Omitted Variable Tests and Dynamic Specification: An Application to Demand Homogeneity
ISBN: 9783540673583 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book deals with the omitted variable tests for a multivariate time-series regression model. What are the consequences of testing for the omission of a variable when the model is dynamically misspecified? What is the small sample bias of the omitted variable test when the model dynamics is correctly specificfied? The answers to these questions are proposed in this book. As an empirical illustration, the analysis is applied to the homogeneity test of a demand system. I particularly thank Professor Dr. Philippe J. Deschamps who draw my attention on this subject and who made very helpful...

Risk and Precaution
ISBN: 9780521766159 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The precautionary principle has been labeled simplistic and the rational approach to decision-making under risk was modeled on well-specified games of chance. How then are we to manage the risks, uncertainties, and 'unknown unknowns' of the real world? In this book, Alan Randall unravels the key controversies surrounding the precautionary principle and develops a new framework that can be taken seriously in policy and management circles. Respecting the complexity of the real world, he defines a justifiable role for the precautionary principle in a risk management framework that integrates...

Game-Theoretic Methods in General Equilibrium Analysis
ISBN: 9789048144426 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. JEAN-FRANQOIS MERTENS This book presents a systematic exposition of the use of game theoretic methods in general equilibrium analysis. Clearly the first such use was by Arrow and Debreu, with the "birth" of general equi librium theory itself, in using Nash's existence theorem (or a generalization) to prove the existence of a competitive equilibrium. But this use appeared possibly to be merely tech nical, borrowing some tools for proving a theorem. This book stresses the later contributions, were game theoretic concepts were used as such, to explain various aspects of the general equilibrium...

ISBN: 9789048146079 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Knowledge is the great fifth production factor in our economy, besides capital, labour, land, and entrepreneurship.

Perhaps it is the most strategic of the five factors, because we depend on it to develop business, the economy, and the world at large in a balanced and sustainable direction. Knowledge is certainly one of the least understood factors and one of the hardest to grasp. This book concerns the largest pool of knowledge, which is professional knowledge. This form...

Globalization is affecting regional economies in a broad spectrum of aspects, from labor market conditions and development policies to climate change.

New Insights Into the Theory of Giffen Goods
ISBN: 9783642217760 / Angielski / Miękka / 171 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One might expect that after their identification in the 19th century, all aspects of Giffen goods would have been studied by now. This appears not to be the case. This book contains the latest insights into the theory of Giffen goods. In the past, surprisingly few goods could be categorized as "Giffen." This may be because of a lack of understanding of the character of these goods. Therefore, the theories explained in this book may also produce a solid basis for further empirical research in the field. Experts throughout the world have contributed to this book, which predominantly pursues a...
