Handbook of Utility Theory

Salvador Barbera, Peter J. Hammond, Christian Seidl, Salvador Barbara


  Handbook of Utility Theory  Salvador Barbera, Peter J. Hammond, Christian Seidl, Salvador Barbara  The standard rationality hypothesis implies that behaviour can be represented as the maximization of a suitably restricted utility function. This hypothesis lies at the heart of a large body of recent work in economics, of course, but also in political science, ethics, and other major branches of social sciences. Though this utility maximization hypothesis is venerable, it remains an area of active research. Moreover, some fundamental conceptual problems remain unresolved, or at best have resolutions that are too recent to have achieved widespread understanding among social scientists. The main purpose of the Handbook of Utility Theory is to make more widely available some recent developments in the area. The editors selected a number of specific topics, and invited contributions from researchers whose work had come to their attention. So the list of topics and contributions is largely the editors' responsibility. Each contributor's chapter has been refereed, and revised in the light...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин The standard rationality hypothesis implies that behaviour can be represented as the maximization of a suitably restricted utility function.

Restructuring Sovereign Debt: The Case for Ad Hoc Machinery

Lex Rieffel


  Restructuring Sovereign Debt: The Case for Ad Hoc Machinery  Lex Rieffel  The Western powers established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank after World War II as The Western powers established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank after World War II as "permanent machinery" to anchor the Bretton Woods system. When developing countries began experiencing debt problems in the late 1960s, the Paris Club took shape as "ad hoc machinery" to restructure debt from export credit agencies. A decade later the London Club process emerged to handle workouts of commercial bank debt. Restructuring debt in the form of bonds became an issue in the late 1990s in Argentina and several other nations, and the IMF recently proposed a permanent mechanism to deal with that challenge. Restructuring Sovereign Debt explains why ad hoc machinery would function more effectively in the Bretton Woods system. By describing in detail the origins and operations of the London Club and Paris Club, Lex Rieffel highlights the pragmatism and flexibility associated with ad hoc approaches. He also recalls earlier proposals for creating permanent debt......

Asian States, Asian Bankers: Central Banking in Southeast Asia (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

Natasha Hamilton-Hart


  Asian States, Asian Bankers: Central Banking in Southeast Asia (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)  Natasha Hamilton-Hart  Financial markets are given to instability, but some financial systems are more crisis-prone than others. Natasha Hamilton-Hart's historically grounded investigation of central banks, governments, and private bankers in Southeast Asia helps explain why. Focusing on Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, she shows how the long-term development and internal attributes of central banks and state financial institutions shape their interactions with private bankers and influence their ability to manage thefinancial sector. The politics of finance in Southeast Asia is understudied, Hamilton-Hart contends, and central banks themselves virtually ignored. Yet central banks play a pivotal role in determining a country's vulnerability to regional and global financial pressures such as the currency and financial crises of the late 1990s. Southeast Asian central bankers were major players in the events surrounding these upheavals. Countries in the region experienced the economic chaos...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Financial markets are given to instability, but some financial systems are more crisis-prone than others.
