Moments of Truth: The Politics of Financial Crises in Comparative Perspective (Conceptualising Comparative Politics)

The current financial and sovereign debt crisis of the European Union and the United States can be regarded as the most recent of a wave of financial and sovereign debt crises that have affected different regions of the world over the past quarter century. While there is a large and growing body of literature on the economic aspects of financial crises, its political elements remain surprisingly under-studied. Moments of Truth: The Politics of Financial Crises in Comparative Perspective fills this gap in the literature by looking at the political repercussions and policy implications of financial crises in comparative perspective, using case studies in Latin America, Korea, and Russia, as well as the contemporary crises in the US and in key European countries. Contributors to this volume look at the crises as critical junctures that generate high levels of uncertainty while calling for decisive action. The chapters emphasize structural or agency based explanations and give relevance to the role of ideas, interests, and institutions in explaining different outcomes. The questions addressed by the case studies include: how the crises were defined by key actors, the range of political and policy options available to deal with their impact, the role of ideas in policy shifts, how political and economic actors redefine their interests in contexts of uncertainty, how political institutions mediate reactions to the crises, what explains the choice of a certain option over other alternatives, and whether the crisis has (so far) resulted in significant political and policy changes or in incremental adjustments to the status quo. The first book to comparatively analyze the political dimensions of financial crises across different global regions, Moments of Truth will be highly significant for any scholars interested in the contemporary debate on financial crises.

Moments of Valuation: Exploring Sites of Dissonance

The outcome of innovation processes are determined by complex, historically grown valuation practices. In this book, a wide range of innovations are taken into consideration, from small inventions like entertainment novelties to large societal changes through new technologies. The chapters observe the particular local or distributed sites in which their episodes of innovation take place, and they identify the initial dissonance among those judging a newly proposed alternative. The emphasis of the inquiry, however, is on the practices of valuation that are at work when something succeeds in being "new". The authors represent a wide variety of sub-disciplines and national backgrounds in the social sciences. They share an interest in social valuation and a pragmatist approach. The differences between their empirical evidence reflect the wide variety of appearances that valuation takes in contemporary society. They are anthropologists, economic or cultural sociologists, organization researchers, historians or political scientists. A number of chapters deals with aesthetic valuation, as in the tasting of a new vintage, or in the socio-technical process that shaped successful synthesizer sounds. Other chapters discuss the judgment processes in organizations, like architect offices or consultancy firms, and processes of evaluation and valorization in larger fields of practice, like accounting or mathematics. The studies are both of interest in their various professional fields, and contribute to a more general understanding of the social and cultural conditions under which innovations fail and succeed.

Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age

A new and empowering way of looking at and organizing social change! How can we move from serving soup until our elbows ache to solving chronic social ills like hunger or homelessness? How can we break the disastrous cycle of low expectations that leads to chronic social failures? The answers to these questions lie within Momentum, a fresh, zestful way of thinking about and organizing social change work. Today's digital tools—including but not limited to e-mail, the Web, cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), even iPods—promote interactivity and connectedness. But as Momentum shows, these new social media tools are important not for their wizardry but because they connect us to one another in inexpensive, accessible, and massively scalable ways.

Momentum Trading on the Indian Stock Market (SpringerBriefs in Economics)

This study is an exploration of the Indian stock market, focusing on the possible presence of momentum trading. One thing, however, should be noted. While it is true that momentum trading, which tends to generate speculative bubbles, may result in a financial market crash, its nature in contrast might depend on the nature of the economy itself. The study, while exploring the presence and nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market in recent years, seeks to relate it to significant structural breaks in the Indian or global economy. To be precise, it outlines a potential correlation between the instability in the stock market and the speculative trading on the market, exploring the question of whether it is human psychology that drives financial markets. In the process, the choice of a significant structural break has been obvious: the global financial meltdown of 2007-2008 – a crisis that has often been referred to as the worst ever since the crash of 1929. While analyzing the nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market with regard to the financial crisis of 2007-08, the study takes into account two major representatives of the market, the BSE (Bombay Stock Index) and NSE (National Stock Index), for the period 2005 to 2012. This study seeks to answer a few important questions. First of all, it tries to unveil the underlying structure of the market. In doing so, it examines the following issues: (i) What was the latent structure of the Indian stock market leading up to the crisis of 2007-08? Does the structure offer insights into designing profitable trading strategies? (ii) Is it possible to construct a profitable portfolio on the Indian stock market? (iii) Is there any profitable trading strategy on the Indian stock market? While exploring these issues, the study delves deeper, breaking the whole period down into two sub-periods, before the crisis of 2008 and after the crisis. The purpose of this division is to determine whether there has been any discernible change in the market structure since the shock.

