INTERNATIONAL FINANCE IN EMERGING MARKETS

miércoles, mayo 28 en 10:08 a. m.

The book "International Finance in Emerging Markets" reviews contemporary issues in international monetary and financial economics in an emerging financial market using the example of Thailand. The book adopts the elements of new welfare economics and asymmetric information paradigms in analyzing those issues including financial liberalization, crisis, exchange rate determination, and domestic capital market reform. The book suggests for the first time a normative social approach for addressing the contemporary issues in international monetary and financial economics. It provides an example of cutting edge research in international finance and monetary economics within a welfare economics framework. It also suggests some policy implications of the welfare economic analysis of international financial issues in an emerging market.

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

martes, mayo 20 en 12:02 p. m.

This book originated in my fascination with international economic integration as one of the most important global forces of our time. My motivation for writing it drew strength from my conviction that a phenomenon so central to our daily lives deserves study in all its present facets and in its many historical dimensions.

Ideally, this work should exhaustively analyze all those present facets and many historical dimensions. Realistically, here I can make only a beginning. So I present a basic book that can be profitably read by anyone interested in the major issues of the day. The work is not a textbook, but it lends itself as supplementary reading to students taking courses in various subjects. These include courses in globalization, political economy, international economic relations, international economic history, international business history, international trade, international organizations, global economics and poverty, international economic integration and, of course, the history of international economic integration.

LIMITS TO FREE TRADE: NON-TARIFF BARRIERS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, JAPAN AND UNITED STATES

miércoles, enero 23 en 5:48 p. m.

This book explores the growing list of non-tariff trade barriers raised by the US, EU and Japan and assesses the prospects for significant trade liberalization. The author examines the liability of global free trade through a review of the complaints these three countries raised about each other over a five-year period. He concludes that free trade may be increasingly hampered as barriers are created more rapidly than can be resolved, and that the prospects for significantly strengthening safeguards are limited. These issues are analyzed in the contexts of the major WTO trade agreements and the political economy of decision-making in the US, EU and Japan.

GLOBALIZATION AND ECONOMIC ETHICS

viernes, diciembre 28 en 7:13 p. m.

How should we divide societal resources and output among ourselves? According to need, contribution, equality, economic efficiency, or deserts? Why? How should we rank these criteria of distributive justice in order of their importance? These are among the biggest unresolved questions of political economy, and they have become even more divisive in the face of globalization

THE INTERNATIONAL HANDBOOK OF COMPETITION

miércoles, diciembre 26 en 12:07 p. m.

Competition is a constitutive property of a market economy following immediately from the right of each individual to pursue his or her own interest. Therefore competition policy is a cornerstone of economic policy in a market economy. In fact, following the lead of US antitrust, most industrialized countries now have introduced some kind of competition policy.

THE ORIGINS OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DISORDER

miércoles, agosto 1 en 11:18 p. m.

The book begins with an overview of the British gold standard and its gradual breakdown during the interwar period. This sets the stage for the main subject: the history of the monetary order underlying the multilateral free-trade system promoted and managed by the United States. The analysis rests on a distinction between a closed economy, where trade imbalances can be corrected by the imposition of quotas and tariffs, and an open one, where the only way to overcome an imbalance is either to encourage exports by lowering the value of the national currency (devaluation) or to discourage imports by allowing domestic economic activity to stagnate (deflation). Block suggests that while the closed economy is more favorable to the working classes, the open one is sought by those with money to invest, i.e. the capitalists. What the book actually studies is the historical effort by a surplus exporter, the postwar United States, to provide the credit required by its trading partners, essentially the Western European nations and Japan, to continue purchasing its goods and thus sustain its industrial expansion.

MISALIGNMENT OF EXCHANGE RATES: EFFECTS ON TRADE AND INDUSTRY

sábado, octubre 8 en 11:11 a. m.

Contributors to Misalignment of Exchange Rates address a series of questions about misalignment. Several papers investigate the causes of misalignment and the extent to which observed movements in real exchange rates can be attributed to misalignment. These studies are conducted both empirically, through the experiences of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and the countries of the European Monetary System, and theoretically, through models of imperfect competition. Attention is then turned to the effects of misalignment, especially on employment and production, and to detailed estimates of the effects of changes in exchange rates on several industries, including the U.S. auto industry. In response to the contention that there is significant "hysteresis" in the adjustment of employment and production to changes in exchange rates, contributors also attempt to determine whether the effects of misalignment can be reversed once exchange rates return to earlier levels. Finally, the issue of how to avoid—or at least control—misalignment through macroeconomic policy is confronted.

Both the real trade portion of the book and the monetary portion are divided into a core of chapters focused on theory, followed by chapters applying the theory to major policy questions, past and current. The Sixth Edition has been throughly revised to reflect the changes of today's global economic landscape, including the unprecedented expansion of globalization, the increasingly crucial nature of international economic relations, the gains from trade, and recent anti-globalization controversies such as the continuing debate over the optimal level of trade.

THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

lunes, marzo 14 en 12:20 p. m.

This book investigates the realm of intellectual property rights (IPRs) within the context of international political economy. In particular, it examines the extent to which powerful interest groups, such as pharmaceutical multinational companies, influence the political dynamism underlying the field of IPRs.

Meir Perez Pugatch argues that a pure economic approach does not provide a sufficient or satisfactory explanation for the creation of intellectual property rights, most notably patents. The author instead suggests that a dynamic approach, based on the international political economy of interest groups and systemic outcomes, provides a better starting point for explaining how the international intellectual property agenda is determined.

CONTENTS

1. Introduction
2. The economic theory of IPRs (patents and trademarks)
3. Economic and political explanations for the emergence of a stronger international IP system
4. The advanced pharmaceutical industry in Europe and IPRs
5. Core IP interests and the organizational structure of the advanced pharmaceutical industry in Europe
6. TRIPs and pharmaceuticals
7. Opposition of developing countries and LDCs to the TRIPs pharmaceutical IP agenda
8. Protecting the international pharmaceutical IP agenda of TRIPs: strategies and activities of the advanced pharmaceutical industry in Europe between 1995 and 1999
9. The dynamics of change within the framework of IPRs
