First, there is a growing belief that the U.S. national research and development system, like that of many industrial nations, is changing due to global competitive pressures and advancements in information technology and electronic commerce. Second, industry's R&D relationship with the academic research community is changing not only because of the global competition but also because of alterations in the level of...

Modelling Spatial Housing Markets: Theory, Analysis and Policy
ISBN: 9780792373070 / Angielski / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Spatial fixity is one of the characteristics that distinguishes housing from most other goods and services in the economy. In general, housing cannot be moved from one part of the country to another in response to shortages or excesses in particular areas. The modelling of housing markets and the interlinkages between markets at different spatial levels - international, national, regional and urban - are the main themes of this book.
A second major theme is disaggregation, not only in terms of space, but also between households. The book argues that aggregate time-series models of...

Challenges for Economic Policy Coordination Within European Monetary Union
ISBN: 9780792373278 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The launch of European Monetary Union (EMU) marked the beginning of a new era, and its establishment has proved an impressive success at the technical, legal, and procedural level. After all, EMU has accelerated economic and political integration in the European Union and tied the economies of the Member States closer together. However, the performance of the euro, high unemployment rates, uneven output and investment growth, and the issue of structural reforms that have yet to be tackled have raised questions about the performance of EMU in practice.
There is a general consensus on the... The launch of European Monetary Union (EMU) marked the beginning of a new era, and its establishment has proved an impressive success at the technical...

Ideology and the Evolution of Vital Institutions: Guilds, the Gold Standard, and Modern International Cooperation
ISBN: 9780792373902 / Angielski / Twarda / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Thompson and Hickson strongly challenge the standard interpretation of the basis of growth and viability of dominant wealthy nations. Briefly, efforts of the economically wealthy and the government leaders to increase their wealth and protect it from aggressors, internal and external, are cast in a new evolutionary light. The challenge is to the idea that societies leading intellectual formulators of political and social policy have been helpful. Their alternative, and persuasive, interpretation is that the rise and survival of wealthier nations has been achieved because of an...

ISBN: 9780792374756 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What were all those diplomats and bureaucrats from all over the world doing at the United Nations over the past half century when they were not debating how to prevent countries from tearing at each other or how to feed and shelter victims of natural or man-made disasters around the globe? A lot in fact, at least in terms of time spent and the sweep of issues debated. A major category of them were discussing a whole range of economic ques- tions since the inception of the organization, while a slightly different category, with some members only changing hats, were talking about social Issues....

Economic Policy for Growth: Economic Development Is Human Development
ISBN: 9780792378464 / Angielski / Twarda / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economic Development is but one facet of Human Development. This forces us to ask - how do humans develop? Man is a social animal and the growth of our humanity requires various social institutions, such as bureaucracy. The paradox of capitalism is that it is a system ostensibly based on self-interest yet wholly dependent on non-market values for its success. These non-market values are shaped by two much-neglected factors, religion and ethnicity.
Economic Development is an applied field; whatever it claims as a conclusion should be an applicable conclusion. This requires attention to... Economic Development is but one facet of Human Development. This forces us to ask - how do humans develop? Man is a social animal and the growth of ou...

ISBN: 9780792380580 / Angielski / Twarda / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking Complexity Seriously applies the advanced policy analysis technique of triangulation to what is now the world's most complex public policy challenge: sustainable development.
One central problem of public policy analysis has been to find new ways of analyzing issues of increasing complexity and uncertainty. Triangulation is perhaps the best example of these novel techniques, as it uses various methods, databases, theories, and approaches to converge on what to do about the complex issue in question. Taking Complexity Seriously uses four different... Taking Complexity Seriously applies the advanced policy analysis technique of triangulation to what is now the world's most complex public po...

Latin America: Mercosur
ISBN: 9780792381525 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Latin America's experience with regional economic integration has been only slightly shorter than that of Europe. In fact, the first attempt at integration started as early as 1960, with the creation of LAFTA - the Latin American Free Trade Area (subsequently replaced by LAIA - the Latin American Integration Association). LAFTA, composed of 11 countries, sought, unsuccessfully, to create a free trade area in 12 years. In 1969, the Andean pact, which sought, also unsuccessfully, to create a sub-regional free trade area, was set up. Recently the Presidents of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and...

Markets for Water: Potential and Performance
ISBN: 9780792382560 / Angielski / Twarda / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Markets for Water: Potential and Performance dispels many of the myths surrounding water markets and gives readers a comprehensive picture of the way that markets have developed in different parts of the world. It is possible, for example, for a water market to fail, and for the transaction costs in water markets to be excessive.
Too often water trading is banned because the water resources have been developed with public funds and the water agencies do not want to lose control over water. There is also a concern that poor farmers or households will be disadvantaged by water...

Local and Regional Systems of Innovation
ISBN: 9780792382874 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In an era of intense globalization, the critical role of the region as a center for economic development has sometimes been overlooked. Moreover, innovation is increasingly being recognized as being a critical driver of economic growth and development. However, innovation is no longer being seen as a function of research and development; nor is R&D being seen as being sufficient for the creation of technology-intensive industries and the valuable economic spillovers that result in high value-added jobs and exports. Indeed, much more than ever before, it is the combination of factors...
