Understanding how institutional incentives and mechanisms for assigning recognition shape access to a permanent job is important. This study, based on data from questionnaire survey responses and publications of 1,257 university science, biomedical and engineering faculty in Spain, attempts to understand the timing of getting a permanent position and the relevant factors that account for this t...

Technology adoption has been traditionally examined at workplaces, and relatively few studies have been conducted to investigate how technologies are adopted in households. This paper develops the concept of technological embeddedness by extending the social embeddeddness framework of economic actions. It further proposes a new research model for household computer adoption in which technologic...

Stream-deposited sediment is one of the major stressors affecting stream biota. Several methods exist to quantify stream sediment embeddedness, but they are relatively qualitative and operationally defined. The authors developed a short-term in situ embeddedness chamber method to measure aquatic insect recruitment and associated sediment accumulation in a more quantitative, better replicated ma...

Over the last two decades, youth unemployment emerged as one of the major problems of many contemporary European societies. As educational achievement is regularly argued to prevent labour market exclusion, this paper explores the educational stratification of unemployment in the early labour market career and its institutional embeddedness in specific education and employment systems. For the ...

Previous literature has shown that interorganizational networks tend to be stable, but evidence of that stability stems from analysis showing that existing network structure reinforces itself through the formation of new ties. However, discontinuation of existing ties also affects the degree of network stability. If the same factors that lead to tie replication also lead to tie dissolution, the...

In this paper we model the formation of innovation networks as they emerge from bilateral actions. The effectiveness of a bilateral collaboration is determined by cognitive, relational and structural embeddedness. Innovation results from the recombination of knowledge held by the partners to the collaboration, and the extent to which agents’ knowledge complement each others is an issue of cogni...

We give some sufficient conditions for a predicate P in a complete theory T to be “stably embedded”. Let P be P with its “induced ∅definable structure”. The conditions are that P (or rather its theory) is “rosy”, P has NIP in T and that P is stably 1-embedded in T . This generalizes a recent result of Hasson and Onshuus [6] which deals with the case where P is o-minimal in T . Our proofs make u...
