Abstract

Changes in the shape of the yield curve have traditionally been one of the key macroeconomic indicators of a likely change in economic outlook. However, the recent financial crises have created a challenge to the management of monetary policy, demanding a revision in the way that policymakers model expected changes in the economy. This volume brings together central bank economists and leading academic monetary economists to propose new methods for modelling the behaviour of interest rates. Topics covered include: the analysis and extraction of expectations of future monetary policy and inflation; the analysis of the short-term dynamics of money market interest rates; the reliability of existing models in periods of extreme market volatility and how to adjust them accordingly; and the role of government debt and deficits in affecting sovereign bond yields and spreads. This book will interest financial researchers and practitioners as well as academic and central bank economists.

Abstract

Superdiversiteit daagt ons uit om nieuwe vragen te stellen, over de toekomst en dus ook over het verleden. Het debat is verhit: niet alleen in de media, maar ook in de erfgoedpraktijk. Kunnen we het verleden wel delen in een samenleving met zo veel verschil? Moet erfgoed ons als gemeenschap verbinden of herschrijven we beter de geschiedenis? Kan erfgoed ooit inclusief zijn en musea ooit participatief?In het midden van een verhit debat doet historica Tina De Gendt een gewaagd voorstel: om de onderhandeling over het verleden radicaal te democratiseren. Vanuit haar ervaringen met De vierkante kilometer, een baanbrekend erfgoedproject van het STAM en de Erfgoedcel Gent, houdt ze een scherp pleidooi voor een moedige en hedendaagse erfgoedsector die een rol durft op te nemen voor een samenleving in transitie. Vertrekkend vanuit haar eigen praktijk reikt ze inzichten en concepten aan voor praktijkwerkers die met het verleden van superdiversiteit aan de slag gaan.https://www.lannoo.be/nl/ons-gedeeld-verleden

Reading and fiction in golden-age Spain : a Platonist critique and some picaresque replies

Abstract

In the Spanish Golden Age, the new literary mode of vernacular prose fiction was deplored by many authorities for setting bad examples, undermining reality by deceiving with lies, and persuading in the face of rational disbelief. Dr Ife here examines the connection between the objections posed to this fiction and those raised two thousand years earlier by Plato. This book shows how the aims and results of 'picaresque' novel writing in fact counter such objections. In a study of three sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spanish novels Dr Ife demonstrates that the authors consciously exploited their readers' response to a narrative in order to bring them to a clearer understanding of their own experience. In this way the very process of representation deplored by the Platonist critics may be regarded as having a moral validity of its own. Additional English translations are provided of all the key extracts studied.

Abstract

The Clash of Economic Ideas interweaves the economic history of the last hundred years with the history of economic doctrines to understand how contrasting economic ideas have originated and developed over time to take their present forms. It traces the connections running from historical events to debates among economists, and from the ideas of academic writers to major experiments in economic policy. The treatment offers fresh perspectives on laissez faire, socialism and fascism; the Roaring Twenties, business cycle theories and the Great Depression; Institutionalism and the New Deal; the Keynesian Revolution; and war, nationalization and central planning. After 1945, the work explores the postwar revival of invisible-hand ideas; economic development and growth, with special attention to contrasting policies and thought in Germany and India; the gold standard, the interwar gold-exchange standard, the postwar Bretton Woods system and the Great Inflation; public goods and public choice; free trade versus protectionism; and finally fiscal policy and public debt.
