Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s represents a period in which both government and industry are attempting to reduce expenditures, focusing on economics of operation as a priority problem. Both are undergoing a downsizing to eliminate unnecessary functions and personnel with an increased emphasis on cost effectiveness and maximization of return on investment. All construction has a purpose and the economics of use is involved in the decision process to build or upgrade. Commercial and industrial construction are categories of investment which generally are designed to serve in an income producing role. The user commits to the expenditure of an amount of resources to establish an operating environment to meet a specific objective. In the corporate world, the objective may be an office complex designed for administrative or sales functions, or the objective may be an industrial complex designed to produce a product. It may be a hospital designed to assist the community by offering medical services. In the government sector, the objective might be an office complex to administer a state or federal program. In the Department of Defense, small self-contained cities are operated to meet the military needs for ports, airfields, industrial facilities, administration and personnel housing. Executive Order 12911 directs a screening program to quantify the numbers of federal buildings requiring seismic upgrade and an estimate of the cost to bring these deficient buildings up to current requirements. The expected costs of upgrade are huge and economics plays a central role in the decision process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, societies have had to decide whom to 'sacrifice' and whom to help in times of disaster. This volume examines how elite groups attempt to maintain power through the use of particular economic, political, and ideological instruments and how both ruling elites and common people endeavor to create meaningful traditions while enduring hardship.The Political Economy of Hazards and Disasters demonstrates how vulnerability is economically constructed, primary producers adapt their production regimes, how traders and merchants adapt their practices, and how political economic objectives play out in recovery efforts.

Download or read book The Economics of Natural and Unnatural Disasters written by William S. Kern and published by W.E. Upjohn Institute. This book was released on 2010 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only recently have economists understood natural and unnatural disasters as economic phenomena to be formally analyzed. Given the magnitude of many recent disasters, their impact on local, regional, and national economies, and the coverage of their consequences in the popular press, it is puzzling that the attention of economists was for so long largely diverted from analysis of these events. This book presents a noted group of contributors who stand at the forefront of this increasingly important subdiscipline of economics the economics of disasters. The chapters they contribute cover a wide variety of events and delve into the human and economic impacts disasters impose on nations around the world. Several themes dominant in this literature are discussed. These include the ability of potential disaster victims to accurately assess the risks they face, the role of incentives in ensuring that mitigation efforts are undertaken, the adequacy of our evaluation of the impact of disasters on economies, and discussion of the effectiveness of current government policies toward disaster prevention and relief. These will in all likelihood continue to be topics of discussion in the future as well.
