Sommario/riassunto

This is an informal history of modern economic thought as told through autobiographical chapters by twenty-three Nobel Prize laureates in Economics. The chapters not only provide unique insights into major economic ideas of our time but also shed light on the processes of intellectual discovery and creativity. This edition adds four recent Nobelists to its pages: Eric Maskin, Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, and Peter Diamond.

Sommario/riassunto

We present a model of the optimal level of international reserves for a small open economy that is vulnerable to sudden stops in capital flows. Reserves allow the country to smooth domestic absorption in response to sudden stops, but yield a lower return than the interest rate on the country's long-term debt. We derive a formula for the optimal level of reserves, and show that plausible calibrations can explain reserves of the order of magnitude observed in many emerging market countries. However, the recent buildup of reserves in Asia seems in excess of what would be implied by an insurance motive against sudden stops.

Sommario/riassunto

Stem cells are the focus of intense interest from a growing, multidisciplinary community of investigators with tools for isolating and characterizing these elusive cell types. This volume, which features



contributions from many of the world's leading laboratories, provides a broad and authoritative basis for understanding the biology of stem cells and the excitement about their potential for clinical exploitation. It should be a useful work of reference for investigators in embryology, hematology, and neurobiology, and their collaborators in the emerging field of regenerative medicine.
