In many cases, this decision is based on the predictive ability of the considered models. This entails that multiple testing and/or p-hacking pose known risks. This study presents a new statistical approach for comparing all model in a single test, serving as a multi-benchmark reality check test. The behavior of the test is studied asymptotically and in small finite samples. We show how the new approach works by analyzing whether one family of linear bivariate models outperforms a univariate family in predicting commodity prices. This paper raises new questions for future research. From an empirical viewpoint, we present several open questions in economic modeling that can be tested with multi-benchmark tests. Meanwhile, from a theoretical viewpoint, further studies can investigate whether a more general method for approximating or simulating the test distribution can be developed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 106848"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264999324002050/pdfft?md5=8fe46243b7d8dd56e25a17cfa5c3b4f7&pid=1-s2.0-S0264999324002050-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142077484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings indicate that unilateral carbon pricing in Germany or Spain leads to a sustained negative output. The marginal increase in production costs outweighs modest reductions in emissions. However, when Europe collectively adopts carbon pricing, the long-term output effects become positive, although there are more significant transition costs due to close trade relations within Europe. We find evidence of carbon leakage, which is marginally mitigated by a border adjustment mechanism. However, this mechanism mainly protects domestic carbon-intensive sectors and produces inconsistent country outcomes; Germany gains, while Spain loses. Notably, Spain’s energy sector emerges as a long-term beneficiary due to its relatively lower emission intensity. The findings highlight the strategic importance for Europe to engage global partners in carbon pricing as it reduces the economic downturn phase and increases long-term gains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 106840"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264999324001974/pdfft?md5=bb6856fe025e85bc0daf4cf28849067b&pid=1-s2.0-S0264999324001974-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142137074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature has found conflicting effects of government spending on residential investment and housing prices. We hypothesize that differences in the construction sector’s responses may be due to factors unaccounted for in the estimations, such as labor supply response to wage changes, labor reallocation between sectors, and the amount of household debt. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model, we demonstrate that government consumption boosts tradable goods production, resulting in increased labor demand and wages. However, this diverts workers away from construction, potentially deepening the wound in this sector. Specific labor market attributes and economic indebtedness can catalyze worker displacement from the construction sector, thus adversely affecting residential investment and overall credit. As a result, borrowers face considerable welfare losses. Redirecting government spending toward housing sustains residential activity while exacerbating the overall welfare decline.
