Each paper deals with a specific macroeconomic question. The first paper assesses the distributional implications of environmental policies from a general equilibrium macroeconomic perspective. I develop a New-Keynesian model with several types of uncertainties and frictions that incorporates liquidity constrained households. The model is calibrated to match the German economy and the numerical results show that climate policy instruments can be associated with regressive welfare effects. Furthermore, the analysis shows that these effects can be mitigated through an appropriate revenue recycling scheme. The second paper deals with short-run inequality dynamics within a real business cycle model. An empirical evaluation shows that the cyclical components of income inequality, the capital share and real GDP are correlated. We develop tractable representation of common inequality indicators in the general equilibrium model and show that the observed pattern is driven by innovations in the capital share. A Bayesian estimation of the model for the United States with data for the period 1948 to 2017 indicates that the model provides a reasonable fit for the data and successfully replicates the observed pattern of cyclical correlations. The third paper empirically examines the effects of banking regulation on the risk-relationship between sovereigns and banks. Based on a comprehensive data set of the European banking sector, we find that the implementation of the novel European banking regulation framework significantly contributed to a weakening of the risk-link between sovereigns and banks.The fourth paper empirically examines the role of institutional experience for institutional development in transition economies. To capture institutional experience, we develop a novel index, based on historical country records. The results of cross-sectional and panel estimations suggest that institutional experience helps to explain the divergent economic and institutional development in transition economies after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.}, language = {de} } @article{Stoppel2021, author = {Stoppel, Relika}, title = {Alcohol availability and alcohol-attributable mortality}, series = {CESifo economic studies : CESifo, a joint initiative of the University of Munich's Center for Economic Studies and the Ifo Institute}, volume = {67}, journal = {CESifo economic studies : CESifo, a joint initiative of the University of Munich's Center for Economic Studies and the Ifo Institute}, number = {4}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

This paper estimates the effect of reduced alcohol sales hours on alcohol-attributable mortality (AAM) in Estonia. Using novel mortality data from 1997 to 2015, this paper analyzes the effect of alcohol sales policies at both the county level and the country level. By applying the difference-in-differences method and the ARIMA model, this paper finds that the alcohol sales policy reduced AAM to between 1.710 and 2.401 deaths per 100,000 per month, which equals a reduction of 31\% to 40\% in AAM deaths. These findings suggest that individuals who are the most at risk of dying from alcohol-attributable causes of death benefit remarkably from reduced alcohol availability.}, language = {en} } @article{GleissKohlhagenPousttchi2021, author = {Gleiss, Alexander and Kohlhagen, Marco and Pousttchi, Key}, title = {An apple a day}, series = {Electronic markets : EM ; the international journal of electronic commerce and business media}, volume = {31}, journal = {Electronic markets : EM ; the international journal of electronic commerce and business media}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {1019-6781}, doi = {10.1007/s12525-021-00467-2}, pages = {849 -- 876}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The healthcare industry has been slow to adopt new technologies and practices.

