Employment Protection Legislation - Per Skedinger - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Employment Protection Legislation - Per Skedinger - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

`In this book, Per Skedinger gives an excellent and balanced survey and evaluation of both the theoretical prediction and the empirical research about the consequences of legislated employment protection.'' - From the foreword by Assar Lindbeck Employment protection legislation is one of the most controversial issues in the labour market. In this insightful book, Per Skedinger provides an overview of the design, evolution and research on the effects of employment protection legislation around the world. Most countries have some form of employment protection legislation. Against a background of high and rising unemployment in many countries, politicians and representatives of unions and businesses often have differing views as to the desirability, effects and distributional consequences of the legislation. The book covers more than one hundred international studies, dealing with the impact of legislation on productivity, personnel turnover, structural change, perceived job security, and the aggregate level and distribution of employment and unemployment. Being the first comprehensive and up-to-date survey available of economic research on the effects of employment protection, this book will appeal to researchers in economics, industrial relations and law, as well as to policymakers and practitioners dealing with employment protection issues in government, business and trade unions.

The Entrepreneurship Research Challenge - Per Davidsson - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Entrepreneurship Research Challenge - Per Davidsson - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Entrepreneurship is an emerging, dynamic and to a considerable extent, unpredictable phenomenon. Thus, it makes for a challenging research subject. In this book, one of the most experienced empiricists in the field has collected some of his most important ideas on how improved conceptualization and research design can make this challenge more manageable. Per Davidsson addresses questions such as: What precisely is entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship research? What unique contribution can it make compared with research in other fields? Conversely, how can scholars with different disciplinary backgrounds best contribute to the study of entrepreneurship? What does the emergent and highly diverse nature of entrepreneurship imply for research design? And what is required from entrepreneurship researchers - and practitioners - in order for the research to make strong contributions to business and policy practice? This comprehensive, in-depth account of how the emergence of new entrepreneurial activity can be studied will be warmly welcomed by researchers and academics in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation and methodology and research design.

Entrepreneurship and the Growth of Firms - Per Davidsson - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Entrepreneurship and the Growth of Firms - Per Davidsson - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What characterizes the phenomenon of (small) firm growth, and how can it best be studied? Why and how do firms grow - and why don''t they? Is firm growth externally determined or the result of managers'' visions and actions? What are the different paths that firms follow in order to achieve high growth? Is growth evidence of entrepreneurship - and is growth always desirable? In this book, three leading scholars have integrated some of their most important research in order to answer these questions on firm growth. The result is a volume that builds on studies of many thousands of firms in several different projects. It offers deep insights into the firm growth phenomenon and how it can be studied. This research-based study promises to be a valuable resource for academics and students focussing on business and management, and, more specifically, entrepreneurship. Researchers who aspire to design and conduct further studies leading to deeper and better established insights into firm growth will also find the book invaluable, as will those who encourage and assist firm growth as part of their profession.

Linking EU Climate and Energy Policies - Per Ove Eikeland - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Linking EU Climate and Energy Policies - Per Ove Eikeland - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Based on an innovative theoretical framework combining theories of EU policy making, negotiation and implementation, this comprehensive book examines EU climate and energy policies from the early 1990s until the adoption of new policies for 2030. The authors investigate how the linking of climate and energy concerns in policy packages has facilitated agreement among EU leaders with very different policy ambitions. Employing in-depth studies from a diverse range of energy-economic countries, the book also explores the impact of the implementation of policies on the climate and energy policy framework and the Energy Union initiative. Social scientists and researchers in EU climate and energy policies will find the new empirical data and theoretical approach useful to their work. Students of the social sciences and politics will also benefit from the accessible overview of EU climate and energy policy development. This book will also be of interest to private and public decision-makers looking for explanations for the causes and consequences of EU climate and energy policy development.

China and the Global Energy Crisis - Tatsu Kambara - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

China and the Global Energy Crisis - Tatsu Kambara - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

China''s rapid economic development is having profound implications for energy resources. China has always been exceptionally reliant on its abundant coal, but consumption of oil and gas have grown rapidly since reform began in the 1980s. In spite of vigorous domestic development - most recently in the Tarim Basin - China is now consuming approximately 8 per cent of the world''s oil output but producing only 4 per cent. China''s emergence as an energy importer has given rise to concerns that it is a major contributor to recent turmoil in energy markets. This book examines China''s record of oil and gas development, its refining capacity, and energy prospects. The authors conclude that there are no fundamental reasons for anxiety about China''s demands on the world energy economy, but they emphasize that its energy future will depend critically on a continuation of reform and internationalization. China and the Global Energy Crisis is a concise but detailed study of these issues. This book will appeal not only to readers concerned with China and energy issues, but also to a wider readership seeking to understand China''s development and its global meaning.

An Employment-Targeted Economic Program for Kenya - Robert Pollin - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Kenyan economy has experienced improved economic growth in recent years, and the government has maintained a commitment to generating 500,000 new jobs per year. But the country still faces severe problems of poverty-level employment - people working full-time yet living with their families in poverty. This study develops detailed proposals for greatly expanding decent employment opportunities in Kenya, and to accomplish this in a manner that also creates a wide range of employment and business opportunities, including those for small and medium-sized enterprises, agricultural small holders, commercial banks, and microfinance institutions.

The World’s Wine Markets - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The World’s Wine Markets - GardnersGXC - Bog - Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This absorbing book examines the period of massive structural adjustment taking place in the wine industry. For many centuries wine was very much a European product. While that is still the case today - three-quarters of world wine production, consumption and trade involve Europe and most of the rest involves just a handful of New World countries settled by Europeans - the importance of exports from non-European countries has risen dramatically over the past decade. The World''s Wine Markets includes an in-depth look at the growth and impact of New World wine production on the Old World producers, revealing that between 1990 and 2001, the New World''s combined share of world wine exports grew from 4 to 18 per cent, or from 10 to 35 per cent when intra-European Union trade is excluded. Original essays, by economists from each of the major wine producing and consuming regions in the world, analyse recent developments and future trends, and conclude that globalization of the industry is set to continue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore they argue that with increasing globalization, there is a greater need than ever for systematic analysis of the world''s wine markets. This fascinating work will appeal greatly to students enrolled in wine marketing and business courses, those studying industrial organization, and economists and other social scientists interested in case studies of globalization at work. As well, wine industry participants interested in understanding the reasons behind the recent dramatic developments in the industry will find this rigorously analytical yet accessible book of great value.
