Políticas públicas no Brasil: ferramentas essenciais ao desenvolvimento
Dentre os vários campos de pesquisa e de atuação dentro da ciência econômica, é comum que recomendações de políticas públicas estejam entre as conclusões dos estudos. Isso porque, além de fazer parte do contexto ao qual direta ou indiretamente estamos inseridos, elas também remetem à busca por maior igualdade e equidade econômica e social. Com vistas a concentrar a discussão das políticas públicas no Brasil como ferramentas essenciais ao desenvolvimento, esta obra traz elementos com resultados importantes para vários campos de estudo. Entre eles, são discutidas políticas públicas com aspectos no mercado de trabalho, na educação, na transferência de renda, no crédito, no transporte e de cunho ambiental.

The Economics of Education
In an important contribution to educational policy, Daniele Checchi offers an economic perspective on the demand and supply of education. He explores the reasons why, beyond a certain point, investment in education has not resulted in reductions in social inequalities. Starting with the seminal work of Gary Becker, Checchi provides an extensive survey of the literature on human capital and social capital formation. He draws on individual data on intergenerational transmission of income and education for the USA, Germany and Italy, as well as aggregate data on income and educational inequality for a much wider range of countries. Checchi explores whether resources spent in education are effective in raising students' achievement, as well as analysing alternative ways of financing education. The Economics of Education thus provides the analytical tools necessary to understand the complex relationships between current income inequality, access to education and future inequality.

This is truly an interdisciplinary book for knowledge workers in business, finance, management and socio-economic sciences based on fuzzy logic. It serves as a guide to and techniques for forecasting, decision making and evaluations in an environment involving uncertainty, vagueness, impression and subjectivity. Traditional modeling techniques, contrary to fuzzy logic, do not capture the nature of complex systems especially when humans are involved.

Emphasis is on applications presented in the 27 case studies including Time Forecasting for Project Management, New Product Pricing, and Control of a Parasit-Pest System.

Competition Law and Economic Inequality
The gap between the rich and poor is widening across the globe. This book explores whether this major societal challenge of our time can be addressed by the means of competition law. The primary goal of today's competition law is to ensure that market power does not lead to an inefficient production of goods and services. Nevertheless, even such efficiency-oriented curbing of market power may arguably contribute to the reduction of differences in how much people own and earn. Furthermore, many competition law regimes do take into account distributive considerations too. The chapters investigate the relationship between competition law and economic (in)equality from philosophical, historical,...
