Kim Marriott Bernd Meyer Communication is one of the hallmarks of humans. When we think of hu man communication, most people first think of spoken and written lan guages. These are similar in that symbols in the language are encountered and processed sequentially, either temporally as they are spoken or as char acters are read across a page. However, not all human communication is sequential in nature. Important components of human communication are visual languages, such as maps or diagrams. In these languages the basic symbols are not encountered sequentially but rather seen together at a glance. Visual languages are ubiquitous in human cultures, ranging from tradi tional paintings of central Australian aborigines which are, in part, maps of the countryside to an architect's design of a new building. Visual languages have been employed from earliest pre-history to the present and are used in almost every human endeavor. They cover the entire spectrum of human expression ranging from fine art, such as an abstract expressionist's private language, to precise technical communication using rigorously defined no tation, such as musical notation, mathematical notation, or street maps. Some visual languages, such as sign languages used by the deaf community, substitute spoken language entirely. Indeed, sign languages, for example American Sign Language, are a particularly interesting instance of visual communication, since they use three-dimensional spatial arrangements of signs in combination with their sequential temporal order to constitute meaning.

Diagrams are essential in most fields of human activity. There is substan tial interest in diagrams and their use in many academic disciplines for the potential benefits they may confer on a wide range of tasks. Are we now in a position to claim that we have a science of diagrams-that is, a science which takes the nature of diagrams and their use as the central phenom ena of interest? If we have a science of diagrams it is certainly constituted from multiple disciplines, including cognitive science, psychology, artificial intelligence, logic, mathematics, and others. If there is a science of diagrams, then like other sciences there is an appli cations, or engineering, discipline that exists alongside the science. Applica tions and engineering provide tests of the theories and principles discovered by the science and extend the scope of the phenomena to be studied by gen erating new uses of diagrams, new media for presenting diagrams, or novel classes of diagram. This applications and engineering side of the science of di agrams also comprises multiple disciplines, including education, architecture, computer science, mathematics, human-computer interaction, knowledge ac quisition, graphic design, engineering, history of science, statistics, medicine, biology, and others.

How to deal with differences based on culture, ethnicity and race, has become a key issue of policing. This edited collected explores everyday, often mundane interactions between police officers and migrantised actors in European countries and asks how both sides deal with perceived differences. The contributions reflect that such differences are not just ‘out there’ but are being situationally (re-)produced in police-citizen encounters. By taking a comparative approach, the book develops a distinctly European perspective on these questions. The book contains 12 ethnographies from ten European countries, based on new and often innovative empirical research, two theoretical contributions, an introduction and a postface.

Bridging the gap between the well-known technological description of gasification and the underlying theoretical understanding, this book covers the latest numerical and semi-empirical models describing interphase phenomena in high-temperature conversion processes. Consequently, it focuses on the description of gas-particle reaction systems by state-of-the-art computational models in an integrated, unified form. Special attention is paid to understanding and modeling the interaction between individual coal particles and a surrounding hot gas, including heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reactions inside the particle on the particle interface and near the interface between the solid and gas phases.While serving the needs of engineers involved in industrial research, development and design in the field of gasification technologies, this book's in-depth coverage makes it equally ideal for young and established researchers in the fields of thermal sciences and chemical engineering with a focus on heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions.

Für die Beurteilung umweltpolitischer Maßnahmen müssen neben dem Grad der Zielerreichung auch die Effekte im ökonomischen und ökologisch-technischen Gesamtsystem prognostiziert werden. Dazu haben sich disaggregierte makroökonometrische Modelle als besonders nützlich erwiesen. In einem vom Umweltbundesamt initiierten Projekt wurden erstmals im deutschsprachigen Raum zwei verschiedene Modelle parallel benutzt. Die Zuverlässigkeit wurde dadurch erheblich verbessert. Das Modell PANTA RHEI der GWS (Osnabrück) und der Modellverbund des RWI (Essen) wurden um die Umweltbereiche Wasser, Klima, Luft und Boden erweitert und dann zur Simulation folgender umweltpolitischer Maßnahmen eingesetzt: Ökosteuer, Flächensteuer (jeweils verschiedene Varianten), Flächenangebots-Beschränkung, CO2-Steuer. Das Buch enthält die Beschreibung der Modellstrukturen, die Darstellung der Simulationen und eine vergleichende Diskussion der Ergebnisse.

