Durch die Zusammenarbeit der Autorengruppe ist ein konzeptionell einheitliches Buch entstanden, das Studierende des 1. Semesters bestens mit den Grundlagen des Fachgebiets VWL vertraut macht. Die modulare Struktur des Buches unterstützt den Lernprozess und erleichtert auch das Selbststudium.

Sovereign risk and financial crises play a key role in current international economic developments, particularly in the case of economic downturns. As the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s revealed once again, financial crises are the rule rather than the exception in capitalist economies. The event also revealed that international public debt agreements are contingent claims. In a world of increasing economic interdependencies, the issues of financial crises and country defaults are of critical importance. This volume goes to the heart of the academic discussion on sovereign risk and financial crises by centering on quantitative-empirical aspects, evaluating prominent approaches, and by proposing new methods. Part I of the volume identifies key factors and processes that are central in analyzing sovereign risk while Part II focuses on the determinants and effects of financial crises.

The 17th Symposium on Operations Research was held at Universitat der Bundeswehr Hamburg, August 25-28, 1992, as the annual meeting of the Gesellschaft fur Mathematik, Okonomie and Operations Research (GMOOR). The aim of this book is to provide a timely and comprehensive documentation of the symposium's scientific activities. It contains extended abstracts of most of the papers there. The symposium fell into twelve sections and an overlapping cross-section workshop. The sections covered established fields of theory and application such as (1) mathematical modelling in OR, (2) stochastic models of OR, (3) combinatorial optimization and discrete mathematics, (4) linear and non-linear optimization, (5) systems and control theory, (6) decision support and information systems (7) applications in business and economics, (8) econometrics and statistics, (9) micro-economics and game theory, (10) macro-economics and applied economics, (11) decision theory, utility and risk, (12) banking, finance and insurance.As a novelty and an experiment, a cross-section workshop on Environmental Systems and Economics had been included in the programme which was devoted to a topic of current political and scientific interest.
