Series Statement: Elgar research reviews in economics

Content: The appropriate role of mathematics in economics has been controversial for two hundred years, and has been a matter of ongoing debate as economics became more mathematical after the Second World War. Controversy has been heightened after extensive criticisms of models used for analysis, prediction and risk assessment prior to the great financial crash of 2008. In this topical collection, Professor Hodgson brings together the seminal classic and recent essays published since 1945 on the role of mathematics in economics, by leading authors including six Nobel Laureates, and from a variety of perspectives.

Series Statement: Elgar research reviews in economics

Content: In recent years, increasing numbers of articles and studies have emerged across the disciplines of economics, accounting, finance and management to examine the importance of considering both the private and social economic benefits of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). As stakeholders and their concerns have multiplied, and empirical evidence has accumulated, CSR has become a critical area of interest. This authoritative collection examines the five related and most significant elements of this subject - theoretical perspectives, firm financial performance, socially responsible investing, environmental performance and strategic CSR - to provide a comprehensive exploration of the literature on Corporate Social Responsibility and its economic consequences.

Content: The relative prosperity in U.S. agriculture that attended the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 was followed by a general decline in U.S. agricultural prices from 1998 to 2000. This trend in declining prices continues through the year 2001, despite the movement toward more liberalized agricultural trade. Trade liberalization has been the result of a variety of factors, including the implementation of the Uruguay Round Agreement, and the establishment of a variety of regional trade agreements, such as the North America Free Trade Agreement. Needless to say, in the face of falling agricultural prices and increasingly liberalized ag­ ricultural trade, the agricultural policy scene is an extremely complex one, both locally and globally. The chapters in this volume look to understand this complexity by ad­ dressing the interaction between trade, the economic well-being of the farm sector, and the possibilities for future policy reform. The chapters collected here explore a number of different issues, including the operation of the tar­ iff-rate quotas established under the Uruguay Round Agreement, the impli­ cations of sanitary and phytosanitary restrictions on trade, and the growing controversy over genetically modified organisms. In addition, several chap­ ters analyze the interaction between agricultural trade and environmental concerns.

Content: Activity-based management has already proven extremely valuable to manufacturers in helping them to cut waste, improve quality, reduce cycle times, and get their products to market faster. The team that had the first bestselling title on activity-based costing, now looks at activity-based management. Now, Activity-Based Management demonstrates how this innovative form of managerial accounting - which provides an organization with the tools to isolate the separate activities within its business processes and measure the cost and performance of each activity - can be applied to service groups, government agencies, and nonprofit entities. This new management technique will enable organizations to pinpoint problem areas, achieve excellence, and set in motion a process of continuous improvement

Content: This groundbreaking book examines why traditional managerial accounting methods have become obsolete in a new age of advanced technology and information systems. It discusses why they can only treat the symptoms rather than the root causes of problems and why they are incapable of measuring and making visible the actual costs of providing a service - a key to eliminating wasteful activities. Activity-Based Management argues that activities - the basic components of an organization and the building blocks for analyzing costs - must be the backbone of any contemporary managerial system. It reveals how activity management highlights those resources that drive costs, focuses corporate strategy, supports continuous improvement, enhances decision support systems, and ensures that plans are transmitted to a level at which effective remedial actions can be taken

Content: The book introduces a five-step approach to calculating activity cost. It identifies the way on organization uses its resources to accomplish its objectives by eventually pinpointing the actual cost per activity. Armed with this information, readers are ready for the next stage - activity-based budgeting. Here, the book lays out a step-by-step process that helps organizations plan and control their expected activities/business processes in order to derive a cost-effective budget that will meet projected workloads and strategic goals.

Content: Ratings, Rating Agencies and the Global Financial System brings together the research of economists at New York University and the University of Maryland, along with those from the private sector, government bodies, and other universities. The first section of the volume focuses on the historical origins of the credit rating business and its present day industrial organization structure. The second section presents several empirical studies crafted largely around individual firm-level or bank-level data. These studies examine (a) the relationship between ratings and the default and recovery experience of corporate borrowers, (b) the comparability of credit ratings made by domestic and foreign rating agencies, and (c) the usefulness of financial market indicators for rating banks, among other topics. In the third section, the record of sovereign credit ratings in predicting financial crises and the reaction of financial markets to changes in credit ratings is examined. The final section of the volume emphasizes policy issues now facing regulators and credit rating agencies.

Content: Analysis and Modeling of Manufacturing Systems is a set of papers on some of the newest research and applications of mathematical and computational techniques to manufacturing systems and supply chains. These papers deal with fundamental questions (how to predict factory performance: how to operate production systems) and explicitly treat the stochastic nature of failures, operation times, demand, and other important events. Analysis and Modeling of Manufacturing Systems will be of interest to readers with a strong background in operations research, including researchers and mathematically sophisticated practitioners.

Content: Two of the most fundamental concepts in the theory of stochastic processes are the Markov property and the martingale property. * This book is written for readers who are acquainted with both of these ideas in the discrete-time setting, and who now wish to explore stochastic processes in their continuous­ time context. It has been our goal to write a systematic and thorough exposi­ tion of this subject, leading in many instances to the frontiers of knowledge. At the same time, we have endeavored to keep the mathematical prerequisites as low as possible, namely, knowledge of measure-theoretic probability and some familiarity with discrete-time processes. The vehicle we have chosen for this task is Brownian motion, which we present as the canonical example of both a Markov process and a martingale. We support this point of view by showing how, by means of stochastic integration and random time change, all continuous-path martingales and a multitude of continuous-path Markov processes can be represented in terms of Brownian motion. This approach forces us to leave aside those processes which do not have continuous paths. Thus, the Poisson process is not a primary object of study, although it is developed in Chapter 1 to be used as a tool when we later study passage times and local time of Brownian motion.
