Horst Siebert Knihy

Was haben wirtschaftspolitische Themen mit einer Kobra zu tun? Die Antwort liefert ein Blick in die indische Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Kolonialverwaltung. Damals gab es zu viele Kobras. Der englische Gouverneur setzte eine Prämie auf jeden abgelieferten Kobra-Kopf aus. Doch was geschah? Die Inder züchteten extra Kobras, um noch mehr Prämien zu kassieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschreibt Horst Siebert viele Fehlanreize, wie sie in Unternehmen und Staaten gang und gäbe sind. Er zeigt Wege auf, wie der Kobra-Effekt zum Wohle der Volkswirtschaften verhindert werden kann. Das Buch eignet sich nach Auffassung von getAbstract.com sowohl für Wirtschaftsführer als auch für Politiker. So manchem dürften bei der Lektüre die Augen für teuren Stumpfsinn geöffnet werden: sei es im Sozialbereich, in der Altersvorsorge, in der Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit oder im Gesundheitswesen

The economies of many advanced countries are currently going through a period of structural adjustment caused mainly by the globalization of production and technological change. Already, economists are beginning to analyze the impact of this new state of affairs upon labor markets. In this volume, Horst Siebert brings together twelve experts from around the world to examine these sectoral structural changes at various levels of aggregation -- among them, the way that age and gender relate to the overall composition of the labor force, the development of different occupations within industries, and the reasons for the varying experiential and educational backgrounds of the workforce. Conducted for both major industrial countries such as the United States and Japan and for the smaller open economies of Denmark and the Netherlands, for instance, these analyses will be of interest to international economists on a broad scale.

Rules for the Global Economy is a timely examination of the conditions under which international rules of globalization come into existence, enabling world economic and financial systems to function and stabilize. Horst Siebert, a leading figure in international economics, explains that these institutional arrangements, such as the ones that govern banking, emerge when countries fail to solve economic problems on their own and cede part of their sovereignty to an international order. Siebert demonstrates that the rules result from a trial-and-error process--and usually after a crisis--in order to prevent pointless transaction costs and risks. Using an accessible and nonmathematical approach, Siebert links the rules to four areas: international trade relations, factor movements, financial flows, and the environment. He looks at the international division of labor in the trade of goods and services; flow of capital; diffusion of technology; migration of people, including labor and human capital; protection of the global environment; and stability of the monetary-financial system. He discusses the role of ethical norms and human rights in defining international regulations, and argues that the benefits of any rules system should be direct and visible. Comprehensively supporting rules-based interactions among international players, the book considers future issues of the global rules system.

One of Germany's most influential economists analyzes the country's economy, the largest in the EU and third largest globally, highlighting its weaknesses: poor GDP growth, high unemployment from a malfunctioning labor market, and an unsustainable social security system. The author outlines necessary reforms to address these issues, taking a broader view than recent analyses. He considers Germany's fiscal policy, product market regulation, capital market, environmental policy, and aging and immigration policies, along with its human capital formation system and role in the EU, particularly the euro zone. A central theme is Germany's system of economic governance and why this former powerhouse is now struggling. The author argues for a market renaissance, urging Germany to shed its social welfare economy and consensus-driven decision-making that hampers competition. He examines the social security system and labor market, including trade unions, while focusing on current concerns, foreseeable challenges, and long-term policy issues. This comprehensive analysis of the postwar German economy is essential for economists, finance professionals, students, researchers, and anyone interested in Germany's role and future in Europe.
