"Using new and unique linked employer-employee data from Germany, I examine the extent to which immigrants sort into worse-paying establishments and worse job positions within establishments. The results demonstrate that recent immigrants are particularly likely to work at low-paying workplaces....

La sous-traitance a connu un essor considérable depuis vingt ans en France. Ces pratiques ne sont pas une réponse à l'instabilité supposée croissante de l'environnement économique. Elles représentent surtout une nouvelle étape dans la subordination réelle de la force de travail au...

This paper contributes to the program of numerical characterization and classification of simple games outlined in the classic monograph of von Neumann and Morgenstern. We suggest three possible ways to classify simple games beyond the classes of weighted and roughly weighted games. To this end...
