description: Der bundesstaatliche Finanzausgleich als Säule eines Solidarsystems der jeweiligen (Bundes-) Länder untereinander steht derzeit in der Diskussion um eine mögliche Neugestaltung. Derzeit stehen 3 Geberländern 13 Nehmerländer gegenüber. Im Zuge einer Neuordnung des bundesstaatlichen Finanzausgleichs stellt sich die Frage, welche einzelnen ökonomischen Anreizwirkungen von dem Ausgleichssystem ausgehen. In der folgenden Abhandlung erfolgt eine individuelle Auswahl einzelner ökonomischer Aspekte, die im bestehenden und in einem zukünftigen Ausgleichssystem zu beachten sind. Der (Länder-) Finanzausgleich im engeren Sinne nimmt dabei eine bedeutende Rolle im gesamten bundesstaatlichen Finanzausgleich ein, sodass auf diesen ein Schwerpunkt gelegt wird.

Assessing The Accuracy Of Radio Astronomy Source Finding Algorithms

description: This work presents a method for determining the accuracy of a source finder algorithm for spectral line radio astronomy data and the Source Finder Accuracy Evaluator (SFAE), a program that implements this method. The accuracy of a source finder is defined in terms of its completeness, reliability, and accuracy of the parameterisation of the sources that were found. These values are calculated by executing the source finder on an image with a known source catalogue, then comparing the output of the source finder to the known catalogue. The intended uses of SFAE include determining the most accurate source finders for use in a survey, determining the types of radio sources a particular source finder is capable of accurately locating, and identifying optimum parameters and areas of improvement for these algorithms. This paper demonstrates a sample of accuracy information that can be obtained through this method, using a simulated ASKAP data cube and the Duchamp source finder.

description: Tax competition for the mobile factor capital has led to a trend in many countries to levy lower taxes on interest income, often introducing differential taxation between interest and business income. In this study, we analyze the effect of such differential taxation on the debt ratio of firms. We exploit a 2009 tax reform in Germany as a quasi-experiment, which introduced a flat final withholding tax and opened a gap of 18 percentage points between the tax rate on income from unincorporated businesses and the new lower tax rate on interest income. We apply a regression adjusted semi- parametric difference-in-difference matching strategy based on firm level panel data. In addition, we implement a more structural approach with a tax rate differential, taking into account its endogeneity by using instrumental variables. The results indicate that firms increase their leverage when the tax rate on interest income decreases, albeit to a small degree.
COVID-19 and Gender Gap in Italy and Japan: Can “Pink Quotas” be the Solution?

Year: 2022

description: Despite the significant improvements in terms of gender equality in recent years, numerous gaps – especially, the one related to the labour market – still persist all over the world also due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The present research intends to discuss whether the controversial gender quota systems – introduced in many countries as a form of positive action to foster a more diverse work environment – could face the crisis in order to avoid the loss of decades’ worth of achievements on equality. We chose to compare Italy – which implemented the quote rosa system in 2011 with mixed results – and Japan – which is reviewing its plan to promote women’s development after failing to achieve its objective of having at least 30% of women in leadership positions by 2020 – because both countries were still far from reaching their goals about gender equality and, therefore, in a vulnerable position when the pandemic hit.

Public debt and financial crises in the twentieth century

Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::336 Öffentliche Finanzen

description: The costs of wars have been the main driver of public debt in the Western World during the modern era. The late twentieth century stands out as a period that saw a pronounced increase of government debt to GDP ratios in peacetime. This paper assesses the role that financial crises have played in shaping the public debt trajectory in the twentieth century. Focusing on the experiences of 14 industrial economies, I show that financial crises have long and lasting effects on public finances. I provide evidence that the costs of financial crises have increased strongly in the second half of the twentieth century and that the costs of financial crises grow with the size of the financial sector. In many countries, the rising costs incurred from stabilizing the economy after financial crises were an important cause of the peacetime surge of public debt ratios in the late twentieth century. In today's highly financialized economies, financial crises have become a key risk for public finances.

description: This paper describes the relational database created for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Onboard Sampling of the Rockfish and Lingcod Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel (CPFV) Industry in Northern and Central California conducted from 1987-1998. The program surveyed the recreational CPFV fleet fishing out of 10 coastal counties (San Luis Obispo north to Del Norte) and three counties inside San Francisco Bay, representing 19 CPFV landing locations. From 1987 through 1998, technicians collected spatially-explicit catch and release records for 7,712 fishing stops during 2,256 observed trips. Presented herein is a brief description of the sampling program, an overview of the relational database, and quality control methods applied to the historical data.

