Book Introduction to Intercultural Economics

Download or read book Introduction to Intercultural Economics written by Rongxing Guo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a methodological framework for the analysis of intercultural issues frequently misinterpreted by existing theories. It uses a challenge-and-response theory of cultural development to examine the relationship between different natural disasters and threats and the developments of ancient civilizations. The spatial interaction of ancient civilizations is assessed; and four non-linear patterns of intercultural dynamics are presented. Our empirical analyses of the four major ancient civilizations (the Mesopotamian, the Egyptian, the Indus, and the Chinese) focus on intercultural influences as well as how they have shaped the spatial dynamics of the world as a whole. This book also examines various aspects of intercultural economic influences, such as those of culture on international trade. Evidence from a broad panel of nations supports the presumption that high-income trade partners will be less sensitive to the measures of cultural dissimilarity than low-income trade partners between which cultural dissimilarity leads to barriers to international trade. The treatment of linguistic and religious factors as continuous variables in this book has improved past studies in which ‘language’ was treated as one or more dummy variables and ‘religion’ was ignored.

Book An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy

Download or read book An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy written by Felix R. FitzRoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2nd edition of An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy explains the key scientific, economic and policy issues related to climate change in a completely up-to-date introduction for anyone interested, and students at all levels in various related courses, including environmental economics, international development, geography, politics and international relations. FitzRoy and Papyrakis highlight how economists and policymakers often misunderstand the science of climate change, underestimate the growing threat to future civilization and survival and exaggerate the costs of radical measures needed to stabilize the climate. In contrast, they show how direct and indirect costs of fossil fuels – particularly the huge health costs of local pollution – actually exceed the investment needed for transition to an almost zero carbon economy in two or three decades using available technology.

Book Introduction to International Economics

Download or read book Introduction to International Economics written by Dominick Salvatore and published by . This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the world economy really works. From restrictions on the flow of international trade, to the globalization of capital markets, to the frequent financial and economic crises in emerging markets--the international economic problems facing the world today seem more challenging and complex than ever before. With Dominick Salvatore's straightforward, brief, real-world introduction to international economics, you can learn the essential principles you need to understand how the world economy works. A wealth of cases makes the material relevant. The text features 81 cases from economics and business (three to six per chapter). These real-world case studies are generally short and to the point, and illustrate the most important topics presented in the chapter. Chapters that deal with the same basic concept use a consistent example. The same graphical and numerical model is used in Chapters 2 through 6 (the chapters that deal with trade theory and policy) eliminating the need to start with a new example each time. Examples that use actual numbers and graphs are presented on scales. This makes the various concepts and theories presented more concrete, accessible, pertinent, and the graphs easier to read and understand. Helpful learning tools reinforce key concepts. Each chapter includes a wealth of learning tools, such as Learning Objectives, Key Terms, Concept Checks, Summaries, Review Questions and Problems, and Internet links. Web resources keep you up to date. The Companion Website (www.wiley.com/college/salvatore) for this text presents additional examples, cases, and theoretical points and questions, as well as problems that can be answered or solved using the Internet. The website is continuously updated to reflect important new developments in the international economy as they unfold.

Book Theories of International Economics

Download or read book Theories of International Economics written by Peter M. Lichtenstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International economic theories emerged within particular social, economic and political frameworks and were developed as solutions to the problems of contemporary economics. In order to understand the increasingly complex and interdependent state of today’s international economy, we need to realise the importance of those theories that came before. However, many international economics textbooks do not place the theories they discuss within this historical context. Theories of International Economics aims to redress the balance by taking a pluralistic approach, presenting with authority both orthodox and heterodox international economic theories. Each chapter shows the necessarily interdependent nature of schools of international economic theories by including an historical component that shows how each school of thought developed, why it developed and what it has to say about the contemporary world. This text examines a wide range of theories with an emphasis on the benefits of a pluralistic approach, addressing schools of thought including Classical, Neoclassical, Keynesian, Post Keynesian, Marxian, Austrian, Institutional and Feminist Economics, Mercantilism and Neo-Mercantilism, alongside – and in relation to – each other. This approach allows the scholarly value of each approach to be understood and appreciated, and in doing so enables a greater understanding of the world economy. This book is suitable for use as either a core or supplementary text on international economics and international political economy courses.

Book International Economic Relations since 1945

Download or read book International Economic Relations since 1945 written by Catherine R. Schenk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international economy since 1945 has endured dramatic changes in its balance of power, from the early period of prosperity for industrialised nations, to the 2008/9 global crisis. In this volume Catherine Schenk outlines these huge changes, examines how the world’s economic leaders have tried to organise and influence the international economy and presents the key frameworks in which international economic relations have developed. Focusing on the pattern of international trade, international investment and the changing organisation of the international monetary system, this volume takes a chronological approach of key time-frames, and shows how policy has impacted the balance of the international economy. Major events such as European integration in the 1960’s, the collapse of the international monetary system and oil crisis in the 1970’s the return of China to the international economy in the 1980’s and emerging market crises in the 1990s are discussed within the context of key themes including global economic and regulatory co-ordination, the role of American economic hegemony, the evolution of exchange rate policy and unequal development. International Economic Relations since 1945 is the perfect guide for all students of economic history and international history, and for those seeking to understand recent economic trends in a longer term perspective.
