    Description: »Robert Davidsohn (1853-1937). People I knew – Memories of an Octogenarian« The book presents the annotated edition of the memoir of Robert Davidsohn (1853–1937), a German-Jewish scholar, still known for his history of Medieval Florence. The autobiography is the document of a life between Germany and Italy, of a man who after a career as a journalist and a newspaper publisher in ›Kaiserreich‹ Berlin, chose to become an independent historian living in Florence and gaining international academic recognition, and, as an old man, had to confront the triumph of Fascism and Nazism.
    Description: Published
    Description: Robert Davidsohn (1853–1937) ist bis heute aufgrund seiner monumentalen Geschichte des mittelalterlichen Florenz in Fachkreisen ein Begriff. Kaum etwas weiß man von seinem ungewöhnlichen Werdegang. Aus einer assimilierten jüdischen Danziger Kaufmannsfamilie stammend, war er als junger Mann als Journalist und Zeitungsunternehmer in Berlin erfolgreich. Nach einem späten Geschichtsstudium wählte er die Lebensform eines Privatgelehrten in Florenz, wo er Aufnahme in die Kreise der gebildeten wohlhabenden städtischen Eliten fand und internationale Anerkennung als Historiker gewann. Die vor wenigen Jahren entdeckte Autobiographie Davidsohns, die hier als kommentierte Erstedition vorgelegt wird, ist ein einmaliges Zeugnis eines deutsch-jüdischen Grenzgängers zwischen Deutschland und Italien, zwischen Journalismus und Geschichtswissenschaft, zwischen zünftiger und freier historischer Forschung, in einem weiten Bogen von den 1850er Jahren bis in die Zeit von Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus.; »Robert Davidsohn (1853-1937).

    Description: Der Übergang der früheren Staatshandelsländer Mittel- und Osteuropas hat sich in den letzten zehn Jahren keineswegs so kontinuierlich und bruchlos vollzogen, wie dies westliche Ökonomen erwartet oder zumindest erhofft hatten. Stattdessen kam es in den verschiedensten Bereichen - sowohl realwirtschaftlich als auch monetär - zu erheblichen Verwerfungen und Rückschlägen, die den generellen Befund von - wenn auch im einzelnen unterschiedlich ausgeprägten - "Transformationskrisen" in den meisten betroffenen Ländern rechtfertigen. Aber auch außerhalb des zusammengebrochenen RGW-Blocks gibt es sowohl länderspezifisch als auch länderübergreifend eine Vielzahl ungelöster "marktwirtschaftlicher Hausaufgaben", nicht zuletzt in der Europäischen Union selbst. Unter diesen Bedingungen ist die nicht nur politisch erwünschte, sondern auch langfristig ökonomisch gebotene Osterweiterung der EU eine sehr schwierige Aufgabe, die auch bei den bisherigen Mitgliedsländern einen erheblichen Reformwillen und eine umfassende Reformbereitschaft erfordert, soll diese Erweiterung die mit ihr verbundenen wirtschaftlichen und politischen Hoffnungen nicht enttäuschen. Der Ausschuß für Wirtschaftssysteme des Vereins für Socialpolitik widmete sich diesem Problemkreis auf seiner 31. Jahrestagung vom 26. bis 28. September 1999. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Beratungen des Ausschusses anhand der überarbeiteten Referate und Korreferate. Nach grundsätzlichen wachstumstheoretischen Überlegungen (Herbert Brücker) wird die Osterweiterung als Prüfstein für die Reformfähigkeit der EU (Helmut Leipold) betrachtet, und Hans Jürgen Wagener analysiert den schwierigen Übergangsprozess der Länder Mittel- und Osteuropas als "Rückkehr nach Europa". Monetäre Krisenphänomene sind Gegenstand der Untersuchungen von Theresia Theurl und von Uwe Vollmer, während die besonderen Probleme der Systemtransformation großer Länder am Beispiel Chinas von Carsten Herrmann-Pillath dargestellt werden. Die schwierigen Transformationsprozesse im südlichen Mittelmeerraum werden schließlich von Volker Nienhaus untersucht. Die Beiträge und die Korreferate machen deutlich, daß institutionelle Reformen, auch im politischen System, für eine gelingende Transformation und eine sinnvolle Erweiterung der EU unabdingbar sind.

