The present volume of essays on industrial organization, which are based on conferences held at Nijenrode and Brussels, differs considerably from its predecessor. Even more than in the first volume the essays demonstrate the broad scope of industrial organization analysis. Besides the traditional topics such as economies of scale, monopoly and competition policy, there are essays on methodology, on stagflation, and on the relationship between industrial struc ture and international trade and trade policies. The latter topics are of growing importance. The issue of restructuring industries and...

The Tilburg Institute of Economics - Institute of the Economic Faculty of the Tilburg University - proposes itself to publish results of economic research taking part in the F acul ty . To facilitate the choice of the potential reader, every publication will be marked by the department, where the publication took its origin. As Mr. Schilderinck's 'Factor Analysis' applied to developed and developing countries, is a result of research in the Econometric Department, it is mark ed Econometrics. Every publication will be published under the supervision of the head of the department. For this...

It is a pleasure to introduce Dr. Kusehpeta's study of the USSR banking and eredit system with some measure of enthusiasm, for the subjeet is one about which there is, as yet, not mueh literature available in the Western European languages and this study approaehes the subjeet from the view-point of sourees taken from within the Soviet Union itself. No matter how revolutionary the ehange, some ties with the past still remain and it is for this reason that the author has paid initial attention to the banking system of the Tsars and proceeds to de al with the development of the banking system...

In monetary theory the paramount problem posed by many eco- nomists was always whether monetary variables had a certain influence on the real variables in the economy, so that money would not be neutral but influence the economic process. In this way the outcome would differ from that of a barter economy. The outcome of this development was that money could no longer be regarded as an accommodating item like in many out-dated text-books but as an autonomous factor, the influence of which is explicitly ana- lyzed. When, after the Second World War, the 'real' side of eco- nomics developed into...

In this work the author reports on his research into the way food in novations are adopted. He deals particularly with whether food in novators can be distinguished, that is to say consumers who, more than other people, adopt new products not by chance but more or less systematically. The book discusses three general themes within this problem: what impels innovators, in what respects and in what characteristics are they different from others, and to what extent can their behaviour be used to fore cast the ultimate succes of an innovation. On the the basis of information from the literature...

The introduction of public goods into economic theory has recently received substantial attention from economists. Both the increasing significance of public goods and the deficiencies of the private goods-oriented allocation mechanisms call for a re orientation of the classical general equilibrium models such as the one designed by Walras exactly a century ago. Although several approaches to this problem are possible, the duality approach seems to be very fruitful. In this study, Dr. Ruys applies and develops the mathematical theory of polarity to gain a deeper insight into the economic...

This book was originally published as a doctoral thesis and was de fended by the author at the Tilburg School of Economics in 1969. It has the characteristics of a work on industrial econometrics. On the one hand relevant economical, statistical and mathematical theory is treated and on the other a model for a very actual situation has been created and utilised to solve a practical problem. The selection from current reference material always has a personal tinge of course, and other theoreticians will find some of the author's departures from the theme a little unnecessary. However, if the...

Dr. Kooyman has made a careful study of the econometric model used around 1963 by the Netherlands Central Planning Bureau, especially of eight of its most import- ant behavioural equations. The Bureau used coefficients estimated from a pre-war and a post-war time series simultaneously, in order to have a larger number of observations. The author, being aware of the difference in general economic 'climate' in the two periods, tests the assumption of no difference in pre-war and post-war coefficients. In an inventive way he uses a few alternat- ive approaches. On the basis of his findings he...
