› Find signed collectible books: 'Emerging from Communism: Lessons from Russia, China, and Eastern Europe'Book summary:The collapse of communism in Europe was one of the most important world events since the end of World War II. Although China has taken major steps in the direction of capitalism, in Eastern Europe, China, and Central Asia the transformation has been only partly accomplished; in Cuba and North Korea it has not even begun. In Eastern Europe and Russia, economic reforms were accompanied by huge falls in output, followed by some recovery in Eastern Europe, especially in Poland. By contrast, in China output has grown steadily at a rate never seen in Europe.If free markets and private ownership are meant to increase economic opportunity and welfare, why has their introduction been accompanied by such pain in Eastern Europe and Russia? The contributors to this book believe that future reform strategies in any country depend on understanding what has occurred in these emerging economies so far. Issues addressed include inflation, privatization, enterprise restructuring, banking reform and labor market policy, and the role of decentralization in China's growth.Contributors : Peter Boone, Saul Estrin, Stanislaw Gomulka, Jacob Hørder, Richard Jackman, Richard Layard, Sweder Van Wijnbergen, Wing Thye Woo, Chengang Xu, Juzhong Zhuang.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Energy at the Crossroads: Global Perspectives and Uncertainties'Book summary:In Energy at the Crossroads, Vaclav Smil considers the twenty-first century's crucial question: how to reconcile the modern world's unceasing demand for energy with the absolute necessity to preserve the integrity of the biosphere. With this book he offers a comprehensive, accessible guide to today's complex energy issues -- how to think clearly and logically about what is possible and what is desirable in our energy future.After a century of unprecedented production growth, technical innovation, and expanded consumption, the world faces a number of critical energy challenges arising from unequal resource distribution, changing demand patterns, and environmental limitations. The fundamental message of Energy at the Crossroads is that our dependence on fossil fuels must be reduced not because of any imminent resource shortages but because the widespread burning of oil, coal, and natural gas damages the biosphere and presents increasing economic and security problems as the world relies on more expensive supplies and Middle Eastern crude oil.Smil begins with an overview of the twentieth century's long-term trends and achievements in energy production. He then discusses energy prices, the real cost of energy, and "energy linkages" -- the effect energy issues have on the economy, on quality of life, on the environment, and in wartime. He discusses the pitfalls of forecasting, giving many examples of failed predictions and showing that unexpected events can disprove complex models. And he examines the pros and cons not only of fossil fuels but also of alternative fuels such as hydroenergy, biomass energy, wind power, and solar power. Finally, he considers the future, focusing on what really matters, what works, what is realistic, and which outcomes are most desirable.

Fair Division And Collective Welfareby Herve MoulinISBN 0262134233 (0-262-13423-3)
Hardcover, Mit Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Fair Division And Collective Welfare'Book summary:The concept of fair division is as old as civil society itself. Aristotle's "equal treatment of equals" was the first step toward a formal definition of distributive fairness. The concept of collective welfare, more than two centuries old, is a pillar of modern economic analysis. Reflecting fifty years of research, this book examines the contribution of modern microeconomic thinking to distributive justice. Taking the modern axiomatic approach, it compares normative arguments of distributive justice and their relation to efficiency and collective welfare.
The book begins with the epistemological status of the axiomatic approach and the four classic principles of distributive justice: compensation, reward, exogenous rights, and fitness. It then presents the simple ideas of equal gains, equal losses, and proportional gains and losses. The book discusses three cardinal interpretations of collective welfare: Bentham's "utilitarian" proposal to maximize the sum of individual utilities, the Nash product, and the egalitarian leximin ordering. It also discusses the two main ordinal definitions of collective welfare: the majority relation and the Borda scoring method.
