"Influential studies have suggested that initial conditions can have persistent effects on workers' careers within firms. It is a longstanding question among economists whether such lasting wage differentials among firms and industries are due to persistent deviations of wages from workers'...

"Formen der Dezentralisierung wie Gruppenarbeit und Center-Konzepte prägen die Diskussion in der Industrie- und Organisationssoziologie seit Anfang der 1990er Jahre bis heute. Bisher fehlt aber eine detaillierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Einführungsdynamik und den Bedingungen der...

"The aim of this paper is to formalise a two-country model of trade liberalisation and technical change with heterogenous firms and search-and-matching frictions in the labour market. By considering different sectors and factors of production we allow for comparative advantages and study the...

"Expectations regarding the economic development might be correlated due to various reasons: because individuals use the same public information and similar evaluation methods, and because of social learning or herding amongst peers. We analyse to what extent expectations are driven by herd...

"The matching of likes is a frequently observed phenomenon. However, for such assortative matching to arise in a search model, often implausibly strong conditions are required. This paper shows that, once signals are introduced, a search model can generate even perfect assortative matching under...
