Main description: Die fundamentalen Probleme der Wirtschaftskrise in den späten 20er und frühen 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts bleiben nach wie vor eine intellektuelle Herausforderung. Wie kaum ein anderes Datum der jüngsten Weltgeschichte hat der "Schwarze Donnerstag" des 24. Oktober 1929 den Glauben an die Rationalität der Märkte erschüttert und deren Verwundbarkeit aufgezeigt.

Referring to Darfur, the Prosecutor of the ICC noted in 2008 that, although he had indicted a few individuals, 'the information gathered points to an ongoing pattern of crimes committed with the mobilisation of the wohle state apparatus' ...

The New Trade Theory predicts that international trade lowers prices for consumers and expands the choices available to them. This study shows that both predictions may no longer hold once adjustments in the retail sector are taken into account. I present a new model of retailing in general equilibrium and explore its implications for a number of different shocks. The results demonstrate that retail assortments may remain constant if consumers have a low preference for diversity, and that consumer prices can even rise if the retail density is sufficiently low.
