    <description>Title: European regional convergence in a human capital augmented Solow model
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Dreger, Christian; Türck, Matthias
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: In this paper, the process of productivity convergence is investigated for the enlarged European Union using regional (NUTS-2) data. The Solow model extended by human capital is employed as a workhorse. Alternative strategies are proposed to control for spatial effects. All specifications confirm the presence of convergence with an annual speed between 3 and 3.5 percent towards regional steady states. Furthermore, a geographically weighted regression approach indicates a wide variation in the speed of convergence across the regions, where a higher speed is striking in particular in France and the UK. Clusters of convergence can be identified, where regions with high convergence also have high initial income levels.</description>

    <description>Title: Big elephants in small ponds: do large traders make financial markets more aggressive?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Bannier, Christina E.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Market participants often suspect that large traders have a disproportionate effect on financial markets, increasing the aggressiveness of market responses. Prior studies have shown that the impact of a large trader on a currency crisis depends positively on his size and informational position. By contrast, this article highlights the role that market sentiment has on the impact of a large trader. If the market believes that fundamentals are weak, then the probability of a crisis depends positively on the trader's size but negatively on the precision of his information, with these effects reversed in a generally optimistic market. A large player, therefore, need not make market responses more aggressive.</description>

    <description>Title: Convergence of EU-regions: a literature report
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Türck, Matthias
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Convergence studies are concerned with the question of whether poor economies catch-up to wealthier economies over time. The regional convergence process in Europe has generated considerable interest in recent years. Because of financial straits regional convergence is a central question, since important funds aim at diminishing disparities. There are many studies published recently dealing with this issue using different empirical approaches. Especially the ?-convergence framework, which was introduced by Barro and Sala-i-Martin, is often used. This paper provides a critical review of the different approaches and summarizes the results. Altogether it can be stated that most models find a slow convergence - global or only referring to some regions (convergence clubs).</description>
