We propose a model of the dynamics of organizational communication. Our model specifies the mechanics by which communication impact is fed back to communication inputs and closes the gap between sender and receiver of messages. We draw on language critique, a branch of language philosophy, and derive joint linguistic actions of interlocutors to explain the emergence and adaptation of communication on the group level. The model is framed by Te'eni's cognitive-affective model of organizational communication.
We analyze the implications of the governance structure in academic faculties for their recruitment decisions when competing for new researchers. The value to individual members through social interaction within the faculty depends on the average status of their fellow members. In recruitment decisions, incumbent members trade off the effect of entry on average faculty status against alternative uses of the recruitment budget if no entry takes place. We show that the best candidates join the best faculties but that they receive lower wages than some lesser ranking candidates. We also study the allocation of surplus created by the entry of a new faculty member and show that faculties with symmetric status distributions maximize their joint surplus under majority voting.
Die Studie untersucht die Frage, ob der Gesetzgeber des ARUG die Ziele erreicht hat, die mit der Reform des Rechts der Anfechtung von HVBeschlüssen verfolgt wurden. Darüber hinaus gehend soll die Entwicklung der Beschlußmängelklagen seit der letzten Studie der Verfasser hierzu nachgezeichnet werden. Unsere Studie zeigt, daß seit Inkrafttreten des ARUG ein deutlicher Rückgang der Beschlußmängelklagen und Freigabeverfahren zu verzeichnen ist. Dagegen ist der Anteil der von „Berufsklägern“ erhobenen Klagen und Nebeninterventionen gleich geblieben, wobei sich die Anzahl der Personen in der Gruppe der „Berufskläger“ nochmals vergrößert hat. Das ARUG hat insoweit keine erkennbare Wirkung gehabt...

Depending on the point of time and location, insurance companies are subject to different forms of solvency regulation. In modern regulation regimes, such as the future standard Solvency II in the EU, insurance pricing is liberalized and risk-based capital requirements will be introduced. In many economies in Asia and Latin America, on the other hand, supervisors require the prior approval of policy conditions and insurance premiums, but do not conduct risk-based capital regulation. This paper compares the outcome of insurance rate regulation and risk-based capital requirements by deriving stock insurers’ best responses. It turns out that binding price floors affect insurers’ optimal capital structures and induce them to choose higher safety levels. Risk-based capital requirements are a more efficient instrument of solvency regulation and allow for lower insurance premiums, but may come at the cost of investment efforts into adequate risk monitoring systems. The paper derives threshold values for regulator’s investments into risk-based capital regulation and provides starting points for designing a welfare-enhancing insurance regulation scheme.

Am 27. März 2011 wird im Rahmen der hessischen Kommunalwahlen auch über eine Schuldenbremse abgestimmt. Diese sieht vor, dass vom Jahr 2020 an der Landeshaushalt grundsätzlich auszugleichen ist. Alfons Weichenrieder argumentiert, dass eine in der Verfassung verankerte Schuldenregel dazu geeignet ist die im politischen Prozess angelegten Anreize zur Verschuldung zu zügeln. Auf die disziplinierende Wirkung der Finanzmärkte alleine zu vertrauen reicht nicht.
