Book Description
The discipline of technology management focuses on the scientific, engineering, and management issues related to the commercial introduction of new technologies. Although more than thirty U.S. universities offer PhD programs in the subject, there has never been a single comprehensive resource dedicated to technology management. "The Handbook of Technology Management" fills that gap with coverage of all the core topics and applications in the field. Edited by the renowned Doctor Hossein Bidgoli, the three volumes here include all the basics for students, educators, and practitioners
Trade Enabling Investments in Networked Markets
Author: Matthew Lloyd ElliottPublisher: Stanford University
ISBN:

Pages : 165
Book Description
In many markets not all buyers can trade with all sellers. These markets can be represented as a network where the buyers and sellers are the nodes and weighted edges represent potential gains from trade between buyer-seller pairs. In these networked markets the structure of the network will affect who trades with whom and the terms of these trades. In particular, agents' alternative trading opportunities might provide outside options for them. In Chapter 2 I identify a parsimonious mapping from the network structure into market outcomes that captures these intuitions and is stable insofar as no buyer-seller pair could do better by instead trading with each other. In many instances networked markets are formed endogenously through investments that enable trade. In the remainder of Chapter 2 I explore such investments when they are directed. For example, two countries might build a pipeline to enable them to trade natural gas. In Chapter 3 I consider undirected investments in search, where the set of the possible trading opportunities that are discovered, and can subsequently be utilized, depends on the search efforts of the agents. For example, workers and firms might exert effort searching for each other in the labor market. This dissertation explores the nature and size of inefficiencies in these trade enabling investments.
Looking Into the Black Box
Author: Barbara PetrongoloGood Economics for Hard Times
Author: Abhijit V. BanerjeePublisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541762878
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.
Handbook of Regional and Urban Economics
Author: V. HendersonPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080495125
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1081
Book Description
The new Handbook of Regional and Urban Economics: Cities and Geography reviews, synthesizes and extends the key developments in urban and regional economics and their strong connection to other recent developments in modern economics. Of particular interest is the development of the new economic geography and its incorporation along with innovations in industrial organization, endogenous growth, network theory and applied econometrics into urban and regional economics. The chapters cover theoretical developments concerning the forces of agglomeration, the nature of neighborhoods and human capital externalities, the foundations of systems of cities, the development of local political institutions, regional agglomerations and regional growth. Such massive progress in understanding the theory behind urban and regional phenomenon is consistent with on-going progress in the field since the late 1960's. What is unprecedented are the developments on the empirical side: the development of a wide body of knowledge concerning the nature of urban externalities, city size distributions, urban sprawl, urban and regional trade, and regional convergence, as well as a body of knowledge on specific regions of the world—Europe, Asia and North America, both current and historical. The Handbook is a key reference piece for anyone wishing to understand the developments in the field.
