Zum Erfordernis eines Teilurteils trotz "Außerstreitstellung" des Mietzinsrückstandes

Bei Verbindung von Mietzins- und R?umungsbegehren ist ein Teilurteil auch dann zwingend zu erlassen, wenn zwar die H?he des qualifizierten Mietzinsrückstandes im darauf gestützten R?umungsprozess nicht strittig ist, aber der Mieter behauptet, er sei nach § 1096 ABGB von der Mietzinszahlung ganz oder teilweise befreit; dies gilt auch bei Au?erstreitstellung des Rückstandes der H?he nach. Das Teilurteil geht bei der Kombination von Mietzinsund R?umungsklage dem Rückstandsbeschluss zwingend vor.     

Randomized experiments in criminology: What have we learned in the last two decades?

This paper aims to review randomized experiments in criminology with offending outcomes and reasonably large numbers that were published between 1982 and 2004. A total of 83 experiments are summarized, compared with only 35 published between 1957 and 1981: 12 on policing, 13 on prevention, 14 on corrections, 22 on courts, and 22 on community interventions. Randomized experiments are still relatively uncommon, but there have been more large-scale multi-site experiments and replication programs. There have also been several experiments in which 100 or more places were randomly assigned. Relatively few experiments (only 10 out of 83) were conducted outside the United States. Meta-analyses suggest that prevention methods, correctional therapy, batterer programs, drug courts, juvenile restitution and deterrent policing were effective in reducing offending, while Scared Straight and boot camp programs caused a significant increase in offending.     

Les fonds renouvelables comme outils de gestion dans le secteur public

Sommaire: : Les méthodes de gestion du secteur privé peuvent-elles s'appliquer au secteur public? Certainement pas intégralement, un obstacle majeur tient au systéme budgétaire des gouvernements. Ce systéme en effet ne permet pas à un administrateur de relier les coûts d'une activitéà une forme quelconque de revenus qui y serait associée et de régulariser les dépenses en conséquence. La formule du Fonds renouvelable fait exception. Tout en demeurant intéagré au cadre financier gouvernemental le Fonds renouvelable finance certaines activités à même les revenus qu'elles générent plutôt que par les sources fiscales usuelles. La formule est séduisante mais ne peut s'appliquer avec profit qu'á certaines conditions. Une grille d'analyse en douze points permet de juger de 1'opportunité d'implanter un Fonds renouvelable. Abstract: Can the management methods of the private sector be applied to the public sector? Certainly not as a whole, because a major obstacle is created by the budgetary system of governments. Indeed, this system prevents an administrator from linking the costs of an activity to some form of revenues which would be related to it and from controlling expenses accordingly. The renewable fund formula is an exception. While remaining part of die governmental budgetary framework, the renewable funds finance some activities from the very revenues they generate rather than through the usual fiscal sources. The formula is attractive but can only be applied sucessfully on certain conditions. A twelve-point analysis grid shows whether it is appropriate to set up a renewable fund. Combien de fois a-t-on entendu des cadres du secteur privé reprocher à leurs collégues du secteur public leur manque de rigueur financeére? Bien à l'abri dans leur sécurité d'emploi, coupés des dures réalités du marché, ceux-ci n'auraient qu'un objectif: dépenser la totalité de leur budget avant la fin de l'exercice ou, mieux encore, dépasser le budget autorisé pour en justifier la croissance l'année suivante.     

Analyzing linked systems of negotiations

This article presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the structure and dynamics of what the authors call linked systems of negotiations. Even such seemingly straightforward transactions as the purchase of a family car tend to involve linked negotiations. The framework highlights the importance of internegotiation processes in shaping Zones of Possible Agreement, and proposes a typology of linkage. By mapping out and reengineering linked systems, negotiators can enhance their ability to shape the structure within which their negotiations take place.     

Stammwähler und die opportunistische Wahl parteipolitischer Programme

This article explains political radicalism by the number of voters who are biased towards a party. With little voters biased in favor of a party, this party has to rely more heavily on its programmatic distance to other parties. Because large parties – i.e.: parties with a high number of biased voters – gain votes when they move to the center of the political spectrum, parties with a lower number of voters that are biased in their favor are forced to the edges of the policy space. We draw on a computational model of political competition between four parties in a two‐dimensional policy space to investigate this relationship. We use panel corrected OLS estimates to analyze the data generated by the computer simulation. Our results substantiate the hypothesis of a negative relationship between the number of biased voters and the inclination of a party to adopt a more extreme policy stance.
