Ein New-Economy-Effekt fĂŒr Deutschland?
Seit der zweiten HĂ€lfte der neunziger Jahre setzt sich mehr und mehr die These durch, dass mit den neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien ein neues âgoldenes" Zeitalter mit höheren ProduktivitĂ€ts- und Wachstumsraten angebrochen sei. Worauf beruht der so genannte Neue Ăkonomie-Effekt? Welche AlternativerklĂ€rungen existieren hierzu? Was ergibt sich hieraus fĂŒr die Wirtschaftspolitik? --
Die europĂ€ische Flexicurity-Strategie : ein Ăberblick zu wichtigen Vor- und Nachteilen. The European Flexicurity-Strategy : A Survey on Important Pros and Cons
The concept of flexicurity has been at the heart of the labour market and social policies at the European level. The concept aims at achieving an appropriate balance between employment security and labour market flexibility on the labour markets in the European Union. This survey describes the main elements of the current debate. The paper highlights the original debate with respect to the main advantages and disadvantages of this strategy. Moreover, the question has to be posed, whether the effects of the recent financial crisis and its effects on the real economy will necessitate a thorough revision of this strategy. Alternatively, one may ask if we can fina an economically sound consensus on the concept of flexicurity.Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik, Flexicurity, EuropÀische Union, Europa 2020, Finanzmarktkrise, Labour Market and Social Policies, Flexicurity, European Union, Europe 2020, Financial Crisis

Nudging als politisches Instrument - gute Absicht oder staatlicher Ăbergriff?
Die Verhaltensökonomie und ihre praktischen Implikationen geraten immer stĂ€rker in den Fokus auch der deutschen Politik. Individuelle Entscheidungen sollen im Sinne eines âlibertĂ€ren Paternalismusâ âsanftâ beeinflusst werden. Die âNudgesâ bestehen in Standardvorgaben, Selbstbindungen und der Informationsbereitstellung. Deren Anwendung setzt allerdings die KlĂ€rung einiger Fragen voraus: Wer darf sich anmaĂen, fĂŒr die Wirtschaftssubjekte âklugeâ Entscheidungen zu treffen? Bei welchen Entscheidungen sind Eingriffe einer anderen Instanz begrĂŒndbar? Mit welchem Zeithorizont und aufgrund welcher WohlfahrtsĂŒberlegungen wird eine Entscheidung als ârichtigâ definiert? Welcher RationalitĂ€tsbegriff steht hinter dem Konzept

Middepth circulation of the eastern tropical South Pacific and its link to the oxygen minimum zone
There is an incomplete description of the mid-depth circulation and its link to the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the eastern tropical South Pacific. Subsurface currents of the OMZ in the eastern tropical South Pacific are investigated with a focus at 400 m depth, close to the core of the OMZ, using several Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler sections recorded in January and February 2009. Five profiling floats with oxygen sensors were deployed along 85°50âW in February 2009 with a drift depth at 400 m. Their spreading paths are compared with the model flow field from a 1/10° Tropical Pacific model (TROPAC01) and the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) model. Overall the
mean currents in the eastern tropical South Pacific are weak so that eddy variability influences the flow and ultimately feed oxygen-poor water to the OMZ. The center of
the OMZ is a stagnant area so that floats stay much longer in this region and can even reverse direction. In one case of one float deployed at 8°S returned to the same location
after 15 month. On the northern side of the OMZ in the equatorial current system, floats move rapidly to the west. Most current bands reported for the near surface layer exist
also in the depth range of the OMZ. A schematic circulation flow field for the OMZ core depth is derived which shows the northern part of the South Pacific subtropical gyre
south of the OMZ and the complicated zonal equatorial flow field north of the OMZ
