Social security entitlements are a substantial source of wealth that grows in importance over the individual's lifecycle. Despite its quantitative relevance, social security wealth has been thus far omitted from wealth inequality analyses. In Germany, it is the lack of adequate micro data that accounts for this shortcoming. The two main contributions of this paper are: First, to elaborate a...

It is increasingly observable that in different industries competitors jointly acquire and share customer data.

However, the agriculture-based manufacturing sector (in particular, textile and leather) is likely to be...
