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 ...

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 ...
