The study was completed in March 2018 and accepted as doctoral thesis by the Department of Economics at the University of Munich. It consists of four distinct empirical analyses – two on the determinants of education and two on the determinants of occupational choice. For both choices, individual and institutional determinants are investigated. The econo- metric analyses are based on panel data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), historical census data of the Statistical Oice of the German Empire, historical maps and studies from Sering 1897, Verein für Socialpolitik 1883, Grossherzogliches Ministerium des Inneren 1883, Miaskowski 1882-1884, Fick 1895, and Kra 1930 which are combined with modern data from the German Statistical Oice and the BBSR.

Industry 4.0 is the topic of the day. The networked factory where machines and workpieces permanently exchange information is now reality. Many industrial companies are working with networked production sites. However, when we produce in networks, when data is exchanged across borders together with freight and goods, when work takes place in mobile environments, we also have to ask how these processes can be made secure and how the related data fows can be suffciently protected. Furthermore, we must be able to rely on the identity of the people, objects and processes involved, i.e. we must be able to trust them. In a nutshell, what we need is authentic, secure and binding communication. We still have work to do here.

The Disintegration of Organised Capitalism: German Corporate Governance in the 1990S

Page numbers of the orginal text are marked with (here starts p. xxx)) In comparative perspective the consensus-oriented political system of Germany is not susceptible to radical policy shifts. Constancy and continuity are key features of the German economic system as well, which in the past was regarded as a role model for other nations.1 Institutional stability may be attributed to high coherence of the institutional configuration.2 But today, in the face of an internationalised and thus more competitive world economy and the additional economic problems related to German unification, institutional stability is more often interpreted as a burden than as an advantage. In 1997 the expression Reformstau (reform jam) was voted ‘word of the year’, due to its frequent use in political debate. Reforms seemed to be impossible although most of the citizens perceived them as necessary. Nevertheless, there are fields of substantial change which do not fit the image of change in Germany being gradual at best. We will discuss such an exception to the rule. The sphere of corporate governance turned out to be highly dynamic in Germany, undergoing rapid changes towards market orientation in the 1990s after several decades of institutional stability. How was this possible? Corporate governance in the ‘organised’ German economy was characterised by (a) structures of company control that
