Abstract

Im November 2007 hat Prof. Dr. Wim Kösters sein 65. Lebensjahr vollendet. Dieses Ereignis ist Anlass, ihm die vorliegende Festschrift zu widmen. Wim Kösters wurde am 26. November 1942 in Greven / Kreis Steinfurt geboren. Er studierte von 1963 bis 1968 Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster. Zum Postgraduierten-Studium zog es ihn 1968/69 mit einem Fulbright-Stipendium in die USA an die Florida State University und an die Harvard University. Von 1969 bis 1982 folgte eine Assistententätigkeit bei Prof. Dr. Hans K. Schneider in Münster und Köln. An der Universität Münster wurde er 1972 mit einer Arbeit zu den "Theoretischen und empirischen Grundlagen der Geldnachfrage" promoviert. 1982 habilitierte er sich an der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln mit einer Arbeit zur "Theoretischen und empirischen Bestimmung der Vollbeschäftigung". Von 1982 bis 1991 war Wim Kösters Professor für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Universität Münster, seit 1991 ist er Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Theoretische Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaft der Ruhr-Universität Bochum, der als Jean Monnet-Lehrstuhl in Forschung und Lehre besonders stark europäisch ausgerichtet ist. Von 1996 bis 2002 war Wim Kösters Mitglied des Forschungsbeirats des RWI, seit 2003 ist er dort Mitglied im Vorstand. Von 1992 bis 2000 war er gewählter Fachgutachter für Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik der DFG. Schließlich ist er seit 2001 Mitglied der ECB Observer, einer Gruppe von Wissenschaftlern, welche die konzeptionelle und operative Geldpolitik der Europäischen Zentralbank analysieren und kommentieren. Die Festschrift, deren Autoren zahlreiche ehemalige und aktuelle Weggefährten und Kollegen von Wim Kösters sind, würdigt die Leistungen, die er in Forschung und Lehre erbracht hat. Die Themengebiete umfassen (i) die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen der Wirtschaftswissenschaft und der Politikberatung, (ii) realwirtschaftliche Aspekte der europäischen Integration wie Fragen der Steuerpolitik und der Migration, (iii) verschiedene Facetten der Integrationstheorie, der Banken und der Kapitalmarktregulierung sowie (iv) die Geld- und Währungspolitik. (Aus dem Vorwort)
