Abstract

Government leaders need high-quality and responsive advice to make informed decisions, particularly to help restore long-term economic growth. Indeed, in many countries ministerial advisors are appointed primarily in order to increase the responsiveness of government and help address strategic challenges faced by government leaders. At the same time, their sheer number and the opacity surrounding their status have prompted widespread concern. These are two findings that emerged from an OECD survey in 2010 into the work of ministerial advisors across 27 countries. This report examines the survey’s findings in order to better understand the important role advisors play and how they are managed. It considers why ministers use their services, how they are appointed, the special status they enjoy, the concerns they have prompted in the general public, and how reform may make them more accountable  and improve the transparency of their status.

Abstract

Was ist Beratung und wie funktioniert sie? Adrian Steiner gibt Antwort auf diese Fragen, indem er die formalen und funktionalen Merkmale einer idealtypischen Beratung festhält und dadurch den Blick auf die Qualität realer Beratungen ermöglicht. Wie beratend ist die Beratungspraxis tatsächlich? Diese Frage wird am Beispiel der Politikberatung ausführlich diskutiert. »Beratung« erweist sich als hochgradig neurotischer Begriff, der den fundamentalen Konflikt zwischen Anspruch (Reflexion) und Realität (Legitimation) widerspiegelt. Besprochen in: politik&kommunikation, 11 (2009) Die öffentliche Verwaltung, 12/6 (2010), Peter Nagel

Abstract

In theory, financial professionals are relatively distinct: A broker conducts transactions in securities on behalf of others; a dealer buys and sells securities for his or her own accounts; and an investment adviser provides advice to others regarding securities. Broker-dealers and investment advisers are subject to different regulatory structures. But trends in the financial services market since the early 1990's have blurred the boundaries between them. Regulatory reform requires a clearer understanding of the industry's complexities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked RAND

Abstract

Dieses Buch analysiert die Praxis der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung mit den Mitteln der Theorie der Interaktionssysteme und der Professionssoziologie. Dazu wird das beratende Handeln als soziale Beziehung gefasst, die sich als ein professionalisierungsbedürftiges Arbeitsbündnis darstellt. Die Studie macht zum einen die strukturellen Probleme dieser Praxis deutlich und zeigt zum anderen, wie mit diesen Schwierigkeiten umgegangen werden kann, so dass die wissenschaftliche Beratung erfolgreich verläuft. Sie trägt zur Klärung des Beratungs-Begriffs ebenso bei wie zu einem besseren Verständnis der Praxis wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung. »[Die Studie bietet] eine ganze Reihe von (teilweise gut versteckten) Anregungen für die konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung von Beratungsforschung, auf die gerade auch die Politikwissenschaft nicht verzichten sollte.« Thomas Krumm, Politische Vierteljahresschrift, 51/3 (2010)

Abstract

Lithuania’s current credit cycle highlights the strong link between housing prices and credit. We explore this relationship in more detail by analyzing the main features of credit, housing price, and output cycles in Baltic and Nordic countries during1995-2017. We find a high degree of synchronization between Lithuania’s credit and housing price cycles. Panel regressions show a strong correlation between a credit upturn and housing price upturn. Moreover, panel VAR suggests that shocks in housing prices, credit, and output within and outside Lithuania strongly impact Lithuania’s credit.
