Sommario/riassunto

Diese Arbeit ist die erste monographische Darstellung der russischen absurden Literatur. Der Begriff des Absurden wird dabei philosophisch verstanden. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Werke der Leningrader Schriftsteller Daniil Charms und Aleksandr Vvedenskij - beide waren Mitglieder der Künstlergruppe "Obériu" - und Werke des Moskauer Schriftstellers Vladimir Kazakov. Die theoretische Basis der Arbeit bilden Untersuchungskriterien, die von der westlichen absurden Literatur, insbesondere von Samuel Becketts Drama "Warten auf Godot", abstrahiert sind.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper constructs a coincident indicator for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) area business cycle. The resulting coincident indicator provides a reliable measure of the GCC business cycle; over the last decade, the GCC coincident index and the real GDP growth have moved closely together. Since the indicator is constructed using a small number of common factors, the strong correlation between the indicator and real GDP growth points to a high degree of commonality across GCC economies. The timing and direction of movements in macroeconomic variables are characterized with respect to the coincident indicator. Finally, to obtain a meaningful economic interpretation of the latent factors, their behavior is compared to the observed economic variables.
