Durch die Umstellung der Schulzeit bis zum Abitur von 13 auf zwölf Jahre entstehen zwischen 2007 und 2015 so genannte Doppelabiturjahrgänge. Hierdurch werden insbesondere in den Jahren 2011 und 2013 mehr Abiturienten auf den Ausbildungs- und Hochschulmarkt drängen. [...] Die Hochschulen werden vor der Herausforderung stehen, den Ansturm der Abiturienten zu meistern. Die Autoren liefern mit ihrem Beitrag eine erste Analyse der Situation und skizzieren die Chancen und Herausforderungen, die sich dem HR-Management im Zuge dieser Entwicklung eröffnen ...
This paper traces the profound decline in German unionism over the course of the last three decades. Today just one in five workers is a union member, and it is now moot whether this degree of penetration is consistent with a corporatist model built on encompassing unions. The decline in union membership and density is attributable to external forces that have confronted unions in many countries (such as globalization and compositional changes in the workforce) and to some specifically German considerations (such as the transition process in postcommunist Eastern Germany) and sustained intervals of classic insider behavior on the part of German unions. The ‘correctives’ have included mergers between unions, decentralization, and wages that are more responsive to unemployment. At issue is the success of these innovations. For instance, the trend toward decentralization in collective bargaining hinges in part on the health of that other pillar of the dual system of industrial relations, the works council. But works council coverage has also declined, leading some observers to equate decentralization with deregulation. While this conclusion is likely too radical, German unions are at the cross roads. It is argued here that if they fail to define what they stand for, are unable to increase their presence at the workplace, and continue to lack convincing strategies to deal with contemporary economic and political trends working against them, then their decline may become a rout.
Using OLS and quantile regression methods and rich cross-section data sets for western and eastern Germany, this paper demonstrates that the impact of works council presence on labor productivity varies between manufacturing and services, between plants that are or are not covered by collective bargaining, and along the conditional distribution of labor productivity. No productivity effects of works councils are found for the service sector and in manufacturing plants not covered by collective bargaining. Besides demonstrating that it is important to look at evidence based on more than one data set, our empirical findings point to the efficacy of supplementing OLS with quantile regression estimates when investigating the behavior of heterogeneous plants.
This paper discusses the interdependencies that exist between vertically-linked industries in the (Spence-)Dixit-Stiglitz model of monopolistic competition. The main objective is to develop a concept for quantifying the magnitude of sectoral coherence in models of the New Economic Geography. It is motivated by the suggestion, by Venables (1996), that 'strategic industries' be identi®ed in terms of their agglomeration potential. Using a partial-analytic approach, we focus on inter-industrial relations in a closed economy to draw conclusions regarding international trade. We ascertain that two factors have an impact upon the strength of industrial linkages: 1) the monopolistic scope of intermediate suppliers, in terms of (technical) substitution elasticity; and the share in downstream costs for intermediates. Within a simulation study, this paper applies this new theoretical concept to eight basic industries across ten European countries.
An empirical analysis of various waves of the ALLBUS social survey shows that union density fell substantially in western Germany from 1980 to 2004 and in eastern Germany from 1992 to 2004. Such a negative trend can be observed for men and women and for different groups of the workforce. Regression estimates indicate that the probability of union membership is related to a number of personal and occupational variables such as age, public sector employment and being a blue collar worker (significant in western Germany only). A decomposition analysis shows that differences in union density over time and between eastern and western Germany to a large degree cannot be explained by differences in the characteristics of employees. Contrary to wide-spread perceptions, changes in the composition of the workforce seem to have played a minor role in the fall in union density in western and eastern Germany.
Abstract. The ecological literature suggests that biodiversity reduces the variance of ecosystem services. Thus, conservative biodiversity management has an insurance value to risk-averse users of ecosystem services. We analyze a conceptual ecological-economic model in which such management measures generate a private benefit and, via ecosystem processes at higher hierarchical levels, a positive externality on other ecosystem users. We find that ecosystem management and environmental policy depend on the extent of uncertainty and risk-aversion as follows: (i) Individual effort to improve ecosystem quality unambiguously increases. The free-rider problem may decrease or increase, depending on the characteristics of the ecosystem and its management; in particular, (ii) the size of the externality may decrease or increase, depending on how individual and aggregate management effort influence biodiversity; and (iii) the welfare loss due to free-riding may decrease or increase, depending on how biodiversity influences ecosystem service provision.

Systemanalyse für Softwaresysteme ist ein Manuskript zum Selbststudium und zur Begleitung von Lehrveranstaltungen. Es vermittelt eine Einführung in die Systemanalyse in diesem Informatik-Kontext. Systemanalyse wird dargestellt als ein zielorientiertes Vorgehen mit vielfältigen Konkretisierungs- und Abstraktionsaktivitäten. Die Vorgehensweise wird anhand von Beispielen erläutert.
Datenmodelle sind ein zentraler Bestandteil betrieblicher Informationssysteme. In der Praxis eingesetzte Datenmodelle erreichen oft eine erhebliche Komplexität. Eine Möglichkeit zur Reduktion der Komplexität besteht darin, gleiche oder ähnliche Teilstrukturen zu identifizieren. Durch Ausnutzung solcher Strukturanalogien kann dann das Datenmodell vereinheitlicht und vereinfacht werden. Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, die bestehenden Ansätze zur Definition, Identifikation und Ausnutzung von Strukturanalogien in Datenmodellen weiterzuentwickeln.
