Título : Social Preference, Institution, and Distribution : An Experimental and Philosophical Approach Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Natsuka Tokumaru ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Singapore : Springer Singapore Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science, ISSN 2198-4204 num. 3 Número de páginas: XII, 165 p. 24 illus., 22 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-981-10-0137-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Economic history Behavioral economics Social policy Economics Behavioral/Experimental Methodology/History of Thought Policy Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This is the first book to examine behavioral theories on social preference from institutional and philosophical perspectives using economic experiments. The experimental method in economics has challenged central behavioral assumptions based on rationality and selfishness, proposing empirical evidence that not only profit seeking but also social preferences matter in individuals' decision making. By performing distribution experiments in institutional contexts, the author extends assumptions about human behavior to understand actual social economy. The book also aims to enrich behavioral theories of economics directed toward institutional evolution. The author scrutinizes how specific institutional conditions enhance or mute individuals' selfish incentives or their fairness ideals such as egalitarian, performance-based, labor-value radicalism or libertarianism. From experimental results and their analysis, implications for actual problems in social economy and institutional change are derived: why performance-based pay often fails to promote workers' productivity; why labor wages decline whereas shareholder's values increase after financialization; and whether socially responsible investment can be a social institution for corporate governance. The book is also addressed to philosophers of social sciences interested in how experimental methods can contribute to developing cognition of human behaviors and be extended to social theories. Referring to behavioral theorists in the history of economic thought, the author discusses the meanings of experiments in the methodology of social sciences. She also proposes new ways of interpreting experimental results by reviving historic social theories and applying them to actual social problems Nota de contenido: Preface -- I. Introduction: What Experiments Can Do in the History of Economic Thought? : From Adam Smith to Vernon Smith -- II.

Título : Essays on Research Methodology Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Dinesh S. Hegde Editorial: New Delhi : Springer India Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XV, 234 p. 43 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-2214-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Science Economic history Social sciences Economics Methodology/History of Thought Methodology the Sciences Science, general Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: The book presents a collection of essays addressing a perceived need for persistent and logical thinking, critical reasoning, rigor and relevance on the part of researchers pursuing their doctorates. Accordingly, eminent experts have come together to consider these significant aspects of the research process, which result in different knowledge claims in different fields or subject areas. An attempt has been made to find a common denominator across diverse management disciplines, so that the broadest range of researchers can benefit from the book. The topics have been carefully chosen to cover problem formulation, contextualizing, soft & hard modeling, qualitative and quantitative analysis and ethical issues, in addition to the design of experiments and survey-based research. The distinguishing feature of this book is that it recognizes the diverse backgrounds of scholars from different interdisciplinary areas as well as their varying needs with regard to modeling, observations, measurements, aggregation, data analyses, etc. After all, researchers are expected to deepen our understanding, expand on existing information, introduce fresh insights, present new evidence and/or disprove accepted theories, hypotheses etc. More importantly, the book cautions against the over-reliance on software packages and mechanical interpretation of results based on the size, sign and significance of the coefficients obtained. Instead, the focus is on the underlying theories, hypotheses and relationships, and on establishing new ones. In doing so, due care is taken to clearly enunciate what exactly constitutes a knowledge claim and what is methodology as distinct from methods, tools and techniques. Nota de contenido: Chapter 1.

It is written for university students as well as for students of applied sciences. This self-contained book does not assume any previous knowledge of high school mathematics and helps understanding the basics of economic theory-building. Starting from set theory it thoroughly discusses linear and non-linear functions, differential equations, difference equations, and all necessary theoretical constructs for building sound economic models. The authors also present a solid introduction to linear optimisation and game theory using production systems. A detailed discussion on market equilibrium, in particular on Nash Equilibrium, and on non-linear optimisation is also provided. Throughout the book the student is well supplied with numerous examples, some 2000 problems and their solutions to apply the knowledge to economic theories and models Nota de contenido: Sets, Numbers and Vectors -- Production Systems -- Mappings, Functions -- Affine and Linear Functions -- Linear Optimisation, Duality.

Título : The University According to Humboldt : History, Policy, and Future Possibilities Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Jürgen Georg Backhaus Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504 num. 89 Número de páginas: VII, 84 p. 4 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-13856-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Economic history policy Social Economics Methodology/History of Thought Policy Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: This book discusses the philosophy and educational reforms initiated by Wilhelm von Humboldt as well as their legacy in the modern university system. It begins with a discussion of the history of the university from antiquity and the Middle Ages through the era of Humboldt’s reforms and its remnants in and implications for the present day. The authors then delve into policy, outlining the key conflicts that have informed the development of university educational policy, such as the clash between academia and professional education, the coordination of public administration and educational institutions, and the perennial issue of funding. Humboldt’s ideas are then discussed within an economic context, using his principals of the state to analyze the relationship between current models of household and family economics and German economic and social policy. The book is rounded off by a philosophical analysis of the institution of the university and concludes with an update of the remains Humboldt’s reforms within the current university system. With its multidisciplinary approach to the study of higher education reform in Europe and its key players, this book will appeal to scholars of economic history, educational policy, and public administration as well as administrators and policy makers in higher education. Nota de contenido: The University Before Humboldt and After -- Macroculture, Education and Democracy: Lessons from Ancient Greece -- The University according to Humboldt and the Alternatives -- University Studies at Hardenberg’s and Humboldt’s Time and the Professionalization of University Studies Today -- The Lexicographical Utility Function of Fertility Decisions and Humboldt’s Political Principles of the State -- The University: Idea and Practice -- What remains of Humboldt at times of the Bologna Reform?
