Marktdynamik und Innovation
Im Frühjahr 2002 verstarb Professor Hans-Jürgen Ewers, zuletzt Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturpolitik der Technischen Universität Berlin und deren Präsident. Der Band enthält Originalbeiträge, die von Kollegen und Schülern im Angedenken an Hans-Jürgen Ewers verfasst wurden. Die Aufsätze spiegeln das reichhaltige Spektrum an Themen wider, zu denen Hans-Jürgen Ewers wissenschaftliche Beiträge geleistet hat. Dabei verharren sie nicht in "reiner" Theorie, sondern beschäftigen sich insbesondere mit deren Umsetzung - ganz so wie es Hans-Jürgen Ewers als engagierter Verfechter marktwirtschaftlicher Grundsätze immer getan hat.In einem einführenden Beitrag wi...

Modernizing Infrastructure in Transformation Economies
The design of infrastructure policies is a controversial issue in the transition economies of Eastern Europe, where the dismal state of infrastructure was widely regarded to be one of the major obstacles to economic recovery and sustained growth. With the imminent enlargement of the EU, Christian von Hirschhausen provides a detailed, reflective analysis of the state of infrastructure development in Eastern Europe.

Contemporary Urban Sociology
This book provides an up-to-date overview of issues and debates in contemporary urban sociology. It is both a guide to, and a critical analysis of, the major theoretical approaches to the field.
Institutions, Discourse, and Regional Development
Why are some regional development strategies adopted and others rejected? Only limited systematic attention has been paid to the politics of regional policy, including the role of institutions, discourse, and political debate in shaping this major area of public policy. The book develops an institutionalist approach to the study of regional policy, capable of spanning major European development paradigms and accounting for the dynamic relationship between organisations, policies and political discourse. This conceptual framework is then applied to the Scottish Development Agency, a development body famed across Europe for its innovative policies but surrounded by political controversy in Scotland. A detailed study of corporate strategies, policy implementation, and the wider British environment questions existing interpretations of the organisation which tend to vilify anti-interventionist Thatcherites or glorify shrewd development professionals. Instead the author proposes an alternative synthesis which highlights the interplay between institutions, discourse and regional development in the politics of regional policy.

Urban Agglomeration and Economic Growth
Urban Agglomeration and Economic Growth is the fifth volume in the series of books emanating from the activities of the Egon-Sohmen-Foundation.

These papers cover historical and theoretical aspects as well as policy implications. The volume contains contributions by M. Beckmann, H.-J. Ewers, R.H. Funck, M. van Geenhuizen and P. Nijkamp, G. Giuliano and K.A. Small, P. Hall, H. Klodt, J. Mokyr, H.W. Richardson and J.G. Williamson.
External Environmental Costs of Electric Power
Environmental costs of electric power generation are receiving increasing attention as an important input to planning and decision processes. Since the outstart of the discussion on the monetized environmental costs of electricity in 1988 a number of studies have been conducted on the subject, producing partially contradictory results. Simultaneously political action has resulted from the first stage on this discussion process. In Germany the higher rates which have to be payed to autoproducers based on renewable energy sources have been explicitly justified by the existence of external environmental costs of conventional electricity generation. At the same time some state regulatory commiss...
Flexible Mechanisms for an Efficient Climate Policy
In the Kyoto Protocol to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, industrialized countries agreed on binding absolute targets for greenhouse gas emissions and on the admission of flexible market-economy instruments - such as emissions trading, joint implementation and the clean development mechanism - used for reaching the targets. The contributions in this volume reveal that flexible instruments can lower the costs of climate protection considerably - not only in theory, but also in practice. Concerning implementation, it will be necessary to take care of possible loopholes, uncertainties and transaction costs which may be too high if no proper design is chosen.
