Telemedizin – Angebote,Chancen und Kosteneffektivität

Digitalisation of the health care system proceeds. Therefore it is to be expected that telemedicine applications will also be introduced into health care. Currently, the number of telemedicine applications in Germany is low and it is also scarce in comparison to foreign countries. This is striking because it is usually supposed that telemedicine applications have got a great potential to improve health care and reduce expenditures. Hence, this publication discusses offers, chances and the cost-effectiveness of telemedicine.     

False Discoveries und Fehlinterpretationen wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse

High-quality science communication to the public depends to a large extent on the way research findings are translated into comprehensible language and common speech. In this communicative process, a reasonable evaluation of the trustworthiness of empirical findings, based on an adequate interpretation of statistical analyses, is absolutely crucial. This paper’s authors argue that the credibility of science is jeopardised by two compromising developments within science itself: on the one hand, an inflation of ostensible empirical evidence related to misuses and misinterpretations of the concept of statistical significance, and, on the other, a sensationalist overvaluation of the results of single studies instead of an adequate representation of the available body of evidence in a given scientific field.     

The Justice Motive in East Asia’s Territorial Disputes

Many of the most active and most dangerous security challenges in the Asia-Pacific region are generally seen to involve a complex amalgam of material and ideational conflicts. There is surprisingly little consideration, however, of the role of the justice motive. This article explores the role of the justice motive in the context of three specific maritime and territorial disputes: Dokdo/Takeshima, the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, and the South China Sea. What explains its intensity? How does it affect political salience, tractability, and danger of conflict? What are the available mechanisms and prospects for resolving justice conflicts?     

“暴力征地”现象的产权经济学解释

文章认为国内出现的大量的"暴力征地"现象是由两个原因造成的:一个是中国土地产权的残缺,尤其是土地使用权和转让权的限制,另一个是交易费用,包括量度费用和信息费用,在此基础上推出的两个含义都得到了事实的验证。     

Participating Insurance Contracts and the Rothschild-Stiglitz Equilibrium Puzzle

We extend the Rothschild-Stiglitz (RS) insurance market model with adverse selection by allowing insurers to offer either non-participating or participating policies, that is, insurance contracts with policy dividends or supplementary calls for premium. It is shown that an equilibrium always exists in such a setting. Participating policies act as an implicit threat that dissuades deviant insurers who aim to attract low-risk individuals only. The model predicts that the mutual corporate form should be prevalent in insurance markets where second-best Pareto efficiency requires cross-subsidisation between risk types.     

无边界职业生涯时代不同代际员工组织承诺的影响因素

基于无边界职业生涯的理论视角,采用问卷调查法,考察了影响新生代员工和传统代员工组织承诺的关键性因素,并通过优势分析确定其相对权重.结果表明:(1)在无边界职业生涯时代,企业员工具有较高的无边界心智模式和适度的组织流动性偏好,新生代员工的无边界心智模式显著高于传统代员工,但组织流动性偏好在不同代际之间的差异不显著.(2)组织流动性偏好显著地负向预测组织承诺,无边界心智模式对组织承诺的预测作用均不显著,组织发展性支持和感知的职业机会显著地正向预测组织承诺.(3)组织承诺影响因素的相对重要性存在代际差异,组织中的职业机会是影响新生代员工组织承诺的最重要因素,组织的发展性支持是影响传统代员工组织承诺的最重要因素.
