Book Description
In industrial countries there is a strong interest in the international comparison of business data regarding productivity efficiency and competitiveness. This volume presents methods for the statistical analysis of micro- and macrodata of firms and for an international comparison of the aggregates. Case studies referring to specific countries play an important role for the development of economic hypotheses that should be tested at the international level.

A New Architecture for the U.S. National Accounts
Author: Dale W. Jorgenson
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226410870
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 649
Book Description
A New Architecture for the U.S. National Accounts brings together a distinguished group of contributors to initiate the development of a comprehensive and fully integrated set of United States national accounts. The purpose of the new architecture is not only to integrate the existing systems of accounts, but also to identify gaps and inconsistencies and expand and incorporate systems of nonmarket accounts with the core system. Since the United States economy accounts for almost thirty percent of the world economy, it is not surprising that accounting for this huge and diverse set of economic activities requires a decentralized statistical system. This volume outlines the major assignments among institutions that include the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Labor, the Census Bureau, and the Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An important part of the motivation for the new architecture is to integrate the different components and make them consistent. This volume is the first step toward achieving that goal.

Visible Costs and Invisible Benefits
Author: Gunnar Eliasson
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319669931
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
This book examines the historic role of professional and demanding military customers in industrial development. Particular emphasis is paid to public procurement of military equipment as a catalyst for innovation; and the civilian commercialization of military technologies (from gunpowder and cannons to submarines, missiles and aircraft) is documented by many case illustrations that show how macro-level productivity advance has been generated. A complementary volume to Advancing Public Procurement as Industrial Policy (2010), which focused on the spillover effects of the Swedish combat aircraft, Gripen, in this book Gunnar Eliasson widens the perspective to cover product development across the Swedish defense industry, with an emphasis on regional economic development and macro-economics, inter alia through the involvement of Saab (aircraft) and Kockums (submarines) in partnership ventures in Australia, Norway and Brazil. The volume is organized into four parts. Part one examines the historical transformation of the Swedish economy over the past three centuries from agriculture and raw materials to an advanced industrial economy. Part two presents detailed case studies to illustrate the spillover effects of procurement projects and military-industrial partnerships. Part three explains the spillover phenomenon theoretically within a dynamic micro- to macro-economic perspective. Particular emphasis is placed on the empirical credibility of model-based economy-wide and dynamic cost-benefit calculations. The book concludes with a section on fostering industrial development through public procurement. The result is a book that will appeal to economists in the industrial economics and management fields; to technical, marketing and purchasing executives in business; and to policy makers in public procurement concerned with innovation and long-run industrial development.

Agent-Based Computational Modelling
Author: Francesco C. Billari
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9783790816402
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 684
Book Description
The present book describes the methodology to set up agent-based models and to study emerging patterns in complex adaptive systems resulting from multi-agent interaction. It offers the application of agent-based models in demography, social and economic sciences and environmental sciences. Examples include population dynamics, evolution of social norms, communication structures, patterns in eco-systems and socio-biology, natural resource management, spread of diseases and development processes. It presents and combines different approaches how to implement agent-based computational models and tools in an integrative manner that can be extended to other cases.

Idiosyncratic Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations in an Emerging Market
Author: Mr. Francesco Grigoli
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1616354895
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
This paper provides the first assessment of the contribution of idiosyncratic shocks to aggregate fluctuations in an emerging market using confidential data on the universe of Chilean firms. We find that idiosyncratic shocks account for more than 40 percent of the volatility of aggregate sales. Although quite large, this contribution is smaller than documented in previous studies based on advanced economies, despite a higher degree of market concentration in Chile.We show that this finding is explained by larger firms being less volatile and by weaker propagation effects across Chilean firms.

Macro- and Microdata Analyses and Their Integration
Author: Nancy D. Ruggles
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
She is no longer an economist at Yale, but he still is. They explain how to measure and analyze macroeconomic and microeconomic data and how to integrate the two, which diverged sharply during the Great Depression and have rarely interacted since. They demonstrate macroanalysis with studies of recession and recovery in the US from 1929 to 1974, theoretical concepts and empirical measurement of saving and investment, accounting for saving and capital formation in the US from 1947 to 1991, and other cases. For microanalysis they look at a study of differential fertility based on census data, longitudinal establishment data, and other topics. For the integration of the two, they take a more methodological approach, describing such features as macroaccount and microdata sets, the relation of methodology to the technology of economic research, and measuring economic and social performance.
