The making of Harrod's dynamics

by Daniele Besomi (1999)

About this book

"This book inquires into the origin and early development of Roy Harrod's notion of economic dynamics. It examines how Harrod gathered the analytical, methodological and epistemic components of his theory, and how these are logically connected. It shows that the organizing concept is the instability principle, stating that in order to provide an endogenous explanation of movement a destabilizing factor must be introduced at the outset. This makes it a premise rather than a result of Harrod's trade cycle theory. The relationship of Harrod's dynamics with the 'orthodox theory' and with the alternative approaches to dynamics - in particular the 'time-lag theories of the cycle' - is also examined."--BOOK JACKET.

Social culture and high-tech economic development

Fred Phillips

Our understanding of technology's role in modern regional economic development has not kept pace with the rush of governments, civic organizations and NGOs to launch new technology based economic development ("TED") initiatives. This book advances our understanding of TED from a practical, applied viewpoint and is enriched by short contributions from other key figures in Austin's and Portland's technopolis efforts. Focusing on the Austin (Texas) and Portland (Oregon) experiences, but drawing from a wealth of other regional examples, this volume shows how to achieve successful TED and demonstrates through case studies the ten principles that no TED initiative can afford to ignore. Once mastered, these principles can enable regions to become new centres of economic activity for the new century.

Cover of Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship

Thomas Grebel

"The entrepreneur has been neglected over the years in formal economic theorizing. Previously there has been only eclectic theories, such as human capital theory and network dynamics which discuss certain aspects of entrepreneurial behaviour. This book closes a gap in the entrepreneurship literature." "Thomas Grebel has provided a synthesis of all the main theories of entrepreneurship and the original thinking within this book should be of interest to all those working in the area of business and management as well as economics."--Jacket.

Cover of Personal wealth from a global perspective

Personal wealth from a global perspective

James B. Davies

"There is great media fascination in the activities and lifestyles of the super-rich. But personal wealth is also important for those of more modest means - as a store of potential consumption, as a cushion against emergencies, and as collateral for business and investment loans. This book is the first global study of household assets and debts. It documents not only the level, distribution, and trend of wealth holdings in rich nations, but also addresses developing countries like China and India. The situation in Latin America and Africa is given attention along with the experiences of Russia and other transition countries. Components of household wealth like financial assets, land, and property are examined, as well as the gender division. Worldwide, it is estimated that the richest 2% own more than half of total global wealth, and that this group resides almost exclusively in North America, Western Europe, and rich Asia-Pacific countries."--Jacket.
