The distinguished contributors in this volume provide a variety of essays, which are written in honor of Emmanuel Drandakis. These essays fall into four uniform areas of economics: economic growth, general equilibrium, labor economics and game theory and applications. The editors focus on a select set of issues that stand high on the agenda of academic research. They provide fresh insights and approaches to the analysis of these issues, and thus open up wider avenues for our understanding of the dilemmas posed for theory and policy. Readers are offered new empirical evidence on such thorny social problems as, for example, unemployment, the intergenerational transmission of human capital and the response of wages to price and endowment changes.

Many of the contributors are from Athens University, Greece, where economist Drandakis taught for four decades before his recent retirement. Focusing on his primary interests of economic growth, general equilibrium, labor economics, and game theory and its applications, the 14 essays consider such topics as discounting and the growth of net national product, beliefs and the neutrality of money, the incidence of increased unemployment in the Group of Seven from 1970 to 1974, labor incentives and manumission in ancient Greek slavery, and the economics of research joint ventures.
