    <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: 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: Abgrenzung deutscher Arbeitsmarktregionen
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Kosfeld, Reinhold; Türck, Matthias
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Functional delineated labour market regions are needed for regional economic analyses. In dependence of the definition of regions economic regions in space can be seen as rich or poor areas. In addition to this statistical and econometric reasons argue for using functional labour market regions. The available definitions of functional units are based mostly on data from 1980s and 1990s. To that extent a new delineation is required. We use a factor analysis with an oblique rotation and receive 150 labour market regions, which consist of one or more administrative units (Kreise). These labour markets regions fulfil the criterion of reasonable commuting time (maximally 45 to 60 minutes in dependence of the attractiveness of the centre). They have a size of more than 50,000 inhabitants.</description>