The dissertation connects the well-known concept of technology management with OI formats and applies these on specific manufacturing technologies within a clearly defined setting. Technological breakthroughs force firms to continuously adapt and reinvent themselves. The pace of technological innovation and their impact on firms is constantly increasing due to more connected infrastructure and accessible resources (i.e. data, knowledge). Especially in the manufacturing sector it is one key element to leverage new technologies to stay competitive. These technological shifts call for new management practices. TM supports firms with various tools to manage these shifts at different levels in the firm. It is a multifunctional and multidisciplinary field as it deals with all aspects of integrating technological issues into business decision-making and is directly relevant to a number of core business processes. Thus, it makes sense to utilize this theory and their practices as a foundation of this dissertation. However, considering the increasing complexity and number of technologies it is not sufficient anymore for firms to only rely on previous internal R\&D and managerial practices. OI can expanse these practices by involving distributed innovation processes and accessing further external knowledge sources. This expansion can lead to an increasing innovation performance and thereby accelerate the time-to-market of technologies. Research in this dissertation was based on the expectations that OI formats will support the R\&D activities of manufacturing technologies on the operational level by providing access to resources, knowledge, and leading-edge technology. The dissertation represents uniqueness regarding the rich practical data sets (observations, internal documents, project reviews) drawn from a very large German high-tech firm. The researcher was embedded in an R\&D unit within the operational TM department for manufacturing technologies. The analyses include 1.) an exploratory in-depth analysis of a crowdsourcing initiative to elaborate the impact on specific manufacturing technologies, 2.) a deductive approach for developing a technology evaluation score model to create a common understanding of the value of selected manufacturing technologies at the operational level, and 3.) an abductive reasoning approach in form of a longitudinal case study to derive important indicator for the in-process activities of science-based partnership university-industry collaboration format. Thereby, the dissertation contributed to research and practice 1.) linkages of TM and OI practices to assimilate technologies at the operational level, 2.) insights about the impact of CS on manufacturing technologies and a related guideline to execute CS initiatives in this specific environment 3.) introduction of manufacturing readiness levels and further criteria into the TM and OI research field to support decision-makers in the firm in gaining a common understanding of the maturity of manufacturing technologies and, 4.) context-specific important indicators for science based university-industry collaboration projects and a holistic framework to connect TM with the university-industry collaboration approach The findings of this dissertation illustrate that OI formats can support the acceleration of time-to-market of manufacturing technologies and further improve the technical requirements of the product by leveraging external capabilities. The conclusions and implications made are intended to foster further research and improve managerial practices to evolve TM into an open collaborative context with interconnectivities between all internal and external involved technologies, individuals and organizational levels.}, language = {en} } @article{Kambasu2021, author = {Kambasu, Obed}, title = {Rationalising industrial action}, series = {Employee relations}, volume = {43}, journal = {Employee relations}, number = {5}, publisher = {Emerald Group Publishing Limited}, address = {Bingley}, issn = {0142-5455}, doi = {10.1108/ER-05-2020-0246}, pages = {1163 -- 1177}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Purpose The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the rising waves of workplace militancy in the public sector and to provide insights into the perceptions that frame justification for industrial action among Ugandan public sector employees. Design/methodology/approach In-depth interviews and documentary analysis, analysed qualitatively, as well as a review of theoretical and empirical literature. Findings Public school teachers and public university lecturers in Uganda who frequently engage in industrial action mainly rationalise their engagement by the absence, or the ineffectiveness of alternative conflict resolution mechanisms. The findings also show that industrial action, even in resource-constrained settings like Uganda, is stimulated more by the desire to achieve equity rather than by the basic desire to improve working conditions. It is also notable that new, often unstructured, forms of workplace militancy continue to emerge in the public sector, and waves of industrial action are shifting from the industrial to the public sector. Practical implications Whereas industrial action is a protected labour right, the findings of this research strongly suggest that public employees do not necessarily enjoy their right to engage, but only reluctantly take industrial action as a "last resort". The findings will, therefore, help public managers and policymakers to appreciate their responsibility in reducing the compulsion for industrial action among public employees. Originality/value This paper provides a general explanation for industrial action from the perspective of the people involved, rather than explaining the causality of specific strike actions.

By using issue analysis, negotiators become aware of their own and their opponents' preferences on negotiation issues and are able to use this knowledge to optimize their degree of success. Following research on asymmetrical preferences in negotiations, we introduce a new approach for issue analysis that considers the identification of one-sided preferences, specifically a 0-preference for issues from one party. We conducted an experimental study to test if this type of preference for an issue (chance issue) yields strategic potential for a negotiator. We also examined whether the identification of these chance issues could be particularly relevant for a low-power party in negotiations with a power imbalance, to overcome the lower scope of action due to the weaker negotiating position. The results indicate initial verification that no preference at all for one issue could lead to higher individual performance and noneconomic outcomes.