    Description: Auf seiner letzten Jahrestagung hat sich der Verein für Socialpolitik mit einem der zentralen Zukunftsthemen der europäischen Wirtschaftspolitik auseinandergesetzt: Die Osterweiterung der Europäischen Union. Der Vorsitzende des Vereins, Hans-Werner Sinn, greift in seiner Eröffnungsrede die Sorge der Westeuropäer über erwartete Wanderungsströme von Arbeitskräften auf. Er warnt vor einer Dramatisierung, weist aber auf die Anpassungserfordernisse für Arbeitsmärkte und Sozialsysteme hin. Andries Brandsma von der Europäischen Kommission macht deutlich, daß vor dem Beitritt ein umfassender Kriterienkatalog zu erfüllen ist, was den Beitrittskandidaten bisher in unterschiedlichem Maße gelungen ist. Die Wohlfahrtseffekte der Osterweiterung für die EU 15, die bisher empirisch kaum quantifiziert wurden, behandelt Wilhelm Kohler von der Universität Linz im Rahmen einer modellgestützten empirischen Analyse. Michael Burda von der Berliner Humboldt-Universität setzt sich vornehmlich mit den Arbeitsmarktwirkungen auseinander. Im Unterschied zur herrschenden Meinung erwartet er positive Arbeitsmarkteffekte für die EU 15, hingegen eher negative für die Beitrittsländer. Hans Peter Lankes von der EBRD vertritt die These, daß in der Phase vor dem Beitritt erhöhte Investitionsanforderungen auf die betreffenden Länder zukommen, für deren Finanzierung die Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden müssen. Alfred Steinherr von der Europäischen Investitionsbank betont abschließend nochmals die tiefgreifenden Reformen, die von der Gemeinschaft der 15 vor einer Osterweiterung vollzogen werden müssen. Auf der Jahrestagung erfolgen stets auch Ehrungen. Neben der Verleihung des Gossenpreises an Ernst Fehr war die Thünen-Vorlesung des Nobelpreisträgers Reinhard Selten ein besonderes wissenschaftliches Vergnügen. Mit seinen Ausführungen hat er an den Grundfesten der ökonomischen Theorie gerüttelt, was manchen Tagungsteilnehmer sicher nicht wenig irritiert hat.

    Description: This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004. The meeting focused on the effectiveness of, and new approaches in, development cooperation. Both issues have become increasingly important in recent years in view of the declining volume of budget funds allocated to development cooperation. The papers discussing the effectiveness of foreign aid shed new light on the issue at a crucial moment where economists have begun to question the recent consensus that the productivity of aid mainly depends on the recipient country's policy environment. As far as the contributions dealing with new approaches in development cooperation are concerned, these are centred on a closer integration of the private sector, by joint action with so-called lead firms in production networks on the one hand, and the mobilization of additional financial resources from international capital markets for bilateral development cooperation, on the other. The authors also make suggestions concerning critical aspects relevant for implementation. The last part of this volume is dedicated to an assessment of low-income countries' pension schemes based on the human capital approach.This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004.

