Download or read book Essays in Trespassing written by Albert O. Hirschman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-08-31 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together fourteen articles and papers written by Albert O. Hirschman. About half deal with the interaction of economic development with politics and ideology, the area in which Hirschman perhaps has made most noted contributions. Among these papers are 'The Rise and Declines of Development Economics', a magisterial and yet pointed essay in intellectual history and his famous article 'The Changing Tolerance for Income Inequality in the Course of Economic Development'. Hirschman's ability to trespass - or rather his inability not to trespass - from one social science to another and beyond is the unifying characteristic of the volume. Authoritative, searching surveys alternate here with essays presenting some of Hirschman's characteristic inventions, for instance the 'tunnel effect' and 'obituary-improving activities'. Three of the papers have not been published previously and a number of introductory notes have been especially drafted for the present volume to evoke the intellectual-political climate in which certain groups of essays were written.

Download or read book Essays on Economic Growth and the Time Allocation of Households written by Eisuke Okada and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both chapters are concerned with the time allocation behavior of people, and particular attention is paid to that of women. Chapter 1 is concerned with two of the most time-intensive activities that modern women engage in: working and raising children. What is it about the U.S. economy today that enables women to do more of both compared to one generation ago? Why, in contrast to it, has the fertility rate been declining so sharply in Japan? Chapter 2 focuses more exclusively on the labor supply decision. With a broader set of countries, I study how technology and policy influence the time allocation decision of men and women, and, consequently, their consumption decision as well.

Download or read book Poverty Inequality and Development written by Alain de Janvry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-09 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays honors a remarkable man and his work. Erik Thorbecke has made significant contributions to the microeconomic and the macroeconomic analysis of poverty, inequality and development, ranging from theory to empirics and policy. The essays in this volume display the same range. As a collection they make the fundamental point that deep understanding of these phenomena requires both the micro and the macro perspectives together, utilizing the strengths of each but also the special insights that come when the two are linked together. After an overview section which contains the introductory chapter and a chapter examining the historical roots of Erik Thorbecke's motivations, the essays in this volume are grouped into four parts, each part identifying a major strand of Erik's work—Measurement of Poverty and Inequality, Micro Behavior and Market Failure, SAMs and CGEs, and Institutions and Development. The range of topics covered in the essays, written by leading authorities in their own areas, highlight the extraordinary depth and breadth of Erik Thorbecke's influence in research and policy on poverty, inequality and development. Acknowledgements These papers were presented at a conference in honor of Erik Thorbecke held at Cornell University on October 10-11, 2003. The conference was supported by the funds of the H. E. Babcock Chair in Food, Nutrition and Public Policy, and the T. H. Lee Chair in World Affairs at Cornell University.
Download or read book Selected Essays on Employment and Growth written by Richard Ferdinand Kahn and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1972-05-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Kahn was a leading figure in the development of modern economic theory. Not only did he play a vital role in the conception of the new theories of employment and money in the inter-war period, but he also made important contributions to the further development of monetary theory and the theories of economic growth during the last half of the twentieth century. This selection of essays illustrates the broad range of Lord Kahn's achievement, from the path-breaking 'multiplier' article to a recent essay on the growth of corporate firms. It brings together both papers previously published in academic journals and papers published elsewhere, including his important evidence to the Radcliffe Committee and two radio talks on Lord Keynes.

Download or read book Perspectives on Economics and Management written by Saibal Ghosh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of economics and management is being reshaped in more ways than one including rapid advancements in technology and business practices. This book weaves together a diverse set of issues such as consumption patterns, wealth disparities and the management, behaviour and financial health of businesses and consumers to analyse the effectiveness of economic and business strategies. Rapid technological advancements along with the need for cost-effectiveness and convenience are making service providers embrace technology as a partner rather than a tool in their economic journey. Relatedly, traditional management philosophy is coming under a scanner, with an increasing emphasis on holistic development of the organization, rather than a top-down approach, as has been the case in the past. Understanding major developments in economic and financial policymaking has perennially been a key concern of public policy, shaped by recent global and related developments, this has necessitated a relook at these issues, couched in a cross-cutting perspective. Viewed from this standpoint, the present volume, written to honour the rich academic work of the eminent economist Professor Anindya Sen intersects this triad of economics, finance and public policy that are integral to policy thinking and its formulation. The smorgasbord of research ideas, involving both theoretical analysis and empirical evidence, presented in this volume, provides useful perspectives on the drivers that are continually reshaping the dynamism in the world around us and, in the process, integrates a multidisciplinary perspective of focusing on several pertinent policy challenges. This book will be useful to researchers and students of economics, finance and public policy, economic theorists, microeconomics, and even to those with a broader canvass such as researchers in macroeconomics, international economics, business, management and marketing.
