It consists of two parts. Part I briefly reviews the theories of fiscal decentralisation and its impact on the nations' welfare considering the major challenges for a transition economy. Part II of the paper describes the general structure and scope of the government and examines the current fiscal autonomy in Mongolia focusing on the four main areas of intergovernmental relations. This paper concludes that local governments in Mongolia are still far away from having the political, administrative and fiscal autonomy. New approaches for the assignments of expenditures and revenues in Mongolia are urgently needed.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Petersen2007, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Petersen, Hans-Georg}, title = {UWM/UP joint study program: experience, problems, and future perspectives}, issn = {1864-1431}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-16147}, year = {2007}, abstract = {The paper describes the exchange program in between the University of Wisconsin/ Milwaukee and the University of Potsdam in the field of economics.

Our paper attempts to trace these differences in the labor market performance back to the regions' specialization in products that are more or less advanced in their product cycle. The model we develop shows how individual profit and utility maximization endogenously yields higher employment levels in the beginning. In later phases, however, employment decreases in the presence of process innovation. Our model suggests that the only way to escape from this vicious circle is to specialize in products that are at the beginning of their "economic life". The model is based on an interaction of demand and supply side forces.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Sanner2005, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Sanner, Helge}, title = {Price responses to market entry with and without endogenous product choice}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14399}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Textbook wisdom says that competition yields lower prices and higher consumer surplus than monopoly.
