Abstract
In dieser Studie wird geprüft, ob die Genauigkeit der ersten Schätzung der Bruttowertschöpfung und des Bruttoinlandsprodukts für die Bundesländer erhöht und damit das Ausmaß der nachfolgenden Revisionen reduziert werden kann. Dazu werden alternative ökonometrische Methoden und zusätzliche Daten herangezogen. Zunächst wird untersucht, in welchen Bereichen die Revisionen stärker ausfallen als in anderen. Dabei werden das BIP und die Bruttowertschöpfung (BWS) auf der Wirtschaftszweig-Gliederungsebene A*10 mit Zusammenfassungen in die Untersuchung einbezogen. Anschließend werden die amtlichen Ergebnisse mit denen der alternativen Ansätze verglichen. Insgesamt ist das Ausmaß, in dem der Revisionsbedarf mit alternativen Methoden verringert werden konnte, relativ gering.

European Banking in Transformational Times: Regulation, Crises, and Challenges

No. 7,

Abstract
This paper assesses the progress made towards the creation of the European Banking Union (EBU) and the evolution of the banking industry in the European Union since the financial crisis of 2007. We review major regulatory changes pertaining to the three pillars of the EBU and the effects of new legislation on both banks and the real economy. Whereas farreaching reforms pertaining to the EBU pillars of supervision and resolution regimes have been implemented, the absence of a European Deposit Scheme remains a crucial deficiency. We discuss how European banks coped with recent challenges, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, a high inflation environment, and digitalization needs, followed by an outlook on selected major challenges lying ahead of this incomplete EBU, notably the transition towards a green economy.

Understanding Post-Covid Inflation Dynamics

Abstract
We propose a macroeconomic model with a nonlinear Phillips curve that has a flat slope when inflationary pressures are subdued and steepens when inflationary pressures are elevated. The nonlinear Phillips curve in our model arises due to a quasi-kinked demand schedule for goods produced by firms. Our model can jointly account for the modest decline in inflation during the Great Recession and the surge in inflation during the post-COVID period. Because our model implies a stronger transmission of shocks when inflation is high, it generates conditional heteroskedasticity in inflation and inflation risk. Hence, our model can generate more sizeable inflation surges due to cost-push and demand shocks than a standard linearized model. Finally, our model implies that the central bank faces a more severe trade-off between inflation and output stabilization when inflation is elevated.
