'It is written in clear English, without equations, and with plenty
of charts to ground oneaEURO (TM)s understanding in the real world
... The authors make a compelling case that economists need to take
their simplifying assumptions more seriously, to embrace
statistical techniques that can track dynamic markets with
time-varying parameters, and to always be aware of the importance
of shifts in the underlying context.'Global Commodities Applied
Research DigestEconomics Gone Astray is a collection of essays on
critical topics in macroeconomics that frame the issues in terms of
clearly stated assumptions, highlighting the errors often made by
professional economists, and allowing readers to better analyze
market behavior and the economic consequences of policy
decisions.The book differs from textbook economics, as it tackles
sophisticated topics without using mathematics or technical jargon.
This makes the book highly accessible to all types of readers, from
investors and investment professionals, to professors and their
students.The book's style integrates a large quantity of clearly
drawn charts which help anchor the readers' perceptions of the
topics being examined, from inflation to taxes, to demographics.
Following an initiative of the late Hans Zassenhaus in 1965, the
Departments of Mathematics at The Ohio State University and Denison
University organize conferences in combinatorics, group theory, and
ring theory. Between May 18-21, 2000, the 25th conference of this
series was held. Usually, there are twenty to thirty invited
20-minute talks in each of the three main areas. However, at the
2000 meeting, the combinatorics part of the conference was
extended, to honor the 65th birthday of Professor Dijen
Ray-Chaudhuri. This volulme is the proceedings of this extension.
Most of the papers are in coding theory and design theory,
reflecting the major interest of Professor Ray-Chaudhuri, but there
are articles on association schemes, algebraic graph theory,
combinatorial geometry, and network flows as well. There are four
surveys and seventeen research articles, and all of these went
through a thorough refereeing process. The volume is primarily
recommended for researchers and graduate students interested in new
developments in coding theory and design theory.
Thisseries is devoted to the publication of monographs, lecture
resp. seminar notes, and other materials arising from programs of
the OSU Mathemaical Research Institute. This includes proceedings
of conferences or workshops held at the Institute, and other
mathematical writings.
