Sommario/riassunto

"After the final collapse of the Soviet Union, the so-called 'last empire', in 1991, the countries of Central Asia - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan - and of the Caucasus - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia - became independent nations. These countries, previously production centres under the socialist planning system of the Soviet Union, have made enormous economic adjustments in order to develop - or attempt to develop - along capitalist lines. As this study will show, however, inequality in Central Asia and the Caucasus is widening, as the Soviet systems of healthcare and state provisions disappear. Rejecting the Cold War-era East/West paradigm often used to analyse the development of these nations, this study analyses development along the North-South lines which characterise the migration patterns and poverty levels of much of the rest of the developed world. This opens up new avenues of research, and helps us understand why it is, for instance, that this region is better characterised as a 'new South' - as skilled workers flood out of the territories and into Russia and Western Europe. Development in Central Asia and the Caucasus draws together detailed analyses of the development of migration economics as the region's oil wealth further enhances its strategic and economic importance to Russia, the US, the Middle East and to the EU."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Sommario/riassunto

Die statistische Methodenlehre zählt zum Standardrepertoire wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Studiengänge. Entsprechend obligatorisch ist für die meisten Studierenden das Absolvieren einer einschlägigen - zumeist aus Rechenaufgaben bestehenden - Klausur. Dieses Buch soll bei der Vorbereitung auf solche Klausuren Hilfestellung leisten. Das Arbeitsbuch dient der Einübung grundlegender Begriffe und Verfahren der statistischen Methodenlehre. Es besteht aus 30 Aufgaben zur deskriptiven Statistik, 42 Aufgaben zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung sowie 51 Aufgaben zur induktiven Statistik, die jeweils mit ausführlichen Lösungen versehen sind. Die Problemstellungen der Aufgaben sind überwiegend den Wirtschaftswissenschaften entnommen. Inhaltlich ist das Arbeitsbuch auf das Lehrbuch "Statistik" derselben Autoren abgestimmt, das ebenfalls im Verlag De Gruyter Oldenbourg erschienen ist.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper investigates the implications of lowering formal regulations in labor and product  markets on informality and macroeconomic outcomes in India. We estimate a DSGE model  with an informal sector, and rigidities in the formal labor and product markets. Along with  increasing GDP and employment, deregulation also leads to lower informality and greater  product market competition. Slow reallocation of resources between the formal and informal  sectors leads to some adverse impacts in the short run that can be minimized by  implementing a combined package of reforms. These impacts are shown to be greater in an  economy with a larger informal sector.