In this paper, we report three studies that add to this nascent literature theoretically, methodologically, and empirically. In Study 1, we validate an effective short-form measure of global PLB using three different samples. In Studies 2 and 3, we draw on the job demands-resources model to propose that paradoxical leaders promote followers' work engagement by simultaneously fostering follower goal clarity and work autonomy. The results of survey data from Studies 2 and 3 largely confirm our model. Specifically, our findings show that PLB is positively associated with follower goal clarity and work autonomy, and that PLB exerts an indirect effect on work engagement via these variables. Moreover, our results support a hypothesized interaction effect of goal clarity and work autonomy to predict followers' work engagement, as well as a conditional indirect effect of PLB on work engagement via the interactive effect. We discuss the practical implications for leaders and organizations. Practitioner points To effectively engage followers in their work, leaders should create work environments in which followers know exactly what to do (i.e., have high goal clarity), but at the same time can determine on their own how to do their work (i.e., have high work autonomy) To foster both goal clarity and work autonomy, leaders should combine communal (e.g., other-centred, flexibility-providing) and agentic aspects of leadership (e.g., maintaining decision control and enforcing performance standards). HR departments should design leadership trainings that help leaders to combine seemingly opposing, yet ultimately synergistic behaviours.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Hefen2021, author = {Hefen, Veronika}, title = {Karrierewege in der Wirtschaftspr{\"u}fung unter besonderer Ber{\"u}cksichtigung der relativen Repr{\"a}sentation von Frauen}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-52983}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-529831}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {XIX, 411}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Ausgangspunkt der Dissertation ist die Fragestellung, warum es relativ wenige weibliche Wirtschaftspr{\"u}fer/innen in Deutschland gibt.

We focus on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a key means of alleviating these disruptions and promoting social inclusion. As social disruptions typically lead to frustration and fragmentation, it is essential to ensure the social inclusion of individuals and societies during such times. In the context of the social inclusion of refugees, we focus on the Syrian refugees who arrived in Germany as of 2015, as they form a large and coherent refugee community. In particular, we address the role of ICTs in refugees' social inclusion and investigate how different ICTs (especially smartphones and social networks) can foster refugees' integration and social inclusion. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we focus on the widespread unconventional working model of work from home (WFH). Our research here centers on the main constructs of WFH and the key differences in WFH experiences based on personal characteristics such as gender and parental status. We reveal novel insights through four well-established research methods: literature review, mixed methods, qualitative method, and quantitative method. The results of our research have been published in the form of eight articles in major information systems venues and journals. Key results from the refugee research stream include the following: Smartphones represent a central component of refugee ICT use; refugees view ICT as a source of information and power; the social connectedness of refugees is strongly correlated with their Internet use; refugees are not relying solely on traditional methods to learn the German language or pursue further education; the ability to use smartphones anytime and anywhere gives refugees an empowering feeling of global connectedness; and ICTs empower refugees on three levels (community participation, sense of control, and self-efficacy). Key insights from the COVID-19 WFH stream include: Gender and the presence of children under the age of 18 affect workers' control over their time, technology usefulness, and WFH conflicts, while not affecting their WFH attitudes; and both personal and technology-related factors affect an individual's attitude toward WFH and their productivity. Further insights are being gathered at the time of submitting this thesis. This thesis contributes to the discussion within the information systems community regarding how to use different ICT solutions to promote the social inclusion of refugees in their new communities and foster an inclusive society. It also adds to the growing body of research on COVID-19, in particular on the sudden workplace transformation to WFH.

Firms are facing an increasingly complex environment and highly complex product and service landscapes that often require multiple organizations to collaborate for innovation and offerings. Public-private partnerships that are targeted at supporting this have been introduced by policy-makers in the recent past. One example for such a partnership is the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) with multiple Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). The EIT has been initiated by the European Commission in 2008 with the ambition of addressing grand societal challenges, driving innovativeness of European companies, and supporting systemic change. The resulting network organizations are managed similarly to corporations with managers, boards, and firm-like governance structures. EIT Digital as one of the EIT KICs are a central case of this work. Research in this dissertation was based on the expectation that corporate foresight activities will increasingly be embedded in such interorganizational settings and a) can draw on such settings for the benefit of themselves and b) may contribute to shared visions, trust building and planning in these network organizations. In this dissertation the EIT Digital (formerly EIT ICT Labs) is a central case, supplemented with insights from three additional cases. I draw on the rich theoretical understanding of the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, and particularly the relational view to further the discussion in the field of corporate foresight—defined as foresight in organizations in contrast to foresight with a macro-economical perspective—towards a relational understanding. Further, I use and revisit Rohrbeck's Maturity Model for the Future Orientation of Firms as conceptual frame for corporate foresight in interorganizational settings. The analyses—available as four individual publications complemented by on additional chapter—are designed as exploratory case studies based on multiple data sources including an interview series with 49 persons, two surveys (N=54, n=20), three supplementary interviews, access to key documents and presentations, and observation through participation in meetings and activities of the EIT Digital. This research setting allowed me to contribute to corporate foresight research and practice by 1) integrating relational constructs primarily drawn from the relational view and dynamic capabilities research into the corporate foresight research stream, 2) exploring and understanding capabilities that are required for corporate foresight in interorganizational and networked organizations, 3) discussing and extending the Maturity Model for network organizations, and 4) to support individual organizations to tie their foresight systems effectively to networked foresight systems.}, language = {en} } @book{Franke2021, author = {Franke, Patrick}, title = {Social - Media - Personalmarketing in der {\"o}ffentlichen Verwaltung}, issn = {2190-4561}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-54906}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-549062}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {IV, 68}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Durch den demographischen Wandel wird das Erwerbspersonenpotential und damit die Anzahl erwerbst{\"a}tiger Personen, insbesondere die Zahl der Fachkr{\"a}fte in den kommen-den Jahren in Deutschland zur{\"u}ckgehen.