Mondo Agnelli: Fiat, Chrysler, and the Power of a Dynasty

The fascinating story of a century-old automobile dynasty Fiat is one of the world's largest automakers, but when it made headlines by grabbing control of a bankrupt Chrysler in 2009 it was unknown in the U.S. Fiat’s against-all-odds swoop on Chrysler---masterminded by Sergio Marchionne, the Houdini-like manager who saved Fiat from its own near-collapse in 2005 – has made the automaker one of the most unlikely winners of the financial crisis. Mondo Agnelli is a new book that looks at the chain of unpredictable events triggered by the death of Gianni Agnelli in 2003. Gianni, the charismatic, silver-haired power broker and style icon, was the patriarch who had lead the company founded by his grandfather in 1899. But Gianni's own son had committed suicide. Without a mature heir, the dynasty and Fiat were rudderless. Backed by Gianni's closest advisors, his serious, shy, and determined grandson John plucked Marchionne from obscurity. Together, they saved the family company and, inadvertently, positioned Fiat as a global trailblazer when the global storm hit. A classic story of ingenuity and hard work, the book portrays a business dynasty that triumphed over adversity and family tragedy because of its own smarts, sweat, and ability to bend the rules A an engaging tale for those interested in the stories behind the economic crash, the book contains never-before reported material about how Fiat succeeded in making Chrysler profitable where both Daimler AG and Cerberus, its previous owners, had failed. A story for a wide audience, from car buffs, business readers, lovers of Italy, and anyone fascinated by the lifestyle of Europe's most glamorous industrial dynasty, this book tells the tale of how Fiat achieved the seemingly impossible -- turning around an American automotive icon everyone else had given up for dead.

MONET & FISCAL POLICY THR A DSGE LENS C

In Monetary and Fiscal Policy Through a DSGE Lens, Harold L. Cole develops and extends versions of a classic quantitative model of economic growth to take on a wide range of topics in monetary and fiscal policy. Bridging the gap between current undergraduate and graduate texts in the field, this comprehensive book covers the basic elements of advanced macroeconomics and equips readers to understand the debate on key policy questions. By using the simple DSGE, or dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, framework to build a series of quantitative models, the book combines a gradual introduction to advanced analytic methods with computer programming and quantitative policy analysis. In a clear discussion of the sophisticated interaction between theory and data, Cole explains how to gauge how well a model captures key elements in the data and how to reverse engineer a model to data. The book covers costs of inflation, optimal monetary policy, the impact of labor and capital taxes, and optimal fiscal policy. It systematically discusses technical material including the new Keynesian liquidity shock models, standard analytic methods, such as Lagrangian methods, and computational methods using Matlab and Python. With a strong computational emphasis, the volume teaches how to program up and solve systems of non-linear equations and develop models to study the macroeconomy. Knowing how to deeply understand and analyze models and develop computational code to evaluate the implications of those models is essential for students of macroeconomics. This book connects the standard undergraduate material to the elaborate models of advanced graduate courses with systematic and logical coverage of the basics of advanced modern macroeconomics.

Monetäre Anreize in Kundenkartenprogrammen: Ein feldexperimenteller Ansatz (Kundenmanagement & Electronic Commerce)

Monetäre Anreize in Kundenbindungsprogrammen wirken sich positiv auf die Bindung von Kunden an einen Anbieter aus. Zu diesem Schluss kommt der Autor in der als Feldexperiment ausgelegten Studie mit Teilnehmern eines realen Kundenkartenprogramms in enger Zusammenarbeit mit einer bedeutenden deutschen Drogeriemarktkette. Es wurden nicht nur systematisch die Anreizhöhe und Eigenschaften des inzentivierten Produkts variiert, sondern auf der Basis einer Umfrage zu Einstellungsgrößen und des Rückgriffs auf objektive Verhaltensdaten überprüft, ob dadurch die Kundenbindung in Form von Zufriedenheit, Commitment, Involvement oder Transaktionen beeinflusst wird. In einer zusätzlichen Befragung von Laufkundschaft am Point of Sale untersucht der Autor, inwiefern sich Teilnehmer sowie Nichtteilnehmer an Kundenkartenprogrammen in ihrer Bindung an einen Anbieter unterscheiden.

Monetäre Integration: Bestandsaufnahme und Weiterentwicklung der neueren Theorie (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Beiträge #181)

Das anhaltende Interesse an der Theorie monetärer Integration ist einerseits dem europäischen Einigungsprozeß zu verdanken, andererseits der Instabilität des Weltwährungssystems seit dem Zusammenbruch der Bretton-Woods-Vereinbarung. Die vorherrschende Theorie des optimalen Währungsraumes hat sich jedoch angesichts neuerer Entwicklungen in der Theorie der Wirtschaftspolitik sowie in der Theorie des Wechselkurses als zu eng und methodisch fragwürdig erwiesen. Das Buch gibt einen umfassenden, auch für Angehörige anderer sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen gut lesbaren Überblick über den Stand der Forschung zur monetären Integration im allgemeinen und zur europäischen Währungsintegration im besonderen. Es gibt darüber hinaus Anregungen für weiterführende Untersuchungen, z.B. zur Rolle der Arbeitsmarktverfassungen oder der Fiskal- und der Sozialpolitik.

