Business Cycles And Depressions

Economic and business uncertainty dominate today´s economic analyses. This new Ecyclopedia illuminates the subject by offering 327 original articles on every major aspect of business cycles, fluctuations, financial crises, recessions, and depressions. The work of more than 200 experts, including many of the leading researchers in the field, the articles cover a broad range of subjects, including capsule biographies of leading economist born before 1920.

The Encyclopedia introduces readers to the principal ideas, concepts, facts, and events and provides a guide to the most important published literature. The articles about specific historical episodes will be especially helpful for charting patterns and constructing theoretical scenarios. Avoiding jargon and highly technical language, the material is accessible to nonspecialists interested in learning about business cycles in general o about a particular phase of a cycle. No other encyclopedia or dictionary on economics provides a comparable wide-ranging survey of economic phenomena that in the past decade have become the primary focus of economics research. Bibliographies after each entry and an index are included. A chronology of major business cycles in the U.S. completes the coverage.

Finite Sample Econometric: Avanced Texts In Econometric.

Finite sample results are extremely useful for applied researchers doing proper econometric analysis, especially with small or moderately large sample data. As a solid introduction to this field, this book provides simple and intuitive presentations of difficult concepts, unified and heuristic developments of methods, an applications to various econometric models.

This is the first book to discuss the basic analytical tools of finite sample econometrics and explore their applications to models covered in a first-year graduate course in econometrics. It provides a new perspective on teaching an research in econometrics, and other applied subjects, covering repression functions, dynamic models, forecasting, simultaneous equations models, panel data models, and censored models. It studies both linear and nonlinear models, as well as models with normal and non-normal errors.

Finite Sample Econometrics is an excellent introduction and resource for researchers in economics, statistics, psychology, sociology, engineering, and the medical sciences, and for graduate students in econometrics, statistics, and other applied sciences.

Gestion Ambiental De Ciudades: Teoría Crítica Y Aportes Metodológicos

En este sexto título de la serie Textos Básicos para la Formación Ambiental, Roberto Fernández aborda uno de los problemas ambientales más críticos de esta región: la sustentabilidad de las ciudades y del proceso de urbanización. América Latina alberga a las grandes megaciudades del planeta, caracterizadas por un proceso desordenado de crecimiento que no sólo se manifiesta por los altos niveles de contaminación urbana, sino por la extensa "huella ecológica" que ha dejado en el espacio rural nacional y transfronterizo. El proceso urbano ha externalizado sus costos ecológicos, sobreexplotando los recursos naturales, hidrológicos, energéticos y humanos de su entorno, socavando las bases para un desarrollo sustentable y un ordenamiento ecológico del territorio.

Gestión Ambiental de Ciudades: Teoría Crítica y Aportes Metodológicos ofrece un análisis crítico de los problemas ambientales del desarrollo urbano, en particular de América Latina, en cuanto a su falta de lineamientos técnico-metodológicos para generar formas de gestión tendientes a resolver dichos problemas. Desde la perspectiva de una racionalidad ambiental, Fernández plantea una genealogía de las ciudades latinoamericanas y una etiología de sus crisis de crecimiento. Hace un recuento de la historia de la construcción de las ciudades, de sus fallas de planificación, planteando las condiciones ecológicas, culturales y sociales de habitabilidad necesarias para alcanzar un desarrollo sustentable del proceso de urbanización.

Global Institutions And Development

This book examines the concepts that have powerfully influenced development policy and more broadly looks at the role of ideas in international development institutions and how they have affected current development discourse. The authors analyze why some ideas are taken up by these institutions, how the ideas travel within the systems and how they are translated into policy, modified, distorted or resisted.

Global Political Economy: Evolution And Dynamics

This engaging new text provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the global political economy of today set in a broad historical context.

Part analyses the emergence of an international political economy from the fifteenth century though the industrial Revolution and the consolidation of the pos-1945 world order up to the present. The authors next proceed to explore the dynamics of the present global political economy, providing systematic coverage of the key dimensions in relation to trade, production, labour, finance development and the environment. They conclude with an assessment of global governance, and most centrally how markets can be regulated to meet human purposes in an increasingly global economy.

Lucid, accessible and authoritative. Global Political Economy introduces an usually wide range of theoretical approaches, moving beyond a traditional three-paradigm perspective to show how these theories can be applied and how useful they are in tackling key developments and issues.
