The subject matter of agricultural economics has both broadened and deepened in recent years, and the chapters of this Handbook present the most exciting and innovative work being done today. Following Volume 1, Volume 2 consists of three parts: 'Agriculture, Natural Resources and the Environment', 'Agriculture in the Macroeconomy' and 'Agriculture and Food Policy'. Although agricultural economists have always paid attention to these topics, research devoted to them has increased substantially in scope as well as depth in recent years.
This first volume of the "Handbook of Agricultural Economics" presents work on topics central to the economics of agriculture: the quantitative representation of technology; market expectations; household production behaviour; consumer behaviour with uncertain quality and safety of goods; and issues of imperfect competition in food marketing. Volume IB deals with the economics of agricultural products after they leave the farm. Seven chapters explain recent developments in application of dual approaches in household economies, the industrial organization of food marketing, marketing margins between farm and retail prices, spatial price analysis, commodity storage and price stabilization, commodity futures and options markets, and the economics of food safety. Volumes IA and IB each follow their specialized chapters with a synthesis chapter that brings together and assesses the main themes and issues of the field, and volume IB concludes with an overall synthesis of the state of and prospects for agricultural economics as applied economic science.
This text aims to provide a survey of the state of knowledge in the broad area that includes the theories and facts of economic growth and economic fluctuations, as well as the consequences of of monetary and fiscal policies for general economic conditions.
This third volume of the "Handbook of Development Economics"
employs rigorous theoretical and empirical frameworks. It focuses
on policy and includes material from unpublished and not generally
available sources. In As in the previous volumes of the series, the chapters in this
Handbook provide self-contained surveys summarizing not only
received knowledge but also recent developments. Each chapter is
also a definitive source, reference and teaching supplement for use
by researchers and advanced graduate students.
Hardbound. The Handbook is a definitive reference source and teaching aid for econometricians. It examines models, estimation theory, data analysis and field applications in econometrics.

The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field. Volume I deals with Mathematical Methods in Economics, including reviews of the concepts and techniques that have been most useful for the mathematical development of economic theory. Volume II elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy.
The three volumes comprising the "Handbook of Natural Resource and
Energy Economics" examine the current theory, and sample current
application methods for natural resource and energy economics.
Volumes 1 & 2 deal with the economics of environmental and
renewable resources, and are divided into six parts. The first
deals with basic concepts, and subsequent sections are concerned
with ethics and environmental topics. Volume 3 deals primarily with
non-renewable resources. It analyzes the economics of energy and
minerals and includes chapters on the economics of environmental
policy. For more information on the Handbooks in Economics series,

