This overview presents the authorities responsible for the examination of applications for international protection in EU+ countries, which are commonly described as asylum authorities. The authorities which are competent for Dublin procedure will be presented on a separate issue. For each...

With the evolution of generative AI systems, machine-made productions in the literary and artistic domain have reached a level of refinement that allows them to substitute human creations. Inevitably, the increasing sophistication of AI systems will disrupt the market for human literary and...

This paper discusses the concept of authority in global governance by unpacking the components that characterize its various notions. These components are the triadic relationship between power, legitimacy, and the reference to public interests, and how they are embedded in the constellation...

I develop a dynamic agency model to investigate optimal managerial authority and its interaction with managerial compensation. The model shows that when hiring a manager, the principal delegates authority that is unresponsive to either the manager's outside options or the rm's recruitment costs,...

This study provides a critical analysis of the proposed independent EU ethics body (EUEOA), as put forward by the European Parliament Resolution of 16 September 2021, to strengthen transparency and integrity in EU institutions. The report does so by way of an internationally comparative,...

Team decision-making prevails in modern organizations. Teams often need to decide whether to delegate or make a decision themselves. Recent work has found that many individuals assign a significantly positive intrinsic value to having a decision right, which may distort the choice between...

In diesem Beitrag geht es um die Effekte des Fehlens und die Möglichkeit des Entstehens einer normativ anspruchsvollen politischen Öffentlichkeit, welche weitreichend sind. So lässt sich die gegenwärtige Krise der Global Governance und des globalen politischen Systems auf das Fehlen einer...

Philosophers, psychologists, and economists have long argued that certain decision rights carry not only instrumental value but may also be valuable for their own sake. The ideas of autonomy, freedom, and liberty derive their intuitive appeal – at least partly – from an assumed positive...

In this laboratory experiment we study the use of strategic ignorance to delegate real authority within a firm. A worker can gather information on investment projects, while a manager makes the implementation decision. The manager can monitor the worker. This allows her to better exploit the...

In vielen Unternehmen sind Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter unzufrieden mit ihren Vorgesetzten, was sich negativ auf die Leistungsbereitschaft und das Arbeitsklima auswirkt. Häufig lassen sich Fehler und Mängel im Führungsbereich als Hauptursache identifizieren. Doch was macht ein gutes...

Der Beitrag attestiert den gegenwärtig viel diskutierten Theorien radikaler Demokratie eine erziehungstheoretische Leerstelle. Wie in Auseinandersetzung mit Chantal Mouffe und Jacques Rancière gezeigt werden soll, gründet diese Nichtthematisierung in erster Linie in der...

We consider a relational contracting model in which the parties choose to allocate authority either to the principal (centralization) or to the agent (delegation). The party who has authority chooses a project, and the agent exerts effort to successfully execute the project. Delegation generates...

Managerialism has often been defined as an ideology, according to which the effective and efficient running of commercial firms, not-for-profit organizations and public administrations is delivered by individuals who possess superior formal knowledge and expertise in management. Arguing to their...

Using a unique employee-establishment matched survey, we find a causal relationship between an individual employee's trust of management and the delegation of real authority. We utilize both fixed effects and instrumental variables to control for unobserved factors: establishment-level fixed...

Undocumented individuals with deferred action find themselves in a kafkaesque position, and neither scholars nor courts have persuasively addressed how their liminal immigration status affects their rights in the workplace. Many begin with the intuitive assumption that immigration and employment...

Authority and power permeate political, social, and economic life, but empirical knowledge about the motivational origins and consequences of authority is limited. We study the motivation and incentive effects of authority experimentally in an authority-delegation game. Individuals often retain...

This online appendix contains the derivation of the closed form solutions for the examples used in the main working paper No. 16-002. It establishes the result stated in Section 4.3 of the main paper, that Proposition 4 continues to hold even if the price is endogenous and there are production...

Revenue sharing between principals and agents is commonly used to balance double-sided moral hazard. We provide a theory of how, when such revenue-sharing is optimal, a principal allocates control rights over decisions that either party could make. We show that the principal either keeps control...

The paper analyzes the inherent risks of paternalistic economic policies associated with the newly established economic sub-disciplines of behavioral economics, happiness economics and economic psychology. While the authors in general welcome these sub-disciplines for enriching and critically...
