David W. Pearce
Economic Values and the Natural World

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this book, David Pearce addresses one of the single most important issues for economists dealing with environmental problems: how to place economic value on aspects of the natural world. Pearce provides a clear account of the context of and reasons for economic valuation and surveys the economic approaches to placing monetary values on people`s preferences for environmental quality. He shows how the different methods have been applied in practice - with numerous detailed case studies and analyses -and explains how the results provide an economic rationale for conserving the environment, whether it is the world`s biological diversity or the global atmosphere. David W. Pearce is Professor of Economics at University College London and Director of the Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment. He is editor of The MIT Dictionary of Modern Economics, coauthor of Blueprint for a Green Economy, and editor of Blueprint 2:… [detailed...]

Economic Warfare: Sanctions, Embargo Busting, and Their Human Cost

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Governments today deploy trade sanctions, blockades, and financial restrictions as their political weapons of choice to curb aggression and to enforce international morality. But is economic warfare an effective foreign policy instrument? In this lively and highly informative investigative history, R. Thomas Naylor demonstrates repeatedly that punitive measures almost always fail to achieve their stated goals and often cause unintentional harm, especially to the innocent populations of the embargoed countries. In reality, economic warfare breeds corruption, creates thriving black market economies, criminalizes legitimate businesses, and helps turn limited conflicts into global ones. Naylor illustrates the futility of forcing political change througheconomic pressure by describing in intricate detail the poor record of lateral and multilateral sanctions aimed at the former Soviet Union, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Panama, and other `pariah` governments. In virtually every… [detailed...]

Description: Six years ago, American Lori Berenson was conducting a research project in Peru when the government detained her for high treason. Her inexplicable arrest marked the beginning of an unimaginable nightmare for the Berenson family that continues today. Declaimed by then President Alberto Fujimori as a threat to national security, Lori was charged as a leader of the Peruvian terrorist group Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA) and tried without due process by hooded military officials. This anonymous tribunal broke four international treaties on legal rights, and even its national constitution, in order to convict Lori-a conviction protested by human rights organizations-and sentence her to life without the possibility of parole. Isolated in a Draconian mountaintop prison with no heat, electricity, or running water and less food than could sustain her, Lori`s health swiftly deteriorated. As told by her mother, this is a journal of Lori`s harrowing plight and of Rhoda… [detailed...]

Economic and Financial Crises in Emerging Market Economies (Nber Conference Report)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the late 1990s, economic and financial crises raged through East Asia, devastating economies that had previously been considered among the strongest in the developing world. The crises eventually spread to Russia, Turkey, and Latin America, and impacted the economies of many industrialized nations as well. In today`s increasingly interdependent world, finding ways to reduce the risk of future crises--and to improve the management of crises when they occur--has become an international policy challenge of paramount importance. This book rises to that challenge, presenting accessible papers and commentaries on the topic not only from leading academic economists, but also from high-ranking government officials (in both industrial and developing nations), senior policymakers at international institutions, and major financial investors. Six non-technical papers, each written by a specialist in the topic, provide essential economic background, introducing sections on exchange… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description An understanding of risk and how to deal with it is an essential part of modern economics.

After examining these decisions in… [detailed...]

Economic and Management Methods for Tourism and Hospitality Research

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The tourism and hospitality sector is, arguably, one of the largest components of the global economy, with a growth rate in consumption that supersedes that of most other goods and services. As a consequence, the profile of tourists is changing as consumers become more experienced, more demanding, and more likely to treat tourism purchases in very much the same way as they do any other item of consumption. This coupled with the globalisation of communications transport and technology are creating a new environment for tourism professionals. The challenge is now to recognise the breadth of the information environment and to be able to manage it successfully. This book is designed to provide managers and researchers with insights into the practical application of tools for gathering and analysing information. These tools can be used in understanding tourism phenomena and in planning responses. Although quantitative in focus, the methods presented here draw on a variety of disciplinary… [detailed...]

Economic and Monetary Union and Its Housing Consequences

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The PhD study that this book presents started in 1997, two years before the introduction of the Euro. Many commentators tried to predict how a single monetary policy would impact on the EU housing and mortgage markets. The research explores possible consequences of the adoption of a single monetary policy for five European housing markets: Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and Spain. It brings together comparative housing research and research on optimum currency areas and addresses two issues. Firstly, it assesses whether house price cycles will become synchronised following the convergence in nominal interest rates. Secondly, it examines the implications of low inflation in the Euro-zone for the stability of house prices in the member-states. Accomplished in 2004, this research helps to understand many of the current changes in the EU housing and mortgage markets. The book should be useful to all those interested in housing markets and mortgage finance. It contains a wealth… [detailed...]

The combination of all demands and all available resources is performed by market mechanisms. This is the overall goal of Business in the Grid for virtual resources, the economic and transparent utilization of virtual resources. We enabled doing business by establishing the homogeneous access to virtual resources without revealing the heterogeneous and dynamic manner of the underlying real world. The fulfillment of this promise highly depends on the user`s requirements. An ideal virtual resource is independent of its real properties and corresponds perfectly to the user`s requirements. To make Business in the Grid possible, the ad-hoc, dynamic access to any virtual resource combined with authorization, trust, privacy and inherent accounting mechanisms are key challenges.

Economics 101 and Other Thoughts

Description: It`s easy to see that Tom Donelson loves to learn. His chief interests are political science and economics. But he also delves into biography, boxing and rock `n` roll. Sometimes, he mixes what he gleans from different disciplines to support certain central ideas: Freedom is good. Free markets are good. People can prosper if government stays out of their way. So here it is, as Donelson says, a synopsis of his thoughts, some of which have been offered in publications ranging from an alternative paper in Kansas City, to daily newspapers (including The Gazette, of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, for which I work on the opinion page), to the National Review. As he observes, it`s self-evident that he is a conservative. But he provides plenty of evidence to back taking that point of view. Kurt Rogahn, Cedar Rapid Gazette. [detailed...]