These perspectives contrasted with those of contemporary neoclassical and later mainstream economic approaches. We identify three distinct dimensions to an institutionalist perspective on competition. First, institutionalist approaches focused on describing industry details, so as to bring theory into closer contact with reality. Second, institutionalists emphasized that while competition was sometimes beneficial, it could also be disruptive. Third, institutionalists had a broad view of the objectives of competition policy that extended beyond effects on consumer welfare. Consequently, institutionalists advocated for a wide range of policies to enhance competition, including industrial self-regulation, broad stakeholder representation within corporations, and direct governmental regulations. Their experimental attitude implied that policy would always be evolving, and antitrust enforcement might be only one stage in the development toward a regime of industrial regulation.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Graeber2021, author = {Graeber, Daniel}, title = {Four essays on the socio-economic causes and consequences of individual health as well as public health crises}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-51517}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-515175}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {XIV, 249}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Inequalities in health are a prevalent feature of societies. And as societies, we condemn inequalities that are rooted in immutable circumstances such as gender, race, and parental background. Consequently, policy makers are interested in measuring and understanding the causes of health inequalities rooted in circumstances. However, identifying causal estimates of these relationships is very ambitious for reasons such as the presence of confounders or measurement error in the data. This thesis contributes to this ambitious endeavour by addressing these challenges in four chapters. In the first Chapter, I use 25 years of rich health information to describe three features of intergenerational health mobility in Germany. First, we describe the joint permanent health distribution of the parents and their children. A ten percentile increase in parental permanent health is associated with a 2.3 percentile increase in their child's health. Second, a percentile point increase in permanent health ranks is associated with a 0.8\% to 1.4\% increase in permanent income for, both, children, and parents, respectively. Non-linearities in the association between permanent health and income create incentives to escape the bottom of the permanent health distribution. Third, upward mobility in permanent health varies with parental socio-economic status. In the second Chapter, we estimate the effect of maternal schooling on children's mental health in adulthood. Using the Socio-Economic Panel and the mental health measure based on the SF-12 questionnaire, we exploit a compulsory schooling law reform to identify the causal effect of maternal schooling on children's mental health. While the theoretical considerations are not clear, we do not find that the mother's schooling has an effect on the mental health of the children. However, we find a positive effect on children's physical health operating mainly through physical functioning. In addition, albeit with the absence of a reduced-form effect on mental health, we find evidence that the number of friends moderates the relationship between maternal schooling and their children's mental health. In the third Chapter, against a background of increasing violence against non-natives, we estimate the effect of hate crime on refugees' mental health in Germany. For this purpose, we combine two datasets: administrative records on xenophobic crime against refugee shelters by the Federal Criminal Office and the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees. We apply a regression discontinuity design in time to estimate the effect of interest. Our results indicate that hate crime has a substantial negative effect on several mental health indicators, including the Mental Component Summary score and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 score. The effects are stronger for refugees with closer geographic proximity to the focal hate crime and refugees with low country-specific human capital. While the estimated effect is only transitory, we argue that negative mental health shocks during the critical period after arrival have important long-term consequences. In the last Chapter of this thesis, we investigate how the economic consequences of the pandemic and the government-mandated measures to contain its spread affect the self-employed - particularly women- in Germany. For our analysis, we use representative, real-time survey data in which respondents were asked about their situation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings indicate that among the self-employed, who generally