Download or read book The Economic Development of West Africa in the Twenty First Century written by Germinal G Van and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Development of West Africa in the Twenty-First Century is a book of economic theory that seeks to explain empirically how West African nations can develop their respective economies in order to not only increase the living standard of their population but to also stimulate a regional economic growth. The book subsequently presents the introduction of a new economic model to determine how economic growth could potentially occur in West Africa on a long-term basis. To demonstrate his analysis, the author has combined the elements of public choice theory, which emphasize on the political features of an economy and those of the Solow Growth Model, which focus on generating economic productivity. The combination of the elements of these two economic tools is designed to determine, not the outcome, but the process whereby economic growth in West Africa could be stimulated in a long-time period.

Download or read book Capitalism written by Anwar Shaikh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox economics operates within a hypothesized world of perfect competition in which perfect consumers and firms act to bring about supposedly optimal outcomes. The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself. Most heterodox economists seize on this fact and insist that the world is characterized by imperfect competition. But this only ties them to the notion of perfect competition, which remains as their point of departure and base of comparison. There is no imperfection without perfection. In Capitalism, Anwar Shaikh takes a different approach. He demonstrates that most of the central propositions of economic analysis can be derived without any reference to standard devices such as hyperrationality, optimization, perfect competition, perfect information, representative agents, or so-called rational expectations. This perspective allows him to look afresh at virtually all the elements of economic analysis: the laws of demand and supply, the determination of wage and profit rates, technological change, relative prices, interest rates, bond and equity prices, exchange rates, terms and balance of trade, growth, unemployment, inflation, and long booms culminating in recurrent general crises. In every case, Shaikh's innovative theory is applied to modern empirical patterns and contrasted with neoclassical, Keynesian, and Post-Keynesian approaches to the same issues. Shaikh's object of analysis is the economics of capitalism, and he explores the subject in this expansive light. This is how the classical economists, as well as Keynes and Kalecki, approached the issue. Anyone interested in capitalism and economics in general can gain a wealth of knowledge from this ground-breaking text.

Download or read book Career As an Economist written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECONOMISTS APPLY ECONOMIC THEORIES and knowledge to determine how best to allocate resources. Those resources may include money, but can also include anything from crops to labor to clean air. They study, research, predict, and evaluate business and revenue trends in every industry and in every level of government. The work itself involves considerable research and the collection of large amounts of data. Economists start with surveys, random samples, and statistical models. They study people's spending behavior, changing demographics, how scarce resources are distributed, and how various laws affect the economic health of individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. They also look at trends, both current and historical, prices, jobs, taxes, interest rates, and the financial markets. Sophisticated software is then used to analyze all the information they have amassed. Based on their evaluations, economists can predict future trends and recommend ways to improve outcomes in prices, productivity, employment rates, exports, and more. Their analyses and forecasts are frequently published in academic journal articles and other media sources. Many economists work for the government. Economists employed by the federal government conduct the most surveys and collect most of the economic data in the US. They work in many different agencies, from the Department of Defense to the Department of the Interior. Their common goal is to assess current economic conditions and advise policy makers on how changes in legislation or public policy will affect the economy in the future. At the state and local level, government economists deal with issues such as income and sales taxes, minimum wage requirements, expansion of schools, and strengthening infrastructure. Outside of government, economists work for all kinds of organizations and individuals. Businesses in every industry hire economists, but their advice is especially valuable to those with interests in other countries. Economists help companies determine what to sell, how much to produce, the selling price, staffing needs, what the competition is likely to do, and how consumer preferences will change over time. They also work for major international organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the United Nations, where they study a variety of economic issues of global importance. There are also some economists at work in brokerage and investment firms, research firms, think tanks, and nonprofit organizations. New economists can get started with a bachelor's degree, entering the field as research assistants or management trainees, but for most economist positions, a master's degree is required. To qualify for top chief economist jobs or to join a college faculty, a PhD is necessary. No matter how you cut it, there is a substantial investment in education. Is it worth it? Most economists say yes. They are paid an average annual salary of about $110,000, and the number employed is continuously rising. With an advanced degree and a few years in the field, it is possible to earn more than $175,000. Aside from good money, economists love the work, which is creative and intellectually stimulating. Economic conditions are constantly changing, making boredom very unlikely. Economists are smart professionals with the innate ability to solve perplexing problems and pinpoint meaningful details. They are great with puzzles and are obsessed with finding patterns and trends. If this sounds like you, then you may have what it takes to be an economist.

Download or read book The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money written by John Maynard Keynes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published by Macmillan in 1936. It was voted the top Academic Book that Shaped Modern Britain by Academic Book Week (UK) in 2017, and in 2011 was placed on Time Magazine's top 100 non-fiction books written in English since 1923. Reissued with a fresh Introduction by the Nobel-prize winner Paul Krugman and a new Afterword by Keynes’ biographer Robert Skidelsky, this important work is made available to a new generation. The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money transformed economics and changed the face of modern macroeconomics. Keynes’ argument is based on the idea that the level of employment is not determined by the price of labour, but by the spending of money. It gave way to an entirely new approach where employment, inflation and the market economy are concerned. Highly provocative at its time of publication, this book and Keynes’ theories continue to remain the subject of much support and praise, criticism and debate. Economists at any stage in their career will enjoy revisiting this treatise and observing the relevance of Keynes’ work in today’s contemporary climate.

Download or read book The Economics of Artificial Intelligence written by Ajay Agrawal and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely investigation of the potential economic effects, both realized and unrealized, of artificial intelligence within the United States healthcare system. In sweeping conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on many sectors of the economy, healthcare has received relatively little attention. Yet it seems unlikely that an industry that represents nearly one-fifth of the economy could escape the efficiency and cost-driven disruptions of AI. The Economics of Artificial Intelligence: Health Care Challenges brings together contributions from health economists, physicians, philosophers, and scholars in law, public health, and machine learning to identify the primary barriers to entry of AI in the healthcare sector. Across original papers and in wide-ranging responses, the contributors analyze barriers of four types: incentives, management, data availability, and regulation. They also suggest that AI has the potential to improve outcomes and lower costs. Understanding both the benefits of and barriers to AI adoption is essential for designing policies that will affect the evolution of the healthcare system.
