Book Description
Economies evolve and are subject to sudden shifts precipitated by legislative changes, economic policy, major discoveries, and political turmoil. Macroeconometric models are a very imperfect tool for forecasting this highly complicated and changing process. Ignoring these factors leads to a wide discrepancy between theory and practice.
In their second book on economic forecasting, Michael P. Clements and David F. Hendry ask why some practices seem to work empirically despite a lack of formal support from theory. After reviewing the conventional approach to economic forecasting, they look at the implications for causal modeling, present a taxonomy of forecast errors, and delineate the sources of forecast failure. They show that forecast-period shifts in deterministic factors--interacting with model misspecification, collinearity, and inconsistent estimation--are the dominant source of systematic failure. They then consider various approaches for avoiding systematic forecasting errors, including intercept corrections, differencing, co-breaking, and modeling regime shifts; they emphasize the distinction between equilibrium correction (based on cointegration) and error correction (automatically offsetting past errors). Finally, they present three applications to test the implications of their framework. Their results on forecasting have wider implications for the conduct of empirical econometric research, model formulation, the testing of economic hypotheses, and model-based policy analyses.

Customer Reviews:
a nice basic little book.......2006-06-16
A nice basic little book on this subject that might suit a child or anyone with a little bit of interest in the subject and can not find better books in the library or find a good source on the internet.
Great coverage in a brief work.......2006-03-25
While this might look like a simple kids book/pamphlet on the cover, there is far more inside this extremely well illustrated guide. The author does a fine job providing a wide overview of the most important cannons of the ACW, textual summaries of each and sufficient details of their fundamental stats. The amazing part is how much the author has fit between a mere 72 pages. This work is very inexpensive and should prove useful to anyone touring Civil War battlefields, interested in Civil War gaming, reenacting, or curious about civil war cannons.
Excellent Introduction.......2003-09-11
A friend of mine recently recruited me into his Civil War re-enactment unit. It was an artillery unit and this book was my introduction to Civil War artillery. Dean Thomas writes an excellent introduction starting his readers with organization and drill. Many readers may have known that sponging the barrel cooled it, but they may not have thought about the added effect of extinguishing any smoldering cartridge bags. Thomas then leads his readers through ordnance and types of cannons (where, when, and how used), and concludes with implements used with the cannons. To top it all off Thomas supplies his readers with a lavish supply of actual Civil War photographs.

Book Description
This work examines America's growing underground economy--its size, nature, and economic effects. The study begins with a critical analysis of the various methods used for measuring the size of the underground economy in the United States. It then develops a definition of the underground economy which is consistent with our system of national accounts. A sector-by-sector approach is used to measure the actual size of this sub-economy and to estimate the labor force involved. Finally, the author explores the economic consequences for the general economy of significant underground economic activity--for example: tax evasion, economic efficiency, and cyclical aspects. This work will be of interest to scholars, students, and policy-makers in economics, economic policy, political science, and criminology.

Book Description
A comprehensive guide written specially for executives of multinational enterprises, this volume presents a practical, in-depth discussion of the transfer pricing problem. The author explains the significance of designing appropriate transfer pricing policies and shows how existing policies can be modified and improved to help a firm achieve global objectives and maximize global profits. Detailed guidelines for both short- and long-range planning activities are presented, along with invaluable information about the relationships, interaction, and conflict among the tax regulations and laws of different countries. Abdallah organizes his discussion around a number of key questions regarding the nature and objectives of transfer pricing policies. He demonstrates the reasons international transfer pricing decisions are more complicated than other pricing decisions and examines the factors and variables that affect the transfer pricing policies of multinational enterprises. The book goes on to address the ways in which international transfer prices and pricing policies affect the management decision-making process, especially in the resource allocation arena. Finally, Abdallah offers both advice on evaluating the pros and cons of various policies and sound guidelines for firms which seek to reduce their international transaction costs by minimizing border and income taxes, foreign exchange risks, and costs arising from policy clashes between home and host country agencies. Numerous tables and figures illustrate points made in the text. Indispensable for managers and executives of multinational firms, this book offers the first clearcut exposition of the complex issues involved in international transfer pricing.

From the supplier: The adoption of a proactive approach to managing credit quality proved instrumental in the success of Portland, OR's citizen initiative program. Through the help of counsel and public finance professionals, local financial managers were able to maintain a triple A bond rating by employing strategies aimed at mitigating the adverse financial impact of citizen initiatives. Outlining tax limitation measures also proved effective in increasing revenue diversity, while providing optimal protection for the general fund.
