No full textExchange rate policy and trade balance. A cointegration analysis of the argentine experience since 1962.
No full textUsing multivariate cointegration tests for non-stationary data and vector error correction models, this paper examines the determinants of trade balance for Argentina over the last forty to fifty years. Our investigation confirms the existence of long-run relationships among trade balance, Real Exchange Rate (RER) and foreign and domestic incomes for Argentina during different real exchange rate management policies. Based on the estimations, the Marshall-Lerner condition is examined and, by means of impulse response functions, we trace the effect of a one-time shock to the RER on the trade balance checking the J-curve pattern.Argentina; Marshall-Lerner; J-Curve; cointegration and impulse response analysis

Gerda Lerner Family Collection 1939-1978
No full textThe collection contains materials related to several members of the Kronstein/Neumann/Mueller families; both original documents as well as additional biographical information and excerpts from Gerda Lerner's book "A Death of One's Own". The bulk consists of correspondence, mainly written from Ilona Kronstein's exile in Nice to her daughter Gerda in the United States. In one letter, Ilona Kronstein describes a brief stay in the Gurs camp. Most of the correspondence has been summarized by John and Eva Englander, the summaries are included in the folders.Austrian Heritage CollectionGerda Lerner, October 2003; April 2004 (Addenda 1)The Gerda Lerner Papers are on deposit at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute. See also the Nora Kronstein-Rosen Family Collection at the LBI (AR 25257)Ilona Kronstein (nee Neumann) was born in Budapest in 1897 to Sigmund Neumann and Emma Deutsch. In 1918, she met Robert Kronstein. The couple married a year later and moved to Vienna. They had two daughters: Gerda, born in 1920, and Nora, born in 1925. Between 1928 and 1933 Ilona studied art with Johannes Itten. She opened her own studio in 1933. In 1938, after several weeks in a Gestapo prison, she fled with her two daughters, Gerda and Nora, to Liechtenstein, where her husband was already waiting. After a few months in Vaduz, she went to a small town near Nice and solely devoted herself to art. It was in Nice that she became friends with the painter Rudolf Ray. In 1940 she was detained in the concentration camp at Gurs for several weeks and from 1941 onwards she began to show signs of multiple sclerosis. Her family managed with great difficulty to get her back to Liechtenstein in 1942 and to obtain medical assistance for her in Switzerland. She died in Zurich in 1948.In 2000, the Jewish Museum Vienna exhibited drawings and pastels by Ilona Kronstein, which her daughters Gerda Lerner and Nora Kronstein-Rosen donated to the museum in 1997.Ilona's sister Margit Neuer (born 1899) was a physician and perished in Auschwitz. Her second sister Klara (born 1903) married Alexander Mueller, a psychiatrist and close co-worker of Alfred Adler. As a stateless person he was denied residence in several countries and forcibly sent across the border back to Germany, until he finally obtained residence in Holland. After the Nazi takeover of the Netherlands, he and his wife fled to Budapest, where they survived the Russian siege and he survived Eichmann's death march to Austria. After the end of the war they first returned to The Netherlands, then found refuge in Switzerland, where Alexander Mueller accepted a position at the University of Zuerich. He died in 1968.Elizabeth Breznitz, née Klein, was born in Léva (then Hungary, today Levice, Slovakia). Her first husband, Leo Kalmer, died in a concentration camp in Bavaria; she was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945, but her father and her stepmother perished. After the war she lived in Plzen, Czech Republic. Her letters are of great interest to understand the daily life of a Holocaust survivor in Czechoslovakia.Gerda Kronstein came to the US in 1939, where she married Carl Lerner in 1941. She received her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1966. She is one of the founders of women's history and a former President of the Organization of American Historians. In 1972, she founded the first graduate (M.A.) program in women's history in the US at Sarah Lawrence College. In 1980 she founded the first PH.D. program in women's history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has won many honors, including 17 honorary degrees and is the author of 13 books.See also the catalog of an exhibition held at the Juedisches Museum Wien in 2000: Die Welt der Ili Kronstein = the world of Ili Kronstein : Werke 1938-1943 / herausgegeben von Werner Hanak im Auftrag des Juedischen Museums Wien.

