Book Synopsis Basic Social Policy and Planning by : Hobart A Burch
Download or read book Basic Social Policy and Planning written by Hobart A Burch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Basic Social Policy and Planning, Burch presents a generic process for professional intervention and social work leadership that is required of those who desire to achieve improvements in the lives of those they serve. Burch developed this text and guide so that even persons with no prior formal training in social planning can apply these principles in their practices. Because few social workers are content with simply repairing the damages caused by inequities, inadequacies, and injustices in society, Basic Social Policy and Planning offers a usable set of guidelines on how to change lives for the better, in small and occasionally large ways, from within any setting--agency, community, and public policy. Social workers, nurses, teachers, and other human service professionals spend their lives relating to the social and emotional needs and problems of people. Burch converts sophisticated policy and planning concepts and techniques into a form which experts and non-experts can understand, relate to, and apply in their practices. He supplies these workers with approaches, methods, models, ways of thinking, and techniques for planning. He covers: VIBES (Values, Interests, Beliefs, Ethics, and Slants): Understanding where you and others are coming from and toward what destination you and they are heading Systems theories and worldviews: Understanding how these affect planning Logical analysis of all ways of thinking--scientific and experiential, bounded and nonbounded Different approaches to planning--comprehensive rational analysis; disjointed incrementalism and satisficing; mixed scanning; strategic, decentralized, contingency, transactional, and advocacy planning Global, strategic, tactical, and project management levels of planning Needs assessment and participation of those who will be affected Quantitative and economic planning approaches: Understanding basic ideology and assumptions Quantitative and economic approaches--measurement, pricing, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis, decision analysis When used as a text, the first priority of this book is to give BSW and MSW students the training which they will need and want later in their careers. This training is consistent with Council on Social Work Education’s required BSW/MSW foundation courses as well as advance practice courses in most programs. When used as a guidebook for the many practitioners who have learned, since graduation, that they need more skill in setting and achieving policy, agency, and community goals than they learned in school, Basic Social Policy and Planning can enhance the “left brain” in social workers, who as a group tend to be stronger in the “right brain” direction with chapters that walk the reader step-by-step through a generic rational planning model and tell why, whom, when, and how to involve others in planning. Because the substance of the book is rooted in advance interdisciplinary planning theory and practice, this book is just what the doctor ordered for a doctoral first course in policy and planning--it provides the “hard” background in planning for professors of policy and macro practice. It is also highly appropriate for new PhDs who are assigned to teach such courses with limited background with its chapters on foundations of policy and planning, various approaches to planning, and quantitative techniques related to costs, benefits, and uncertainties in planning.
Book Synopsis Social Accounting and Economic Modelling for Developing Countries by : S.I. Cohen
Download or read book Social Accounting and Economic Modelling for Developing Countries written by S.I. Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. Providing the first comprehensive systematic assessment of the social accounting matrix (SAM) in twenty developing countries, Solomon Cohen introduces key research in the area and looks at its practical applications. Divided into two parts, the first part of each chapter: -Deals with the construction and structural analysis of the SAM -Examines refinements of the SAM as a self-contained model of the economy; study of SAM multipliers of growth and distribution -Explores decompositions of multiplier effects and cross-country and inter-temporal comparative analysis of changing economic structures. The second part looks at the SAM as a modular framework and a database, which can be flexibly used in economic policy modelling. This valuable reference, and the accompanying volume Social Accounting or Industrial and Transition Economies will be an essential addition to the bookshelves of researchers, instructors, policy makers, scholars and libraries.

Book Synopsis Socio-Economic Development Model Based on Stochastic Advance-Retreat Course by : Feng Dai
Download or read book Socio-Economic Development Model Based on Stochastic Advance-Retreat Course written by Feng Dai and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the environmental pressure into account, the paper presents the concept and analytic model of stochastic advance-retreat course (SARC) to study socio-economic development. Based on SARC model, we can describe and analyze the features of process and stages of socio-economic development. The application methods of SARC model are discussed in the average mode and golden mode. Some important conclusions are as, the cyclical fluctuations in socio-economic development is caused by the environmental pressure, innovation growth too fast or too many innovations may cause the social and economic fluctuations, rapid growth brings with it the weak persistence, and so on. Finally, the empirical researches have been made on the data of USA GDP (chained) price index, and the results show that the SARC model can describe U.S. economic development in recent 70 years, and some economic development strategies are given.
Book Synopsis Economics and Engineering of Unpredictable Events by : Caterina De Lucia
Download or read book Economics and Engineering of Unpredictable Events written by Caterina De Lucia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the intensification of unpredictable events including the Covid-19 outbreak, Brexit, trade warfare, religion-inspired terrorism and civil wars, and climate change has resulted in serious loss of human lives and property, a decrease in biodiversity and natural hazards (with long-term negative impacts on environment), and impeded social and economic development. Economics and Engineering of Unpredictable Events: Modelling, Planning and Policies provides an integrated view of the management of unpredictable events incorporating three major perspectives: economic management, environmental planning and engineering models. Contributors from economics, planning, regional science, and engineering address key questions including; How resilient are human societies and their habitats? What should societies do to shift from being vulnerable to being more resilient? And what role should planning and policies play to protect communities and the natural environment? The chapters cover academic debates, conceptual reflections, case studies, methods, and strategy development with particular reference to mitigation and adaptation in face of unpredictable events. This book is of particular interest to readers of economic policy, urban and regional planning and engineering.

