The "Thin Film Of Gold": Monetary Rules and Policy Credibility In Developing Countries
Get PDFThis paper asks whether developing countries can reap credibility gains from submitting policy to a strict monetary rule. Following earlier work, we look at the gold standard era (1880-1914) as a "natural experiment" to test whether adoption of a rule-based monetary framework such as the gold standard increased policy credibility. On the basis of the largest possible dataset covering almost sixty independent and colonial borrowers in the London market, we challenge the traditional view that gold standard adherence worked as a credible commitment mechanism that was rewarded by financial markets with lower borrowing costs. We demonstrate that in the poor periphery -- where policy credibility is a particularly acute problem -- the market looked behind "the thin film of gold". Our results point to a dichotomy: whereas country risk premia fell after gold adoption in developed countries, there were no credibility gains in the volatile economic and political environments of developing countries. History shows that monetary policy rules are no short-cut to credibility in situations where vulnerability to economic and political shocks, not time-inconsistency, are overarching concerns for investors.

Investigation of Italian Bronze Age gold artefacts with portable laser ablation ICP-MS (pLA-ICP-MS)
No full textIn the framework of an ongoing research project Mycenaean gold – Studies on Origin, Distribution and Authenticity the identification of possible exchange networks of Mycenaean Greece and its neighbors was one of the major goals. Therefore, the chemical compositions of Italian Bronze Age gold objects were investigated in order to check indications of serial production, information regarding the geological source of the gold, and, by comparing the results of the analyses, to investigate a direct or indirect contact between northern and southern Italy. Furthermore, the gold composition was compared with contemporary objects of other European regions that offer typological parallels for some of the analyzed gold objects from Italy. We investigated whether these objects are also comparable in their chemical composition, which would suggest the exchange of raw materials and/or finished products. The typologically related objects include so-called "endless” gold wires and discs made of thin gold foils, the so-called sun discs.
In this article we report on our archaeometric analyses of 18 Recent Bronze Age (RBA) to Final Bronze Age (FBA) Age gold objects from Roca Vecchia, Frattesina (Narde cemetery), and Montagnana/Borgo San Zeno. We compare them with analyses of gold objects from Austria and Bohemia. The objects were sampled on-site in Italy with the minimally invasive portable laser ablation (pLA) technique and subsequently analyzed with inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) at the Curt-Engelhorn-Centre Archaeometry (CEZA) in Mannheim, Germany. Compared with non-invasive techniques like X-ray fluorescence (XRF) this method provides reliable and quantitative information not only on the major/alloying elements, but also at the trace element level, especially of the platinum-group elements (PGE)

On the Beginnings of Gold Use in Southern Mesopotamia: the Rediscovery of an Artifact from the al-‘Ubaid Stratum at Ur in the Collections of the Penn Museum
No full textThis report documents the recent “rediscovery” of a
gold artifact from the site of Ur, Iraq. Although excavated
in the late 1920s, this unique artifact still represents
the earliest evidence for the use of gold in
Southern Mesopotamia. The object was first reported
by Sir Leonard Woolley, when it was identified in a
stratum associated with al-‘Ubaid pottery at the lower
levels of a test pit at Ur. Radiocarbon dates and
parallels in the ceramic assemblage from the nearby
site of ‘Oueili suggest this stratum at Ur dates to approximately
4800–4300 BCE. The gold artifact is a
flat strip of twisted wire with a thickened and angular-
shaped end. While the exact function of this artifact
remains unclear, it was presumably used for decorative
purposes

Karl Philipp Moritz\'s essays: language, arts, philosophy (selection, introduction, translation and notes)
No full textApós mais de duzentos anos, o interesse pela obra de Karl Philipp Moritz (15 de setembro de 1756 26 de junho de 1793) só tem aumentado. Diferentes autores como Herman Hesse e Walter Benjamin, e, mais recentemente, Hans Joachin Schrimpf, Tzvetan Todorov, Peter Szondi, Arno Schmidt e Peter Handke têm escrito ressaltando a importância e a fecundidade desse autor. Moritz pode ser considerado um dos autores inaugurais do romantismo alemão. Este mestrado em filosofia, área de estética, pretende, por meio de seleção, tradução e introdução dos textos de Karl Philipp Moritz, contribuir para a valorização dessa importante obra em nossa cultura. Os textos selecionados são de teoria da linguagem, estética e filosofia.After over two hundred years, the concern for the works of Karl Philipp Moritz (September 15th 1756 June 26th 1793) has increased steadily.
