The Economics of Forest Disturbances: Wildfires, Storms, and Invasive Species (Forestry Sciences) (Forestry Sciences)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides a unique, state-of-the-art review of both traditional and emerging themes in the economics of natural forest disturbances. Although natural disturbances such as wildfire, hurricanes and pests have long been recognized as important factos influencing the structure and health of forests, recent and dramatic increases in the costs and damages associated with forest disturbances necessitates a new evaluation of these processes. The authors show that neo-classical economic principles can be ntegrated with ecosystem analysis and modern econometric methods to uncover the causes and consequences of natural forest disturbances. The chapters encompass modern areas of concern in forest economics and policy, including temporal and spatial dynamics f economic-ecologic systems, risk-reducing mitigation and adaptation strategies, and the valuation of impacts on market and non-market resources. These topics are developed with case studies demonstrating rigorous empirical analysis… [detailed...]

The Economics of Gender

The Economics of Gender offers a comprehensive, balanced, and up-to-date introduction to this important topic in labor economics. With a strong focus on US patterns, but utilizing an international comparative perspective, this text closely examines the evolution of these frameworks, and analyzes the ways in which they are impacted by race, ethnicity, and class.

The Economics of Health Care in Asia-Pacific Countries (Academia Studies in Asian Economies)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In order to control ever-increasing health care expenditure, Western and Asian countries are seeking to develop more efficient health care models. Studies on health care that focus specifically on Asian countries are rare, rendering this a unique and welcome addition to the literature. The twelve previously unpublished papers in this book present quantitative research on various aspects of health care reform and health policy in Asia-Pacific countries such as China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the US - nations diverse in their economic development, social demographic structure and health care expenditures. The book?s main topic for discussion is the role of both government and health insurers in funding health care. The implementation of community-based, supplemental and national health insurance is explored, as are grants and the financing of hospitals and care for the elderly. The effectiveness of education as an input to health investment and the… [detailed...]

The Economics of Heritage: A Study in the Political Economy of Culture in Sicily

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: ?So much economics is written for its club members that it is refreshing to come across a book of essays which is accessible in large measure to those with a working knowledge of economic issues. It is much more than that because it makes a persuasive case for the use of economic analysis in deciding in which areas governments can sensibly act in the presentation and preservation of heritage. Although related specifically to Sicily, the rich heritage of this delectable island offers a unique opportunity for revealing all the major problems of estimating the value of historical artifacts.? - Sir Alan Peacock, David Hume Institute, Edinburgh, UK Based on the assumption that without understanding institutions, economists cannot make satisfactory policy prescriptions, this book draws insightful conclusions on the strengths and limitations of applied economics in the field of heritage. Sicily provides an interesting and unique backdrop against which the study is set,… [detailed...]

The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Most labor economics textbooks pay little attention to actual labor markets, with the exception of the occasional reference to competitive labor markets like that of the United States. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets is the only textbook to focus on imperfectly competitive labor markets and to provide a systematic framework for analyzing how labor institutions function and interact in these markets. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets examines the many institutions that affect the behavior of workers and employers in imperfect labor markets. These include minimum wages, employment protection legislation, unemployment benefits, active labor market policies, working time regulations, family policies, collective bargaining, early retirement programs, and education and migration policies. Written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the book carefully defines and measures these institutions to accurately characterize their effects, and discusses how… [detailed...]

Description: Technical innovation has moved to center stage in contemporary debates on economic theory and policy, and Chris Freeman and Luc Soete have played a prominent part in these debates. For this new edition of The Economics of Industrial Innovation , they have rewritten all the existing chapters and added ten new ones that address recent advances in theory and in policymaking.

They have also strengthened the historical account of the rise of new technologies, a main feature of earlier editions. They take advantage of their experience on projects for the OECD, the European Union, and industry in other new chapters on `The Information Society` and on environmental issues, as well as in the updated discussion of science and technology policy.

The Economics of Industrial Organization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Who controls markets and profits from them? Does competition or monopoly result in a more beneficial economy? How can the economic playing field become fairer or more biased in either direction? The study of industrial organization extends to the core ofthese most important questions of economics. Throughout the field`s history, various clashing schools of thought have attempted to sort through these complex issues, examining both abstract theory and real-life cases. The Fifth Edition of this widely used, highly regarded text includes coverage of dramatic changes in the field. Shepherd &, Shepherd provide broad, balanced coverage of topics without showing preference to any single point of view, encouraging students to think independently. This emphasis on independent judgment is evident throughout the book, with discussion of structure placed before performance to assist the reader in thinking about causation. Topics are organized for maximum flexibility, with distinct chapters… [detailed...]

John Kenneth Galbraith
The Economics of Innocent Fraud : Truth For Our Time

Publisher: —
Description: John Kenneth Galbraith has long been at the center of American economics, in key positions of responsibility during the New Deal, World War II, and since, guiding policy and debate. His trenchant new book distills this lifetime of experience in the public and private sectors, it is a scathing critique of matters as they stand today. Sounding the alarm about the increasing gap between reality and `conventional wisdom` -- a phrase he coined -- Galbraith tells, along with much else, how we have reached a point where the private sector has unprecedented control over the public sector. We have given ourselves over to self-serving belief and `contrived nonsense` or, more simply, fraud. This has come at the expense of the economy, effective government, and the business world. Particularly noted is the central power of the corporation and the shift in authority from shareholders and board members to management. In an intense exercise of fraud, the pretense of shareholder power is… [detailed...]

What are the multiplier effects of an investment program? How do environmental restrictions impact on prices? Linear programming and national accounting are introduced and used to resolve issues such as the choice of technique, the comparative advantage of a national economy, its efficiency and dynamic performance. Technological and environmental spillovers are analyzed, both at the national level (between industries) and the international level (the measurement of globalization effects). [detailed...]

The work analyzes the legal and political implications of investment in the software programming industry and the near futility of monitoring protection of intellectual property. It begins by exploring the current state of copyright laws for computer software. It then analyzes the economic theories of demand elasticities, public choice, clubs, and the concept of public goods as those theories apply to intellectual property. This analysis is followed by a discussion of legislation in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Issues related to environmental protection and trade liberalization have moved to the forefront of international policy agendas. The Economics of International Trade and the Environment explores - from an economic standpoint - many of the questions that are germane in increasing our knowledge of environmental policy in the presence of international trade and trade policy in the presence of environmental externalities. Ultimately we must ask `What can economic theory tell us about the connections between environmental and trade policy?` This book uses the tools of game and microeconomic theory to analyze diverse issues such as: the effects of international trade in waste products on illegal disposal, the nature of environmental policy when market structure and plant locations are endogenous, and the issue of ecological dumping. The authors apply economic theory to practical settings to ascertain the extent to which this theory can inform policy decisions about problems at the interface… [detailed...]
