Effects of inflation on the distribution of income in Italy, 1953-1962
Creators: name: SPAVENTA, L.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Price level, Italy, inflation, income distribution, real purchasing power
subject: E24, E31, O15

description: In the ten years 1953-62, the average price level in Italy rose every year, with the exception of 1959. The present article examines the effects of this inflationary process on income distribution. To do so the author first determines the extent to which each productive sector contributed to the creation of the total surplus of money product over real product, and how such excess was distributed amongst the various income categories in each sector. Then, the losses in real purchasing power these categories suffered are examined. Finally, the net outcome between gains in money product and losses for each category is found. According to the author, the data suggests peculiarly Ricardian features: the increase in prices was largely due to a rise in rents and of sectoral incomes in which are hidden some forms of rent, in the twofold aspect of privileged positions and inefficiency.

Evaluations of Italian national wealth in the last 50 years
Creators: name: GIANNONE, A.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, wealth, Corrado Gini, methodology
subject: E01, E21, N34

description: The present work analyses wealth in Italy over the past 50 years. It is chiefly devoted to the main work by Corrado Gini from 1914, which has constituted a model and source of inspiration for scholars in this field for many years. This work was recently brought up to date by a group of statisticians of the Italian Central Institute of Statistics, who have taken into account new material that has been added to the body of knowledge. Here, the author draws upon this work and occasionally on other studies by Gini to refer to several outstanding points: (a) problems of a methodological character bearing on the evaluations of wealth; (b) available evaluations of Italian wealth; (c) comparisons of Italy’s wealth with that of other countries.

Official intervention in the forward exchange market: some recent experiences
Creators: name: BLOOMFIELD, A.I.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Forward exchange market, monetary policy
subject: E52, F31

description: In recent years monetary authorities have shown an increased willingness to operate in the forward exchange market as a means of influencing the international flow of short-term funds in desired directions and as a substitute for or supplement to interest-rate changes or other instruments of policy. Recent forward exchange policy provides examples of a number of techniques undertaken in differing circumstances and with differing underlying objectives in mind. However, although the theoretical literature on forward exchange policy continues to grow, almost no attempt has yet been made to assemble and analyse the growing body of information available on the official forward operations of the past five years. The present article employs the available information in order to make a comparative survey of official intervention in the forward market since the restoration of convertibility. JEL: E52, F31

description: This paper is about the information-seeking and information-sharing behavior on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) of high school students who participated in the Infomediary Campaign in 2014. This seeks to answer five research questions: (1) What are the indicators that searching and sharing of information by the infomediaries transpired? (2) What are the characteristics of infomediaries who are most likely to share information on CSA? (3) What sort of information can be competently shared by high school students? (4) How is information transferred from the information source (PhilRice) to the farmers? (5) What evidence suggests that information transferred was put to good use by the intended recipients? A survey (N=388) was conducted among eight randomly selected schools, from the pool of 108 schools, nationwide. Focus group discussions, individual interviews, and participant observation were likewise conducted. The Stakeholder Theory and Livelihoods Approach were combined to unpack the findings in this research. Results show that females are more likely to share information than males (p=.071). Land tenurial status (p=.430) and familial background (p=.052) do not seem to influence the information-seeking behavior of young people. Information that is easy to understand and reinforced elsewhere was shared often by students as compared with more complex ones. Several pathways were generated in documenting the infomediation process on CSA with the schools as the nucleus of agricultural information. These are: (1) PhilRice to farmers, (2) PhilRice to teachers to farmers, and (3) PhilRice to teachers to students to farmers.
Foreign bond issues in European markets

