This paper summarizes the findings of an analysis among scientific infrastructure service providers. These service providers have been evaluated in regard to their potential services for the management of publication-related research data. By conducting a desk research and an online survey, we found out that almost three quarters of all responding research data centres, archives and libraries generally ...
Im vorliegenden Papier werden die Ergebnisse einer Analyse zusammengefasst, in der untersucht wurde, welche Services für das Management von publikationsbezogenen Forschungsdaten gegenwärtig bei wissenschaftlichen Infrastrukturdienstleistern bestehen. Mit Hilfe einer Befragung und einer Desktop-Recherche wurde ermittelt, dass etwa Dreiviertel aller untersuchten einschlägigen Forschungsdatenzentren, ...
Die hier vorgestellten Projektergebnisse wurden im Rahmen des Projekts EDaWaX (European Data Watch Extended, www.edawax.de) erarbeitet. EDaWaX wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (www.dfg.de) gefördert. Institutionell beteiligt sind an diesem Projekt der Rat für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsdaten (RatSWD), das Institut Inno-tec der LMU München in Kooperation mit dem Max Planck Institute for Intellectual ...
Der Ausgangspunkt unserer Analyse ist der Rat der Enquete-Kommission "Wachstum, Wohlstand, Lebensqualität" des Deutschen Bundestags, "das bestehende Berichts- und Sachverständigenwesen der Bundesregierung im Wege einer Evaluierung auf Redundanzen und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten hin zu überprüfen". Nach unserer Besichtigung und Bewertung der Gremien und Berichtslandschaft lassen sich einige Reformideen ...
We investigate whether people become more willingly self-employed during boom periods or in recessions and to what extent it is the business cycle or the employment status influencing entry rates into entrepreneurship. Our analysis for Germany reveals that start-up activities are positively influenced by unemployment rates and that the cyclical component of real GDP has a negative effect. This implies ...
We analyze the sources of the rise in the levels of self-employment in Germany since reunification by applying the non-linear Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique. This analysis is performed separately for East and West Germany in order to account for the East German recovery of entrepreneurship after 40 years of socialist regime. We find different results for self-employed people with employees ...
There are strong two-way links between parent and child happiness (life satisfaction), even for 'children' who have grown up, moved to their own home and partnered themselves. German panel evidence shows that transmission of (un)happiness from parents to children is partly due to transmission of values and behaviors known to be associated with happiness (Headey, Wagner and Muffels, 2010, 2012). These ...
In this paper I investigate the causal returns to education for different educational groups in Germany by employing a new method by Klein and Vella (2010) that bases identification on the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity. Compared to IV methods, key advantages of this approach are unbiased estimates in the absence of instruments and parameter interpretation that is not bounded to local average ...
