Positional Power in Hierarchies
van den Brink, René; Steffen, Frank - 2007
Power is a core concept in the analysis and design of organisations. In this paper we consider positional power in … hierarchies. One of the problems with the extant literature on positional power in hierarchies is that it is mainly restricted to … the analysis of power in terms of the bare positions of the actors. While such an analysis informs us about the authority …

Balanced Consistency and Balanced Cost Reduction for Sequencing Problems
van den Brink, Rene; Chun, Youngsub - 2010
We investigate the implications of imposing balanced consistency and balanced cost reduction in the context of sequencing problems. Balanced consistency requires that the effect on the payoff from the departure of one agent to another agent should be equal between any two agents. On the other...

Abolishing GDP
van den Bergh, Jeroen C.J.M. - 2007
Expectations and information about the growth of GDP per capita have a large influence on decisions made by private and public economic agents. It will be argued here that GDP (per capita) is far from a robust indicator of social welfare, and that its use as such must be regarded as a serious...
