It addresses how oppressors recruit their victims and how certain mechanisms affect the extent of exploitation. Essay 2 presents a theoretical model where slaveholders can buy protection from punishment by bribing corrupt inspectors. Bribery is modelled via Nash bargaining. Multiple equilibria and hysteresis are possible. Essay 3 studies empirically how political decision-making, institutional environment and exploitation are interlinked by creating a novel dataset.<eng> vorgelegt von Bianca Willert Enthält 3 Essays GutachterInnen: Michael Rauscher (Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre) ; Britta Gehrke (Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre) Dissertation Universität Rostock 2022 330 330 QV 350 MS 5000 86.85 71.65 71.42 83.14 http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00003483 https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00003483 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00003483-6 https://d-nb.info/1293536598/34 Essays on the economics of slavery and serfdom--(DE-627)1789421365 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00003483-6 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00003483 oclc: 1295570727 ppn: (DE-627)1788864492
