Economic Security For A Better World (International Labor Office)

2004 y.
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press
Description: This volume provides a vivid picture of the emerging trends and patterns of economic security across the world. Drawing on a global database of national statistical indicators on social and labor policies, as well as information from surveys of households and enterprises, this book examines the extent of economic and social insecurity people face today.

Economic Sentiments: Adam Smith, Condorcet, and the Enlightenment

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `A powerful and original reconsideration of the thinking of Smith and Condorcet. This is a reinterpretation of Enlightenment political economy. Delightfully fresh, sensitive, sensible, and wide-ranging.` KeithBaker, Stanford University In a brilliant recreation of the epoch between the 1770s and the 1820s, Emma Rothschild reinterprets the ideas of the great revolutionary political economists to show us the true landscape of economic and political thought intheir day, with important consequences for our own. Her work alters the readings of Adam Smith and Condorcet--and of ideas of Enlightenment--that underlie much contemporary political thought. Economic Sentiments takes up late-eighteenth-century disputes over the political economy of an enlightened, commercial society to show us how the `political` and the `economic` were intricately related to each other and to philosophical reflection. Rothschild examines theories of economic and… [detailed...]

Economic Simulations in Swarm: Agent-Based Modelling and Object (ADVANCES IN COMPUTATIONAL ECONOMICS Volume 14)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Computer simulations of economic systems are slowly gaining ground within the economic profession. However, such a process is hindered by a lack of communication among researchers who do not share a common language. For its object-oriented structure and its versatility, Swarm has the necessary characteristics to become a credible universal language of agent-based simulations. Economic Simulations in Swarm collects a series of original articles in such domains as macro and micro economics, industrial organization, monetary theory, and finance, all linked by a common denominator: the use of the Swarm simulation platform. Swarm, a standard set of program libraries, allows users to construct simulations where a collection of heterogeneous independent agents or elements interact through discrete events. This volume offers the first extensive tutorial to the use of these software libraries developed at the Santa Fe Institute as part of the ongoing research into complexity. The… [detailed...]

Economic Structures of Antiquity (Contributions in Economics and Economic History)

Publisher: —
Description: The economy of the ancient Middle East and Greece is reinterpreted by Morris Silver in this provocative new synthesis. Silver finds that the ancient economy emerges as a class of economies with its own laws of motion shaped by transaction costs (the resources used up in exchanging ownership rights). The ancient world was not static, Silver asserts, rather, periods of pervasive economic regulation by the state were interspersed with lengthy periods of relatively unfettered market activity. He finds that the economies of Sumer, Babylonia, and archaic Greece were capable of transforming themselves in order to take advantage of new opportunities. [detailed...]

Economic Theory and Cognitive Science: Microexplanation (Bradford Books)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this study, Don Ross explores the relationship of economics to other branches of behavioral science, asking, in the course of his analysis, under what interpretation economics is a sound empirical science. The book explores the relationships between economic theory and the theoretical foundations of related disciplines that are relevant to the day-to-day work of economics -- the cognitive and behavioral sciences. It asks whether the increasingly sophisticated techniques of microeconomic analysis have revealed any deep empirical regularities -- whether technical improvement represents improvement in any other sense. Casting Daniel Dennett and Kenneth Binmore as its intellectual heroes, the book proposes a comprehensive model of economic theory that, Ross argues, does not supplant but recovers the core neoclassical insights and counters the caricaturish conception of neoclassicism so derided by advocates of behavioral or evolutionary economics. Because he approaches his… [detailed...]

This book is about building market institutions and about the struggle to shed institutional baggage of the past. It is about new `openings`. It is about liberalization of economic policies, about relaxing controls, and welcoming the influx of foreign capital and goods. Above all, the underlying theme of this book is the search for appropriate government policies, on issues vital to emerging nations (defined here as developing nations and former communist bloc countries), such as exchange rate management, acquisition of technology, privatization, capital flows, trade and direct investment.

