Population Economics

Handbook of Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics

New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch and renowned money expert Nicole Lapin makes investing accessible and fun so women can make bank and become Miss Independent.You've worked hard for your money and now it's time for your money to work for you. You will never earn or budget your way into real wealth. Growing your money significantly doesn't require starting with a lot of money. It requires a little bit of knowledge about taking smart risks and as much time as possible to take advantage of the glorious power of compound interest, which Einstein refers to as the eighth wonder of the world.From automating your savings to easy, no-stress investing strategies, Nicole will teach you how to take your financial knowledge and portfolio to the next level and start you on your journey to your ultimate destination: true financial independence.In Miss Independent, you will learn: <ul><li>The freedom that wealth affords you, whether it's the ability to leave a crappy job or significant other, go on the vacation of your dreams or otherwise live life on your own terms. </li><li>The best method for establishing your "number"--the amount of wealth you want to accumulate before you retire--and getting it.</li><li>The meaning of the most common investing terms, like stocks and bonds, (and some more exotic ones like REITs or cryptocurrency) and how to make them work to your advantage.</li><li>The ins and outs of big financial decisions and concepts, like taking out a mortgage, owning investment properties, and buying life insurance.</li></ul>Miss Independent takes the fear out of money management and investing once and for all. Using her own vulnerable stories and her signature conversational style, let Nicole show you all the different ways and paths that you can take to become financially free at last.

A Simple 12-Step Plan to Start Investing and Grow Your Own Wealth

Miss Independent

In Organisationen wirken nicht nur jene, die laut Organigramm Verantwortung tragen. Oft sind es informelle Netzwerker, Schattenstrategen und vertrauensvolle Schnittstellenpersonen, die Entscheidungen vorbereiten, Informationen bündeln und Machtverhältnisse prägen. Dieses Buch beleuchtet die fast vergessene Rolle des Factotums: Menschen ohne klaren Titel, aber mit hoher Wirkung. Der Autor analysiert, wie solche Organisationsgestalter entstehen, warum sie besonders in komplexen, chaotischen und stark personalisierten Strukturen unverzichtbar werden – und in welchen moralischen Grauzonen sie agieren. Ein klarsichtiger Beitrag zu informeller Macht, lateraler Führung, Vertrauen, Einfluss und Organisationsdynamik.
Der Inhalt

<li>Die Werkzeuge des Factotums: Vertrauen, Information, Einfluss und laterale Führung</li>
<li>Das Spiel der Organisation: Mikropolitik, Regeln, Fairness und strategisches Handeln</li>

Wie Schattenstrategen jenseits der Hierarchie Entscheidungen beeinflussen

Das Factotum – informeller Einfluss in Organisationen

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

Eight Principles to Craft a More Conscious, Collaborative, and Connected Future

Artisan Economics

Microstructure, Statistical Fluctuations, and Technical Signals in Rational Asset Pricing develops a unified, research-level framework for rational asset pricing under realistic information frictions, connecting three literatures that are too often treated separately: market microstructure, statistical fluctuation models (including scaling, heavy tails, and dependence), and technical signals used in empirical practice.The organizing claim of the book is not that markets are 'irrational', but that standard rational finance is frequently implemented with empirically incomplete statistical structure and with an overly idealized information-transmission mechanism.This book is primarily intended for advanced graduate (Ph.D. and strong M.S.) students and research-oriented practitioners. It is also accessible to advanced undergraduates in mathematics, statistics, financial engineering, and economics, provided they have prior exposure to probability, regression, and basic asset pricing.Features <ul> <li>Numerous illustrative examples and worked proofs</li> <li>Comprehensive, in-depth coverage of topics</li> </ul>