Krall-Laguerre commutative algebras of ordinary differential operators

Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: In 1999, Grunbaum, Haine and Horozov defined a large family of commutative algebras of ordinary differential operators which have orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. These polynomials are mutually orthogonal with respect to a Laguerre-type weight distribution, thus providing solutions to Krall's problem. In the present paper we give a new proof of their result which establishes a conjecture, concerning the explicit characterization of the dual commutative algebra of eigenvalues. In particular, for the Koornwinder's generalization of Laguerre polynomials, our approach yields an explicit set of generators for the whole algebra of differential operators. We also illustrate how more general Sobolev-type orthogonal polynomials fit within this theory.

description: Financing regional government involves trade-offs between own-source taxes and grants. Improved accountability has been an argument behind calls for greater tax devolution, but this argument relies upon effective scrutiny mechanisms existing or being developed. This paper explores such issues through the lens of recent tax devolution to Scotland. Drawing on insights from senior stakeholders, we assess how scrutiny has changed in the aftermath of new powers. We conclude that, despite some improvements, progress has been limited. We develop an analytical framework to understand why, drawing out lessons for improving accountability with fiscal decentralization.

description: We generalize Bell's hidden variable model describing the singlet state of a two-qubits system by extending it to arbitrary states and observables. As in the original work, we assume a uniform, state-independent probability distribution for the hidden variables which are identified with the unit vectors of a 3-dimensional real space. By slightly modifying our model, we provide also a minimal hidden variable description of the two-qubits system, relying on a single hidden variable. We discuss the main features and the implications of the model.

Addressing psychosocial risks in Estonian SMEs
Creators: name: Bakhtina, Krystyna
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2022

description: Although Estonian SMEs dominate the economy, they are still experiencing challenges when it comes to addressing psychosocial risks, such as the lack of the required knowledge of how such challenges can be tackled and lacking the resources to do that. The present paper aims to address the problem of psychosocial risks experienced by SMEs in Estonia. The article aims to look at the problem from a legal perspective by examining hard and soft law measures that are required for solving this problem. The paper proposes to apply a multifaceted approach to tackle the issue. It is suggested to have more elaborated laws, strengthen enforcement, and focus on the development of collective bargaining. Besides the legal tools, it is also necessary to continue working on awareness-raising and create initiatives to promote a healthy working environment.

description: Using the entire CLEO-c psi(3770) to DDbar event sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 818 pb^-1 and approximately 5.4 x 10^6 DDbar events, we measure the form factors for the decays D0 to rho- e+ nu_e and D+ to rho0 e+ nu_e for the first time and the branching fractions with improved precision. A four-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit determines the form factor ratios to be: V(0)/A_1(0) = 1.48 +- 0.15 +- 0.05 and A_2(0)/A_1(0)= 0.83 +- 0.11 +- 0.04. Assuming CKM unitarity, the known D meson lifetimes and our measured branching fractions we obtain the form factor normalizations A_1(0), A_2(0), and V(0). We also present a measurement of the branching fraction for D^+ to omega e^+ nu_e with improved precision.

D2.3_Cloud Services Procurement Roadmap For Public Research Organisations

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Procurement, Cloud Services, innovation, ICT

description: Computing in the cloud is providing new efficiencies in a wide range of sectors.  During its two-year pilot phase (2012-2014) the Helix Nebula Initiative (HNI) has shown that cloud services are suitable for scientific workloads performed by public research organisations who are now prepared to consider procuring cloud services on a significant scale. In spite of this, however:

	While technology service options continue to evolve, procurement processes and policies of these organisations have remained firmly rooted in historical practices that are no longer effective.