What new theories, evidence, andpolicies have shaped health economicsin the 21st century? Editors Mark Pauly, Thomas McGuire, and Pedro Pita Barros
assemblethe expertise of leading authoritiesin this survey
ofsubstantive issues. In 16chapters theycover recent developments
in health economics, from medical spending growth to the demand for
health care, the markets for pharmaceutical products, the medical
workforce, and equity in health and health care.Its global
perspective, including an emphasis on low and middle-income
countries, will result in the same high citations that made Volume
1 (2000) a foundational text.
What tools are available for setting and analyzing monetary policy? World-renowned contributors examine recent evidence on subjects
as varied as price-setting, inflation persistence, the private
sector's formation of inflation expectations, and the monetary
policy transmission mechanism. Stopping short of advocating
conclusions about the ideal conduct of policy, the authors focus
instead on analytical methods and the changing interactions among
the ingredients and properties that inform monetary models. The
influences between economic performance and monetary policy regimes
can be both grand and muted, and this volume clarifies the present
state of this continually evolving relationship.
What factors affect the ways individuals participate in labor markets? "New Developments and Research on Labor Markets" (volume 4B) proposes answers to this and other questions on important topics of public policy. Leading labor economists demonstrate how better data and advanced experiments help them apply economic theory, yielding sharper analyses and conclusions. The combinations of these improved empirical findings with new models enable the authors of these chapters to reveal how labor economists are developing new and innovative ways to measure key parameters and test important hypotheses. Concentrates on empirical research in specific labor markets,
including those defined by age, gender, and race
How do economists understand and measure normal social phenomena? Identifying economic strains in activities such as learning,
group formation, discrimination, and peer dynamics requires
sophisticated data and tools as well as a grasp of prior
scholarship. In this volume leading economists provide an
authoritative summary of social choice economics, from norms and
conventions to the exchange of discrete resources. Including both
theoretical and empirical perspectives, their work provides the
basis for models that can offer new insights in applied economic
analyses.
How does technology advance? How can we best assimilate innovation? These questions and others are considered by experts on the theories and applications of technological innovations. Considering subjects as diverse as the diffusion of new technologies and their industrial applications, governmental policies, and manifestations of innovation in our institutions, history, and environment, our contributors map milestones in research and speculate about the roads ahead. Wasteful, inefficient, and frequently wrongheaded, the process of technological changes is here revealed as a describable, scientific force. - Two volumes, available separately and as a set Expert articles consider the best ways to establish optimal incentives in technological progress. Science and innovation, both their theories and applications, are examined at the intersections of the marketplace, policy, and social welfare. Economists are only part of an audience that includes attorneys, educators, and anyone involved in new technologies."
Advances in agriculture offer many countries the best and only chance of reducing poverty. Yet economic growth and population increases are driving higher demand for food and rising real prices. What solutions have successfully promoted agriculture? This volume examines national and international food agriculture policies and how they enhance agricultural productivity growth. It provides unique historical reviews on policies and their effects, and it clearly articulates both positive and negative lessons for promoting agriculture lead growth. With chapters written by international authorities, this book recognizes that agriculture is not just about providing food for today, but about growing it in an environmentally sustainable way that can help people work their ways out of poverty.Chapters cover international macro-economic policies and trade, farm structure in developing countries, regional experiences in agriculture, and regional studies on agricultural productivity policies.
The field of development economics has evolved since volume 3 of
the Handbook of Development Economics was published more than a
decade ago. Volume 4 takes stock of some of the newer trends and
their implications for research in the field and our understanding
of economic development.
As conceived by the founders of the Econometric Society,
econometrics is a field that uses economic theory and statistical
methods to address empirical problems in economics. It is a tool
for empirical discovery and policy analysis. The chapters in this
volume embody this vision and either implement it directly or
provide the tools for doing so. This vision is not shared by those
who view econometrics as a branch of statistics rather than as a
distinct field of knowledge that designs methods of inference from
data based on models of human choice behavior and social
interactions. All of the essays in this volume and its companion
volume 6B offer guidance to the practitioner on how to apply the
methods they discuss to interpret economic data. The authors of the
chapters are all leading scholars in the fields they survey and
extend.
The Handbooks in Economics series continues to provide the various
branches of economics with handbooks which are definitive reference
sources, suitable for use by professional researchers, advanced
graduate students, or by those seeking a teaching supplement.
The "Handbook on the Economics of Giving, Reciprocity and Altruism"
provides a comprehensive set of reviews of literature on the
economics of nonmarket voluntary transfers. The foundations of the
field are reviewed first, with a sequence of chapters that present
the hard core of the theoretical and empirical analyses of giving,
reciprocity and altruism in economics, examining their relations
with the viewpoints of moral philosophy, psychology, sociobiology,
sociology and economic anthropology. Secondly, a comprehensive set
of applications are considered of all the aspects of society where
nonmarket voluntary transfers are significant: family and
intergenerational transfers; charity and charitable institutions;
the nonprofit economy; interpersonal relations in the workplace;
the Welfare State; and international aid.

The new Handbook of Regional and Urban Economics: Cities and Geography reviews, synthesizes and extends the key developments in urban and regional economics and their strong connection to other recent developments in modern economics. Of particular interest is the development of the new economic geography and its incorporation along with innovations in industrial organization, endogenous growth, network theory and applied econometrics into urban and regional economics.
Volume 1A covers corporate finance: how businesses allocate capital - the capital budgeting decision - and how they obtain capital - the financing decision. Though managers play no independent role in the work of "Miller" and "Modigliani," major contributions in finance since then have shown that managers maximize their own objectives. To understand the firm's decisions, it is therefore necessary to understand the forces that lead managers to maximize the wealth of shareholders. |
