The Euro as a Stabilizer in the International Economic System
The introduction of the euro was an important event for the world economy and the international political system. For the first time in history, a substantial group of European countries-eleven of the fifteen members of the European Union including three members of the G-7-have voluntarily agreed to replace their national currencies with a single currency. The euro area has already become established as the second largest currency area in the world and will therefore become a major player in the international monetary system. The creation of the euro poses a number of interesting questions. Will the euro be a strong or a weak currency? Will the euro challenge the leading position hitherto he...

Heterogeneity in Macroeconomics and its Implications for Monetary Policy
Fabian Schnell develops a model indicating that by keeping real interest rates too low, monetary policy can distort the allocation of resources across firms and potentially delay economic recovery after a recession. This is a new channel of monetary policy that is especially relevant in view of “Quantitative Easing” programs. A second model focuses on the short-term implications of heterogeneously productive firms, showing an acceleration effect of technology shocks. Finally, an empirical investigation of firms’ price-setting behaviors shows that time-dependent factors, relative to state-dependent ones, play a small role with respect to the probability and the size of a price change. All results provide new insights for monetary policy.
Time in Marx
This book demonstrates that the basic concepts of the three volumes of Capital come under different categories of time: "time of production" in the first volume is linear, “time of circulation” in the second is circular, while in the third volume “organic time” is the unity of the two. Capitalist relations emerge as a definite organisation of social time that obeys its own intrinsic criteria and operates as an autonomous, social subject. Reading Capital from this perspective, it becomes possible to restore its dialectical (Hegelian) logic – not in order to reveal the “real” Marx, but as a means to contribute to the understanding of the real, capitalist world with its present-day fetishes, its explosive contradictions and its ever deeper crises.
Eigenverantwortung im Schweizer Gesundheitswesen
Die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen steigen von Jahr zu Jahr. Das Thema Eigenverantwortung spielt dabei eine prominente Rolle. Meist ist damit die Hoffnung verbunden, dass mehr Eigenverantwortung, insbesondere durch die Versicherten, dem Kostenanstieg entgegen wirken kann. Das Postulat nach mehr Eigenverantwortung entspricht dabei einerseits der modernen Betonung des Subjekts, weshalb die Verantwortung für die eigene Gesundheit als Freiheitsgewinn gegenüber einer professionalisierten und mehr an der Krankheit als am Menschen orientierten Medizin verstanden wird. Und andererseits dient die Forderung nach mehr Eigenverantwortung als Teil der gängigen Kritik am Sozialstaat und seinen angeblich "überholten kollektivistischen und paternalistischen Ideologien". Die vorliegende Untersuchung bietet für den praktischen politischen Diskurs zur Eigenverantwortung im Gesundheitswesen in der Schweiz einen kritischen Beitrag aus sozialethischer Perspektive. Gestützt auf empirische Fakten und sozialwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse werden die unterschiedlichen Aspekte von Eigenverantwortung im Schweizer Gesundheitswesen beurteilt.