    Description: Die Europäische Union steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union stehen auf der Politikagenda. Ob die Vorschläge des Europäischen Verfassungskonvents für eine grundlegende Erneuerung des Unionsvertrages diesbezüglich zukunftsfähig sind, bedarf einer intensiven Diskussion. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes stehen Probleme speziell der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung im Mittelpunkt. Obwohl der Begriff der Wirtschaftsverfassung nicht eindeutig definiert ist, sind juristische und vor allem verfassungs- und institutionenökonomische Analysen von Belang. Dabei spannen die Beiträge einen Bogen über die wichtigsten Problembereiche. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu einer europäischen Verfassung führen zu den Fragen: Benötigen wir überhaupt eine Verfassung für Europa? Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen den Nationalstaaten und der Union zu regeln? Freiheit, Bürgersouveränität und Subsidiarität - als eine spezielle Ausprägung des Prinzips der komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteile - spielen in der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung eine zentrale Rolle. Sie ergänzen sich mit Überlegungen zur europäischen Finanzverfassung, in der auch die Frage nach den institutionellen Ebenen gestellt wird, die für die Bereitstellung und Finanzierung unterschiedlicher Güter in der Union verantwortlich sind. Gefragt wird auch, ob eine Koordination der nationalen Arbeitsmarktpolitiken auf EU-Ebene sinnvoll ist, oder ob die Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit im nationalen Politikbereich verbleiben sollte. Zudem: Welche konstitutionen- und institutionenökonomischen Dimensionen hat der Stabilitäts- und Wachstumspakt? Behandelt wird auch das Problem, ob im europäischen Strukturwandel ein Konflikt existiert zwischen ökonomischer Effizienz und sozialer Sicherheit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Theorie optimaler Jurisdiktionen stellt sich die Frage nach der optimalen Länderzahl für die EU-Erweiterung. Optimalitätsprobleme aufgrund der Erweiterung des Euro-Raumes werden hinsichtlich der Entscheidungseffizienz des Rats der Europäischen Zentralbank erörtert. Schließlich behandelt der Band spezielle Aspekte der Subsidiarität sowie der kollektiven Marktbeherrschung in der Wettbewerbspolitik innerhalb der Union.

    Description: Nationalstaaten verändern ihre Größe - dies lehrt die Geschichte. Gleichwohl wird die Größe eines Landes in der Ökonomik meist als exogen angenommen und nicht erklärt. Dies überrascht, weil die Staatsgröße in gewissem Umfang als Ergebnis rationaler Entscheidungen und als genuin institutionenökonomische Fragestellung angesehen werden kann. Deshalb fragen die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes aus institutionenökonomischer Sicht nach ökonomischen und politischen Grenzen von Wirtschaftsräumen. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit vorliegenden Ansätzen zur Erklärung der Größe von Nationen am Beispiel der Europäischen Union und des Deutschen Reiches: Gibt es eine optimale Größe der EU? Welches sind die Ursachen der historischen deutschen Kleinstaaterei? Diskutiert wird zudem die These, dass zunehmender Welthandel ein Faktor der Desintegration von Staaten sei. Im Mittelpunkt des zweiten Teils steht die Verteilung öffentlicher Aufgaben innerhalb einer Nation. Die Autoren fragen, warum nicht alle staatlichen Aufgaben in der Hand einer Zentralregierung liegen, sondern teilweise auf sub- und supranationale Jurisdiktionsebenen ausgelagert sind. Japan gereicht als ein Beispiel für ein bislang zentralistisch organisiertes Staatsgebilde, für das eine stärkere Dezentralisierung gefordert wird. Thema des dritten Teils ist die Integration von Wirtschaftsräumen durch Finanznetzwerke. Analysiert wird beispielhaft das informelle Finanzsystem "hawala", das vor allem in islamischen Ländern verbreitet ist.

    Description: Einmal mehr zeigt sich die Heterogenität der Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union in ihren wirtschaftlichen, politischen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen ebenso wie in ihren wirtschaftspolitischen Präferenzen und in ihren Vorstellungen, wie auf Herausforderungen reagiert werden sollte. Herausforderungen sind zahlreiche zu bewältigen und weitere zeichnen sich ab. Sie kommen nicht nur von außen, sondern sie bilden sich auch durch ordnungspolitische Divergenzen innerhalb der Europäischen Union heraus, so in der Einschätzung einer regelorientierten Wirtschaftspolitik im Vergleich zu einer Wirtschaftslenkung. Diese Kontroverse ist zwar nicht neu, gewinnt aktuell jedoch große Bedeutung und wird daher in den Beiträgen dieses Tagungsbandes aufgegriffen. Sie setzen sich mit den zahlreichen und vielfältigen Facetten auseinander, die mit der Frage "Gute Regeln oder Wirtschaftslenkung" verbunden sind. Die Entwicklungen in der Europäischen Währungsunion und die Verhandlungen über geeignete Reaktionen auf die aufgetretenen Probleme lassen erwarten, dass uns genau diese Thematik auch in den kommenden Jahren begleiten wird.

