Language and economy.This book, which emerges in the context of the European research network LINEE (Languages in a Network of European Excellence), is concerned with European multilingualism both as a political concept and as a social reality. It features cutting-edge studies by linguists and anthropologists who perceive multilingualism as a discursive phenomenon which can be revealed and analyzed through empirical fieldwork. The book presents a fresh perspective of European multilingualism as it takes the reader through key themes of social consciousness - identity, policy, education, economy - and relevant societal levels of organization (European, national, regional). With its distinct focus on post-national society caught in unifying as well as diversifying socio-political currents, the volume problematizes emerging contradictions inherent in the idea of a Europe beyond the nation state -between speech minorities and majorities, economic realities, or socio-political ideologies.

SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504981-10-1096-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.This book presents an in-depth empirical analysis of consumer response to alternative policies for energy conservation. Its main focus is on innovative policy instruments that have attracted increasing attention from academics and energy conservation practitioners alike: critical peak pricing, conservation requests, in-home displays, and home energy reports. The book investigates the effects of these policy instruments on residential demand for electricity. The data is drawn from a series of randomized field experiments for the years 2012–2013 in Japan, where serious concerns about power shortages have emerged in the wake of the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. By applying econometric techniques to the quantitative analysis of residential power consumption, the book demonstrates how consumers respond to innovative instruments for energy conservation. It also offers new perspectives on how these instruments can be used more effectively and explores the potential for their practical implementation. This highly informative book is essential reading for energy specialists in both academic and professional contexts.SpringerBriefs in Economics,2191-5504Natural resourcesEnergy policyEnergy policyEconomicsPsychological aspectsNatural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010Energy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000Behavioral/Experimental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W54000Natural resources.Energy policy.Energy policy.EconomicsPsychological aspects.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Behavioral/Experimental Economics.333.79Matsukawa Isamuauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut941810MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254877003321Consumer Energy Conservation Behavior After Fukushima2124919UNINA
