David Ricardo (1817, p. 88) opposed tariffs based on the argument that they generate inefficient usage of domestic resources in his view, countries should specialize in goods for which they have a comparative productivity advantage. Recent studies have examined the relationship between openness and growth, with mixed results some (e.g. Edwards, 1993) argued that trade openness promotes growth, while others (Rodriguez and Rodrik,2000)have criticised this idea with a series of arguments, such as the inappropriateness of variables used for expressing trade openness. In this thesis, we will examine the arguments of both sides, followed by our own empirical analysis. ····· 10361102324

Concepts as social and business entrepreneurship will be discussed as well as the fourth sector movement in order to link them with the current state of rural communities in Mexico and the players involved: Multinational corporations, private and public institutions, non-governmental organizations, and the population of rural communities. Together, they should seek a development beneficial for people in need. The way to achieve this development is by educating the players fostering the social entrepreneurship in the population. Social entrepreneurship entails all those activities and initiatives which identify problems and opportunities in communities, working in order to make the difference by adding value to the society, changing and improving a community life style.

African governments had embarked on substantial reform programmes to promote trade liberalisation and attract foreign direct investment. The study explores the motivations of foreign firms in choosing SSA as their investment location and examines the investment needs of the host economies. In modelling the home motivations, we distinguish between the labour and non-labour factors that attract FDI. The needs of the recipients are captured via the growth effect of FDI through the trade channel. The presence of international political economy factors in SSA are also considered. ····· 10361102221

In general the genesis of the domestic food price crisis was identified on the backdrop of global shock of food price as well as energy price. In addition to this a sustain fall of the US dollar value, since mid-decade pressure on dollar-dominated commodity prices directly (Timmer 2008). Surprisingly few attempts have been made to systematically analysis of shock transmission from international to domestic market specially for Bangladesh. The present study analyzed the effect of global commodity market factor and domestic exchange rate development on domestic food price instability using monthly data series. Bi-variate co-integration approach suggested by Engler-Granger was applied for the analysis of transmission. The overall magnitudes of the pass through suggest that only 46 percent of the total world shock pass-through to domestic economy.

The issues regarding trade liberalization are still a subject of the further theoretical discussion and the empirical investigation, because of the contradiction of the larger empirical literature on the trade policy and economic performance. Thus, the main aim of this book is to investigate the effects of trade liberalization and integration on the foreign trade flows. We are based on the existing theories of the effects of trade liberalization on the economy and particularly the theoretical and empirical applications in the trade literature to estimate critically the implications of trade liberalization on the economic performance. This book also provides a detailed survey and analysis of the trade flows` structure and geography of Albania using information from reliable national and international sources. Further, an augmented gravity model is applied empirically to investigate the impact of trade openness on the trade flows of Albania. Lastly, some policy recommendations are offered for public institutions, government and all interest groups in Albania`s foreign trade. ····· 10361102159

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The main objective of this work is to identify how multinational companies (MNCs) act as negotiators in the context of international governance. The main hypothesis is that MNCs try to influence the states and their coalitions, nationally and transnationally, by exercising their structural power as well as their soft power. The defense of their corporate interests depends on the confluence of their interests with those of the states as well as the states` vulnerabilities to the corporations` activities. In the first part of the book, I present the theoretical framework related to the Complex Interdependence Theory and the three-level chessboard of Nye. I recognize the limitations of the MNCs` influence power through an extension of the Frieden-Rogowsky model. The second part of the work shows the role of MNCs in two case studies: the negotiations that led to the creation of an international regime of intellectual property in the Uruguay Round of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) and the negotiations of the Cartagena Protocol of Biosafety, a complementary instrument of the Biodiversity Convention (CBD), which regulates genetically modified organisms (GMOs). ····· 10361101752

