Determinants and Effects of Local Public Education Expenditures - an Empirical Approach
(2019-09-18)
There are many (international) debates on education and education expenditures from a political economic as well as from a scientific perspective. However, the role of German counties and local agents in Germany in general has not been analyzed from an economic perspective yet. This is the reason why my doctoral thesis investigates the role of German counties as the “forgotten” agent for the determinants and effects of local public school expenditures. This cumulative dissertation consists of three econometric papers ...

Working after hours, sharing availability expectations, and interrupting yourself: Extending perspectives on ICT-related concepts in research
(2019)
This dissertation investigates Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their role for recovery, well-being, and performance at work. The three empirical studies compiled in this dissertation investigate the influence of ICT work-related use at work and at home, as well as supervisors’ expectations regarding extended availability. The three main goals of the dissertation were to explore alternative ways of understanding ICT-related concepts, to identify additional factors that change their impact and the ...

Consumer Preferences for Local Food: Testing an Extended Norm Taxonomy
(2018-04-24)
Consumer attitudes toward consuming and buying locally produced food are well studied. By contrast, the topic of consumer preferences for local food, with a special emphasis on the role of norms, still lacks empirical evidence. To study the influence of norms and morals on the intention to buy local food products, a quantitative study (N = 327) focusing on external social and internalized moral norms was conducted using the constructs of the theory of planned behavior in combination with an extended norm taxonomy and ...

Voting on the threat of exclusion in a public goods experiment
(2019-04-01)
Ostracism is practiced by virtually all societies around the world as a means of enforcing cooperation. In this paper, we use a public goods experiment to study whether groups choose to implement an institution that allows for the exclusion of members. We distinguish between a costless exclusion institution and a costly exclusion institution that, if chosen, reduces the endowment of all players. We also provide a comparison with an exclusion institution that is exogenously imposed upon groups. A significant share of ...

Immer noch und immer wieder – Streit um den Status von DRK-Krankenschwestern – Überlegungen nach der Lektüre einer Entscheidungsanmerkung Bernd von Maydells
(2018)
Viele tausend Schwestern des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes arbeiten noch heute in deutschen Krankenhäusern und in der Krankenpflege. Sie tun dies meist auf der Grundlage sogenannter Gestellungsverträge zwischen ihrer jeweiligen Schwesternschaft und dem Krankenhausträger. Der arbeitsrechtliche Status der DRK-Schwestern ist seit Jahrzehnten hochumstritten. Ein Aspekt dieser komplexen Problematik betrifft die Frage, ob solche Schwestern, die aufgrund von Gestellungsverträgen dauerhaft in Krankenhäusern arbeiten, in Bezug auf ...

The choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems: a survey of experimental research
(2019-11-01)
A growing experimental literature studies the endogenous choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems arising in prisoners’ dilemmas, public goods games, and common pool resource games. Participants in these experiments have the opportunity to influence the rules of the game before they play the game. In this paper, we review the experimental literature of the last 20 years on the choice of institutions and describe what has been learned about the quality and the determinants of institutional choice. Cooperative ...

"Währungsunion ohne Wirtschaftsunion"
(2019)
Im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit steht die wirtschaftspolitische Analyse der Konstruktion der Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion. Während die Geld- und Währungspolitik in Europa seit 1999 vollständig supranationalisiert ist, verbleiben zentrale Politikbereiche wie die Wirtschafts- und Finanzpolitik weiterhin in nationalstaatlicher Verantwortung. Die derzeitigen Probleme der EWWU – so die grundlegende Erkenntnis dieser Arbeit – sind v.a. darin begründet, dass die Währungsunion nicht durch eine adäquate Wirtschaftsunion ...

Wettbewerb der Krankenkassen um Mitglieder
(LIT-Verlag, 2010)
Welche Regeln für den Wettbewerb der Krankenkassen um Mitglieder maßgeblich sind, schien eine ganze Zeit lang dmch das Urteil des BSG vom 31.3.19981 geklärt. Inzwischen kann jedoch von Klarheit keine Rede mehr sein. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt an der Rechtsprechung des BGH, der für gewisse Konstellationen der ordentlichen Gerichtsbarkeit einen Zugriff auf die Problematik eröffnet hat. Dies hat gewissermaßen zu einem wettbewerbsrechtlichen Wettbewerb der Gerichtsbarkeiten gefühlt. Deshalb gibt es nun reichlich einschlägiges ...

Trust
(2016-10)
Trust is the enabler of social interaction. Although the origins of research on trust traditionally lie outside the Information Systems (IS) domain, the importance of trust for IS research rapidly grew in the late 1990s, and it is still growing with the increasing ubiquity and advancement of technology in organizations, virtual teams, online markets, and user-technology interactions. Theoretically, the central role of trust is tied to the growing social change that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has ...

Towards A Taxonomy of Text Mining Features
(Association for Information Systems, 2019)
Recently, text mining has received special attention from both researchers and practitioners, since it enables the development of intelligent and automated services. Text mining has been influenced by different disciplines like computer science, statistics, computational linguistics and library and information sciences. However, text mining features that evolved in one particular discipline are often unknown or rarely used in the other disciplines. No scientific feature framework exits which facilitates costly feature ...
