With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South Korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market-it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of consumers and America's global economic standing. 606 $aTelecommunication$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aAntitrust law$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aAntitrust law 676 $a384.0973 700 $aCrawford$b Susan P.$f1963-$01053338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462800203321 996 $aCaptive audience$92485192 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05365oam 22010934 450 001 9910788337203321 005 20230721045626.0 010 $a1-4623-2248-4 010 $a1-4527-4301-0 010 $a9786612842948 010 $a1-282-84294-3 010 $a1-4518-7220-8 035 $a(CKB)3170000000055242 035 $a(EBL)1608243 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000939969 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11518975 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000939969 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10938239 035 $a(PQKB)11717970 035 $a(OCoLC)608491617 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1608243 035 $a(IMF)WPIEE2009073 035 $a(EXLCZ)993170000000055242 100 $a20020129d2009 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 12$aA Coincident Indicator of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Business Cycle /$fAbdullah Al-Hassan 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cInternational Monetary Fund,$d2009. 215 $a1 online resource (36 p.) 225 1 $aIMF Working Papers 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4519-1655-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aContents; I.

The resulting coincident indicator provides a reliable measure of the GCC business cycle; over the last decade, the GCC coincident index and the real GDP growth have moved closely together. Since the indicator is constructed using a small number of common factors, the strong correlation between the indicator and real GDP growth points to a high degree of commonality across GCC economies. The timing and direction of movements in macroeconomic variables are characterized with respect to the coincident indicator. Finally, to obtain a meaningful economic interpretation of the latent factors, their behavior is compared to the observed economic variables. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/073 606 $aBusiness cycles 606 $aEconometrics$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPrices, Business Fluctuations, and Cycles: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aClassification Methods$2imf 606 $aCluster Analysis$2imf 606 $aPrincipal Components$2imf 606 $aFactor Models$2imf 606 $aEconomic growth$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aBusiness cycles$2imf 606 $aCyclical indicators$2imf 606 $aConsumer prices$2imf 606 $aFactor models$2imf 606 $aNominal effective exchange rate$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aEconometric models$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aBusiness cycles. 615 7$aEconometrics 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPrices, Business Fluctuations, and Cycles: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aClassification Methods 615 7$aCluster Analysis 615 7$aPrincipal Components 615 7$aFactor Models 615 7$aEconomic growth 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aBusiness cycles 615 7$aCyclical indicators 615 7$aConsumer prices 615 7$aFactor models 615 7$aNominal effective exchange rate 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aEconometric models 700 $aAl-Hassan$b Abdullah$01472712 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788337203321 996 $aA Coincident Indicator of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Business Cycle$93685577 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01880nas 2200469-a 450 001 9910142271403321 005 20240413013825.0 011 $a1584-0921 035 $a(CKB)1000000000321237 035 $a(CONSER)sn-96020258- 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2188799-8 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000321237 100 $a19960614a19uu9999 -a- - 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAnnual report /$fNational Bank of Romania 210 $a[Bucharest, Romania] $cThe Bank 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aCumulative vol. issued for 2001-2005 with title: Annual reports. 311 08$aPrint version: Annual report / 1453-3928 (DLC)sn 96020258 (OCoLC)34932203 330 $aIncludes an English translation of the report on world, regional, and national economic conditions submitted to the Romanian Parliament, with a summary of the Bank's monetary and foreign exchange policies and a report of its activities for the year covered. 517 3 $aAnnual reports 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$zRomania$vPeriodicals 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00827036 606 $aEconomic history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901974 606 $aEconomic policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00902025 607 $aRomania$xEconomic conditions$y1989-$vPeriodicals 607 $aRomania$xEconomic policy$y1989-$vPeriodicals 607 $aRomania$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central 615 7$aBanks and banking, Central. 615 7$aEconomic history. 615 7$aEconomic policy. 712 02$aBanca Nat?ional? a Romāniei.$bMonetary Policy and Research Department. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910142271403321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aAnnual report$9162222 997 $aUNINA
