Recently, Kronqvist et al. (J Global Optim 64(2):249–272, 2016) rediscovered the supporting hyperplane algorithm of Veinott (Oper Res 15(1):147–152, 1967) and demonstrated its computational benefits for solving convex mixed integer nonlinear programs. In this paper we derive the algorithm...

For over 10 years, the constraint integer programming framework SCIP has been extended by capabilities for the solution of convex and nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs). With the recently published version 8.0, these capabilities have been largely reworked and extended. This...

The relevant economic literature frequently focuses on the impact of credit shocks on housing prices. The doctrine of the New Consensus Macroeconomics completely ignores bank credit. The Great Recession, however, has highlighted the significance of bank credit. The purpose of this contribution...

Recent episodes of housing bubbles, which occurred in several economies after the burst of the United States housing market, suggest studying the evolution of housing prices from a global perspective. We utilize a theoretical model for the purposes of this contribution, which identifies the main...

This paper provides a theoretical explanation of the accumulation process, which accounts for the developments in the financial markets over the recent past. Specifically, our approach is focused on the presence of correlations between physical and financial investment, and how the latter could...

Zusammenfassung Die dynamische Einwirkung von Staatsausgaben und Geldbasis auf das Volkseinkommen: Der Fall Westdeutschland Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit der dynamischen Einwirkung von Staatsausgaben und der Geldbasis auf das Volkseinkommen; er gibt Einsicht in die dynamischen Prozesse,...

The initial introduction of the euro has, against many expectations, been accompanied by a decline in the value of the euro (notably vis-à-vis the dollar and sterling). It has also been introduced at a time of high levels of unemployment within most of the European Union (EU). This paper...

We contribute to the debate on whether the large U.S. federal budget deficits are sustainable in the long run. We model the U.S. government deficit per capita as a threshold autoregressive process. We find evidence that the U.S. budget deficit is sustainable in the long run and that economic...

This paper is concerned with the New Consensus Macroeconomics (NCM) in the case of an open economy. It outlines and explains briefly the main elements of and way of thinking about the macroeconomy from the standpoint of both its theoretical and its policy dimensions. There are a few problems...
