Personnel Economics


Free Download Peter Kuhn, "Personnel Economics"
English | ISBN: 0199378010 | 2017 | 592 pages | PDF | 9 MB
The centerpiece of most adults’ daily lives is the workplace, where all participants-as workers or managers-can benefit from thinking strategically about employee motivation, compensation, and selection. Personnel Economics uses simple but formal economic models to study what happens inside the workplace. Fueled by the latest findings from behavioral economic research, the text provides an intuitive introduction to the two workhorses of empirical research on personnel issues: designing experiments and using regression to study naturally occurring data.

Law, Economics, and Conflict


Free Download Kaushik Basu, "Law, Economics, and Conflict"
English | ISBN: 1501759388 | 2021 | 234 pages | PDF | 11 MB
In Law, Economics, and Conflict, Kaushik Basu and Robert C. Hockett bring together international experts to offer new perspectives on how to take analytic tools from the realm of academic research out into the real world to address pressing policy questions. As the essays discuss, political polarization, regional conflicts, climate change, and the dramatic technological breakthroughs of the digital age have all left the standard tools of regulation floundering in the twenty-first century. These failures have, in turn, precipitated significant questions about the fundamentals of law and economics.

An Introduction to Geographical Economics Trade, Location and Growth


Free Download Harry Garretsen, Charles van Marrewijk, "An Introduction to Geographical Economics: Trade, Location and Growth"
English | 2002 | pages: 376 | ISBN: 0521770394 | PDF | 2,1 mb
The need for better understanding of the role location plays in economic life was first and most famously made explicit by Bertil Ohlin in 1933. However it is only recently, with the development of computer packages able to handle complex systems, as well as advances in economic theory, that Ohlin’s vision has been met and a framework developed which explains the distribution of economic activity across space. This book is an integrated, non-mathematical, first-principles textbook presenting Geographical Economics to advanced students. Its emphasis is on examples, diagrams, and empirical evidence, making it the ideal starting point prior to monographic and journal material.

Economics of Standards in Information Networks


Free Download Economics of Standards in Information Networks By Dr. Tim Weitzel (auth.)
2004 | 292 Pages | ISBN: 3790800767 | PDF | 10 MB
Standards play a prominent role in systems characterized by interaction. In information systems, standards provide for compatibility and are a prerequisite for collaboration benefits. More generally speaking, standards constitute networks. In this work, a standardization framework based on an analysis of deficiencies of network effect theory and a game theoretic network equilibrium analysis is developed. Fundamental determinants of diffusion processes in networks (e.g. network topology, agent size, installed base) are identified and incorporated into a computer-based simulation model. As a result, typical network behaviour (specific diffusion patterns) can be explained and many findings from traditional network effect theory can be described as special cases of the model at particular parameter constellations (e.g. low price, high density). On this basis, solution strategies for standardization problems are developed, and a methodological path towards a unified theory of networks is proposed. "… a very important contribution to the economics of standardization, and the results make the book a must for everyone working in the field."
