(2007-10-05)

neue Souveränität: von der Bühne der Lehre abzutreten, um das Lernen professionell zu leiten. Statt ...

Identifying Employment Creating Sectors in India
(kassel university press, 2014-05)
For a labour surplus economy like India employment generation remains a perennial concern. While growth of GDP is supposed to address this problem, not all sectors of the economy are equally employment intensive.

The rational of minimum wages
(kassel university press, 2021-03)

Guarantee of minimum wages can play an important role to contain the destabilising potential of labour markets. They can add to the stability of price level development and help establish a type of wage dispersion preferred by society. Minimum wages do not lead ...
