This paper explores the optimal risk sharing arrangement between generations in an overlapping generations model with endogenous growth. We allow for nonseparable preferences, paying particular attention to the risk aversion of the old as well as overall “life-cycle” risk aversion. We provide a fairly tractable model, which can serve as a starting point to explore these issues in models with a ...

A concept for the construction of learning platforms is being developed in this thesis. Based on a theoretical approach, how interactive media can support teaching and learning processes from a technological point of view, media functions are classified into three levels. This classification is the foundation on which learning platforms can not only be evaluated but also designed. In a second s...

I compare the welfare effects of professional licensing and certification in Shapiro’s (1986) moral hazard model of services. Shapiro (1986) shows that licensing can dominate certification, assuming that certification reveals a provider’s human capital investment exactly. This occurs if certification leads to excessive investment in human capital as a signaling device. I consider an alternative...

additional members of the examination board. I would like to thank my " co-advisor " Berthold Vöcking for a very valuable collaboration. It was a lot of fun to master several problems in theoretical computer science and other major spheres of life with Berthold, such as solving a traveling salesperson problem given by the touristic highlights in California and changing several car tires with un...

Women in Cognitive Science (WICS) has a history of conducting panels at yearly meetings of several professional societies. Their goal is to increase attention to the situation of women cognitive scientists, to better understand the reasons for existing problems of under representation in key positions, and to provide a forum for professional development that encourages both junior and senior sc...
