Essential Microeconomics for Public Policy Analysis
John M. Levy Manufacturer: Praeger Paperback ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0275943631 |
Book Description
John Levy's text presents microeconomic theory for use in analyzing and formulating public policy. It couples a direct and non-intimidating approach to essential theory with a presentation that is sophisticated at the policy level. It does not attempt to cover the entire body of economic theory, but rather presents those elements of theory most relevant to courses in public economics and public policy in such programs as public administration, policy analysis, health planning, environmental management, urban affairs, and urban planning. The text is divided into two parts. The first introduces basic concepts with an emphasis on their philosophical underpinnings and policy uses; the second consists of six essays on policy-related subjects, selected to make use of concepts presented in the first part. Among the unusual features of the book are the discussion of the tax expenditure concept, benefit cost analysis with numerical example, substantial discussions of the origins and philosophical implications of economic man as a behavioral model, and an entire chapter devoted to public choice.

Causal and Stochastic Elements in Business Cycles: An Essential Extension of Macroeconomics Leading to Improved Predictions of Data (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)
Arvid Aulin Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 3540605932 |
Book Description
The prevailing orthodoxy according to which all macroeconomic theory should be reducible to microeconomics is criticized. Such a dogma excludes from economics the creation of new knowledge, which - as distinguished from the mere transmission of knowledge in education and training - is a social process not reducible to microeconomics. A mathematical extension of the Lucas theory to allow for the effects of creation of knowledge upon economic development is shown to improve essentially the prediction of business cycle data, when compared with the conventional real business cycle models of Kydland and Prescott, Hansen and Rogerson, and Danthine and Donaldson.

Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia: Challenges And Opportunities for Microenterprises And Public Employment Schemes (Global Food & Nutrition Security) (Global Food & Nutrition Security)
Nurul Islam Manufacturer: Food Products Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1560223006 |
Book Description
Fight rural poverty through the creation of significant policy mechanisms, microenterprises, and employment programsThe majority of the world's poor live in Asia, and most of these live in rural areas. These areas are also infamous for the food insecurity and malnutrition associated with poverty. Making even a modest dent in rural Asian poverty has the potential to realize large gains in global human development.
Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia provides evidence-based guidelines for policymakers in developing countries, for researchers focusing on development problems, and for the international development assistance community in the continuing search for ways to effectively reduce poverty in the developing world. Detailed examinations are clearly presented on the efforts for poverty alleviation through microenterprise development and rural public employment programs that focus on public works and household/small-scale industries. Asia-based case studies of various microenterprises and rural public employment projects reveal important policy mechanisms and the effectiveness of each poverty reduction measure. Tables, figures, and relevant glossaries make unfamiliar terms and difficult information easy to understand.
Part I of Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia:
presents a framework for the analysis of rural microenterprises with a focus on microfinance
highlights the main findings of country-specific case studies
suggests guidelines for an appropriate strategy for the provision of microfinance to reach the poor, alleviate poverty, and create financial stability
analyzes the issues relating to public wage employment schemes and the principal findings of the case studies
draws policy conclusions for the formulation of effective public employment schemes Part II of Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia presents case studies conducted in India, Bangladesh, and the Philippinesalong with revealing conclusions. These studies include: the SIDBI Foundation for Micro Credit in Indiaincluding the continuing problem of the exclusion of the poorest
the Maharashtra Rural Credit Project in India and concerns about the sustainability of the financial infrastructure
the Small Enterprises Development Project in Bangladesh and the high rate of return on capital from financed enterprises
the successes of the Grameen Uddog, Agrani Bank Micro-Enterprise Development Unit (MEDU), and Kishoreganj Community-Based Projects in Bangladesh
the income-stabilizing role of the Employment Guarantee Scheme in Maharashtra, India
guidelines for the Public Works Employment policy and implementation in the Philippines Reducing Rural Poverty in Asia is a concise overview of the crucial research undertaken at the request of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and makes this a vital resource for researchers, educators, students, policymakers, and development experts working towards the goal of poverty reduction.