	In order for public research organisations of all sizes to take advantage of the best solutions that the market has to offer nowadays, a more flexible and agile procurement process must be created and implemented.

PICSE, a Coordination and Support Action, was set up to further our understanding of these two procurement-related findings in line with pillar three of the Digital Single Market Strategy. This Roadmap is a major product of the PICSE project. It provides a description of the landscape of cloud procurement in the European public research sector and documents existing challenges, barriers and trends. Based on world-wide procurement best practices it explains how cloud computing is disrupting the way IT resources are provisioned for research communities and provides a way of understanding how to address the HNI findings. In particular, recommendations for improving procurement of cloud services for public research organisations in Europe must address the fact that procurement practices are changing significantly.

This Roadmap for Cloud Service Procurement includes a significant Call for Action for the three major stakeholder groups who can be found at regional, national and European levels, and makes 20 recommendations for immediate action.
Nationalism, cognitive ability, and interpersonal relations

Subjects: subject: nationalism
subject: xenophobia
subject: interpersonal relations
subject: value systems
subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::330 Wirtschaft

description: Interpersonal relations are shaped by the judgements associated with the social cate- gories that individuals perceive in their social contacts. I develop a model of how those judgments form based on a theory of symbolic values. The model depicts the interac- tion between two values, one associated with an inherited ethnic trait ("nationality") and one with an endogenous achievement trait ("income"). Individuals with lower cognitive ability are predicted to invest more value on nationalism and to have hostile relations with immigrants. Multiple equilibria are possible and better schooling may eliminate equilibria with xenophobia. Econometric ndings based on data from three large surveys corroborate the predictions derived from the theoretical model.

description: We present the results of a cross-correlation of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalog (ERCSC) with the catalog of Herschel-ATLAS sources detected in the Phase 1 fields, covering 134.55 deg2. There are 28 ERCSC sources detected by Planck at 857 GHz in this area. As many as 16 of them are probably high Galactic latitude cirrus; 10 additional sources can be clearly identified as bright, low-z galaxies; one further source is resolved by Herschel as two relatively bright sources; and the last is resolved into an unusual condensation of low-flux, probably high-redshift point sources, around a strongly lensed Herschel-ATLAS source at z = 3.26. Our results demonstrate that the higher sensitivity and higher angular resolution H-ATLAS maps provide essential information for the interpretation of candidate sources extracted from Planck sub-mm maps.

description: The amendment to the German Trade and Crafts Code in 2004 offers a natural experiment to asses the causal effects of this reform on the probabilities of being self-employed and transition into and out of self-employment, using cross-sections (2002-2006) of German microcensus data. This study applies the difference-in-differences technique in logit models for four occupational groups. Easing the educational entry requirement has fostered self-employment significantly for less qualified craftsmen, almost doubling the entry probability, even as exit rates remained unaffected. Weaker effects occur for other occupational groups. These findings have implications for the design of regulations with educational requirements.
The Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence as Workplace Supervisors: Explaining and Understanding the New Surveillance to Employees Beyond Art. 8 ECHR

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are overexposing the employee under the employer scrutiny. Through a labour oriented approach to privacy and data protection, this contribution aims to detect principles of explainability and understanding of the new workplace surveillance under the ECHR. In fact, looking at the ECtHR’s jurisprudence it is possible to theorise that the Court’s margin of appreciation may be stricter in safeguarding employees’ privacy and essential labour rights when the surveillance measure interferes with individual and collective autonomy of the workforce.

description: This paper investigates the impact of regional technological relatedness on the emergence of recombinant novelty (i.e., new combinations of subclasses occurring for the first time) in French regions using patent data over the period 1990–2010. We find that relatedness favours incremental innovations that reuse already applied combinations, whereas increasing levels of relatedness reduce the likelihood of novelty. However, the impact is less negative when combined technologies are new, unrelated or not locally specialized because it facilitates learning and technological recombination. We also find that universities and large incumbents are less dependent on relatedness than small and novel players to create novelty.

