The Economics of Financial Services in Emerging Markets Measuring the Output of the Banking and Insurance Industries

Any enquiry into the nature performance role demerits growth efficiency or other aspects of financial services such as banking and insurance activities requires rigorous estimates of their economic output i. e. the economic contributions made by these firms as well as by the industries as a whole. Accordingly this book condenses several theoretical methodological empirical and philosophical issues in conceptualizing measuring and empirically operationalizing the economic output of the banking and insurance industries. The analytical focus is on both Global and Emerging Markets perspectives. The book synthesizes applied and conceptual evidence to locate the chosen theme's analytical patterns consensus and disagreements. The selected subject matter is studied within the firm-level and aggregate settings bringing literature of varied scopes together. Contributions from various international academics practitioners and policymakers further enrich the narrative. The book concludes with data-driven case studies that analyze the extent to which the critical performance parameters of the banking and insurance industries in the BRIICS economies – including estimation of aggregate industry-level partial factor productivities total factor productivity technical efficiency and returns to scale – vary concerning alternate measures of their output. The present work also provides a brief note on the inputs measurement dimension following which there is a discussion on the limitations future scope and conclusions. This work will be valuable for researchers and policymakers undertaking performance analyses related to banking and insurance activities. It shall provide them with the examination of a plethora of analytical options and related issues on the theory and praxis of output measurement all finely organized into one single volume. | The Economics of Financial Services in Emerging Markets Measuring the Output of the Banking and Insurance Industries

Arts Government and Community Revitalization

First published in 1999 this book goes beyond the standard economic tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of arts in redevelopment processes. It assumes that the sectors involved in the process of arts-led community revitalization (artists non-profit organizations government and for-profit firms) act upon the economic structure and initiate a resurgence path. This assumption allows us to study the political and economic interaction among these sectors understand their incentives and define and explore their boundaries. This book explores the 1) cultural and regeneration reasons for revitalization; 2) sources of funds; 3) political interaction; 4) definition and estimation of output; 5) evaluation of output; 6) estimation of coefficients and multipliers effects obtained from input-output tables. | Arts Government and Community Revitalization

Interpreting and Visualizing Regression Models Using Stata

Interpreting and Visualizing Regression Models Using Stata Second Edition provides clear and simple examples illustrating how to interpret and visualize a wide variety of regression models. Including over 200 figures the book illustrates linear models with continuous predictors (modeled linearly using polynomials and piecewise) interactions of continuous predictors categorical predictors interactions of categorical predictors and interactions of continuous and categorical predictors. The book also illustrates how to interpret and visualize results from multilevel models models where time is a continuous predictor models with time as a categorical predictor nonlinear models (such as logistic or ordinal logistic regression) and models involving complex survey data. The examples illustrate the use of the margins marginsplot contrast and pwcompare commands. This new edition reflects new and enhanced features added to Stata most importantly the ability to label statistical output using value labels associated with factor variables. As a result output regarding marital status is labeled using intuitive labels like Married and Unmarried instead of using numeric values such as 1 and 2. All the statistical output in this new edition capitalizes on this new feature emphasizing the interpretation of results based on variables labeled using intuitive value labels. Additionally this second edition illustrates other new features such as using transparency in graphics to more clearly visualize overlapping confidence intervals and using small sample-size estimation with mixed models. If you ever find yourself wishing for simple and straightforward advice about how to interpret and visualize regression models using Stata this book is for you.

Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

In this study author Caroline Huey analyzes the copious literary output of medieval poet and barber-surgeon Hans Folz in all its variety-whether Meisterlied Reimpaarspruch or carnival play. Heretofore published research to do with Folz's multifaceted and compelling oeuvre has been fragmentary because scholars have restricted themselves by genre in examining themes in Folz's work. By integrating the different themes across Folz's output and by integrating consideration (previously neglected by earlier critics) of Folz's role as barber-surgeon Huey offers new insights as to the interaction of these themes and to the character of the poet's work overall. She shows that ultimately Folz is concerned with the circulation of knowledge and power correct and incorrect behavior and above all with finding order. In each chapter Huey examines a particular theme from Folz's life and/or work. She looks at how adeptly he commandeers the new technology of printing to further his own ends; how his ubiquitous physicality connects his medical body to his Christian body; his attitude toward women; and the anti-Jewish thread in his work. | Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

Originally published in 1967 this was the first book to discuss why agricultural supply became more ‘responsive’ and to provide broadly based evidence of the ways in which that ‘responsiveness’ may have influenced the growth of the economy. The editor chose 7 essays reprinted in full to illustrate altered perspectives of agricultural change. His substantial introduction places the beginnings of a significant rise in farm output as far back as the mid-seventeenth century and concludes that agriculture played a vital but complicated role in the economy of eighteenth-century England. | Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised

The essays in this volume first published in 1989 seek to re-examine an important area of economic theory: value and distribution. In a sustained and analytical critique two principle methodological approaches are compared and distinguished: the Classical or ‘surplus-based’ theories and the demand-and-supply-based equilibrium (DSE) theories. Although the essays are primarily concerned with value and distribution the critique necessarily extends to the theory of output and employment and in general to the theory of trade and accumulation. The book will be an invaluable reader for students of economic thought capital theory and Marxian political economy. | Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised
