Inhalt: Global excess liquidity is sometimes believed to limit sovereign monetary policy even in large economies, including the euro area. There is much discussion about what constitutes global excess liquidity and our approach adjusts liquidity for longer-term interest rate and output effects. We find that especially excess liquidity in the U.S. leads developments in euro area liquidity. U.S. excess liquidity also enters consistently positive as a determinant of euro area inflation. There is some evidence that this result may be related to a weakening of the effectiveness of monetary policy in the euro area during times of excessive U.S. liquidity

Inhalt: Major technology shifts do not happen overnight and rarely are they the result of a single breakthrough discovery. Nowhere is this more true than for the broad set of enabling technologies that we have come to simply call ""nanotechnology"". Rather than standing on the shoulders of a few intellectual giants, nanotechnologies are created by tens of thousands of researchers and scientists working on minute and sometimes arcane aspects of their fields of expertise in areas as diverse as medicine, telecommunications, solar cells, filtration, coatings, or ever smaller transistors for electronic dev

Inhalt: Im späten 10. Jh. verfasste ein anonymer Autor, wohl in Konstantinopel, das fiktive Protokoll eines Religionsgesprächs zwischen dem Erzbischof Gregentios und dem jüdischen Schriftgelehrten Herban. Das Gespräch soll in Taphar im Jemen zur Zeit der christlichen Mission am Anfang des 6. Jh. stattgefunden haben. Es ist eingebettet in eine ebenso fiktive hagiographische Vita des Helden, in der verschiedene Quellen des 6. bis 9. Jh. verarbeitet sind - darunter auch eine, die sonst unbekannte Nachrichten über die Zeit der äthiopischen Herrschaft im Jemen vor dem Einbruch des Islam enthält. Diese Texte, zu denen noch die angeblich von Gregentios im Jemen erlassenen Gesetze treten, werden von Albrecht Berger ausführlich untersucht, auf der Basis aller bekannten Handschriften kritisch ediert und übersetzt. Für einen großen Teil dieses Corpus handelt es sich dabei um die erste Edition überhaupt.

Inhalt: A prototype is a design mock-up allowing web and software designers to explore usability, design alternatives, and test theories prior to starting production. It is recognized as a key development step, but budget cuts, deadlines, and lack of access to sophisticated tools commonly lead to sloppy, ineffective prototyping. Excel offers a simple, inexpensive way to create successful prototypes - this book illustrates how anyone can use basic Excel skills to create them. Excel is available to nearly everyone, and most are proficient in its basic functionality. Now they have a step-by-step

Inhalt: Much as we hate to admit it, most prototyping practice lacks a sophisticated understanding of the broad concepts of prototyping-and its strategic position within the development process. Often we overwhelm with a high fidelity prototype that designs us into a corner. Or, we can underwhelm with a prototype with too much ambiguity and flexibility to be of much use in the software development process. This book will help software makers-developers, designers, and architects-build effective prototypes every time: prototypes that convey enough information about the product at the appropriat

Serie: IMF working paper ; WP/06/281

Inhalt: This paper analyzes empirically differences in the size of central bank boards across countries. Defining a board as the body that changes monetary instruments to achieve a specified target, we discuss the possible determinants of a board's size. The empirical relevance of these factors is examined using a new dataset that covers the de jure membership size of 84 central bank boards at the end of 2003. We find that larger and more heterogeneous countries, countries with stronger democratic institutions, countries with floating exchange rate regimes, and independent central banks with more staff tend to have larger boards.

Serie: World economic and financial surveys

Inhalt: Europe is in a deep recession. Adverse feedback between the financial and real sectors and across borders is likely to delay the recovery and create downside risks. Unprecedented policies have been undertaken to address the crisis-but are they likely to be successful and sufficiently coordinated for a tightly integrated region? To restore trust and confidence in financial markets, additional and forceful action will be essential. Maintaining fiscal support should help soften the downturn, in particular if sustainability is supported by solid medium-term strategies and fiscal frameworks. To be effective, these policies require coordination across advanced and emerging economies. The report's analytical work underpins the link between fiscal sustainability, coordination, and effectiveness, and stresses that emerging markets have been affected differently by the crisis, with the quality of policies and external vulnerabilities being key factors.

Inhalt: This study explores the effects of labor and product market deregulation on employment growth. Our empirical results, based on an OECD country panel from 1990-2004, suggest that lower levels of product and labor market regulation foster employment growth, including through sizable interaction effects. Based on these findings, the paper develops a theoretical framework for evaluating deregulation strategies in the presence of reform costs. Optimal deregulation takes various forms depending on the deregulation costs, the strength of reform interactions, and the perspective of the policymaker. Unless deregulation costs are very asymmetric across markets, optimal deregulation requires some form of coordination.