The Shapley value is the single most important contribution of game theory to distributive justice. A formula to divide jointly produced costs or benefits fairly, it is especially useful when the pattern of externalities renders useless the simple ideas of equality and proportionality. The book ends with two versatile methods for dividing commodities efficiently and fairly when only ordinal preferences matter: competitive equilibrium with equal incomes and egalitarian equivalence. The book contains a wealth of empirical examples and exercises. [via]More editions of Fair Division And Collective Welfare:

› Find signed collectible books: 'From Airline Reservations to Sonic the Hedgehog: A History of the Software Industry'Book summary:From its first glimmerings in the 1950s, the software industry has evolved to become the fourth largest industrial sector of the US economy. Starting with a handful of software contractors who produced specialized programs for the few existing machines, the industry grew to include producers of corporate software packages and then makers of mass-market products and recreational software. This book tells the story of each of these types of firm, focusing on the products they developed, the business models they followed, and the markets they served.By describing the breadth of this industry, Martin Campbell-Kelly corrects the popular misconception that one firm is at the center of the software universe. He also tells the story of lucrative software products such as IBM's CICS and SAP's R/3, which, though little known to the general public, lie at the heart of today's information infrastructure.With its wealth of industry data and its thoughtful judgments, this book will become a starting point for all future investigations of this fundamental component of computer history.

Game Theory and the Social Contract: Just Playingby K. G. BinmoreISBN 0262024446 (0-262-02444-6)
Hardcover, Mit Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Game Theory and the Social Contract: Just Playing'Book summary:In Volume 1 of Game Theory and the Social Contract, Ken Binmore restated the problems of moral and political philosophy in the language of game theory. In Volume 2, Just Playing, he unveils his own controversial theory, which abandons the metaphysics of Immanuel Kant for the naturalistic approach to morality of David Hume. According to this viewpoint, a fairness norm is a convention that evolved to coordinate behavior on an equilibrium of a society's Game of Life. This approach allows Binmore to mount an evolutionary defense of Rawls's original position that escapes the utilitarian conclusions that follow when orthodox reasoning is applied with the traditional assumptions. Using ideas borrowed from the theory of bargaining and repeated games, Binmore is led instead to a form of egalitarianism that vindicates the intuitions that led Rawls to write his Theory of Justice.Written for an interdisciplinary audience, Just Playing offers a panoramic tour through a range of new and disturbing insights that game theory brings to anthropology, biology, economics, philosophy, and psychology. It is essential reading for anyone who thinks it likely that ethics evolved along with the human species.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Job Creation and Destruction'Book summary:""Job Creation and Destruction" is the bible of the new view of the labor market. Every commentator on job turnover and labor-market dynamics should read this book carefully."
-- Robert E. Hall, Professor of Economics and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University"This landmark study should be read by every economist interested in unemployment, jobs, and the evolution of the economy."
-- Peter Diamond, Professor of Economics, MIT Using a recently created longitudinal establishment dataset, Steven J. Davis, John C. Haltiwanger, and Scott Schuh have studied the ebb and flow of jobs in U.S. manufacturing over the last two decades. Their surprising findings about where jobs are created and the frequency of job destruction have led to a body of journal articles and research by many other economists interested in the implications for modeling labor markets and comparisons to other industry settings. The authors now present this research in a single, up-to-date, complete source with an explanation of their methods and a discussion of the usefulness of these concepts and measures for economic policy.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Political Economy of Fairness'Book summary:How should governments balance the aims of justice and economic efficiency when intervening in the economy? This work seeks not only to raise the level of the fairness-economic efficiency debate, but also to show both the importance and the difficulty (illustrated by the ongoing struggle of the American Supreme Court to put meaning into the Sherman and Clayton antitrust acts) of getting the economic theory right in executing fairness-motivated policy. It also reveals both the pervasiveness of government interference in the marketplace and the generality of the stakeholders-fairness-efficiency paradigm as an organizing framework for identifying and analyzing the interaction of the major elements in the policy debates. This text covers the main advances of fairness theory, providing a vocabulary of concepts and terms that will allow more efficient and informed communication about policy. It explains these concepts and reviews the experimental work of economists as well as the more standard approaches of moral philosophers. Part One looks at how economists understand and commonly define the concepts of efficiency, costs, prices, exit/entry, externalities, public goods, firms, risks and incentives and principal-agent theory. Part Two reviews fairness theory, including the basic elements of the theories of John Rawls, Robert Nozick, utilitarianism and superfairness, along with the work of experimental economists to develop positive theories of fairness. Part Three covers economic theories of regulation and government intervention, introducing the concepts of taxation, "cures" for market failures, theories of public choice and rent seeking. The author concludes this part by observing that incentive-compatible regulation appears to economists as the most promising approach to government intervention. The book closes with several case studies that illustrate recurrent themes in regulation and policy. The case studies include progressive taxation, unfair pricing (cross-subsidization and predatory pricing and dumping), mergers and acquisitions, and health, safety and environmental regulation. