Imperfect competition in product markets and labor markets, general equilibrium and unemployment
Schniewind, Achim - 2000
In this thesis it is analyzed if promoting product market competition can help to to fight unemployment in Europe. We have used a general equilibrium model in order to study how reducing mark-ups and increasing productivity in one sector affect aggregate unemployment for an exogenously given...

Democracy, Crises, and Misconceptions
Beilharz, Hans-Jörg - 2005
We consider misconceptions about the functioning of the economy as one possible explanation for the emergence of crises in democracies. Furthermore, we study a political process which may lead to successful reform. First of all, we show that voters can make inefficient decisions concerning...
