Nova Science Publishers Inc Entrepreneurship Incubators & Economic Growth: An
Book SynopsisThe immense importance of entrepreneurship in supporting the growth dynamic of regions / nations is widely accepted. This, however, has not always been the case. The focus on large-scale industrial units as the engines of growth was well supported on the grounds of efficiency and technological change. This focus has been characteristic of the post World War II period while "Those who perceived small firms to be contributing significantly to growth, employment generation, and competitiveness were few and far between". In the past decade, however, the way in which small firms are viewed has changed drastically and this book will be informative in representing the current development of business incubators.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Global Financial Crisis
Book SynopsisWhat began as a bursting of the U.S. housing market bubble and a rise in foreclosures has ballooned into a global financial and economic crisis. The world now appears to have entered a global recession that is causing widespread business contraction, increases in unemployment, and shrinking government revenues. Some of the largest and most venerable banks, investment houses, and insurance companies have either declared bankruptcy or have had to be rescued financially. The world is facing the worst economic conditions since the great depression. The crisis has exposed fundamental weaknesses in financial systems world-wide, demonstrated how interconnected and interdependent economics are today and has posed vexing policy dilemmas for governments. This book is an analysis of the global financial crisis and its policy implications.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Nonlinear Economic Dynamics
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on recent advances made in the field of non-linear dynamic modelling in economics. Mathematically, linearity is a very special kind of relation between variables chosen to the purpose of simplification. Even in physics linear modelling of dynamical systems was a first choice for quite some time, due to convenience in analysis, as exemplified by the acceleration law, the harmonic oscillator, the wave equation, and the like. The methods of analysis were simply developed to the ease of dealing with such systems. These methods are found under the heading of infinitesimal calculus; at early stages dynamical processes were formulated as differential equations in continuous time.

Nova Science Publishers Inc After the Crisis: Rethinking Finance
Book SynopsisThe 2007-2010 economic crisis has profoundly shaken the foundations of mainstream financial economics. The apparent falsification of core concepts such as risk diversification, informational efficiency and valuation efficiency by an unexpected course of events has revealed the need to redefine the objectives and direction of research today. In a context where global public opinion has begun to doubt the merits of a deregulated economy, a conceptual void has been opened up, thereby rendering more complex the elaboration of appropriate policy responses. This book illustrates new paths in economic research by examining the crisis from perspectives which fall outside the conventional theoretical paradigm and which, by virtue of their non-conformity, are in a position to provide a refreshed gaze on former ways of thinking.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Small Farms in the United States
Book SynopsisSmall farms account for 91 percent of all farms and 23 percent of agricultural production. There are large differences among small farms, however, because USDA statistics are based on a very broad farm definition. Most small-farm production occurs on small commercial farms with a gross cash farm income (GCFI) of at least $10,000. Most places counted as small farms, however, are much smaller than that; 60% of small farms have GCFI of less than $10,000, and 22 percent have less than $1,000. This book examines the differences between small and large farms and distinguishes between non-commercial farms and small commercial farms and their viability for the future in the United States.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Commercial Real Estate: Background & Issues
Book SynopsisOver the next few years, a wave of commercial real estate loan failures could threaten America''s already-weakened financial system. The Congressional Oversight Panel is deeply concerned that commercial loan losses could jeopardise the stability of many banks, particularly the nation''s mid-size and smaller banks, and that as the damage spreads beyond individual banks that it will contribute to prolonged weakness throughout the economy. This book is an overview of the current threats facing the commercial real estate markets, and the future problems facing communities, small businesses and American families already struggling to make ends meet in today''s especially difficult economy.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Merida Initiative: U.S. Counterdrug & Anticrime
Book SynopsisIncreasing violence perpetrated by drug trafficking organisations (DTOs) and other criminal groups is threatening citizen security in Mexico. Mexican DTOs dominate the illicit drug market in the U.S. and are expanding their operations by forming partnerships with U.S. gangs. As a result, some of the drug-related violence in Mexico has spilled over into the United States. On October 22, 2007, the U.S. and Mexico announced the Merida Initiative, a proposed package of U.S. counter-drug and anticrime assistance for Mexico and Central America that would begin in 2008 and last through 2010. This book provides an overview of the funding provided for the Merida Initiative, the status of Merida implementation, and a discussion of some policy issues that Congress may consider as it oversees the Initiative.

