[Econmaster2012] Research Seminar in Economics, May 5: Thorsten Upmann

Dear all,

Thanks to the rail strike, Thorsten will not be able to make it, and 
consequently, the seminar has to be canceled.

Best wishes,
Frank Stähler

> Teams jointly produce a product. By judging the quality of this output,

> fixed task is assigned to each member of a team, the individual
> productivity of a worker is typically not directly observable and thus
> difficult to conceptualize. This is particularly true if the concept is
> to be operationalizable on observable data. In this paper we, therefore,

> closely related to eigenvalue centrality; accordingly we refer to it as
> “eigenvalue productivity”. For each version of eigenvalue productivity
> we provide an example demonstrating how to operationalize our concept.
