Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three essays are the result of my research into the origins of economic thought and entrepreneurship. In undertaking this work, I found out more about the role economic action - in which I have taken an active part since fifty -years - plays in determining the prosperity of a society. I was moved by four questions, in particular: - Why is property a necessity? - Skills and emancipation of individuals - Behaviour and organisation of groups - How can socialism work? Action should be influenced by ethical foundations of economics und business. Important principles include responsibility, efficiency and subsidiarity. Coupled with the principle of freedom and the pursuit of technical progress, their implementation can lead a competing community to great prosperity, which then helps to solve the social problem of underprivileged minorities through self-help. The book begins by investigating the spiritual and economic conditions that paved the way for the industrial revolution in the High Middle Ages. The next section demonstrates that no wealth can be achieved without legal certainty. This is followed by an account of the agricultural region of Catalonia at the Mediterranean foot of the Pyrenees, which opened up to the world around the year 1000 and proceeded to gain a modest degree of prosperity. An economy that spanned Christianity and Islam shows signs of globalisation.

Book excerpt: This dissertation is composed of three chapters that try to address questions in three different fields. In Chapter 1, I provide evidence that acquirers often pursue takeovers to catch up with competitors. This motive for takeovers leads to an important self-selection problem that is largely overlooked in previous studies, and causes downward bias in traditional estimates of takeover gains. I build a structural model to quantify this bias and measure acquirers' true takeover gains. Once estimated to match key data moments, the model produces a significantly positive takeover gain for acquirers as high as 12% of the firm value and implies a sizable bias of -16% in traditional empirical estimates. In Chapter 2, I document that high inflation predicts a decline in future real consumption and equity cash-flows, which is significantly stronger for durable than for non-durable goods. This suggests that durables is an important channel through which inflation affects long-term economic growth and asset prices. I derive and estimate an equilibrium two-good nominal economy model. The model can account for the key features of macro data, nominal bond yields and equity prices in durable and nondurable sectors. Inflation non-neutrality for durable consumption plays the key role to explain these data features. In Chapter 3, I study the impact of market competition on intermediate input quality and market share dynamics in credit rating - security issuance. In the upstream market, aggressive strategic behavior on part of credit rating agencies (CRAs) is negatively correlated with their lagged movements in market share but positively correlated with their contemporaneous movements in market share. This finding indicates that CRAs respond strategically to increasing competition by producing more "issuer-friendly" ratings. In the downstream market, investors adjust prices for credit risk but not for the effects of CRAs competition. Combining this evidence together, I conclude that policy intervention and public monitoring are necessary to restore a disciplined and well-functioning credit rating market.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work begins with three essays on policy issues: the case for a middle way between command economies and free market economies; the broad principles of fiscal policy for Australia in the 1990s; and an integrated set of modest proposals to get the world economy on the path to prosperity. All approaches used in these essays are associated with the broad church of post-Keynesianism and the belief that economics should produce a more just and equitable society. Later essays analyze theoretical topics in an historical context. The remaining papers are a selection of intellectual biographies, and general esays which range from the author's views on the relationship between mathematics and economics to what Adam Smith really said.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this slim, insightful volume, noted economist Samir Amin returns to the core of Marxian economic thought: Marx’s theory of value. He begins with the same question that Marx, along with the classical economists, once pondered: how can every commodity, including labor power, sell at its value on the market and still produce a profit for owners of capital? While bourgeois economists attempted to answer this question according to the categories of capitalist society itself, Marx sought to peer through the surface phenomena of market transactions and develop his theory by examining the actual social relations they obscured. The debate over Marx’s conclusions continues to this day. Amin defends Marx’s theory of value against its critics and also tackles some of its trickier aspects. He examines the relationship between Marx’s abstract concepts—such as “socially necessary labor time”—and how they are manifested in the capitalist marketplace as prices, wages, rents, and so on. He also explains how variations in price are affected by the development of “monopoly- capitalism,” the abandonment of the gold standard, and the deepening of capitalism as a global system. Amin extends Marx’s theory and applies it to capitalism’s current trajectory in a way that is unencumbered by the weight of orthodoxy and unafraid of its own radical conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in a three-volume exposition of Shubik's vision of "mathematical institutional economics" explores a one-period approach to economic exchange with money, debt, and bankruptcy. This is the first volume in a three-volume exposition of Martin Shubik's vision of "mathematical institutional economics"--a term he coined in 1959 to describe the theoretical underpinnings needed for the construction of an economic dynamics. The goal is to develop a process-oriented theory of money and financial institutions that reconciles micro- and macroeconomics, using as a prime tool the theory of games in strategic and extensive form. The approach involves a search for minimal financial institutions that appear as a logical, technological, and institutional necessity, as part of the "rules of the game." Money and financial institutions are assumed to be the basic elements of the network that transmits the sociopolitical imperatives to the economy. Volume 1 deals with a one-period approach to economic exchange with money, debt, and bankruptcy. Volume 2 explores the new economic features that arise when we consider multi-period finite and infinite horizon economies. Volume 3 will consider the specific role of financial institutions and government, and formulate the economic financial control problem linking micro- and macroeconomics.