face a higher likelihood of income losses due to COVID-19 than employees, women are 35\% more likely to experience income losses than their male counterparts. We do not find a comparable gender gap among employees. Our results further suggest that the gender gap among the self-employed is largely explained by the fact that women disproportionately work in industries that are more severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis of potential mechanisms reveals that women are significantly more likely to be impacted by government-imposed restrictions, e.g., the regulation of opening hours. We conclude that future policy measures intending to mitigate the consequences of such shocks should account for this considerable variation in economic hardship.}, language = {en} } @article{DiluisoWalkManychetal.2021, author = {Diluiso, Francesca and Walk, Paula and Manych, Niccolo and Cerutti, Nicola and Chipiga, Vladislav and Workman, Annabelle and Ayas, Ceren and Cui, Ryna Yiyun and Cui, Diyang and Song, Kaihui and Banisch, Lucy A. and Moretti, Nikolaj and Callaghan, Max W. and Clarke, Leon and Creutzig, Felix and Hilaire, Jerome and Jotzo, Frank and Kalkuhl, Matthias and Lamb, William F. and L{\"o}schel, Andreas and M{\"u}ller-Hansen, Finn and Nemet, Gregory F. and Oei, Pao-Yu and Sovacool, Benjamin K. and Steckel, Jan Christoph and Thomas, Sebastian and Wiseman, John and Minx, Jan C.}, title = {Coal transitions - part 1}, series = {Environmental research letters}, volume = {16}, journal = {Environmental research letters}, number = {11}, publisher = {Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP)}, address = {Bristol}, issn = {1748-9326}, doi = {10.1088/1748-9326/ac1b58}, pages = {40}, year = {2021}, abstract = {A rapid coal phase-out is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, but is hindered by serious challenges ranging from vested interests to the risks of social disruption. To understand how to organize a global coal phase-out, it is crucial to go beyond cost-effective climate mitigation scenarios and learn from the experience of previous coal transitions. Despite the relevance of the topic, evidence remains fragmented throughout different research fields, and not easily accessible. To address this gap, this paper provides a systematic map and comprehensive review of the literature on historical coal transitions. We use computer-assisted systematic mapping and review methods to chart and evaluate the available evidence on historical declines in coal production and consumption. We extracted a dataset of 278 case studies from 194 publications, covering coal transitions in 44 countries and ranging from the end of the 19th century until 2021. We find a relatively recent and rapidly expanding body of literature reflecting the growing importance of an early coal phase-out in scientific and political debates. Previous evidence has primarily focused on the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany, while other countries that experienced large coal declines, like those in Eastern Europe, are strongly underrepresented. An increasing number of studies, mostly published in the last 5 years, has been focusing on China. Most of the countries successfully reducing coal dependency have undergone both demand-side and supply-side transitions. This supports the use of policy approaches targeting both demand and supply to achieve a complete coal phase-out. From a political economy perspective, our dataset highlights that most transitions are driven by rising production costs for coal, falling prices for alternative energies, or local environmental concerns, especially regarding air pollution. The main challenges for coal-dependent regions are structural change transformations, in particular for industry and labor. Rising unemployment is the most largely documented outcome in the sample. Policymakers at multiple levels are instrumental in facilitating coal transitions. They rely mainly on regulatory instruments to foster the transitions and compensation schemes or investment plans to deal with their transformative processes. Even though many models suggest that coal phase-outs are among the low-hanging fruits on the way to climate neutrality and meeting the international climate goals, our case studies analysis highlights the intricate political economy at work that needs to be addressed through well-designed and just policies.}, language = {en} } @article{DiluisoAnnicchiaricoKalkuhletal.2021, author = {Diluiso, Francesca and Annicchiarico, Barbara and Kalkuhl, Matthias and Minx, Jan Christoph}, title = {Climate actions and macro-financial stability}, series = {Journal of environmental economics and management}, volume = {110}, journal = {Journal of environmental economics and management}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0095-0696}, doi = {10.1016/j.jeem.2021.102548}, pages = {22}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees C may pose threats to macroeconomic and financial stability.

