contracts

• The Paris air show: while commercial aviation, and particularly Airbus, literally stole the show by announcing an incredible profusion of contracts for airliners, the defence aspect was comparatively dwarfed, particularly in terms of novelties in the military aircraft department contrasting, however, with the situation of new defence sub-systems.

In the air, the two notable neck-twisters were the Schiebel Camcopter S-100 (see title picture) and the Eurocopter X3 demonstrator - although the Rafa...

• 10th anniversary and a lot going on: celebrating its ten years of existence, this year's Idex might not have been the most thriving edition of the Abu Dhabi biennial land defence equipment exhibition in terms of legendary 'contracts of the century', but certainly was high in quality in terms of wares and developments to be discovered.

Whilst armoured vehicles of all sizes and types took the lion's share by being displayed both indoors and outdoors, numerous companies presented true ...

• Science in action: Swiss technical universities are getting courted by an increasing number of international companies. Powerhouses like Microsoft, IBM and Disney all have running 'brain-power' contracts with the technical schools in both Zurich and Lausanne. But are corporations simply colonising academic minds? Swiss News looks at these emerging ventures from both sides.

• Implementierung Einer Anreizkompatiblen Senioritätsregel Zur Verhinderung Internationaler Verschuldungskrisen

Despite revolving sovereign debt crises, effective reforms of the international financial architecture with a view to improving crisis prevention have never been successfully implemented. In our view, policy makers have unduly focussed on crisis symptoms instead of tackling the true cause of debt crises, namely, the market failure on international bond markets. We argue that only if the market price of newly issued bonds adequately reflects the associated increase in default-risk, and if enforceable seniority rules as in private bond contracts are introduced can there be a reduction of the incentives to enter excessively large and short-term bond contracts. On the basis of contract theory we propose an institutional framework which reduces the incentives to unsustainable sovereign debt ...

• Idex, interesting but ... a shift in trends? This year's biennial defence exhibition held in Abu Dhabi in February was definitely characterised by the virtual absence of medium and heavy armoured vehicles. In spite of an attendance that was qualified as slow by most visited exhibitors, a few major contracts were nevertheless announced.

The number of exhibitors remained as high as ever and has even grown, according to the organisers. This is explained by the fact that both the United ...
