Fiscal Institutions and Fiscal Performance (National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report)

Book Description

The unprecedented rise and persistence of large-scale budget deficits in many developed and developing nations during the past three decades has caused great concern. The widespread presence of such deficits has proved difficult to explain. Their emergence in otherwise diverse nations defies particularistic explanations aimed at internal economic developments within a specific country.

Fiscal Institutions and Fiscal Performance shifts emphasis away from narrow economic factors to more broadly defined political and institutional factors that affect government policy and national debt. This collection brings together new theoretical models, empirical evidence, and a series of in-depth case studies to analyze the effect of political institutions, fiscal regulations, and policy decisions on accumulating deficits. It provides a fascinating overview of the political and economic issues involved and highlights the role of budgetary institutions in the formation of budget deficits.

From the supplier: The conference on fiscal institutions and fiscal performance revealed the influential role that fragmentation and ideology play in determining fiscal policy. Fragmentation arises when there are numerous participants in the budget process. Ideology, on the other hand, connotes the position of the ruling party which lies either on a liberal or conservative spectrum. It was also revealed that states with a lenient anti-deficit constitution have higher borrowing costs compared to states with strict anti-deficit provisions.

Self-employment gurus Paul and Sarah Edwards and their co-author Rick Benzel strongly believe that "lone eagles"--those traditional embodiments of the business world's entrepreneurial spirit--may actually be an endangered species as the commercial world becomes increasingly cutthroat and competitive. Their solution? Mutually beneficial alliances. Teaming Up: The Small-Business Guide to Collaborating With Others to Increase Your Earnings, Reduce Your Costs, and Boost Your Business to New Levels examines this new concept and explains how to move from self-reliance to interdependence.

From Cross Marketing to Incorporating Everything You Need to Know about Teaming Up to Do Business.......2005-12-28

If you have a small business and want to grow your income, you'll find this book a helpful guide to how you can team up with other business owners to market your business or to provide services or goods. There is a wealth of very practical advice on ten different "win-win" ways to team up from simple networking through joint ventures and virtual organizations. The book covers all the aspects of teaming from the legal and financial aspects of different arrangements to the psychology of relationships to the realities of business break ups. While not a substitute for individual legal or accounting advice, the book can help you think through the options and clarify your questions for the experts so that you can reduce costs and make your interactions with the experts more efficient and effective.

A definite primer for networking!.......1999-06-21

Networking may seem like an obvious way to tell people about your business, but this book is full of wonderful details that help you build your business by cross-promoting and working with other entrepreneurs.

In their usual personal style, the authors define the various strategies for business arrangements, allowing you to choose the ones that are right for you.

You will learn the 10 effective ways of teaming up with others, how to find the right people to network with, business aspects of joint relationships, continuing the working relationship, and when to move on or stay on your chosen collaborative path.

A definite primer for networking, I recommend that any business owner, especially those in home business, learn the principles covered in Teaming Up.

Necessary success strategies for the future of work........1997-07-22

The choice is no longer should you go into business for yourself but when. Eventually we will all be self employed. Current employment trends, as spelled out by Jeremy Rifkin in "The End of Work," show that within the next decade over 90 million of today's 124 million jobs are in danger of elimination due to technology. Countless articles have been written about developing your resume while you're still employed and how to act as if you are self-employed even while working for a corporation. Today, more than at any other time in our history, we are being faced with the probability of losing our job and having to find another or becoming self-employed. The strategies, techniques, self-tests, and advice contained in Teaming Up are absolutely essential for everyone who plans to continue working into the future. It is a must read for all of our members. Chris Hansen, President, The Home Based Business Council, Inc.

Book Description

You can't make sense and order out of your day unless you first make sense of your life. This is the crux of The 25-Hour Woman ®. Many people struggle with the tension they feel between all the things they have to do, or even want to do, and the limited time they have in which to do them. And, much of the time they end up living according to pressures rather than priorities. In The 25-Hour Woman ®, Sybil Stanton asks the questions:

* Are the things you're doing now fulfilling your purpose in life?
* Is your endless to-do list really necessary?
* Is there a way off this treadmill of activity that can help you function more happily and effectively?

With an appealing combination of wit and common sense, this author takes her readers through the steps of life planning, showing how to:

* Do less and get more done
* Avoid feeling victimized by conflicting demands
* Relax without feeling guilty
* Be better disciplined yet more flexible
* Say "no" to doing too much
* Enjoy rather than endure the process of life

The 25-Hour Woman ® provides a framework for looking at who you are, how you uniquely operate, and what you want out of life, and then helps you set realistic expectations in keeping with your objectives. It shows you how to establish one aim before pursuing countless activities.

The 25-Hour Woman ® will liberate you off the treadmill and into a calm and productive pace of living.

Great book on mobile security.......2002-03-12

I really liked this book due to its breadth and attention to examples. Since the book goes from basics to advanced topics, it was easy to understand. The authors did a good job in bringing up theory and tying it to practical applications. The diagrams and tables were very useful as I seriously did not plan to read every page! The IT manager notes and tips boxes were nice so that, again, I did not have to read every single page!

The other thing I liked was the actual layout of the material. It was relatively easy to read and the diagrams, text size, and headings all made it useful as a reference book. I do plan to refer back to this as it seems to have very interesting material that can be used as a basis elsewhere.

Excellent Book on Mobile Security!.......2002-01-05

This book is awesome - it is easy to understand, well layed out and covers practically all aspects of security within the mobile commerce space. It has well written case studies and hands-on implementation examples throughout the chapters. Managers and Developers - buy it - you will enjoy it! It hits the sweet spot of mCommerce, from wi-fi and bluetooth to so many applications and industries. My favorite portion are the case studies - I haven't see so many in one book for a while, covering most major tools and technology sectors.