description: Las desigualdades sociales han sido estudiadas usualmente desde una perspectiva nacional, tomando como criterio de análisis ante todo las desigualdades de ingresos, y desde una sola disciplina, como la economía o la sociología. Desde 2010 se constituyó una red de académicos con base en la FU Berlín que ha propuesto un cambio de perspectiva partiendo de la idea de la interdependencia: por una parte se constata que las desigualdades en América Latina están conectadas con dinámicas transregionales; por otra parte explora cómo las desigualdades producidas en América Latina generan también desigualdades en la dirección opuesta y a escala global. En este sentido, sugiere estudiar interdisciplinariamente las desigualdades desde un enfoque transregional, tomando criterios multidimensionales de análisis que superen el estricto foco en las desigualdades de ingresos. El curso presentará este enfoque y lo ilustrará con numerosos ejemplos empíricos.

description: Several aspects of the theory of the coexistence of phases and equilibrium forms are discussed. In section 1, the problem is studied from the point of view of thermodynamics. In section 2, the statistical mechanical theory is introduced. We consider, in particular, the description of the microscopic interface at low temperatures and the existence of a free energy per unit area (surface tension). In section 3, a proof is given of the microscopic validity of the Wulff construction in a simplified model of a two-dimensional interface. Finally, in section 4, the roughening transition and the formation of facets in an equilibrium crystal are studied. Appendices A and B concern, respectively, the first and second points of section 2, mentioned above.

description: When scale separation in space and time is poor, the alpha effect and turbulent diffusivity have to be replaced by integral kernels. Earlier work in computing these kernels using the test-field method is now generalized to the case in which both spatial and temporal scale separations are poor. The approximate form of the kernel is such that it can be treated in a straightforward manner by solving a partial differential equation for the mean electromotive force. The resulting mean-field equations are solved for oscillatory alpha-shear dynamos as well as alpha^2 dynamos in which alpha is antisymmetric about the equator, making this dynamo also oscillatory. In both cases, the critical values of the dynamo number is lowered by the fact that the dynamo is oscillatory.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αναλύεται η στενή σχέση μεταξύ του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος και των ειδικών ανακριτικών πράξεων, οριοθετείται η ανακριτική διείσδυση και διακρίνεται από συγγενείς έννοιες και γίνεται απαρίθμηση των νομοθετημάτων που συναντάται ο θεσμός στο ελληνικό δίκαιο. Περαιτέρω, αναπτύσσονται οι προϋποθέσεις που τίθενται για να είναι επιτρεπτή η διενέργειά της, τα ζητήματα συνταγματικότητας που ανακύπτουν, οι συνέπειες μίας παράνομης ανακριτικής διείσδυσης και η μεταχείριση του ισχυρισμού περί παγίδευσης σε επίπεδο ουσιαστικού και δικονομικού δικαίου. Τέλος, παρουσιάζονται κάποιες σημαντικές αποφάσεις του ΕΔΔΑ και αναδεικνύονται τα κριτήρια που θέτει σχετικά με την κατάφαση του ισχυρισμού περί παγίδευσης και προσβολής του δικαιώματος του κατηγορουμένου για δίκαιη δίκη και η μελέτη ολοκληρώνεται με τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπόνησης της.
description: The purpose of the present study, which is entitled " Issues of legality in the context of investigative interrogation" is to highlight and attempt to interpret the issues that arise during investigative interrogation, taking into account that investigative interrogation is a particularly controversial aspect of criminal law. This paper attempts to present the overall framework for the application of investigative interrogation and the consequences of overstepping the boundaries of covert action. More specifically, the close relationship between organized crime and special investigative procedures is analyzed, investigative interrogation is defined and distinguished from related concepts, and a list is made of the legislation in which the latter is found in Greek law. Moreover, the requirements for the permissibility of the interrogation, the issues of constitutionality that arise, the consequences of an unlawful interrogation and the treatment of the claim of entrapment in terms of substantive and procedural law are discussed. Finally, some important judgments of the ECtHR are presented and the criteria set by the ECtHR regarding confirmation of the claim of entrapment and violation of the accused's right to a fair trial are highlighted. The study is completed with the conclusions that emerged during its preparation.

