Please do not quote 8 December 2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON A NEW PARADIGM IN HOUSING POLICY December 12-13, 2001, Shilla Hotel Seoul, Republic of Korea REGULATING HOUSING MARKETS IN A NEW GLOBAL ERA: DO WE HAVE A FRAMEWORK? 1 Bertrand RENAUD, Ph. D. [email protected] [email protected] Conference DRAFT subject to revision. Please do not quote [Printed on: Thursday, December 08, 2011, 20:24. Version 7] “The challenge is to improve our understanding of the linkages between the financial sector and real activity” Donald Kohn, Vice-Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Speech, November 2008 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Challenge of regulating housing markets for stability and social access in a new era The global financial and economic crisis of 2007-09 (GFC) has ushered us into a new global economic, social, political and environmental era. Prior to the global financial crisis, in high income economies decades of financial liberalization and innovation had seen quickening waves of housing price cycles of increasing amplitude, especially in the U.S. that has been the dominant economy. (FIGURE 1). We expect that many national housing systems will now perform differently from the way they did during the Great Moderation and the great liquidity boom that fed the global housing boom.2 National policy makers are confronted collectively with the challenge of regulating housing markets to make them more robust and achieve two things simultaneously: on one hand prevent the recurrence of the large bubbles that triggered a systemic financial crisis in the US and several other Western economies, on the other hand insure that the housing system provides access to a socially acceptable level of housing services for all households across all forms of tenure: ownership, private rental and social rental. -
Der Hüter Des Schatzes
Politik - 17 | 5 | 2013 HELMUT KOHLS GHOSTWRITER Der Hüter des Schatzes Von Holger Schmale Heribert Schwan war viele Jahre lang der Ghostwriter von Helmut Kohl. Der Mann, der im Namen des Altkanzlers schrieb. Künftig will er selbst als Biograf auftreten – mit Hilfe eines kostbaren Archivs, zu dem nur er alleine Zugang hat. Der BMW parkt mitten auf der Zufahrt zum Kanzleramt. Die Fahrertür steht offen, hinter dem Steuer sitzt Heribert Schwan und liest Zeitung. Die Sonne scheint, Vögel zwitschern, aus der Ferne ist das Stampfen eines Schiffsmotors zu hören. Es ist eine Bonner Idylle, denn diese stille Zufahrt führt nicht zum Heribert Schwan hat 630 Stunden lang mit Kanzleramt von Angela Merkel, sondern zu dem von Helmut Kohl. Sechzehn Helmut Kohl gesprochen. Und immer lief ein Jahre hat er hier regiert. Es ist ein guter Platz, seinem Geist nachzuspüren. Tonband mit. Foto: Matthias Jung/laif Deshalb dieser Treffpunkt mit seinem Biografen und Ghostwriter. Er ist oft bei Kohl in diesem als Sparkasse verspotteten Bau gewesen, der nun das Entwicklungshilfeministerium beherbergt. Drei dicke Bände mit Memoiren Helmut Kohls hat er geschrieben, dazu das Tagebuch über die Spendenaffäre, das im Jahr 2000 zu einem echten Bestseller wurde. In keinem dieser Bücher findet sich der Name von Heribert Schwan. Und doch ist der 1944 geborene Journalist und Historiker aus Köln der Mann, der so viel wie kein Zweiter über das Leben des heute schwerbehinderten, einst so mächtigen Kanzlers und CDU-Vorsitzenden weiß. Und er ist der Besitzer eines umkämpften Schatzes. 630 Stunden an 105 Tagen haben die beiden Männer 2001 und 2002 zusammengesessen, und die ganze Zeit ist das Tonbandgerät von Schwan mitgelaufen. -
The Return of Geo-Economics: Globalisation and National Security
perspectives The Return of Geo-economics: Globalisation and National Security Mark P. Thirlwell S e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 0 The Lowy Institute for International Policy is an independent international policy think tank. Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia – economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Lowy Institute Perspectives are occasional papers and speeches on international events and policy. The views expressed in this paper are the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute for International Policy. The return of geoeconomics: Globalisation and national security 1 Mark Thirlwell Globalisation, international economics and national security Inevitably, thinking about our national security environment requires grappling with a wide range of issues. These include those found in the traditional security sphere as well as such nontraditional security challenges as natural disasters, climate change and pandemics. It also involves understanding the changing international economic environment, including the far reaching implications of globalisation. In particular, I think it’s extremely hard to argue with the proposition that the current international environment is one that is marked by an increasingly dense entanglement of issues related to international economics, national security and foreign policy. -

This report will help guide you through the thicket, and will help us as a city to plot our own course as we determine the best possible form of governance for Londoners. Boris Johnson Mayor of London 5 Foreword by Gerard Lyons The world economy is changing dramatically with new economic powerhouses like China, India, Nigeria and Mexico, new trade corridors with flows of goods, commodities, remittances, portfolio and direct investment flows between more and more regions of the world. There is greater potential innovation and investment, medical advances and new technology. There are many more people too, as populations grow, people live longer, new consumer markets emerge to sell into, and there are new networks of people across the globe. London, the UK and Europe need to ensure they position themselves in this changing and growing global economy. Cites, countries, companies and citizens need to play to their strengths, adapt and change and embrace this new globality. It is in this context that the issue of the UK and the European Union needs to be addressed. -
