Workbook On Cointegration
Authors: Hansen Peter Reinhard , Johansen Søren 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This workbook is a companion to the textbook Likelihood-Based Inference in Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive Models, also published by Oxford University Press. The workbook contains exercises and solutions concerned with the theory of cointegration in the vector autoregressive model. The main text has been used for courses on Cointegration, and many of the exercises have been posed as either training exercises or exam questions. Many of them are challenging and summarize results published in the literature. Each chapter starts with a brief summary of the content of the corresponding chapter in the main text, which introduces the notation and the most important results.
Context Is All: Feminism and Theories of Citizenship
Authors: Dietz Mary G 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Margaret Atwood’s powerful novel The Handmaid’s Tale, the heroine Offred, a member of a new class of ‘two-legged wombs’ in a dystopian society, often thinks to herself, ‘Context is all: Offred reminds us of an important truth: at each moment of our lives our every thought, value, and act—from the most mundane to the most lofty—takes its meaning and purpose from the wider political and social reality that constitutes and conditions us. In her newly reduced circumstances, Offred comes to see that matters beyond one’s immediate purview make a great deal of difference with respect to living a more or less free and fully human life. But her realization comes too late.
Beyond God the Father
Authors: Daly Mary 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Mary Daly is the feminist theologian most likely to be known to feminists outside the ranks of organized religion. Beyond God the Father remains a prophetic book, raising concerns that later become central in both English-speaking and French feminist theory. Daly accuses Christian theology of the heresy it most opposes idolatry. Like liberation theology, feminist theology highlights the way that ‘false gods’ kill genuine hope for a better world. Daly is a sophisticated analyst of religious language and, drawing implicitly on Feuerbachian theories of projection, anticipates the French philosopher and psychoanalyst Luce lrigaray in saying that women need to name God (correctly) in order newly to name themselves.
Pornography and Rape: A Causal Model
Authors: Russell Diana E H 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Proponents of the anti-pornography-equals-censorship school deliberately obfuscate any distinction between erotica and pornography, using the term erotica for all sexually explicit materials (e.g. Pally 1994; Strossen 1995). In contrast, most anti-pornography feminists consider it vitally important to distinguish between pornography and erotica (see Itzin 1992; Lederer 1980; Russell 1993). While condemning pornography, most of us approve of, or even advocate, erotica. Although women’s bodies are the staple of adult pornography, it is important to have a gender-neutral definition that encompasses the various types of pornography, including gay pornography and child pornography.
The Elect Nation
Authors: Polizzotto Lorenzo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Elect Nation is the first comprehensive study of the religious, political and cultural movement inspired by Savonarola. Based on a thorough examination of archival material and manuscript sources, the book argues that the followers of Savonarola exercised a profound influence on every facet of Florentine life during the important period of the city's transition from republic to principate. It is the author's contention that their ideology and activities provide the key to understanding not only the policital developments of the last years of the Florentine Republic, but also the nature of contemporary political debate and the characteristics of the merging Medicean Principate. A major preoccupation of the book is to show how the Savonarolans as a group managed to survive the execution of their leaders and to regain their strength and influence. The author traces their networks of support and analyses the way in which they infiltrated and restructured existing Florentine institutions to their advantage. He also reveals how they exploited spiritual counselling and lay and religious partronage to expand their influence, and, in particular, how they ensured the survival of their movement by forming an anti-Medicean alliance of republican forces in Florence.
Knowledge Management in Policing and Law Enforcement
Authors: Dean Geoff , Gottschalk Petter 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Sharing knowledge in policing remains a significant challenge for police forces around the world. The Bichard Inquiry examined the effectiveness of police forces’ information sharing and found it to be severely lacking. This unique book sets out the conceptual framework for knowledge management and explains how a greater understanding of the subject can help policing at an operational level. The book is split into a clear and logical three part structure: Part I covers the foundations of knowledge management and the key security issues in relation to a ‘globalised’ world of crime and terrorism, Part II looks at the building of structures and the use of applications and Part III integrates the first two parts by providing illustrative examples of working applications of police-specific knowledge management systems. Drawing on examples from around the world, the book takes the reader through the range of different systems and approaches and shows how they can be implemented in practice using illustrative case studies and practical diagrams. This is an ideal purchase for all police professionals and policing academics with an interest in, or role in knowledge management systems.
