ZunÄchst werden einige frühere Versuche, mit ZollÄquivalenten zu arbeiten, diskutiert. Danach wird das Problem behandelt, welches Kriterium zur Quantifizierung von Handelsschranken geeignet ist.

The resulting algorithm is based on the unconstrained control algorithm, so it can be implemented without difficulty in the existing software. Moreover, the algorithm does not require much additional computation, which makes the algorithm rather efficient. An application to a complicated, but practical, economic problem concerning exchange-rate policy illustrates the relevance of the extension of the control model.

We incorporate themechanics of speculation and the interest rate defence against it in the model of Morris and Shin (American Economic Review 88, 1998). Our model captures that the interest rate
