Designing wearables for use in the workplace: The role of solution developers

Evers, Maren; Krzywdzinski, Martin; Pfeiffer, Sabine - 2018

Wearables (such as data glasses and smartwatches) are a particularly visible element of Industrie 4.0 applications. They aim at providing situation-specific information to workers, but at the same time they can also be used for surveillance and control because they generate data on the work...

The End of Managerial Control?

Raelin, Joseph A. - In: Group & Organization Management 36 (2011) 2, pp. 135-160

This article has the aim of considering whether managerial control, no matter its form, has outlived, its usefulness in postbureaucratic society, and if so, whether it can be replaced by a more emancipatory discourse among local practitioners as they confront the immanent requirements of social...

When does improving health raise GDP?

Ashraf, Quamrul H.; Lester, Ashley; Weil, David N. - 2008

We assess quantitatively the effect of exogenous health improvements on output per capita. Our simulation model allows for a direct effect of health on worker productivity, as well as indirect effects that run through schooling, the size and age-structure of the population, capital accumulation,...

African agricultural mechanization: Myths, realities and an emerging research agenda

Daum, Thomas; Birner, Regina - 2019

African farm systems remain the least mechanized of all continents. There were substantial state-led efforts to promote agricultural mechanization during the 1960s and 1970s, but these efforts failed, which led to a subsequent neglect of mechanization, both in practice and in academia. In...

Investment crowding-out and labor market effects of financialization in the US

González, Ignacio; Sala, Hector - 2013

This paper studies the impact of financialization on unemployment in the U.S. We estimate a dynamic multi-equation macro labor model including labor demand, labor supply, wage-setting and capital accumulation equations. Financialization appears as a key determinant of capital accumulation which,...

On Ramsey's conjecture: Efficient allocations in the neoclassical growth model with private information

Espino, Emilio - 2004

In his seminal paper of 1928, Ramsey conjectured that if agents discounted the future differently, in the long run all agents except the most patient would live at the subsistence level. The validity of this conjecture was investigated in different environments. In particular, it has been...

Eastern enlargement of the EU: Jobs, investment and welfare in present member countries

Heijdra, Ben J.; Keuschnigg, Christian; Kohler, Wilhelm - 2001

Eastern enlargement of the EU promises gains, but also imposes fiscal costs on incumbent countries. A sensitive issue concerns immigration, jobs and wages. We address these issues in a general equilibrium framework, both analytically and through numerical simulations. Analytical results identify...

Optimal factor taxation under wage bargaining: a dynamic perspective

Koskela, Erkki; von Thadden, Leopold - 2002

We consider the issue of steady-state optimal factor taxation in a Ramsey-type dynamic general equilibrium setting with two distinct distortions: i) taxes on capital and labour are the only available tax instruments for raising revenues, and ii) labour markets are subject to a static...
