Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -by Viktor A. Yushchenko, Prime Minister of Ukraine The intensification of the integration processes on our continent entirely coincides with the national interests of Ukraine, a country which is undoubtedly European both geographically and politically. What kind of Europe do we now have, and what should it be in the future What should the role of Ukrainian society be in the economic, social, and cultural integration of the countries on the European continent These questions are the subject of research and scientific analysis by the well-known economists whose work is contained in this book. Let there be no doubt, the strategic goal of Ukraine's foreign policy is the active participation of our country in the European integration process. Thus, the move toward co-operation and gradual integration with the European Union was defined as one of the main priorities of the Ukrainian Government's programme 'Reforms for Well-being', which is based on President Leonid Kuchma's speech 'Ukraine: Steps into XXI century' and was approved by the Ukrainian Parliament. This move is not a hasty response to a new trend, but rather a pragmatic decision since the EU will define the face of Europe for the next century. 328 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The current decade has stressed the reinforcement of three major trends affecting developed economies since at least half a century. The frrst trend concerns the im portance of innovations for fIrms, regions and nations. Even if innovation, however defmed, is not a recent phenomenon, the crucial role innovativeness plays in a world of increased competition reveals its importance as a major economic phe nomenon. A second prominent trend corresponds to the 'tertiarisation of the econ omy', i. e. the considerable and continuous expansion of the share of services in contemporary economies. 1 The third trend consists in the substantial changes af fecting the economical meaning of 'space'. Signs of these substantial changes can be found in the increased unity of 'space' (the globalisation phenomenon), in the appearance of new territories (as suggested by the emergence of a 'virtual conti nent'2) as well as in the reconsideration of existing ones (for instance, induced by new flexible production systems). As such, these three trends express a triple break down: a breakdown in the time scale of the economy (due to the increasing velocity of economic activities), a breakdown in the nature of the economy (since 'intangi ble production' is expanding) and a breakdown in the space(s) of the economy (be cause of shifting dimensions). Certain categories of activities or actors may high light and even symbolise this triple rupture in diverse ways. 198 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is dedicated to Horst Todt who celebrated his seventieth an niversaryon March 14, 2000. All the contributors know Horst Todt personally and (with the exception of two younger co-authors) have accompanied his scientific career for sev eral years, some as his assistants, some as his colleagues at the Frankfurt or Hamburg University, some as fellow members in scientific societies. All who know him acknowledge inspiring conversations on a broad field of issues often reaching far beyond the scope of economics. Being friendly and entertaining and without exaggerated personal ambition he often initiated work which others completed. In particular the two editors of this volume experienced and enjoyed the stimulating atmosphere at his Chair of Economics at the Hamburg University. We like to remember these scientifically and personally fruitful years under the tutorship of Horst Todt. The editors would like to thank the contributors to this volume for their readiness to cooperate and for the promptness of their delivery. 234 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book examines the relationship between inequality, growth and technological progress. It provides a broad overview of the existing literature and introduces specific, innovative aspects about the impact of inequality and redistribution on growth when growth is driven by human or physical capital investments, as well as the impact of technological progress and accumulation on the distribution of earnings.There is a special focus on the role of social comparison, redistributive taxation and new information technologies for the relationship between inequality and growth. The analytical part of the book mainly consists of endogenous growth models. 187 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the 1920's, Walter Shewhart visualized that the marriage of statistical methods and manufacturing processes would produce reliable and consistent quality products. Shewhart (1931) conceived the idea of statistical process control (SPC) and developed the well-known and appropriately named Shewhart control chart. However, from the 1930s to the 1990s, literature on SPC schemes have been 'captured' by the Shewhart paradigm of normality, independence and homogeneous variance. When in fact, the problems facing today's industries are more inconsistent than those faced by Shewhart in the 1930s. As a result of the advances in machine and sensor technology, process data can often be collected on-line. In this situation, the process observations that result from data collection activities will frequently not be serially independent, but autocorrelated. Autocorrelation has a significant impact on a control chart: the process may not exhibit a state of statistical control when in fact, it is in control. As the prevalence of this type of data is expected to increase in industry (Hahn 1989), so does the need to control and monitor it. Equivalently, literature has reflected this trend, and research in the area of SPC with autocorrelated data continues so that effective methods of handling correlated data are available. This type of data regularly occurs in the chemical and process industries, and is pervasive in computer-integrated manufacturing environments, clinical laboratory settings and in the majority of SPC applications across various manufacturing and service industries (Alwan 1991). 375 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Das anhaltende Interesse an der Theorie monetärer Integration ist einerseits dem europäischen Einigungsprozeß zu verdanken, andererseits der Instabilität des Weltwährungssystems seit dem Zusammenbruch der Bretton-Woods-Vereinbarung. Die vorherrschende Theorie des optimalen Währungsraumes hat sich jedoch angesichts neuerer Entwicklungen in der Theorie der Wirtschaftspolitik sowie in der Theorie des Wechselkurses als zu eng und methodisch fragwürdig erwiesen. Das Buch gibt einen umfassenden, auch für Angehörige anderer sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen gut lesbaren Überblick über den Stand der Forschung zur monetären Integration im allgemeinen und zur europäischen Währungsintegration im besonderen. Es gibt darüber hinaus Anregungen für weiterführende Untersuchungen, z.B. zur Rolle der Arbeitsmarktverfassungen oder der Fiskal- und der Sozialpolitik.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 376 pp. Deutsch.…
