This paper develops a theory of international currency portfolios that holds in general equilibrium, and that is therefore not subject to the criticisms directed at the portfolio balance literature of the 1980s. It shows that, under plausible assumptions about fiscal policy, the relationship between the rates of return of different currency bonds is not correctly described by an arbitrage relationship but instead also depends on outstanding bond stocks. Other findings are: (1) There is a monotonically increasing relationship between domestic interest rates and the portfolio share of domestic c

Classical political theorists such as Thucydides, Kant, Rousseau, Smith, Hegel, Grotius, Mill, Locke and Clausewitz are often employed to explain and justify contemporary international politics and are seen to constitute the different schools of thought in the discipline. However, traditional interpretations frequently ignore the intellectual and historical context in which these thinkers were writing as well as the lineages through which they came to be appropriated in International Relations. This 2006 collection of essays provides alternative interpretations sensitive to these political and intellectual contexts and to the trajectory of their appropriation. The political, sociological, anthropological, legal, economic, philosophical and normative dimensions are shown to be constitutive, not just of classical theories, but of international thought and practice in the contemporary world. Moreover, they challenge traditional accounts of timeless debates and schools of thought and provide new conceptions of core issues such as sovereignty, morality, law, property, imperialism and agency

Well-known empirical puzzles in international macroeconomics concern the large divergence of equilibrium outcomes for consumption across countries from the predictions of models with full risk sharing. It is commonly believed that these risk-sharing puzzles are related to another empirical puzzle-the home-bias in equity puzzle. However, we show in a series of dynamic models that the full risk sharing equilibrium may not require much diversification of equity portfolios when there is price stickiness of the degree typically calibrated in macroeconomic models. This conclusion holds under a range

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. Die "Große Depression" des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts als - fatales - Ergebnis eines Versuchs zu werten, das Rad der Geschichte zurückzudrehen und mit Kontrolle, Protektionismus, Nationalismus und Autarkie dem freien Verkehr von Waren, Kapitalströmen und nicht zuletzt Menschen zu begegnen, ist eine der Botschaften dieses Bandes.
