Global Warming and Agriculture: Impact Estimates by Country
ISBN: 9780881324037 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How will global warming affect developing countries, which rely heavily on agriculture as a source of economic growth? William Cline asserts that developing countries have more at risk, such as their production capacity, than industrial countries as global warming worsens. Using general circulation models, Cline boldly examines 2071-99 to forecast the effects of global warming and its economic impact into the next decade. This detailed study outlines existing studies on climate change; Cline finds the Stern Report for the UK government's estimates most reliable; estimates projected changes in...

The Economics of Global Warming
ISBN: 9780881321326 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study examines the costs and benefits of an aggressive program of global action to limit greenhouse warming. An initial chapter summarizes the scientific issues from the standpoint of an economist. The analysis places heavy emphasis on efforts over a long run of 200 to 300 years, with much greater warming and damages than associated with the conventional benchmark (a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere). Estimates are presented for economic damages, ranging from agricultural losses and sea-level rise to loss of forests, water scarcity, electricity requirements for air...

International Debt Reexamined
ISBN: 9780881320831 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 535 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The international debt crisis that erupted in 1982 threatened the world financial system and turned the 1980s into a lost decade for Latin America. But the crisis jolted governments throughout the region into adopting sweeping economic reforms. By the early 1990s inflation was lower, growth was reviving, the major debtors had reached "Brady Plan" workout agreements reducing bank debt in exchange for collateral, and capital was entering the region in unprecedented magnitudes. This study tries to make sense of this historic financial episode and to derive lessons for future policy. Cline...

Financial Globalization, Economic Growth, and the Crisis of 2007-09
ISBN: 9780881324990 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines the role of financial globalization in economic growth and derives corresponding implications for economic policy. Although economists have debated the importance of openness to international trade, they generally agree that in the market for goods, international openness is more favorable to growth than a largely closed economy. In contrast, whether external financial openness boosts or curbs growth has long been a controversial issue, and it has become even more so with the outbreak of the global financial crisis of 2007-09. The East Asian financial crisis of the late...

Trade Policy and Global Poverty
ISBN: 9780881323658 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The stakes of the poor in trade policy are large: Free trade can help 500 million people escape poverty and inject $200 billion annually into the economies of developing countries, according to author William R. Cline. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential for trade liberalization to spur growth and reduce poverty in developing countries. It quantifies the impact on global poverty of industrial-country liberalization, as well as liberalization by the developing countries. Half or more of the annual gains from trade would come from the removal of industrial-country...

The Right Balance for Banks: Theory and Evidence on Optimal Capital Requirements
ISBN: 9780881327212 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The global financial crisis produced an important agreement among regulators in 2010-11 to raise capital requirements for banks to protect them from insolvency in the event of another emergency. In this book, William R. Cline, a leading expert on the global financial system, employs sophisticated economic models to analyze whether these reforms, embodied in the Third Basel Accord, have gone far enough. He calculates how much higher bank capital reduces the risk of banking crises, providing a benefit to the economy. On the cost side, he estimates how much higher capital requirements raise the...

Managing the Euro Area Debt Crisis
ISBN: 9780881326871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. First came the financial and debt crisis in Greece, then government financing difficulties and rescue programs in Ireland in 2010 and Portugal in 2011. Before long, Italy and Spain were engulfed by financial contagion as well. Finally in 2012, the European Central Bank pledged to do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro area with purchases of government bonds, a step that achieved impressive results, according to William R. Cline in this important new book. One of the world's leading experts on fiscal and debt issues, Cline mobilizes meticulously researched and forceful arguments to...

The United States as a Debtor Nation
ISBN: 9780881323993 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 323 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States has once again entered into a period of large external imbalances. This time the current account deficit, at nearly 6 percent of GDP in 2004, is much larger than in the last episode, when the deficit peaked at about 3.5 percent of GDP in 1987. Moreover, the deficit is on track to become substantially larger over the next several years. This study examines whether the large and growing current account deficit is a problem, and if so, how the problem can be solved. A central policy conclusion of this study is that it is increasingly important that the United States reduce its...

Carbon Abatement Costs and Climate Change Finance
ISBN: 9780881326079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study provides alternative estimates of the costs of greenhouse gas abatement through 2050 that would be necessary to limit CO2 atmospheric concentrations to approximately 450 parts per million and limiting warming to 2C. Specific estimates are provided for 25 major economies (with the European Union as a single economy). Business as usual baselines are first developed, based on US Department of Energy projections through 2030 and on maintenance of country-specific trends in GDP growth, energy efficiency growth, and carbon-efficiency of energy growth thereafter. The central policy...

Resolving the European Debt Crisis
ISBN: 9780881326420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What began as a relatively localized crisis in Greece in early 2010 soon escalated to envelop Ireland and Portugal. By the second half of 2011, the contagion had spread to the far larger economies of Italy and Spain. In mid-September the Peterson Institute and Bruegel hosted a conference designed to contribute to the formulation of policies that could help resolve the euro area debt crisis. This volume presents the conference papers; several are updated through end-2011. European experts examine the political context in Greece (Loukas Tsoukalis), Ireland (Alan Ahearne), Portugal (Pedro...
