Corporate Governance in the US and Europe provides a comprehensive and concise overview of the most recent developments in corporate governance. It is based on a recent joint conference arranged by New York University and the London School of Economics, which brought together eminent academics and practitioners, including Michael Jensen in Finance and Martin Lipton in Law, to discuss the stock market boom-and-bust, and the recent corporate scandals. The book is aimed at practitioners, policy makers and academics who have to deal with corporate governance.

This exceptional collection of twenty-two essays on the philosophical fundamentals of tort law assembles many of the world's leading commentators on this particualrly fascinating conjunction of law and philosophy. The contributions range broadly, from inquiries into how tort law derives from Aristotle, Aquinas, and Kant to the latest rights-based and economic theories of legal reponsibility.

This collection of original essays on the theory of tort law brings together a number of the world's leading legal philosophers and tort scholars to examine the vital conjunctions of tort law and philosophy. This is a truly Anglo-American production, with five essays from the leading Oxford scholars and a dozen of the top American, Canadian and Israeli writers.

Do migrants lead to an increase of crime rates in their host societies? This highly contentious issue has become a mainstay in the political debate and a lightning rod for the galvanization of populist movements, despite often lacking any empirical support. In this game-changing book, the authors examine what the existing data actually says, and provide their own novel evidence on the immigration-crime connection. Taking the unusual approach of analysing the subject from an economic perspective, the authors build on the pioneering work of Nobel Prize winner Gary Becker to construct their innovative arguments. By considering evidence from different countries, with a focus on establishing causal relationships, the authors are able to analyse not only if migrants do cause crime but also whether migration policies can play a role in shaping incentives for migrants to engage in crime. This book will appeal to students and academics across the social sciences, as well as citizens interested in this topical issue.

In den letzten Jahren entstand ein erheblicher Bedarf an Lehrbuchern, die die Theorie der Zwei-und n-Personenspiel aus mathematischer Sicht VOllstandig behandeln. Ich hoffe, dass das vorliegende Buch diese Lucke schliessen wird. Die Theorie der Zwei-Personenspiele wird in den Kapiteln I bis V behandelt, die gewis- sermassen den ersten Teil des Buches bilden. Die letzten funf Kapitel behandeln die n-Personenspiele und koennen zum zweiten Teil zusammengafasst werden. Beide Teile sind voneinander unabhangig und stellen etwa je eine einsemestrige Vorlesung dar. Es koennen aber auch die Kapitel I, II, VIII, IX zu einem mehr theoretisch orientierten Elementarkurs zusammengefasst werden. UEberdies ist es moeglich, einzelne Kapitel weitgehend beliebig fur eine Lehrveranstaltung auszuwahlen, ohne dass dabei zu sehr auf die restlichen eingegangen werden muss. Schliesslich sei bemerkt, dass die meisten der bisher bekannten Lehrbucher die Teile der Spieltheorie behandeln, die in den Kapiteln II, III, VIII und IX zu finden sind. Ich habe versucht, die vorliegende Theorie mit mathematischer Strenge abzuhandeln. Gleichzeitig aber wurde - besonders in der zweiten Halfte des Buches -der mathe- matische Aufbau der Theorie durch heuristische Betrachtungen erlautert. Schliesslich ist die Spieltheorie die mathematische Beschreibung bestimmter soziologischer Pha- nomene; und es ware daher in der Tat zu durftig, die mathematische Darstellung ohne die zugehoerigen sozialen Bezuge zu bringen.