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Recursive Macroeconomic Theory'Book summary:Recursive methods offer a powerful approach for characterizing and solving complicated problems in dynamic macroeconomics. Recursive Macroeconomic Theory provides both an introduction to recursive methods and advanced material, mixing tools and sample applications. The second edition contains substantial revisions to about half the original material, and extensive additional coverage appears in seven chapters new to this edition. The updated and added material covers exciting new topics that further illustrate the power and pervasiveness of recursive methods.Significant improvements to original chapters include a better treatment of the existence of recursive equilibria, an enhanced account of the supermartingale convergence theorem, and an extended treatment of an optimal taxation problem in an economy in which there are incomplete markets. Completely new coverage in the second edition includes an introductory chapter, which gives an overview of the themes uniting the diverse topics treated throughout the book. Two new chapters offer a self-contained account of the optimal growth model and some of its basic applications in macroeconomics and public finance. Other new chapters cover such topics as how to formulate and compute Stackelberg or Ramsey plans in linear economies, sustainable risk-sharing equilibria without commitment, and the application of recursive contracts to topics in international trade. Most chapters conclude with exercises and the book includes two technical appendixes covering functional analysis and control and filtering.

Scarcity, Conflicts, And Cooperation: Essays In The Political and Institutional Economics Of Developmentby Pranab K. BardhanISBN 0262524295 (0-262-52429-5)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Scarcity, Conflicts, And Cooperation: Essays In The Political and Institutional Economics Of Development'Book summary:This wide-ranging review of some of the major issues in development economics focuses on the role of economic and political institutions. Drawing on the latest findings in institutional economics and political economy, Pranab Bardhan, a leader in the field of development economics, offers a relatively nontechnical discussion of current thinking on these issues from the viewpoint of poor countries, synthesizing recent research and reflecting on where we stand today.The institutional framework of an economy defines and constrains the opportunities of individuals, determines the business climate, and shapes the incentives and organizations for collective action on the part of communities; Pranab Bardhan finds the institutional framework to be relatively weak in many poor countries. Institutional failures, weak accountability mechanisms, and missed opportunities for cooperative problem-solving become the themes of the book, with the role of distributive conflicts in the persistence of dysfunctional institutions a common thread.Special issues taken up include the institutions for securing property rights and resolving coordination failures; the structural basis of power; commitment devices and political accountability; the complex relationship between democracy and poverty (with examples from India, where both have been durable); decentralization and devolution of power; persistence of corruption; ethnic conflicts; and impediments to collective action. Formal models are largely avoided, except in two chapters where Bardhan briefly introduces new models to elucidate currently under-researched areas. Other chapters review existing models, emphasizing the essential ideas rather than the formal details. Thus the book will be valuable not only for economists but also for social scientists and policymakers.

Subtitles: On The Foreignness Of Filmby Atom Egoyan, Ian BalfourISBN 0262050781 (0-262-05078-1)
Hardcover, Mit Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Subtitles: On The Foreignness Of Film'Book summary:Unlike most books about film, this actually takes the shape of one. Its unusually squat, wide format shares the horizontal aspect ratio of most movies (1.66:1), and surveying the interplay of text and image on the pages of Subtitles is reminiscent of watching a subtitled film, which is appropriate given the subject. Edited by filmmaker Atom Egoyan and York University professor Ian Balfour, Subtitles is a provocative collection of essays, interviews, and artwork that all touch on the subject of how movies are translated (and misunderstood) as they travel between languages and cultures. As the editors write in the introduction, "Subtitles are only the most visible and charged markers of the way in which films engage, in direct and oblique fashion, pressing matters of difference, otherness and translation." Egoyan himself contributes two pieces. One culls together unused publicity stills from his movie The Sweet Hereafter that have been augmented by new subtitles written by the author of the original novel, Russell Banks. The other is an interview with fellow director Claire Denis: they discuss how a conversation in her film Vendredi Soir that was meant to be largely inaudible to French viewers was fully subtitled for the English audience, changing the nature of the scene entirely.