description: Health-related quality of life assessment is important in the clinical evaluation of patients with metastatic disease that may offer useful information in understanding the clinical effectiveness of a treatment. To assess if a set of explicative variables impacts on the health-related quality of life, regression models are routinely adopted. However, the interest of researchers may be focussed on modelling other parts (e.g. quantiles) of this conditional distribution. In this paper we present an approach based on M-quantile regression to achieve this goal. We applied the proposed methodology to a prospective, randomized, multi-centre clinical trial. In order to take into account the hierarchical nature of the data we extended the M-quantile regression model to a three-level random effects specification and estimated it by maximum likelihood.

description: In extended Higgs sectors, heavy Higgs bosons can decay via cascades to a light Higgs boson plus $W$ and $Z$ bosons. We study signals of such sectors at the Tevatron and LHC that result from resonant production of a heavy $H^0$ followed by the decay $H^0 \to H^\pm W^\mp$ with $H^+ \to W^+ h^0 \to W^+ b\bar{b}$ or $H^+ \to t\bar{b} \to W^+ b\bar{b}$. The final states have the same particle content as that of $t\bar{t}$ production, but with a resonant structure that can be used to distinguish signal events from background events. We propose analysis techniques and estimate the experimental sensitivity of the Tevatron and LHC experiments to these signals.

description: As the mid-IR luminosity represents a good isotropic proxy of the AGN power, a low X-ray to mid-IR luminosity ratio is often claimed to be a reliable indicator for selecting Compton-thick (CT) AGN. We assess the efficiency of this diagnostic by examining the 12mu IRAS AGN sample for which high signal-to-noise XMM observations have been recently become available. We find that the vast majority (10/11) of the AGN that have been classified as CT on the basis the X-ray spectroscopy by Brightman & Nandra present a low Lx/L6 luminosity ratio, i.e. lower than a few percent of the average AGN ratio which is typical of reflection-dominated CT sources. At low Lx/L6 ratios we also find a comparable number of AGN, most of which are heavily absorbed but not CT. This implies that although most Compton-thick AGN present low Lx/L6 ratios, at least in the local, Universe, the opposite is not necessarily true. Next, we extend our analysis to higher redshifts. We perform the same analysis in the CDFS where excellent quality chandra (4 Ms) and xmm (3 Ms) X-ray spectra are available. We derive accurate X-ray luminosities for chandra sources using X-ray spectral fits, as well as 6mu luminosities from SED fits. We find 8 AGN with low Lx/L6 ratios in total, after excluding one source where the 6mu emission primarily comes from star-formation. One of these sources has been already demonstrated to host a CT nucleus, while for another one at a redshift of z=1.22 we argue it is most likely CT on the basis of its combined chandra and xmm spectrum. We find a large number of non CT contaminant with low Lx/L6 ratios. The above suggest that a low Lx/L6 ratio alone cannot ascertain the presence of a CT AGN, albeit the majority of low Lx/L6 AGN are heavily obscured. The two most reliable CT AGN in the high redshift Universe have high Lx/L6 ratios, showing that this method cannot provide complete CT AGN samples.

description: "We must accept to live as African – that is the only way to live free and dignified", said the late Thomas Sankara in his famous 1987 speech at the Organization of African Unity. "Live as African", beyond summarizing Sankara's political and ethical vision, draws an agenda for economic liberation articulated around the ideal of self-sufficiency understood both as freedom from external domination and as capacity to self-determination through reliance first and foremost on one’s own resources. In this article, I argue that this agenda is the only one sustainable both for African peoples and for the Planet once it is realized that peoples from the periphery as a whole will never be able to achieve the same consumption/waste levels as peoples in the center, as global South thinkers Celso Furtado and Samir Amin demonstrated some decades ago. Since then, a growing literature has shown why the Western development “model”, due to its ecological exceptionalism, is simply not reproducible elsewhere and why the promise of economic catch-up is illusory. Building on these findings and on the importance and implications of monetary sovereignty, I will elaborate on the principles of a Sankara-inspired economic model that could deliver a free and dignified life to all.

