Download or read book Information Economics written by Urs Birchler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1999-06-23 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new text book by Urs Birchler and Monika Butler is an introduction to the study of how information affects economic relations. The authors provide a narrative treatment of the more formal concepts of Information Economics, using easy to understand and lively illustrations from film and literature and nutshell examples. The book first covers the economics of information in a 'man versus nature' context, explaining basic concepts like rational updating or the value of information. Then in a 'man versus man' setting, Birchler and Butler describe strategic issues in the use of information: the make-buy-or-copy decision, the working and failure of markets and the important role of outguessing each other in a macroeconomic context. It closes with a 'man versus himself' perspective, focusing on information management within the individual. This book also comes with a supporting website (www.alicebob.info), maintained by the authors.
Download or read book Information Structures in Economics written by M. Nermuth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a contribution to the theory of markets with imperfect information. The subject being nearly limitless, only certain selected topics are discussed. These are outlined in the Introduction (Ch. 0). The remainder of the book is divided into three parts. All results of economic significance are contained in Parts II & III. Part I introduces the main tools for the analysis, in particular the concept of an information structure. Although most of the material presented in Part I is not original, it is hoped that the detailed and self-contained exposition will help the reader to understand not only the following pages, but also the existing technical and variegated literature on markets with imperfect information. The mathematical prerequisites needed, but not explained in the text rarely go beyond elementary calculus and probability theory. Whenever more advanced concepts are used, I have made an effort to give an intuitive explanation as well, so that the argument can also be followed on a non-technical level (cf. e.g. the treatment of the "generic" viewpoint in Ch. 9). In the same spirit, discussion of mathematical assumptions is limited to those which have economic sig- ficance, whereas purely "technical" assumptions (like differentiability or integrability of certain functions) are usually made without comment whenever convenient. The logical interdependence of chapters is as follows: Ch. 3 . Ch. 1 /~I--=---- Ch. 4 Ch. 2 Ch. 8 ~I -=--- /"'-.... Ch.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information technique as a profession is still so young, that few opinions have settled. The influence of the new possibilities in infor mation technique on the functioning of organisations is so little under stood, that important questions like: what is the potential of a com puter in the firm, will management ultimately be replaced by one man-with-a-keyboard, remain unanswered. Many people are convinced that the impact of computers on the way we manage our enterprises will be enormous, but they grope in the dark for qualitative and quantitative measures to describe it. Naturally, at this early point in the development, the present appli cations of the computer appear incidental and offer no basis for a quest into its potential. Moreover, the present descriptions of management structures preclude an exact study of these structures, let alone a quantitative treatment of any influence upon it. In this study a number of exact concepts is developed to describe the typical grouped tasks as they occur in an organisation. These con cepts are characterised by the fact, that the activity of management units can be described comprehensively in terms of data processing. After all, practically everything we do is data processing of some sort. The picture of a management structure as it can be constructed with these concepts is, ignoring the typically human elements like motivation and inspiration, rather dull but it lends itself quite well for conclusions about computer application.
Download or read book Information and Communication in Economics written by Robert E. Babe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993-11-30 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is a burgeoning interest among economists in `information economics', much of the literature adopts a reductionist conceptualization of information, defining it exclusively as reduction in uncertainty, exploring the implications of imperfect information on markets. This neoclassical treatment obscures major interrelations between economic and communicatory processes. Drawing on a range of distinguished scholarship from both the economic and communication studies disciplines, Information and Communication in Economics explores the implications for economic analysis and our understanding of economic processes of employing a more complete conceptualization of information: information as locus of power; information as evolutionary agent; and media systems as devices for control.

Download or read book The economics of information written by Przemysław Deszczyński and published by Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economics of information. Theory and practice is an English-language version of the monograph Ekonomia informacji written in September 2019 and published at the beginning of 2020. The idea of translating it into English was born after posting the texts on Research-Gate. Then requests to make it available in English appeared. Rapid changes that have taken place in the world economy over the past year caused some authors to consider it necessary to include them in their texts. Therefore, the update of the texts have been provided, mainly in the context of consequences of the pandemic, but also concerning the entry of Brexit into the next phase. Attention was paid not only to the theoretical but most of all to the practical dimension of information economics. Moreover, the comments that appeared in reviews published in scientific journals, including those concerning the structure of work, have been taken into account. The monograph consists of eight chapters. Each of them was written by a different author. In the first chapter, the conceptualization of the term ‘economics of information’ was presented. It covers the genesis of information economics, an original definition and methodological foundations. It is a starting point and supporting structure of the entire book. The authors of the remaining chapters refer to and comply with the adopted convention of analysis presented by the research editor. The second chapter is devoted to the economics of information in internal communication in the era of social media. It constitutes a sort of bridge between information economics and public relations narrowed down to internal communication. Jacek Trębecki refers to the relationship between behavioral economics and classical economics. He emphasizes that the consequence of information asymmetry may be its influence on distortion of decisions. Chapter three by Waldemar Rydzak – Changes in Access to Information in Crisis Situations – as intended by the author, is to be a starting point for a discussion about the role of information in the contemporary market, which is more and more frequently discussed in the context of the fourth digital wave of development, with significant influence of mass media and the Internet, also in the context of the COVID-related situation. In the fourth chapter, Filip Kaczmarek used the assumptions of counterfactual analysis in his considerations, and on the basis of its results he showed that the so-called opportunity costs, or ‘cost of non-Europe’, are used as an instrument of legitimizing the European Union. In chapter five by Aleksandra Rabczun, Brexit and the Economics of Information, the Brexit case was analyzed in the context of the role played by information economics in this process. Chapter six, written by Izabela Janicka, is an example of using the concept of economics of information to analyze one country, in this case Germany. It was also assumed that both macro and micro aspects are taken into account. The author points to the overriding role of information in the post-industrial economy and to the fact that information has become one of the basic production factors. She also introduces the concept of a functional information minimum and an information gap. In the seventh chapter Marcin Leszczyński defines the role of the state’s reputation in reducing information asymmetry in the global market. The chapter ends with the analysis of policy and diplomacy in shaping trust in a government and the demand for products from a given country on the example of the trade war between the US and China. In the eighth chapter, Information, Welfare and Migrations – Practical Remarks in the Context of the Economics of Information, Katarzyna Świerczyńska fitted into the scope of research on the impact of information on economy and economic decisions of entities at the mega-economic level.
