50 Jahre Keltenmuseum Hallein. Fundort – Forschung – Vermittlung. Archaeologia Austriaca|Archaeologia Austriaca Band 105/2021 Band 105/2021|
No full textIm Jahr 2020 feierte das Keltenmuseum Hallein sein 50-jähriges Jubiläum. Als eines der bedeutendsten archäologischen Fundortmuseen Europas zeigt es die spektakulären Funde der Salzmetropole auf dem Dürrnberg, die im Netzwerk der europäischen Eisenzeit als wirtschaftliche Drehscheibe und kultureller Impulsgeber diente. Die bis zu 2500 Jahre alten Relikte aus Siedlungen, Gräbern und Salzbergwerken stehen seit jeher im Fokus der „Archäologie der Kelten“ und sind programmatischer Namensgeber des 1970 eröffneten Museums. Seine Wurzeln gehen indes bis in die Tage des ersten bildungsbürgerlichen Engagements für Lokalgeschichte und Archäologie zurück. Als Halleiner Heimatmuseum und erstes Museum im Land Salzburg in den 1830er-Jahren etabliert, war die Institution bis in das 20. Jh. vor allem der jüngeren Geschichte der Salinenstadt verpflichtet und entwickelte sich erst seit den 1950er-Jahren zum archäologischen Museums- und Forschungszentrum, das heute inoffiziell als Salzburger Zentralmuseum für Urgeschichte firmiert. Als Forschungsinstitution in der Tradition des Österreichischen Forschungszentrums Dürrnberg verfolgt die mit dem Museum assoziierte Dürrnbergforschung internationale und interdisziplinäre wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitungsprojekte und Forschungsinitiativen in der Gräber- und Siedlungsarchäologie sowie der Archäometrie
Coping with Inefficiencies in a New Economic Geography Model
No full textThis article introduces a social planner version of a model central to the New Economic Geography for explicitly answering whether the symmetric equilibrium outcome of the decentralized market economy is socially desirable. We find that savings incentives are too weak, resulting in an inefficiently low capital stock and therefore an inadequate number of product varieties. The optimal subsidy and taxation scheme to remedy these distortions resulting from the monopolistic competition structure is shown to be a sales subsidy financed by a lump-sum tax that results in marginal cost pricing. Interestingly, implementing this optimal policy might actually destroy the stability of the symmetric equilibrium and result in unintended agglomeration processes
The dediticii in P.Giss. 40 I 7–9. Akten der Gesellschaft für Griechische und Hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte|(28) Symposion 2019 Akten der Gesellschaft für griechische und hellenistische Rechtsgeschichte Band 28|
No full textThe paper holds that the dediticii ([δε]δειτίκιοι) mentioned in the famousConstitutio Antoninina (P.Giss. 40 I 9) are to understand as slaves who wereseverely punished by their masters and afterwards manumitted. The lex Aelia Sentiaexcluded these freedmen of any kind of Roman citizenship (Gaius, Inst. I 26). Thisview, so far advanced only by a minority of scholars, seems to be backed now byMacedonian manumission inscriptions. Therefore, the attempt to restore the lacunaein the papyrus according to the tabula Banasitana seems to be misleading
Overworked or Underemployed? Actual and Preferred Household Employment Patterns in the Context of the Economic Crisis
No full textThis article revisits work hour mismatches at the couple level. Most of what has beenpublished on actual and preferred employment arrangements of couples in Europe is basedon international survey data from the late 1990s. The aim is to present new data oncouples’ actual and preferred employment arrangements using data from Round 5 of theEuropean Social Survey (2010-2012). The article discusses trends in the degree to whichcouples’ employment arrangements are in line with preferences and how work hourmismatches may be related to the current economic crisis
Food Security, Fertility Differentials and Land Degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Dynamic Framework
No full textWe study the impact of differential fertility levels for the food-insecure and foodsecurepopulation on the long-run values of the population distribution and resourcesin a descriptive model, where the food security states are determined by a historicallygiven food distribution and by the endogenous food production with resources andlabor as inputs. Furthermore, we assume that the resource stock is reduced by povertydrivenenvironmental degradation. Moreover, we incorporate nutritional effects on laborproductivity and mortality. By applying local bifurcation theory, we show that themodel may exhibit multiple equilibria. Furthermore, the orbits of resources and thepopulation distribution may be characterized by quasi-periodic behavior. Sustainabledevelopment in terms of approaching a steady state with positive values of resourcesand food-secure population is only promoted by low fertility levels of the food-insecureand food-secure population

Union Formation, Marriage and First Birth: Convergence Across Cohorts in Austria, Hungary, Northern Italy and Slovenia?
No full textThe interplay between changes of different demographic determinants may trigger orprevent convergence of various dimensions of demographic behaviour both within andbetween countries of western and Eastern Europe. We investigate whether convergence ordivergence dynamics prevail across cohorts in Austria, Hungary, northern Italy andSlovenia with regard to union formation and transition to motherhood. Our findingssuggest that convergence in patterns of union formation and first birth is far from beingachieved across the countries considered. Postponement of family formation andmotherhood has spread, but between-country differences persist and even suggestdiverging cross-country patterns
