for Labour Law and Industrial Relations
in the European Union
THE INSTITUTE
The employees of the IAAEU research the underlying economic and legal conditions for labour in a constantly changing European society. Our task is project-related research, which is interdisciplinary, socially relevant and receives international attention. The goal is to influence the public discourse with scientific findings and thereby improve the conditions for labour and industrial relations. In that light, the institute understands itself as an initiating force for other researchers and for the region. The IAAEU was founded as a public law foundation in 1983. The institute is financed by the German Federal State of Rhineland-Palatinate and is also a scientific institution attached to Trier University. It is located on Campus II of the University.
Research at the IAAEU takes place under a tight cooperation between the two chairs of the co-directors Prof. Dr. Daniel Ulber (European Labour Law and Civil Law) and Prof. Dr. Laszlo Goerke (Business Administration – Personnel Economics). Furthermore, the institute maintains an extensive library with a unique collection of works pertinent to labour law, industrials relations, particularly industrial relations between member states of the EU, and personnel economics.
This year's SOEP User Conference took place in Berlin from July 8 to 9. Sven Hartmann presented a paper entitled "Works councils and bonus payments", which is joint work with Yue Huang and Laszlo Goerke. The conference was a highly successful event, offering excellent opportunities for academic exchange, inspiring presentations, and engaging discussions on research using SOEP data.
IAAEU researchers Laszlo Goerke and Yue Huang, together with Markus Grabka from the DIW in Berlin and Viola Hilbert from Leipzig University and DIW, have just published a new paper on "Industrial Relations and Working From Home in Germany during the COVID-19 Pandemic" in the special issue of LABOUR: Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Italian Association of Labour Economics.
The annual conference of the Royal Economic Society (RES) took place on July 6 to July 8 at Newcastle University. Laszlo Goerke presented a paper on "Mandatory Profit-sharing in a Unionised Oligopoly with Endogenous Market Structure" that builds on earlier research on related issues with former colleagues at the IAAEU. The annual conference was a great event, with inspiring keynotes and many fascinating presentations in the general sessions.
