The Economics of Keynes in Historical Context: An Intellectual History of the General Theory

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There have been a number of important, pioneering studies in the analysis of Keynes` philosophical writings, his work as a policy advisor, as well as biographies. What has not been attempted is a full-scale analysis of how the various parts of Keynes` most mature work in the General Theory can be understood in the context of the social thought, policy questions and economics literature that shaped his outlook on theoretical questions. This book fills that gap and is a significant addition to the literature on the most influential economist of the twentieth century. [detailed...]

The Economics of Knowledge

2006 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...]

The Economics of Livestock Disease Insurance: Concepts, Issues and International Case Studies (CABI Publishing)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In recent years the livestock sector has been hit by a number of high-profile diseases, such as BSE, Foot and Mouth Disease and Avian Influenza. These have had a devastating economic impact on livestock producers and the broader livestock industry. One ky response has been a growing interest in livestock disease insurance. However there is a need for greater understanding of private incentives, market impacts, and public policy perspectives on regional, national and international levels, if livestock nsurance products and complimentary risk management programs are to be developed. This book provides a balanced and broad-ranging overview of the economics of livestock disease insurance. It covers both general issues and specific case studies drawn frm the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia or focussing on specific issues. [detailed...]

The Economics of Managing Biotechnologies (ECONOMY &, ENVIRONMENT Volume 22)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The advent of new biotechnologies implies significant changes in the world, both biologically and industrially. Biologically, these new technologies represent changes on a scale never before witnessed in the context of evolutionary systems. How these systems will respond to these changes is uncertain and potentially very significant. The first part of this volume addresses these issues in a series of chapters considering the manner in which societies might analyse and manage these systemic responses to biotechnological changes. The second part of the volume addresses the industrial issues concerning biotechnologies. One of the primary motivations for these changes is to enhance the appropriability of the value of innovation occurring within the life sciences sectors. Changing to a property rights-based system of biotechnology has implications for the nature of research and development within these sectors, and the diffusion and distribution of its benefits across the globe.

The Economics of Marine Resources and Conservation Policy: The Pacific Halibut Case Study With Commentary

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: How can we manage a so-called `renewable` natural resource such as a fishery when we don`t know how renewable it really is? James A. Crutchfield and Arnold Zellner developed a dynamic and highly successful economic approach to this problem, drawing on extensive data from the Pacific halibut industry. Although the U.S. Department of the Interior published a report about their findings in 1962, it had very limited distribution and is now long out of print. This book presents a complete reprint of Crutchfield and Zellner`s pioneering study, together with a new introduction by the authors and four new papers by other scholars. These new studies cover the history of the Pacific halibut industry as well as the general and specific contributions of the original work--such as price-oriented conservation policy--to the fields of resource economics and management. The resulting volume integrates theory and practice in a clear, well-contextualized case study that will be important… [detailed...]

Partha Dasgupta, Karl-Goran Maler
The Economics of Non-Convex Ecosystems (Economics of Non-Market Goods and Resources, V. 4)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economists all too often assume that ecosystem and population dynamics are subject to convex (even linear) processes. However, research by ecosystem and population ecologists has shown that the processes in question are very often non-convex. This has important implications for environmental and resource economics. Typically, a system under study or being managed would contain multiple basins of attraction. So the system would flip from one basin to another if a `threshold` (mathematically, a bifurcation) were crossed. Furthermore, the flip could be irreversible. But even if it were reversible, the system could well display hysteresis. The latter eventuality means that in order to entice the system to return to its original basin of attraction, a different and possibly costly path has to be traced. A mistake in management may then be a lot more costly than envisaged. An example would be a possible flip of the Gulf Stream owing to fresh water intrusion from melting glaciers during… [detailed...]

The Economics of Online Markets and ICT Networks (Contributions to Economics)

2006 y.