Subjects: subject: Bond market, Europe, EEC, capital markets
subject: F30, F36, G15

description: After the presentation of the project to introduce an “interest equalization tax” in the United States, it has recently been argued that the international market to handle bond issues should be moved to Europe. The present study argues that only by a reorganization of the markets, a revision of certain directives now being followed in monetary and financial policy, and the introduction of new formulas for bond issues will Europe be able to fulfil the function of an international financial centre. The author first touches on some structural problems of the EEC countries’ capital markets. Subsequently, an examination is made of the conditions necessary for establishing closer link between the European markets. Finally, the techniques recently developed for issuing international loans are examined and the means for furthering the evolution now in progress are indicated. JEL: F30, F36, G15

subject: subsidy
subject: agriculture

description: In India agriculture contributes 14 percent to GDP and provides subsistence to two-thirds of the population. One of the top priorities of the Indian government is to provide food security to more than 1.25 billion people. Hence, increasing farm productivity is viewed as a primary goal for the government. Agricultural growth, with its forward and backward links to the industry and service sectors, is directly linked to India’s economic growth. Using national time-series data, this study estimates a demand function for fertilizer using a simple linear regression model and explores the relationship between demand and various non-price factors. The results from the regression analysis found that non-price factors are more important than the price of fertilizer in determining fertilizer demand. This study recommends that to increase agricultural output, government subsidy policies need to be geared toward the use of balanced nutrients for improving soil conditions, at the same time, provide an incentive to fertilizer manufacturing firms to develop new environmentally-sustainable products for agriculture.
The problem of international monetary reform: major questions and prospective initial area of agreement
Creators: name: TRIFFIN, R.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: International monetary system, reform, flexible exchange rate, monetary reserves, institutional framework
subject: E42, F33

description: The Group of Ten’s exclusion of either gold revaluation or flexible exchange rates as solutions to the international monetary problem suggests the continued use of reserve media other than gold in order to feed the world pool of international monetary reserves. These two media could theoretically take the form of either commodity reserves or credit reserves. However, current discussions are likely to focus on a better organization of the latter, which play an increasingly important role in the present monetary system. The present article discusses four issues that arise from this: the overall amounts and stability, the distribution among reserve holders, the distribution among reserve debtors, the institutional framework for implementation.

Subjects: subject: Means-end model, balanced growth
subject: F43, O40

description: The article shows some affinities that can be found in the author’s arguments underlying the criticism of the means-end model and those underlying the criticism of the doctrine of balanced growth, ideas formulated in different contexts and for different reasons. The author first briefly summarizes the main features of both models and the criticism of them. The convergence of the underlying principles of these criticisms is then discussed. Finally, this is linked to some current notions of planning in underdeveloped countries, in which the notions of balanced growth and of the means-end model converge. JEL: F43, O40

"The two sides of the same coin" : a critical study of the freedom of religious expression on the current headscarf controversies
Creators: name: Olyaei, Shiva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Freedom of religion and religious expression are components of the right to the most basic and fundamental human rights due to every single individual. However these rights are violated in different areas of the world such as France, Turkey and Switzerland at different intensities. One such violation of the freedom of religious expression is found around the Islamic headscarf as a powerful religious symbol worn by Muslim women and its effect in the public secular education systems for a variety of reasons. Two particular cases, those of Dahlab and Sahin are noteworthy because of the implications of the decisions brought down by the ECtHR as well as the dissenting points of view. While the court acknowledged that the appellants may have worn the Islamic headscarf with harmless intentions, the obligation of the state to endorse denominational neutrality may be brought into question. As a result, it will be shown that the identity of women is an often marginalized issue as the courts question the purpose and significance of the Islamic headscarf for Muslim women. The Islamic veil as a mature phenomenon seeks to emerge as a dynamic identity for contemporary Muslim women, actively involved in the societal sphere, as a generation seeking to uphold human rights in order to combat with extremism and fanaticism. Furthermore, the headscarf issue raised a significant number of concerns due to the manner in which the ECtHR approached the debate, that is, from a liberal secularist point of view, especially in regards to the process of evaluation of the cases at hand however, the importance of the matter lies in the sudden switch to a fundamental secularism approach when determining and justifying the judgment handed down. This brings the legitimacy of the ECtHR into question as it appears to take a form of state paternalism, depriving women of the choice to wear it freely. In conclusion, the hypothesis that secular fundamentalism as found in some European countries does not put the human rights principles on the freedom of religious expression in less jeopardy than the religious fundamentalism in some Middle Eastern countries proved to be true.
On the implementation of monetary programs: the Italian case

