In February 2007 I participated in the Global Outreach Summer School Program organised by the Johannes Kepler University in Linz (Austria) and by the Indian Institution of Planning and Management (IIPM) in New Delhi (India). During this stay I gained a lot of insight into Indian culture as I was placed with a local family. I had the unique chance to take part in the every day life of an Indian family and to learn from them about tradition and Indian values. In one of the economic classes I attended I was told that India was an economic island with very little economic contact to the outside before 1991. However while at the campus I saw Indian students with Western clothes and using technological devices just as Western students do....

The process was promised to be accompanied by a stimulation of the EU economies and should be to the best of all 25 member states. But what does the real picture actually look like? What has changed since May 1, 2004, and how has the life of the new Member States? citizens and businesses been affected?

In western societies, organic agriculture is highly institutionalised as an approach to sustainable farming. In this development, a vast number of standards and rules have been constructed by rather diverse rule-makers. Despite EU’s attempt to harmonise rules and standards for organic agriculture, the diversity of rule-makers has resulted in differences in standards and problems of inefficient markets. This book addresses the issue by providing an increased understanding of how such rule-making activities are created nationally. The analysis is based on a comparative study of Denmark and Sweden. Although the cases illustrate two modes of governance: in the former, rule-making is formally internalized in the State and in the latter, in...

Jalisco’s corn producers from the Cienega province are locked in a cycle of low profitability. The corn producers have been affected by the lack of access to adequate financial intermediaries such as banks. The cycle of low profitability contributes towards a low quality of life and a lack of competitiveness. Hence, farmers have not been able to adjust to the fierce competition from the US producers. A lack of trustworthy collateral is a major problem in order to get access to credits. The grain receipts system (GRS) provides a method of collateralizing crops for access to credits. With the GRS the risk is not intended to be eliminated; instead it is a mechanism where the risk is shared between the corn producers, elevators and banks...

Most cross-sectional deviation of international capital structure is caused by the heterogeneities of firm-, industry-, and country-specific determinants rather than by legal environment. In particular, most variations observed from international capital structure arise from the heterogeneity of firm-specific characteristics. Collateral value of assets, firm size, and debt- related tax shield benefit are generally viewed as the most influential factors in determining corporate leverage decision. If the heterogeneities at the level of firm, industry, and country are controlled, the English common-law countries surprisingly appear to rely highly on debt-leverage, whereas the German civil-law countries are likely to be least levered. This...

Forest policies in India have historically been ‘top-down’ strategies aimed at ensuring that local populations do not degrade forests. However, recent policy mandates have shifted toward ‘bottom-up’ and community-based approaches. This recognition of the role of local communities in protecting, managing and conserving the forest commons is laudable. Yet without an understanding of what community management actually entails, such approaches may lead to disappointments with respect to conservation and development goals. It could also stymie efforts to democratize access to, and control of the commons. While it is tempting to valorize local communities, research suggests that not all communities have been successful in their efforts...

As an emerging market, Turkey has experienced the problem of economic instability with highly volatile inflation from the 1980s to the early 2000s. This book describes the Turkish government's housing policy for financing the public sector housing during the late 1990s and evaluates the performance of inflation-indexed mortgage contract, designed for middle-income civil servants. It demonstrates the use of Option pricing models to price the credit risk of inflation-indexed mortgages. The emphasis on using a backward pricing method rather...

The main objective of this work is to identify how multinational companies (MNCs) act as negotiators in the context of international governance. The main hypothesis is that MNCs try to influence the states and their coalitions, nationally and transnationally, by exercising their structural power as well as their soft power. The defense of their corporate interests depends on the confluence of their interests with those of the states as well as the states' vulnerabilities to the corporations' activities. In the first part of the book, I present the theoretical framework related to the Complex Interdependence Theory and the three-level chessboard of Nye. I recognize the limitations of the MNCs' influence power through an extension of the...

My intention is not just to provide a guide outlining with do's and dont's like a recipe, but I have chosen a more complex and dynamic approach.

This book evaluates the welfare impacts of trade liberalization and their distributional effects on stakeholders in Kenya’s maize sectorusing a partial equilibrium model (PEM) of trade, which accounts for market interrelationships at the farm, wholesale and retail levels is developed. The simulations results suggest that tariff reductions yield price decreases across the three market levels. The declining prices increase maize consumption but...

The connection between the trade policy and economic performance has been debated for more than one century. The issues regarding trade liberalization are still a subject of the further theoretical discussion and the empirical investigation, because of the contradiction of the larger empirical literature on the trade policy and economic performance. Thus, the main aim of this book is to investigate the effects of trade liberalization and integration on the foreign trade flows. We are based on the existing theories of the effects of trade liberalization on the economy and particularly the theoretical and empirical applications in the trade literature to estimate critically the implications of trade liberalization on the economic...
