Realistic Idealism and The Project of Political Economy

This paper explores the constraints that should inform understandings of which political economic institutions are both economically and political feasible and ethically attractive. Focusing on cognitive constraints and motivational constraints, it suggests that the classical liberal ideal of a society based largely on voluntary exchanges within a minimalist conception of justice comes closest to matching the terms of a ‘realistic idealism’.     

Genuine or Spurious Institutionalism?Veblen and Ayres Seen from a Neo-Classical Perspective Raises the Question

A bstract . Orthodox critics of Institutional Economics , such as Professor David Seckler , are often confused—abysmally, in my personal opinion—about the basic socioeconomic and philosophical foundations of Institutionalism. In order to demonstrate the interpretive errors of Seckler's orthodox individualistic bias, which I regard as inanities, and his resultant perception of Institutionalist principles, which I think is farcical, an outline discussion of those key principles is presented under seven headings; 1) The Problem of Teleology; 2) Dualistic Philosophy; 3) The Concept of Culture; 4) The Nature of Institutions; 5) The Ceremonial-Instrumental Dichotomy; 6) The Technological-Scientific Process, and 7) The Value Problem.     

Industrial efficiency and the West German worker

British industrial performance and the attitudes of workers have been unfavourably compared with Germany for more than 100 years. Much has been made of non-militant German workers, implying a deep-rooted psychology which harmonises the interests of workers and employers. This article argues that West German workers are as sceptical of employers' motivations as their British counterparts.

Modelling the German system of vocational education

This paper aims at analyzing main features of the German vocational education. It builds on a simple model of firm specific human capital accumulation in case of learning by doing. A main result is a positive effect of government financed schooling on creating learning by doing jobs. This finding relies on simple strategic arguments and does not depend on long term labor contracts or any cross productivity effects between learning inside and outside the firm.

GDP trend deviations and the yield spread: the case of eight E.U. countries

Several studies have established the predictive power of the yield curve in terms of real economic activity. In this paper we use data for a variety of E.U. countries: both EMU (Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and non-EMU members (Norway, Sweden and the U.K.). The data used range from 1991:Q1 to 2009:Q3. For each country, we extract the long run trend and the cyclical component of real economic activity, while the corresponding ECB euro area government benchmark bond interest rates of long and short term maturities are used for the calculation of the yield spreads. We also augment the models tested with non monetary policy variables: the respective unemployment rates and stock indices. The methodology employed in the effort to forecast real output, is a probit model of the inverse cumulative distribution function of the standard distribution, using several formal forecasting and goodness of fit evaluation criteria. The results show that the yield curve augmented with the non-monetary variables has significant forecasting power in terms of real economic activity but the results differ qualitatively between the individual economies examined raising non-trivial policy implications.     

Supplementary questionnaire and nonresponse-results from the German ISSP survey

Within the scope of personal interviews self-administered questionnaires carried out as drop-off have been commonly used for a long time, particularly in the range of sensitive topics. However, questions with regard to non-response or participation have rarely been discussed. This study will examine if and to which extent refusal of participation happens at the example of the ISSP questionnaires (International Social Survey Program), which were carried out in the framework of the German General Social Survey 2004 (GGSS). In addition to the socio-demographic and socio-economic drop-out causes this study will examine whether the questionnaires “Citizenship 2004” and “National Identity 2003” dealing with one subject only, lead to selective participation. Political interest, postmaterialistic values as well as reading ability and health indicators are the focus of the analysis.
