Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Some economist have predicted that the slower growing economics will eventually converge with the faster growing economy at some point in the future. This is known as the convergence hypothesis. In this book, we test this hypothesis for Ghana and the Western Europeans countries with UK been a proxy, using time series data to determine whether or not it holds. We determine how fast or slow this convergence process is by using the returns to scale concept on Ghana's economy and latter account for factor that determines economic growth in sectors. The book supported the null hypothesis of convergence i.e. Ghana is catching up with the Western European. The book also shown that Ghana growth accounting exhibit decreasing returns meaning convergence is relatively slow and also signifies that Ghana is not on a balanced growth path. The book showed a negative relationship between GDP and labour both in the long run and short run relationship. Again the book showed a positive relationship between GDP and capital, Agric and Industrial sector. Lastly, the study showed a negative relationship between GDP and AID and Service in the long run.…

This analysis help in showing that developing countries has the needed resources and the market for manufacturing firms to thrive. Hence, the need for efficient FDI into these regions. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Pakistan trade suffers from persistent trade deficits. It had a favourable balance of trade only twice;once in 1950-51 because of the increase in prices of primary commodities like cotton and other raw materials as a result of the Korean War boom; the second time was after the devaluation of the rupee and the oil crisis in 1972-73. After that the trade deficits of Pakistan's economy have been gradually and steadily increasing. So, can the depreciation of the Pak rupee improve this phenomenon This present study implies the error correction model to estimate the short run equilibrium and heterogeneous panel cointegration method to examine the long run relationship between the real exchange rate and the bilateral trade balance of Pakistan and her selected 4 major trading partners (USA,UK,China and Germany) for the period 1980-2008. Using annual data, the empirical results indicate the devaluation of the Pakistan rupee deteriorates her bilateral trade balance with China but improves it with USA, UK and Germany.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study examined responses of Central Bank of Ethiopia to macroeconomic shocks. Macroeconomic shocks in Ethiopia (until 2005) mainly came from non-monetary phenomena of recurrent drought, erratic rainfall, and political stability. To tackle the shocks derived from monetary and non-monetary aggregates, the Bank has been implementing a combination of both accommodating and stabilization monetary policies.The Coefficients of equilibrating error terms in the model suggest that the speed of adjustment/ feedback effect towards long run equilibrium takes many years for full adjustment when there is a single shock in the system, indicating the existence of longer lags structure and undeveloped financial sectors that hindered the effectiveness of monetary policy. The sterilization coefficient revealed incomplete sterilization activities while the offset coefficient tells us a highest degree of monetary control with low degree of capital mobility. Besides, the nonexistence of a well-developed secondary market, lack of latitude to engage in discretionary activities, and the non-monetized part of the economy put a daunting challenge to monetary policy. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book presents a theoretical model which tries to explain causes of business cycles uctuations and which has its roots in the Post-Keynesian stream of economic thought. According to this model, investment shocks together with endogeneity of money causes business cycles uctuations. This model is compared with existing New Keynesian models which assert that causes of business cycles uctuations are monetary policy shocks together with various nominal and real rigidities. Author uses econometric techniques(impulse-response functions and forecast error variance decomposition) to investigate which phenomenon contributes more to business cycles uctuations. Unfortunately, results do not enable to draw a straightforward conclusion. It seems that both phenomena play a certain role. 92 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is an important topic and very relevant for Pakistan's ongoing undeclared war. The work is grounded in the mainstream literature on international law and it elaborates different perspectives on international law. The historical development of the concept of preemptive self-defence under international law that is traced leaves no doubt that prevailing interpretations are in fact political interpretations of our existing legal framework justified by reliance on socially constructed natural law. This descriptive work exposes gaps in current international law that needs to be addressed for realities of our complex twenty- first century. Without such updating international law will continue to be a tool in the hands of the dominant and will not promote ethical and just practices, it intends to uphold.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Migration and adult mortality, usually related to HIV and AIDS have been on the spotlight for some time in the media, academia and at various development-related conferences. There is a general consensus that HIV is wrecking havoc particularly in developing countries in Africa. However, debate is still raging on the real contribution of migration in the development process. The present study approaches these issues from a demographic perspective. In particular, the study aimed to investigate the impact of migration and adult mortality on household labour supply among rural households in Chiweshe communal lands, Zimbabwe. The study comes to a conclusion that the impacts of migration and mortality are difficult to separate from the general economic and political context in which the demographic processes take place. 104 pp. Englisch.…

