As we see a rise in the conversation regarding diversity across social media, the fashion industry is simultaneously driving a discourse around inclusion and the preconceived ideas of the "ideal" and body diversity. What has been a predominantly Western European and American response will be examined via current advertising campaigns and runway shows hosted by established fashion companies, (e.g. Gucci, Max Mara, Bottega Veneta, Aerie, Rio Uribe, and others) providing context for the socio-cultural evolution within the fashion industry.

A medida que aumenta la discusión con respecto a la diversidad a través de las redes sociales, la industria de la moda está impulsando simultáneamente un discurso sobre la inclusión y las ideas preconcebidas de lo "ideal" y la diversidad corporal. Lo que ha sido una respuesta predominantemente de Europa occidental y Estados Unidos, se examinará a través de campañas de publicidad actuales y desfiles organizados por compañías de moda establecidas (por ejemplo, Gucci, Max Mara, Bottega Veneta, Aerie, Rio Uribe y otros) que proporcionan contexto para la evolución sociocultural en la industria de la moda.

The areas of economic policy dealing with the allocation of production factors capital and labour have always had a prominent position in empirical economics even long before the latest international financial and economic turmoil. However, the slow pace of economic recovery in some hard-hit South European economies, in spite of a continued low interest rate policy and initiated labour market reforms, has brought the effectiveness of monetary policy and labour market policy to the fore. Most of the empirical studies in this field address the effect of factor market policy on production indicators, while the present dissertation approaches the issue of effectiveness from a different angle and focusses on price transmission as an assessment of economic policy measures. By using a microeconomic model, it can be shown that price developments on downstream markets reflect adverse impacts of factor market policy. Accordingly, the impact of monetary policy is evaluated by the transmission of bank's refinancing costs to loan prices, while the labour market policy's impact is evaluated by the transmission of regulated labour costs to product prices. The effectiveness of monetary policy is assessed on the basis of the conventional and unconventional ECB measures aiming at the restoration of the monetary transmission mechanism. In the bank-dominated European financial system a high interest rate pass-through to loan rates reflects a high effectiveness of monetary policy as it reveals that bank lending and therefore the real economy is stimulated by monetary policy. The effectiveness of labour market policy is assessed by introducing minimum wages in the German construction sector, which aimed at the protection against foreign competition and retaining employment. In this case, a high pass-through from regulated wages to product prices reflects negative adverse effects because - assuming unchanged demand and ordinary goods - rising prices as a consequence to raised minimum wages indicates reduced output and employment. The econometric modelling of the interest rate pass-through mechanism suggests a complete decoupling between ECB key interest and loan rates in the hard-hit countries during the peak of European debt crises. The interest rate link could only be re-established after the extensive liquidity provision was additionally flanked by a negative deposit facility rate. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ECB temporarily waived the opportunity of effectively controlling loan markets in favour of supporting struggling banks and sovereign debt markets. The econometric analysis of the price pass-through mechanism following wage regulations in the German construction sector suggests adverse effects in form of declining production and employment in East Germany. In West Germany, the absence of any significant product price reaction indicates that the implemented minimum wage in West Germany was too low in comparison to the predominantly paid wages and hence had no effect. This asymmetry of effects can be traced back to the leveraging role of the West German construction employers' association in the minimum wage bargaining committee. It appears that West German construction industry successfully protected itself from inner German competition by reducing the East German labour cost advantage.

"Auf der Basis einer Modellrechnung wird untersucht, ob sich ein Studium finanziell lohnt. Gemessen wird dabei die Differenz der erzielbaren Lebenseinkommen mit und ohne Hochschulstudium im gehobenen und höheren Dienst." (Autorenreferat)

The advent of the big statistical packages has in recent years lead to a de-facto standardization of numerical data: as all the large-scale statistical systems accept roughly the same input conventions, the exchange of date between them has become increasingly easy. Text based, data base related or image oriented projects in history do not, so far, share that benefit: her the exchange of data between individual projects and the utilisation of data prepared by other projects is still a major problem. This paper considers a system for easy transformations of formats between various software environments. While the following considerations are independent of the currently much discussed Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) the might be seen as the implementation of a tool, which could handle the standards which are proposed there, eases, however, also the transformation between text base and data environments.
