The EU has experienced serious economic and political crises such
as the sovereign debt crisis and Brexit in the past few years.
However, despite these issues, the EU has implemented considerable
institutional, fiscal, and collective improvements during the
unification process to continue as a significant actor in the
global economy. The Handbook of Research on Social and Economic
Development in the European Union provides a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the institutional, economic, and social development
of the European Union and makes inferences for the future dynamics
and collaborations of the EU, the global economy, and other
countries. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as
energy security, gender discrimination, and global economics, this
book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers,
world leaders, politicians, diplomats, international relations
officers, economists, business professionals, historians, market
analysts, academicians, researchers, and students concerned about
the multifaceted integration processes surrounding the EU.
Drawing upon current cutting-edge theories, knowledge and research
findings, this Handbook provides an analysis of the interaction
between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), entrepreneurs
and financial institutions globally. The contributors consider
regional and international perspectives within and between Europe,
North America, New Zealand, the Middle East, as well as South,
Central and East Asia on a chapter-by-chapter basis. In so doing,
they provide a contextualized, up-to-date snapshot of research into
entrepreneurial finance across the world. This book is aimed at
both established and emergent researchers, as well as undergraduate
and postgraduate students looking for avenues of future research
into entrepreneurial finance. It will also be of use to
policymakers and practitioners seeking a global perspective in
their work. Contributors: M. Akoorie, H. Al-Dajani, R. Baldock, Z.

Climate change is a major problem, generating both risks and
opportunities that will have a direct impact on the economy and the
financial sector. In recent years, climate change has threatened
both the survival of the financial system and economic development.
The growing occurrence of extreme climate events combined with the
imprudent nature of economic growth can cause unsustainable levels
of harm to the financial sectors. On the other hand, it presents a
range of new business challenges. In contrast to the most evident
physical risks, companies are vulnerable to transformational risks
that arise from the reaction of society to climate change, such as
technological change, regulation and markets that can boost the
cost of doing business, threats to the profitability of existing
goods, or effects on the value of the asset. Climate change also
offers new business opportunities, and it has made research in the
context of a sustainable financial sector indispensable. The
Handbook of Research on Climate Change and the Sustainable
Financial Sector focuses on the impacts of climate change on
various sectors of the world economy. This book covers how
businesses can improve their sustainability, the impact of climate
change on the financial sector, and specifically, the impacts on
financial services, supply chains, and the socio-economic status of
the world. Beyond focusing on the impacts to the financial industry
itself, this book assesses how climate change in the financial
sector affects the well-being of society in areas such as
unemployment, economic recessions, decreases in consumer purchases,
and more. This book is essential for stockbrokers, business
managers, directors, fund managers, financial analysts, consultants
and actuaries, institutional investors, policymakers,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in a comprehensive view of the impact of climate change on the
financial sector.
Taxation is becoming more and more relevant for firms and managers
decisions, mainly due to the impacts of taxation on firms and
projects performance, profitability and value. This book provides
an introductory overview of taxation in the fields of finance and
accounting. It covers several fundamental topics of taxation, such
as income, corporate and value add tax, and tax planning and
management, international taxation, EU tax harmonization and
transfer prices. This book intends to provide the readers with an
understanding of the main concepts and principles of these topics,
regardless of specific country contexts in law. With this book,
readers will be able to understand the fundamentals of taxation at
a conceptual and practical level. By using theory and practical
examples, readers will understand taxation at a broader level,
without being concerned about country-specific issues.
This book is an essential introduction to the world of financing
and investment decision making. With a strong real world focus,
this text aims to help you bridge the gap between the theories
surrounding financial decision making and what happens in the real
business world in an accessible, user-friendly way. Alongside the
book, you can visit the Business Finance companion website at
www.pearsoned.co.uk/mclaney to access a comprehensive range of
student-learning resources, including additional questions, web
links for further reading and a glossary of key terms.
