Sommario/riassunto

Economists wish to compare prices, real income, and output across countries and regions for many purposes. In the past, such comparisons were made in nominal terms, or by using exchange rates across countries, ignoring differences in price levels and thus distorting the results. Great progress has been made in interspatial comparisons in the past thirty years, but descriptions and discussions of the new measures have been scattered in unpublished or inaccessible papers. International and Interarea Comparisons of Income, Output, and Prices includes discussions of developments in the United Nations



International Comparison Program, the largest effort in this field, and in the ICOP program on the production side, including efforts in both to extend the comparisons to the formerly planned economies. Other papers in this volume explore new programs on interspatial comparisons within the United States. There are also theoretical papers on how interspatial comparisons should be made and several examples of uses of such comparisons.

Sommario/riassunto

"'Ionospheric Space Weather' includes articles from six science themes that were discussed at the Chapman Conference in 2012. These include: Hemispherical dependence of magnetospheric energy injection and the thermosphere-ionosphere response, longitude and hemispheric dependence of storm-enhanced densities (SED), response of the thermosphere and ionosphere to variability in solar radiation,



longitude spatial structure in total electron content and electrodynamics, temporal response to lower-atmosphere disturbances, and ionospheric irregularities and scintillation. 'Ionospheric Space Weather: Longitude Dependence and Lower Atmosphere Forcing' will be useful to both active researchers and advanced graduate students in the field of physics, geophysics, and engineering, especially those who are keen to acquire a global understanding of ionospheric phenomena, including observational information from all longitude sectors across the globe"--Provided by publisher.
