Economic And Political Contention in Comparative Perspective

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: European and American specialists in economic and political processes move beyond earlier debates to look seriously, systematically, and innovatively at social change and protest, with particular attention to the influence of economic change and variation on contentious politics. The essays take up two widely recognized but much-contested questions in contentious politics: how threats and opportunities faced by potential participants in joint political action affect the likelihood, character, and consequences of that action, and, how economic change and variation either (a) constitute significant political threats and opportunities or (b) shape responses to political threats and opportunities. The volume appeals especially to sociologists, political scientists, and students of public policy and international relations. Contributors: Marc Giugni, Julie Berclaz, Marc Steinberg, Jeffrey Broadbent, Klaus Eder, John K. Glenn, Chris Tilly, Dieter Rucht, Richard Hogan, Maryjane Osa,… [detailed...]

Economic Aspects of Adaptation to Climate Change: Costs, Benefits and Policy Instruments (Indicators of Industrial Activity)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Climate change poses a serious challenge to social and economic development. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions need to move hand in hand with policies and incentives to adapt to the impacts of climate change. How much adaptation might cost, and how large its benefits might be, are issues that are increasingly relevant both for on-the-ground projects and in international development co-operation and negotiations contexts. This report provides a critical assessment of adaptation costs and benefits in key climate sensitive sectors, as well as at national and global levels. It also moves the discussion beyond cost estimation to the potential and limits of economic and policy instruments - including insurance and risk sharing, environmental markets and pricing, and public private partnerships - that can be used to motivate adaptation actions.

Economic Assessment of Election Programmes: Does It Make Sense?

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the Netherlands, the election programmes of the political parties are assessed for their economic impact by an independent economic bureau. The result of this analysis is published just before the elections take place. In this way, the voter will be protected against political parties that try to win the elections by making popular but unfounded financial promises. Economic Assessment of Election Programmes contains contributions of several distinguished economists and philosophers who consider the gains of this procedure to society. Does the analysis by the Netherlands` Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) raise the democratic quality of the elections? Can we really be confident in the tools of economics? The last section of this volume states the opinion of representatives of the political parties. This part also clarifies why political parties voluntarily participate in this process and how they perceive the role division between the political party and CPB. [detailed...]

Thrainn Eggertsson
Economic Behavior and Institutions

1990 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Scholars in a wide range of disciplines are adopting research approaches that emphasize the important role institutions play in shaping social behavior. Until now, however, no broad institutional framework has been developed for economics. In this important book, Professor Eggertsson suggests that the field of economics as a whole has lagged behind other disciplines in utilizing institutional methods due to a lack of viable theoretical structures. In an effort to rectify this deficiency, Professor Eggertsson surveys institutional research now under way in various branches of economics and proposes a unified approach to this research that emphasizes the common dependency on Neoclassical models. The resultant `Neoinstitutional Economics` brings together such topics as the economics of property rights, the theory of the firm, industrial organization, cliometrics, and law and economics. This book will serve as the primary resource for scholars and students who want to learn… [detailed...]

Economic Behavior and Legal Institutions: An Introductory Text

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Markets would not function unless supported by a legal framework. That framework is no self-contained, exogenous structure, it has evolved in response to the demands of economic activity. There are laws made to modify or supplement market behavior, in anattempt to produce the desired outcomes. Such laws are often called forth by political ambitions to change the distribution of wealth, channeled through the political process. Thus economic life and law are strongly interrelated. There is neither a pure economic system unaffected by law, nor a legal system possible to understand without regard for its interplay with economic behavior. Still, such a compartmentalization has dominated the perspectives of both economics and legal studies. This invaluable book presents a unified picture of the full economic?legal system, based on results within the novel fields of `new institutional economics` and `law and economics`. It is carefully argued, and written in a non-technical… [detailed...]

Economic Complexity, Volume 14 : Non-linear Dynamics, Multi-agents Economies and Learning (International Symposia in Economic Theory and Econometrics)

Description: Book DescriptionThe last fifteen or twenty years have been marked by fundamental advances in the sources of complex behavior in micro- and macro-economics, in the practical and methodological implications of such behavior, and in the methods and tools appropriate to cope with them. Much of these developments have been driven by the recognition and acceptance by economists of approaches initiated in other fields - such as non-linear dynamics, statistical physics, network theory, biology, computer science,and the use of computational methods as problem-solving tools - giving rise to important and innovative impulses to economic thinking. The sixteen papers in this book -- the fourteenth volume in the series International Symposia in Economic Theoryand Econometrics - reflect from various perspectives this recent evolution. They are the outgrow from a selection of communications presented at the COMPLEXITY2000 workshop held in Aix en Provence, France, 4-6 May 2000 - a workshop that… [detailed...]

Economic Cooperation between Singapore and India: An Alliance in the Making? (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the growing economic relations between India and Singapore which has culminated in a Free Trade Agreement, the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), signed by both economies in June 2005. With greater convergence in strategic and economic interests, India has begun to focus more towards the Southeast Asian region to enhance economic linkages with the region. Singapore was one of the earliest Southeast Asian economies to spot the potential of India and actively promoted its own and regional trade links with India. At the same time, with increasing regional economic competition, Singapore showed interest in India as an emerging market with a large human resource base and opportunities for investment in India’s infrastructure. Using the information technology sector as a case study of the India-Singapore ‘alliance’, the book examines the challenges that India and Singapore have overcome in expanding their bilateral trade. In the process, Singapore has… [detailed...]

It argues that understanding critical clusters of interrelated issues, and explicitly taking into account geopolitical and political economy considerations, are key in this regard. Regional countries and other stakeholders should focus on a few areas where there are real prospects for success in the short run, a combination of modest - win-win - initiatives and in some cases - bold strokes - that augment and change the distribution of benefits and hence make cooperation more likely to deliver progress.
