Dominique Foray
Economics of Knowledge

y.
Publisher:
Description: The economics of knowledge is a rapidly emerging subdiscipline of economics that has never before been given the comprehensive and cohesive treatment found in this book. Dominique Foray analyzes the deep conceptual and structural transformation of our economic activities that has led to a gradual shift to knowledge-intensive activities. This transformation is the result of the collision of a longstanding trend -- the expansion of knowledge-based investments and activities -- with a technological revolution that radically altered the production and transmission of knowledge and information. The book focuses on the dual nature of the economics of knowledge: its emergence as a discipline (which Foray calls `the economics of knowledge`) and the historical development of a particular period in the growth and organization of economic activities (`the knowledge-based economy`). The book, which alternates between analysis of the economic transformation and examination of the [detailed...]

Economics of Offsets: Defence Procurement and Countertrade (Studies in Defence Economics)

y.
Publisher:
Description: Despite their growth, outlined and analysed in this book, the claims and counter-claims that surround offsets have not been subjected to critical scrutiny by economists. This book fills that gap. It brings together a team of internationally renowned specialists to document and evaluate the economic impact of several countries` offset policies. In addition, the papers by industrialists and defence officials yield further insights which help to tease out which of the claims made for offsets do not stand critical scrutiny. Offsets, or work-sharing arrangements, are frequently requested by governments when buying foreign defence equipment. Under an offset the vendor agrees to place work to a set value with firms in the buying country. Although popular, controversy surrounds their impact. Some claim that offsets create jobs and enhance the defence industrial base. Others argue that offset work would have been won without the offset or that it is low technology work which ceases once the [detailed...]

What do the great economists (Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, Paul Samuelson, Ludwig von Mises, Milton Friedman, Murray Rothbard) say about the gold standard? From the 1988 second edition: `There is an increasing uneasiness about the international fiat `dollar` standard and its apparent inability to provide stability in the foreign exchange markets, even in times of low inflation. Without some kind of independent monetary yardstick, the world`s currencies seem to be at sea without a rudder.` From the 1996 [detailed...]
