Issues related to central banks feature regularly in economic news coverage, and in times of economic or financial crisis, especially when a commercial bank is bailed out, they become the focus of the policy debate. But what role do central banks play in a modern economy? How do central banks wield influence over the financial system and the broad economy? Through which channels does monetary policy impact macroeconomic fundamentals such as inflation or unemployment? For example, how does a central bank alter the money supply? What are the benefits of central bank independence, and what are the up- and downsides of having a common currency? This book provides easily accessible answers to these and other questions associated with central banking.

This book provides a history of Swiss banking not confined to stereotypical opinions about secret numbered accounts. Instead, the presented history covers other intriguing events and developments beyond the famous issue of banking secrecy and the corresponding scandals. Topics covered in the book include the early financial innovations by banks in Geneva to handle the sovereign risk on bonds issued in pre-revolutionary France, the monetary chaos that led to the creation of the Swiss franc, the rather peculiar banknote competition and free-banking system in Switzerland during most of the nineteenth century, how the country and its currency became a financial safe haven after World War I, the golden age of Swiss banking when Zurich was briefly one of the largest financial centres in the world, and the exceptional shocks during and after the recent global financial crisis. In sum, a fascinating story emerges about an internationally important banking centre in one of the most unlikely places in the world. This book is a must-read for students, scholars, and researchers of economics and finance, as well as practitioners interested in a better understanding of economic history in general, and Swiss banking in particular. .

Zentralbanken stehen mehr denn je im Zentrum des öffentlichen Interesses. Beim Auftreten von Wirtschaftskrisen, bei Turbulenzen im Währungssystem oder gar bei „finanziellen Rettungsaktionen“ für ganze Staaten treten sie sichtbar auf den Plan. In Politik, Medien und Finanzbranche finden aufgeregte Debatten über die Ausrichtung der Geld- und Währungspolitik statt: was können, was dürfen Zentralbanken und was nicht? In der Tat ist es nicht immer einfach nachzuvollziehen, wie eine Zentralbank überhaupt Einfluss auf die Gesamtwirtschaft nehmen kann: Wie steuert eine Zentralbank beispielsweise die Geldmenge? Über welche Kanäle beeinflusst die Geldpolitik relevante Wirtschaftsgrößen wie die Inflation oder die Konjunkturlage? Warum ist es überhaupt von Vorteil, eine unabhängige Zentralbank zu haben? Welches sind die Vor- und Nachteile einer Gemeinschaftswährung? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen gibt dieses Buch. Der Inhalt Kleine Geschichte der Zentralbanken Geld als Schmiermittel der Wirtschaft Geldpolitische Instrumente Lang- und kurzfristige Effekte der Geldpolitik Die Unabhängigkeit der Zentralbank Internationale Wechselwirkungen im Geld- und Währungswesens Der Autor Dr. Nils Herger ist als Dozent am Studienzentrum Gerzensee – dem Ausbildungszentrum der Schweizerischen Nationalbank – und als Lehrbeauftragter am Volkswirtschaftlichen Institut der Universität Bern tätig.
