The strange and contested evolution of the management of banking riskBanks in America are private institutions with private shareholders, boards of directors, profit motives, customers, and competitors. And yet the public plays a key role in deciding what risks are taken as well as how, when, and to what end. Public-private negotiations over financial governance has evolved into an essential ecosystem of banking risk management. In Private Finance, Public Power, Peter Conti-Brown and Sean Vanatta offer a new history of finance and public policy in the United States by examining the idiosyncratic way the nation manages financial risk across the public-private divide. Covering two centuries, from the founding of the Republic to the early 1980s, Conti-Brown and Vanatta describe the often-contested, sometimes chaotic, engagement of bankers, politicians, bureaucrats, and others in the overlapping spaces of the public-private system of bank supervision. Conti-Brown and Vanatta trace the different supervisory frameworks that evolved over time, from the imposition of private liability on bank shareholders to the development of the central bank to the creation of federal deposit insurance. Negotiations took place at federal and state levels, but, over time, the federal government assumed most of the responsibility for managing financial risk. Moreover, federal supervisory officials began to undertake more varied tasks, including monitoring racial discrimination and managing financial concentration. Conti-Brown and Vanatta introduce a diverse cast of characters-bankers, politicians, bureaucrats, and others-and show how they navigated two hundred years of financial panics, scandals, and crises to build the system that structures modern America's banking system.

How to use nonlinear dynamic models in policy analysis. Policymakers need quantitative as well as qualitative answers to pressing policy questions. Because of advances in computational methods, quantitative estimates are now derived from coherent nonlinear dynamic macroeconomic models embodying measures of risk and calibrated to capture specific characteristics of real-world situations. This text shows how such models can be made accessible and operational for confronting policy issues. The book starts with a simple setting based on market-clearing price flexibility. It gradually incorporates departures from the simple competitive framework in the form of price and wage stickiness, taxes, rigidities in investment, financial frictions, and habit persistence in consumption. Most chapters end with computational exercises; the Matlab code for the base model can be found in the appendix. As the models evolve, readers are encouraged to modify the codes from the first simple model to more complex extensions. Computational Macroeconomics for the Open Economy can be used by graduate students in economics and finance as well as policy-oriented researchers.

Die Dissertation untersucht die Entwicklung des Verantwortungseigentums insbesondere anhand der Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung unter Ernst Abbe. Der Begriff des Verantwortungseigentums wird seit einigen Jahren in der rechtspolitischen Debatte zu alternativen Unternehmens- und Eigentumsformen diskutiert. Dabei wird die Einführung einer eigenen Gesellschaftsform gefordert. Die Dissertation widmet sich diesen Forderungen und den Entwicklungen des Verantwortungseigentums anhand der Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung und ihrer Stiftungsbetriebe Zeiss und Schott.Dort wurde bereits Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts eine Form dessen, was Jurist:innen heute unter Verantwortungseigentum verstehen, kautelar-juristisch eingeführt und geprägt. Ziel und Zweck der Arbeit war es, die Überschneidungen, Parallelen und Unterschiede der Rechtssubjekte zu untersuchen und der Frage auf den Grund zu gehen, ob das Verantwortungseigentum einer längeren Rechtstradition folgt oder eine rein zeitgenössische Idee ist.
