The Influence of Gender of Senior Researchers on Research Practice in Sports and Exercise Science and Medicine
There are gender-based differences in research practices in medicine, but these differences have not been examined in the broad fields of sports and exercise science and medicine. In this study, we determined whether senior author gender influences study design, study topic, and reporting practices in sports and exercise science and medicine. We analysed 509 articles published in the first issue of 2023 for all Quartile 1 sports science journals …
Marktgeschehen
»Der Markt« gilt gemeinhin als zeitloser und effektiver Mechanismus zum Tausch von Gütern und zur Bildung von Preisen. Dieser Band, der die Ergebnisse des von der DFG geförderten Netzwerks »Das Versprechen der Märkte« bündelt, problematisiert diese Annahme und zeigt, dass Märkte das Ergebnis historischer Praxis sind: Sie entstehen und existieren durch das Marktgeschehen selbst, das weit über die Markttransaktion hinausreicht und durch die jeweili…
Die Börse und das Wettbüro
Onlinebörsen für Sportwetten verbinden auf den ersten Blick ganz getrennte Sphären: das Freizeitvergnügen von Sportkonsum und Glücksspiel mit der ernsten, angestrengten Ökonomie der Börse. Diese konzeptuelle Differenzierung ist ein Produkt des 19. Jahrhunderts, und durchaus fragil: geht es doch in beiden Bereichen gleichermaßen darum, Wetten abzuschließen. Die Verfahren und die Organisation der Wetten aber waren lange Zeit spezifisch für beide Sp…
Patterns of Everyday Exchange
With concepts like the consumer revolution or the industrious revolution, the changing behaviour of private households in the 18 th and early 19 th centuries has become of great interest. The article suggests a new way to observe intentions and decisions, by utilizing a database of 850,000 classified ads from the Basel Avisblatt over a span of 116 years. Changes in food prices constantly altered the discretionary income of households, which force…
Ist nämlich der ganze Spekulationsverkehr erst einmal in einen krankhaft erregten Zustand hineingerathen...“
The late nineteenth century discourse on stock and commodity exchanges, and especially on the crisis of 1873, made heavy use of metaphors. As a statistical analysis of some key publications in the German language area shows, biological and medical metaphors clearly dominated. They were useful to underscore a number of very different opinions on the frugal or poisonous effects of speculation, capital, etc.; the degree to which exchange reforms (‘m…
Buying time
Adapting the dictum that ‘time is money’, Western merchants have long promoted and welcomed technologies to accelerate commerce. Thanks to revolutionary changes in communication in the nineteenth century, including the telegraph, information could for the first time travel much faster around the globe than goods. This asymmetric time–space compression created new problems for agents of global trade, as transactions could occur faster than the han…
Vom Verdorbenen Spieler Zum Verdienstvollen Spekulanten. Ökonomisches Denken Über Börsenspekulation Im 19. Jahrhundert
Holbrook Woking 3 ab etwa 1930 in Gang kommende, empirisch-agrarökonomische Untersuchung der Vermarktung agrarischer Güter an Warenterminbörsen, für welche die Spekulation ein zentrales Element darstellte
Futures and risk
In interpreting futures markets, a well-established dichotomy of hedgers and speculators is at play. Hedgers are unwillingly exposed to risks; speculators take them over hoping for profit. This concept ignores the changing notions and practices of ‘speculation’ and especially ‘hedging’ since the nineteenth century. Originally, hedging meant that merchants ‘buy time’ in ongoing transactions. The concept later pointed to securing projected transact…
Die Transformation von Märkten und die Entstehung moderner Unternehmen
According to institutional economics, transactions are carried out either in the market or within firms, with the latter emerging when market transactions become internalized. This suggests that the history of modern enterprises cannot be fully understood without investigating the history of markets as well. This paper makes some socioeconomic generalizations about the specific configuration of pre-modern markets and their transformation in the 1…
Colouring markets
Using British and German price and trade data, the development of European dye markets in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is analysed. Traditionally, the markets were divided into a commercially important segment of premium dyes and a low-cost segment for mass consumption. The rise of industrially produced dyes came later and was more long-drawn-out than commonly assumed. Initially premium dyes did not enter the mass market before the 188…
