Nova Science Publishers Inc Cross-Cultural Economic Management
Book SynopsisThis book sets out to examine the economic effects of various cultural factors (including, but not limited to, ethnicity, language and religion), as well as to present a methodological framework for the management of cross-cultural economic activities that could be misinterpreted by existing economic theories. One of the most important findings in this book is the clarification of conditions under which culture may not be a cause of misunderstanding and conflict, but a source of creativity and profitability of international and intercultural co-operation. It also identifies various cultural conditions under which economic policies can (or cannot) be optimally arranged during the dynamic process of economic globalisation. The theoretical results and empirical findings in this book are intended to supplement current studies on development economics and international economics and trade, as well as to help policymakers to reappraise the roles of ''cultural factors'' in, and to introduce the optimal economic and cultural policies into, cross-cultural economic management.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Agricultural Trade in China
Book SynopsisChina is the world''s largest agricultural economy and the leading producer and consumer of many agricultural commodities. In recent years, its massive population and tremendous income growth have fuelled a rapid increase in both the quantity and quality of food and fibre consumed. While China has met much of its needs by increasing domestic production, it has also emerged as a leading global importer of several agricultural commodities, including cotton, soy beans, vegetable oils, and hides and skins. China''s increase in imports has benefited its trade partners significantly, but only for a narrow range of products. This book provides information and analysis regarding the conditions of competition in China''s agricultural market and trade and their effects on U.S. agricultural exports.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Raising U.S. Exports: Federal Promotion Efforts &
Book SynopsisFor many years, the U.S. government has played an active role in promoting U.S. commercial export of goods and services by administering various forms of export assistance through federal government agencies. Congress has had a long-standing interest in the effectiveness and efficiency of federal export promotion activities and may exercise export promotion authority in a number of ways, including through oversight, authorization, and funding roles. The recent global economic downturn has renewed congressional interest in U.S. government efforts to expand U.S. exports levels. This book discusses and analyses U.S. export trends to provide context and federal export promotion efforts, with a focus on the National Export Initiative (NEI) and policy issues raised for Congress by such activities.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Monetary Policy & Risk Management in Financial
Book SynopsisGlobalization is a complex, forceful, legal and social process that takes place within an integrated whole with no regard for geographical boundaries. Financial globalization is criticized for consequential increases in economic volatility and disruptions to monetary policy autonomy. Globalization increases the vulnerability of economies to shock while restraining the apparatus that central banks and policy authorities have for dealing with said shocks engendered at home and abroad. Globalization and corporate governance interact to deal with governance issues arising from the globalization of business. Corporate governance is, to a great extent, a set of means through which outside investors protect themselves against expropriation by insiders. Risk management is at the centre of all financial actions. Moreover, risk management is a two-step course: firstly, it is necessary to uncover what risks exist in an investment and then deal with those risks in a way best-suited to a corporation''s investment objectives. Financial markets have been liberalized around the globe. Banks advance their capacity to administer credit risk function with greater leverage by lending more of their assets to risky borrowers. In a market-based financial system, banking and capital market advancements are undividable and funding circumstances are tied to fluctuations in the control of market-based financial intermediaries. Risk management has become a momentous element of company management after the modern financial crisis.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Is China Encircling India?
Book SynopsisEncircling India from different flanks is seemingly a key strategic objective of China, apart from others. China needs dominance in this part of the world both for economic and strategic reasons. China wants to regain its lost grandeur that it lost during the ''Century of Humiliation'' on the world stage. Southeast Asia is generally under Chinas influence, by means foul or fair. It could even manage the Philippines after it got a verdict in its favour in the international court on an issue related to the South China Sea. Chinas economic power is impacting its relations with Southeast Asian countries. Given the recent conflict between China and India, India is more likely to align itself with the United States. India is a strong partner in the Quadrilateral Dialogue (QUAD), alongside Japan, the United States, and Australia. The QUAD is getting stronger militarily, and the U.S. has been generous to India, especially under former President George W. Bush, who signed a civil nuclear agreement that set India as a nuclear power. India is likely to become a potent naval force in the Indian Ocean, where China is also making advances. China is now more closely aligned with Russia. The combined forces of China and Russia are a great deterrent to the United States. Added to that, the Bridge and Road Initiative (BRI) is drawing more countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The coming decade wont be divided by an iron curtain but clearly by two blocks vying for influence. China has huge economic and proximity advantage whereas the United States has its military component and potent alliance powers especially with India and Japan. After the pandemic, the turn of history may be different, so the 21st century scenario development may be problematic as it stands now. That said, the book attempts projection and scenario development extrapolating the vexed issues and events between India and China within the broader framework of Indo-Pacific.