New directions in the analysis of inequality and poverty
Authors: Jenkins Stephen P , Micklewright John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Over the last four decades, academic and wider public interest in inequality and poverty has grown substantially. This book aims to contribute to debates about the analysis of inequality and poverty and to provide new empirical evidence from around the world. Papers written by an international cast list of authors form the remaining twelve chapters. An overview of these chapters follows in the second part of this Introduction. First, however, we place them in a wider context, relating them to previous research, by addressing the question: what have been the major new directions in the analysis of inequality and poverty over the last thirty to forty years? This time period coincides with a marked upsurge in interest in income distribution and related topics.
Inequality of learning in industrialized countries
Authors: Micklewright John , Schnepf Sylke V 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The importance of human capital in determining incomes leads quickly to interest in the extent of educational inequalities. Differences in education have a major impact on the distribution of earnings and on the number and characteristics of the poor. Inequalities in education also help produce disparities in well-being in dimensions other than income. These include both obvious dimensions—such as improved health and higher occupational status—and less obvious ones such as ability to perceive and take advantage of a range of opportunities: ‘the educational level of the retired, for example, is relevant to their capacity to participate in society and to take part in the democratic process’ (Atkinson et al. 2002: 128).
On the multidimensionality of poverty and social exclusion
Authors: Nolan Brian , Whelan Christopher T 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
While poverty is still most often measured in terms of income, it has long been said that poverty is ‘not just about money’. The widespread adoption of the terminology of social exclusion/inclusion in Europe reflects inter alia the concern that focusing simply on income misses an important part of the picture. There is an increasing emphasis on the multidimensionality of poverty and social exclusion, and on the need to incorporate indicators relating to dimensions other than income. Thus the set of indicators adopted by the European Union (EU) to monitor social inclusion at the Laeken Council in 2001 include not only measures of income poverty and income inequality, but also educational disadvantage, health inequalities, unemployment and worklessness;1 such a multidimensional approach has been adopted in many of the EU member states and other developed countries.
Robust multidimensional poverty comparisons with discrete indicators of well-being
Authors: Duclos Jean-Yves , Sahn David , Younger Stephen D 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Most poverty analysts agree that poverty is multidimensional in theory. In practice, empirical poverty studies are overwhelmingly univariate, with most economists limiting their attention to poverty defined in terms of having low income or low consumption expenditure. This chapter is part of a larger research agenda that aims to bring the empirical literature closer to the widely accepted theory.1 In particular, we show that it is both interesting and practicable to make poverty comparisons when poverty is measured using more than one dimension of well-being.
Gender, Writing, and Performance
Authors: Swift Helen J . 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book explores the poetics of literary defences of women written by men in late-medieval and early-modern France. It fills an important lacuna in studies of this polemic in imaginative literature by bridging the gap between Christine de Pizan and a later generation of women writers and male, Neo-Platonist writers who have recently all received due critical attention. Whereas male-authored defences composed between 1440 and 1538 have previously been dismissed as 'insincere' or 'mere intellectual games', Swift formulates reading strategies to overcome such critical stumbling blocks and engage with the particular rhetorical and historical contexts of these works. Edited and as yet unedited texts by Martin Le Franc, Jacques Milet, Pierre Michault, and Jean Bouchet-catalogues of women, allegorical narratives, and debate poems-are brought together and analysed in detail for the first time in order to explore, for example, how such works address the misogynistic spectre of Jean de Meun's Roman de la rose. The book seeks to understand the contemporary popularity of the case for women (la querelle des femmes) as literary subject matter. It investigates the publication history across this period, from manuscript to print, of Le Franc's Le Champion des dames. Swift further aims to show how these texts hold interest for modern audiences. A nexus of theoretical concerns centred on performance - Judith Butler's gender performativity, Derrida's re-working of Austin's linguistic performativity through spectrality, and dramatic performance - is enlisted to articulate the interpretative engagement expected by querelle writers of their audience. The reading strategies proposed foster a nuanced and enriched perspective on the question of a male author's 'sincerity' when writing in defence of women.
Greed, Lust & Gender
Authors: Folbre Nancy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
When does the pursuit of self-interest go too far, lapsing into morally unacceptable behaviour? Until the unprecedented events of the recent global financial crisis economists often seemed unconcerned with this question, even suggesting that “greed is good.” A closer look, however, suggests that greed and lust are generally considered good only for men, and then only outside the realm of family life. The history of Western economic ideas shows that men have given themselves more cultural permission than women for the pursuit of both economic and sexual self-interest. Feminists have long contested the boundaries of this permission, demanding more than mere freedom to act more like men. Women have gradually gained the power to revise our conceptual and moral maps and to insist on a better-and less gendered-balance between self-interest and care for others. This book brings women’s work, their sexuality, and their ideas into the center of the dialectic between economic history and the history of economic ideas. It describes a spiralling process of economic and cultural change in Great Britain, France, and the United States since the 18th century that shaped the evolution of patriarchal capitalism and the larger relationship between production and reproduction. This feminist reinterpretation of our past holds profound implications for today’s efforts to develop a more humane and sustainable form of capitalism.