    Description: Die Vollendung des fünften Jahrzehnts seit dem Zustandekommen der Vereinbarungen von »Bretton Woods« nahm der Wirtschaftspolitische Ausschuß der Gesellschaft für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften (Verein für Socialpolitik) zum Anlaß, sich auf seiner Sitzung am 23. und 24. März 1994 in Mainz mit Problemen der Weltwirtschaftsordnung zu beschäftigen. Die auf dieser Tagung vorgelegten und diskutierten Referate werden in diesem Band publiziert. Im ersten Aufsatz zeigt C.W.A.M van Paridon - unter Rückgriff auf eine Studie des Zentralen Planungsamtes der Niederlande -, wie sehr die künftige Entwicklung der Weltwirtschaft nicht nur davon abhängt, ob es den drei großen Handelsblöcken gelingt, ihre internen Probleme zu bewältigen, sondern auch davon, inwieweit diese Triade in der Lage sein wird, dem schleichenden Protektionismus wirksam Einhalt zu gebieten und die Liberalisierung der Weltwirtschaftsordnung (weiter) voranzutreiben. Zur Frage, ob dies zu erwarten ist, kommt Norbert Berthold - vor allem mit Hilfe von Überlegungen der ökonomischen Theorie der Politik - zu einer eher pessimistischen Prognose. Optimistischere Erwartungen impliziert demgegenüber die kritische Würdigung der letzten GATT-Runde durch Josef Molsberger. Wie schwierig sich eine Erweiterung des Geltungsbereichs liberaler Regeln für den internationalen Handel auch auf den tertiären Sektor gestaltet, illustriert Jörn Kruse am Beispiel audiovisueller Dienstleistungen. Über die Zukunft der Weltwirtschaftsordnung entscheidet aber nicht allein die Gestaltung der Welthandelsordnung. Von vergleichbarer Bedeutung ist auch die internationale Währungsordnung. Diesen Aspekt thematisiert Norbert Kloten: Seine Darlegungen lassen vermuten, daß das nach dem Ende des Wechselkurssystems von Bretton Woods entstandene System frei flexibler Wechselkurse - zumal zwischen den drei großen Handelsblöcken - trotz seiner bekannten Schwachstellen in absehbarer Zeit kaum eine Änderung der geltenden Regeln erfahren wird; denn

    Description: In an effort to determine the feasibility of requiring all Air Force officers to attain a specific level of proficiency in a second language, the authors conducted a survey of current Air Force officers. The results suggest that such a requirement is not currently feasible. However, it would instead be desirable to offer incentives for a variety of efforts made toward achieving proficiency, both before and after commissioning.

