2.3.2 Möbius band Let us now see what happens if we try to identify two opposite edges of a rectangle in opposing directions. (Here, we are identifying the two ends of the rectangle rather than the top and bottom.) We start with a rectangle, as before, but this time the edges to be identified have their arrowheads pointing in opposite directions. This means that we cannot glue the edges directly, but have to twist one of them through

Migration and the Metropolis: How ancient Rome stayed great
Professor Greg Woolf, Director of the Institute of Classical Studies at the University of London, gave this year's Ronald Syme Lecture at Wolfson College, Oxford. The lecture was introduced by Professor Philomen Probert. Romans told many myths of their civic inclusiveness, myths repeated from Machiavelli to modern times.

Australian banks well positioned to weather the financial crisis
In comparison to the battered banks elsewhere, Australia’s ‘big four’ banks have been “holding up very well” relative to their counterparts in the US and Europe, which have either filed for bankruptcy or have sought government bailouts, says John Schubert, chairman of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the country’s biggest lender by market capitalisation.
We should heed the lessons of the collapse of the ‘golden age’: a personal view
When I teach my macroeconomics class for the MBAs at INSEAD, I always discuss the Great Depression and the lecture ends on an optimistic tone with a simple statement: “The Great Depression will never happen again”. I firmly believed this because there is a widespread consensus that the Great Depression was a result of a sequence of policy mistakes. Economists have learned what policies should be applied to avoid the Great Depression.
Unfortunately, I have to revise my optimism now.

Buybacks are back: strategy pays off with returns of 103.5 per cent in first year
In April 2009 we published a list of 24 stocks on the INSEAD Knowledge website (see Table 1). The stocks were chosen on the basis of the strategy outlined in our paper ( The Nature and Persistence of Buyback Anomalies, Review of Financial Studies, 2009), which is a more refined implementation of buyback investing, first proposed by Ikenberry, Lakonishok and Vermaelen (Market underreaction to open market repurchases, Journal of Financial Economics, 1995). The basic strategy is to invest in US com
The pursuit of value
It’s all too easy, if you have the upper hand in negotiations – whether it be through information asymmetry or generally a more favourable position -- to make full use of a power play in negotiations to get what you want, with the winner taking all and the loser walking away empty-handed, says INSEAD Professor Horacio Falcao. But instead, negotiators should be looking to develop ‘win-win’ strategies that allow all parties to capture some of the value, or at least feel that they were bein