De Gruyter The Institutional Foundations of the Digital
Book Synopsis The development of the Digital Economy has been a landmark breakthrough for economic systems in the 21st century, as it opens up opportunities for the full-scale implementation of new digital technologies and the optimization of economic activities. While the conceptual essence and specific features of the digital economy are described in detail in the existing literature, the practical foundations of its formation are poorly studied. In this book, the digital economy is studied from the perspective of neo-institutional economic theory. This allows for the tracking of the process of formation (institutionalization) of the digital economy, determining the basic institutions that are necessary for its formation and that exist in modern economic practice, and analyzing scenarios for the future development of the digital economy in the 21st century.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Managing PostTrading Infrastructures
Book SynopsisAs interest in international securities trading has grown, so has the awareness of academics in researching these markets. Research topics cover a wide range from market microstructure theory and transaction cost analysis to the investigation of competitive markets and network effects. Research with regard to the post-trading sector is rather sparse. Torsten Schaper''s study addresses strategic management aspects in European post-trading and shows the six competitive forces affecting the post-trading industry. Due to the globalisation of financial markets and the financial crisis, the management of post-trading infrastructures is confronted with a changed and competitive environment. The objective and central research question is to show how to manage post-trading infrastructures in this changing environment and to - identify and analyse the most important regulatory challenges for the industry; - classify the most important technical barriers that hinder the efficient settlement of cross-border securities transactions and evaluate different approaches for technical integration; - illustrate how to develop a performance management system for the post-trading industry; - identify the most important IT issues the post-trading industry has to cope with; - demonstrate how different business strategies of providers of trading and post-trading services are correlated with specific efficiency parameters.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Post-Soviet Russian-Belarussian Relationships.
Book SynopsisUntil the February 2004 gas crisis when Gazprom cut off all gas flows via Belarus, the issue of Belarus as a gas transit route was not addressed seriously despite this country's transiting around 20% of Russia's gas exports to Europe. The gas crisis threatened the reliability of gas supplies to Europe. It demonstrated the necessity of bringing Belarus back into focus, explaining how and why the seemingly amicable Russian-Belarussian relationship had deteriorated to such an extent, and suggesting how the problem might evolve in the future. This book shows that the reliability of the Belarussian gas transit routes is influenced by changes in the intensity of the Russian-Belarussian integration and explores whether Belarus is in a position to manage (or, indeed, survive) within the new, 'commercial' framework to which the gas issues had shifted following the failure to establish political union. The book predicts that the mainstay of Belarussian welfare is bound to deteriorate as Russia continues to increase its domestic gas prices at 20% annually as part of its energy strategy and in line with WTO requirements - thus, also making Belarus's independent stance vis-a-vis Gazprom unsustainable. In order to secure gas prices at the level of, at least, Russian domestic prices, Belarus is likely to return to negotiating a joint venture operating the Belarussian transit network together with Gazprom. Yet, even if such a joint venture were to be formed, it would not eliminate the main reason of the unreliability of gas transit via Belarus - the weakness of the national economy. Therefore, unless Belarus embarks on reforms leading to substantial gas conservation, it will continue to be tempted to resort to unauthorised gas off-takes and non-payments undermining the reliability of transit.

