    <description>Title: A time-varying indicator of effective monetary policy conservatism
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Berlemann, Michael; Hielscher, Kai
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Based on an extended version of a time-inconsistency model of monetary policy we show that the degree of effective monetary policy conservatism can be uncovered by studying to what extent central banks react to real disturbances. By estimating central bank reaction functions in moving and overlapping intervals for the period of 1985 to 2007 using an ordered logit approach in a panel setting we derive a time-varying indicator of effective monetary policy conservatism for Canada, Sweden, the UK and the US. Employing this indicator we show that increasing effective conservatism tends to lower inflation without increasing the output gap. However, while a higher degree of effective conservatism does not result in lower inflation uncertainty the variance of the output gap tends to decrease.</description>

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: The results of empirical research on whether media attention encourages terrorism differ according to the study period. The present contribution identifies which episodes from 1970 to 2010 are characterized by Granger-causalities. Structural breaks are systematically taken into account, and both domestic and transnational terrorism are considered. Data on terrorism are drawn from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), while the media attention variable is constructed by the number of New York Times' (NYT) articles that contain the word terrorism. A bidirectional Granger-causality between transnational terrorism and media attention was found only from 1999:09 to 2002:07, indicating a temporary effect of 9/11.</description>

    <description>Title: The curse of anxiety-pleasure: Terrorism, the media, and advertising in a two-sided market framework
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Pfeiffer, Christoph P.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: In theoretical analyses on terrorism and the media, the structure of the media market has thus far been neglected. The present paper adopts a multi-sided market framework in order to explore the ways in which the markets for terrorism, advertising, and the media influence each other. Although the markets for terrorism and the media do not constitute a two-sided market, they are linked by externalities, the degrees of which can be determined by the media. Further, advertisers play a crucial role in determining the content of a media product because they (i) usually contribute to a large share of a media firm's profit and (ii) value media violence for its juvenescent effect on the age structure of consumers. The model presented herein predicts that the probability of a circulation-advertising-terrorism spiral usually decreases with increasing average age of the population, given that the media firm derives part of its profit from advertisements. The results underline the importance of financially independent news coverage.</description>

    <description>Title: Ideengeschichtliche Aspekte von unabhängigen Institutionen
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Andrae, Jannis
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: In der Ökonomik tritt der zirkuläre unechte Fortschritt auf, der sich z.B. vom kumulativen, besonders für die Naturwissenschaften charakteristischen Fortschritt abgrenzt. Die Ideen- bzw. Dogmengeschichte kann somit eine wertvolle Erkenntnisquelle sein. In diesem Papier wird das Konzept der unabhängigen öffentlichen Institution auf seine ideengeschichtlichen Grundlagen hin beleuchtet. Die Betrachtung erfolgt im wesentlichen chronologisch entlang der Entwicklungsstufen der ökonomischen bzw. polit-ökonomischen Theorie. Es wird mit der frühen, noch stark normativ bzw. metaphysisch ausgerichteten und unsystematischen ökonomischen Theorie der Antike und frühen Neuzeit begonnen, deren Erfahrungsgegenstand nicht notwendigerweise dem entspricht, was heute als Ökonomie verstanden wird. Sodann werden die ersten Systeme mit Schwergewicht auf positiven Aussagen untersucht. Der inhaltliche Schwerpunkt liegt dann auf der modernen ökonomischen Theorie, die methodisch präzise zwischen positiven und normativen Aussagen trennt.</description>
