Nova Science Publishers Inc Local-Scale Economics: Statistical Indicators and
Book SynopsisThis book proposes an articulated and multidisciplinary research path that introduces to the potential of adopting territorial statistics, namely those elaborated at the level of Local Labour Systems, for carry out spatial analysis of apparent and latent interactions between socioeconomic phenomena and environmental dynamics at a sufficiently broad and efficient geographical unit of analysis. This allows to examine in a more exhaustive manner the complexity and non-linearity of several socio-economic and territorial processes and to address the multidimensional concept of sustainability from below. Studies included in this book contribute to an integrated, multidisciplinary reading that covers the three pillars of sustainability. Italy is relevant case study in this sense and can be assumed as a paradigmatic country also for other advanced European nations that undertook territorial analysis at a very disaggregated spatial level (i.e., UK, Spain, Germany and France among others).Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction: Regional Analysis of Complex Socioeconomic Processes.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Human Capital and Economic Transformation of
Book SynopsisMarket-oriented reforms initiated four decades ago have constantly fueled a high speed of development in China. The country's industrial structure has experienced rapid evolution. In the meantime, especially in the general context of globalization, China has also opened to foreign trade and foreign direct investment, transforming itself from a virtually completely closed economy into a major trading nation and the largest developing-country destination for foreign direct investment in the world. Human capital is thought to be one of the key factors that shape the transformation of the Chinese economy. With different human capital intensities, uneven development is one major issue in the process of China's industrial transformation under new trends of globalization. Substantial disparities across different Chinese regions, e.g. the gaps in regional industrial development and those in incomes and living standards have been one prominent feature of China, and are closely related to different speeds of human capital accumulation. This book therefore aims to explore the potential and actual mechanisms through which human capital accumulation and human capital intensity may affect industrial development and development disparities in China. The book is able to provide the readers with new facts and new findings that shed light on their understanding of important issues related to human capital and economic transformation of China.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at: https://novapublishers.com/shop/human-capital-and-economic-transformation-of-china/

Venezuela's economy has collapsed.

Book SynopsisIn the year since the COVID-19 outbreak was first diagnosed, it has spread to over 200 countries and all U.S. states.

Global trade is estimated to have fallen by 5.3% in 2020, but is projected to grow by 8.0% in 2021.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Economics Perspectives on the Internet
Book SynopsisThe information technology sector of the United States economy, spurred on by the expansion of the Internet, has undergone explosive growth. According to one estimate, in 1998 Internet-related industries led to the creation of over 1.2 million jobs and generated more than $300 billion in revenue. At the same time the Internet has expanded immensely. As of December 1999, it was estimated that more than 4.9 million commercial websites had emerged, and in the closing months of the year, that number was increasing at a rate of almost 500,000 per month. The rapid growth of the ''Information Economy'' has drastically changed the manner in which commercial transactions are conducted, as anything from material goods (such as books) to information goods (such as databases) can be procured with the ease of a mouse click. This essential new book investigates the underlying economics of certain facets of the Internet. By examining recent literature addressing economic aspects of the Internet and electronic commerce, as well as more traditional literature on pricing practices and market structure, this book serves as a roadmap of the current terrain in Internet-related economic matters, as well as a framework for future analysis.