    Description: Zielführende praktische Wettbewerbspolitik bedarf der wissenschaftlichen Reflexion und Begleitung. Gleichzeitig jedoch würde sich die wissenschaftliche Diskussion schnell im modelltheoretischen "Nirvana" verlieren, würde sie nicht beständig durch die Auseinandersetzung mit sich in der praktischen Wettbewerbspolitik stellenden Problemen befruchtet. Deshalb hat es sich die Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb im Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschuß des Vereins für Socialpolitik zum Ziel gesetzt, im Rahmen ihrer Jahrestagungen den Gedankenaustausch zu aktuellen Themen der Wettbewerbspolitik zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Praktikern zu fördern. Um die Ergebnisse dieses Gedanken- und Erfahrungsaustausches einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, werden die Referate der Jahrestagungen jeweils in Form eines Tagungsbandes veröffentlicht. Die im folgenden aufgeführten Bände geben das gesamte Spektrum der aktuellen wettbewerbspolitischen Kontroversen wieder. So wurden etwa die durch das Internet und die Neuen Kommunikationstechnologien und Medien entstehenden Herausforderungen mehrfach behandelt (Band 292 "Wettbewerb in der Internetökonomie"; Band 266 "Die Dynamik der Telekommunikationsmärkte als Herausforderung an die Wettbewerbspolitik"; Band 252 "Herausforderung Medien: Zwischen Feiheit und Zwang"). Aktuelle Fragen zur Fusionskontrolle bildeten ebenso einen weiteren Schwerpunkt (Band 288 "Megafusionen"; Band 270 "Die Europäische Fusionskontrolle") wie der "Wettbewerb in der Versorgungswirtschaft" (Band 299). Die jüngsten beiden Bände beschäftigen sich mit eher grundsätzlichen Fragestellungen. So wurde auf der Jahrestagung 2004 die Bedeutung von Effizienzkriterien für die Wettbewerbspolitik (Band 306 "Effizienz und Wettbewerb") diskutiert, während sich die Jahrestagung 2005 mit dem Konfliktfeld der Internationalen Wettbewerbspolitik befasste (Band 311 "Internationale Wettbewerbspolitik"). Zum aktuellen Band - "Internationale Wettbewerbspolitik": Internationale Fusionen entwickeln sich zunehmend zu Streitfällen zwischen den nationalen Wettbewerbsbehörden. Einerseits wird deshalb, auch unter dem Aspekt der Rechtssicherheit, der Ruf nach einem Weltkartellamt immer lauter. Andererseits könnte auch auf verstärkte Kooperation und Abstimmung zwischen den nationalen Kartellbehörden gesetzt werden. Welche der beiden Lösungen ist nun aus ökonomischer Sicht angemessener? Der vorliegende Band umfasst die bei der Tagung 2005 der Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb an der Universität Marburg zu diesem Thema gehaltenen Referate. Einen eigenständigen Vorschlag aus ökonomischer Sicht bezüglich Zentralität und Dezentralität im Kartellrecht entwickeln Wolfgang Kerber und Oliver Budzinski in ihrem Beitrag. Komplementär dazu beleuchtet Josef Drexl Gestaltungsansätze aus juristischer Perspektive. Über die unterschiedliche Praxis europäischer und amerikanischer Kartellbehörden und deren ökonomische Konsequenzen referiert Andreas Strohm am Beispiel ausgewählter Eingriffskriterien im Wettbewerbsrecht. Praktische Anwendungsfälle werden in den Beiträgen von Michael Baron anhand der Empagran-Entscheidung des US Supreme Court und von Rainer Bechtold anhand internationaler Fusionskontrollfälle aufgezeigt.

Space systems must become more resilient to potential adversary actions and system failures, but changes to space systems are costly. To reduce costs, the Air Force asked RAND to identify non-materiel means—doctrine, organization, training, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, and policy—to enhance space resilience over the near and far terms.

    Description: Die Autoren dieses Buches, Entwicklungsökonomen und führende Praktiker der Entwicklungspolitik, befassen sich mit grundlegenden und aktuellen Problemen der Armut in Entwicklungsländern. Zwanzig Prozent der Weltbevölkerung lebt heute in absoluter Armut und davon ein großer Anteil weit unterhalb der Armutsschwelle. Die Autoren behandeln Ausmaß, Entwicklung, Ursachen und Wirkungen der Armut in Entwicklungsländern. Sie befassen sich außerdem mit der Rolle der Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik, insbesondere aber auch der internationalen Entwicklungspolitik bei der Bekämpfung der Armut. Armut bedeutet nicht nur niedriges Einkommen, sondern auch geringen Bildungsstand, wenig Möglichkeiten zur Kommunikation, soziale Deklassierung, häufige Erkrankung und kurze Lebenserwartung. Wegen der Vielschichtigkeit von Armut ist es schwierig, ihr Ausmaß genau zu bestimmen. Die im Buch dargestellten Meßkonzepte reichen von dem wenig aussagefähigen und sogar irreführenden "headcount" bis zu komplexen Indikatoren mit hohem Informationsgehalt für Öffentlichkeit und armutsbekämpfende Behörden. Wie immer Armut begrifflich gefaßt wird, es scheint, wie aus dem umfangreichen empirischen Material des Buches hervorgeht, sicher zu sein, daß sie in den letzten zwanzig Jahren zugenommen hat. Verschärfte Armut tritt auch in Entwicklungsländern mit befriedigendem Wirtschaftswachstum auf. Armut ist nicht in erster Linie auf niedrige Produktivität zurückzuführen, sondern wie von den Autoren gezeigt wird, auf ein Bündel von Faktoren, die Einkommensmöglichkeiten und Partizipation an staatlichen Leistungen im allgemeinen und öffentlichen Gütern im besonderen unter Mindestschranken drücken. Wenn Armut auch bei relativ hohem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen auftreten kann, bedeutet dies nicht, daß wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahmen für die Bekämpfung der Armut ungeeignet seien. Armutsbekämpfung kann sich sowohl wirtschafts- und ordnungspolitischer Mittel bedienen als auch direkter Transferleistungen. Auch die Wirtschaftspolitik der Industriestaaten kann zur Armutsbekämpfung beitragen, indem sie ihren Protektionismus gegenüber Importen aus Entwicklungsländern reduziert und abrupte Veränderungen der Finanz- und Geldpolitik vermeiden hilft, die in Entwicklungsländern deutlich erkennbare Auswirkungen auf die Armutsgruppen zur Folge gehabt haben. Aber auch Entwicklungshilfe kann einen Beitrag leisten, sei es direkt, sei es indirekt, indem Mittelabflüsse an Eigenanstrengungen der Empfängerländer bei der Armutsbekämpfung geknüpft werden.