description: Climate protection should use environmental policy instruments that raise revenues, which can be used, for instance, to cut labour taxes to alleviate unemployment in economies suffering from high and persistent unemployment. This paper elaborates the possibilities of an employment dividend of climate policies and shows the potential importance of such a second dividend for a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of climate policy. It is argued that national attempts to reap such a double dividend may be bound to fail if resource suppliers can respond in a way that leads to a large-scale international reallocation of environmental rents. Only a internationally coordinated uniform base tax on CO2 that complements already existing emission trading systems could keep revenues from climate policy in those countries bearing the cost of fighting global warming and thus leave them with the option on a second dividend.

description: We report on observations of the Crab pulsar with the MAGIC telescopes. Our data were taken in both monoscopic (> 25GeV) and stereoscopic (> 50GeV) observation modes. Two peaks were detected with both modes and phase-resolved energy spectra were calculated. By comparing with Fermi- LAT measurements, we find that the energy spectrum of the Crab pulsar does not follow a power law with an exponential cutoff, but has an additional hard component, extending up to at least 400 GeV. This suggests that the emission above 25 GeV is not dominated by curvature radiation, as suggested in the standard scenarios of the OG and SG models.

description: Dieser Beitrag schildert die Entwicklung der relativen Bezahlung der Hochqualifizierten in Staat und Privatwirtschaft in Westdeutschland seit 1977. Es zeigt sich, dass seit ca. 1987 die relative Bezahlung der Hochqualifizierten im öffentlichen Dienst im Vergleich zur Privatwirtschaft massiv zurückgegangen ist: Gegenüber vergleichbaren Stellen in der Privatwirtschaft beträgt der relative Rückgang zwischen 25 % und 55 %. Dieser beträchtliche Verlust an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit seitens des öffentlichen Dienstes suggeriert, dass in dieser Zeit eine bedeutsame Verschiebung bei der Befriedigung von Bedürfnissen stattgefunden hat: von sozialen hin zu privaten Bedürfnissen.

description: Understanding how galaxies evolve and assemble their mass across cosmic time is still a fundamental unsolved issue. To get insight into the various processes of galaxy mass assembly, the Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS (MASSIV) aims at probing the kinematical and chemical properties of a significant and representative sample of high-redshift (0.9 < z < 1.8) star-forming galaxies. This paper presents the selection function, the observing strategy and the global properties of the MASSIV sample. This sample contains 84 star-forming galaxies, selected from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) and observed with the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. We present the redshift distribution, and derive the stellar masses and SED-based star formation rates (SFR). Integrated metallicities and the presence of type-2 AGNs are investigated using composite 1D spectra built from VIMOS and SINFONI observations. The MASSIV selection function, based on star formation criteria ([OII] emission-line strength up to z~1.5 and colors/UV absorption lines at higher redshifts), provides a good representation of "normal" star-forming galaxies with SED-based SFRs between 5 and 400 Msun/yr in the stellar mass regime 10^9 - 10^11 Msun. Analysis of typical emission-line ratios performed on composite spectra reveals that the contamination by type-2 AGNs is very low and that the integrated metallicity of the galaxies follows the well-known mass-metallicity relation. The MASSIV sample has been built upon a simple selection function, fully representative of the star-forming galaxy population at 0.9 < z < 1.8 for SFR > 5 Msun/yr. Together with the size of the sample, the spatially-resolved SINFONI data therefore enables us to discuss global, volume averaged, galaxy kinematic and chemical properties all accross the mass and SFR range of the survey to derive robust conclusions on galaxy mass assembly over cosmological timescales.
