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.…

Mr Gorringe's book takes issue with this approach by looking at the wider cultural and filmic context of Ran, in particular its status as a Japanese samurai film, in order to make a judgment about how much the film has actually been influenced by Shakespeare's play. 112 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Farmer-owned cooperatives not only serve as a means of providing services and information to producers, but they can provide a mechanism for returning the earnings from marketing activities to producers and farm economies. Given the importance of member participation and member-management relations for the success of a cooperative, a survey was conducted in different four fruit and vegetable cooperatives of Chitwan during January-February, 2009 to assess how members perceive farmer-owned cooperatives in terms of the need for, role, and performance of a cooperative.

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 -In a modern democracy, the act of legislation is of the utmost value because the law is the supreme authority. Principally, the primary authority for legislation in a democracy lies in the hands of the parliament. But the political power concentrated in the hands of the parties and the executive authority. This book contributes to the perception of the individual legislator as political initiator of legislation in modern parliamentarianism, and not only as a 'team player' of his party. The important innovation of the book is that it examines the act of legislation not only as a judicial or procedural process, but as a process of political negotiation. This point of view gives a new perspective to the strategies and tactics in legislation process. The last chapter deals with the interactions of rhetoric, gender and politics. The research was conducted in the Israeli Parliament (Knesset), but the findings have universal applicability: Many of the phenomena and strategies discussed are familiar in most parliaments. 120 pp. Englisch.…

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.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this empirical study it was hypothesized that visible diversity and education level (diversity) are positively related to cognitive diversity and critical reflective work behaviour. But that in order to harvest the benefits of diversity, beliefs of valuing diversity are needed. Gender diversity and the average level of education within a team are found to increase the level of cognitive diversity. Analyses further revealed significant effects of task complexity and sector influences regarding critical reflective work behaviour. However, cognitive diversity did not resulted in more critical reflective work behaviour within teams. Therefore the moderating role of diversity beliefs could not be examined. The promise of diversity could not be demonstrated and more research is needed to provide more insight in the reality of diversity. Future recommendations are made and practical implications for organisations are given. 88 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.…