    Description: Globale Finanzmärkte erfüllen unverzichtbare Aufgaben für eine effiziente Allokation der Ressourcen und für die Disziplinierung der Politik. Sie belohnen "gute" Politiken durch Kapitalzuflüsse, und sie bestrafen eine "schlechte" Politik durch Abwanderung. Trotz dieser Vorteile ist die Mobilität des internationalen Kapitals zunehmend in die Kritik geraten. Sie kann - jenseits der Fundamentalfaktoren - zu weltweiten Verzerrungen der Finanzmarktpreise führen, die tief in die realwirtschaftliche Sphäre hineinreichen und die Aktionsparameter der Geld- und Währungspolitik lähmen. Ist die Globalisierung der Finanzmärkte zu weit gegangen? International renommierte Autoren diskutieren im vorliegenden Band drei zentrale Eckpunkte des Spannungsfeldes, innerhalb dessen die Finanzmärkte stehen: die Globalisierungswirkungen, die Balance zwischen Wettbewerb und Regulierung und die Perspektiven für die europäische Währungspolitik.

    Description: Die Medien sind ein plastisches Beispiel für technisch-institutionelle Interdependenzen: Im Zuge der von technischen Neuerungen vorangetriebenen Marktdynamik werden tradierte institutionelle Arrangements obsolet, womit neue ordnungspolitische Herausforderungen entstehen. Wenn aber die Medien eine »vierte Gewalt« bilden, so kann der rasante Veränderungsprozeß nicht nur mit einem »laisser faire« beantwortet werden. Die ordnungspolitische Herausforderung ist also bei den Medien besonders groß und bedarf sorgfältiger wissenschaftlicher Reflexion. Die »Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses« im Verein für Socialpolitik erörterte dieses Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Freiheit und Zwang eingehend mit Vertretern aus Politik, Verbandswesen und Unternehmenspraxis. Der Tagungsband beinhaltet die Referate sowie zusätzliche Beiträge: Dr. Werner Hippe, Präsident des Verbandes Deutscher Zeitschriftenverleger e. V., Bonn, verdeutlicht die Chancen und Risiken der Zeitschriftenverlage angesichts der veränderten technischen Möglichkeiten. Peter Voß, Intendant des Südwestdeutschen Rundfunks, Baden-Baden, erörtert die gegenwärtige und zukünftige Legitimation des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks in einer sich wandelnden Umwelt. Reinhard Klimmt, MdL, Vorsitzender der Medienkommission des SPDBundesvorstands, referiert über die sozialen Gestaltungspotentiale der Medienpolitik. Prof. eh. Dietrich Ratzke entwickelt eine grundlegende Kritik an den euphorischen Szenarien der Medienzukunft. Prof. Dr. Wolf-Dieter Ring, Präsident der Bayerischen Landeszentrale für neue Medien, München, und Dr. Norbert Schneider, Direktor der Landesanstalt für Rundfunk Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, gehen auf die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen in den jeweiligen Bundesländern ein.

