Further topics and focal points

In various articles in specialist journals, special volumes and other editorships, Raimund Hasse has further developed the neo-institutionalist perspective and related it to other topics, above all to economic and sociological problems, to personnel issues and questions of discrimination as well as to standards. The empirical reference is made in particular by projects financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) on “Startups in Biotechnology”, “Institutional Discrimination” and “Fairtrade”. Current theoretical focal points relate to the institutional character of actors as well as to the prerequisites and consequences of inter-organizational competition within and outside the economy.
