Econometrics
by Badi H. BaltagiHere at last is the fourth edition of the textbook that is required reading for economics students as well as those practising applied economics. Not only does it teach some of the basic econometric methods and the underlying assumptions behind them, but it also includes a simple and concise treatment of more advanced topics from spatial correlation to time series analysis. This book’s strength lies in its ability to present complex material in a simple, yet rigorous manner. This superb fourth edition updates identification and estimation methods in the simultaneous equation model. It also reviews the problem of weak instrumental variables as well as updating panel data methods.
Econometrics
by Badi H. BaltagiThis book is intended for a first year graduate course in econometrics. However, the first six chapters have no matrix algebra and can be used in an advanced undergraduate class. This can be supplemented by some of the material in later chapters that do not require matrix algebra, like the first part of Chapter 11 on simultaneous equations and Chapter 14 on time-series analysis. This book teaches some of the basic econometric methods and the underlying assumptions behind them. Estimation, hypotheses testing and prediction are three recurrent themes in this book. Some uses of econometric methods include (i) empirical testing of economic t- ory, whether it is the permanent income consumption theory or purchasing power parity, (ii) forecasting, whether it is GNP or unemployment in the U.S. economy or future sales in the c- puter industry. (iii) Estimation of price elasticities of demand, or returns to scale in production. More importantly, econometric methods can be used to simulate the effect of policy changes like a tax increase on gasoline consumption, or a ban on advertising on cigarette consumption.

The Sustainability of Health Care Systems in Europe (Contributions to Economic Analysis #295)
by Badi H. Baltagi Francesco MosconeThis volume contains an Open Access Chapter The Sustainability of Health Care Systems in Europe provides a comprehensive understanding of the sustainability of health systems in Europe. Furthermore, it includes an introduction to how EU action in supporting health- care policies in the EU Member States, looking both at implemented actions and describing current priorities for the future. There has been a rapid evolution of the structure of society and the economy over the last few decades which has created new demands for healthcare services. This has placed pressure on policy makers to ensure the sustainability of the health care sector. Policy makers understand the efficiency of the healthcare delivery system needs to be improved, the shortage of health professionals must be tackled, and that there are growing health inequalities and inequity in access to healthcare. These challenges are exacerbated by recent economic shocks including the 2008 recession, the uncertainty related to Brexit, and the crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which have impacted the ability of European health systems to finance the health care sector. This book is a must read for researchers and students of health economics and health policy.
The Economics of COVID-19 (Contributions to Economic Analysis #296)
by Badi H. Baltagi Francesco Moscone Elisa TosettiThe global health crisis, exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak, has challenged all sectors of society, including health, economics, finance, and social inequality. The threats and complexities from the COVID-19 pandemic shock are the core subject of this latest volume in the Contributions to Economic Analysis series. The Economics of COVID-19 contains selected contributions analysing the effects of this pandemic, covering macroeconomics, computable general equilibrium models, financial markets, the reduction in seismic noise due to the slowdown in traffic and economic activities caused by the spread of the virus, the rapid surge in the digital transformation of production and consumption. Also included are health studies proposing to improve the traditional epidemic models, the effects of the pandemic on mental health, Minority Ethnic Groups in the UK, as well as the Lombardy region in Italy. The aim of this collection is to spur much needed research into the effects of COVID on the global economy, the health, and financial sectors, as well as its effects on development and growth and economic inequality.

Economic Interdependence and Cooperation in Europe (Studies in International Economics and Institutions)
by Nicholas C. Baltas George Demopoulos Joseph HassidEconomic integration is the most noteworthy development in international economic policy at the end of this century. Enthusiasm for the European Union has been infectuous. Yet, there are many aspects for the EU that still remain obscure and which warrant further careful scrutiny. The subject of this book is the examination of the inherent economic and political inefficiencies in the transition process of Central and East European countries which are apt to slow down its pace, divert it from its proper course and, in some cases, even endanger its sustainability. The authors of the contributions in this book, economists and political scientists, investigate the applicability of the hyperthesis of mutual benefits resulting from countries in transition becoming open to international trade and investment.
Theorie des Bankverhaltens (Studies in Contemporary Economics)
by Ernst Baltensperger Hellmuth MildeEine mikroökonomische Theorie des Bankverhaltens ist ein unverzichtbares Element für ein Verständis der Funktionsweise der Finanz- und Kreditmärkte und des Geldangebotsprozesses. Aus diesem Bedürfnis heraus ist während der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte, besonders im angelsächsischen Raum, eine inzwischen recht umfangreiche Literatur entstanden, welche versucht, das Verhalten der Bankunternehmung mikroökonomisch zu modellieren und erklären. Risiko, Informationsunvollständigkeiten und Anpassungskosten spielen in diesen Ansätzen eine zentrale Rolle. Diese Literatur, die im deutschen Sprachraum bisher nur beschränkt Eingang gefunden hat, ist durch offene Fragen in zahlreichen Bereichen gekennzeichnet. Eine Reihe von teilweise sehr unterschiedlichen und nur lose miteinander verbundenen Modellansätzen existiert nebeneinander. Die vorliegende Monographie ist ein Versuch einer kohärenten Darstellung und Weiterentwicklung dieser Literatur. Die Sichtweise der Arbeit ist primär volkswirtschaftlich.

