Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS); I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to live and work in this unique environment. Different versions of this paper were presented at NIAS and the universities of Hamburg, Paris III, Amsterdam, and Lund. I want to thank the audiences for their helpful discussions. I owe special thanks to Susanne E. Carroll and to Bonnie D. Schwartz for their detailed and insightful comments on this work; needless to say that this does not imply that they agree with what I say.
