Review Public Economics and the Environment in an Imperfect World (Natural Resource Management and Policy) / Springer:Growing populations and economies have increased the public's awareness that the world's environmental resources are finite. The issues of global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer have given universal significance to what were once local and regional pollution problems. What is evident from Public Economics and the Environment in an Imperfect World is that Coasian negotiations fail to internalize the costs of environmental degradation, often calling for public intervention through the market mechanism. In its consideration of such issues the book includes contributions on assessment problems, institutional aspects, the need for coordination and efficiency, and distribution issues.

Review China in the Wake of Asia's Financial Crisis (Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy) / Routledge:This book examines China's response to the Asian financial crisis of 1997, both in its immediate aftermath and in the years since. The crisis caused turmoil throughout Asia's economies, and precipitated wholesale reform of economic and financial policies and institutions across the region. As one of Asia's largest economies, China responded to the crisis more successfully than many others, avoiding devaluation of its currency, whilst undertaking financial reform, restructuring state-owned enterprises, rural development, and social security systems. This book considers all of these issues, showing how the lessons drawn from the crisis have helped shape China's policies of liberalisation and market-orientated reform, including its attitude towards globalisation and the outside world in general. Based on research conducted by the China Development Research Foundation, one of China's leading think-tanks, this book includes contributions from senior policy makers in the Chinese government and some experts participating directly in the government's policy-making process to assess the effects generated by the country's related policies, making it an indispensable account of China's own thinking on its response to the financial crisis.

Review God and the Moneylenders: Usury and the Law in Early Modern England / Blackwell Pub:This work examines the history of usury in England, starting with medieval times when usury was condemned and punished by both ecclesiastical and secular laws. It was not unitl 1571 that the ban against usury was relaxed by Parliament - for some, a classic example of the change in mentality brought about by the Reformation and the rise in capitalism. Weber and Tawney believed there was a link between Protestant doctrine and the acceptance of a new version of economic propriety. The author establishes how, by the early 17th century economics had been divorced from religion, economic self-aggrandizement had become morally acceptable and the taking of interest had become natural. about the energy they contain and the chemical changes that ensue as that energy becomes automatically redistributed. It attempts to reveal the fundamental reasons why the world is a place of material diversity and change.

Review Corporate Governance and Globalization: Long Range Planning Issues (New Horizons in International Business series) / Edward Elgar Publishing:This major book provides a new understanding of systems of corporate governance, notably in the USA, Japan and the EU. The contributors discuss how governance influences corporate cultures and strategies, particularly in response to the effects of deepening integration in the world economy. These effects present challenges for governments, obliging them to focus increasingly on problems of the management of structural and foreign trade policies. Challenges in international financial markets also have to be confronted by policymakers as industries are funded more and more through cross-border investments, which reflect the responses of systems of corporate governance to globalization. The chapters of this book link studies of corporate governance with surveys of efficiencies and failures in international financial markets, and examine aspects of corporate governance systems that have special significance for the management of economic policies as globalization continues. The contributors advocate increased international cooperation to promote more structural complementarities in the world economy.

Review Asian Catastrophe Insurance / Risk Books:Catastrophes have had a more devastating impact on insurers over the past 15 years than in the entire history of insurance. Despite its rapidly developing economies and cutting-edge technological base, catastrophes particularly blight the Asian continent. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, typhoons and volcanoes affect the whole region, from the simplest to the most complex infrastructures, and both the new engines of growth and the largest Asian economies. Consequently Asia, especially China, India and Japan, constitutes a major growing market for catastrophe insurance. This comprehensive book presents a range of perspectives on natural hazards risk and alternative risk transfer (ART) from academia (such as Beijing, Kyoto and Cambridge universities), government (including the World Bank and Secretary of Agriculture and Cooperation, Government of India) and industry leaders (see table of contents for the list of contributors). Risk management in Asia requires a solid understanding of the potential for catastrophic events, the vulnerability of the human, built and economic environments to these events, and the potential for reducing impacts through integrated and properly financed programs. This book focuses on some of the most significant natural hazards such as a tsunami, floods and the natural hazard likely to have the world s largest future financial impact, a Tokyo earthquake. With its breadth of in-depth, expert perspectives it will help you: learn from recent catastrophes; explore technological directions for enhanced modelling performance; increase your integration with enterprise IT systems and identify opportunities for improved data management; assess, underwrite and manage catastrophe risk more effectively.

Review 40 Years of Research on Rent Seeking 1: Theory of Rent Seeking / Springer:The last survey of the rent-seeking literature took place more than a decade ago. Since that time a great deal of new research has been published in a wide variety of journals, covering a wide variety of topics. The breadth of that research is such that very few researchers will be familiar with more than a small part of contemporary research, and very few libraries will be able to provide access to the full breadth of that research. This two-volume collection provides an extensive overview of 40 years of rent-seeking research. The volumes include the foundational papers, many of which have not been in print for two decades. They include recent game-theoretic analyses of rent-seeking contests and also applications of the rent-seeking concepts and methodology to economic regulation, international trade policy, economic history, political competition, and other social phenomena. The new collection is more than twice as large as any previous collection and both updates and extends the earlier surveys. Volume I contains previously published research on the theory of rent-seeking contests, which is an important strand of contemporary game theory. Volume II contains previously published research that uses the theory of rent-seeking to analyze a broad range of public policy and social science topics. The editors spent more than a year assembling possible papers and, although the selections fill two large volumes, many more papers could have been included. [+]Our aim has been to include the most important contributions in the literature and give a broad overview of secondary contributions. The end result is a fine collection that shows the flexibility and power of the rent-seeking methodology, and the light shed on a broad range of political, social, and institutional research issues. Each volume begins with an extensive survey of the literature written by the editors and an overview of the contributions included in the two volumes.

Review Foundations of Financial Management w/SAndP bind-in card + Time Value of Money bind-in card / McGraw-Hill/Irwin:Foundations of Financial Management is a proven and successful text recognized for its excellent writing style and step-by-step explanations to make the content relevant and easy to understand.

This text has definitely stood the test of time due to the authors' time, energy, and commitment to quality revisions. In addition to completing the textbook revisions, the authors also revised ALL end of chapter problems and complete the solutions themselves.
