Volume 22 of Research in Economic History contains six papers. Three are on agriculture and two on macro issues related to the Great Depression. A concluding paper examines trends in interstate migration in the United States.Fred Pryor begins the volume with a provocative exploration of the degree to which the Neolithic revolution was in fact revolutionary. Pryor argues for a considerably lesser break with the past than has been commonly asserted. He maintains, in particular, that hunter-gatherer methods of procuring subsistence persisted alongside a continuum of agricultural practices. His ev

The series is designed to bring together those mathematicians who are seriously interested in getting new challenging stimuli from economic theories with those economists who are seeking effective mathematical tools for their research. A lot of economic problems can be formulated as constrained optimizations and equilibration of their solutions. Various mathematical theories have been supplying economists with indispensable machineries for these problems arising in economic theory. Conversely, mathematicians have been stimulated by various mathematical difficulties raised by economic theories.

The Washington Conference regulated the inter-war naval race between the world powers. In the era when it was still believed that battleships were the epitome of naval power and a sign of a country's strength, this conference led to limitations on the building of such weapons by the naval powers of Britain, the USA and Japan. This collection of essays deals with many aspects of the conference; the factors that caused it, the interests of the participating nations both present and future, and the results

Dieses Buch gibt anhand von 22 Autoren und 22 ihnen zugeordneten Begriffen einen Überblick über das heute vorhandene Grundlagenwissen zur sprachlichen Interaktionsanalyse. Diejeweils in einem Kapitel besprochenen Autoren umfassen neben Linguisten (z.B. Bühler, Benveniste) auch Klassiker der Soziologie (z.B. Weber, Sacks), der Kulturtheorie (z.B. Vološinov) und der Sprachphilosophie (z.B. Wittgenstein, Austin); dazu kommen wichtige Autoren aus jüngerer Zeit (z.B. Bourdieu, Luckmann, Hymes, Geertz). Trotz dieser interdisziplinären Orientierung bleibt der Bezug auf sprachwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen erhalten. Das Spektrum der Grundbegriffe umfasst Konzepte wie Handeln, Sprechakt, Kultur, Intertextualität, Subjektivität, Performanz und Gattung.

Die Bedeutung und Effektivität des Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetzes entscheidet sich anhand der Beweislastverteilung. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem prozessualen Herzstück des AGG (§ 22) und klärt anhand dieser Norm die zahlreichen offenen Fragen zur Beweislast bei Benachteiligungen. Der Autor vergleicht die Vorschrift mit anerkannten Instituten des Beweisrechts, überprüft bestehende Auslegungsansätze und entwickelt die These, dass § 22 AGG eine gesetzliche widerlegliche Tatsachenvermutung darstellt. Dabei werden die Auswirkungen dieser These differenziert nach den verschiedenen Benachteiligungsformen des § 3 AGG untersucht. Im Vordergrund stehen dabei auch die Besonderheiten der Beweislastverteilung bei mittelbaren Benachteiligungen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet die Untersuchung des Anwendungsbereiches des § 22 AGG. Thematisiert wird die Beweissituation bei Beendigung eines Arbeitsverhältnisses, bei Ansprüchen außerhalb des AGG und auch bei Ansprüchen von Betriebsräten, Gewerkschaften sowie Antidiskriminierungsverbänden. Zuletzt analysiert der Autor – auch für die Praxis – eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Tatsachen und ob diese Indizien im Sinne von § 22 AGG darstellen
