The relative dynamics of investment and the current account in the G7-economies

This paper contributes to the empirics of the intertemporal approach to the current account. We use a cointegrated VAR framework to identify permanent and transitory components of country-specific and global shocks. Our approach allows us to investigate empirically the sensitivity to persistence implied by many forward-looking models and our results shed new light on the excess...

Die arbeitsrechtliche Situation der VR-Delegierten in der Schweiz

Der Druck zur Professionalisierung der Verwaltungsräte führt dazu, dass immer mehr Verwaltungsräte zusätzlich zum organschaftlichen Verhältnis auch noch ein arbeitsvertragliches Verhältnis zur Gesellschaft eingehen. Dies ist grundsätzlich zulässig, birgt aber ein grosses Konfliktpotential und erschwert eine effiziente Corporate Governance.
Im Jahre 2000 waren 9'224 VR-...

Does Money Illusion Matter?

This paper shows that a small amount of individual-level money illusion may cause considerable aggregate nominal inertia after a negative nominal shock. In addition, our results indicate that negative and positive nominal shocks have asymmetric effects because of money illusion. While nominal inertia is quite substantial and long lasting after a negative shock, it is rather small...

Flexible Citizenship for a Global Society

States are ill equipped to meet the challenges of a globalized world. The concept of citizenship with its rights and obligations, including the allegiance owed, is too narrowly defined to exist only between individuals and a state. Today, people identify with, and pay allegiance to, many organizations beyond the state. This paper suggests that citizenship could be extended further...

Psychological Foundations of Incentives

During the last two decades economists have made much progress in understandingnincentives, contracts and organisations. Yet, they constrained their attention to a very narrow and empirically questionable view of human motivation. The purpose of this paper is to show that this narrow view of human motivation may severely limit understanding the determinants and effects of incentives...

Monetary Policy and Forecasts for Real GDP Growth: An Empirical Investigation for the Federal Republic of Germany

Using quarterly data for the Federal Republic of Germany, we generate four-quarter-ahead forecasts for real GDP growth. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, other monetary indicators like real M1 or short-run interest rates clearly outperform forecasts which are based on interest rate spreads. This holds for within as well as for ex-post predictions. The same holds for the development...

We show that a trader distributing wealth across available assets according to...
