The Business of Economics
ISBN: 9780198292227 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Medicine and business management share certain similarities, writes John Kay. For centuries, the theories behind medical practice were mostly nonsense. Doctors simply applied fashionable nostrums, bleeding one patient, starving another, and sometimes the patient got better, sometimes not. The prestige of a doctor rested more on the social rank of his patients and the confidence of his assertions than on the evidence of his cures.

ISBN: 9780198293699 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many of economics' greatest successes have been outside the traditional boundaries of the discipline. Economic ideas have been the intellectual focus in the study of law, while in the study of politics, economists and political scientists using economics-type methods are uniquely influential. In sociology and history, economics has had a smaller but growing influence through "rational choice sociology" and "cliometrics."
This book shows that, in calling economics the "dismal science," Thomas Carlyle was profoundly wrong. Economic ideas have illuminated behaviour in all of the social...

ISBN: 9780198773535 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The discussion of unit roots and cointegration starts from first principles, builds up explanations of concepts and techniques step-by-step, and ultimately...

Volatility and Growth
ISBN: 9780199248612 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has long been recognized that productivity growth and the business cycle are closely interrelated. Yet, until recently, the two phenomena have been investigated separately in the economics literature. This book provides the first consistent attempt to analyze the effects of macroeconomic volatility on productivity growth, and also the reverse causality from growth to business cycles. The authors show that by looking at the economy through the lens of private entrepreneurs, who invest under credit constraints, one can go some way towards explaining persistent macroeconomic volatility and...