We show that, even for very ambitious climate targets, transition costs are moderate along a timely and gradual mitigation pathway. Inflation volatility strongly increases for disorderly climate policy, demanding a strong monetary response by central banks. In reaction to an adverse financial shock originating in the fossil sector, a green quantitative easing policy can provide an effective stimulus to the economy, but its stabilizing properties do not significantly differ from those of market neutral asset purchase programs. A financial regulation, encouraging the decarbonization of the banks' balance sheets via ad hoc capital requirements, can significantly reduce the severity of a financial crisis, but prolongs the recovery phase.

However, conflicting factors, such as patient safety and privacy concerns, make it difficult to foresee the further development of VIPAs in health care.
Objective: This study aimed to develop a plausible scenario for the further development of VIPAs in health care to support decision making regarding the procurement of VIPAs in health care organizations. Methods: We conducted a two-stage Delphi study with an internationally recruited panel consisting of voice assistant experts, medical professionals, and representatives of academia, governmental health authorities, and nonprofit health associations having expertise with voice technology. Twenty projections were formulated and evaluated by the panelists. Descriptive statistics were used to derive the desired scenario.
Results: The panelists expect VIPAs to be able to provide solid medical advice based on patients' personal health information and to have human-like conversations. However, in the short term, voice assistants might neither provide frustration-free user experience nor outperform or replace humans in health care. With a high level of consensus, the experts agreed with the potential of VIPAs to support elderly people and be widely used as anamnesis, informational, self-therapy, and communication tools by patients and health care professionals. Although users' and governments' privacy concerns are not expected to decrease in the near future, the panelists believe that strict regulations capable of preventing VIPAs from providing medical help services will not be imposed.
Conclusions: According to the surveyed experts, VIPAs will show notable technological development and gain more user trust in the near future, resulting in widespread application in health care.

In this article, we revisit Pigou's contribution and argue that this consensus is somewhat spurious, particularly in two ways: (1) Economists are too quick to ignore the theoretical problems and subtleties that Pigouvian pricing still faces; (2) The wholesale skepticism concerning the political viability of Pigouvian pricing is at odds with its recent practical achievements. These two points are made by, first, outlining the theoretical and political challenges that include uncertainty about the social cost of carbon, the unclear relationship between the cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness approaches, distributional concerns, fragmented ministerial responsibilities, an unstable tax base, commitment problems, lack of acceptance and trust between government and citizens as well as incomplete international cooperation. Secondly, we discuss the recent political success of Pigouvian pricing, as evidenced by the German government's 2019 climate policy reform and the EU's Green Deal.

Albeit overall rarely, it is increasingly used to understand human behavior and may fulfill many criteria of a personal trait. In a controlled laboratory environment, we measured the participants' Pace of Life, as well as their performance on a real-effort task. In the real-effort task, the participants had to encode words, whereby each word encoded correctly was associated with a monetary reward. We found that individuals with a faster Pace of Life accomplished more tasks in total. At the same time, they were less accurate and made more mistakes (in absolute terms) than those with a slower Pace of Life. Thus, the Pace of Life seems to be useful to identify an individual's stance on the speed-accuracy continuum. In our specific task, placing more weight on speed instead of accuracy paid off: Individuals with a faster Pace of Life were ultimately more successful (with regard to their monetary revenue).}, language = {en} } @article{TiberiusHauptmeijer2021, author = {Tiberius, Victor and Hauptmeijer, Raoul}, title = {Equity crowdfunding}, series = {Journal of small business management : advancing small business management and entrepreneurship research worldwide / published on behalf of the International Council for Small Business}, volume = {59}, journal = {Journal of small business management : advancing small business management and entrepreneurship research worldwide / published on behalf of the International Council for Small Business}, number = {2}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {London}, issn = {0047-2778}, doi = {10.1080/00472778.2020.1849714}, pages = {337 -- 369}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In this study, we explore the development of equity crowdfunding (ECF) over the next 5 to 10 years by conducting an international Delphi study.

A central question, then, is how to overcome such obstacles to cooperation.