Seit ihrer Einführung im Jahre 1999 wird die ökologische Steuerreform in Deutschland kontrovers diskutiert. Das Buch stellt eine erste systematische und modellgestützte Analyse der Auswirkungen dieser Reform vor. Untersucht werden die Folgen für das Wirtschaftswachstum, den Arbeitsmarkt und die Einkommensverteilung sowie die Wirkungen auf den Energieverbrauch und die CO2-Emissionen. Dazu werden zwei gesamtwirtschaftliche Modelle sowie ein Mikrosimulationsmodell eingesetzt. Sensitivitätsanalysen erlauben einen Test der Robustheit der Ergebnisse und des Einflusses unterschiedlicher Annahmen und analytischer Methoden auf das Ergebnis. Die Studie zeigt auf, inwieweit die ursprünglichen Ziele der ökologischen Steuerreform erreicht werden können, unerwünschte Nebenwirkungen auftreten und politischer Handlungsbedarf entsteht.

In the mid-eighties Mehra and Prescott showed that the risk premium earned by American stocks cannot reasonably be explained by conventional capital market models. Using time additive utility, the observed risk pre mium can only be explained by unrealistically high risk aversion parameters. This phenomenon is well known as the equity premium puzzle. Shortly aft erwards it was also observed that the risk-free rate is too low relative to the observed risk premium. This essay is the first one to analyze these puzzles in the German capital market. It starts with a thorough discussion of the available theoretical mod els and then goes on to perform various empirical studies on the German capital market. After discussing natural properties of the pricing kernel by which future cash flows are translated into securities prices, various multi period equilibrium models are investigated for their implied pricing kernels. The starting point is a representative investor who optimizes his invest ment and consumption policy over time. One important implication of time additive utility is the identity of relative risk aversion and the inverse in tertemporal elasticity of substitution. Since this identity is at odds with reality, the essay goes on to discuss recursive preferences which violate the expected utility principle but allow to separate relative risk aversion and intertemporal elasticity of substitution.

Wirtschaftswachstum und Strukturwandel kennzeichnen hochentwickelte Volkswirtschaften. Der Wettbewerb steuert die Evolution, er fuhrt die Produktionsfaktoren einer effizienten Verwendung zu, gestaltet den Akkumulationsprozess und organisiert das gesellschaftliche Suchverfahren, das Invention, Innovation und Imitation und damit den technischen Fortschritt generiert. Dies ist das zentrale Thema des wissenschaftlichen Werkes von Ernst Helmstadter; Erforschung der Bedingungen wirtschaftlicher Evolution (im weitesten Sinne). Zu Beginn seiner wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn war es die Allokation und der Akkumulationsprozess, die ihn besonders interessiert haben. Heute ist es besonders der dynamische Wettbewerb als Determinante des technischen Fortschritts. In 26 Beitragen greifen Freunde und Schuler anlasslich des 65. Geburtstages Ernst Helmstadters diese Thematik auf.

Zum Schutz der Umwelt wird in Deutschland vornehmlich eine Politik der Verbote und der Gebote betrieben. Ökonomen beklagen die Ineffizienz dieser Instrumente, können sich mit ihrer Forderung nach einer marktkonformen Umweltpolitik aber nicht durchsetzen, weil einerseits die immensen Kosten der Einschränkung wirt schaftlicher Entscheidungsfreiheit nicht belegbar und andererseits die vermeintli chen Kosten etwa einer Umweltsteuer für jedermann greifbar zu sein scheinen. Dabei offenbart die sehr emotional geführte Diskussion um die Einführung einer ökologischen Steuerreform die tiefe Unkenntnis der Bevölkerung, aber auch sehr vieler Diskutanten über umweltökonomische Zusammenhänge. Dies hat zwei Gründe: Zum einen ist der Sachverhalt sehr komplex, weil die durch die wirt schaftlichen Aktivitäten entstehenden Umweltbelastungen nur in einer detaillierten Analyse erfaßbar sind. Zum anderen handelt es sich um langfristige Zusammen hänge, die auch einer entsprechenden Perspektive in der Politik bedürfen. Mit dem vorliegenden Buch wollen die Autoren einen Beitrag zur Versachli chung der Diskussion im Bereich der Klimaschutzpolitik leisten. Das Buch bietet eine ausführliche Darstellung des umweltökonometrischen Modells P ANT A RHEI, das empirisch fundiert in tiefer Disaggregation die umweltökonomischen Zusammenhänge im Bereich der Luftschadstoffemissionen für Deutschland abbil det. Das Modell wird dann als Instrument zur Untersuchung der Wirkungen unter schiedlicher Maßnahmen marktkonformer Umweltpolitik zur Reduktion von Luft schadstoffemissionen eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Rechnungen werden aus führlich kommentiert und einer bewertenden Analyse unterzogen.
