Making Global Value Chains Work for Development
ISBN: 9781464801570 / Angielski / Miękka / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economic, technological, and political shifts as well as changing business strategies have driven firms to unbundle production processes and disperse them across countries.

This is a paradigm shift from the 20th century when countries had to build the entire supply chain domestically to become competitive internationally. For policymakers, the focus is on boosting domestic value added and improving access...

Energy and the Financial System: What Every Economist, Financial Analyst, and Investor Needs to Know
ISBN: 9783319042374 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The modern financial system was developed to support the rapid economic growth that took off about 200 years ago with the phenomenal amounts of cheap energy made available through the exploitation of fossil fuels. As a result, its viability is completely dependent upon the continuation of that growth. Unfortunately, the more recent fossil fuel discoveries, especially for oil, have tended to have lower production levels than earlier ones. In addition, greater amounts of energy are required to extract the fossil fuels leading to less net energy available for society. The Energy Return On...

Econometric Business Cycle Research
ISBN: 9781461375586 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Econometric Business Cycle Research deals with econometric business cycle research (EBCR), a term introduced by the Nobel-laureate Jan Tinbergen for his econometric method of testing (economic) business cycle theories. EBCR combines economic theory and measurement in the study of business cycles, i.e., ups and downs in overall economic activity. We assess four methods of EBCR: business cycle indicators, simultaneous equations models, vector autoregressive systems and real business indicators. After a sketch of the history of the methods, we investigate whether the methods meet the...

ISBN: 9781461378303 / Angielski / Miękka / 341 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Setting the issue "Most economists consider the marked increase in automatic stabilizers a highly favorable development with respect to maintenance of economic stability." Besides the rare privilege of having being signed by both Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson (Depres, Friedman, Hart, Samuelson, and Wallace 1950]), among others, this sentence expressed as soon as 1950 the consensus view on the stabilizing effect of fiscal rules governing tax revenue and public expendi- tures and transfers. This positive ex ante assessment will have been confirmed ex post as part of the explanation for...

The Worth of War
ISBN: 9781616149505 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although war is terrible and brutal, history shows that it has been a great driver of human progress. So argues political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg in this incisive, well-researched study of the benefits to civilization derived from armed conflict. Ginsberg makes a convincing case that war selects for and promotes certain features of societies that are generally held to represent progress. These include rationality, technological and economic development, and liberal forms of government.
Contrary to common perceptions that war is the height of irrationality, Ginsberg persuasively... Although war is terrible and brutal, history shows that it has been a great driver of human progress. So argues political scientist Benjamin Ginsberg ...

Optimal Growth with Many Sectors
ISBN: 9783631391747 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The overriding force in economic growth is progress, both in general state of the arts, and in applied technology. These are qualitatively different and their optimization is explored with dynamic programming. With numerous goods and factors of production the production frontier becomes a hyperplane. Its dimensionality depends on the number and positioning of activities around the vector of factor endowments, as is shown with the simplex method. There may be market distortions of the ceiling and departures from it; policy measures are examined for the U.S. and Germany.

The Money Supply Process and Monetary Policy in China
ISBN: 9783631502167 / Angielski / Miękka / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book applies both the mechanistic money multiplier model and the credit market theory to analyse the money supply process and monetary policy in China. It examines the effectiveness of the central bank s monetary policy instruments, and assesses the possible monetary policy strategy and operating procedure. The central theme is that the money supply has endogenous features due to the lack of an interest rate mechanism. Therefore, interest rate liberalisation is the key to improving the effectiveness of monetary policy in China."
