Economic Performance
The economic performance of Austria and Italy during the last two decades is analysed by economists from both countries. Their contributions interpret observed historical facts starting from a macroeconomic level down to disaggregated structural issues. The performance as well as prospects of economic policy concerning the monetary sector, the balance of payments, the industrial sectors, and the labour markets are reviewed. Specific problem areas are investigated and relationships to current economic theory are established. Readers find sufficient material to form opinions about the difference in national approaches to assess economic problems and about the different ways of attacking them.

Lost Letters from Vienna
In 1977, Sue Course discovered a box of airmail letters in the dark recesses of a cupboard, written in German. Her German was rusty, but she could see that most were from her parents and grandparents and were written from the time of the Nazi invasion of Vienna in 1938. The letters revealed a gripping tale of their war and that of their extended family, the stories of those who escaped and eventually resettled across the globe, and their experiences in that process. The story was fleshed out through the later discovery of diaries and far-flung family members’ war memoirs. For Sue’s family, their entitlement to be a part of Viennese society and a citizen of the Austrian nation itself was ...
Science and Practice in Clinical Neurology
Science and Practice in Clinical Neurology illustrates the changing face of neurology by reviewing many recent developments in the field. Among the many topics covered are headache, movement disturbances, abnormalities of sensation, autonomic failure, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and molecular genetic approaches to neurological disease. The authors emphasize the pathophysiology of neurological disorders and make suggestions for diagnosis and treatment. They also discuss a number of new diagnostic tests, incuding PET scanning and motor-evoked potentials. The volume concludes with an authoritative overview of important new directions in neuroscience, concentrating particularly on the contribution of molecular genetics.
The Political Economy of Trade Integration
This dissenmion looks at increasing trade ilUegrorionjrom three angles: FirSl, what are welfare implications of trade integrmion and trading blocks? Second, what mechanism can improve the sustoinabiliry oj trade integration? Third, whO! relationship evolved between trade and foreign direct investment? Chapter I starts by questioning Krugman's (1993) trading block modeJ, which suggested that world trade is increasingly conducted between three trading blocks, which produces a minimum in world welfare. His symmetrical trading block model is extended into a two-sector model, where trade is not only beneficial through increased varieties in a Dixit-Stiglitz framework, but also through comparative...
Cycles, Growth and Structural Change
This volume gathers together key new contributions on the subject of the relationship, both empirical and theoretical, between economic oscillations, growth and structural change. Employing a sophisticated level of mathematical modelling, the collection contains articles from, amongst others, William Baumol, Katsuhito Iwai and William Brock.
Regional Sustainability
This book presents interdisciplinary approaches towards achieving regional sustainability. The relevance of interdisciplinary research and its consequences for economic research into the environment are elaborated, and new approaches are developed to integrate knowledge from ecological and social sciences into economic research. Regional Sustainability includes the development of theoretical concepts as well as applied regional case studies relating to nature conservation and agricultural policies, coastal management and air pollution problems. Centered around the themes of decision-making processes, modelling as support for policy analysis and the evaluation of policies, it successfully addresses problems facing researchers and policy-makers in the context of regional sustainable development. The book pays special attention to human behaviour and stakeholders in decision-making processes, and contributes to the transition from ecological economics to socio-ecological economics.
New Tools of Economic Dynamics
New Tools of Economic Dynamics gives an introduction and overview of recently developed methods and tools, most of them developed outside economics, to deal with the qualitative analysis of economic dynamics. It reports the results of a three-year research project by a European and Latin American network on the intersection of economics with mathematical, statistical, and computational methods and techniques. Focusing upon the evolution and manifold structure of complex dynamic phenomena, the book reviews and shows applications of a variety of tools, such as symbolic and coded dynamics, interacting agents models, microsimulation in econometrics, large-scale system analysis, and dynamical systems theory. It shows the potential of a comprehensive analysis of growth, fluctuations, and structural change along the lines indicated by pioneers like Harrod, Haavelmo, Hicks, Goodwin, Morishima, and it highlights the explanatory power of the qualitative approach they initiated.
Economics of Innovation: The Case of Food Industry
Giovanni Galizzi and Luciano Venturini The food industry has been characterized by several and profound changes in its structure and competitive environment in the last decades. Although it is not a research-oriented industry, there is no arguing that technological change and particularly product innovations are crucial determinants of ftrms' performance and In recent years food manufacturers have accelerated the consumers' welfare. development of new products, by using new ingredients, processing and packaging techniques. Thus, food markets are increasingly characterized by competitive environments where relevant flows of innovative products, quality improvements and new technologies provid...
