Wie die vergangenen zwei Jahre gezeigt haben, variieren hingegen die den Krisen zugrundeliegenden tieferen Ursachen und Mechanismen. Durch statistische Daten wird gezeigt, wie die Immobilienpreise in den USA zunächst stiegen. Wegen erwarteter weiterer Wertentwicklung wurden Kredite auch an Schuldner geringer (subprime) Bonität gegeben und Risiken als forderungsbesicherte Wertpapiere auf globalen Märkten veräußert. Als sich die Wachstumserwartungen nicht erfüllten, vermehrten sich Rückzahlungsausfälle lavinenartig. Vom amerikanischen Hypothekenmarkt breitete sich die Krise auf die internationalen Banken und im weiteren Verlauf auf die Weltwirtschaft aus. N2 - Financial and banking crisis have been repeatedly reported on few centuries. In a way, they were caused by similar behaviour of the people involved. But the essential reasons and mechanisms were basicly different. In this paper, by statistics is to be demonstrated in which way US residential property prices had been developing before the beginning of the current crisis. Because of the expectation of continuing increase banks did not hesitate to give mortgages even to subprime, i.e. less reliable, debtors. Furthermore, they passed on their risk by selling special new securities, such as MBS (mortgage-backed securities), on global markets, i.e. all over the world. When the expectation of eternal growth failed to come true the number of debtors unable to meet their repayments snowballed and mortgage banking collapsed. Then the crisis was spreading across international banking and, eventually, severely damaged the whole world economy.

A key channel is the wealth effect on consumption. Fluctuations in stock prices and housing prices influence the households wealth and could have important impacts on households consumption. In addition, stock prices may affect corporate sector investments and property prices may affect building activity. Here, the method of cointegration is used to estimate the wealth effect and the investment effect in aggregate time series for Germany after the Reunification in 1990. Moreover, we discuss the role of asset prices in the monetary policy strategy of the ECB.
