Verborgen, unsichtbar, unlesbar – zur Problematik restringierter Schriftpräsenz
Aus neuzeitlicher Perspektive ist die Präsenz von Schrift an deren Sichtbarkeit und Lesbarkeit gekoppelt. Ist diese Vorannahme schon an sich fragwürdig, so ist sie für Schriftpraktiken vormoderner Zeiten, bei denen gerade das Verbergen und Verhüllen eine große Rolle spielten, kaum haltbar. Das Ziel des Bandes ist es, die Kategorie der „restringierten Schriftpräsenz“ aus interdisziplinärer und transkultureller Perspektive kritisch zu hinterfragen.

Macro-econometric Models
Maria-Carmen Guisan, professor of Econometrics, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain sets out in the footsteps of economists like Nobel Prize Laureate L R Klein, who pioneered macro-econometric modeling. Included are articles of eminent experts wh
Okun's Law
This paper asks how well Okun’s Law fits short-run unemployment movements in the United States since 1948 and in twenty advanced economies since 1980. We find that Okun’s Law isa strong and stable relationship in most countries, one that did not change substantiallyduring the Great Recession. Accounts of breakdowns in the Law, such as the emergence of“jobless recoveries,” are flawed. We also find that the coefficient in the relationship—the effect of a one percent change in output on the unemployment rate—varies substantially across countries. This variation is partly explained by idiosyncratic features of national labormarkets, but it is not related to differences in employment protection legislation.
Storm Clouds Ahead? Migration and Labor Force Participation Rates in Europe
The paper examines the potential effects of international migration on labor force participation in advanced economies in Europe. It documents that migration played a significant role in alleviating aging pressures on labor supply by affecting the age composition of receiving countries’ populations. However, micro-level analysis also points to differences in average educational levels, as well as differences in the effects of any given level of education on participation across migrants and natives. Difficulties related to the recognition of educational qualifications appear to be associated with smaller effects of education on the odds of participation for migrants, especially women.