Monetäre Modelle der Wechselkurserklärung (Gabler Edition Wissenschaft)

Christian Dreger untersucht das Verhalten der wichtigsten Wechselkurse nach dem Zusammenbruch des Bretton-Woods-Systems auf der Basis monetärer Modelle. Als Hauptinstrument der Analyse dient die Technik kointegrierter Prozesse.

Monetäre Strategien zur Stabilisierung der Weltwirtschaft (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Beiträge #114)

Anhand eines symmetrischen Zwei-Länder-Modells wird untersucht, welche soziale Wohlfahrt, bestimmt durch die mittlere Inflationsrate und die Absorptionsfähigkeit von Schocks, verschiedene monetäre Strategien hervorrufen. Als monetäre Strategien werden zunächst unkoordinierte und koordinierte diskretionäre Geldpolitik, eine international abgestimmte Nominaleinkommensregel und international abgestimmte 'konservative' Geldpolitik betrachtet und miteinander verglichen. Sie erweisen sich alle der anschließend betrachteten bedingten Strategie unterlegen. Diese sieht vor, daß die Länder 'konservative' Notenbankchefs ernennen, die zur Verfolgung eines Nominaleinkommensziels verpflichtet werden beim Auftreten symmetrischer Schocks.

Monetäre Transmissionsmechanismen in realen Konjunkturmodellen (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Beiträge #161)

Mit einem Überblick über Erweiterungen realer Konjunkturmodelle um steigende Skalenerträge und monetäre Aspekte beginnt das Buch. Die existierenden Ansätze weisen Probleme auf, die teilweise auf konzeptioneller Ebene zu suchen sind, teilweise auch die empirische Relevanz der Modellimplikationen betreffen. In weiteren werden zwei neue Modelle entwickelt, die die Transmission nichtantizipierter Geldgebotsschocks auf die reale Späre einer Ökonomie erklären können. Diese Modelle zeichnen sich dadurch aus, daß sie wichtige stilisierte Fakten wie die Mean-reversion des Sozialprodukts als Folge eines transitorischen Technologieschocks reproduzieren können, wozu vergleichbare Modelle nicht in der Lage sind.

Monetäre und nicht monetäre Erträge von Weiterbildung: Monetary and non-monetary effects of adult education and training (Edition ZfE #7)

Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen monetäre und nicht-monetäre Erträge von Weiterbildung, die sich auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, im Einkommen oder auch im zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagement zeigen. Trotz der thematischen und institutionellen Vielfalt der Weiterbildung und der Unterschiedlichkeit der damit einhergehenden Erwartungen stellen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren der Herausforderung, kausale Wirkungszusammenhänge zu identifizieren. Impulse dafür bietet der Vergleich der vorgestellten internationalen Analysen.

Monetarisierung von technischen Daten: Innovationen aus Industrie und Forschung

Die Monetarisierung von Daten ist per se ein sehr junges Thema, zu dem es nur sehr vereinzelt Fallbeispiele gibt. Es fehlt an einer Strategie bzw. einem Konzept, das Führungskräften den Weg in die Monetarisierung von Daten zeigt, insbesondere jenen, die die Digitale Transformation bzw. Industrie 4.0 für sich entdeckt haben oder davon bedroht sind. Weil Maschinendaten meist unstrukturiert und ohne Domänenwissen/Metadaten nicht verwertbar sind, birgt die Monetarisierung von Maschinendaten ein noch nicht abschließend bewertbares Potenzial. Um dieses Potenzial greifbar zu machen, werden in diesem Werk neben Beiträgen aus der Wissenschaft auch Praxisbeispiele aus der Industrie beschrieben. Anhand von unterschiedlichen Beispielen aus diversen Branchen kann der Leser bereits heute Teil einer zukünftigen Datenökonomie werden. Mehrwerte und Nutzen werden konkret beschrieben.

Monetarism in the United Kingdom

Monetarism or Prosperity?

The Monetarists: The Making of the Chicago Monetary Tradition, 1927–1960

An essential origin story of modern society’s most influential economic doctrine. The Chicago School of economic thought has been subject to endless generalizations—and mischaracterizations—in contemporary debate. What is often portrayed as a monolithic obsession with markets is, in fact, a nuanced set of economic theories born from decades of research and debate. The Monetarists is a deeply researched history of the monetary policies—and personalities—that codified the Chicago School of monetary thought from the 1930s through the 1960s. These policies can be characterized broadly as monetarism: the belief that prices and interest rates can be kept stable by controlling the amount of money in circulation. As economist George S. Tavlas makes clear, these ideas were more than just the legacy of Milton Friedman; they were a tradition in theory brought forth by a crucible of minds and debates throughout campus. Through unprecedented mining of archival material, The Monetarists offers the first complete history of one of the twentieth century’s most formative intellectual periods and places. It promises to elevate our understanding of this doctrine and its origins for generations to come.
