Economics of Sustainable Growth

Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems

This volume would prove to be a beneficial textbook option for economics faculties wishing to offer a PhD level course on quantitative developmental economics or applied economics. This reference volume offers a gentle introduction to various state-of-the-art mathematical and econometric modelling techniques with detailed applications. Each chapter, written by experienced scholars, describe a particular quantitative method for economic modelling and policy analysis. The chapters not only cover the theoretical foundations in a student-friendly language but also provide step-by-step guide to computational aspects. Real-world applications, given in each chapter, focus on the socio-economic conditions and well-being of people in the developing economies and middle-income countries.

Quantitative Methods for Applied Development Economics and Policy Analysis

This textbook aims to systematically identify the factors and mechanisms that influence the sustainability of cooperative enterprises, which have unique characteristics that distinguish them from investor-owned firms, by analyzing existing theoretical and empirical literature, as well as success and failure cases of cooperatives. In recent years, cooperatives have proliferated in many countries and across a wide range of sectors and types. The sustainability of cooperatives as an alternative enterprise is crucial for the creation and maintenance of decent work, the creation of socially integrated employment, the provision of participatory social services, and the restoration of local community. Since cooperatives are a form of enterprise, the knowledge of traditional business administration textbooks can be helpful in managing a cooperative. However, the problem is that most of the contents of business management textbooks, are mainly designed for profit-seeking enterprises, so they are often not appropriate for cooperative enterprises. For example, cooperatives have different business objectives, different ownership types, different capital financing methods, different business relationships, and different cultures than profit-seeking companies. These differences need to be reflected in business strategy, corporate strategy, internal organizational design, financial strategy, and corporate culture and leadership formation strategies. If the cooperative's purpose and values are not reflected in each area of the cooperative's management, the purpose and values will become taxidermy, and the cooperative will disappear from the capitalist market competition, or even if it survives, its original purpose and values will fade and it will be indistinguishable from profit-seeking enterprises. This book is designed and written to contribute to the understanding of co-operative management by analyzing existing research findings that may have implications for the success of co-operative management.

An Organizational Economics Approach

Strategic Management of Cooperatives

This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to industrial economics, designed to help readers understand how markets and firms operate in theory and practice. 
Beginning with the benchmark model of perfect competition, the book explains why economists use this idealized structure to assess efficiency and consumer welfare. The book examines real-world market structures—monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition—where firms exercise strategic power over prices and output. Chapters explore how companies compete, cooperate, and innovate, drawing on case-based examples to illustrate the dynamics of market behavior. The text also addresses regulation and competition policy, tracing the origins of antitrust legislation and presenting tools for measuring market power. These chapters equip readers to evaluate policy interventions and their implications for business strategy and consumer outcomes.
In its final section, the book turns to the economics of information, focusing on contract theory and the principal–agent problem. It demonstrates how incentives and asymmetric information shape decision-making within firms and markets, offering insights into governance and organizational design.
Combining rigorous analysis with practical applications, this book is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students in economics and business, as well as for readers seeking to understand the forces that shape modern industry.

The Economics of Markets, Firms, and Competition

Industrial Organization

Discover how past climatic events have shaped economic, political, and social structures.
&nbsp;
This book discusses the effects of climate change on major historical junctures, including: the evolution of our species to anatomically modern humans, human dispersal from the cradle of humanity, the peopling of our world over time, the transition to sedentary life, the introduction of farming, the collapse of complex societies, the demise of civilizations, the decline of kingdoms and empires, the outbreak of conflicts, and the spread of infectious diseases. Historical episodes explored include the evolution of hominins, human migration patterns, the development of agriculture, and the rise and fall of civilizations especially during the 4.2 ka event, the Late Bronze Age Crisis, and the Little Ice Age. Blending theoretical perspectives and evidence from multiple disciplines, the book examines how climate anomalies have led to societal changes.
Exploring the interplay between climate and economies, Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures amplifies the connections between climate change and human history. Throughout the book, economist Sherif Khalifa emphasizes the economic consequences of climate change, offering unique insights into how environmental factors have driven historical outcomes. Chapters underscore the significance of understanding these historical patterns to predict—and mitigate—potential future impacts of ongoing climate change.

Icarus Economics

This book offers a bold reimagining of Hawai‘i’s economy by exploring how localized innovation, community-led tourism, and regenerative development models can create a more resilient, equitable future. Targeted toward scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in economics, sustainability, and tourism, this book examines the limitations of Hawai‘i’s historical dependence on mass tourism and proposes pathways to diversify economic opportunity while protecting cultural and ecological resources. Key topics include destination management strategies, agritourism, regenerative tourism, the role of Native Hawaiian stewardship, and the integration of microeconomic theory into policymaking. Drawing on recent data, field case studies, and emerging public-private collaborations, this book addresses a central question: How can Hawai‘i’s shift from an extractive economic model to one that prioritizes community well-being and long-term sustainability?

The resulting book connects academic insight with grassroots innovation to help inform Hawai‘i’s economic transformation in the mid-2020s.

The second of two volumes written "in and against development" meticulously criticizes the World Bank's scholarship and assesses alternative approaches to development studies.

&nbsp;

Long self-proclaimed as the "Knowledge Bank", the World Bank is as active it is criticized for being in its endeavors to promote US interests in the the age of globalization, neoliberalism and financialization across its scholarship, ideology and policy in practice. Its analytical framing draws upon economics imperialism in general, and its evolution through three phases. Corresponding phases of new, newer and newest development economics are identified, with the World Bank taking a leading role in each, with implications for the expanding scope of development economics and its contestations with development studies.&nbsp;