The Unproductive Housewife
Authors: Folbre Nancy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Numbers often seem less easily twisted than mere words. Census reports and national income accounts lend an aura of objectivity to economic history, generating numbers that trace consistent narratives of increased female labor force participation along with economic growth. But the categories behind the numbers tell their own story, reflecting philosophical assumptions, economic theories, and collective interests. Ironically, economic growth itself seems to unleash forces that can retrospectively affect its measurement and interpretation.
A Long-term Appraisal of Country Risk
Authors: Jones EL 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Whether Hungarian politburo members or Chinese students, they have seen the capitalist-imperialist past and it works (Timothy Garton-Ash, The Spectator, 27 May 1989). This paper deals with two sets of issues. The first alludes to the recurrent tendency towards growth within the Chinese economy over the last thousand years. My principal aims are to indicate that southern, or coastal, China’s current achievement has not sprung up in the world’s least propitious seed-bed, as well as to relate recent changes to preceding episodes. The second set of issues touches on what I have called the ‘extricability problem’-whether or not economic growth can proceed successfully in the absence of the political and creative freedoms western history has accustomed us to associate with it.
Tax Policy: Theory and Practice in OECD Countries
Authors: Messere Ken , Kam Flip de , Heady Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
How do governments justify their choice of tax policy? What are the arguments for and against the choices they make? Are there common trends in the tax policy choices of OECD countries? This book provides a unique guide to tax policies pursued by the governments of OECD countries by assessing recent policies, offering a thorough critique of their justification and looking at actual examples of policy choice. The authors give an overview of post-war tax developments, addressing in detail topics such as the dynamics of tax revenues and public sector developments. They go on to examine the arguments for and against governments’ main tax policy choices, looking at personal income tax, social security contributions, business taxes, consumption taxation and taxes on wealth, capital gains, and property. They rigorously examine arguments used by governments to justify certain policy choices, providing an objective evaluation of both the valid and invalid arguments for the choices made with regard to domestic taxation. In addition to a thorough critique of recent tax policies, the book looks at the actual tax choices of 25 of the thirty OECD countries and aims to identify the similarities and the differences between them. The authors draw on these real examples and on their considerable experience in assessing possibilities for future tax systems. The book will be of special interest to academics and students in the field of public finance, national and international tax policymakers, politicians, and journalists.
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?*: Corporate Governance Failures in the Transition
Authors: Stiglitz Joseph E 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Two economic events have dominated the twentieth century-the socialist/communist experiment that began in the Soviet Union in 1917 and ended with the fall of the Soviet Empire just under a decade ago; and the transition of these economies to market economies during the past decade. There is widespread agreement about the lessons from the first-central planning cannot replace markets, and even market socialism cannot replace the incentives associated with capitalism-incentives to produce goods more cheaply, to produce what consumers want, and to innovate. But the lessons from the second experiment are far more ambiguous, and it is upon these that l want to focus my remarks today.
From Insulation to Appeasement: the Major and Blair Governments Reconsidered
Authors: Patterson Henry 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Until the archives in London, Dublin, and Washington are open and unless the IRA provides the minutes of its Army Council, it is impossible to do more than offer a provisional judgement on the roles played by the Major and Blair Governments in the peace process. Yet, it is at least possible to lay to rest one of the myths that has already gained credence in both journalistic and academic accounts, namely that the Belfast Agreement was possible only because the Blair Government broke with the approach of John Major. The Major administration’s alleged failure to exploit constructively the first IRA cease-fire in 1994 is claimed to have resulted in its collapse, endangering the historic opportunity created by the work of the real authors of the peace process, John Hume, Gerry Adams, and Albert Reynolds. It was Major’s insistence that the IRA begin the process of decommissioning its arsenal that, according to critics, destroyed the first cease fire.
