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 ...

Voting on the threat of exclusion in a public goods experiment
(2019-04-01)

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 ...

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 ...

Hence, plethora of scholars have investigated the role of online reviews and researched factors and characteristics determining its helpfulness. Nevertheless, mixed findings were found.