Book excerpt: Interest in Aristotelianism and in virtue ethics has been growing for half a century but as yet the strengths of the study of Aristotelian ethics in politics have not been matched in economics. This ground-breaking text fills that gap. Challenging the premises of neoclassical economic theory, the contributors take issue with neoclassicism’s foundational separation of values from facts, with its treatment of preferences as given, and with its consequent refusal to reason about final ends. The contrary presupposition of this collection is that ethical reasoning about human ends is essential for any sustainable economy, and that reasoning about economic goods should therefore be informed by reasoning about what is humanly and commonly good. Contributions critically engage with aspects of corporate capitalism, managerial power and neoliberal economic policy, and reflect on the recent financial crisis from the point of view of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Containing a new chapter by Alasdair MacIntyre, and deploying his arguments and conceptual scheme throughout, the book critically analyses the theoretical presuppositions and institutional reality of modern capitalism.

Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do financial derivatives enhance or impede innovation? We aim to answer this question by examining the relationship between equity options markets and standard measures of firm innovation. Our baseline results show that firms with more options trading activity generate more patents and patent citations per dollar of R&D invested. We then investigate how more active options markets affect firms' innovation strategy. Our results suggest that firms with greater trading activity pursue a more creative, diverse and risky innovation strategy. We discuss potential underlying mechanisms and show that options appear to mitigate managerial career concerns that would induce managers to take actions that boost short-term performance measures. Finally, using several econometric specifications that try to account for the potential endogeneity of options trading, we argue that the positive effect of options trading on firm innovation is causal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is comprised of three essays in the economics of information. In the first one we analyze the prac-tice of price discrimination from the prism of consumer-data driven market segmentation. We are particularly interested in the consumer-optimal segmentations, and in particular those that benefit poorer consumers the most. We show that once such distributive preferences are considered, optimal segmentations might not co-incide with consumer-optimal segmentations without distributive preferences. In particular, such "redistributive" segmentations might induce some extra profits to the firm. We also provide insights on the general shape of such redistributive segmentations. In the second chapter we study a persuasion problem in which the receiver is a "wishful thinker", meaning that he distorts his beliefs in the direct of more optimistic scenarios. We show how such bias impacts the effec-tiveness of information provision as a tool for inducing certain types of behavior, and illustrate our argument with three applications: information campaigns designed by health agencies, financial reports designed by a financial broker and political information in the context of elections.In the third chapter we study a persuasion problem in which the audience is composed of receivers who per-ceive the information being transmitted with varying degrees of refinement. We characterize the joint distribu-tion of beliefs that a sender can induce in the electorate in such a setting and show that the value that the sender can obtain through persuasion can be retrieved by process of recursive concavification of its indirect utility.

Book excerpt: Reflections on two centuries of economic history from a Nobel Prize winner in the field: “An accessible collection by a renowned economist.”—Library Journal How do economists decide what questions to address and how to choose their theories? How do they tackle the problems of the economic system and give advice on public policy? With these broad questions, Nobel laureate R. H. Coase, widely recognized for his seminal work on transaction costs, reflects on some of the most fundamental concerns of economists over the past two centuries. In fifteen essays, Coase evaluates the contributions of a number of outstanding figures, including Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, Arnold Plant, Duncan Black, and George Stigler, as well as economists at the London School of Economics in the 1930s. “Are you looking for a book by an economist who can really write and has insight after insight on free markets vs. government regulation? Would you like it even better if you could get some good laughs from his clever way of putting things? Then Ronald H. Coase’s Essays on Economics and Economists is the book for you.”—Reason
