Monetary Policy, Crisis and Capital Centralization in Corporate Ownership and Control Networks
Based on a connection between network analysis and B-VAR models, this paper provides a first empirical evidence of the relationships between capital centralization expressed in terms of network control on one hand and monetary policy guidelines and business cycles on the other. Our findings suggest that a tightening monetary policy leads to a decrease in the fraction of top shareholders of network control which results in a higher centralization of capital; and that a higher centralization of capital, in turn, leads to a reduction of GDP with respect to its trend. These relations are confirmed both for the United States and the Euro Area.
Innovations in Older Adult Care and Health Service Management: A Focus on China
Population aging is a consistent global demographic trend. The growth in both the size and proportion of older adults has threatened the sustainability of health systems in meeting healthcare needs of the population. Countries in the Asia-Pacific Region may face even more complex health system challenges due to the diversity in culture, management and leadership styles, composition of health service provision, investment in research infrastructure and innovation adaptation, data availability, and gaps in information technology.
Economic Growth and Health Expenditures Relationship Between OECD Countries
In recent years, the demand for health services has increased as a result of the awareness of society in countries, increasing inequalities, unemployment, migration, climate change, epidemics, inflation, aging, increasing use of health technologies, and similar developments. This has led to a significant increase in healthcare spending. To meet this rising demand and health spending, policymakers have had to create new resources and enact new policies and regulations for resource allocation. Growth rates in national economies have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years. The studies to be conducted in this Research Topic will guide policymakers in the future by showing how economic growth affects health services and whether it leads to differentiation among countries. The research will examine the relationships between health spending, health indicators, and economic growth in OECD countries. OECD stands for “The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development”, a group of 38 countries with market-based economies where the governments collaborate to ensure sustainable economic growth.
What Matters for Health and Happiness Among the Older Adults in Asia
People want to live a healthy and happy later life. A large body of literature shows the close association between health status and happiness and between health and active engagement (in work, exercise, and social and religious activities). However, the causation between the two can run both ways, and it is difficult to determine the causal effect with cross-sectional data. Various authors have shown the significant influence of socioeconomic factors and human needs on older people’s health status and happiness. A better understanding of the factors affecting healthy and happy aging is essential for policymaking to improve the well-being of older people. The availability of data from HRS-...
The Covid-19 Intelligence Failure
An in-depth analysis of why COVID-19 warnings failed and how to avert the next disaster Epidemiologists and national security agencies warned for years about the potential for a deadly pandemic, but in the end global surveillance and warning systems were not enough to avert the COVID-19 disaster. In The COVID-19 Intelligence Failure, Erik J. Dahl demonstrates that understanding how intelligence warnings work ? and how they fail ? shows why the years of predictions were not enough. In the first in-depth analysis of the topic, Dahl examines the roles that both traditional intelligence services and medical intelligence and surveillance systems play in providing advance warning against public he...
La guerra capitalista
Dimenticato dagli eredi più o meno degni della tradizione del movimento operaio, Marx viene invece letto, citato e celebrato dagli organi di stampa della grande finanza mondiale, dall’“Economist” al “Financial Times”. Un paradosso solo apparente, che si spiega con il crescente interesse delle classi dominanti verso la grande ambizione del metodo scientifico marxiano: disvelare le “leggi” di movimento del capitalismo per tentare di anticipare le sue traiettorie. La più rilevante di queste “leggi” trae origine dalla feroce competizione tra capitali che ogni giorno sui mercati determina vincitori e vinti, con i primi che “uccidono e mangiano” i secondi: è la cosiddetta tendenza verso la centralizzazione dei capitali in sempre meno mani, che inedite tecniche di ricerca consentono oggi di verificare empiricamente. Ma questa tendenza non riguarda solo la sfera economica. La sua forza dirompente agisce a tutti i livelli e contribuisce a delineare i tratti distintivi di questo tempo carico di minacce: dal declino delle democrazie liberali alle recrudescenze imperialiste, fino ai nuovi venti di guerra globale.
Reassembling Motherhood
The word “mother” traditionally meant a woman who bears and nurtures a child. In recent decades, changes in social norms and public policy as well as advances in reproductive technologies and the development of markets for procreation and care have radically expanded definitions of motherhood. But while maternity has become a matter of choice for more women, the freedom to make reproductive decisions is unevenly distributed. Restrictive policies, socioeconomic disadvantages, cultural mores, and discrimination force some women into motherhood and prevent others from caring for their children. Reassembling Motherhood brings together contributors from across the disciplines to consider the ...

Data Science and Social Research
This edited volume lays the groundwork for Social Data Science, addressing epistemological issues, methods, technologies, software and applications of data science in the social sciences. It presents data science techniques for the collection, analysis and use of both online and offline new (big) data in social research and related applications. Among others, the individual contributions cover topics like social media, learning analytics, clustering, statistical literacy, recurrence analysis and network analysis. Data science is a multidisciplinary approach based mainly on the methods of statistics and computer science, and its aim is to develop appropriate methodologies for forecasting and ...
Monetary Policy Rules
This timely volume presents the latest thinking on the monetary policy rules and seeks to determine just what types of rules and policy guidelines function best. A unique cooperative research effort that allowed contributors to evaluate different policy rules using their own specific approaches, this collection presents their striking findings on the potential response of interest rates to an array of variables, including alterations in the rates of inflation, unemployment, and exchange. Monetary Policy Rules illustrates that simple policy rules are more robust and more efficient than complex rules with multiple variables. A state-of-the-art appraisal of the fundamental issues facing the Federal Reserve Board and other central banks, Monetary Policy Rules is essential reading for economic analysts and policymakers alike.
