Título : Political Determinants of Income Inequality in Emerging Democracies Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Takeshi Kawanaka ; Yasushi Hazama ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Singapore : Springer Singapore Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504 Número de páginas: IX, 112 p. 13 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-981-10-0257-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Political economy Development economics Economics Economy Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This study explores why democratization does not necessarily result in inequality reduction in emerging democracies and reveals the determinants of income inequality in emerging democracies, where the average level of inequality continues to be higher and where there is a larger variance of inequality levels than in advanced democracies. Apart from economic, demographic, and social factors, the book highlights political factors that obstruct redistributive policies. In contrast to conventional studies on advanced democracies, which emphasize the relations between different classes, this study asserts that several political factors cause malfunctioning of democratic institutions at various phases of the political process in emerging democracies: multidimensional preferences, the failure of the political market, and weak state capacity. The book employs econometric methods to examine the effects of these political factors. The results indicate their significant effects. The multilevel analysis using the World Values Survey demonstrates that multidimensional preferences, operationalized as ethnic fractionalization, weaken demand for income inequality. Political market quality and state capacity are measured by the age of the largest opposition party, and the Quality of Government indicator is used for the unbalanced panel analysis covering the 1985-2012 period for 75 democracies. Both political market quality and state capacity reduce inequality, but the latter takes more time to show its effect Nota de contenido: 1. Introduction -- 2. Theory -- 3.

Título : Political, Economic and Financial Country Risk : Analysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Mohamed A. Ramady ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XXII, 281 p. 95 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-02177-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Political economy Comparative politics Economics Management science Economics, general Economy Politics Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: “Decades go by and nothing happens; then weeks go by and decades happen”. This apt saying encapsulates the dramatic convulsions taking place across the Arab world that first erupted in 2011 in Tunisia and which rapidly spread to other countries. These events have affected the lives of ordinary citizens in many more ways than had been intended when the ‘Arab Spring’ broke out, with the endgame still not very clear as demonstrated in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya. By comparison, with some exceptions, the six countries comprising the Gulf Cooperation Council have been relatively unaffected by the general turbulence and uncertainties lapping around them. However, geopolitical shifts involving global superpower rivalries, combined with revolutionary breakthroughs in the non-conventional hydrocarbon energy sector are threatening to challenge the importance of the Arabian Gulf as the world’s leading suppliers of energy, putting their economies under fiscal stress. The author examines such challenges by: • Providing the first in-depth statistical analytical assessment of the GCC countries using monthly data over the period 2001 -2013 for the three risk categories- economic, financial and political risks- and their sub –components so as to enable policymakers enhance components with low risk , while addressing components with perceived higher risk, • Assessing FDI and capital inflows and outflows before and after the “Arab Spring” , and how to encourage FDI inflows, • Inter –Arab and GCC trade and synergies in power transmission , transportation links and establishing new hubs of centers of manufacturing excellence , • Exploring private sector-led growth models to reduce forecasted unemployment. Being complacent is not an option for the GCC. The aim of the book is that having a better understanding of each of the GCC countries’ individual risk parameters will enable the GCC meet future challenges and reduce the chances of a negative ‘Arab Spring’ occurring in the region. Mohamed Ramady is a Visiting Associate Professor at the Department of Finance and Economics, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. His main research interests are the economics of the Middle East and Saudi Arabia in particular, as well as money and banking He also held senior positions with international financial institutions in the Arabian Gulf and Europe Nota de contenido: Part I -- Foundation and Key concepts -- GCC Country Risk and the " Arab Spring " -- Country Risk assessments -- Part II : Indicators of Country Risk analysis -- Indicators of Financial Risk -- Determinants of Country economic risk -- Country political risk contents -- Part III : GCC Country economic , financial and political risk analysis -- Kingdom of Saudi Arabia risk analysis -- State of Kuwait risk analysis -- State of Qatar risk analysis -- Kingdom of Bahrain risk analysis -- Sultanate of Oman risk analysis -- United Arab Emirates risk analysis -- GCC Composite Risk : Political risk at the core -- Part IV: Current Challenges -- GCC Inward and Outward Foreign Direct Investment and Capital Flows -- GCC countries and the "Arab Spring: : shielded but not immune -- Conclusions and Recommendations -- Bibliography -- Index En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02177-5 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35989 Political, Economic and Financial Country Risk : Analysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council [documento electrónico] / Mohamed A.

Título : The Future of Work in Information Society : Political-Economic Arguments Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Andrzej Piotr Wierzbicki ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504 Número de páginas: X, 72 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-33909-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Political economy Public policy Computers and civilization Labor economics Economics Economy Society Policy Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book investigates the question as to whether technological developments will ultimately mean the end of work and, if so, what the consequences will be. The author addresses this question from the perspective of a technologist well versed in econometrics and game theory, and argues that it is not technology alone that could lead to the end of work, but its utilization by the capitalist system. Technology allows us to minimize the costs of work and increase profits, while the system is worsening unemployment, socio-economic inequality and stratification - which could lead to the end of capitalism in a massive global revolution. As such, the book proposes an evolutionary reform based on a seemingly minor but in fact essential correction of the corporate income tax, which he proposes should decrease in accordance with the percentage of the enterprise's revenues expended to pay employee salaries. In this way, entrepreneurs will be motivated to implement new professions and occupations, as well as new workplaces. Only in this way, the book argues, can reforms be used to prevent the end of work, which would have catastrophic consequences Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Ethical Premises and Values -- Technical Progress in Economics, Market and Democracy and Informational Revolution -- The End of Communism and the Beginning of an End of Capitalism -- A Vision of Informed Society and a Sustainable Redistribution System -- Who will be Adverse? -- Final Conclusions En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-33909-2 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42253 The Future of Work in Information Society : Political-Economic Arguments [documento electrónico] / Andrzej Piotr Wierzbicki ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2016 . - X, 72 p : online resource. - (SpringerBriefs in Economics, ISSN 2191-5504) .

Organización de empresas Resumen: Political economy focuses on issues that are fundamental to individual and collective well-being and rests on the proposition that economic phenomena do not occur in isolation from social and political processes. One leading Australian political economist is Frank Stilwell. Highlights of his work include concerns with the creation and use of wealth, inequalities between rich and poor, the spatial implications of economic growth, and the tensions between economic growth and the environment. Stilwell has been especially prominent in developing alternative economic policies, with seminal contributions to understanding the radical shift in Australian economic and social policies since the early 1980s. He has also been a leader in the teaching of political economy to many cohorts of first-year university students. This collection, spanning these themes, honours Stilwell’s contribution to Australian political economy after more than 40 years teaching at the University of Sydney. The book provides not only an opportunity to appreciate his contribution but also a greater understanding of these themes which remain of crucial contemporary relevance Nota de contenido: Foreword -- Part I: Introduction -- Part II: Contesting Economic Ideas -- Part III: Teaching Political Economy -- Part IV: Economic Inequality -- Part V: Economic Policies -- Part VI: Cities and Regions -- Part VII: A Green Economy -- Part VIII: Conclusion En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36121-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36117 Challenging the Orthodoxy : Reflections on Frank Stilwell's Contribution to Political Economy [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Schroeder, Susan K ; Lynne Chester . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - X, 274 p. 12 illus : online resource.