Subjects: subject: Monetary policy implementation, Italy, liquidity
subject: E52

description: The article discusses the techniques (or instruments) through which certain monetary policies might be implemented, as opposed to the choice of the policies themselves. In particular, the author is concerned with the implementation of monetary policy in Italy. First, a simple monetary policy model is proposed, designed to illustrate the interrelationships between the behaviour of certain magnitudes and total liquidity changes. Recent monetary trends and policies in Italy are then reviewed. The model is then employed as a tool for programming before some observations on seasonal behaviour are considered. Finally, the outlook for the Italian economy in 1964 is analysed. JEL: E52

The legal environment of corporate income taxation for FDI in China : policy, changes, risks
Creators: name: Jin, Zhe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Foreign direct investment (FDI) was unknown to Chinese people before the opening policy in 1979, but since then China's economy has been surging ahead in the past twenty eight years. As one aspect of the FDI policy, I focused on the corporate taxation field to be my research interest, and the topic of my thesis. In the thesis, the reader will learn how FDI developed in China and degree of FDI development. Also, I provide the reader with China's tax system and policy-oriented in as much detail as possible, most of which is the tax incentive policy towards the FDI in China. However, the policies and incentives raise some issues. As the result of offering FDI tax preference, Chinese government tax revenue as a percentage of GDP has been declining steadily. Problems such as tax avoidance and evasion, and local "fake" FDI entities are getting serious. The new Corporate Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China (CIT Law) was passed by the PRC National People's Congress on March 16 2007 and will take effect on January 2008. When China entered into the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, compliance with the general rules required China improve its tax system as soon as possible. The CIT law section in the thesis includes the policy-changing behind the legislation and expected influence on the FDI in China in the future. As a result of the changes to be brought about by the CIT Law, foreign and domestic business in China must adapt to the new tax regime, and I offer some recommendations in that regard.

Second, we provide all-order predictions for ${\rm p}{\rm p} \to μ^+ ν_μ{\rm e}^- \bar ν_{\rm p}+\mathrm{jets}$ using merged parton-shower simulations that also include approximate EW effects. A fully inclusive sample for WW production is compared to the fixed-order computations for exclusive zero- and one-jet selections. The various higher-order effects are studied in detail at the level of cross sections and differential distributions for realistic experimental set-ups. Our study confirms that merged predictions are significantly more stable than the fixed-order ones in particular regarding ratios between the two processes.

Triangular lattice Majorana-Hubbard model: Mean field theory and DMRG on a width-4 torus

description: Majorana modes can arise as zero energy bound states in a variety of solid state systems. A two-dimensional phase supporting these quasiparticles, for instance, emerges on the surface of a topological superconductor with the zero modes localized at the cores of vortices. At low energies, such a setup can be modeled by Majorana modes that interact with each other on the Abrikosov lattice. In experiments, the lattice is usually triangular. Motivated by the practical relevance, we explore the phase diagram of this Hubbard-like Majorana model using a combination of mean field theory and numerical simulation of thin torus geometries through the density matrix renormalization group algorithm. Our analysis indicates that attractive interactions between Majoranas can drive a phase transition in an otherwise gapped topological state.

Subjects: subject: Fixed exchange rates, balance of payments deficit, unemployment, income-race theory, policy, Denmark, economic coordination, distribution of income
subject: E24, E25, E64, F32

description: In the post-war period, under the Bretton Woods regime of fixed exchange rates, Danish economic policy followed a zigzag course. With employment low and balance-of-payments satisfactory, expansionary measures were taken. However, once expansion had gathered momentum the threat of balance-of-payments deficit re-emerged and the process was reversed, resulting in a rise in unemployment. In an attempt to explain this phenomenon the Radical Party proposed the “income-race theory”, suggesting a need for co-ordination of group interests in order to achieve financial stability and a just distribution of income. The present work analyses the income-race theory and the establishment of the Council for Economic Coordination that it inspired. The author considers the Council’s scope, its policy recommendations and their impact in resolving Denmark’s incomes policy problem. JEL: E24, E25, E64, F32

Considerations on the management of banks with numerous branches in the common market countries. Variations on the theme of productivity
Creators: name: ROUX, A.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Banking, productivity, staff, deposits, labour, operations
subject: G21, J24

description: The work is concerned with developing a general concept of productivity in banking. The study finds its origin in the simple observation that if the number of staff in large banks of different countries is divided by total balances or deposits, the quotient will vary from one bank to another, and even more, from the banks in one country to those in others. This criterion implies that the volume of balances or deposits equates banking operations. Thus, for the sake of simplicity, the author takes the ratio of staff/deposits to indicate the productivity of labour. The study is based on the data for the financial year 1959 for the major banks with large numbers of branches in Federal Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands. The methodology used is that of counting the operations characteristic of the main traditional departments of a bank and the number of employees by department, before relating these numbers to the deposits of all maturities of the clientele.

