    THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF FINANCE THE ICELANDIC BUBBLE AND BEYOND: INVESTMENT LESSONS FROM HISTORY AND CULTURAL EFFECTS MÁR WOLFGANG MIXA DOCTORAL SCHOOL OF BUSINESS REYKJAVÍK UNIVERSITY 2016 Már Wolfgang Mixa The Icelandic Bubble and Beyond: Investment Lessons From History and Cultural Effects 1. Edition 2016 © The Author ISBN: xxxxxxx ISSN: xxxxxxxx ii Acknowledgements I got a phone call in March 2009 from a person working at Reykjavík University asking me whether I might be interested in writing an article with him. This was a complete surprise. One reason is that Icelanders usually do not call each other for such reasons without knowing each other rather well. I knew this person casually because our children attended the same music school where parents meet each other regularly. Also, despite having written extensively about financial issues in the media for over a decade, no-one had at any point expressed a desire to write with me about the subject. The person, Throstur Olaf Sigurjonsson, asked me to write a paper about financial matters that might become published in a peer-reviewed journal. I had no peers, being in the midst of finishing my MSc in Corporate Finance at that point. Throstur Olaf still convinced me to give it a try. As the writing of the paper progressed, I actually found that it was a learning curve that I enjoyed and had some skills in. My former writing experience had taught me a great deal but writing for journals is still a different beast than setting up interesting discussions in the media.

  • Iceland's Financial Crisis In
    INTERNATIONAL STUDIES INTERDISCIPLINARY POLITICAL AND CULTURAL JOURNAL, Vol. 20, No. 1/2017 113–130, DOI: 10.1515/ipcj-2017-0020 Agnieszka Joanna Legutko* ICELAND’S FINANCIAL CRISIS IN 2008. POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES ABSTRACT: The author analyzes the successful strategy of overcoming financial breakdown in the case study of Iceland. The aim of the article is to verify a hypothesis that the Icelandic model could become a panacea for future crises? A document analysis method is applied to present essential indicators such as GDP and trade balance. With the use of a source analysis method, the collapse of the financial sector is determined as the main cause of the slump. The systematization of crisis events is introduced and deepened by the social and political situation. Changes in the state’s condition after the crash are provided and future forecasts about economic development are discussed. As a summing up, the author disapproves of the hypothesis that the Icelandic model of overcoming the financial breakdown as a panacea for future crises, pointing out that it is only applicable for specific cases and cannot be seen as a magical remedy for every kind of crisis. KEYWORDS: Iceland, small state economy, Icelandic crisis causes, Icelandic crisis 2008, Icelandic banking system, Icelandic EU accession. Introduction According to the Oxford dictionary a crisis is “a time of great danger, difficulty or confusion when problems must be solved or important decisions must be made”. S. Miklaszewski defines a financial crisis as sudden changes in financial markets connected with liquidity shortage of entities, insolvency of participants and state intervention in economic processes.
