  • Das Verhältnis zwischen Hieroglyphen- und Keilschrift-Luwisch

    Francis BreyerARTICLEAltorientalische Forschungen2022

    The linguistic differences between Hieroglyphic and Cuneiform Luwian have long been known. However, it is unclear how these should be assessed: How exactly do the two varieties relate to each other? Are they different dialects, just different registers or even different sociolects? Based on the thesis developed recently, according to which the transformation of the Luwian hieroglyphs into a veritable writing system only took place in the context …

  • Die altäthiopischen Monatsnamen ägyptisch-koptischer Herkunft

    Open AccessFrancis Breyer, Francis Amadeus Karl BreyerARTICLEAethiopica2012

    The amount of different spellings for the Ethiopian month names originally borrowed from Coptic has always been confusing. On a closer look, they can be divided into two groups, whose differences exactly correspond to those between the Coptic dialects Sahidic and Bohairic. Thus, the nouns in question are not only of greatest value for our understanding of Coptic phonology – and through their etymological connections to Old Egyptian even for this …

  • Fairness of Public Pensions and Old-Age Poverty

    Francis Breyer, Friedrich Breyer et al.ARTICLEFinanzArchiv2009

    In several OECD countries, public pay-as-you-go pension systems have undergone major reforms in which future retirement benefit promises have been scaled down. A consequence of these reforms is that, especially in countries with a tight tax-benefit linkage, the retirement benefit claims of low-income workers might not even exceed the minimum income guarantee that the government provides the aged. Recently, some German politicians have criticized …

  • The Shortage of Human Organs

    Open AccessFrancis Breyer, Friedrich Breyer et al.ARTICLEAnalyse & Kritik2007References: 1

    There is an ever increasing shortage of human organ transplants in Germany. This paper aims at understanding the reasons for that shortage better and then discusses various ways to overcome it. After estimating the potential supply of donor organs it is discussed why actual supply remains far below potential supply. Insufficient reimbursement for hospitals, a lack of incentives to donate, and mistaken donation rules are diagnosed to cause the sho…

  • The German Retirement Benefit Formula

    Francis Breyer, Friedrich Breyer et al.ARTICLEFinanzArchiv2004

    We identify several objectionable features of the German retirement benefit formula. Groups of insureds with higher than average life expectancy are subsidized by the rest of the members because the formula neglects differences in group-specific life expectancy. Moreover, undesirable long-run effects arise if the earnings ceiling is raised or mandatory membership is extended, or if life expectancy rises or the rate of population growth declines. …

  • Die Schriftzeugnisse Des Prädynastischen Königsgrabes U-J in Umm El-Qaab

    Open AccessFrancis Breyer, Francis Amadeus Karl BreyerARTICLEThe Journal of Egyptian Archaeology2002

    In the first volume of the Umm el-Qaab series, G. Dreyer has published the earliest known examples of writing in Egypt, found in the tomb U-j in Umm el-Qaab, supposed to be that of an obscure king ‘Scorpion’. Although the new material has been excellently presented, many interpretations will not bear closer scrutiny, particularly the reconstructed scheme of several predynastic kings. Being of the greatest importance for our understanding not only…

  • Outpatient Psychoanalytic Individual and Group Psychotherapy in a Nationwide Catamnestic Study in Germany

    Roland Heinzel, Francis Breyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Ethnography2000

    Unlike many (clinical) outcome projects, this study was designed to measure and evaluate the effects of individual and group-analytical psychotherapy performed in its most prevalent setting: outpatient treatment in the therapist's office. Drawing on a 20 percent sample of all members of the two main associations of psychoanalytical psychotherapists in Germany a one-page questionnaire was sent through their therapists to almost 1,000 former patien…

  • Comment on the Papers by J. M. Buchanan and by A. de Jasay and H. Kliemt

    Open AccessFrancis Breyer, Friedrich BreyerARTICLEAnalyse & Kritik1996

    We distinguish between the paradigm of game theory in which individuals act directly and that of social choice in which an impartial observer acts on the basis of social preferences, which in turn are derived from individual preferences. Much of the critique of Sen brought forward by Buchanan and de Jasay and Kliemt rests on a confusion of these two paradigms.