Description: Building new business on the most recent version of the Web is no longer a multi-million dollar undertaking. Start-up companies are leveraging a decade of innovation of technology, driven by entrepreneurs not financiers. Past lessons led to new service that provides a sustainable revenue base from which to refine service offerings and the definition of a viable business model. Within this context, the volume examines the economics of platform structure and firm competition within and between online markets, modern theoretical treatments of regulatory intervention in online markets and the consideration of forward-looking experimental analysis of demand for yet to be provided services. The volume is divided into three parts: innovation and competition in online markets, regulation, pricing and evaluation with real options, and empirical approaches to market analysis. [detailed...]

Description: This book uses economic theory to analyze the different aspects of organized crime. The theory of rent-seeking is adopted to help understand the origin of criminal organizations, while modern industrial organization theory is used to explain the design of internal rules. The market behavior of organized crime is analyzed, the `crime and economics` approach being applied to the analysis of corruption that occurs when the organized crime sector and the government collude to exploit their monopoly on rule-making. Each chapter outlines the normative results of the analysis in order to design more sophisticated deterrence policies. [detailed...]

The Economics of Post-Communist Transition (Clarendon Lectures in Economics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Transition in Central and Eastern Europe, as Blanchard points out, has adhered to a U-shaped response in terms of economic output--that is, a sharp decline in output followed by a recovery. Today, most of the countries of Central Europe seem to have enjoyed a steady upswing, while most Eastern European nations still appear to be near the bottom of the U. This book traces the courses, causes, and implications of this pattern, arguing that two basic mechanisms dominate such transition. The first is the reallocation between the state and private sectors, with a contraction of activities in the former and an expansion in the latter. The second is the restructuring of the old state sector, with the opportunity for large improvements in productivity. Against this background, the book`s focus shifts to three particular factors: the adjustment of employment and wages in state firms to the initial shock of reduced demand for their goods, the dynamics of restructuring and privatization, and… [detailed...]

Not since Shackle has anyone made such an interesting study of the role of time in economics, and not since Marx has anyone tackled the question of the turnover time of capital in the context of political power, and the role of knowledge in relation to that power. Many books in economics are marginal in both senses of the word ? they are in the marginalist neo-classical tradition, and they add little to the body of knowledge. This book is not marginal in either sense: it tackles some of the most fundamental questions in economic theory and it adds a great deal to our knowledge about them.? ?

The Economics of Price Discrimination

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book offers a theoretical and unified explanation of how prices are determined in practice. Pricing, as observed in real life, turns out to be almost discriminatory. Four broad areas are covered: the spatial pricing of bulky products (Part I), the intertemporal pricing of storable goods, exhaustible resources, new durables, and nonstorable goods and services (Part II), two-part tariffs, commodity bundling, tie-ins, and nonlinear prices in general (Part III), and pricing of goods of different quality(Part IV). Each essay contains an introductory chapter describing the business practices that are to be rationalized and evaluated. This is the first unified treatment of a recent and growing body of literature in the `new industrial organization` field.It fills the gap between textbook microeconomics and real-life antitrust cases. The treatment is as nontechnical and down to earth as possible to permit a wide audience for this comprehensive discussion of industrial pricing. [detailed...]

Description: The pioneering work of Judge Richard Posner has brought to light the broad relevance of economics to virtually all areas of law. During the last three decades, Judge Posner has provided seminal contributions to the development of an overarching economic theory of law, with applications including traditional legal subjects, such as torts and contracts, as well as non-standard topics, such as his study of primitive law and ancient customs. This selection of Judge Posner`s essays reveals the importance of economic efficiency as a driving force in the formation of private law. The rigorous and insightful introduction by Professor Parisi discusses Judge Posner`s unparalleled influence on the evolution of law and economics and the understanding of the economicfoundations of private law. In particular he discusses: ? anthropology and the emergence of law ? tort law ? contract law ? family law ? the economics of privacy. The Economics of Private Law will… [detailed...]
