Emergent Macroeconomics: An Agent-Based Approach to Business Fluctuations

Emergent Macroeconomics: An Agent-Based Approach to Business Fluctuations
This book contributes substantively to the current state-of-the-art of macroeconomics by providing a method for building models in which business cycles and economic growth emerge from the interactions of a large number of heterogeneous agents. Drawing from recent advances in agent-based computational modeling, the authors show how insights from dispersed fields like the microeconomics of capital market imperfections, industrial dynamics and the theory of stochastic processes can be fruitfully combined to improve our understanding of macroeconomic dynamics.

Drug War Heresies: Learning from Other Vices, Times, and Places

Drug War Heresies: Learning from Other Vices, Times, and Places
This meticulously researched study represents the first effort to provide a nonpartisan and objective analysis of how the United States should approach the drug legalization question. It surveys what is known about the effects of different drug policies in Western Europe and what happened when cocaine and heroin were legal in the US a century ago. The book shows that legalization involves different tradeoffs between health and crime and the interests of the inner city minority communities and the middle class. The book explains why it is so difficult to accomplish substantial reform of drug policy.

Economics as Ideology By Rowman & Littlefield Publishers

Economics as Ideology By Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
Economics as Ideology: Keynes, Laski, Hayek and the Creation of Contemporary Politics explores the lives and thought of three powerful theorists who shaped the foundations of the center, left, and right of the political spectrum in the 20th century. Noted scholar Kenneth R. Hoover examines how each thinker developed their ideas, looks at why and how their views evolved into ideologies, and draws connections between these ideologies and our contemporary political situation. Similar in age, colleagues in academic life, and participants in the century's defining political events, the story of Keynes, Laski, and Hayek is also the story of how we in the west came to define politics as the choice between government and the market, between regulation and freedom, and between the classes and the masses.

Happiness and Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being

Happiness and Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being by Bruno S. Frey, Alois Stutzer
Princeton University Press | 2001 | ISBN: 0691069972 | English | 200 pages | PDF | 1.45 MB

Still convinced money doesn't buy happiness? In Happiness & Economics: How the Economy and Institutions Affect Human Well-Being, economists Bruno S. Frey (Inspiring Economics) and Alois Stutzer demonstrate how unemployment and inflation lead to unhappiness and argue that increased happiness comes with increased wealth. While this is no surprise, their next declaration may be. Far more important than wealth to well-being, they say, is democracy. Drawing on research conducted in Switzerland's single-economy, multi-state nation (where levels of democracy vary between cantons) the authors show how participation in governmental procedures and a sense of local autonomy empowers and satisfies people more than a full wallet. -- Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

This textbook is an introduction to the world of experimental economics. Contributors such as Reinhard Selten and Axel Leijonhufvud add to a book that begins with an exploration of the history of experimental economics before moving on to describing how to set up an economics experiment and surveying selected applications and the latest methods. This user-friendly book demonstrates how students can use the lessons learned within it to conduct original research.

With their free-flowing, discursive yet precise style, Friedman and Cassar have created a book that will be simply essential to students of experimental economics across the world. Thanks to its authoritative content, the book will also find its way onto every respectable economists bookshelf.

The Conservative Nanny State

Read online or download the pdf of this free eBook “The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer”, written by Dean Baker.

In his new book, economist Dean Baker debunks the myth that conservatives favor the market over government intervention. In fact, conservatives rely on a range of “nanny state” policies that ensure the rich get richer while leaving most Americans worse off. It’s time for the rules to change. Sound economic policy should harness the market in ways that produce desirable social outcomes – decent wages, good jobs and affordable health care.

Law's Order: What Economics Has to Do with Law and Why It Matters

Law's Order: What Economics Has to Do with Law and Why It Matters By David D. Friedman
Publisher: Princ eton Univ ersity Press 2000 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0691010161 | PDF | 3 MB

Friedman, a professor at the University of Santa Clara School of Law who holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago, advocates an economic analysis of law and further suggests that there is a strong correspondence between efficiency and justice. Since efficiency is the foundation of modern economics, he argues, economics can be used to explain and shape the law in ways that can benefit us all. Especially insightful is the author's application of this theory to tort and contract law, which impose obligations based upon law and mutual consent, respectively. Friedman delineates formulae for dispute resolution in these and other areas of the law. His approach is modeled upon the teachings of noted British economist Ronald Coase, whose theorem on transaction costs has formed the basis for analysis of economic problems arising from tort and contract litigation for the last 40 years. The book's specialized audience includes students of law and economics served by academic and law libraries and perhaps private firm libraries whose staff serve client needs in the two aforementioned areas of litigation.

economic concepts, tools of analysis, their relevance in management
decision-making and also the influence of economic environment
on management decisions. To facilitate an easy understanding of
the subject, the timely help of illustrations, examr::es, diagrams,
tables and charts has been taken, Important terms relevant to the
business economics are given in a separate chapter. To my publisher,
