Historians and economists will find here what their fields have in common - the movement since the 1950s known variously as 'cliometrics', 'economic history', or 'historical economics'. A leading figure in the movement, Donald McCloskey, has compiled, with the help of George Hersh and a panel of distinguished advisors, a highly comprehensive bibliography of historical economics covering the period up until 1980.

Florian Wolff analyses how executives perceive their stock options and how their personal expectations and risk preferences affect the value they assign to them. He shows that stock options may be worth their money because people behave irrationally.
1. Problemstellung Auf eine Veränderung der Nachfrage der Konsumenten muß der Einzelhändler notwendigerweise über kurz oder lang mit entsprechenden Anpassungen seiner Einkaufstätigkeit reagieren. Der Absatz der Lieferanten des Einzelhandels wird damit ebenfalls von einer Änderung der Endnachfrage beeinflußt; sie wirkt sich demnach in mehr oder weniger starkem Maße auf jede der vorgelagerten Handels und Produktionsstufen aus.