Nova Science Publishers Inc U.S.-Mexico & Southwest Border Violence:
Book SynopsisThere has been a recent increase in the level of drug trafficking-related violence within and between the drug trafficking organisations in Mexico. This violence has generated concern among U.S. policy makers that the violence in Mexico might spill over into the United States. The most recent threat assessment indicates that the Mexican drug trafficking organisations pose the greatest drug trafficking threat to the United States, and this threat is driven partly by U.S. demand for drugs. This book is an overview of the potential spill-over violence and related issues between the U.S. and Mexico in the ongoing drug-trafficking operations on the Southwest borders.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Fruit in Japan: Policies & Issues
Book SynopsisJapan is a large market for fruits and its consumers spend $10 billion per year (wholesale value) on fresh and preserved fruits. The United States, the second-largest foreign supplier of fruits to Japan, sent about $450 million in fruit exports to Japan in 2009, 10 percent of total U.S. fruit exports. Japanese government policies regarding this large market affect U.S. fruit exports and offer a point of comparison for other developed countries. Consumption of traditionally important fruits, such as citrus fruits and apples, has been declining and expenditures on fruits for consumption at home have decreased. This book examines Japan''s policies that protect and regulate its agricultural markets. Japan''s policies affect existing trade patterns and are relevant to the current round of global trade negotiations conducted by the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Nova Science Publishers Inc Impact of Global Economic Crisis on Agriculture
Book SynopsisThis book explores the world economic crisis that began in 2008, and which has had major consequences for U.S. agriculture. The weakening of global demand because of emerging recessions and declining economic growth results in reduced export demand and lower agricultural commodity prices, compared with those in 2008. These, in turn, reduce U.S. farm income and place downward pressure on farm real estate values. So far, the overall impact on U.S. agriculture is not as severe as on the broader U.S. economy because the record-high agricultural exports, prices, and farm income in 2007 and 2008 put U.S. farmers on solid financial ground.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Foreign & Guest Workers: Immigration & Admissions
Book SynopsisSome employers maintain that they continue to need the "best and the brightest" workers, regardless of their country of birth, to remain competitive in a world-wide market and to keep their firms in the United States. While support for increasing employment-based immigration may be dampened by the high levels of unemployment, proponents argue that the ability to hire foreign workers is an essential ingredient for economic growth. This book explores the immigration and admission issues concerning foreign and guest worker programs in the United States.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Noncitizen & Illegal Alien Access to Benefits &
Book SynopsisFederal law bars aliens residing without authorisation in the United States from most federal benefits; however, there is a widely held perception that many unauthorised aliens obtain such benefits. The degree to which unauthorised resident aliens should be accorded certain rights and privileges as a result of their residence in the United States, along with the duties owed by such aliens given their presence, remains the subject of intense debate in Congress. This book focuses on the policy and legislative debate surrounding unauthorised aliens'' access to federal benefits.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Israeli-Arab Negotiations & Issues
Book SynopsisIt has now been 16 years since Israel and the PLO agreed to the 1993 Oslo Accord. Differences between the sides over core issues, such as borders, security, settlements, the status of Jerusalem, refugees, and water rights, have not been overcome, despite the third-party involvement of various international actors, the United States, in particular. This book explores the debate which continues over the proper U.S. approach to the peace process. Congress faces significant policy challenges both with its oversight of the Obama Administration''s formulation and implementation of policy; on matters such as foreign aid, security assistance, Israeli settlements, the role of Arab states and others.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Taiwan: Relations with China & the U.S.
Book SynopsisU.S. policy toward Taiwan is unique. Since both the Chinese governments on Taiwan and on mainland China held that they alone were China''s legitimate ruling government, U.S. diplomatic relations with Taiwan had to be severed in 1979 when the United States recognised the People''s Republic of China (PRC) government as China''s sole legitimate governments. While maintaining diplomatic relations with the PRC, the United States maintains extensive but unofficial relations with Taiwan based on the framework of the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. U.S. interests in Taiwan include significant commercial ties, objections to PRC military threats against Taiwan, arms sales and security assurances, and support for Taiwan''s democratic development. This book examines the historical background of Taiwan; its political status, relations with China; and the implications for U.S. policy.