Academic Foundation FDI in Retail Sector India: Report by ICRIER and
Book SynopsisIndia is in the midst of a retail boom. The sector witnessed significant transformation in the past decade - from small unorganised family-owned retail formats to organised retailing. Indian business houses and manufacturers are setting up retail formats while real estate companies and venture capitalist are investing in retail infrastructure. Many international brands have entered the market. With the growth in organised retailing, unorganised retailers are fast changing their business models. However, retailing is one of the few sectors where foreign direct investment (FDI) is not allowed at present. Stakeholders, trading associations, politicians, etc. have given various arguments for and against FDI in retailing. However, such arguments are largely based on perception and there has not been serious academic research in this area. To fill this lacuna, this survey-based study analyses the current retail scenario in India, investigates the growth across different segments of retailing and evaluates the likely impact of allowing FDI on various stakeholders in different retail segments. Experiences of other countries in allowing FDI and its impact are also discussed. Presently, foreign players are entering the market through different routes. The entry process and their perception about the Indian market are analysed. The study investigates the structural, regulatory, fiscal and other barriers affecting the performance of retail trade and suggests reforms for the removal of such barriers. It also provides valuable policy inputs in terms of the time-frame in and the process through which the Indian government can open up this sector to FDI so as to maximise the welfare and minimise the adjustment. It also lists the conditions that may be imposed on foreign retailers if FDI is allowed.Table of ContentsForeword; Acknowledgement; List of Tables, Figures and Boxes; Acronyms; Executive Summary; Introduction; 1.

New Century Publications Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Book SynopsisIn the early 1990s, the foreign exchange (forex) market in India was in the initial stages of development and suffered from several shortcomings. The spot market, as well as forward market, lacked depth and liquidity. The market was skewed with a handful of public sector banks accounting for the bulk of merchant business, with foreign banks handling most of inter-bank business. The forward rates reflected demand and supply, rather than interest rate differentials, owing to lack of integration between the money and forex markets and also due to restrictions on borrowings/lendings in the international market. India''s post-reforms period (1991 onward) has been marked by wide-ranging measures to widen and deepen the foreign exchange market. In line with the liberalization measures undertaken in other areas, various reform measures have been introduced in the foreign exchange market to make it liquid, vibrant, open, and market-determined. From a managed floating system under which the exchange rate was officially determined, the regime has passed through several phases to reach the present market-based system under which the exchange rate is determined by forces of demand and supply. With the introduction of market-determined exchange rate, companies have been exposed to risks of fluctuating rates which divert their attention from day-to-day corporate affairs. Management of risk associated with exchange rate is a new challenge for company managers. What is this risk? What are the perceptions of corporate managers about it? How to cope with it? These issues and solutions are discussed in Foreign Exchange Risk Management.

SAGE Publications India Pvt Ltd Global Cities: Past, Present and Future
Book SynopsisThe pivotal nodes in the world city network are global cities---cities of supreme strategic value in global economy and politics, science and technology, culture, and society. Global Cities: Past, Present and Future explores the evolution of global cities---their formation, rise, development and tendencies. This book summarizes and interprets global tendencies and also puts forward a theoretical framework that will help researchers understand these cities better. It also makes a compelling case for understanding every city in terms of evolutionary dynamics. The first eight chapters of the book discuss the ontology of global city evolution and patterns, forms and trends of development. The last two chapters study the case of Shanghai, which aims to build itself into an important global city by 2050. This case study illustrates the shaping of a new type of global city that demonstrates new characteristics of the globalized space.Table of ContentsIntroduction Literature Review Global Cities Research The Studies of Global Space Studies on the World City Network Dynamic Evolution Research Definition of Global Cities Methodology of Conceptualization Global City Paradigm Clarification of Some Confusing Concepts Evolutionary Ontology and Its Core Category Ontology of Global Cities The Core Category Connected Spaces Evolution Framework: World City Network Complex Interlocking Network Model Network Structure Evolutionary Dynamics Framework of Dynamics Influencing Factors Evolutionary Process Evolutionary Model Dominant Model of Evolution Diversity in Evolution (Types) Evolutionary Tendencies of Global Cities Evolutionary Tendencies Based on Network Intensification Evolution Trend Based on the Isotropic World City Network The Evolution of Space Space Expansion Evolutionary Trend of Spatial Expansion Processes A Case Study of ‘Shanghai 2050’ Global City Vision (Part I) Strategic Drive: Prospects of Globalization Strategic Opportunities: Reshaping of World Pattern The Rise of China as Strategic Support Shanghai’s Endogenous Foundation for Global Cities Evolution A Case Study of ‘Shanghai 2050’ Global City Vision (Part II) Prospects of Shanghai’s Evolution to a Global City Shanghai’s Vision of Becoming a Global City Core Functions of Shanghai as a Global City Bibliography

