      <description>Titel: Intergenerational transmission of risk attitudes: A revealed preference approach
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Autoren: Leuermann, Andrea; Necker, Sarah
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zusammenfassung: This study investigates whether the willingness to take income risks revealed by occupational choice is transmitted from parents to their children. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), we find that fathers' riskiness of job is a significant determinant of children's occupational risk, in particular sons' (excluding parent-child pairs with identical occupations). This is the first piece of evidence for intergenerational transmission of risk attitudes relying on real world behavior. It shows that not only individuals' own assessments of their risk attitudes correlate across generations (found by previous studies) but also risk preferences shown in exactly the same situation.</description>

      <description>Titel: The boundaries of the state
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Autoren: Wohlgemuth, Michael
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zusammenfassung: The paper is organized as follows: in part 2, I give a short account of Humboldt's boundaries of the state that relates to many present-day challenges to classical liberalism: his blunt rejection of any solicitude of the state for the positive welfare of the citizen which also covers education, religion and any kind of moral paternalism. In part 3, I refer to the new economic literature on the optimal size and number of nations in order to discuss whether small states are more likely to be (nearly) minimal states. This literature tends to disregard Humboldt's arguments in favour of exposing the individual to varieties of situations that he can choose and from which he can learn to self-develop. Therefore, in part 4, I argue that the evolutionary merits of this exposure can be illustrated by regarding institutional competition as a Hayekian discovery procedure. In part 5, I look at the partial removal of borders within the European Union and, using some intuitions from club theory, I argue that, in terms of the size of European government, integration has become in most areas too deep whereas in terms of the size of membership in the Union the EU has grown too big in some areas and too small in others. I conclude with a plea for more decentralization and competition amongst jurisdictions as a way to lead, as if by an invisible hand, to at least somewhat more limited states. My qualified claim is thus: more, and more open, boundaries between states lead to more limited governments.</description>

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Zusammenfassung: In diesem Beitrag setzen wir uns mit der zukünftigen Positionierung der Ordnungsökonomik innerhalb der Wirtschaftswissenschaften in dem zuvor angelegten Spannungsfeld zwischen positiver Analyse und normativer, auf wirtschaftspolitische Beratung zielender Disziplin auseinander. Ausgangspunkt der Betrachtung ist ein streng normativ-individualistischer, gemäß welchem der Bürger als Individuum Legitimationsquelle für politische Handlungsempfehlungen ist. Ganz im Sinne des verfassungsökonomischen Forschungsansatzes von James Buchanan werden die Bürgerinteressen als Referenzkriterium herangezogen. Um eine dem normativen Individualismus entsprechende Referenzgröße zu finden, bieten sich das Legitimationskriterium der individuellen Zustimmung bzw. die Steuerungsideale der Bürger- und Konsumentensouveränität an. Unter dieser Zielstellung gehen wir wie folgt vor: Zunächst wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Reflexion - dem Methodenstreit - geliefert und eine kurze Einordnung vorgenommen (Abschnitt 2). Anschließend diskutieren wir jüngste Beiträge zur zukünftigen Ausrichtung der Ordnungsökonomik vor dem Hintergrund des verfassungsökonomischen Forschungsprogramms (Abschnitt 3). In einem dritten Schritt wird unsere Perspektive zur Weiterentwicklung des ordnungsökonomischen Forschungsansatzes dargestellt (Abschnitt 4).</description>
