In empirischen und theoretischen Untersuchungen wird die Rolle von Verträgen für das Zustandekommen von ökonomischen Transaktionen auf Arbeitsmärkten betont. Da die Investitionstätigkeit in Sach- und Humankapital sowie in Forschung und Entwicklung häufig spezifisch erfolgt, ist es...

In 2009, workers and their families across the country felt the impact of serious economic downturn, with unemployment reaching a 26-year high. While recent news suggests things may be improving, we cannot forget that for many low-wage and hourly workers -- who now represent over a quarter of...

Workers at all levels within an organization have the need to manage their work and personal/family responsibilities. Much of the past research on workplace flexibility has focused on managerial or professional positions, and thus, higher-wage jobs and workers with higher incomes. But more...

This paper seeks to explore the link between unions and nonprofit adult education programs such as those found in workers’ centers in the United States today. It is apparent that current organizing strategies applied by larger unions in the United States today are changing out of necessity....

The Maschler-Perles solution is the unique bargaining solution which is superadditive and satisfies the usual covariance properties. We provide two proofs for superadditivity that do not rely on the standard traveling time.

A cephoid is an algebraic ("Minkowski") sum of finitely many prisms in R^n. A cephoidal game is an NTU game the feasible sets of which are cephoids. We provide a version of the Shapley NTU value for such games based on the bargaining solution of Maschler-Perles.

Existing theoretical literature fails to explain satisfactorily the differences between the pay of workers that are covered by collective agreements and others who are not. This study aims at providing a model framework which is amenable for an analysis of this issue. Our general-equilibrium...

It is given a brief overview over the experimental results in ultimatum games with complete and incomplete information, especially considering fairness. Following theories which model different fairness considerations are presented. The main part extends the Double Auction model by the inequity...