Overdrafts and monetary policy

Subjects: subject: Overdraft system, bank lending, monetary policy, money supply, credit
subject: E51, E52, G21

description: The article analyses the overdraft system of bank lending and its potentially harmful effects on monetary policy. From the point of view of the economy as a whole, and for the purposes of monetary policy, three features characterize a banking system that uses the overdraft, as contrasted with the fixed loan, method of lending. First, a different significance attaches to “money supply” as an indicator of liquidity. Secondly, a different significance attaches to bank advances as an indicator of the volume of bank credit and of its effects on the level of spending. Finally, and most importantly, the monetary authorities face an additional difficulty in their efforts to keep the economy on an even keel. The author examines each of these features in turn.

subject: agricultural extension service

description: While postharvest operations account for more than 55 percent of the economic value of the agricultural sector, losses are high, the science or technology is relatively new, and the postharvest horticulture extension delivery system in the Philippines has not met the challenge. Thus, the delivery of extension services to the people involved needed to be assessed. Primary data from key informant interviews and secondary data from available publications and reports were analyzed. The two major extension providers for postharvest handling of fresh fruits, vegetables, and cut flowers are the Postharvest Horticulture Training and Research Center (PHTRC) of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), and the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech), an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA). From 2000–2010, the PHTRC implemented 93 percent of national extension projects and services in terms of training (51 training programs with 1,132 participants), technical assistance, production and dissemination of information (24 extension materials with 21,105 copies), and a few action-research projects. On the other hand, out of the remaining 7 percent of the extension projects, which were implemented by Philmech, 99 percent were related to development and establishment of tramlines, cold chain facilities, and facilities support for hot water tanks and packinghouses including 16 training programs with 437 participants. The number of extension workers who have been trained over the last three decades who could be potential trainers of growers and traders was only 4.8 percent of the total number of participants of training programs of both institutions. The number of personnel in extension delivery was also reduced due to budget constraints for PHTRC and rationalization moves for PhilMech. Twenty-five personnel, 10 from PHTRC and 15 from PhilMech rendered extension services. All PHTRC staff and three from PhilMech were trained on perishables handling. Government support to extension of postharvest handling of horticultural perishables remains negligible. The major recommendations to improve the extension delivery system on postharvest horticulture sector are training of more extension workers in this field and establishment of zonal centers on postharvest research and extension.
Interest rates in France
Creators: name: BERGER, P.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: France, interest rates, monetary policy, financial system, capital markets
subject: E43, E52

description: As in most countries, the structure of interest rates in France is relatively complex, resulting from conditions in which the direct matching up is effected between the supply of and demand for capital by the various economic agents. However, the interventions of financial institutions as well as of the monetary authorities influence, both directly and indirectly, the way in which interest rates are determined. The present article provides a detailed analysis of interest rate formation in France. The author first examines the basic position and objectives of monetary and economic policy before considering in turn the interest rates on short-term and long-term markets. It is shown that while interest rates still play a part in adjusting demand to supply on the capital markets, this role is lo longer a dominant one. Moreover, there are still partitions which protect rates of interest whose artificial character impedes the easy and regular matching up of supply and demand as a whole. JEL: E43, E52