Book SynopsisA Washington Post Notable Book of the Year • An Economist Book of the YearNow With a New Afterword“A must-read for anyone wanting to better understand what has already happened here in America and what lies ahead if Trump is reelected in November…. A magisterial account of the money and violence behind the world’s most powerful dictatorships.” -Washington PostIn this shocking, meticulously reported work of narrative nonfiction, an award-winning investigative journalist exposes “capitalism’s monster”—global kleptocracy—and reveals how it is corrupting the world around us.They are everywhere, the thieves and their people. Masters of secrecy. Until now we have detected their presence only by what they leave behind. A body in a burned-out Audi. Workers riddled with bullets in the Kazakh Desert. A rigged election in Zimbabwe. A British banker silenced and humiliated for trying to expose the truth about the City of London.They have amassed more money than most countries. But what they are really stealing is power.In this real-life thriller packed with jaw-dropping revelations, award-winning investigative journalist Tom Burgis weaves together four stories that reveal a terrifying global web of corruption: the troublemaker from Basingstoke who stumbles on the secrets of a Swiss bank, the ex-Soviet billionaire constructing a private empire, the righteous Canadian lawyer with a mysterious client, and the Brooklyn crook protected by the CIA.Glimpses of this shadowy world have emerged over the years. In Kleptopia, Burgis connects the dots. He follows the dirty money that is flooding the global economy, emboldening dictators, and poisoning democracies. From the Kremlin to Beijing, Harare to Riyadh, Paris to the White House, the trail shows something even more sinister: the thieves are uniting. And the human cost will be great.

Oxford University Press Inc ExchangeTraded Funds and the New Dynamics of Investing
Book SynopsisIn Exchange-Traded Funds and the New Dynamics of Investing, Ananth Madhavan examines the quiet transformation of asset management through the rise of passive or index investing. A closely-related phenomenon is the rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). An ETF is an investment vehicle that trades intraday and seeks to replicate the performance of a specific index. ETFs have grown substantially in size, diversity, and market significance in recent years. These trends have generated considerable interest, especially from retail and institutional investors and increasingly from academics, regulators and the press. ETFs have the power to be a disruptive innovation to today''s asset management industry because many traditional active managers and hedge funds deliver a significant fraction of their active returns via static exposures to factors like value. Indeed, for the first time ever, assets in global ETFs exceeded $3 trillion in 2015, passing the amount in hedge funds.Trade Review"Exchange-Traded Funds and the New Dynamics of Investing is an essential reference and a thought-provoking commentary for professional investors in all asset classes. Readers will be able to incorporate what they learn from reading the book into immediate practice, either through modeling and backtesting or through actual active investing using passive instruments." -- Financial Analysts Journal "Ananth Madhavan delivers a clear, accessible, and authoritative exposition of modern investment theory and the role of exchange-traded funds. His treatment integrates the perspectives of investors, investment managers, ETF producers, ETF arbitrageurs and regulators in a unified framework. The analysis draws on well-founded principles of financial economics, but also the real world experience and insights of a seasoned practitioner. Investment professionals, academics, and regulators will find here a thorough reference and guide to the active use of passive strategies and the exchange-traded fund universe." -- Joel Hasbrouck, Kenneth G. Langone Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Finance, Stern School of Business, New York University "ETFs are the fastest growing segment of the mutual fund industry. Madhavan's comprehensive and accessible book delivers a structured framework for understanding the ETF market, with a perfect balance of academic rigor and practical value. This book is an essential guide to one of the most important investment vehicles in today's markets, and will be a valuable resource to academics, individual investors, and the most sophisticated institutional investors." -- Donald B.
