CCSS Working Paper Series

CCSS, the Competence Center Coping with Crises in Complex Socio-Economic Systems, was established at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) in September 2008. By means of theoretical and empirical analysis, CCSS aims at understanding the causes of and cures to crises in selected problem areas, for example in financial markets, in societal infrastructure, or crises involving political violence.