description: Magnetic fields of order $10^1-10^2$ gauss that are present in the envelopes of red giant stars are ejected in common envelope scenarios. These fields could be responsible for the launching of magnetically driven winds in proto-planetary nebulae. Using 2D simulations of magnetized winds interacting with an envelope drawn from a 3D simulation of the common envelope phase, we study the confinement, heating, and magnetic field development of post-common envelope winds. We find that the ejected magnetic field can be enhanced via compression by factors up to $\sim 10^4$ in circumbinary disks during the self-regulated phases. We find values for the kinetic energy of the order of $10^{46}$ erg that explain the large values inferred in proto-planetary nebula outflows. We show that the interaction of the formed circumbinary disk with a spherical, stellar wind produces a "tapered" flow that is almost indistinguishable from an imposed tapered flow. This increases the uncertainty of the origin of proto-planetary nebula winds, which could be either stellar, circumstellar (stellar accretion disk), circumbinary (circumbinary accretion disk), or a combination of all three. Within this framework, a scenario for self-collimation of weakly magnetized winds is discussed, which can explain the two objects where the collimation process is observationally resolved, HD 101584 and Hen 3-1475. An explanation for the equatorial, molecular hydrogen emission in CRL 2688 is also presented.

description: Foreign exchange dealers and senior bank officials are still inclined to think that their operations must exclusively rely on experience, common sense and intuition, and must avoid being “contaminated” by foreign exchange rate theory. This is a relatively recent trend that only began after the First World War, while in the past centuries many bankers engaged in practical foreign exchange operations were not only aware of theoretical relations, but in many instances actually formulated them. The present article reviews the history of some such examples, and considers the most basic determinants of the exchange rate of which bankers and dealers, although unaware of the theoretical relations, are in practice familiar. The problem is to be able to know when each theory is valid and when it becomes expedient to shift the theoretical bases of foreign exchange operations. JEL:

description: We have studied a class of marginally jammed states in a system of hard disks confined in a narrow channel---a quasi-one-dimensional system---whose exponents are not those predicted by theories valid in the infinite dimensional limit. The exponent $γ$ which describes the distribution of small gaps takes the value $1$ rather than the infinite dimensional value $0.41269\dots$. Our work shows that there exist jammed states not found within the tiling approach of Ashwin and Bowles. The most dense of these marginal states is an unusual state of matter that is asymptotically crystalline.

Money, liquid assets, velocity and monetary policy
Creators: name: GARVY, G.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Liquid assets, GNP, velocity of money, US, monetary policy
subject: E40, E50, E52

description: The present article analyses the significance of the rise in liquid assets in relation to GNP, the related increase in the velocity of money and the declining role of money as a financial asset in the U.S. economy. Moreover, the significance of these developments for monetary policy is considered. The author argues that far from being inimical to the execution of monetary policy, changes in velocity are actually another aspect of the system of checks and balances that characterize the operations of the economic system.

Labour cost in Italy and the E.E.C. countries
Creators: name: VANNUTELLI, C.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Labour costs, EEC, Italy
subject: E24, J30

description: The European Community Statistical Institute (ECSI) began conducting annual surveys of labour costs in 14 industrial sectors of the Community countries in 1959. The present article illustrates the principal results of the fourth survey that relates to 1962 and is now in course of publication. The analysis is confined to data regarding to labour cost shown as borne by the enterprises, and does not take account of studies made by ECSI of workers’ incomes in various countries. In particular, the author considers the data on the cost of labour in Italy. The data is brought up to date for 1963 and 1964 to show the changes that have taken place in Italy’s position with respect to previous years. While in the surveys tom 1959 and 1960 Italy was shown to have the lowest labour cost among Common Market countries, it now comes in first in the classification and has in almost every case registered a labour cost very near to the highest figure.

Topology Optimization and 3D printing of Large Deformation Compliant Mechanisms for Straining Biological Tissues

description: This paper presents a synthesis approach in a density-based topology optimization setting to design large deformation compliant mechanisms for inducing desired strains in biological tissues. The modelling is based on geometrical nonlinearity together with a suitably chosen hypereleastic material model, wherein the mechanical equilibrium equations are solved using the total Lagrangian finite element formulation. An objective based on least-square error with respect to target strains is formulated and minimized with the given set of constraints and the appropriate surroundings of the tissues. To circumvent numerical instabilities arising due to large deformation in low stiffness design regions during topology optimization, a strain-energy based interpolation scheme is employed. The approach uses an extended robust formulation i.e. the eroded, intermediate and dilated projections for the design description as well as variation in tissue stiffness. Efficacy of the synthesis approach is demonstrated by designing various compliant mechanisms for providing different target strains in biological tissue constructs. Optimized compliant mechanisms are 3D-printed and their performances are recorded in a simplified experiment and compared with simulation results obtained by a commercial software.