Throughout Subtitles, the notion that subtitles are neutral translations of what the characters are speaking gets tossed out the window. In "Cultural Ventriloquism," Henri Behar relates some of the dilemmas he's experienced translating films like Boyz 'N the Hood into French. Perplexed by Ice Cube's climactic line--"Five thousand"--Behar decided not to offer any translation. Months later, he learned that "five thousand" was short for "Audi 5000," as in "I'm outta here." (Behar added the subtitle: "Je me casse.") In two other essays, B. Ruby Rich and John Mowitt reveal how foreign films get designated as such by the American industry and Oscar voters. Moving beyond issues of language to issues of culture, Negar Mottahedeh's "Where Are Kiarostami's Women?" examines how the much-celebrated work of director Abbas Kiarostami is influenced by the officially mandated marginalization and absence of women in Iranian cinema, something most Western critics have failed to note.
Though Subtitles is rarely a breezy read--some pieces are so laden with academic jargon and Deleuze references, they nearly turn English into a foreign language--it contains many valuable insights about films and the cultural baggage they carry. Veteran subtitle-readers will find much to relish between these widescreen covers. --Jason Anderson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Technology and Market Structure: Theory and History'Book summary:Traditionally, the field of industrial organization has relied on two unrelated theoriesthe cross-section theory and the growth-of-firms theoryto explain cross-industry differences in concentration and within-industry skewness. The two approaches are based on very different mathematical structures and few researchers have attempted to relate them to each other.
In this book, John Sutton unifies the two approaches through a theory that rests on three simple principles. The first two, a "survivor principle" that says that firms will not pursue loss-making strategies, and an "arbitrage principle" that says that if a profitable opportunity is available, some firm will take it, suffice to define a set of possible outcomes. The third, the "symmetry principle," says that the strategy used by a new entrant into any submarket depends neither on the entrants identity nor on its history in other submarkets. This allows researchers to bring together the roles of strategic interactions and of independence effects. The result is that the considerations motivating the cross-section tradition and those motivating the growth-of-firms tradition both drop out within a single game-theoretic model.
This book follows Sutton's Sunk Costs and Market Structure, published by MIT Press in 1991. [via]More editions of Technology and Market Structure: Theory and History:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Wind of a Hundred Days: How Washington Mismanaged Globalization'Book summary:In The Wind of the Hundred Days, a new collection of public policy essays, Jagdish Bhagwati applies his characteristic wit and accessible style to the subject of globalization. Notably, he argues that the true Clinton scandal lay in the administration's mismanagement of globalization -- resulting in the paradox of immense domestic policy success combined with dramatic failure on the external front. Bhagwati assigns the bulk of the blame for the East Asian financial and economic crisis -- a disaster that prompts him to use as his title the poet Octavio Paz's image of devastation "I met the wind of the hundred days" -- to the administration's hasty push for financial liberalization in the region.The administration, Bhagwati claims, has also mishandled the freeing of trade. The administration-hosted WTO meeting in Seattle ended in chaos and the launch of a new round of multilateral trade negotiations was dashed. Bhagwati shows how the administration's failure to get Congress to renew fast-track authority can be attributed to an unimaginative response to the demands of a growing civil society. In several essays, he shows how free trade and social agendas both could have been pursued successfully if the concerns of human-rights, environmental, cultural, and labor activists had been met through creative programs at appropriate international agencies such as the International Labour Organization instead of the WTO and via trade treaties. Bhagwati also criticizes the claim that "globalization needs a human face," arguing that it already has one. He faults the administration for embracing unsubstantiated anti-globalization rhetoric that has made its own preferred option of pursuing globalization that much more difficult.