Chapman and Hall/CRC Series on Statistics in Business and Economics

Bayesian methods are now central to empirical macroeconomics, with routine use in academic research and at central banks for forecasting and policy analysis. As the models applied in practice have become increasingly high-dimensional and computationally intensive, a working understanding of the estimation algorithms-not only the models themselves-has become essential. While many existing texts treat Bayesian econometrics broadly, Bayesian Macroeconometrics focuses specifically on the models and methods used in modern Bayesian macroeconomic analysis, for readers who want both to understand these methods and to implement them.Bringing together modeling, posterior derivations, algorithmic design, and computation, the book derives each method step by step and integrates MATLAB code directly into the text. It pays particular attention to how posterior samplers are constructed in high-dimensional settings, where implementation choices can determine whether a method is practical for empirical work.A single idea ties the material together: linear regression as a recurring building block, with state space models and vector autoregressions treated as collections of linear regressions linked by latent states or dynamic dependence. From this foundation, the book moves to the models at the center of modern practice, including stochastic volatility, dynamic factor models, vector autoregressions, time-varying parameter VARs, and large VARs, alongside global-local shrinkage priors and Bayesian nonparametrics.Each chapter is anchored by worked examples using real macroeconomic data, closes with exercises, and is supported by a companion website providing datasets and code in MATLAB, Python, and R. The book is suitable as a primary text for graduate courses in Bayesian macroeconometrics and Bayesian time-series analysis, and as a reference for researchers and central-bank practitioners.Key Features:<ul> <li>Comprehensive coverage of Bayesian macroeconometric models - from basic Bayesian regressions and mixture models to linear Gaussian state space models, stochastic volatility models, and vector autoregressions.</li> <li>Emphasis on practical implementation - each model is illustrated with empirical applications using macroeconomic data and supported by reproducible code in MATLAB, Python, and R.</li> <li>Discussion of modern computation techniques - covering a range of advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.</li> <li>Accessible style - technical results are derived in a step-by-step manner and are complemented by intuitive explanations and worked examples.</li> <li>Coverage of cutting-edge models and methods - including Dirichlet process mixtures, Gaussian process regressions, large VARs, and global-local priors.</li> </ul>

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

The Market for Skill

Are you tired of failing to finish what you start? Intentional, from productivity expert Chris Bailey, is the motivational guide you need. 'A powerful guide to turning ambition into action' - Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators Most of us have no problem setting goals. We know what we want, and we have a pretty good sense of what it takes to get it. But consistently making progress until we've reached that goal is the hard part. In Intentional, Chris Bailey, bestselling author of Hyperfocus, presents a new and better way to accomplish your goals. It turns out, the secret to finishing what you start isn't willpower or the latest productivity hack - it's intentionality. Your deepest intentions are your greatest motivating force. By structuring your goals around the things that matter most to you, whether that's feeling secure in your job, having autonomy over your decisions or being in a community, getting things done becomes second nature. Drawing from the latest productivity research and packed full of practical strategies, Intentional will show you how to:<ul><li>Structure goals to increase the likelihood of completion</li><li>Make unappealing, boring or frustrating tasks more attractive to do</li><li>Lower the chance of procrastinating</li><li>Create a system for tracking progress</li><li>Know when a goal isn't for you - and when it's time to let it go.</li></ul> With Chris Bailey as your guide, finishing what you start is more possible than you think. 'An important new contribution to the genre!' - Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work 'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' - TED

The Right to Strike Reimagined

International Series in Operations Research & Management Science

This book presents a rigorous, practitioner-ready framework for determining when interventional causal claims can be validly drawn from observational data. By integrating potential outcomes (PO), structural causal models (SCMs), directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), quasi-experimental and longitudinal designs, information-theoretic approaches, and modern machine-learning methods with decision-analytic principles, it identifies necessary conditions for each step of the causal inference process, from defining estimands and identifying causal effects to study design, measurement, estimation, interpretation, robustness, and external validity. The framework is operationalized through practical checklists, tables, diagnostic and falsification tests, and AI-assisted tools, making it accessible across fields such as epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, and regulatory risk analysis. Designed to meet the needs of professionals making high-stakes decisions based on nonexperimental data, the book addresses the lack of clear, testable criteria for credible causal inference. Real-world examples throughout the book illustrate diagnostics, falsification tests, and robustness checks, linking evidence directly to decision-making. Bridging multiple causal frameworks and modern machine-learning methods, it equips readers to assess when data support cause-and-effect conclusions, supporting more responsible, evidence-based policy and risk management.The book offers health risk analysts, epidemiologists, and policy professionals a practical guide to valid causal inference from observational data. It is also ideal for graduate students and workshop participants in data science, decision analysis, risk analysis, and AI/ML applications.

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.