Photoinduced electronic and spin properties of two-dimensional electron gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling under perpendicular magnetic fields

description: We theoretically investigate photoinduced phenomena induced by time-periodic driving fields in two-dimensional electron gases under perpendicular magnetic fields with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using perturbation theory, we provide analytical results for the Floquet-Landau energy spectrum appearing due to THz radiation. By employing the resulting photo-modulated states, we compute the dynamical evolution of the spin polarization function for an initially prepared coherent state. We find that the interplay of the magnetic field, Rashba spin-orbit interaction and THz radiation can lead to inversion of the spin polarization. The dynamics also induces fractional revivals and non-trivial beating patterns in the autocorrelation function due to interference of the photo-modulated quantum states. We also calculate the transverse photo-assisted conductivity in the linear response regime using Kubo formalism and analyze the impact of the radiation field and Rashba spin-orbit interaction. In the static limit, we find that our results reduce to well-known expressions of the conductivity in non-relativistic and quasi-relativistic (topological insulator surfaces) two-dimensional electron gas thoroughly described in the literature. We discuss the possible experimental detection of our theoretical prediction and their relevance for spin-orbit physics at high magnetic fields.

Economic adjustments within the European Economic Community
Creators: name: INGRAM, J.C.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: EEC, economic union, political union, autonomy, policy instruments
subject: F15

description: The European Economic Community seeks to combine a clearly defined, completely integrated economic union with a rather vaguely defined political union. How well such a combination can succeed remains to be seen. The present article considers the crucial, yet little discussed issue of whether full economic union itself requires a federal state with great political autonomy, or rather economic union can exist with member states retaining significant elements of political and economic autonomy. The author examines the extent to which full economic union of the sort envisaged in the EEC leaves scope for domestic autonomy in each member nation. The ability of a member nation to pursue internal and external balance through the use of policy instruments remaining under its control is also examined. The author argues that internal and external balance is already difficult and thus should not be made more so for members of the EEC. JEL: F15

Signature dependent triaxiality for shape evolution from superdeformation in rapidly rotating $^{40}$Ca and $^{41}$Ca

description: We investigate the possible occurrence of the highly-elongated shapes near the yrast line in $^{40}$Ca and $^{41}$Ca at high spins on the basis of the nuclear energy-density functional method. Not only the superdeformed (SD) yrast configuration but the yrare configurations on top of the SD band are described by solving the cranked Skyme-Kohn-Sham equation in the three-dimensional coordinate-space representation. It is suggested that some of the excited SD bands undergo band crossings and develop to the hyperdeformation (HD) beyond $J \simeq 25 \hbar$ in $^{40}$Ca. We find that the change of triaxiality in response to rotation plays a decisive role for the shape evolution towards HD, and that this is governed by the signature quantum number of the last occupied orbital at low spins. This mechanism can be verified in an experimental observation of the positive-parity SD yrast signature-partner bands in $^{41}$Ca, one of which ($α=+1/2$) undergoes crossings with the HD band while the other ($α=-1/2$) shows the smooth evolution from the collective rotation at low spins to the non-collective rotation with oblate shape at the termination.

Masterarbeit

description: Die Masterarbeit setzt sich mit systemisch ausgerichteter Beratung und Förderung im Prozess der Zusammenarbeit mit Eltern im Kontext Heilpädagogischer Früherziehung auseinander. Anhand von zwei Einzelfallstudien wurde untersucht, inwiefern systemische Beratung in Kombination mit systemischer Förderung wirksam ist. Dabei wurde die Erweiterung der Erziehungskompetenz zweier Mütter in den Mittelpunkt des Forschungsinteresses gestellt. Die individuelle Beratung und Begleitung dieser Mütter wurden anhand des Lösungsorientierten Fragebogens von Bamberger (2005), eines eigens erstellten Beobachtungsleitfadens sowie systemischer Skalierung überprüft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen zum einen die Möglichkeiten systemisch ausgerichteter Früherziehung auf, zum anderen die Chancen ihrer Wirksamkeit sowohl auf das System Familie als auch auf das System Heilpädagogische Früherziehung.
