Marcel Mauss und ökonomische Theorien. Die Institution Geld
This paper puts Marcel Mauss's concept on money in the context of economic theories. Mauss articulated his thoughts on money in the first decades of the 20 th century. They are considerably less known and discussed than his famous essay on 'the gift'. Nevertheless, his contributions on the origin and function of money are worth being examined in economics as well as in economic-anthropological discourse. This essay relates Mauss's ideas to microe…
The Gift and Pay-What-You-Want Pricing
This paper addresses the participative pricing mechanism of Pay-What-You-Want pricing as related to Marcel Mauss’s concept of the Gift. Reciprocity is a behavioural pattern imminent to the Gift as well as to Pay-What-You-Want pricing. The paper refers to results from behavioural economics in order to identify factors that positively influence reciprocity. It is argued that the aspects elaborated on in the Gift are also relevant to the PWYW pricin…
The Gift and the Centipede
This paper addresses the similarity between behavioural economics and social anthropology with respect to approaches on repeated reciprocity. The case at hand is the application of the Centipede game to Marcel Mauss's concept of the Gift. In a Centipede game players interact in an alternating sequence of decisions to take or to pass an endowment. Mauss describes sequences of reciprocal giving in potlatch cultures, in which strict obligations dete…

Choices and changes of recruitment methods in a Tanzanian city
Labour market processes in Tanzania constitute an important but an under-researched topic. This study investigates the recruitment methods of private companies in Mwanza, Tanzania's second largest city. It asks whether employers make use of informal methods more often than formal methods, whether the skills required for a job relate to the choice of methods and whether the vacancy period of a position is linked to a specific approach. A survey co…

Business Success Through Social Networks? A Comment on Social Networks and Business Success
In the literature on entrepreneurship in developing countries, the argument that social networks are an essential factor for entrepreneurial success has been given considerable attention. This article challenges this one-sided view by pointing out negative and restrictive effects of social networks on entrepreneurial success in particular, and on economic development in general. The article is structured as a comment on Kristiansen (2004), who wo…
The Culture of a Market: A Case Study of Open-Air Horse Markets
Individuals related to an organization develop organizational cultures, which in turn determine individuals' interactions. This idea is applied to markets and their spatial dimension, the marketplaces. The paper treats open-air horse markets. It is shown how horse traders, their customers, and state authorities influence the development of a particular market culture and how this promotes trade. Additionally, the paper seeks to explain why seemin…
Cross‐border Small‐scale Trading in South‐Eastern Europe: Do Embeddedness and Social Capital Explain Enough
The article analyses cross‐border small‐scale trading (CBST) from the perspective of New Institutional Economics. It offers an alternative analytical starting point to this topic, which is mainly tackled by sociologists and anthropologists. It is argued that concepts like social capital or social embeddedness can be of certain analytical use but that they hardly suffice to explain human behaviour in a detailed manner. The case of reference is the…