Our unique setup exploits data from a large-scale lab-in-the-field experiment in a quasi-experimental evaluation framework. We find that the policy caused male, but not female, immigrants to significantly increase their cooperativeness toward natives. We show that the increase in out-group cooperation among immigrant boys is an outcome of more trust rather than a reflection of stronger other-regarding preferences towards natives. In exploring factors that may explain these behavioral effects, we present evidence that the policy also led to a near-closure of the educational achievement gap between young immigrant men and their native peers.

Combining observed day-to-day temperature variability with subnational economic data for 1,537 regions worldwide over 40 years in fixed-effects panel models, we find that an extra degree of variability results in a five percentage-point reduction in regional growth rates on average. The impact of day-to-day variability is modulated by seasonal temperature difference and income, resulting in highest vulnerability in low-latitude, low-income regions (12 percentage-point reduction).

Der Forschungsgegenstand ist die Schnittstelle aus den Bereichen Gr{\"u}ndungen, Migrantentum und Hochqualifikation. Der Fokus auf die sehr spezifische Zielgruppe Gr{\"u}ndungen durch Akademikerinnen und Akademiker mit Migrationshintergrund f{\"u}llt eine wichtige L{\"u}cke in der bisherigen Forschung. Methodisch gesehen bedient sich diese Arbeit eines theoretischen Bezugsrahmens. Dieser besteht aus der neoinstitutionalistischen Organisationstheorie (Meyer \& Rowan 1977), dem Ressourcenabh{\"a}ngigkeitsansatz (Pfeffer \& Salancik 1978) sowie dem sechs-dimensionalen Modell des Gr{\"u}nder{\"o}kosystems (Isenberg 2011). Gr{\"u}ndungen durch Akademikerinnen und Akademiker mit Migrationshintergrund m{\"u}ssen ihre interne Ausgestaltung an die Anforderung der institutionellen Umwelt anpassen, um die notwendige Legitimit{\"a}t zu sichern. Dadurch k{\"o}nnen bei unterschiedlichen Gr{\"u}ndungen isomorphe Organisationsstrukturen entstehen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus k{\"o}nnen akademische Gr{\"u}ndende mit Migrationshintergrund durch interorganisatorische Aktivit{\"a}ten den Zugang zu nicht-substituierbaren Ressourcen f{\"u}r die Unternehmensgr{\"u}ndung bzw. Gesch{\"a}ftsentwicklung erm{\"o}glichen bzw. erleichtern.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beinhaltet nicht nur Daten aus Sekund{\"a}rquellen und bereits vorhandenen quantitativen Studien im deskriptiven Teil, sondern auch direkte Informationen durch eigene qualitative Untersuchung im empirischen Teil. Daf{\"u}r wurden insgesamt 23 semistrukturierte Experteninterviews durchgef{\"u}hrt.

