Sommario/riassunto

In addition to being a religious countryùover ninety percent of Americans believe in God--the United States is also home to more immigrants than ever before. Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City focuses on the intersection of religion and civic engagement among Miami's immigrant and minority groups. The contributors examine the role of religious organizations in developing social relationships and how these relationships affect the broader civic world. Essays, for example, consider the role of leadership in the promotion and creation of "civic social capital" in a Haitian Catholic church, transnational ties between Cuban Catholics in Miami and Havana, and several African American congregations that serve as key comparisons of civic engagement among minorities. This book is important not only for its theoretical contributions to the sociology of religion, but also because it gives us a unique glimpse into immigrants' civic and religious lives in urban America.

Nota di contenuto

Aus dem Inhalt: Gegenüberstellung einer gleichgewichtsorientierten statischen Effizienzbetrachtung und einer dynamischen Effizienzanalyse - Test auf «schwache» und «halbstrenge» Effizient des Terminkontraktmarktes für Währungen.

Sommario/riassunto

An Stelle der gleichgewichtsorientierten, mit rationalen Erwartungen verknüpften statischen Effizienzbetrachtung wird eine dynamische Effizienzanalyse angestrebt, für die heterogene Erwartungen und Handel zu subjektiv falschen Preisen konstitutiv ist. Der konkrete Untersuchungsgegenstand ist der Terminkontrakthandel für Währungen am International Monetary Markt in Chicago. Es wurde eine umfangreiche Untersuchung dieses Marktes auf «schwache» Effizienz durchgeführt. Ausserdem erlaubte eine für Terminkontrakthandel typische Transaktionsmöglichkeit, das Spreading, die Durchführung von Tests auf eine über die «schwache» Effizienz hinausgehende strengere Form der Effizienz.
