The paper is devoted to Schrödinger operators with dissipative boundary conditions on bounded intervals. In the framework of the LaxPhillips scattering theory the asymptotic behaviour of the phase shift is investigated in detail and its relation to the spectral shift is discussed. In particular, the trace formula and the Birman-Krein formula are verified directly. The results are exploited for dissipative Schrödinger-Poisson systems.