Keine der bisher vorliegenden Arbeiten legt ihren Fokus auf die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftler:innen in Forschungsteams, obwohl wissenschaftliche Zusammenarbeit ein weitgehend unerforschtes Gebiet ist. Dies verwundert insofern, da gerade innovative und komplexe Aufgaben, wie sie im Bereich der Forschung bestehen, das kreative Potenzial Einzelner sowie eine gut funktionierende Kooperation der einzelnen Individuen ben{\"o}tigen. Die Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaftler:innen in den AUF findet in einem kompetitiven Umfeld statt. Einerseits stehen die AUF auf Organisationsebene im Wettbewerb zueinander und konkurrieren um Forschungsgelder und wissenschaftliches Personal. Andererseits ist die kompetitive Einwerbung von Drittmitteln f{\"u}r Wissenschaftler:innen essentiell, um Leistungen, gemessen an hochrangigen Publikationen und Drittmittelquoten, f{\"u}r die eigene Karriere zu erbringen. Ein zunehmender Anteil an Drittmittelfinanzierung in den Einrichtungen hat zudem Auswirkungen auf die Personalpolitik und die Anzahl befristeter Arbeitsverh{\"a}ltnisse. Gleichzeitig wird Forschungsf{\"o}rderung h{\"a}ufig an Kollaborationen von Wissenschaftler:innen gekn{\"u}pft und bei Publikationen und Forschungsergebnissen zeigen Studien, dass diese {\"u}berwiegend das Resultat von mehreren Personen sind. Dieses Spannungsfeld zwischen Zusammenarbeit und Wettbewerb wird verst{\"a}rkt durch die fehlenden M{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs in der Wissenschaft zu bleiben. Auch wenn die Bundesregierung auf diese Herausforderungen reagiert, muss der Einzelne seinen Weg zwischen Zusammenarbeit und Konkurrenz finden. Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist es, nachfolgende Forschungsfragen zu beantworten: 1. Wie k{\"o}nnen naturwissenschaftliche Forschungsteams in AUF charakterisiert werden? 2. Wie agiert die einzelne Forscherin/ der einzelne Forscher im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kooperation und Wettbewerb? 3. Welche Potentiale und Hemmnisse lassen sich auf Individual-, Team- und Umweltebene f{\"u}r eine erfolgreiche Arbeit von Forschungsteams in AUF ausmachen? Um die Forschungsfragen beantworten zu k{\"o}nnen, wurde eine empirische Untersuchung im Mixed Method Design, bestehend aus einer deutschlandweiten Onlinebefragung von 574 Naturwissenschaftler:innen in AUF und qualitativen Interviews mit 122 Teammitgliedern aus 20 naturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsteams in AUF, durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Teams eher als Arbeitsgruppen bezeichnet werden k{\"o}nnen, da v.a. in der Grundlagenforschung kein gemeinsames Ziel als vielmehr ein gemeinsamer inhaltlicher Rahmen vorliegt, in dem die Forschenden ihre individuellen Ziele verfolgen. Die Arbeit im Team wird {\"u}berwiegend als positiv und kooperativ beschrieben und ist v.a. durch gegenseitige Unterst{\"u}tzung bei Problemen und weniger durch einen thematisch wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisprozess gepr{\"a}gt. Dieser findet vielmehr in Form kleiner Untergruppen innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppe und vor allem in enger Abstimmung mit der Teamleitung (TL) statt. Als wettbewerbsversch{\"a}rfend werden vor allem organisationale Rahmenbedingungen, wie Befristungen und der Flaschenhals, thematisiert. Die TL nimmt die zentrale Rolle im Team ein, tr{\"a}gt die wissenschaftliche, finanzielle und personelle Verantwortung und muss den Forderungen der Organisation gerecht werden. Promovierende konzentrieren sich fast ausschließlich auf ihre Qualifizierungsarbeit. Bei Postdocs ist ein Spannungsfeld zu erkennen, da sie eigene Projekte und Ziele verfolgen, die neben den Anforderungen der TL bestehen. Die Gatekeeperfunktion der TL wird gest{\"a}rkt durch ihre Rolle bei der Weitergabe von karriererelevanten Informationen im Team, z.B. bei anstehenden Konferenzen. Sie hat die wichtigen Kontakte, sorgt f{\"u}r die Vernetzung des Teams und ist f{\"u}r die Netzwerkpflege zust{\"a}ndig. Der wissenschaftliche Nachwuchs verl{\"a}sst sich bei seinen Aufgaben und den karriererelevanten Faktoren sehr auf ihre Unterst{\"u}tzung. Nicht-wissenschaftliche Mitarbeitende gilt es st{\"a}rker zu ber{\"u}cksichtigen, dies sowohl in ihrer Funktion in den Teams als auch in der Gesamtorganisation. Sie sind die zentralen Ansprechpersonen des wissenschaftlichen Personals und sorgen f{\"u}r eine Kontinuit{\"a}t bei der Wissensspeicherung und -weitergabe. F{\"u}r die Organisationen gilt es, unterst{\"u}tzende Rahmen-, Arbeits- und Aufgabenbedingungen f{\"u}r die TL zu schaffen und den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs bei einer fr{\"u}hzeitigen Verantwortung f{\"u}r wissenschaftliche und karriererelevante Aufgaben zu unterst{\"u}tzen. Daf{\"u}r bedarf es verbesserter Personalentwicklungskonzepte und -angebote. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus gilt es, Kooperationsm{\"o}glichkeiten innerhalb der Einrichtung und zwischen den Gruppen zu schaffen, z.B. durch offene R{\"a}ume und Netzwerkm{\"o}glichkeiten, und innovative Arbeitsumgebungen zu f{\"o}rdern, um neue Formen einer innovationsfreundlichen Wissenschaftskultur zu etablieren.}, language = {de} }
