Economic Opening Up and Growth in Russia: Finance, Trade, Market Institutions, and Energy
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540204598 |
Book Description
After a decade of sharp economic decline, Russia switched to an impressive period of economic growth. Yet the economic record is still mixed, and many key problems remain unresolved, both in the economic sphere and the political system. The focus is on economic dynamics in Russia, reasons for its hesitant opening up process as well as the special role of the natural resources sector which is expected to continue to grow. This analysis highlights the existing deficiencies of the Russian economic system and raises doubts about the sustainability of growth. Twin focus is on required reforms and endogenous forces that impair liberalizing trade and investment in an orderly way. Russian discussions on WTO and other international topics are reflected.

Growth, Trade and Economic Institutions (Journal of Economics / Zeitschrift für Nationalökonomie Supplementum)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 3211007938 |
Book Description
Endogenous growth is examined from the viewpoint of economic history, institutions, international trade and political economy. The variance in institutional quality can be explained by historical differences in biogeographical potential for early agriculture. The expansion of output can lead to dis-agglomeration. Economies integrate, if the productivity of R&D do not vary too much for them. There are cycles, in which research people switch back and forth between applied and basic R&D. When one of the sectors is capital intensive, the balanced-growth path can exhibit local indeterminacy. The patterns of growth are sensitive to technology parameters of the capital good industry. Among the other aspects examined are the growth effects of tax competition, the political economy of employment protection, the equilibrium in a dynamic multi-sector economy and the dependence of growth on relative wages, employment and the firm size.

Imports and Growth in Highly Indebted Countries: An Empirical Study (Studies in Economics and Institutions)
Jesko Hentschel Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0387550895 |
Book Description
A real imports of capital and intermediate goods declined sharply for highly indebted countries in the 1980s, these economies were faced with the need to substitute previously imported factors of production with domestic capital and labor. The study empirically analyzes the degree of import dependence of twelve developing countries. Estimates of the short-run elasticity of substitution characterize both imported capital and intermediate goods to behave like complements in the production process in the developing countries. Long-run substitution elasticites differ considerably among the group of economies, especially for imported machinery and equipment. The results indicate that inward-oriented strategies have not achieved the aim of reducing the import dependence of the developing economies. In order to visualize the implications of the differing degree of import dependence, a partial equilibrium econometric model is used to analyze the reaction of the trade account on external shocks and domestic policies in Columbia and Ecuador. Simulations show that the dependence on imported production means can transform an "adjustment with growth" of the external account into an "adjustment or growth" controversy.

Trade, Growth and Development: The Role of Politics and Institutions
Gote Hansson Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 0415087600 |
Book Description
Since the end of World War II, the economic gap between rich and poor countries has increased steadily.
Trade, Growth and Development examines this disparity and assesses the reasons why some developing countries have been more economically successful than others.
The contributors provide both theoretical and empirical coverage of a wide range of countries, from some of the poorest in the world to the wealthiest. The essays examine recent developments in the theory of trade, growth and economic development, and provide an empirical analysis of policy and performance in Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
As a whole, the essays offer an analysis of traditional economic factors and emphasize the role of politics and institutions in the process of economic development. As famine strikes again in sub-Saharan Africa,
Trade, Growth and Development offers a timely reminder of the importance of sound development policy.
Contributors: Bo Sodersten, Pranab Bardhan, Ronald Findlay, Mats Lundahl, Tarmo Haavisto, Claudio Evald Nalin, Lars Pira, Magnus Blomstrom, Robert E.

The Old Farmer's Almanac 1998 (Paper)
Old Farmer's Almanac Manufacturer: Villard Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1571980431 |
Amazon.com
It's great bathroom reading, it's the gardener's best friend, it's the amateur meteorologist's favorite publication.... it's The Old Farmer's Almanac, dishing out timely advice every year since 1792. One early issue described the almanac's mission: "We must strive always to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humor." The 1998 version of this handy little book fulfills that goal admirably, with everything you always expected to find in an almanac--from long-range weather forecasts to the best time to plant peas--and lots that you didn't, including how to hypnotize a frog. (Hint: make little circling motions with your hand.) There's even a "Millennium Countdown" section, with questions from the Old Farmer's Almanac of 100 years ago as well as instructions on opening champagne bottles safely.Book Description
A new edition of the annual reference furnishes long-range weather forecasts, tide tables, agricultural tips, predictions on Consumer Tastes and Trends, astronomical data, recipes, history, and lore, how-to advice, and more. Softcover.Customer Reviews:

Book Description
This book looks at the mathematical foundations of the models currently in use. This is crucial for the correct interpretation of the outputs of the models. A bioinformatician should be able not only to use software packages, but also to know the mathematics behind these packages.
From this point of view, mathematics departments throughout the world have a major role to play in bioinformatics education by teaching courses on the mathematical foundations of the subject. Based on the courses taught by the author the book combines several topics in biological sequence analysis with mathematical and statistical material required for such analysis.
