Free Download Thomas F. Cotter, "Intellectual Property: Economic and Legal Dimensions of Rights and Remedies"
English | 2005 | pages: 316 | ISBN: 0521540674, 0521833167 | PDF | 2,7 mb
This book addresses several aspects of the law and economics of intellectual property rights (IPRs) that have been underanalyzed in the existing literature. The authors demonstrate that the core assumption of IPR regimes-that IPRs maximize certain social benefits over social costs by providing a necessary inducement for the production and distribution of intellectual products-has several important implications for the optimal design of remedies, the standard of care, and the law of standing and joinder.

John Perkins has seen the signs of today’s economic meltdown before.

In his former life as an economic hit man, he was on the front lines both as an observer and a perpetrator of events, once confined only to the third world, that have now sent the United States-and in fact the entire planet-spiraling toward disaster.

Free Download Economic Growth: Advances in Analysis Methodologies and Technologies by Vitor Joao Pereira Domingues Martinho
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 150 Pages | ISBN : 3031383621 | 21.4 MB
This book assesses the main interrelationships between economic growth processes, life cycle sustainability assessment approaches, and new technologies in the framework of digital transition.

Readers of the book would benefit from diverse perspectives on the contributions of evaluation methodologies and digital technologies to more sustainable economic growth. This is important especially for students, policymakers and public institutions. Economic growth is analysed using the concepts of sigma and beta convergence from neoclassical theory and the Verdoorn law of Keynesian development. For sustainability assessments, the book considers methodologies associated with social life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analysis. In the context of digital technologies, special emphasis is given to machine and deep learning approaches.

Subsequent chapters delve into the determinants of the diffusion process through the third quarter of the 19th century relating to engines used both in mining and industry as well as transportation (railways, steam cars).
