This paper discusses the emergence of endogenous redistributive cycles in a stochastic growth model with incomplete asset markets and heterogeneous agents, where agents vote on the degree of progressivity in the taxñtransferñscheme. The model draws from BÈnabou (1996) and ties the bias in the distribution of political power to the degree of inequality in the society, thereby triggering redistributive cycles which then give rise to a nonlinear, cyclical pattern of savings rates, growth and inequality over time.
This paper investigates the redistributive effects of taxation on occupational choice and growth. We discuss a twoñsector economy in the spirit of Romer (1990). Agents engage in one of two alternative occupations: either selfñemployment in an intermediate goods sector characterized by monopolistic competition, or employment as an ordinary worker in this sector. Entrepreneurial pro_ts are stochastic. The occupational choice under risk endogenizes the number of _rms in the intermediate goods industry. While the presence of entrepreneurial risk results in a suboptimally low number of _rms and depresses growth, nonñlinear tax schemes are partly capable of compensating the negative by effects by ex post providing a social insurance.
Diese Studie diskutiert mögliche Varianten einer Sustainability Balanced Scorecard. Dabei geht es um die Integration von Umwelt- und Sozialmanagement in das 1992 von Kaplan und Norton entwickelte strategische Managementkonzept der Balanced Scorecard. Die hier entwickelte Sustainability Balanced Scorecard stellt Unternehmen ein Instrument für ein wertorientiertes Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement zur Verfügung.

Der Bericht stellt die Kernergebnisse einer Befragung zum Expatriate-Management von 31 deutschen Unternehmen vor. Behandelt werden die Themen Auswahl von Expatriates, Vorbereitung, Training und Begleitung, Fluktuation im Kontext der Entsendung und zukünftig erwartete Entwicklungen im Expatriate-Management.
This paper analyzes conditions for existence of a strongly rational expectations equilibrium (SREE) in models with private information, where the amount of private information is endogenously determined. It is shown that the conditions for existence of a SREE known from models with exogenously given private information do not change as long as it is impossible to use the information transmitted through market prices. In contrast, these conditions are too weak, when there is such learning from prices. It turns out that the properties of the function which describes the costs that are associated with the individual acquisition of information are important in this respect. In case of constant marginal costs, prices must be half as informative than private signals in order for a SREE to exist. An interpretation of this result that falls back on the famous Grossman–Stiglitz–Paradox is also given.
Die wachsende Komplexität technischer Systeme und deren immer weiter gehende Vernetzung machen einen rechnergestützten Entwurf unabdingbar. In dem Aufsatz wird mit mit VISTA ein Entwurfsprozess verteilter, eingebetteter Systeme vorgestellt, welcher unterschiedliche Konzepte (wie Systementwurf durch UML, Softwarebeschreibung und -generierung durch SDL, Multidomänenmodellierung und -simulation sowie Echtzeitsimulation) nahtlos miteinander kombiniert und damit einen inkrementellen Entwurf ermöglicht.
Abstract: A recent survey of 54 micro-econometric studies reveals that exporting firms are more productive than non-exporters. On the other hand, previous empirical studies show that exporting does not necessarily improve productivity. One possible reason for this result is that most previous studies are restricted to analysing the relationship between a firm’s export status and the growth of its labour productivity, using the firms’ export status as a binary treatment variable and comparing the performance of exporting and non-exporting firms. In this paper, we apply the newly developed generalised propensity score (GPS) methodology that allows for continuous treatment, that is, different levels of the firms’ export activities. Using the GPS method and a large panel data set for German manufacturing firms, we estimate the relationship between a firm’s export-sales ratio and its labour productivity growth rate. We find that there is a causal effect of firms’ export activities on labour productivity growth. However, exporting improves labour productivity growth only within a sub-interval of the range of firms’ export-sales ratios.
