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comparisons in the past thirty years, but descriptions and discussions of the new measures have been scattered in unpublished or inaccessible papers.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

This book dives into the world of Chinese interpreting, exploring fundamental challenges and topics such as consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, medical, courtroom and media interpreting, as well as interculturality. The book establishes a strong theoretical foundation, delving into principles and techniques for successful Chinese interpreting, before proceeding to examine note-taking in consecutive interpreting, strategies for effective information organization, and providing valuable insights through practical examples. The authors explore the realm of Chinese simultaneous interpreting, examining techniques for conveying meaning in real-time and addressing the unique challenges of medical interpreting. The book also covers the impact of technology on interpreting, the integration of artificial intelligence, and ethical considerations. With its theoretical foundations, practical examples, and in-depth exploration of various topics, this book serves as an indispensable resource for aspiring interpreters, practitioners seeking to enhance their knowledge, and researchers aiming to investigate the intricate world of Chinese interpreting.
