Summarizing the current state of knowledge on the links between
business and climate change, this timely Handbook analyzes how
businesses contribute to and are affected by climate change,
looking closely at their centrality in developing and deploying
solutions to address this problem. Contributions from a global
collection of scholars and practitioners explore a broad range of
key industries' impacts and responses to climate change, examining
corporate strategy and leadership in the climate economy,
functional perspectives and corporate practice, and climate
finance. Chapters use diverse case studies to analyze
climate-related business issues, including supply chain management,
decarbonization, consumer decision-making, and climate-related
financial investments. The Handbook delves deeper into how
businesses perceive the issue of climate change, how they are
affected by and engage with it, as well as the impact they have and
what this impact costs. Forward-thinking, it concludes with
reflections from the contributors on what the future holds for
businesses and climate change. Covering matters relating to
finance, economics, marketing, operations, strategy, leadership and
communications, this interdisciplinary Handbook will prove
invaluable to students and scholars in business management,
sustainability and environmental studies, as well as to
sustainability officers (and their staff) in corporations.
Addressing, as it does, a wide range of climate-related issues from
the corporate standpoint, it will also prove to be a useful
resource for policymakers concerned with enabling solutions to
climate change.
The book pays tribute to the celebrated economist Professor Suresh
Tendulkar's contribution and scholarship to economics,
economic-policy making, and economic reforms in India. Professor
Tendulkar served on numerous panels and commissions set up to
reform diverse aspects of India's economy. To name a few, he served
as the Chairperson of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory
Council, Chairman of the National Commission of Statistics,
National Sample Survey Organisation, Committee on National
Accounts, and as a member in the Fifth Pay Commission, the
Disinvestment Commission (1996). He is credited with devising the
new method to estimate poverty in India which resulted in India's
poverty estimates being scaled up. This book primarily focuses on
Professor Tendulkar's contributions on economic planning in India,
the political economy of economic reforms, and his important
conceptual and policy-relevant work on poverty measurement. The
three sub-themes of the book - Economic Reforms and Policy
Formulation, Poverty and Inequality, and Development and Trade -
are indicative of his specific research interests, namely poverty
and well-being, and India and the world economy. It covers both
micro and macro aspects relevant to the Indian economy. The
econometric techniques utilized encompass state-of-the-art
microeconometric as well as macroeconometric models. The book
contains contributions from eminent economists associated with
Professor Tendulkar, and is useful for readers from the
undergraduate through the Ph.D. level as well as researchers and
practitioners of economics.

This book introduces students to optimization theory and its use in economics and allied disciplines. The first of its three parts examines the existence of solutions to optimization problems in Rn, and how these solutions may be identified. The second part explores how solutions to optimization problems change with changes in the underlying parameters, and the last part provides an extensive description of the fundamental principles of finite- and infinite-horizon dynamic programming. A preliminary chapter and three appendices are designed to keep the book mathematically self-contained.
A First Course in Optimization Theory introduces students to
optimization theory and its use in economics and allied
disciplines. The first of its three parts examines the existence of
solutions to optimization problems in R(superscript n), and how
these solutions may be identified. The second part explores how
solutions to optimization problems change with changes in the
underlying parameters, and the last part provides an extensive
description of the fundamental principles of finite- and
infinite-horizon dynamic programming. Each chapter contains a
number of detailed examples explaining both the theory and its
applications for first-year master's and graduate students.
"Cookbook" procedures are accompanied by a discussion of when such
methods are guaranteed to be successful, and equally importantly,
when they could fail. Each result in the main body of the text is
also accompanied by a complete proof. A preliminary chapter and
three appendices are designed to keep the book mathematically
self-contained.
