Causes of Japan's Low Inflation in the 21st Century
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 1.3, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: The objective of this paper is to not only give an overview of Japan’s Lost Decades and its pioneering use of monetary and fiscal policy measures, but to also investigate why Japan was unable to lift itself out of the deflationary slump. Over the years, the literature has identified a variety of different factors, that have temporarily pushed the Japanese inflation rate into negative territory, but no single explanation was yet able to reveal the permanence of it. This paper will hence follow the literature in considering different factors, ...
The South Sea Bubble of 1720. An Analysis of the First Financial Bubble
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: This paper analyses how far the events of 1720 actually constituted a bubble. While there is an ongoing discussion of what a "bubble" actually is, this study will sidestep much of the formal discussion and focus more on presenting stylised facts that any theory would need to be able to explain. Consequently, this paper will follow Quinn and Turner (2020) in defining a "bubble" as having two parts: a period of sharply increasing prices followed by a period of sharply decreasing prices. This definition has the advantage of not hinging on the cause of the bubble ...
A Companion to Nazi Germany
A Deep Exploration of the Rise, Reign, and Legacy of the Third Reich For its brief existence, National Socialist Germany was one of the most destructive regimes in the history of humankind. Since that time, scholarly debate about its causes has volleyed continuously between the effects of political and military decisions, pathological development, or modernity gone awry. Was terror the defining force of rule, or was popular consent critical to sustaining the movement? Were the German people sympathetic to Nazi ideology, or were they radicalized by social manipulation and powerful propaganda? Was the “Final Solution” the motivation for the Third Reich’s rise to power, or simply the outc...
Economic Growth. Does Finance Matter?
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1.0, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: While it is fair to say that almost all countries are better off than they were 70 years ago, this wealth seems to be distributed ever more unequally. One of the most significant questions - not just in economics, but social sciences in general - is how these differences came to be and what can be done to reduce them. Why do some countries thrive while others perish? What determines their growth? This thesis explores one aspect of economic growth: the importance of a well developed, that is deep, accessible, efficient, and stable financial system. The discus...
Strangers in the Land: Traveling Texts, Imagined Others, and Captured Souls in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Traditions in Late Antique and Mediaeval Times
This volume explores the ways in which representatives of different monotheistic traditions experienced themselves as “the other” or were perceived and described as such by their contemporaries. This central category – which includes not only those of different religions, but also converts, foreigners, sectarians, and women – is studied from various perspectives in a range of texts composed by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim authors during late antique and mediaeval times. Conceptualizations of such “others” are often intrinsically related to the idea of exile, another important category that is analysed in this work.
Dictionary of American Family Names
Where did your surname come from? Do you know how many people in the United States share it? What does it tell you about your lineage? From the editor of the highly acclaimed Dictionary of Surnames comes the most extensive compilation of surnames in America. The result of 10 years of research and 30 consulting editors, this massive undertaking documents 70,000 surnames of Americans across the country. A reference source like no other, it surveys each surname giving its meaning, nationality, alternate spellings, common forenames associated with it, and the frequency of each surname and forename. The Dictionary of American Family Names is a fascinating journey throughout the multicultural United States, offering a detailed look at the meaning and frequency of surnames throughout the country. For students studying family genealogy, others interested in finding out more about their own lineage, or lexicographers, the Dictionary is an ideal place to begin research.
An Analysis of El Salvador’s Failed Bitcoin Experiment
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, grade: 1,3, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: This paper explores Bitcoin’s potential as an alternative to a central bank-backed currency by analysing El Salvador’s recent adoption of it as a legal tender. Such monetary experiments are rare, providing researchers with a unique possibility to identify the macroeconomic effects of monetary regime changes. I find that a medium of exchange is not simply created by a government adopting a new legal tender but by the broad acceptance of it by the populace, which occurs due to substantial relative benefits of the new currency to the status quo. In particular, I am going to argue that El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment failed, because the people of El Salvador did not perceive the need for a new currency and because Bitcoin does not fulfil any of the traditional functions of a currency.

Musiksoziologie in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Die Musiksoziologie hat in der Bundesrepublik eine marginale Stellung inne. Im Vergleich zu anderen Teilgebieten der Soziologie ist sie quantivativ schwach entwickelt und inhaltlich stark fragmentiert. In dieser Arbeit werden soziologische Beiträge zur Musik über fünf Jahrzehnte erstmals umfassend dokumentiert und analysiert. Für die Bereiche der Klassikerrezeption, der inhaltlichen Thematisierung von Musik, ihrer Produktion und Rezeption sowie des gesellschaftlichen Kontextes werden bestehende Forschungsschwerpunkte, beispielsweise Massenmedien, die Entwicklung des bürgerlichen Musiklebens oder Hörpräferenzen, dargestellt. Wie die Analyse zeigt, bleiben zahlreiche Forschungsdesiderate offen, etwa hinsichtlich Popularmusik, vergleichenden Untersuchungen und der Rezeption soziologischer Klassiker. Die Arbeit macht eine Fülle von Material zugänglich und ordnet es kritisch ein. Damit bietet sie einen gründlichen Überblick über die Musiksoziologie und vielfältige Ansatzpunkte für künftige Forschung.
