'Microfoundations' has become prominent in the discourse of management scholars. But what is it and how does it matter? This Element provides a characterization of microfoundations based on classical work on the methodology of social science and documents and discusses its manifestations in management research over the last one and a half decades. It also covers the relation of microfoundations to multilevel research, criticisms of microfoundations, and empirical research strategies for microfoundations.

This open access book tells the story of how Sweden is becoming a virtually cashless society. Its goal is to improve readers' understanding of what is driving this transition, and of the factors that are fostering and hampering it. In doing so, the book covers the role of central banks, political factors, needs for innovation, and the stakeholders involved in developing a cashless ecosystem. Adopting a historical standpoint, and drawing on a unique dataset, it presents an academic perspective on Sweden's leading role in this global trend. The global interest in the future of cash payments makes the Swedish case particularly interesting. As a country that is close to becoming a cashless economy, it offers a role model for many other countries to learn from - whether they want to stimulate or reduce the use of cash. This highly topical book will be of interest to politicians, researchers, businesses, financial service providers and payment service providers, as well as fintech start-ups, regulators and other authorities.

"This book provides a systematic approach to analyzing macroeconomic developments, focusing on macroeconomic accounts, analysis, and the effects of selected policies on a nation's economy. The first part of the book describes the data, accounts, and analysis of the four main macroeconomic sectors — real, external, fiscal, and monetary — and discusses the accounting and economic relations among these sectors, using a flow of funds approach. Key indicators are presented for each sector and used to show how macroeconomic developments can be assessed and problems identified. The second part of the book discusses fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate policy and their economic implications. These policies, along with selected structural reforms, are compared along several dimensions and shown how they can be used, in various combinations or individually, to address a variety of macroeconomic difficulties."--

This book introduces a new approach in the field of macroeconomic inventory studies: the use of multivariate statistics to evaluate long-term characteristics of inventory investments in developed countries. By analyzing a 44-year period series of annual inventory change in percentage of GDP in a set of OECD countries, disclosing their relationship to growth, industry structure and alternative uses of GDP (fixed capital investments, foreign trade and consumption), it fills a gap in the economic literature. It is generally accepted that inventories play an important role in all levels of the economy. However, while there is extensive literature on micro- (and even item-) level inventory problems, macroeconomic inventory studies are scarce. Both the long-term processes of inventory formation and their correlation with other macroeconomic factors provide interesting conclusions about economic changes and policies in our immediate past, and present important insights for the future

This book brings together a collection of papers on international trade and international finance, instead of treating the two as disjoint fields of study. The volume, while focusing on the recent developments and frontiers of research in international trade and international finance, also emphasizes the inherent integrated nature of the two subjects; some of the papers are overlapping across the two areas. A unique feature of the proposed volume is that it unravels some new issues in addition to re-examining certain old issues in a new perspective and thus covers wide ranging issues with an emphasis on policy. The book covers issues mostly relating to emerging market economies, which has increasingly assumed importance in the context of globalization. The book contains some survey papers covering the frontiers of current knowledge on important themes like recent developments in trade theory and empirics, foreign exchange market, institutions in trade and finance, interrelation and interaction between international trade and international finance. The papers, fruit of rigorous and original research, are written by internationally and nationally reputed authors along with promising young researchers on the subjects. The book substantially contributes to the growing literature on issues relating to trade and international finance in emerging market economies and extends the frontiers of knowledge. The book is expected to have the widest possible readership comprising of advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as senior researchers working in international trade and international finance

Markus Henze geht der Frage nach, ob der einheitliche Abwicklungsmechanismus (SRM) den Anspruch erfüllt, Bankenrettungen seitens des Staates abzuwenden und das Ausfallrisiko bei jenen Akteuren anzusiedeln, welchen auch die erwirtschafteten Gewinne zustehen, nämlich den Finanzinstituten selbst. Der Autor analysiert die Regelungen der zentralen Bankenabwicklung in der Eurozone aus rechtlicher und ökonomischer Sicht und zeigt, dass die bisherigen Regularien noch sichtbare Schwächen aufweisen. Diese Schwächen gilt es zu beseitigen, um den Teufelskreis zwischen Banken- und Staatsschuldenkrisen wirksam zu durchbrechen und das Vertrauen in den europäischen Finanzsektor zu stärken. Der Inhalt • Rechtsakttrio und Regelungsübersicht • Rechtstatsachen im Verhältnis zum europäischen Primärrecht • Volkswirtschaftliche Notwendigkeiten eines europäischen Abwicklungsregimes • Praxistauglichkeit des Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) • Krisenprävention versus Krisenbewältigung Die Zielgruppen • Dozierende und Studierende der VWL mit den Schwerpunkten Finanzmarktregulierung, Banken- und Finanz(aufsichts-)recht, Europarecht und Verfassungsrecht • Praktiker im Sektor Finanzmarktaufsicht und -regulierung, (Finanz-)Politiker   Der Autor Markus Henze absolvierte den Bachelor of Laws an der Brunswick European Law School (BELS) und war während seines Wirtschaftsrechtsstudiums u. a. in einer renommierten norddeutschen Insolvenzverwalterkanzlei tätig
