  • Handbook of Commercial Policy

    • 1st Edition

    Handbook of Commercial Policy explores three main topics that permeate the study of commercial policy. The first section presents a broad set of basic empirical facts regarding the pattern and evolution of commercial policy, with the second section investigating the crosscutting legal issues relating to the purpose and design of agreements. Final sections cover key issues of commercial policy in the modern global economy. Every chapter in the book provides coverage from the perspectives of multilateral, and where appropriate, preferential trade agreements.

    • Abstracts
    • English
    Biosensors 94: The Third World Congress on Biosensors Abstracts focuses on the progress in the field of biosensors, including immuno-absorbent 'catch' system, surface plasmon resonance, and chemiluminescence. The selection first offers information on the development of a commercial multichannel clinical sensor chip; commercial development and application of biosensors; amperometric biosensors based on dehydrogenase/NAD and heterocyclic quinones; and enzyme-epoxy membrane based semi-automated glucose analyzing system. The text then takes a look at the orientation of antibody fragments to increase TIRF immunosensor efficiency and the development of latex-technology for specific DNA detection with surface plasmon resonance. The book elaborates on gas-phase biosensor for the determination of ethanol vapor; novel electrochemical gas phase biosensors for the detection of phenolic vapors; and the development of an immuno-absorbent 'catch' system for the detection of pesticides and pesticide analogues. The book also ponders on the kinetics of binding of immobilized antibodies under nonequilibrium, flow conditions; flow injection thin-layer cell immunosensor with chemiluminescent detection of peroxidase label; and new optical fiber sensor for detecting chemiluminescence and its application to immunoassay. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in biosensors.

  • International Finance in the New World Order

    • 1st Edition

    Some of the most important developments of the last quarter century relate to the internationalization of financial issues: the advent of free trade areas; the efforts of the European Union in establishing a single currency; burdens of international indebtedness; and the economic growth and development of nations.Internationa... financial systems are increasingly fragile and vulnerable in the face of possible international financial shock. Exchange rate issues and other changes in financial conditions have profound consequences not only for multinational corporations which have to devise new ways of managing their global operations, but also for firms and industries at the national level.The papers in this book confront these and other problems in international finance that have arisen in recent years, seeking to identify causal linkages at the global, national and company levels.

  • Labour Unions and the Theory of International Trade

    • 1st Edition

    • M.C. Kemp + 2 more
    • English
    This book provides a theory of trade between countries in at least one of which the pattern of competitive markets is disturbed by a powerful national labour union and in which, therefore, wage distortions are endogenous; the book then proceeds to re-examine the several comparative-equilibr... questions of conventional trade theory. In addition, several questions are confronted which can be posed only in the new framework.In Chapters II and III, two well-known models of production and trade are taken. In Chapter IV the analysis of Chapter II is reconsidered under the assumption that there is a strong labour union in each trading country. Chapters V-VII broaden the scope of analysis by allowing for capital accumulation and its interaction with union policies.

The author presents an in-depth study of traditional land tenure in Taita, Kenya, where the implementation of birth control programmes and the individualization of land tenure have failed to eradicate rural poverty and have brought about other sociopsychological problems.

  • Reviving Private Investment in Developing Countries

    Empirical Studies and Policy Lessons
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 208
    • A. Chhibber + 2 more
    • English
    The aim of the research described in this volume is to examine the behavior of private domestic investment in a sample of seven developing economies: Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Morocco, Turkey, and Zimbabwe. The studies represent a first step toward understanding the investment process in developing countries and the scope for government policy to affect private capital formation. Such issues will become increasingly important in the future as more developing countries try to encourage private investment.Four key issues emerge in the analysis of the determinants of private investment and its role in adjustment programs in developing countries. The first is the impact of changes in the exchange rate; the second major concern is the existence of crowding out of private activity as a result of government borrowing in domestic financial markets through interest rates or quantity rationing. A third and related issue is whether government spending, particularly that on investment, "crowds in" or "crowds out" private capital formation. Fourth, the effects of uncertainty are important in determining the response of private agents to changes in the incentive structure.

  • The Common Agricultural Policy beyond the MacSharry Reform

    • English
    The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which is now being implemented, reduces the support for a selected number of agricultural products. This book uses welfare theory and applied general equilibrium analysis to assess the medium to long term consequences of this reform, if the new policies remain in place until the beginning of the next century. It analyses the implications of two alternative scenarios: a) a further trade liberalisation covering all commodities; and b) increased protectionism with high prices, constraints on production and export subsidies (financed by the farmers themselves). The study also investigates the implications of financial renationalisation, whereby the European Union member-states would cover the costs of their own support measures.

  • Vertical Specialization and Trade Surplus in China

    • 1st Edition
    • Wei Wang
    • English
    The traditional flow of goods from primary production through to manufacturing and consumption has expanded across international borders conterminously with globalization. Vertical specialization (VS) in processing and manufacturing in China has driven export growth. In particular, intra-industry and intra-product trade between China, the US and East Asia has increased China’s trade surplus over the long term. Vertical Specialization and Trade Surplus in China aims to measure the level of VS in the Chinese manufacturing industry to provide a more accurate representation of China’s trade surplus, and gives empirical analysis on provinces and products with important VS activities in order to assess China’s trade value-added. Exploring the vertical division of labour, and foreign direct investment (FDI) driving China’s import and export imbalance, the book is divided into eight chapters, each covering an aspect of VS in China. The first chapter outlines the aims and method of the study. Chapter two covers VS trade pattern and trade surplus. Chapter three looks at FDI and the import and export imbalance, and chapter four covers the relationship between VS and import and export of foreign invested enterprises. The fifth chapter considers the causes and prospects for growth in China-US and China-Japan trade. Chapters six and seven give an empirical analysis of VS and trade surplus, and a breakdown of VS per industry in China’s provinces. Finally, chapter eight considers rebalancing imports and exports in China.
