Interpreting Economic and Social Data
"Interpreting Economic and Social Data" aims at rehabilitating the descriptive function of socio-economic statistics, bridging the gap between today's statistical theory on one hand, and econometric and mathematical models of society on the other. It does this by offering a deeper understanding of data and methods with surprising insights, the result of the author's six decades of teaching, consulting and involvement in statistical surveys. The author challenges many preconceptions about aggregation, time series, index numbers, frequency distributions, regression analysis and probability, nudging statistical theory in a different direction. "Interpreting Economic and Social Data" also links statistics with other quantitative fields like accounting and geography. This book is aimed at students and professors in business, economics demographic and social science courses, and in general, at users of socio-economic data, requiring only an acquaintance with elementary statistical theory.
Quantity and Quality in Economic Research
First published in 1997, this volume responded to a current national concern with quality control. Part 1 addresses issues including the US trade deficit, international lending to Brazil and the traditional theory of international finance.

Finally, part 3 consists of 7 papers on applied economics and finance, including predicting the success of takeover bids and an examination of the economic determinants of juvenile crime in New York City.
Critical Methods in Political and Cultural Economy
Critical Methods in Political and Cultural Economy offers students and scholars the first methods book for the critical school of International Political Economy (IPE). What does it mean to ‘do’ critical research? How do we write about the evidence we present? This volume explores our shared critical ethic to demonstrate how methods are transformative and reimagines research strategies as both an embodied practice and a social process. By presenting methodologically informed ways of researching, enriched by real-life accounts from academics doing empirical research, the volume seeks to forge a new collaborative path that builds a critical ethic and modes of inquiry within International P...

Wilhelm Winkler (1884-1984)
Die vorliegende Biographie Wilhelm Winklers, des einflussreichsten österreichischen Statistikers im 20. Jahrhundert, ist wissenschafts- und sozialgeschichtlich angelegt. Der Autor konzentriert sich auf die Darstellung und ideologiekritische Analyse demographischer Diskurse anhand von Winklers Werk. Er untersucht in diesem Kontext auch die Entwicklung der akademischen und der amtlichen Statistik in Österreich.Winklers wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit, die einen Zeitraum von mehr als sechzig Jahren umfasste, spiegelt die wechselvolle Geschichte der Statistik und der Demographie in den deutschsprachigen Ländern wider. Als Vorläufer der Minderheitenstatistik, Ökonometrie und Demometrie im deutschsprachigen Raum vereinigte Winkler als Forscher, Universitätslehrer und Wissenschaftsorganisator in ungewöhnlicher Weise theoretische und angewandte Zugänge zur Statistik. Das bewegte Leben des "katholisch-nationalen", im Prag des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts sozialisierten Gelehrten Winkler bildet den Hintergrund für diese detaillierte wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Studie.
