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.

Series Statement: Elgar research reviews in economics

Content: 'I have always thought authoritative lists such as "100 books you should read" are fascinating. So it is great to also have such a list available in one's professional field. Professor Diebold's book does just that; it compiles his list of academic research articles one should know in risk measurement and management. Through his central position in financial econometrics, based on his own extensive research, Professor Diebold is one of the few who can make such a list ... Professor Diebold's fascinating compilation summarizes the history of risk management research, focussing on research prior to the global financial crisis.'--Esa Jokivuolle, SUERF. 'This collection of papers is an essential set of references for anyone involved in risk management, both in academia and in industry.'--Andrew Lo, MIT Sloan Management, US. This authoritative volume charts the origins, development, and current frontiers of financial risk management. It emphasizes the role for risk management created by real-world market imperfections, and progresses to consider stochastic financial modeling, the failure of 'normality', and time-varying volatility. Professor Diebold has selected seminal papers by leading academics which cover multiple markets (equities, bonds, etc.), univariate and multivariate perspectives, connectedness and systemic risks, and stress testing. The collection, along with an original introduction by the editor, will be of interest to academics, market participants, and policy-makers, particularly as we chart a new course following the financial crisis of 2007-2008.

Content: Thomas Sowell explains the principles of economics in plain jargon for the general public, answering questions like: Why are homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks of New York in the winter, when the abandoned apartment buildings have four times as many dwelling units as there are homeless people in the city? Why did Russians have to import food to feed people in Moscow, when Russia itself had vast amounts of some of the richest farmland in Europe?
