The importance of young professionals for dam engineering in Switzerland

Samuel Luke Vorlet, Valentina Favero

In Switzerland, hydropower is the main energy source and contributes to about 58.3% of the total production. The 2050 energy strategy aims to increase this share in the coming decades. This increase is a challenge for hydropower plants. The maintenance and ...

Essays on Mortgage Supply in a Low Rate Environment and Gender Effects of Covid-19

After the financial crisis, policy rates in the major advanced economies have moved downwards to near/below zero. Some countries have experienced an increase in house prices and an expansion of mortgages. Also, there have been considerable changes in the m ...

Endogenous Energy Efficiency Improvement

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Sergey Arzoyan

We managed to construct two novel and functional methodologies to depict the evolution of energy efficiency improvements (EEI) in two Swiss sectors, housing and cement. This allowed us to obtain a better representation of EEI triggered by energy and climat ...

The Sensitivity of Housing Demand to Financing Conditions: Evidence from a Survey

Andreas Fuster

Measuring the sensitivity of housing demand to mortgage rates and available leverage is challenging because there is generally no exogenous variation in these variables. This paper circumvents this issue by designing a strategic survey in which respondents ...