Handbook of Green Economics reveals the breadth and depth of
advanced research on sustainability and growth, also identifying
opportunities for future developments. Through its multidimensional
examination, it demonstrates how overarching concepts, such as
green growth, low carbon economy, circular economy and others work
together. Some chapters reflect on different discourses on the
green economy, including pro-growth perspectives and transformative
approaches that entail de-growth. Others argue that green policies
can spark economic innovation, particularly in developing and
emerging market economies. Part literature summary, part analysis
and part argument, this book shows how the right conditions can
stimulate economic growth while achieving environmental
sustainability. This book will be a valuable resource for graduate
students and academic researchers whose focus is on the green
economy. With an increasing interest in the topic among researchers
and policymakers, users will find different theoretical
perspectives and explore policy implications in this growing
subject area.
'Already an accomplished scholar Shen Wei offers a masterly study
of the Chinese shadow banking sector in context. The book
constitutes a thorough analysis of the nature of the Chinese shadow
banking sector and of the political events, economic rationales and
institutions that have shaped it. Beyond offering expert legal
analysis this book is also very rich on information and research
about the institutional and economic necessities that have shaped
the Chinese financial system in its present form and gave rise to a
mighty shadow banking sector. The book is very well organized and
competently drafted, thus, it is easily accessible to both the
expert and non-expert reader. I have no doubt that this is bound to
become the standard reference work for everybody wishing to study
the nature of the Chinese shadow banking sector and of the
institutions underpinning it in context.' - Emilios Avgouleas,
University of Edinburgh, UK 'Shadow Banking in China: Risk,
Regulation and Policy by Professor Shen Wei is a timely book,
presenting readers with a comprehensive and coherent
conceptualization of shadow banking in China. It systematically
defines shadow banking, describes how the different types of shadow
banking subsectors -- including wealth management products,
peer-to-peer lending, local government financing vehicles, and
underground lending -- are growing, and examines how Chinese
regulators are responding. It also explains the risk-taking,
economics, and behavioral aspects of each of these subsectors,
revealing the endogenous market forces driving their expansion and
describing how shadow banking is innovatively helping to channel
funding to the cash-starved private sector and real economy.' -
from the Foreword by Steven L. Schwarcz, Duke University, School of
Law In light of the current regulatory regime in China's banking
sector, this book investigates the causes, key forms, potential
risks and regulation of shadow banking in China. The first
China-specific book of its kind, the author takes policy
considerations into account whilst providing an analysis of the
regulatory instruments tackling the systematic risks in its banking
as well as shadow banking sectors. Key shadow banking subsectors
discussed include P2P lending, wealth management products, local
government debts, and the underground lending market. This book
will be of interest to students and scholars in the legal field, as
well as those from other disciplines including social science,
business, and finance. It will also be of use to lawyers,
policymakers and regulators looking for practical solutions in
tackling the issues facing a rising shadow banking sector today.
This Handbook provides a comprehensive study of research, practice
and policy at the nexus of accounting and sustainability, or
sustainable development. Internationally renowned accounting
academics in the field offer critical discussions of the topic to
stimulate debate as the future policy infrastructure is formed.
Chapters explain key drivers of developments at the nexus, critique
those developments, summarise the findings of research on key
themes in the field, and suggest areas for further research,
offering evidence-based practice and policy solutions. The Handbook
sets the scene by exploring accounting, power, social justice and
unsustainability, before moving on to appraise the role of
enterprise value-based integrated reporting in (un)sustainable
development. It further analyses contemporary issues in the field,
including climate change-related disclosures, accounting for
greenhouse gases and emissions trading schemes. The thorough
coverage of key issues in accounting and sustainability, and the
analysis of research literature in the Handbook will make this a
critical read for accounting and business researchers and students.
It is an invigorating guide for policymakers and policy
influencers, accounting professionals and business leaders looking
to move forward in a more sustainable way.
