Book Synopsis Post-Laspeyres by : Mr.Paul A. Armknecht
Download or read book Post-Laspeyres written by Mr.Paul A. Armknecht and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer price indexes (CPIs) are compiled at the higher (weighted) level using Laspeyres-type arithmetic averages. This paper questions the suitability of such formulas and considers two counterpart alternatives that use geometric averaging, the Geometric Young and the (price-updated) Geometric Lowe. The paper provides a formal decomposition and understanding of the differences between the two. Empirical results are provided using United States CPI data. The findings lead to an advocacy of variants of a hybrid formula suggested by Lent and Dorfman (2009) that substantially reduces bias from Laspeyres-type indexes.

Download or read book Smart Beta written by Romedius Troberg and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In economics, each and every rational decision made is supposed to maximize individual utility. This approach especially applies to the investor in financial goods. In accordance with neoclassical utility optimization, the individual investors are supposed to be willing to exchange investment good in order to maximize their expected future return. This approach anticipates every individual investor to try and estimate the future cash flows of the investment in order to evaluate its current value. Hence, trades at every stock exchange are to be executed at all times where you have two investors differing in their estimation of the intrinsic value of an investment product. As a consequence, every investor is supposed to create a portfolio with assets that in turn maximize his/her expected return. Every investor is supposed to make an individual and rational attempt to maximize his/her utility and to behave in a risk-averse manner. However, according to the neoclassical theory, it is not possible to gain more from an investment than the market does, as long as markets are efficient. Financial markets can be seen as the most efficient markets, if not the only efficient markets in real economy, as, in the market context, information is transferred the fastest and prices are thus adopted nearly instantly. Nevertheless, all investors at the stock exchanges try to make money by using their individual knowledge in order to gain something from investing in some assets. They have of course, at the same time, the possibility to follow the market themselves or to try to bet against the market. Every investor hence always faces the question of whether to trade on the market with his/her own individual knowledge in order to gain some additional utility, or to simply attempt to do the same as the whole market and follow the belief of the market at a whole. The question thus arises of what exactly efficient fund management looks like. This paper will discuss several possibilities which arise in literature and in the real economy when thinking about fund management, and will discuss the rather new concept of “Smart Beta” investments, in particular. The focus of this paper thus lies in the question of whether smart beta concepts serve as potential superior alternatives to the classical passive investment products.
Book Synopsis Public Enterprise Revisited by : Chrisafis H. Iordanoglou
Download or read book Public Enterprise Revisited written by Chrisafis H. Iordanoglou and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book compares the 1954-79 labour productivity record of five expanding public sector industries to that of 24 expanding, capital intensive, mass-production industries in the British private sector. The author shows that the public sector industries' labour productivity growth was significantly faster than that of the private sector industries. Strikingly, he also finds that the state-owned industries were narrowing their productivity gap with their US counterparts at a significantly faster rate than the private sector industries. Dr. Iordanoglou concludes that it is possible that public ownership had - in the historical period investigated - a long-term positive effect on these industries."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Local Government Development in Post-war Japan by : Michio Muramatsu
Download or read book Local Government Development in Post-war Japan written by Michio Muramatsu and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of intergovernmental relations in postwar Japan. These relations are shown to be both complex and dynamic, and the Japanese model is revealed as one in which aspects of both central control and local autonomy have co-existed with the balance shifting gradually over time towards the latter. The Japanese system has helped to maintain broad-based economic growth since it has at its core a strongly egalitarian fiscal transfer mechanism. At the same time, it has proved to be consistent, to a much greater extent than previously recognized, with political development, or progress in the attainment of such political values as liberty (personal rights) and equality (broad participation in public affairs) for individuals and communities. This is because the national government has proved flexible enough to accommodate, although not always with grace or alacrity, citizen concerns about the quality of life. The Japanese approach to intergovernmental relationships has also been successful in solving coordination problems which often arise between local and central government units and in building capacity to support greater and effective decentralization. Coordination problems have been handled through a variety of mechanisms including the practice of agency delegated functions, while local capacity issues have been addressed through such practices as the exchange of personnel across different levels of government and the use of attractive compensation and training packages to recruit and retain local staff. The Japanese experience thus provides an example of gradual and guided decentralization based on shared responsibilities between local and central governments for mobilizing, managing, and spending public resources in the pursuit of sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Multinational Business and Transnational Regions by : Marten Boon
Download or read book Multinational Business and Transnational Regions written by Marten Boon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational Enterprise and Transnational Regions offers an innovative approach to the study of the history of transnational economic regions. The Rhine valley is such a region comprising the cities and areas along the Rhine river and its tributaries. The transition from coal to oil that unfolded between 1945 and 1973 rapidly transformed the region, shattering some of the old river-based connections and creating new ones with the introduction of large-scale cross-border oil pipelines. Multinational enterprises shaped these new regional connections but divergent national government responses gave rise to differentiated development in different parts of the Rhine valley. Multinational Enterprise and Transnational Regions argues that processes of regional change should be understood from transnational interconnections rather than from local or national perspectives. This book uses a transnational business history methodology to tease out the region’s transformation and to circumvent the national bias in public sources. It will be of relevance to academics and researchers with an interest in regional and transnational European history, international business, environmental history, and business history, as well as practitioners interested in the oil industry, energy and energy history, business history and international business, and associated disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social and economic empirical research, especially the judgment of national power, is especially important, whose foundation (economic statistics) we need to make a professional review of. This book introduces the existing research results of foreign and domestic economic statistics, analyzes its intrinsic value and application significance, reveals various professional misunderstandings and index misreading that are widely spread in society, manifests various "measurement traps" implied in empirical application, summarizes four basic contradictions that economic measurement is difficult to avoid, in particular, its possible impact on the data results and empirical conclusions, and puts forward the discipline pattern and research focus of economic statistics. This book continues the critical thinking on the logic of economic measurement and is also the basis of other topics in this series. This book is suitable for the following three types of scholars, postgraduates, and senior undergraduates who are: ? willing to deepen, expand and improve the research and teaching of economic statistics theory and methodology; ? engaging in economic empirical analysis; ? willing to apply mathematical methods in the field of social economy.

Book Synopsis Productivity, Inequality, and the Digital Economy by : Nathalie Greenan
Download or read book Productivity, Inequality, and the Digital Economy written by Nathalie Greenan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-08-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on the computer and the economy, particularly in relation to employment rates and to wage inequality. The widespread diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) has had controversial, seemingly paradoxical consequences. ICT are viewed as driving growth and employment in the United States, while contributing to European unemployment and the so-called Eurosclerosis. At the same time, both the United States and Europe have seen increased wage inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers.This book explores the computer's puzzling effects on the economy, at both the micro and macro levels. The contributions include data from field work, small samples of firms, and national surveys of management practice; econometric studies; and macroeconomic theoretical analysis.
