Measuring Capital in the New Economy
As the accelerated technological advances of the past two decades continue to reshape the United States' economy, intangible assets and high-technology investments are taking larger roles.

The answers to these questions have broad implications for the assessment of the economy's growth over the long term, for the pace of technological advancement in the economy, and for estimates of the nation's wealth. In Measuring Capital in the New Economy, Carol Corrado, John Haltiwanger, Daniel Sichel, and a host of distinguished collaborators of...

A Life in Music

A child prodigy as a pianist and a virtuoso conductor of symphonies and opera, he has known and worked with many of the most distinguished and exciting musicians of the 20th century, not least his own wife Jacqueline du Pré.

Age Of Fire Is Over, The: A New Approach To The Energy Transition
The heart of the contemporary argument on climate change and energy transition focuses on how energy supply should be decarbonized to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.This book proposes an alternative approach.The Age of Fire Is Over: A New Approach to the Energy Transition finds that energy transitions are not driven by supply-side driven transformations but rather by evolutions in demand patterns.Exploring the potential of recently emerged key technologies, The Age of Fire Is Over argues that the so-called Energy Transition has not yet started. In the future, key technologies will significantly transform demand and provide services at a fraction of today's cost or offer new services not y...

Firm Size and the Business Environment
The development of the small and medium enterprise sector is deemed crucial for economic growth and poverty alleviation. Such firms are often though to be at a disadvantage when compared with larger enterprises, but the reverse can apply, for example in the more flexible approach of the smaller firm. This paper draws on a private sector survey in 80 countries examining whether business obstacles are related to firm size. It finds a bias against small firms, which experience significantly greater problems than large firms with financing, taxes and regulations, inflation, corruption and street crime. These problems should be the prime targets of policies aimed at reducing inequity.
Nazgol Ansarinia
Bei ihrer Arbeit untersucht Nazgol Ansarinia die Systeme und Netzwerke, die ihrem täglichen Leben zugrunde liegen, wie Alltagsgegenstände, Routinen, Ereignisse und Erfahrungen, und damit einhergehend die Beziehung, die sie in einem größeren sozialen Kontext bilden. Die Monografie ermöglicht nun erstmals einen Überblick über das Werk der letzten 15 Jahre und fasst ihre Skulpturen, Installationen, Zeichnungen und Videos zusammen. Die einzelnen Projekte stellen Wege zum Verständnis der Rolle der Architektur als Abgrenzung von Innen- und Außenräumen sowie von privaten und öffentlichen Bereichen dar. Mit ihrem beobachtenden Blick geht Ansarinia stets der Frage nach, was Städte und ihre Bewohner heute am dringlichsten benötigen. Die reich bebilderte Publikation enthält ausführliche Essays von Media Farzin, Hamed Khosravi und Maria Lind.
