Rawson L: GovCon Accounting

GovCon Accounting

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book explores the best ways for governments to design venture capital investment incentives.

Venture capital is a multi-billion-dollar industry and a major driver of innovation and national growth. Investment in startup companies by venture capital funds helps finance new inventions and create wealth, economic growth, and jobs. However, because venture capital investment is highly risky and sensitive to market downturns, many governments around the world use special legal and tax incentives to help encourage this form of investment. Since the introduction of the first venture capital incentive in the USA in 1958, scores of venture capital incentives have come and gone. These incentives have experienced varied success, with some failing entirely.

Filling a gap in an important area, this book employs a legal and regulatory approach to examine venture capital policy from a global perspective. It uses an analytical framework to evaluate the design, implementation, and success of incentives, and looks at over 60 examples from 25 countries around the world. 

The book is aimed at researchers and policy makers in law, finance and economics, as well as practitioners and investors in the venture capital space. The book introduces the legal aspects of venture capital investment and presents a list of leading practice guidelines and recommendations to help policy makers design effective, efficient, and appropriate venture capital incentives.

Eurasian Business and Economics Perspectives

This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a 'level playing field' extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made.
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G. Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles. The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders-players, athletes, and spectators-or those of a powerful ruling elite. By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality. This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies.

Nothing to Do with Fair Play

A Socio-Legal Critique of Sports Regulation

Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Law

This volume provides a comprehensive legal analysis of the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the organization of work. As algorithmic management is proliferating across industries, market players have started utilizing automated decision-making tools throughout the entire employment lifecycle, from hiring to contract termination. The digitalization process has also paved the way to the creation of new professions as well as of unprecedented virtual spaces of work, which can potentially become a tool for the training and qualification of workers who are already employed (even in traditional jobs: e.g., drivers and janitors). Furthermore, as the widespread debate on the so-called Predictive Justice showcases, AI might be used in the adjudication of labour disputes by either Courts or Arbitrators. The book initially maps, from a theoretical point of view, the core issues emerging from the use of AI in the organization of work. The second part of the volume displays how the same issues are addressed by the policy makers and/or by the social partners in a selected pool of countries, both from the EU context and from the non-EU context. Especially - but not exclusively - for the non-EU Countries, the Authors investigate the role of other pieces of legislation, such as the rules in matter of privacy and/or the antidiscrimination policies, in the protection of workers from the risks associated with AI. The core message of the book is that AI is a driver of both risks and opportunities for work; hence, a moderate and careful approach by the policy makers and by the social partners is due in order to strike a fair balance between the promotion of the technological progress and the protection of workers' rights.

A Global Overview

Artificial Intelligence and Labour Law

The Economics of Public Issues bridges the gap between abstract economic theory and the real-world outcomes of public policy. Written in clear, accessible language, it explores why well-intentioned programs-from rent control and stimulus spending to climate initiatives-so often lead to results that differ sharply from what policymakers envisioned. Drawing upon decades of experience in law enforcement and academia, the author brings a grounded and engaging perspective on the way incentives, trade-offs, and human behavior shape every public issue.Students and general readers alike will discover how to "think like economists," using core principles such as opportunity cost, marginal analysis, and unintended consequences to analyze complex policy debates. Organized into four thematic parts, the book examines how economic reasoning applies to markets and regulation, redistribution, globalization, and environmental dimensions. Each chapter combines rigorous analysis with real-world examples and thought-provoking discussion questions, encouraging critical thinking and civic literacy.Designed for classroom use or independent reading, The Economics of Public Issues shows how understanding the why behind unintended outcomes can lead to smarter, more effective public policy. Accompanied by PowerPoint slides, a teaching guide, and MCQs, this book is a crucial companion for undergraduates, MBA students, and instructors who wish to understand that economics is not just about money, but about choice.

Alexander Archner's study begins with a thorough analysis of the history of arbitration award scrutiny and its present application by various arbitral institutions. This analysis is then used to assess the legitimacy of this control in its various forms and to explore the question of the purpose of the scrutiny.

Die Scrutiny von Schiedssprüchen

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This edited collection unravels the multiple ways in which digital intermediaries have transformed the domestic and care work sector - and what this development entails for the regulation of digital labour platforms. Domestic and care work is work like any other - but also work like no other. As a consequence, digital intermediaries in these sectors fulfil partly different functions than other digital labour platforms. Taking a comparative and interdisciplinary socio-legal approach, the book is organised into four parts. The first section describes the different business models used in various geographical areas and analyses the ways in which digital intermediaries reshape these markets. The second section examines how digital intermediaries adapt their structures and organisations to regulatory and institutional frameworks, while also exploiting regulatory gaps and grey zones. The third part of the book highlights the experiences of domestic workers who develop novel forms of platform cooperatives with the potential for better working conditions and a stronger voice. The fourth part of the books looks at the legal and regulatory challenges, discussing the challenge of classifying digital intermediation in care and domestic work not only in relation to employment/self-employment, but also in relation to the third party in the triangular relationship: the private household. The book analyses cases from South and Central Europe, Southeast Europe, the UK, South Africa and Latin America; its interdisciplinary approach, with sociological, anthropological and legal perspectives make the book an important reference in this emerging field of study.

SIDREA Series in Accounting and Business Administration

This book explores how sustainability and accountability are reshaping the way companies assess and manage performance across global supply chains. Faced with growing stakeholder and regulatory pressure, organizations are called to integrate non-financial metrics into strategic decision-making and to report transparently on their social and environmental impacts.
Grounded in a systematic literature review, the volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between sustainability, accountability, and supply chain management. It develops a conceptual framework for understanding how corporate performance evaluation can evolve to include broader dimensions of responsibility, aligning with emerging standards and institutional expectations.
Aimed at scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers, this work provides both an overview of current debates and a structured research agenda for future inquiry. It stands as a timely contribution to advancing sustainable and accountable business practices in an increasingly interconnected economy.

Research Avenues on the Interplay Between Regulations, Standards and Emerging Practices

Sustainability and Accountability of Supply Chains

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic futureIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a Sudanese immigrant who developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601, whose Preamble set out a list of charitable purposes which has formed the basis of the modern legal definition of charity. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

Landmark Cases in Charity Law

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.