The making of constitutional preambles
No full textWhile often overlooked as a mere introduction to a country's constitution, a preamble may provide insight into certain issues that the framers were unable to work into the articled provisions during the constitution-making process. The chapter begins by providing a notion of what preambles are and what they contain. The core of the chapter then looks at how preambles are treated by Constitutional and Supreme Courts as a litmus test of whether they have legal value or not. This is followed by a theoretical summary of the main lessons drawn from the various country studies explaining why in some cases preambles play a more significant role compared with other places where the preamble is rarely used by the courts. The chapter goes on to underline the fact that constitutional drafters and scholars ought to pay more attention to preambles, especially the issue of what legal status they are intended to have. The chapter ends by posing a series of questions that designers and scholars should think about when drafting constitutional preambles

Fossilisierte Strukturen der Interlanguage von DaZ-Lerner\*innen. Eine Longitudinalstudie zur Defossilisierung syntaktischer und verbalmorphologischer Strukturen bei Integrationskursteilnehmer\*innen
No full textDavid M. Fossilisierte Strukturen der Interlanguage von DaZ-Lerner\*innen. Eine Longitudinalstudie zur Defossilisierung syntaktischer und verbalmorphologischer Strukturen bei Integrationskursteilnehmer\*innen. Bielefeld: Universität Bielefeld; 2021.Deutschland ist ein Einwanderungsland und Integration dementsprechend ein Thema, das an Aktualität nicht verliert. Wodurch Integration zustande kommt und was sie ausmacht, ist und bleibt jedoch unklar. Sprachkenntnisse sind ein Bestandteil der erfolgreichen Integration und stellen das wohl wichtigste Mittel der mündigen Partizipation am Staate dar. Integrationskurse bilden ein bedeutendes Instrument zur Teilhabe am Staat – nicht nur für Neuzuwander\*innen, die vornehmlich im Fokus dieser Kurse stehen, sondern auch für diejenigen Altzuwander\*innen, die, obwohl sie z. T. seit Jahren und Jahrzehnten in Deutschland leben, dennoch über nur unzureichende Sprachkenntnisse verfügen.
In der vorliegenden Studie wird der Forschungsfrage nachgegangen, ob Fossilisierungen durch den Besuch eines (etwa) 9-monatigen speziell darauf ausgelegten Unterrichts aufgehalten bzw. behoben werden können. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf syntaktischen und verbalmorphologischen Strukturen innerhalb der Interlanguage von DaZ-Lerner\*innen, während andere sprachliche Phänomene sowie die Weiterentwicklung in Bereichen wie Autonomes Lernen, Medienkompetenz, Allgemeinbildung etc. davon ausgeschlossen bleiben. Forschungsgegenstand sind hierbei Kompetenz- und Performanzerscheinungen der Interlanguage von DaZ-Lerner\*innen eines Integrationskurses. Erkennbar gemacht werden diese anhand von Grammatikalitätsurteilen, Aufgabenblättern zur schriftsprachlichen Äußerung und themenzentrierten Partner\*innen- bzw. Kleingruppeninterviews.
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit liegt darin, aufzuzeigen, ob Defossilisierung möglich ist

The Rules of Standard Setting Organizations: An Empirical Analysis
No full textThis paper empirically explores the procedures employed by standard-setting organizations. Consistent with Lerner-Tirole (2004), we find (a) a negative relationship between the extent to which an SSO is oriented to technology sponsors and the concession level required of sponsors and (b) a positive correlation between the sponsor-friendliness of the selected SSO and the quality of the standard. We also develop and test two extensions of the earlier model: the presence of provisions mandating royalty-free licensing is negatively associated with disclosure requirements, and when there are only a limited number of SSOs, the relationship between concessions and user friendliness is weaker.
