T1 - On-the-job search and the wage distribution N2 - The article structually estimates an on-the-job search model of job separations. Given each employer pays observably equivalent workers the same but wages are dispersed across employers, an employer's separation flow is the sum of an exogenous outflow unrelated to the wage and a job-to-job flow that decreases with the employer's wage. Using data from the Danish Integrated Database for Labour Market Research, the empirical results imply, as predicted by theory, that search effort declines with the wage. Furthermore, the estimates explain the employment effect, defined as the horizontal difference between the distribution of wages earned and the wage offer distribution Y1 - 2005 SN - 0734-306X ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Dahlmann, Olaf T1 - Historical dictionary of Estonia Y1 - 2005 SN - 0140-2382 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Lodge, M. A1 - Wegrich, Kai T1 - Control over government : Institutional isomorphism and governance dynamics in German public administration N2 - The era of public management change is said to challenge traditional "command and control" modes of governance, encouraging a move toward either more informal forms of (co-) governance or market-type incentives and competition. Regardless of whether these claims are made by reform advocates or by more sceptical observers within the wider governance debate, less attention has been paid by either side on the mechanisms that are supposed to facilitate the spread of new forms of control. This article seeks to advance this state of affairs in two ways. First, it utilizes the notion of institutional isomorphism to explore the nature of change of modes of control. In particular, it assesses the mechanisms for change, whether control mechanisms are changing due to coercive, mimetic, or professional mechanisms. Second, it explores the impact of these mechanisms in the federal context of Germany in two policy domains, prison and local government supervision (in the field of building administration). Finally, this article suggests that cultural theory offers considerable insights for the study of institutional isomorphism by emphasizing conflicting worldviews and the diversity of related policy ideas as driving forces of change in modes of governance Y1 - 2005 SN - 0190-292X ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Lodge, M. A1 - Wegrich, Kai T1 - Governing multi-level governance : Comparing domain dynamics in German Land-local relationships and prisons N2 - While the notion of governance has received considerable scholarly attention, much less is known about change, and its sources, across modes of governance within respective policy domains. This article explores these neglected issues in two policy domains characterized by multi-level governance characteristics: Land (state)- local relationships in the domain of building administration and relationships governing the prisons domain in Germany. It does so in three steps. First, the article explores governance and considers endogenous and exogenous sources of change. Second, it discusses the institutional arrangements in the two domains and analyses modes of governance and their change. Third, the article compares the different dynamics of change and links these findings to wider debates regarding change across and within modes of governance. The analysis of the two domains suggests that 'hunting around' effects (i.e. permanent instability) are less prominent than suggested by cultural theory, while external pressures for change are filtered by the preferences of the actors within the respective domains Y1 - 2005 SN - 0033-3298 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Sturzbecher, Dietmar A1 - Großmann, Heidrun A1 - Hermann, Ute A1 - Schellhas, Bernd A1 - Viereck, Karen A1 - Völkel, Petra T1 - Einflussfaktoren auf den Erfolg bei der theoretischen Fahrerlaubnisprüfung Y1 - 2004 SN - 3-936071-04-7 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Krampe, Andreas A1 - Sachse, Steffi A1 - Sturzbecher, Dietmar T1 - Jugendliche und Risikoverhalten im Straßenverkehr Y1 - 2004 SN - 3- 936071-04-7 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Jann, Werner T1 - Verwaltungsmodernisierung auf Bundesebene Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Jann, Werner A1 - Wegrich, Kai T1 - Governance und Verwaltungspolitik Y1 - 2004 SN - 3-8100-3946-2 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Jann, Werner T1 - Entstehung der Policyforschung in den USA Y1 - 2004 SN - 3-8100-4034-7 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Jann, Werner T1 - Politisch Planung Y1 - 2004 SN - 3-406-51127-9 ER -