    Description: Seit langem wächst der Welthandel deutlich stärker als das Weltsozialprodukt. Ein zunehmender Teil dieses Handels besteht dabei aus dem Austausch von Dienstleistungen. Auch die Direktinvestitionen, durch die ausländische Investoren in den jeweiligen Zielländern Unternehmen gründen, erwerben, modernisieren oder erweitern, nehmen seit Mitte der 80er Jahre erheblich rascher zu als die Weltproduktion. Beleg für den hohen Grad und das zügige Fortschreiten der "Vernetzung" der Weltwirtschaft ist schließlich die geradezu ungestüme Dynamik, mit der sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten die internationalen Geld- und Kapitalmärkte entwickelt haben. Für die Träger der nationalen Wirtschaftspolitik ergeben sich aus diesem Prozeß der Globalisierung bedeutsame Konsequenzen. Mit ihnen befaßte sich die Jahrestagung 1998 des Wirtschaftspolitischen Ausschusses des Vereins für Socialpolitik, die vom 31. März bis 2. April 1998 in Hamburg stattfand und deren Referate hiermit vorgelegt werden. Ungeachtet der unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen dieser Beiträge und ungeachtet auch der Unterschiede in Ansatz und Methode stimmen doch alle Autoren in der Auffassung grundsätzlich überein, daß der Prozeß der Globalisierung nicht vornehmlich als Bedrohung gesehen werden sollte, sondern daß er dort sehr attraktive Chancen zur Wohlfahrtssteigerung eröffnet, wo es gelingt, die sich mit diesem Prozeß verbindenden Anpassungserfordernisse überzeugend zu meistern.

    Description: Die Leser dieses Buches können erwarten, mit den wesentlichen Problemen des Globalisierungsprozesses für Entwicklungsländer vertraut gemacht zu werden. Der Prozeß der Globalisierung von Produktion, Dienstleistungen und Finanzkapital bringt nicht nur Chancen, sondern auch erhebliche Risiken für Entwicklungsländer mit sich. Er kann Aufholprozesse begünstigen, aber auch ein weiteres Zurückfallen verursachen. Für einen Erfolg sind viele Faktoren entscheidend. Die heimische Wirtschaftspolitik muß durch Herstellung stabiler Rahmenbedingungen sowie finanz- und währungspolitische Solidität günstige Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Teilnahme am Globalisierungsprozeß schaffen. Aber auch die Rahmendaten der internationalen Handelsordnung müssen den Kriterien der Stabilität und Fairneß gegenüber den zumeist machtlosen Entwicklungsländern genügen. Die Instabilität des äußeren Ordnungsrahmens kann sich in unbeeinflußbaren Schocks auf die heimische Volkswirtschaft niederschlagen. So wird am Beispiel der jüngsten Mexiko-Krise deutlich, daß einerseits viele Entwicklungsländer heute einen erheblich verbesserten Zugang zu den internationalen Finanzmärkten haben, andererseits aber die Verletzlichkeit ihrer Wirtschaft dadurch zugenommen hat. Die Liberalisierung der Kapital- und Gütermärkte sollte in Entwicklungsländern nicht losgelöst voneinander vollzogen werden. Geschieht dies dennoch und eilt die Liberalisierung des finanzwirtschaftlichen Sektors zu stark voraus, wirken sich internationale finanzwirtschaftliche Krisenerscheinungen ungleich stärker auf den realwirtschaftlichen Sektor aus. Insgesamt stehen die Chancen für erfolgreiche Aufholprozesse aber nicht schlecht. Auch wenn die Entwicklungsländer zeitweise nur als »verlängerte Werkbänke« mit wenig Humankapital am Weltmarkt teilnehmen, muß dies kein Dauerschicksal sein, wenn die Wirtschaftspolitik entwicklungsfreundlich bleibt und das Bildungssystem zügig ausgebaut wird. Die Globalisierung umfaßt auch völlig neuartige Märkte,

    Description: How safe are autonomous vehicles? The answer is crucial for developing sound policies to govern their deployment. This report evaluates whether it is practical to test-drive autonomous vehicles to assess their safety. We find that it would take hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles of test-driving to provide clear statistical evidence of autonomous vehicle safety, suggesting it is not a practical approach.

