This volume gathers some of the finest and most recent research in economic and political design. Among the authors are several most prominent academics as well as many new and promising researchers. They investigate social choice and electoral systems, auctions, matching, bargaining, coalitional stability and efficiency, regulation, the design of rights, mechanisms, games, hierarchies and information. The book is bound to become a standard reference as a collection displaying where we are and where we are going in a broad spectrum of areas in economic design.
Huge economic losses from natural disasters, including nearly 100
000 fatalities world wide in 1999 alone, gave rise to a renewed
recognition by government, industry and the public that national
governments and international agencies cannot simply go on as they
have in the past. Changes in financial cover, better enforcement
procedures for building standards, better business contingency
planning, and well developed emergency response were demanded from
all sides. In this volume an international group of experts present
recent research on the variety of approaches adopted by different
countries to assess natural hazard risks and the incentives for
mitigating and financing them, the particular focus being in
earthquake risks. The volume also presents an in-depth summary of
recent reforms in Turkey related to seismic risks, with comparative
research from many other countries. Linkages are emphasised between
science and engineering infrastructure, insurance and risk
management, and public policy.
