Abstract
This paper analyses implications of a proposal, called UDROP, to reform the standards of international debt contracts. The idea is to give borrowers a roll-over option at maturity for a specified length of time. Using recently developed models of financial crises, the paper shows for which type of crisis UDROP is beneficial. Moral hazard of the borrower is one of the problems UDROP faces which can be addressed by appropriately designing the debt contract.

Stages of the Ongoing Global Financial Crisis: Is There a Wandering Asset Bubble?

IWH Discussion Papers,
No. 11,
2008
Abstract
This study argues that the severity of the current global financial crisis is strongly influenced by changeable allocations of the global savings. This process is named a “wandering asset bubble”. Since its original outbreak induced by the demise of the subprime mortgage market and the mortgage-backed securities in the U.S., this crisis has reverberated across other credit areas, structured financial products and global financial institutions. Four distinctive stages of the crisis are identified: the meltdown of the subprime mortgage market, spillovers into broader credit market, the liquidity crisis epitomized by the fallout of Bear Sterns with some contagion effects on other financial institutions, and the commodity price bubble. Monetary policy responses aimed at stabilizing financial markets are proposed.

Abstract
Vor dem Hintergrund des hohen Nachholbedarfes im Umweltschutz der neuen Länder und neuer umweltgesetzlicher Regelungen werden die Marktchancen ostdeutscher An-bieter von Umweltschutzdiensten auf der Basis einer Befragung im Jahr 1995 untersucht. Die Analyse zeigt günstige Perspektiven für die Bereiche Entsorgung und Recycling sowie Altlastensanierung. Die bundesweit geltenden Regelungen des neuen Kreislaufwirtschafts- und Abfallgesetzes dürften auch positive Impulse für die Abfall- und Recyclingbranche in Westdeutschland auslösen.
