R&D investment and financing constraints of small and medium-sized firms
Czarnitzki, Dirk (contributor); Binz, Hanna L. (contributor) - 2008

Schnabel, Claus (contributor); Wagner, Joachim (contributor) - 2008
In this note we cast some doubt on the claim put forward by David Blanchflower (2007) that the probability of being unionized follows an inverted U-shaped pattern in age with a maximum in the mid- to late 40s. By using a special test for an inverted U-shaped pattern that has not been applied to...