To help policymakers understand the implications of this decision, RAND analysts employed the COMPARE microsimulation model to gauge the impact of the one-year delay of the so-called employer mandate.

    Description: Die asiatische Wirtschaftskrise ist ein Thema, mit dem sich mittlerweile zahlreiche Publikationen beschäftigt haben und noch beschäftigen. Das Spezifische des vorliegenden Bandes besteht darin, die Asienkrise als prominentes Beispiel einer regionalen Wirtschaftskrise anzusehen und nach denjenigen Ursachen und möglichen Therapieformen zu suchen, die nicht nur für die Asienkrise, sondern auch für andere regionale Krisen von Bedeutung sein könnten. Die Beiträge des Bandes wurden als Haupt- und Korreferate auf der Jahrestagung 1999 des Entwicklungsländerausschusses im Verein für Socialpolitik diskutiert. Zentrale Themen der Beiträge sind einerseits die Entwicklung der asiatischen Wirtschaftskrise im Zeitverlauf, die zentralen Erklärungsansätze, die Bedeutung der Finanzmärkte, der Zusammenhang zwischen Finanzsektor und realem Sektor, die Rolle des internationalen Handels sowie die Relevanz des Verhaltens internationaler Organisationen, insbesondere des Internationalen Währungsfonds IWF. Die meisten Beiträge zeigen, daß es keine eindeutigen "Wenn-dann"-Erkenntnisse im Hinblick auf die Entstehung und Ausbreitung regionaler Wirtschaftskrisen zu geben scheint. Dennoch hat man aus der Asienkrise gelernt, nämlich vor allem in dem Sinn, daß man mehr über die Determinanten weiß, die die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Krisen erhöhen. Offensichtlich hat das Zusammentreffen von sehr hoher Auslandsverschuldung bei hohen Leistungsbilanzdefiziten mit Finanzsektoren, die durch Anreize zu übermäßiger Kreditvergabe charakterisiert waren, die Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine krisenhafte Entwicklung wesentlich gesteigert. Darüber hinaus ist davon auszugehen, daß die Asienkrise für andere Teile der Welt weniger wegen ihrer realwirtschaftlichen Effekte, sondern vor allem deshalb bedrohlich wurde, weil die internationalen Kapitalmärkte das Kreditrisiko der asiatischen Länder nach oben korrigierten und dadurch massive Abwertungen auslösten. Als Lehren für die Zukunft drängen sich zwei Folgerungen auf: Zum einen wird man auch künftig davon ausgehen müssen, daß man mit Nachfrageschocks konfrontiert ist, die ihre Ursache im Geschehen in anderen Ländern bzw. auf globalen Märkten haben. Um hierauf sinnvoll reagieren zu können, braucht es neben traditioneller Wirtschaftspolitik vor allem institutionelle Reformen. Zum anderen wäre es hilfreich, wenn das realwirtschaftliche Schadenspotential internationaler Kapitalströme reduziert werden könnte. Zu klären, wie dies erreicht werden kann, muß weiteren wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzungen vorbehalten bleiben. Der Band wendet sich an Leser, die am Rätsel regionaler Wirtschaftskrisen näher interessiert sind, sei es aus eher theoretischer oder eher angewandter Perspektive, sei es aus eher nationalem oder globalem Blickwinkel, sei es aus eher realwirtschaftlicher oder finanzwirtschaftlicher Sicht.

Critics have argued against the Mailbox Rule on anti-monopoly and property rights grounds. But relaxing the Mailbox Rule may affect public safety and security. This study assesses the public safety concerns of relaxing the Mailbox Rule and makes recommendations to address these concerns.
