Based on a Disaggregate Monte-Carlo Simulation Model, We Will Compute Paths of Long Term Development of Criminal Offenses in the Federal Republic of Germany Until the Year 2030 Based Upon Hypotheses on the Long Term Development of Crime. the Use of This Approach Permits Us to Relate...

Why do some organizations decline while other do not? to study this issue , we introduce technological change into a theory of agency proposed by Laffont and Tirole. We show that the optimal organizational form for production depends on the estent of scale ecoomies and on the cost of monitoring...
