„Dass ein Mensch sowas dreißig Jahre lang erträgt“: Erinnerungen an Frau Müller
Dies ist ein Open-Source-Beitrag. Die Ostdeutsche Allgemeine und die Berliner Zeitung geben allen Interessierten die Möglichkeit, Texte mit inhaltlicher Relevanz und professionellen Qualitätsstandards anzubieten. Sie ist klein und eher rundlich, die Frau Müller (alle Namen geändert, d. R.). Kennengelernt habe ich Sie im Jahr 1995, sie leitete die Filiale einer Drogeriemarktkette in meiner Nachbarschaft. Sie wissen schon, die Drogeriemarktkette, die später mit großem Getöse in die Pleite schlitterte.

EU Danube Region Strategy honours WIFO Research on Supply Chains
ASCII and RETHINK-GSC in Sarajevo Recognised as Lighthouse Projects Award ASCII Supply Chains Industrial, Innovation and International Economics As part of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR), the 14th Annual Forum on "Shaping the future of the Danube region" took place in Sarajevo at the beginning of November 2025. WIFO's RETHINK Global Supply Chains and the ASCII supply chain institute, a joint venture with WIFO participation, were honoured as lighthouse projects.
Marked Increase in Relative Unit Labour Costs in 2024
In 2024, unit labour costs in Austrian manufacturing rose by 11.8 percent year on year. This implies a marked deterioration in relative unit labour costs, both versus the trade‑weighted average of all trading partners (+5.3 percentage points) and versus EU trading partners (+4.3 percentage points). Compared with Germany, Austria’s most important trading partner, relative unit labour costs also worsened (+3.2 percentage points).
The Dual Challenge of Cost Efficiency and Effectiveness in EU Supply Chain Regulation
The EU's Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive aims to internalize human-rights and environmental compliance in global value chains by holding large firms accountable for supply chain breaches in third countries. In response to criticism over compliance costs, the European Commission has amended the regulation through the "Omnibus Package", which limits company liability to direct suppliers and delays the initial application.
Challenges and Determinants of Competitiveness in Times of Global Uncertainty
In spring 2025, WIFO surveyed Austria's largest industrial companies for the fourth time on competitive strategies, value chains, skills development and location policy. In addition to their ability to adapt products to customer requirements, the competitiveness of Austrian companies is based on customer trust and product quality. Competitive disadvantages are identified with regard to digitalisation, the efficiency of production methods and price competitiveness.
EU Supply Chain Regulations between Efficiency and Effectiveness
The newly introduced EU supply chain regulation emphasises the importance of enforcing social and environmental rules, particularly in third countries. For example, the EU's Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive holds importing firms accountable for breaches in their supply chains. Following fierce criticism regarding the compliance costs of the regulation, the European Commission has amended the regulation as part of the so-called "Omnibus Package".
I Think What You Think: Trade Fairs and the Exchange of Firms' Beliefs
Does interaction between firms lead to a streamlining of expectations? We test for the existence of a so-far ignored channel of expectation formation and diffusion by matching a regular Austrian business survey on firm expectations with the schedule and confirmed exhibitors at trade fairs. We find that in the month after a firm has exhibited at a trade fair, its production expectations react stronger to consensus expectations than in other months.
Consulting the things of the spirits: Evidencing unseen presences in missionary collections
The provenance and presence of “colonial objects” kept in museums is currently the subject of intense debate, both among scholars and museum professionals and in society at large. Particular attention is being paid to artifacts that in their societies of origin were part of spiritual practices. Under what conditions were they taken away and brought to ethnological and other museums? How have museum curators treated them, with regard to categorization and display?

Trade in times of uncertainty
6 CONCLUSION We apply two complementary approaches to study the direct and indirect impact of uncertainty on international trade. Both approaches rely on standard international trade theory and we empirically implement them by means of structural gravity models. The first approach uses two steps and essentially regresses the outward and inward multilateral resilience terms obtained from the gravity model estimates on exporter- and importer-specific uncertainty.

How Ghanaian Artists Infused Hollywood with Spirituality
The cinema in 1980s Ghana was DIY: vans traveled from town to town with generators to power a VCR and a TV or maybe a projector. The titles were Hollywood imports on PAL and VHS tapes. As these independent “video clubs” operated far outside official distribution, area artists made the promotional posters, painting interpretations of box art or the storyline—usually with a dose of imagination—on flour sacks.
OCW kampt met bekrompen, louter technische mindset
Prinsjesdag bezorgde mij een enorme kater. Het ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (OCW) gaat verder bezuinigen op het hoger onderwijs en er komen geen extra investeringen. De adviezen van de commissie-Van Rijn om de bekostiging van bètavakken te verhogen door die bij de geestes-, sociale en medische wetenschappen te verlagen, worden doorgezet. Dit ondanks de protesten van de universiteiten, de officiële lobbygroep VSNU en belangengroep WO in actie.

The main point of John Peel's intriguing critical intervention is to warn against what he sees as an overemphasis on similarities between Christianity and Islam. Making these religions look all too similar, he argues, may come at the expense of paying due attention to the distinctiveness of each of these religious traditions and hence to their intrinsic differences.
Sensational Movies: Video, Vision, and Christianity in Ghana
In Sensational Movies. Video, Vision, and Christianity in Ghana Prof. Birgit Meyer (Religious Studies) explores the rich world of Ghanaian video, and the relation of infuence between these movies and lived religion. Meyer analyzes Ghanaian video as a powerful, sensational form, and offers a conceptually innovative analysis of the role of visual culture within the politics and aesthetics of religious world making.