New Research in Financial Markets
Authors: Biais Bruno , Pagano Marco 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In recent years, European financial economists have been brought together, via research projects and conferences, by the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). These fruitful interactions have contributed to the development of financial economics in Europe, and have generated a strong flow of interesting writing—both theoretical and empirical—in the fields of financial markets and corporate finance. The chapters in this volume and its companion volume, “Corporate Finance and Baking: A Reader”, reflect the depth and breadth of the research interests of European scholars in financial economics. The analysis of financial markets presented in this collection enhances our understanding of asset pricing, both in the context of perfect markets and in the context of market imperfections, such as asymmetric information. Those chapters that appear in “Corporate Finance and Banking” further our understanding of the interaction between business cycle and financial imperfections, IPOs, takeover bids, and the interplay between banks and financial markets. Together, these two volumes comprise an authoritative and invaluable reference tool for scholars and others working in the fields of finance, corporate finance, and monetary economics.
Just How Big is Global Production Sharing?
Authors: Yeats Alexander J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Historically, the development of international production-sharing activities has been a major and evolving process. In one of its earliest forms, this process involved the production of primary commodities in developing countries, shipment of these goods to industrial nations for further processing, and then the re-exportation (in part) of the processed product back to the primary-commodity-producing country. As an example, iron ore might be mined in Mauritania, shipped to Europe for processing into iron and steel products-some of which were then re-exported to Mauritania. In part these ‘production-sharing’ trade flows were based on comparative advantage (some commodity processing, such as the fabrication of metals from ores or petroleum refining, is highly capital intensive), but other factors such as ‘escalation’ in industrial countries’ trade barriers also contributed to this exchange pattern.
Joining the Global Economy: Experience and Prospects of the Transition Economies
Authors: Kierzkowski Henr Yk 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Nearly a decade ago, a group of countries in Central Europe embarked on the road towards a market economy. The transformation process was ignited by Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, but it spread rapidly south towards Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, and Yugoslavia. A huge wave of fundamental reforms has also swept across what was then known as the Soviet Union. Today, there are, all in all, twenty-six transition economies if the term is reserved for members of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. They represent a significant part of the world economy in terms of population, area, natural resources, and economic potential.
Employment
Authors: McNay Kirsty , Unni ℱeemol , Cassen Robert 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The task of ensuring employment for the labour force has been a persistent concern throughout India’s post-independence development. Demographic trends contribute to the difficulty of the task. Between 1971 and 2001 the 15–59 working-age population grew faster than the population as a whole, and comprised 602 million people in 2001, more than double its size in 1971. Whereas the growth rate of the total population has already started to slow, the working–age population will reach its peak growth rate only during 2001–6. It will continue to grow faster than total population to 2026, when it will be about 1.5 times as large as in 2001, comprising 925 million people. At the same time, despite economic growth and optimism from pro-reform analysts about the employment implications of liberalization, the economy’s ability to provide employment during the 1990s has in many ways proved disappointing. According to the NSS, the number of people counted as unemployed on the ‘current daily status’ (CDS) basis increased from 20 million in 1993–4 to nearly 27 million in 1999–2000. In addition, there is evidence that the quality of available work has deteriorated.
The Economy—Past and Future
Authors: Acharya Shankar , Cassen Robert , McNay Kirsty 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
India’s economy grew at about 6 per cent a year over the decade up to 2001—an increase in performance over previous decades. This chapter examines the prospects for continued rapid growth in the Indian economy in the medium term. It also considers growth at the state level, and the record in social expenditure. The economic literature is replete with analyses of the causes of growth— most of which have been shown to be false or at best only partially true. For a long time the prime candidate was physical capital: countries had mainly to achieve an adequate level of investment and then they would ‘take off’ into sustained growth (Lewis 1954; Rostow 1960). Clearly investment is an important ingredient of growth. Countries need infrastructure, and labour has to work with equipment to become more productive. But research has shown that countries can invest without growing very much, and grow without investing very much, at least for considerable periods. As early as the 1950s, Robert Solow had shown that long-run growth could not be determined by investment: if labour were in fixed supply, there must eventually be diminishing returns to increasing the amount of capital. Then only technological change could maintain or increase the rate of growth (Solow 1957).
Czech Republic

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The year 1989 was not the beginning of the history of the Czechoslovak state. The totalitarian state which governed from 1948 collapsed during the chilly days of the Velvet Revolution. Legislative space was opened for a major metamorphosis of domestic law.3 Human rights and the rule of law became the turning point for the process of the transformation of law. Human rights suddenly ceased to be subject to the strong impact of political and ideological indoctrination and were now intended to become the quintessence of legal existence for an individual.
