• 04-23 This paper identifies the decreasing heterogeneity in labor as one of the driving forces of secular trade liberalization. A decrease in the sector-specificity of human capital gives rise to a decline of protectionist demands since the workers’ stakes in trade policy resemble more and more the social welfare consequences of trade policy. Since the process of labor homogenization appears to be irreversible we arrive at the conclusion that protectionist trade polices will soon become an obsolescent model

• 03-03 Spin-offs of Entrepreneurial Firms : an O-Ring Approach The O-Ring theory provides a framework to analyse the emergence of firms organized as partnerships. The owner-managers of such entrepreneurial firms can benefit from ability matching within their production teams. However, they must also bear the project risk. Risk-aversion then induces a second-best solution. At the same time, integrated firms managed on behalf of risk-neutral residual-claimants face information and/or enforcement problems. Hence, they cannot organize ability-matched teams. It is shown that there exists an equilibrium such that groups of individuals sharing a superior ability level will found entrepreneurial firms. Low-quality individuals will be employed by managed firms which hire randomly. The paper constitutes a significantly revised version of the study formerly entitled "The Emergence of a New Economy: An O-Ring Approach", Department of Economics, University of Konstanz, Discussion Paper Series I - 314