Einsatz und Erfolg von Controlling-Instrumenten: Begriffsbestimmung, empirische Untersuchung und Erfolgsbeurteilung (Unternehmensführung & Controlling)
by Björn BaltzerControlling-Instrumente sind nicht nur von herausragender Bedeutung für Forschung und Lehre, sondern stellen zugleich den Schwerpunkt des Controllings in der Unternehmenspraxis dar. Nichtsdestotrotz hat sich die Wissenschaft bislang kaum mit dem praktischen Einsatz von Controlling-Instrumenten beschäftigt. Björn Baltzer geht in seiner Untersuchung daher insbesondere der Fragestellung nach, wann der Einsatz von Controlling-Instrumenten als erfolgreich bezeichnet werden kann. Basierend auf einem wertschöpfungsorientierten Controlling-Verständnis zeigt er praxisgerechte Ansätze auf, mittels derer sich der Erfolg des Einsatzes von Controlling-Instrumenten beurteilen lässt.
The Impact of Climate Change and Sustainability Standards on the Insurance Market
by Balamurugan Balusamy Kiran Sood Simon Grima Peter C. Young Ercan OzenThe Impact of CLIMATE CHANGE and SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS on the INSURANCE MARKET The book explores the role of the insurance industry in contributing and responding to the harms that climate change has brought. This book delves into the physical and logical impacts, both direct and indirect, on the insurance industry. Subjects discussed include new technology such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, the growth of sustainable economics with foreign direct investments (FDIs), trustworthiness, and ethics. Related use cases of data science for claim processing, fraud detection and prevention, policy administration, pricing, and underwriting are discussed along with cyber security issues, data protection, and big data regulatory reforms. To promote ESG sustainability, the insurance industry plays a critical and significant role. Climate-related risks are being factored into underwriting and investing strategies. Through their own operations and business activities, insurers may promote the ESG agenda and move towards sustainability. Also discussed are promoting diversity and inclusion, lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resolving gender inequality, and helping communities through charitable work, which all improve a company’s brand, reputation, and ESG credentials. Audience The book is specially designed for administrators, lecturers, researchers, students of insurance and sustainability, students in financial services, insurance practitioners, actuaries, loss adjusters, underwriters, regulators, facilities management, utility companies, voluntary organizations, government departments, business leaders, policymakers, decision-makers, investors, risk managers, compliance managers, and audit managers amongst many others.

Montageplanung-effizient und marktgerecht (VDI-Buch)
by P. BalveDie Qualität von Produkten wird heute vorausgesetzt und reicht somit als Differenzierungs- und damit Erfolgskriterium nicht mehr aus. Entscheidend sind vielmehr Lieferzeit, Termintreue, Variantenreichtum und Preis. Bei all diesen Kriterien nimmt die Montage eine Schlüsselrolle ein. Hier setzen die Autoren an. Das Ziel der in diesem Buch beschriebenen Projekte ist deshalb eine zeit-, mengen- und artflexible Gestaltung der Montage unter Berücksichtigung der Wirtschaftlichkeit. Dabei gehen die Autoren konsequent von den jeweiligen Marktanforderungen aus. Die einzelnen Strukturierungselemente wie Planung und Steuerung, Prozeßgestaltung oder Arbeitsorganisation werden entsprechend berücksichtigt. Ein nützlicher Leitfaden mit Praxisberichten, Vorgehensmodellen und Checklisten.
