Texte und Textschicksale in reformatorisch bewegter Zeit. Zum linguistischen Interesse an Texten des Greiffenberger Pastors Wolfgang Silbers des Jüng…

2016

After many years of search, the only surviving copy of a collection of sermons with a chronicle (965– 1618), which was printed and published in Leipzig in 1619 by Wolfgang Silber, the parson from Greiffenberg, Lower Silesia, was discovered in 2016, within the international programme “The Silesian Cultural Heritage.” The first part of the article includes information on the life and creation of the sermon’s author and presents the historical and cultural background of the book, with references to the municipality and the church. The history of Silber’s other texts is also related. The second part of the article focuses mainly on the historical and linguistic aspects of the Greiffenberg parso…

Martti Luther taloudellisena ajattelijana

2018

Protestanttisen kristillisyyden reformaattori Martti Luther (1483–1546) oli teologian professori, mutta hänen ajattelullaan on ollut merkittäviä yhteiskunnallisia vaikutuksia, ja hän käytti säännöllisesti taloudellisia esimerkkejä havainnollistamaan eettisiä opetuksiaan. Luther ymmärsi hintamekanismin toiminnan markkinoiden kysynnän ja tarjonnan tasapainottajana ja puolusti vapaata elinkeinoelämää. Lähimmäisenrakkauden tuli kuitenkin toteutua kaikessa taloudellisessa vaihdannassa, eikä hän hyväksynyt pidäkkeetöntä voiton maksimointia tai ostajan hädänalaisen tilan hyväksikäyttöä. Hän kritisoi voimakkaasti katolisen uskon köyhyysideaalia, luostarilaitosta, koronkiskontaa ja monopolivoimien h…

Uleczyć rany: przez nawrócenie do pełnej wspólnoty. W obliczu 500-lecia Reformacji

2017

Obchody upamiętniające 500-lecie Reformacji w wielu miejscach na świecie zostały uroczyście rozpoczęte dnia 31. października 2016 r. Jest to dzień w którym Marcin Luter upublicznił swoje tezy, w oparciu o które zamierzał rozpocząć wielką debatę na temat istotnych kierunków reformy Kościoła. W szwedzkim Lund, w uroczystej inauguracji upamiętnienia tego wydarzenia wziął udział papież Franciszek wraz z b-pem Munibem Younanem, przewodniczącym Światowej Federacji Luterańskiej oraz przedstawiciele różnych Kościołów i środowisk chrześcijańskich. Wydarzenie to zainaugurowało wielką wspólną modlitwę o jedność. Stało się też początkiem nowego etapu na drodze oceny Reformacji i osoby Marcina Lutra w o…

Tax Design in the OECD: A Test of the Hines-Summers Hypothesis

2011

This paper investigates the effects of economic size and trade openness on tax design in the OECD. Using data for 30 OECD countries over the 1965–2007 period, we test the recently proposed Hines-Summers [2009] Hypothesis, according to which the smaller the size and the greater the openness of the economy, the more it will rely on expenditure taxes and the less on income taxes. Our findings show that the Hines-Summers Hypothesis can claim broad, statistically significant, and robust empirical support in the OECD data sets we examined.

Structural reforms in a debt overhang

2014

We assess the effects of reforms in product and labor markets in a model economy featuring credit restrictions and pre-existing long-term debt. Both elements, which are core features of the current scenario faced by some euro area countries, combine to produce a slow and protracted deleveraging of the private sector and a persistent recession following a negative financial shock. In this environment, we show that product and labor market reforms may stimulate output and employment even in the short run, despite their defl ationary effects. Furthermore, by favoring a faster recovery of investment and collateral values, product market reforms bring forward the end of deleveraging and the exit…

A reply to "banking crises, labor reforms, and unemployment: A comment"

2015

Aleksynka (2015) points to some important methodological flaws in the labor market indicators data used in Bernal-Verdugo, Furceri and Guillaume (2013) [BFG]. This paper revisits the empirical findings presented in BFG, and shows that the results and conclusions are little affected by these methodological flaws. In particular, we find that: (i) while in countries with more flexible labor markets the impact of banking crises is sharper but short-lived, in countries with more rigid labor markets the effect is initially more subdued but highly persistent; (ii) comprehensive labor market reforms have a positive impact on unemployment, albeit only in the medium term.
