Resume: Forestillingen om det store velordnede univers, hvor kosmos regerer over kaos, og hvor alting flyder fra nogle få overordnede principper - helst eet, muligvis to - udøver stadig en mægtig fascination på menneskesindet. Med rette, naturligvis, selvom vi i det postmoderne mellemrum et øjeblik kunne komme i tvivl. Få institutioner er i lige så høj grad som biblioteker afhængige af orden og kontrol. Selve bibliotekets grundfunktion kræver minutiøs orden. En bog, der er fejlplaceret i systemet, er en tabt bog, det ved vi alle. Netop bibliotekernes historiske kompetence med henblik på at ordne informationsressourcer på måder, der gør dem lettilgængelige for brugerne, opfattes af mange som bibliotekernes billet til den kommende informationsorden. Ordning og orden med deres korrelater af kontrol og planlægning er derfor ikke tilfældige biprodukter af bibliotekernes virksomhed, men hører til selve deres væsen. Det Kongelige Bibliotek er et smukt eksempel. Tilbage til sin oprindelse var bibliotekets funktion helt afhængig af et opstillingsystem, der var forståeligt for datidens mennesker, og som blev kodificeret af Moldenhawer i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet med udgangspunkt i videnssystemet, således om det dengang tog sig ud ved universitetet i Göttingen. Behovet for en enstrenget intellektuel struktur, der kan bruges som grundplan for den fysiske opstilling af bøger er blevet mindre vigtig i edb-alderen, men den er stadig vigtig i biblioteker med åbne samlinger, og det er selvfølgelig under alle omstændigheder stadig afgørende, at bøgerne faktisk står hvor de skal.

Resume: In security, as in other areas, the emergence of transnational private organizations with a central role in governance poses profound challenges to established conceptions of international politics and democracy. This paper discusses one side of this challenge by looking at accountability of private security companies (PSCs). PSCs have become authorities in their own right in the security sphere. This has raised the question of their accountability and also resulted in considerable efforts to improve the accountability of the firms. This paper looks at why these efforts bear so little fruit. It begins by pointing to the tension involved in any effort to hold an authority (private or public) accountable, namely the tension between the centrality of acceptance for authority and accountability measures that necessarily involve contestation. It then proceeds to analyse this tension in the case of PSCs. The paper argues that PSCs’ status as experts on risk and entrepreneurs of security mobilizes a favourable bias, making contestation less likely. The difficulty of seeing and/or admitting that PSCs are independent actors in turn makes contestation of their activities seem ill-directed and unnecessary. The point made in this paper that this, rather than sheer complexity or hidden political agendas, is key for understanding the present rather puzzling lack of (democratic) accountability of PSCs and its likely continuation.

Lage Hansen, Jakob (København, 2002)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: It is argued that specificity is inadequate to explain hold-up, as the definition is imprecise as to which party incurs a loss if an asset is redeployed. If both parties to a transaction incur a loss when an asset is redeployed, neither party can credibly hold up the other party. Also the concept does not address expectations. It is the expected loss (not the actual loss) of parties that will drive attempts at hold-up. Therefore focusing on specificity when talking hold-up can be misleading. As a consequence the concept of importance is introduced. The importance of an asset to a firm is the expected loss to the firm if access to the asset is lost. Various determinants of importance are discussed by using a formal framework. Implications are forwarded, and it is argued that the relative importance of the parties has to change for hold-up to occur. One-sided specific investments inherently lead to mutual importance, which mitigates hold-up. Situations without specificity can lead to hold-up if expectations are asymmetric. Lastly, hold-up does not imply a hold-up problem. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6883 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: We consider the effects of income redistribution when people can migrate from one country to another, and when land within each country is heterogeneous. Taxes related to income can then affect property values, and can induce migration, which further affects property values. We show that under these conditions a utilitarian government should never equalize after-tax incomes. If migration is impossible, it may even transfer income from the poor to the rich, reducing the rents earned by absentee landlords. The redistributive tax on the rich may be higher or lower when the rich can migrate than when they cannot. A Rawlsian government in the absence of mobility will equalize after-tax incomes. Under mobility, Rawlsian governments cut their taxes if and only if the relative pre-tax income of the poor is sufficiently low. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7689 Filer i denne post: 1

Brian Loasby and the Theory of the FirmJ. Foss, Nicolai (København, 1997)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The paper begins by providing a brief overview and discussion of the modern economics of organization, concentrating in particular on the work of incomplete contract theorists. I then turn to a discussion of Loasby’s view of the firm and incomplete contracts. The point here is that while Loasby begins from the same recognition as modern incomplete theorists, that contractual incompleteness is a necessary component of a theory of the firm, the causes and consequences of contractual incompleteness are widely different. Thus, Loasby sees incompleteness as a distinct virtue because it allows for organizational learning, whereas incompleteness in the modern economics of organization is seen as a distinct problem because it opens the door to incentive conflicts. I end by speculating on how Loasby’s non-mainstream ideas on economic organization may be related to some relatively mainstream ideas about alternative gameforms and real options.

