Als Grundlage sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Beziehungen ist Vertrauen sowohl in zwischenmenschlichen Interaktionen als auch im organisationalen Handeln von zentraler Bedeutung. Doch wie entsteht Vertrauen und welche Konsequenzen zieht ein Vertrauensverlust nach sich? Wie können Arbeitsbeziehungen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Vertrauen und Kontrolle bestmöglich gestaltet werden und welche Bedeutung hat politisches und institutionelles Vertrauen letztlich für das Funktionieren von Demokratie?Diese und weitere Fragen diskutieren die Autorinnen und Autoren des zweiten Bandes der Reihe "University-Society-Industry". Mit dreizehn disziplinübergreifenden Beiträgen bietet das Buch ein breites Spektrum zum Thema 'Vertrauen' und vereint Perspektiven aus Wissenschaft und Praxis. Der Schwerpunkt des ersten Teils liegt auf psychologischen und kulturellen Aspekten der Vertrauensbildung. Der zweite Teil des Bandes geht auf Vertrauensbildung im Kontext des organisationalen Wandels ein. Herausforderungen für Politik und Wirtschaft im Zusammenhang mit Vertrauenskrisen werden im dritten Teil diskutiert.

Following the recent publication of the award winning and much acclaimed The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, second edition which brings together Nobel Prize winners and the brightest young scholars to survey the discipline, we are pleased to announce The New Palgrave Economics Collection. Due to demand from the economics community these books address key subject areas within the field. Each title is comprised of specially selected articles from the Dictionary and covers a fundamental theme within the discipline. All of the articles have been specifically chosen by the editors of the Dictionary, Steven N. Durlauf and Lawrence E. Blume and are written by leading practitioners in the field. The Collections provide the reader with easy to access information on complex and important subject areas, and allow individual scholars and students to have their own personal reference copy.

Experimental Econophysics describes the method of controlled human experiments, which is developed by physicists to study some problems in economics or finance, namely, stylized facts, fluctuation phenomena, herd behavior, contrarian behavior, hedge behavior, cooperation, business cycles, partial information, risk management, and stock prediction. Experimental econophysics together with empirical econophysics are two branches of the field of econophysics. The latter one has been extensively discussed in the existing books, while the former one has been seldom touched. In this book, the author will focus on the branch of experimental econophysics. Empirical econophysics is based on the analysis of data in real markets by using some statistical tools borrowed from traditional statistical physics. Differently, inspired by the role of controlled experiments and system modelling (for computer simulations and/or analytical theory) in developing modern physics, experimental econophysics specially relies on controlled human experiments in the laboratory (producing data for analysis) together with agent-based modelling (for computer simulations and/or analytical theory), with an aim at revealing the general cause-effect relationship between specific parameters and emergent properties of real economic/financial markets. This book covers the basic concepts, experimental methods, modelling approaches, and latest progress in the field of experimental econophysics

Politikberatung ist in einer komplexen Umwelt nicht trivial. Versucht man mit theoretischen Modellen Politikfragen zu beantworten, sind die Modellvoraussetzungen entscheidend, aber oft nicht mit der Realität vereinbar. Der Sachverständigenrat setzt auf eine evidenzbasierte Politikberatung. Experimentelle Wirtschaftsforschung und Verhaltensökonomik können eine gute Beratung sinnvoll ergänzen. ; The work of political advisers becomes more and more important for the political decision-makers in a world of growing complexity. In the past, economic advice was primarily based on theoretical considerations. In the last two decades this has changed and now there is a dominance of evidence-based policy advice. In this paper it is argued that it is necessary not only to rely on conventional empirical evidence but also to take experimental and behavioral evidence into account.
