Austrians and the Mainstream: The Stories of Exchange Rate DeterminationBiľo, Šimon January 2008 (has links)
The scope of the present thesis is four-fold. First, to clarify and explain the means-ends framework and step-by-step analysis of the Austrian school. Second, to apply this framework to the Austrian theory of exchange rates. Third, to link the framework with most of the existing Austrian research related with the exchange rate theory and discuss this research. And fourth, to confront the Austrian economics with two mainstream approaches - Dornbusch?s overshooting model and short-run portfolio balance model. Message springing from this confrontation is twofold. First, the fundamental differences between present-day mainstream methods are envisaged. And second, the fact of possibility of mutual enrichment of both approaches from each other despite of completely different methodological backgrounds is suggested.

Culture Clash: The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Austrian Avant-Garde in the 1990s.Murphy, Anthony J. 13 October 2009 (has links)
No / The 15 essays collected here focus on literary and cultural relations between Germany or Austria on the one hand and the neighbouring countries of eastern and southern Europe on the other, with particular reference to the period since the Wende, but also with a glance back to the period of German division. Topics include the overarching theme of psychological, political, historical and geographical boundaries and the perspective offered by German writers from both East and West on Poland, Russia and neighbouring countries. Equally important to the contributors are specific authors who have crossed national and cultural borders, such as Libu¿e Moníková, Irena Bre¿na, Richard Wagner and Hans Bergel. The role of memory, Vergangenheit, time and space are examined in the context of works by Anna Mitgutsch, W G Sebald, Christoph Ransmayr and Elisabeth Reichart, and the reception of the theories of Pierre Nora in the German-speaking countries. The re-emergence of t! he Right in politics, drama and film forms a further dimension explored in these essays. Neighbours and Strangers will be of interest to students and scholars working on contemporary German and Austrian culture.

The Rise of the Austrian Freedom Party in the 1990s: A Culturalist ApproachMurphy, Anthony J. 27 July 2009 (has links)
No / Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Erklärungsansätze zum bemerkenswerten
Aufstieg der FPÖ Jörg Haiders in den 1990er Jahren. Daran anschließend werden einige
kulturelle und historische Aspekte, die von anderen Ansätzen nicht beachtet wurden, welche aber einen
wesentlichen politischen Hintergrund für Haiders Erfolg bildeten, beleuchtet. Es wird argumentiert, dass
die FPÖ eine ausgesprochen erfolgreiche Strategie verfolgte, indem sie ein auf traditionellen und antimodernen
Werten basierendes österreichisches Identitätskonzept (re-)konstruierte. Besonders deutlich
wurde dies im aggressiven ¿Kulturkampf¿, den die FPÖ gegen KünstlerInnen und Personen des kulturellen
Lebens Mitte der neunziger Jahre führte. Haiders Version des rechten Populismus erwies sich deswegen
als besonders erfolgreich, weil sie einen in der österreichischen Gesellschaft nach 1945 stark verankerten
Parochialismus politisch zu instrumentalisieren vermochte.

Women's writing in exile : three Austrian case studies, Veza Canetti, Anna Gmeyner, Lilli KorberDavidson, Elizabeth Macleod January 2010 (has links)
Despite the recent increase in scholarship on the subject of the female experience in exile, there is still much to be done. Exile scholars now have at their disposal an abundance of broad, general overviews of the circumstances and fates of displaced women writers, but a dearth of scholarship that considers specific literary works in an individualised fashion still exists. This is especially true of those female writers who have only recently been 'rediscovered', such as the three under discussion in this thesis. This thesis explores in detail the exile writings of Veza Canetti, Anna Gmeyner, and Lili Korber, about which little scholarship exists, and uses them as case studies to illuminate the situation of exiled women writers in general The exile works of these three authors repay study both for their own literary merits and for what they can tell us about the individual experience of exile. In their broad similarities, these writers also provide us with case studies of the larger experience of authorial exile - particularly, but by no means exclusively, the gendered experience - that allow us to derive more general lessons about the influence of forced flight on literary art. By giving due consideration to work produced in exile, this thesis calls into question some of the generalisations commonly found in recent scholarship and demonstrates that, despite hardsrnps and setbacks and contrary to common scholarly contention, all three women continued to write well into their exile years and that in those years they took their writing in new, skilful, and creative directions.

The entrepreneur according to Austrian schoolAndrieu, Eugenio Cosme 04 1900 (has links)
This thesis explores the concept of entrepreneurship. It aims at answering the
question: does the Austrian view provide a comprehensive framework for the analysis
of entrepreneurship? For this purpose the problem is separated into three main
objectives: to trace its development, to describe its foundations and to explain its
principal features.
In order to achieve these objectives, the study is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1
outlines the historical origins of the Austrian School. Chapter 2 describes the
uniqueness of the individual as the foundation of Austrian economic theory. Chapter
3 explains how individuals act in a society. Chapter 4 covers the idea of the market as
a process. Chapter 5 analyzes the role of the entrepreneur. Finally chapter 6 presents
some case studies from the IT industry.
The thesis concludes that the Austrian school provides a fully comprehensive
framework for the development of the concept of entrepreneurship. / Economics / M.A. (Economics)