Resume: A method is presented for incremental retraining of an SMT system, in which a local phrase table is created and incrementally updated as a file is translated and post-edited. It is shown that translation data from within the same file has higher value than other domain-specific data. In two technical domains, within-file data increases BLEU score by several full points. Furthermore, a strong recency effect is documented; nearby data within the file has greater value than more distant data. It is also shown that the value of translation data is strongly correlated with a metric defined over new occurrences of ngrams. Finally, it is argued that the incremental re-training prototype could serve as the basis for a practical system which could be interactively updated in real time in a post-editing setting. Based on the results here, such an interactive system has the potential to dramatically improve translation quality. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8272 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: This project is in line with the Scandinavian approach to the welfare state and the active, public role for stimulating and facilitating innovation (Bason, 2010). Researching this pilot effort to build an incubator for public innovation is thus not only a study of how it could be done, but also an inquiry into the role of public support for an innovative public sector (cf. Mazzucato, 2014; Ansell and Torfing, 2014; Osborne and Brown, 2013). Current societal challenges are creating pressure for the public sector to increase effectiveness and deliver better services. Many agree that the relationship between people and the public sector in general and public services in particular should be radically reshaped (Manzini and Staszowski, 2013). There has been a recent move away from new public management based approaches to public innovation (Bason, 2010). Generally this means a move towards a more collaborative (Ansell and Torfing, 2014) and symbiotic process (Mazzucato, 2014). Hartley (2013) shows there are both great overlaps between public and private innovation, and distinct differences. Notably, incentive to learn from others is less clear in the public sector where new knowledge is not an obvious driver of competitive capacity. In conclusion, research also points to the need to develop more local-specific models and approaches to innovation-support in public organisations. Beyond the triple-helix model of collaboration (Etzkowits and Leydesdorff, 2000) public innovation needs support from a local organisation that can provide the solution to the incentive problem, and feed innovation processes with organisational support. Whereas incubators have provided this support for business start-ups, developing an incubator-model for public innovation is new and timely.

Resume: The present paper studies the growth and efficiency consequences of tax-favored individual retirement accounts in a general equilibrium overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic lifespan and labor income uncertainty. We distinguish between economies with rational and with hyperbolic consumers and compare the consequences of mandatory and voluntary retirement plans with and without annuitized benefits. While a full taxation of capital income yields the highest efficiency gains in the rational consumer model, annuitization and hyperbolic discounting substantially improve the economic efficiency of IRAs. We also show that annuitization alters the intergenerational welfare consequences of the reform substantially, since it reduces accidental bequests. Finally, even if mandatory saving programs have a clear cost advantage, they are only recommendable if consumers are myopic. individual retirement accounts, annuities, stochastic general equilibrium, hyperbolic consumers URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7710 Filer i denne post: 1

En case-samlingHelbo, Martin; Jakobsen, Jesper; Gammelgaard, Britta (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Dette working paper er en samling af case beskrivelser angående indkøbspraksisser i Danmark. Case-dataene er indsamlede i efteråret 2003 og foråret 2004. Alle beskrivelser er validerede af de deltagende virksomheder. I den oprindelige undersøgelse var 10 virksomheder repræsenterede, men én af case-virksomhederne valgte desværre at trække sig ud af undersøgelsen på grund af meget store ændringer i virksomhedens grundlag. Dette ændrer dog ikke det samlede billede af, at indkøbspraksisserne i virksomhederne er i opbrud. Indkøbet bliver i stadig stigende grad opfattet som en vigtig brik til strømlining af forsyningskæden "upstream" mod råvareleverandørerne. En egentlig case-analyse vil kunne findes i kommende publikationer af de tre forfattere. Case beskrivelserne er en vigtig del af datagrundlaget i projektet "Indkøbspraksisser i et SCMperspektiv", der er finansieret af Center for Underleverandører i Herning. Dataene er hovedsagelig tilvejebragt via interviews med indkøbsansvarlige i de pågældende case-virksomheder. I den forbindelse vil vi gerne rette en stor tak til de personer og virksomheder, der velvilligt har stillet sig til rådighed med indsigt i de processer, der strukturerer dagens indkøb. Når vi har valgt at udgive beskrivelserne i et working paper og ikke blot lade dem samle støv i en skuffe som datagrundlag for videnskabelige publikationer, er det fordi, vi håber, at beskrivelserne kan inspirere andre end os selv, eksempelvis virksomheder og nuværende og kommende studerende med interesse i indkøbspraksisser.

Resume: Udgangspunktet for dette working paper vil være en række teoriområder, som er valgt ud fra den opfattelse, at de er centrale repræsentanter for udviklingen indenfor det erhvervsøkonomiske genstandsområde – med såvel aktuel som potentiel værdi for overvejelser og beslutninger vedrørende indtrængning på internationale markeder. Udviklingen i de udvalgte teoriområder vil have form af en kronologisk redegørelse, hvor der fokuseres på deres forudsætninger, indhold og anvendelse samt potentielle relevans og betydning for indtrængningsproblematikken. Dette giver mulighed for at arbejde med teorierne på metaplan samtidigt med, at forskningen kan vurderes i forhold til K.B. Madsens almene metateori, Karl Poppers falsifikationsprincip, Imre Lakatos’ forskningsprogrammer samt Thomas Kuhns paradigme-begreb. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6661 Filer i denne post: 1
