Global Imbalances, Financial Crises, and Central Bank Policies assesses the relationships between global imbalances, financial crises, and central bank policies, with a specific focus on their reserves. The book contains a strictly international perspective with an analysis based on empirical research that enables the reader to develop an analytical model that emphasizes interactions among individual central banks. With this innovative approach, the book develops a new method for defining an optimal demand for reserves. In addition, the book describes implications for financial reforms that might ultimately be more important than its empirical findings. - Presents a systematic account of the relationship between the build-up of reserves and central bank policies - Emphasizes a global view of currency reserves, which is usually ignored in analyses of their effect - Includes datasets as well as all illustrations and figures in online ancillary materials

Some 10,000,000 people perished from tropical diseases during World War I. Since that time these diseases, among them typhoid fever, malaria, and dysentery, have all been subjects in intensive research at the Hebrew University. Follow the bitter experience of World War I, and with the aid of the immense wealth of knowledge that had since been accumulated, the Allies joined forces during World War II and produced drugs to combat these scourges. The Hebrew University played an impressive role in this, placing both its scientists and its laboratories at the disposal of the war effort. Great quantities of vaccines were prepared in the University's laboratories, enabling the inoculation of tens of thousands of soldiers; physicians in the Allied forces took courses on tropical diseases at the University; some University scientists were mobilized and served at the front in special medical units, while others developed new equipment and rendered obsolete medical instruments reusable.

This three-volume encyclopedia, abridged from a 30-volume set in Hebrew and with a foreword by Elie Wiesel, chronicles Jewish life before and during the Holocaust. Arranged alphabetically by town, thousands of entries explore centuries of Jewish life. Some entries, particularly for large cities, provide information on Jewish residents as early as the Middle Ages and discuss the fate of Jews during the Black Death persecutions (1348-1349) and various pogroms from the 17th to 20th centuries. Each entry provides information on the town's Jewish inhabitants on the eve of German occupation, gives the dates of Jewish roundups and mass executions and estimates how many Jews from that community survived the war. Includes more than 600 black-and-white photographs.