This was an important step in implementing China's fundamental policy of opening itself to the outside world, and has created excellent conditions for its further participation in international trade and economic globalization. But in recent years, a new trend has appeared in world trade: some developed countries have created a barrier to others entering their home markets for new trade by imposing a higher environmental quality standard than that of developing countries. They utilize a high environmental standard as an entry condition, in order to restrict imports, with the result that the traditional trade barrier has now been supplemented by a new environmental barrier - a 'green trade barrier'. Concerning the above issues, firstly, this book presents the background in which green trade barriers appeared in international trade, and then we analyze their basic characteristics and multi-faceted influences on China's export trade. After all the analysis, we suggest some potential countermeasures on both the micro and the macro levels to overcome green trade barrier 100 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Commercial agriculture and/or market orientation is seen as a key element in achieving growth and poverty reduction in Ethiopia and largely sub-Saharan Africa. Subsistence production merely for home consumption and surplus for the market is chosen by most small-scale farmers because it is subjectively the best option, given all constraints. However, it is one of the inefficient misallocations of human and natural resources. Population pressure and natural resource constraints have made the practice in question mark and it is becoming less and less viable. It is argued that the same households could obtain much higher returns from growing and selling alternative crops through market orientation, rather than producing their own food, which is mainly claimed to be done quite inefficiently. The input and output market in Ethiopia is characterized by inefficiency and hence needs for an intervention from the public. Market development is agreed to be the policy option to enhance the market orientation and income of households. This book will evaluate the market development interventions implemented in Ethiopia. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The notion that intangible assets significantly adds firm value has reached both researchers and managers over the last decade. Nakamura(1999), estimates the capitalized value of them to be in excess of $6 trillion. Intangible assets are suggested to positively influence shareholder value by increasing cash flows and lowering the volatility of a firm's cash flows (Srivastava, Shervani & Fahey, 1998). Proponents of the use of such intangible assets suggest they are critical to firm value (Aaker & Jacobson 2001; Srivastava, Shervani & Fahey 1998). The measurement of intangible assets is however challenging and often subject to discussion. One of these intangible assets that has attracted the attention of researchers is customer satisfaction. However there seems to be mixed evidence of customer satisfaction leading to enhanced financial performance. This study examines the effect of customer satisfaction on a firm's cost of equity capital. More precisely this paper aims to examine the effect of customer satisfaction on the rate of return that the market implicitly uses to discount the expected future cash flows of the firm. 92 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Strategies employed by textile and clothing firms in transforming economies can help these firms to turnaround their fortunes. Trade liberalization instituted by the government has negatively affected the industry. This ushered in an influx of cheap Chinese goods, and smuggling of second hand goods into the country creating intense competition. The indigenization policy was also another limiting factor to investment as foreign investors are scared of investing in the country. Production runs are affected by the persistent power black outs. The government should play a leading role in coming up with a policy that encourages investment. There must be funding to the initiatives of textile and clothing sector, and that government should come up with restrictions to the influx of Chinese goods. The textile and clothing sector should produce items of varying qualities to match the Chinese products on price. The government and the textiles industry should come up with an output based pay structure so as to encourage production and also to cut down on the huge wage bill the industry has incurred due to low production runs. 116 pp. Englisch.…

In this work we focus on a large scale randomized field experiment described in Karlan & List(2007)that studies one of these campaigns in more detail. Using direct mail solicitations to more than 50000 prior donors of a large U.S. non-profit organization, they examine the effects of matching grants on behaviour. They describe the effects of matching grants in general, for the whole population, and find that matching grant size has no impact on behaviour. We use a different approach, dividing the population into subgroups by income and education and then measuring the effects of matching grant size on donating behaviour in these subgroups. We find significant heterogenity in the effects of grant size on behaviour. Also we try to apply the theory of social identity when interpreting the effects of matching grants. This paper should be especially useful to those considering running a fund-raising campaign as it examines one of the possible methods of soliciting money. 56 pp. Englisch.…

This paper explores the implications for the children of non-citizens of the limitations that have developed in international law on States' sovereignty in the area of citizenship. It concludes that, although States still retain the right to determine how their citizenship is transmitted, certain international human rights law treaties and recent jurisprudence limit States' discretion in this area, prohibiting direct and indirect discrimination and prohibiting the creation of statelessness. 96 pp. Englisch.…
