Current research often highlights the importance of financial
markets as well as financial system development. However, the
current literature in this field still fails to adequately explain
the relationship between financial market and macroeconomic
development. Post-Keynesian Empirical Research and the Debate on
Financial Market Development integrates the concept of financial
intermediaries with Post-Keynesian macroeconomic modeling to
discuss the relationship between financial markets and systems and
macroeconomic development. Discussing key macroeconomic variables
such as investment, savings, and productivity growth, this timely
resource is essential for students, academicians, as well as
finance and economics professionals interested in uncovering the
latest research in this field.
The tropics is an area of enormous opportunity and potential. The
countries situated between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are
largely developing in nature. There is huge interest in the types
of business investments made in Southeast Asia, Central Africa, and
the Amazonian tropical belts. These tropical regions continue to
face opportunities and challenges in attracting foreign direct
investments as well as the need to complement and/or compete with
larger economies external to the tropics. This book provides an
empirical assessment of the key sociocultural, economic,
environmental, and political factors that influence the business
dynamics of organizations operating within the tropics. It will
address but is not limited to topics such as attracting businesses
to the tropics, facilitating smooth, stable conditions for business
operations and sustainability, national institutions, and
regulations that shape the way business is done, and the increasing
deployment of new technologies and entrepreneurial innovations
which are defining the global tropics as a distinct business
region. It will offer readers a key focus for developing a deeper
understanding of the factors and frameworks that influence and
shape business activity in the area. While the primary audience for
the book consists of academics and students from the fields of
economics (environmental economics, developmental economics),
business, international trade, tourism, and area studies, it will
also provide a practical resource for government policy analysts
wanting to fully appreciate some of the key economic and business
issues facing the region.
This edited volume presents the conference papers from the 1st
International Conference on Business, Economics, Management, and
Sustainability (BEMAS), organized by the Centre for International
Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University. This
book argues that the orthodox methods of external risks, climate
change adaptation plans, and sustainable economic growth in cities
are no longer adequate. These methods, so far, have not only
ignored the ongoing structural changes associated with economic
development but also failed to account for evolving industries'
composition and the emergence of new comparative advantages and
skills. Specifically, this book looks at the vulnerable communities
and exposed areas, particularly in urban areas, that tend to
experience higher susceptibility to external risks (such as climate
change, natural disasters, and public health emergencies) have been
largely ignored in incremental adaptation plans. Vulnerable
communities and areas not only require different adaptive responses
to climate risk but also possess unlocked adaptive capacity that
can motivate different patterns of sustainable development to
achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda. It is essential, therefore,
to view transformative growth and fundamental reorientation of
economic resources as integral parts of the solution. Social
disorganisation and vulnerability are other undesired outcomes of
the unpredictable and widespread external economic shocks. This is
due to a sudden and tough competition between members of society to
acquire precious resources, most of which may be depleted during
unprecedented events such as natural disasters or pandemics
resulting in an even more chaotic and disorganised conditions.
Economic Effects of Natural Disasters explores how natural
disasters affect sources of economic growth and development. Using
theoretical econometrics and real-world data, and drawing on
advances in climate change economics, the book shows scholars and
researchers how to use various research methods and techniques to
investigate and respond to natural disasters. No other book
presents empirical frameworks for the evaluation of the quality of
macroeconomic research practice with a focus on climate change and
natural disasters. Because many of these subjects are so large,
different regions of the world use different approaches, hence this
resource presents tailored economic applications and evidence.
