Overview: Points to the problem of under-utilized Quality assurance data instead of the wishful thinking about Quality Assurance in education.Discusses Quality assurance processes in six European countries to f.Many resources are invested in the development and introduction of Quality Assurance Systems in educational institutions all over the world. Our assumption is that, as a result of quality assurance activities, practitioners obtain information about their own functioning and institutional performance which is new and valuable to them and which therefore will form a basis for them to impr

Overview: Ausgangspunkt ist die Erweiterung der umweltökonomischen Theorie auf komplexe Umweltprobleme mit hoher zeitlicher und räumlicher Ausdehnung bei teilweise unklaren Schädigungszusammenhängen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird insbesondere die Bedeutung des umwelttechnischen Fortschritts untersucht. Hier wird zwischen ‘additivem‘ und ‘integriertem‘ umwelttechnischem Fortschritt unterschieden. Mit Hilfe der Transaktionskostentheorie wird dargelegt, daß eine Entwicklung auf dem ‘falschen additiven Ast‘ des technologischen Stammbaums eintreten kann, die den Einsatz staatlicher Lenkung zugunsten
