Intellectual property and fourth industrial revolution technologies
United in disagreement
Shared belief systems are generally assumed to forge policy networks. Empirical evidence whether and to what extend shared policy core beliefs create ally networks and under which circumstances shared policy core beliefs are not necessary to form these networks, however, is limited. Based on a novel inferential network approach in combination with mediation analysis, this study investigates the role of belief systems as a link between interest gr…
Does training beget training over the life course? Cumulative advantage in work-related non-formal training participation in Germany and the UK
Continuous training participation over the career becomes ever more important. However, most existing research mainly analyzed training at single points in time. This article investigates training dynamics and hence asks the question of whether training begets training. We provide two contributions to the literature: First, we analyze if previous training participation has an effect on later participation, leading to strict cumulative advantages.…
Retirement in Western Germany - How Workplace Tasks Influence Its Timing
In this article, task data from the German Qualification and Career Survey (BIBB/IAB) is matched against the Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB) to investigate what patterns are discernible in retirement between 1985 and 2005 in Western Germany. Set against a background of pension reforms and substantial structural change, the article asks whether the nature of occupational tasks has any significant effect on the timing of retir…
The political economy of local government financialization and the role of policy diffusion
By analyzing why English local governments have made extensive use of long‐term market loans with embedded derivatives, this paper seeks to contribute to the growing literature on local government financialization. Using an original, large‐N panel dataset for the period from 1998 to 2014, we show that the configuration of the local political economy is an important driver of financialization processes: a Labour Party majority as well as fiscal an…
Partnered women's contribution to household labor income
Regulating the audit market in the European Union
This paper examines the role of interest groups in the regulation of the European audit market, clarifying patterns of business influence in European Union policy-making. Building on recent innovations in measuring policy preferences, the conditions are analyzed under which interest groups were most successful in attaining their preferences during the policy-making process. Existing methods for measuring interest group influence are refined by di…
A stalled revolution? What can we learn from women’s drop-out to part-time jobs
Self-Reported Satisfaction and the Economic Crisis of 2007-2010

Are Fixed-Term Jobs Bad for Your Health
In this paper we analyse the health effects of fixed-term contract status for men and women in West-Germany and Spain using panel data. This paper asks whether changes in the employment relationship, as a result of the liberalisation of employment law, have altered the positive health effects associated with employment (Jahoda 1982; Goldsmith et al. 1996). Using information on switches between unemployment and employment by contract type we analy…
