ISBN-13: 1351590138
DOWNLOAD EBOOKModern Labor Economics: Theory and Public Policy, now in its thirteenth edition, continues to be the leading text for one-semester courses in labor economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It offers a thorough overview of the modern theory of labor market behavior, and reveals how this theory is used to analyze public policy. Designed for students who may not have extensive backgrounds in economics, the text balances theoretical coverage with examples of practical applications that allow students to see concepts in action. Experienced educators for nearly four decades, co-authors Ehrenberg and Smith believe that showing students the social implications of the concepts discussed in the course will enhance their motivation to learn. As such, this text presents numerous examples of policy decisions that have been affected by the ever-shifting labor market. This new edition continues to offer: a balance of relevant, contemporary examples; coverage of the current economic climate; introduction to basic methodological techniques and problems; tools for review and further study. In addition to providing updated data and examples throughout, the thirteenth edition offers greater coverage of inequality, healthcare policy, and labor-replacing technologies. The text is also supported by a full range of companion online materials.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe "Nashville Cats" were a group of session musicians who bounced from studio to studio along Nashville's "Music Row," providing the instrumental backing tracks for countless recordings in the mid-20th century. Including music industry titans like Chet Atkins, Anita Kerr, and Charlie McCoy, these versatile Cats not only established the city as a well-known hub for recording popular music, but also defined the era of country music known as the "Nashville Sound."Drawing upon a rich array of previously unexplored primary sources and original oral histories, Nashville Cats: Record Production in Music City, 1945-1975 is the first account of the role that these musicians, along with recording engineers and record producers, played in shaping the sounds of country music during one of its most definitive periods. This era produced some of the genre's most celebrated recording artists, including Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, and Floyd Cramer. The Nashville Sound attracted musicians like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to the city's studios, and marked the establishment of a recording industry that has come to define the city of Nashville in the national and international consciousness. Author Travis D. Stimeling explores how the Nashville system came to be, how musicians functioned within it, and how the desires of an ever-growing and diversifying audience affected record production practices. Through interviews with key players of the period and close analysis of hit songs, Nashville Cats provides an exciting look into this prolific era of music history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Economists and the Powerful: Convenient Theories, Distorted Facts, Ample Rewards" explores the workings of the modern global economy - an economy in which competition has been corrupted and power has a ubiquitous influence upon economic behavior. Based on empirical and theoretical studies by distinguished economists from both the past and present day, this book argues that the true workings of capitalism are very different from the popular myths voiced in mainstream economics. Offering a closer look at the history of economic doctrines - as well as how economists are incentivized - "Economists and the Powerful" exposes how, when and why the theme of power was erased from the radar screens of mainstream economic analysis - and the influence this subversive removal has had upon the modern financial world.

Competition and Productivity

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDoes competition spur productivity? And if so, how? These have long been regarded as central questions in economics. The extent of competition can be influenced by policy decisions, so understanding how competition impacts productivity and, in turn, living standards is of more than academic importance. To fully answer these questions of whether, and how, an increase in competition impacts productivity, two issues must be addressed. First, the authors define what we mean by an ¿increase in competition.¿ Second, they attempt to understand the mechanisms through which competition impacts productivity. Both issues present substantial challenges, which the authors address. Illustrations. This is a print-on-demand publication; it is not an original.