Book Synopsis The Programming Approach and the Demise of Economics by : Franco Archibugi
Download or read book The Programming Approach and the Demise of Economics written by Franco Archibugi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This trilogy deals with an epistemology of economics, arguing for a radical overturning of conventional analysis and providing an alternative to political economy and social sciences, based not on positivism, but on a normative and programming paradigm. Volume III furthers and concludes work presented in Volume I and Volume II, and introduces a concrete and practical example of how to build a Planning Accounting Framework (PAF), as associated with Frisch's 'plan-frame' (explored in Volume II), to demonstrate the extent to which decisions and negotiations can be routed in the social sciences. The PAF is an instrument of the programming approach that can be used to verify the compatibility of decisions and their effects. The author builds on Frisch's classical PAF to maximise the phenomenology of economic systems, and assure a consistent and effective implementation of decision making.

Book Synopsis Allocation Models and their Use in Economic Planning by : Art R. Heesterman

This book was released on 1971-06-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three different lines of approach have contributed to the theory of optimal planning. One approach considers the problem from the view-point of a national government and its adviser, the econometrician planning speci alist. The government can, if this is thought to be desirable, stimulate investment in certain directions and discourage other economic activities. By various fiscal devices, it can influence both the total level and the distribution of investment funds over different sectors of production. Also, in many countries, a public agency plays some kind of coordinat ing role in the formulation of long-term plans for output by the enter prises sector; this may range from administrative direction in so-called centrally planned economies, to persuasion and advice in 'capitalist' economies. Accordingly, the public planner wishes to know what dis tribution of the nation's resources would be 'optimal'. This leads to the construction of various models which may be described under the general heading 'input-output type models'. This type of model has been largely developed by practitioners, among whom Sandee [B2] is probably the most outstanding and the earliest. A later, well-developed example of a model based on this approach is, for example, the Czech model by Cerny et al. [Bl]. A second approach considers the problem from the point of view of the private entrepreneur and his adviser, the manager and financial accountant.

Book Synopsis Configuring the Economy by : Adrienne van den Bogaard
Download or read book Configuring the Economy written by Adrienne van den Bogaard and published by Thesis Pub. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its crucial role in modern society, mathematization as a phenomenon has hardly been studied. The Dutch Central Planning Bureau (CPB) is an example of a powerful institute in the preparation of economic policy whose influence is largely based on their mathematical representations of the national economy. This book analyses the emergence of the Dutch Central Planning Bureau to shed light on two fundamental questions: how does a process of mathematization take place and what are its consequences? The Dutch case is compared with the emergence of planning and mathematization in France and Norway. The book shows that mathematical constructions are not objective facts but outcomes of complex intellectual, socio-economic, cultural and political processes. For example, the national economy didn't simply unveil its mathematical structure to us but it had to be configured in such a way that it could be described in macro-econometric models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the human race has been striving to develop itself and its environment. The concept of education seems to lend support to this claim. Thus far, it does not appear that the world has been able to grapple satisfactorily with this problem. This is because it will seem that only a third of the world's population have experienced any measure of development or have succeeded in overcoming the problems of poverty since the advent of the industrial revolution about 3 centuries ago which brought modern civilization. This may mean that either our planning is defective, which could be the result of poor understanding of the socio-economic system or that the adequacy of the planning tool kit to deal satisfactorily with the confounding problem of underdevelopment is in question or both.The pervasive and high incidence of poverty, ignorance, disease, squalor, poor diet and poor shelter and the attendant incidences of labour unrest, political instability, inflation, economic bankruptcy, war, and revolutions are indeed a testimony that the planning and management of the world's socio-economic order are still defective. This stresses the need not only to device new approaches but also in addition to carry out a self re-examination or evaluation.This book furnishes a systematic approach to mathematical modeling and empirical research in economics. Indeed the leap from reality or economic theory to mathematical model is often a difficult one and attempts to simplify this step have been haphazard so far. A lot of mathematical tools have been proliferated by mathematicians and the modeling methodology features a wide range of approaches, which include many specialized techniques. These include Mathematics in its own right as a common denominator, Statistics, Econometrics, Systems Analysis, Operations Research, Cybernetics, Simulation, Input-Output Analysis, Cost Benefit Analysis and a host of others. These approaches have been elucidated at international seminars and some of them have acquired the status of disciplines and sub-disciplines. Even though each and every one of the above techniques constitutes a powerful tool by itself, ample opportunity exists to blend them in the solution of economic problems. So far no real effort has been made to harmonize these set of tool kits. Indeed Econometrics one of these sub-disciplines is the translation of economic theory into mathematical formulation and the application of statistical and mathematical methods in characterizing solutions with a view to achieving better economic policies and better focus and control in development. As a tool for development planning, many critics who feel that existing econometric models are unreliable and thus will be dangerous to base development planning and policy decisions on them have attacked it. The inability of mathematicians to communicate effectively with non-mathematicians at one level and also the inability among practitioners to systematize econometric modeling procedures at the other hand might be the source of such suspicious contentions that exist among critics. This thus stresses the need apart from devising new approaches, to reconcile, harmonize and rationalize the above techniques in order to harness their individual strengths more optimally in the solution of economic problems and thus development planning.
