Abstract  Envy and need: A study of violence in the oldest Grimm tales This essay analyzes the violence and power descriptions in three different fairytales of Kinder- und Hausmärchen by the Grimm brothers. The analyzed fairytales are Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White. Questions answered are in which literary contexts violence and power occurs, what the motives of the abusers are, and what mutual similarities or differences the fairytales display.    The violence described can be linked to various reasons such as resentment, envy and power, and descriptions include both physical and psychological violence. Benefits are gained through manipulation or power positions.   The result show that there are similarities between the fairytales, although some differences occur. Envy and resentment only occur in Cinderella and in Snow White, however not in Hansel and Gretel. Violence is used by the antagonists as well as the protagonists. Throughout the stories antagonists use violence before the protagonists whose violence is mirrored as self-defense.

Existing theoretical literature fails to explain satisfactorily the differences between the pay of workers that are covered by collective agreements and others who are not. This study aims at providing a model framework which is amenable for an analysis of this issue. Our general-equilibrium approach integrates a dual labor market and a two-sector product market. The results suggest that the so-called 'union wage gap' is largely determined by the degree of centralization of the bargains, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, by the expenditure share of the unionized sector's goods.
