The Economics of Deforestation in the Amazon: Dispelling The Myths

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis provocative new book presents the results of twenty years of research on deforestation in the Amazon. By carefully observing the changing character of human settlements and their association with deforestation over such a prolonged period, the author is able to reject much of the ?perceived wisdom?. He skillfully dissects various models of deforestation and provides hard evidence on what is myth and what is reality. The book begins by challenging a hypothesis used by many scholars to explain deforestation. The ?turnover hypothesis? states that small farmers ?cause? deforestation by moving rapidly across newly forested land in an effort to make a living. Dr. Campari argues that in reality the process is far more complex. He reveals that it is actually the larger farms who are the main culprits of deforestation and that, in comparison, the impact of small farmers is marginal. He also challenges the belief that current deforestation, as… [detailed...]

The Economics of Demand-Led Growth: Challenging the Supply-Side Vision of the Long Run

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: ?As Keynes noted sixty-five years ago, the `great puzzle of effective demand` disappeared from economics for a century between Malthus and Keynes. It has recently been in danger of disappearing again. These lucid essays help assure that it will not.They ably summarize growth theory from the demand-side perspective, and in particular, they highlight for a new generation the continuing vital importance of Nicholas Kaldor?s ideas.? - James K. Galbraith, University of Texas at Austin The Economics of Demand-Led Growth is a collection of specially written essays that develop and apply the theory of demand-led growth. Long-run growth is usually portrayed as a supply-determined process. The contributions to this volume, however, are rooted in the theory of demand-led growth. In addition to general discussions of the role of demand in the long-run, the volume contains essays in the Kaldorian and Kaleckian traditions, and a section on the relationship between… [detailed...]

The Economics of Discrimination (Economic Research Studies)

1971 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: This second edition of Gary S. Becker`s The Economics of Discrimination has been expanded to include three further discussions of the problem and an entirely new introduction which considers the contributions made by others in recent years and some of the more important problems remaining. Mr. Becker`s work confronts the economic effects of discrimination in the market place because of race, religion, sex, color, social class, personality, or other non-pecuniary considerations. He demonstrates that discrimination in the market place by any group reduces their own real incomes as well as those of the minority. The original edition of The Economics of Discrimination was warmly received by economists, sociologists, and psychologists alike for focusing the discerning eye of economic analysis upon a vital social problem--discrimination in the market place. `This is an unusual book, not only is it filled with ingenious theorizing but the implications… [detailed...]

The Economics of E-Commerce : A Strategic Guide to Understanding and Designing the Online Marketplace

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Despite the recent misfortunes of many dotcoms, e-commerce will have major and lasting effects on economic activity. But the rise and fall in the valuations of the first wave of e-commerce companies show that vague promises of distant profits are insufficient.

This book provides professionals, investors, and MBA students the tools they need to evaluate the wide range of actual and potential e-commerce businesses at the microeconomic level. It demonstrates how these tools can be used to assess a variety of existing applications. Advances in web-based technology--particularly automation and delegation technologies such as smart agents, shopping bots, and bidding elves--support the further growth of e-commerce. In addition to enabling consumers to conduct automated comparisons and sellers to access visitors` background information in real time, such software programs can make decisions for individuals, negotiate… [detailed...]

The Economics of European Integration: Limits and Prospects

Description: Book DescriptionIt is of paramount importance that European firms, investors and countries, take into consideration the implications, changes and opportunities of European integration in their decision-making processes. This is reinforced by the fact that the EU has been continuously evolving and enlarging. This textbook is one of the first to cover the subject of the economics of the EU, including all 25 member countries as well as several other potential candidate countries. Miroslav Jovanovic argues that monetary union and eastern enlargement have amplified existing discrepancies among the member countries. For example, the introduction of the euro highlighted the different speeds at which economic policy in the EU moves. Twelve member countries joined the eurozone, but more than half of the 25 EU member countries remain outside this most profound economic project in the EU, either by choice - Britain, Denmark and Sweden - or by ineligibility - the ten countries that entered… [detailed...]

The Economics of Financial Markets

Publisher: —
Description: This book puts economics to work on the daily problems faced by investors, traders, speculators and brokers as they wrestle with increasingly complex financial markets. Drawing on data direct from the financial behavior of households, corporations, and governments, through to the prices of individual securities, the authors show how accessible but rigorous economics can help the players make sense of the hour-by-hour reality of the way financial markets move. Many of the twists and turns that might seem random at first sight are, they contend, rational and often predictable. But inefficiencies do exist, and the authors also demonstrate how these can become unique profit opportunities. By bringing together information on the daily workings of financial markets with the concepts and tools of economics, Houthakker and Williamson have provided a valuable resource for practitioners and students alike.