Macroeconomics without laws : methodological and theoretical aspectsVan Eeghen, P. (Piet Hein) 11 1900 (has links)
This study develops an economic methodology in which,behavioural laws (in the sense of
necessary connections between cause and effect) play no essential role. Hayek and Menger
are important sources of inspiration. Economic behaviour is explained by way of tendencies
rather than laws and insight into economic phenomena is gained by laying bare their "action
structure" in which behavioural explanation and behavioural laws play no role. This
methodology is applied to the explanation of macroeconomic coordination. The appropriate
equilibrium conditions are developed and the relevant tendencies away from or towards
equilibrium are identified. The institutions responsible for these tendencies are identified and
anarysed. In the light of these findings, pre-Keynesian macroeconomics, the
macroeoconomics of Walrasian theory, as well as Keynes's General Theory itself are
critically assessed. / Economics and Management Sciences / D. Comm. (Economics)

Staging the Nation, Staging Democracy: The Politics of Commemoration in Germany and Austria, 1918-1933/34Hochman, Erin 05 December 2012 (has links)
Between 1914 and 1919, Germans and Austrians experienced previously unimaginable sociopolitical transformations: four years of war, military defeat, the collapse of the Hohenzollern and Habsburg monarchies, the creation of democratic republics, and the redrawing of the map of Central Europe. Through an analysis of new state symbols and the staging of political and cultural celebrations, this dissertation explores the multiple and conflicting ways in which Germans and Austrians sought to reconceptualize the relationships between nation, state and politics in the wake of the First World War. Whereas the political right argued that democracy was a foreign imposition, supporters of democracy in both countries went to great lengths to refute these claims. In particular, German and Austrian republicans endeavored to link their fledgling democracies to the established tradition of großdeutsch nationalism – the idea that a German nation-state should include Austria – in an attempt to legitimize their embattled republics. By using nineteenth-century großdeutsch symbols and showing continued support for an Anschluss (political union) even after the Entente forbade it, republicans hoped to create a transborder German national community that would be compatible with a democratic body politic. As a project that investigates the entangled and comparative histories of Germany and Austria, this dissertation makes three contributions to the study of German nationalism and modern Central European history. First, in revealing the pervasiveness of großdeutsch ideas and symbols at this time, I point to the necessity of looking at both Germany and Austria when considering topics such as the redefinition of national identity and the creation of democracy in post-World War I Central Europe. Second, it highlights the need to move beyond the binary categorizations of civic and ethnic nationalisms, which place German nationalism in the latter category. As the republicans’ use of großdeutsch nationalism demonstrates, the creation of a transborder German community was not simply the work of the extreme political right. Third, it contributes to recent scholarship which seeks to move past the entrenched question of why interwar German and Austrian democracies failed. Instead of simply viewing the two republics as failures, it investigates the ways in which citizens engaged with the new form of government, as well as the prospects for the success of democracy in the wake of military defeat. In drawing attention to the differences between the German and Austrian experiments with democracy, this dissertation points to the relative strengths of the Weimar Republic when compared to the First Austrian Republic.

O processo de mercado na escola austríaca moderna. / The market process in modern Austrian economics.Barbieri, Fábio 23 July 2001 (has links)
O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar as contribuições à teoria de processo de mercado feitas pelos principais economistas da Escola Austríaca desde o seu ressurgimento na década de setenta do século XX. Inicialmente situam-se os problemas tratados pela teoria de processo, apresentando-se as contribuições anteriores realizadas por Hayek nas décadas de trinta e quarenta, em especial o que ficou conhecido como o "problema do conhecimento" deste autor. A partir disso, estudam-se as contribuições das duas figuras principais do ressurgimento da escola, Ludwig Lachmann e Israel Kirzner. A investigação privilegia o estudo das implicações do subjetivismo para a teoria do processo de mercado do primeiro e a teoria da atividade empresarial do segundo. Segue-se com o debate ocorrido na década de oitenta que confronta as idéias desses dois autores a respeito da existência de uma tendência ao equilíbrio de mercado. Conclui-se com alguns desenvolvimentos mais recentes da teoria. A obra dos autores, o debate entre eles e as contribuições posteriores são analisadas sob o ponto de vista da epistemologia evolucionária de Popper. / The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the contributions to the theory of market process made by the most important economists of the Austrian School since its revival in the seventies. We initially pose the problems the theory of market process deal with, showing the early contributions to that theory made by Hayek in the 30´s and 40´s, specially what was known latter as his "knowledge problem" After this, we study the contributions of the two leading figures of the revival, Ludwig Lachmann and Israel Kirzner. The investigation focus on the formers study of the implications of subjectivism to market process theory and the latter's theory of entrepreneurship. After that, we deal with the debate that happened in the 80´s, confronting the views of the two authors concerning the existence of a tendency toward market equilibrium. We conclude with some more recent developments of the theory. The work of the authors, the debate among them and the latter contributions are discussed under the view of Popper's evolutionary epistemology.