Economic Transformation the Mexican Way (Lionel Robbins Lectures)

Publisher: —
Description: Mexico offers a particularly interesting study of economic reform because of its successes and its ambitious scale. As that country`s current Minister of Finance and Public Credit and a distinguished economist, Pedro Aspe offers an informed, inside look at attempts to modernize Mexico`s economy through the 1970s and 1980s. Aspe examines how Mexico has tried to stabilize its economy with measures such as economic deregulation, fiscal reform, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and realistic budget management. He argues that these changes have had not only profound economic effects, but social and political ones as well. Aspe first discusses Mexico`s experience with macroeconomic stabilization, emphasizing its social and political aspects, and noting the successes already achieved in terms of stabilization, production, and employment. In the extended analysis of the Mexican economy that follows, he focuses on the structural impact of state reform on the external… [detailed...]

Economic Transition and Political Legitimacy in Post-Mao China: Ideology and Reform

Description: Traces the role of ideas in Chinese economic reform from 1978 to the present, exploring the conversion of China`s policymakers to capitalist economic thinking. Tracing the role of ideas in Chinese economic reform from 1978 to the present, this book explores the conversion of China`s policymakers to capitalist economic thinking. Chen argues that the reform process has created a gap between the legitimacy of the leadership, which remains rooted in Marxist-Leninist ideology, and the practice of reform, which has abandoned such ideological constraints. Through a systematic survey of party documents and resolutions, official publications, leaders` speeches, academic journals, and newspapers, Chen shows how Chinese policymakers reconceptualized the ownership system and adjusted related policies. Focusing on a number of economic policy issue areas such as state economy, rural reform, privatization, and income distribution, he analyzes in depth the implications of this gap for the current… [detailed...]

Description: Fifteen years ago, twenty-seven countries in Europe and Central Asia embarked on their economic transition paths. For some, the outcome was a considerable success. Several others are still struggling to shed the inheritance of the past and to correct more recent policy mistakes. Why were post-Communist recessions so long in some countries and growth disappointing? Why was fiscal performance so different? Was democracy a factor, which facilitated reforms or rather slowed them down? This book discusses these questions in the context of new empirical evidence, including a critical examination of the main themes in the economics of transition literature. [detailed...]

Economic Transition in Central and Eastern Europe: Planting the Seeds

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Analysing the key problems facing the transition countries in Central and Eastern Europe, this accessible book describes the legacy of the central planners, the progress achieved so far and the need for further reforms. It documents the outstanding successes and failures, and analyses why certain approaches to transition have worked and others have not. It tests where transition is over and shows how some countries have graduated from `transition` to `integration` through their efforts to join the European Union (EU). It discusses the costs and benefits of the eastern enlargement of the EU. The specific experiences of German unification, the Soviet Union`s disintegration, and Russia`s complex reforms are examined, as are the specific issues that need to be addressed in the Balkans. The book concludes by indicating how the expanding EU could help the poor performers through inclusion in a continent-wide integrated economic area. Формат: 17,5 см x 24,5 см. [detailed...]

Economic Uncertainty, Instabilities And Asset Bubbles: Selected Essays

2005 y.
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Description: The compendium of papers in this volume focuses on aspects of economic uncertainty, financial instabilities and asset bubbles. Economic uncertainty is modeled in continuous time using the mathematical techniques of stochastic calculus. A detailed treatment of important topics is provided, including the existence and uniqueness of asymptotic economic growth, the modeling of inflation and interest rates, the decomposition of inflation and its volatility, and the extension of the quantity theory of money to allow for randomness. The reader is also introduced to the methods of chaotic dynamics, and this methodology is applied to asset pricing, the European equity markets, and the multi-fractality in foreign currency markets. Since the techniques of stochastic calculus and chaotic dynamics do not readily accommodate the presence of stochastic bubbles, several papers discuss in depth the presence of financial bubbles in asset prices, and econometric work is performed to link such bubbles to… [detailed...]

Economic Value of Urban Design

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The relationship between urban design and economic activity is seldom studied through empirical and scholarly research with a large number of cities due, in part, to the implicit and intangible nature of design. This book explores and evaluates this complex relationship with reference to the 136 Texas Main Street Program districts in order to shed some light on the broader question as to whether urban design generates economic value. First, the design, promotion, organization, and economic restructuring components of the Main Street Program\`s comprehensive four-point approach were surveyed in the active districts. Next, the economic changes that took place within these districts were analyzed. Finally, a variety of citywide economic indicators were compared for a five-year period among three categories of cities: those active in the Main Street Program, those formerly active but now inactive, and those who have not participated. This book reveals the types of changes that occurred in… [detailed...]
