One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:

The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

OUT NOW: "Kommunale Daseinsvorsorge: Begriffe, Konzepte und Streitfragen": doi.org/10.1007/s413...

Kommunale Daseinsvorsorge: Begriffe, Konzepte und Streitfragen - Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft

In politics, public administration, and academia, the German term “Daseinsvorsorge” (public services) is generally understood to mean that the state ensures that citizens have access to certain goods and services that are necessary for human existence. After some conceptual clarification, this article focuses on municipal public services in Germany and shows that there is considerable controversy as to which goods and services (and in what quantity and quality) are necessary for the state to provide. Moreover, there is controversy regarding the extent to which private actors should be involved in the production and financing of public services. It turns out that the concept of Daseinsvorsorge, which at first glance seems uncontroversial, conceals a number of contentious issues that are the subject of an ongoing political and social negotiation process.

They face huge risks, especially during economic crises, when dictators choose to financially extort or #purge their business allies. And yet, despite their power to disrupt, business elites rarely switch sides.

My research shows why.

Sozialwissenschaftler Claus Offe gestorben

Claus Offe prägte die Sozialwissenschaften mit scharfsinnigen Analysen und gesellschaftskritischen Perspektiven. Als Grenzgänger zwischen Soziologie und Politologie bleibt sein Werk wegweisend.

Collusion doesn't just happen in smoke-filled rooms. It can be out in the open in earnings calls.

New research uses NLP on 300k+ transcripts to spot the language that firms use to coordinate publicly. Regulators can use this tool to detect anticompetitive behavior.
