Not Just for the Money,
but What For?

An Experimental and Empirical Analysis of Immaterial, Tangible and Monetary Incentives

Personalwirtschaft

One of the great challenges in personnel economics is how to align employee’s best interest to that of the employer. The literature on incentive theory has up to now focused mostly on monetary incentives. Indeed, many facts speak in their favor. Money is storable, fungible, easily tradable, and mainly independent of the recipient’s preference because of its option value. But recent empirical findings suggest that monetary incentives, like piece rates, can backfire. The…

Toponyms in Cartography

Proceedings of the Toponymic Sessions at the 25th International Cartographic Conference, Paris, 3–8 July 2011

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

The ICA 25th International Cartographic Conference in Paris in July 2011 is special from a toponymical point of view because it marks the first meeting of the joint ICA-IGU Commission on Toponymy.

The subject of toponymy is now not only dealt within an onomastical context at the biannual ICOS meetings, and within an…

The Entry into Jerusalem According to the Gospel of Luke

A Critical and Historical Re-Examination

THEOS – Studienreihe Theologische Forschungsergebnisse

The account of the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as narrated in the third Gospel (Luke 19,28-40) has its particular Lukan coloration that deserves to be explored.

Many authors have in the past years made considerable contributions in this area, but most of these studies have been made mainly in relation to all the four evangelists. Important Lukan themes therefore still call for attention regarding the account:
