Real exchange rates are a major short-run determinant of any country's capacity to compete. In this paper, we compute a unit-labour-costs-based real exchange rate for Switzerland for the period 1980-2006. This study uses manufacturing sector data on wages and labour productivity in Switzerland and twelve of its major trade partners and present detailed findings on relative labour costs and relative productivity trends. Our main findings are that, measured in these terms, the Swiss real exchange rate depreciated by some 9% in the period under analysis and that this improvement in competitiveness is essentially due to Swiss wage moderation. At a bilateral level, results highlight diverging trends: a significant gain of competitiveness is observed vis-à-vis Germany, Italy, the UK, Spain, A...

Given the sharp rise in crude oil prices and growing awareness of climate change, the potential of biofuels, particularly of bioethanol, has become an ubiquitous topic of public debate and has induced ambitious policy initiatives. The latter are mostly paired with protectionist measures as the examples of the European Union and the United States show, where domestic producers of energy crops are put at an advantage thanks to subsidisation, direct payments and/or favourable tax schemes. Moreover, the EU is working out a mandatory certification scheme for ethanol imports, imposing social and environmental standards which constitute another hurdle for more efficiently produced ethanol originating in the Southern hemisphere. A similar path is taken by Switzerland's revised mineral oil tax l...
