Stagnation Versus Growth in Europe
This book explores the debate on the policies required to overcome the crises of 2008 and 2011, in which the focus on short-term measures has overshadowed the need to analyze the low growth rate in the European Union, and especially the Eurozone, as the basis for interventions that will counteract the tendency toward stagnation. Factors that lie at the root of the low growth are examined in depth, covering, for example, the impact of the demographic trend toward an aging population in Europe, co...

Productivity Puzzles Across Europe (Studies of Policy Reform)
The 2008 financial crisis put an end to an era of sustained economic growth in Europe. The size of the shock differed across European countries and affected economies in different ways. Yet despite this heterogeneity, most European countries suffered a prolonged period of economic slowdown which raised concerns about the risk of a secular stagnation in Europe. This book focuses on labour productivity in Europe, one of the main drivers of growth and prosperity. Although productivity trends became...
Politics and Sustainable Growth in the Arctic
The book begins by painting the landscape of the Arctic in both its economic and environmental periphery. The environmental problems in the Arctic reinforce the fact that it is integrated into the world global system, but modernization destroys its traditional cultures. The book seeks to explore alternatives to this destruction by developing the traditional cultures, and decentralizing the economic and political systems. The authors also argue that autonomy for the small Arctic nations is a prer...

Britain and European Monetary Cooperation, 1964-1979 (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance)
by Kiyoshi Hirowatari
The collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s resulted in a transition to fluctuating rather than fixed currency system. This brought sterling into the turmoil of the world currency markets, and by the end of the 1970s, sterling had quietly ended its role as an international currency. Sterling-dollar diplomacy collapsed, bringing to an end what had hitherto been considered Britain's prime relationship. Britain and European Monetary Cooperation, 1964-1979 provides a unique perspect...
Today's globalised world means offshore finance, airport boutiques and high-speed Internet for some people, against dollar-a-day wages, used t-shirts, and illiteracy for others. How do these highly skewed global distributions happen, and what can be done to counter them? New Rules for Global Justice engages with widespread public disquiet around global inequality. It explores (mal)distributions in relation to country, class, gender and race, with international examples drawn from Australia to Z...
Momentum Trading on the Indian Stock Market (SpringerBriefs in Economics)
by Gagari Chakrabarti and Chitrakalpa Sen
This study is an exploration of the Indian stock market, focusing on the possible presence of momentum trading. One thing, however, should be noted. While it is true that momentum trading, which tends to generate speculative bubbles, may result in a financial market crash, its nature in contrast might depend on the nature of the economy itself. The study, while exploring the presence and nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market in recent years, seeks to relate it to significant stru...
