Acknowledgements

This book presents the results of my doctoral study. It would not have been possible without the encouragement, guidance and support of my dissertation supervisor Professor Dr. Ansgar Belke. I would also like to thank him for all the lively discussions related to the thesis and to current events. Our work together has always been a pleasure. I am also grateful to Professor Dr. Gerhard Wagenhals, who acted as my secondary advisor and Professor Dr. Hans-Peter Burghof for serving on my PhD committee. I am indebted to Professor Dr. Katarina Juselius and Professor Dr. Soren Johansen for hosting the Summer School in Econometrics at the University of Copenhagen. These three very intense weeks enabled me to apply the cointegrated VAR model to my data in a meaningful way and have buttressed my results. Thank you again, Katarina, for your enduring patience in responding to my follow-up questions, even long after the course had ended. My heartfelt gratitude also goes out to my friend Denise Möbius for lending me her organizational skills, which included, among others, the tedious but necessary tasks of creating the bibliography and ensuring proper formatting. You were an invaluable help. I also owe thanks to my friend Alexander Krieg for insightful discussions, Latex tutoring and providing the necessary distractions during the course of this project. On a more personal level, I wish to thank my parents for their support. Your being there makes everything so much easier. Most important