Within this wide spectrum, this study analyzes the implications of integrating Turkey`s agriculture with the EU. This is the first study to investigate the implications of extending the CU to include agriculture in a multi-sector, multi-region general equilibrium framework. It addresses some of the key issues such as welfare effects, sectoral resource allocations, agricultural unskilled labor mobility, revenue replacement and the cost of integration on the EU budget. The results indicate that much of the benefit of agricultural integration for Turkey will be conditional upon the availability of EU budget transfers to cover anticipated production subsidies. This is not a realistic scenario, however. Given the financial, economic and political difficulties EU is facing nowadays in the aftermath of the global economic crisis, a more realistic scenario would require Turkey to reorganize/downsize its agriculture, and EU to reform the CAP. Market-oriented reforms on both sides will be benefitial for all regardless of whether this integration takes place. ····· 10361101726
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book presents the hot topic of microfinance, comparing the success of microfinance institutions across two geographic regions: Africa and Asia (specifically sub-Saharan Africa [SSA] and south Asia). The success of a microfinance institution is defined by its outreach and sustainabilty, which indicate social and economic performance as well as impact. Looking more closely at poverty issues, sub-Saharan Africa poverty has essentialy doubled to 380 million (more than the U.S. population) over 20 years despite many political and economic attempts to restore economic growth. Comparing reforms taken by China and Vietnam that resulted in large and sustainable reductions in poverty, this book argues that sub-Saharan Africa has much larger issues outside of access to credit by the poor that hinder economic development. While microfinance shows to have played a role in smoothing consumption, it has not shown increased entrepreneurship or self-sufficiency and has not affected aggregate poverty levels at all. ····· 10361101547

In response the Ogiek have instituted several cases through the Kenya courts in an effort to once again access their ancestral lands. Not only has the Kenya government introduced land policies that have greatly affected the way of life of the Ogiek, it has also failed to meet its obligations at the national and international level in response to protecting the human rights of indigenous people. In light of this, this paper attempts to demonstrate analytically how some historical and modern socio-political dynamics have continued to systematically deprive the Ogiek of their land and to assess the extent to which the platform on indigenous rights has helped them in their struggle for their land. ····· 10361101476

Particularly in the context of developing countries many feel that MNCs must not consent tacitly and instead act to resolve issues such as child labour. Since not acting can be tremendously harmful to a firm`s reputation, MNCs nowadays take their responsibility and involve themselves much more with the management of social and environmental issues. In the context of supply chain management, this is often done by implementing codes of conduct that prescribe social and environmental behaviour for all business partners. Some celebrate this state of affairs. They regard Corporate Social Responsibility as a stimulator for processes of development and speak of win-win` propositions. Others feel that a more nuanced point of view needs to be defended and warn for inconsiderately embracing CSR as the new development`. All in all, it proves that our present understanding of the matter longs for both theoretical and empirical profundity.

Further, many studies are based on a partial sample of firms from a small or at least limited number of industries which tends to reduce the rich complexity of the overall decision process. This thesis tries to help remedy some of these shortcomings by providing an empirical study of UK firms entering three economies in East Asia: the Republic of Korea, Japan and Taiwan and their definitions of success. Success is a multi- dimensional construct which has definite associations with some entry decisions and that it is country-specific conditions which are most influential in determining which entry modes will be adopted and whether operational modes will have subsequently changed or be likely to change in the future. The thesis also deals with the appropriate matching of market entry modes with the particular economies studied. ····· 10361101447

Certainly he may use it but he is basically indifferent to the information flow. 5) The modern exchange trading system accepted globally, including Islamic countries, violates a few fundamental principles of Sharia and cannot be used in Islamic countries. ····· 10361101393

The CEO leadership behaviors examined were autocratic, charismatic, face saver, power sharing, and visionary. It was hypothesized that that there would be a positive relationship between the CEO leadership behaviors and the level of agreement among the TMTs, commitment, and satisfaction. In addition, it was hypothesized that the level of agreement, commitment, and satisfaction would have an effect on overall organizational performance (growth revenue and sales volume). Due to the lack of research regarding executives and their TMTs (Finkelstein & Hambrick, 1996), this study furthers the research among the upper echelon and Guatemalan organizations.

The European Union uses competition policy as a tool to create a common market and an internal market under the principle of an open market economy with free competition. As a result of this, the competition policy of the Union has outlawed price-fixing and market-sharing cartels, abuses of dominant positions and anti-competitive mergers. However, the competition policy of the European Union needs to be modernised to enable it to be more effective in practice to keep up with the changing economic and political environment and to increase the level of competition not only within the Union borders but also in the international economy. However, there are some problems in application of the competition rules to the telecommunications sector.Within this framework, Turkey, seen here as a case study, has been striving to improve her national telecommunications sector`s competitive structure for the sake of its economy and citizens and to be able to compete on an international platform especially with the EU. ····· 10361100684

Like most developing countries, Malawi also faced economic crisis by early 1980s. In order to address this crisis and economic imbalances that followed, the government called for economic policy reforms and the adoption of both stabilization and structural adjustment programs under the auspices of various multilateral and bilateral donors. In theory, both macroeconomic stabilization and structural adjustment programs aim at addressing fiscal crisis faced by most developing countries such as Malawi.
