Abstract

Prize or Penalty: When Sports Help Economies Score" looks at why countries vie to host the world's most costly sporting events. And, in a series of articles on "After the Crisis," we discuss why some countries were hit harder than others; how were shocks transmitted round the world, and whether protectionist pressures might intensify in 2010. As usual, we take on a number of hot topics, including housing prices, bankers' bonuses, Ponzi schemes, and inflation targeting. In "Picture This" we see that the number of hungry is on the rise, topping 1 billion. Our regular "People in Economics" column profiles Daron Acemoglu, the Turkish-born intellectual who won the American Economic Association's award in 2005 for the most influential U.S. economist under the age of 40. "Back to Basics" explains inflation; and "Data Spotlight" looks at how dollarization is declining in Latin America. Also includes articles by Nick Stern on climate change and Simon Johnson on bonuses and the "doomsday cycle.

Abstract

Au sommet de ce numéro, intitulé « La médaille et son revers : quand sport et économie font équipe » : pourquoi les pays se pressent pour accueillir les événements sportifs les plus coûteux du monde. En outre, dans une série d'articles sur le thème « Après la crise », nous examinons pourquoi certains pays ont été frappés plus durement que d'autres, comment les chocs se sont transmis au monde entier, et si les tentations protectionnistes pourraient s'intensifier en 2010. Comme de coutume, nous examinons un certain nombre de sujets d'actualité, tels que les prix de l'immobilier, les primes accordées aux banquiers, les systèmes de Ponzi, et le ciblage de l'inflation. La rubrique «Pleins feux» est consacrée à l’aggravation du problème de la faim dans le monde, qui touche plus d'un milliard de personnes. Dans «Paroles d’économistes», nous rencontrons Daron Acemoglu, intellectuel d’origine turque qui a reçu en 2005 le prix de l’American Economic Association, décerné à l’économiste américain de moins de 40 ans le plus influent. « L’ABC de l’économie » explique ce qu'est l'inflation, et la rubrique « Gros plan » se penche sur le recul de la dollarisation en Amérique latine. Aussi dans ce numéro : des articles de Nick Stern sur le changement climatique et de Simon Johnson sur les bonus et le « cycle apocalyptique ».

Abstract

En “Gol a favor o en contra: Cuando los deportes refuerzan la economía” se estudia por qué los países compiten por albergar los eventos deportivos más costosos del mundo. Asimismo, en una serie de artículos titulada “Después de la crisis”, examinamos la razón por la cual algunos países sufrieron en forma más pronunciada que otros los efectos de la crisis; cómo se transmiten los shocks en el mundo, y la posibilidad de que el proteccionismo comercial se intensifique en 2010. Como es habitual pasamos revista a varios temas de plena actualidad, como los precios de la vivienda, las bonificaciones en el sector bancario, los esquemas de Ponzi y las metas de inflación. En “Bajo la lupa” observamos que la cantidad de personas que padecen hambre vuelve a aumentar en algunas regiones del mundo, alcanzando a más de 1.000 millones. En nuestra columna “Gente del mundo de la economía” trazamos una semblanza de Daron Acemoglu, el intelectual de origen turco que en 2005 ganó el premio de la American Economic Association al economista estadounidense menor de 40 años más influyente. En “Vuelta a lo esencial” estudiamos qué es la inflación, y en “Un vistazo a las cifras” se examina la disminución de la dolarización en América Latina. También se presentan artículos de Nick Stern sobre el cambio climático y de Simon Johnson sobre las bonificaciones y el "ciclo apocalíptico".

Abstract

What do hedge funds really do? These lightly regulated funds continually innovate new investing and trading strategies to take advantage of temporary mispricing of assets (when their market price deviates from their intrinsic value). These techniques are shrouded in mystery, which permits hedge fund managers to charge exceptionally high fees. While the details of each fund's approach are carefully guarded trade secrets, this book draws the curtain back on the core building blocks of many hedge fund strategies.

Abstract

Changes in the structure of the U.S. Treasury market over recent years may have increased risks to financial stability. Traditional market makers have changed their liquidity provision by increasingly switching from risk warehousing to risk distribution, and a new breed of market maker has emerged with the rise of electronic trading. The “flash rally” of October 15, 2014 provides a clear example of how those risks can materialize. Based on an in-depth analysis of the event—complementing the authorities’ work—we suggest i) providing incentives for liquidity provision, ii) improving market safeguards, and iii) enhancing the regulation of the Treasury market.

Abstract

Our Special Issue we publish at a turning point, which we have not dealt with since World War II. The interconnected long-term global shocks such as the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and catastrophic climate change have imposed significant humanitary, socio-economic, political, and environmental restrictions on the globalization process and all aspects of economic and social life including the existence of individual people. The planet is trapped—the current situation seems to be the prelude to an apocalypse whose long-term effects we will have for decades. Therefore, it urgently requires a concept of the planet's survival to be built—only on this basis can the conditions for its development be created. The Special Issue gives evidence of the state of econophysics before the current situation. Therefore, it can provide excellent econophysics or an inter-and cross-disciplinary starting point of a rational approach to a new era.
