This volume spotlights some of the most important economic issues
confronting today's emerging developing countries. The topics
studied in the book include the importance of productivity to
economic growth, international trade and its relationship to
productivity; immigration and brain drain; pollution havens,
climate change, and the carbon tax; the effectiveness of foreign
aid, the efficiency of education, and governance. Written by some
of the most respected scholars in their respective fields, the
individual chapters apply both economic theory and the most current
empirical tools in rigorous but accessible exposition. Researchers
can find value in the modeling and empirical techniques that can be
applied to other countries and datasets. Policy makers can benefit
from the intellectual foundation on which decisions on important
issues can be based; and students of international trade, economic
development, and environmental economics can gain knowledge of
different country settings that give context to their fields of
study.
This volume contains papers presented at the Sixth International
Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE 2014), which
was held in Hanoi, Vietnam, during 9-11 October, 2014. The
conference was organized by the University of Engineering and
Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Besides the main
track of contributed papers, this proceedings feature the results
of four special sessions focusing on specific topics of interest
and three invited keynote speeches. The book gathers a total of 51
carefully reviewed papers describing recent advances and
development on various topics including knowledge discovery and
data mining, natural language processing, expert systems,
intelligent decision making, computational biology, computational
modeling, optimization algorithms, and industrial applications.
This book discusses convex analysis, the basic underlying structure
of argumentation in economic theory. Convex analysis is also common
to the optimization of problems encountered in many applications.
The text is aimed at senior undergraduate students, graduate
students, and specialists of mathematical programming who are
undertaking research into applied mathematics and economics. The
text consists of a systematic development in eight chapters, and
contains exercises. The book is appropriate as a class text or for
self-study.
The primary aim of this book is to present notions of convex analysis which constitute the basic underlying structure of argumentation in economic theory and which are common to optimization problems encountered in many applications. The intended readers are graduate students, and specialists of mathematical programming whose research fields are applied mathematics and economics. The text consists of a systematic development in eight chapters, with guided exercises containing sometimes significant and useful additional results. The book is appropriate as a class text, or for self-study.

The problem of efficient or optimal allocation of resources is a
fundamental concern of economic analysis. The theory of optimal
economic growth can be viewed as an aspect of this central theme,
which emphasizes in general the issues arising in the allocation of
resources over an infinite time horizon, and in particular the
consumption-investment decision process in models in which there is
no natural "terminal date". This broad scope of "optimal growth
theory" is one which has evolved over time, as economists have
discovered new interpretations of its central results, as well as
new applications of its basic methods. The "Handbook on Optimal
Growth" provides surveys of significant results of the theory of
optimal growth, as well as the techniques of dynamic optimization
theory on which they are based. Armed with the results and methods
of this theory, a researcher will be in an advantageous position to
apply these versatile methods of analysis to new issues in the area
of dynamic economics.
