The evolving field of the economics of terrorism has been and continues to be the subject of much research. Professor Enders, in this authoritative research review, charts the development of this topic over the past century. The areas discussed include incentive regulation, competition in generation, market power, transmission and system operation as well as retail competition and future developments.

The Political Economy of Terrorism: Second Edition presents a widely accessible political economy approach to the study of terrorism. It applies economic methodology theoretical and empirical combined with political analysis and realities to the study of domestic and transnational terrorism. In so doing, the book provides both a qualitative and quantitative investigation of terrorism in a balanced up-to-date presentation that informs students, policy makers, researchers, and the general reader of the current state of knowledge. Included are historical aspects, a discussion of watershed events, the rise of modern-day terrorism, examination of current trends, the dilemma of liberal democracies, evaluation of counterterrorism, analysis of hostage incidents, and much more. The new edition expands coverage of every chapter, adds a new chapter on terrorist network structures and organization, accounts for changes in the Department of Homeland Security, and the USA Patriot Act, and insurance against terrorism. Rational-actor models of terrorist and government behavior and game-theoretic analysis are presented for readers with no prior theoretical training. Where relevant, the authors display graphs using data from International Terrorism: Attributes of Terrorist Events (ITERATE), the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), and other public-access data sets.

Die Bestimmung des erzielten und des ausschuttbaren Gewinns der Unterneh mung ist von grosser praktischer Bedeutung fur Unternehmensleiter, Aktionare, Wertpapierberater und nicht zuletzt fur den Steuergesetzgeber. Hinter dieser prak tischen Fragestellung verbirgt sich aber eine Fulle theoretischer Probleme, die bisher weder ausreichend analysiert noch viel weniger gelost worden sind. In der Frage des Gewinnbegriffs steht Endres auf dem Boden einer reinen Geldkapitalrechnung. Der erzielte Gewinn ist fur ihn der realisierte Geldkapitalgewinn. Insofern stimmt er also mit der These von Wilhelm Rieger uberein, allerdings unter der Pramisse eines bestandigen Geldwertes. Die Frage der Differenzierung von erzieltem und ausschuttbarem Gewinn wird von Endres im Zusammenhang mit dem Problem der Betriebserhaltung uberpruft. Er untersucht, ob die unterschiedlichen Theorien uber die Substanzerhaltung der Betriebe eine Antwort im Hinblick auf den Gewinnbegriff gebracht haben. Unter Betriebserhaltung versteht er dabei die Erhaltung der mengenmassigen Leistungs fahigkeit der Betriebe. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde in der Literatur der Be griff des Substanzgewinns gebildet. Es liegt die Frage nahe, ob nicht dieser Sub stanzgewinn indentisch mit dem ausschuttbaren Gewinn sei."
