Rediscovering Economic Policy as a Discipline
A leading expert on economic policy makes the convincing case for the foundation, coordination and reach of government action through economic policy. Presenting justifications for government intervention in coping with market failures, Acocella applies the theory of economic policy to current global issues.
Economic Policy in the Age of Globalisation
In the age of globalisation both domestic and foreign economic policies play an important role in determining firms' strategies. Understanding such policies is an essential part of the cultural background of managers at all levels of a firm. At the same time, firms' choices have a greater impact on economic policymaking in a global economy, as the range of alternatives open to them expands. In this textbook, Professor Acocella analyses both sides of this relationship. Special emphasis is placed on current issues: in policymaking on the basis of social choice principles and the normative and positive theory of economic policy; and issues concerning the establishment of international public institutions that can match the global reach of the private institutions (markets and firms) that generate many of today's economic challenges. Broad in scope, this book is aimed at students who have completed an introductory course in both micro and macroeconomics.
Rediscovering Economic Policy as a Discipline
Government interventions in market failures can encounter objections from those who doubt their efficacy. Acocella, a leading expert on economic policy, counters these unfounded criticisms, making the convincing case for the foundation, coordination and reach of government action through economic policy. Arguing for the governmental potential to devise democratic, fair and effective institutions and policies, this book also demonstrates the validity of the principles outlined by Frisch and Tinbergen, amongst others, for controlling the economy, in a strategic context, equivalent to the rational expectations assumption. Demonstrating how unconventional monetary policies (such as macro-prudential regulation, new fiscal rules, and new forms of international policy coordination) can offer an effective response to the multiplicity of current economic issues, the recent financial crisis arguably indicates that economic policy must once again take centre stage as the applied complement to mainstream economic theory.
The European Monetary Union
Analyzes the roots of Europe's economic decline, examining institutions of the European Union and exploring possibilities for reform.
The Theory of Economic Policy in a Strategic Context
A new unified theory of economic policy which responds to conflicts between strategic public and private policymakers.
The Foundations of Economic Policy
Recent developments in public economics have largely been in the direction of reaffirming the limits of the market and of establishing new ones. The possible existence of fundamental non-convexities, imperfect and asymmetric information, incentive compatibility, imperfect competition, strategic complementarity, and scale economies led to the conclusion that a large set of market failures exist; such situations also imply government failure. Acocella, considers this complicated picture and provides a discussion of the different approaches to establishing social 'rankings' of the possible situations and the underlying principles. The arguments for and against different institutions are then analysed at a micro and macroeconomic level. The market and the government are recognised as imperfect, and thus complementary, institutions. Specific policy targets and instruments are considered in the areas of micro and macro-economic policy. Special attention is devoted to questions of policy management in an open economy. Finally, problems of domestic and international policy co-ordination are considered.
Macroeconomic Paradigms and Economic Policy
An examination of macroeconomic policy, focusing on the relationship between free-market policies and government intervention.
The Foundations of Economic Policy
This is the first English-language edition of Nicola Acocella's highly successful undergraduate text, originally published in 1994. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, Acocella's emphasis is on the persistence of market failures and the full range of issues connected to public intervention and regulation. Very impressive in its scope, (including welfare economics, social choice, public economics as well as macro- and micro-economic theory and policy), Foundations of Economic Policy is user friendly with a comprehensive index, summaries, key word lists and pathways designed for both rigorous and intuitive study.
Artificial Intelligence
AI has received vast and transformative applications, impacting industries and daily life in profound ways. AI is reshaping how we live and work, from improving shopping experiences and educational outcomes, to revolutionizing healthcare and robotics. As technology continues to advance, the potential for AI to drive innovation and solve complex problems is limitless, promising a future where intelligent systems enrich our lives in ways we have yet to imagine. However, the costs of education and – even more – the risks deriving from it are notable and must be taken into account.
