Forerunners vs. latecomers—institutional competition in the German federalism during the Covid crisis
During the COVID-19 pandemic, political competition among the premiers of Germany’s 16 federal states intensified, with leaders striving to position themselves as proactive forerunners in managing the crisis. This paper examines the timing and determination of these state leaders in announcing, legislating, and enforcing COVID-19 policies, with attention to regional contexts and specific determinants influencing their actions.

Does popularity matter in a TV song competition? Evidence from a national music contest
A considerable amount of literature analyzes factors of success in music contests, particularly those where the audience votes for the winner. However, one aspect highlighted by the economic theory of stardom is generally neglected in the literature: the role of (pre-contest) popularity of the contestants. In this paper, we tackle this research gap by focusing on a national music contest in Germany and investigating how pre-contest popularity of …
Does music quality matter for audience voters in a music contest
There are numerous studies analysing factors of success in media-broadcasted artistic contests, especially music competitions. However, one factor that is generally neglected in the literature is the quality of the artistic performances (i.e. ‘music quality’). In this paper, we approach this research gap by developing two novel concepts of music quality and by employing unique measures during the empirical analysis of a popular German music telev…
Industrial organization of media markets and competition policy
This chapter outlines the modern industrial organization theory of media markets including competition policy implications. After recapturing fundamentals of industrial organization theory in a non-technical way, the state of the art of (i) modern platform economics and (ii) the economics of data-based business models and data-driven markets is summarized in a detailed way and illustrated by modern media examples. An overview on competition polic…
Drivers of article processing charges in open access
Large publishing companies have been dominating scientific publishing for long, which leads to high subscription fees and inhibited access to scientific knowledge. At digital era, the opportunity of an unrestricted access appears feasible, because the cost of publishing should be low. It is no longer the readers and libraries to pay subscription fees, but scientific organizations and authors themselves who pay for the cost of having their article…
Do preferences for pop music converge across countries? – Empirical evidence from the Eurovision Song Contest
The combination of the digitalisation of cultural goods and facilitated cross-border availability through the internet fuels a globalisation process that is often said to cause a homogenisation of demand across countries, in particular, for entertainment goods as music and movies. In order to test this hypothesis, we analyse historical voting data of the Eurovision Song Contest, which has taken place annually since 1956, thus covering the timespa…
Gute Regeln oder Wirtschaftslenkung? Europas neue Herausforderungen
Systematic shortcomings of discretionary economic policy called for a major change of political strategies. For a rather long time, the linkage of fiscal or monetary policy measures to conditions or operating alternatives established in advance was thought to be useful and carefully targeted. Novel experiences caused by the recent international financial crisis urge to critically revise long-standing practice. The contribution at hand attends to …
Competence Allocation in the EU Competition Policy System as an Interest-Driven Process
This paper provides a positive analysis of the evolution of competence allocation within the EU Competition Policy System. In the EU, competition policy competences are ascribed both to the European level and to each Member State. In regard to securing a sound antitrust system, the allocation and delimitation of these competences plays a major role. Accordingly, competence allocation has been a major issue in the recent reforms of cartel policy e…
