The Integration of International Financial Markets: An Attempt to Quantify Contagion in an Input-Output-Type Analysis

The increasing integration of international financial markets means that credit defaults in one country have to be covered by creditors in other countries.

The More Concentrated, the Better Represented? The Geographical Concentration of Immigrants and Their Descriptive Representation in the German Mixed-Member System

Does the geographical concentration of ethnic minorities influence their descriptive representation in closed-list systems? Counterintuitive to the idea that single-member district electoral rules are necessary for minorities’ geographical representation, we argue that, in closed-list systems, parties are incentivised to allocate promising list positions to those minority candidates who are based in ...

Call for Papers: Vierteljahrsheft zur Wirtschaftsforschung (Quarterly Journal of Economic Research)

European banking landscape between diversity, competition and concentration In ecology, bio-diverse systems are considered to be particularly resilient. Biodiversity increases the ability to absorb shocks as well as the likelihood of returning to stable conditions without external interventions.
