Description:
This paper addresses the empirical question whether the regional distribution of production factors within countries is ever so uneven that it triggers specialization of production that makes regions produce different sets of goods at different factor prices. Due to the different welfare effects of trade policy in a country with regional specialization, this is an important question. In addition, it is a question about the legitimacy of treating a country as a relatively homogenous unit. In answering these questions, I implement the concept of ''lumpiness'' as introduced by Courant and Deardorff [J. Polit. Econ. 100 (1992) 198]. I find that lumpiness or an uneven regional distribution of production factors that induces intranational specialization and different regional factor prices is not an issue for Japan, the United Kingdom and maybe not even for India.

Should be called "Remedial Self-Publishing".......2005-05-11
As Lisa Shaw's livelihood (designing and distributing greeting cards for companion animals) is near and dear to my heart, it truly pains me that I have to pan her book, "How to Make Money Publishing from Home." However, I feel as though I'd be remiss if I were to review the many other self-publishing books I've read and skip over this guide.
Before deciding to self-publish my first eBook, I ransacked my local libraries and checked out every volume I could find on self-publishing in general, and electronic publishing in particular. Ms. Shaw's book was the first to arrive, and I digested it in one night - in one sitting, actually. "Digested" is perhaps too strong of a word, though - there's so little substance in "How to Make Money..." that there wasn't anything for me to digest at all. It's so general a guide that the author manages to say very little about a whole lot.
In under 200 pages, she briefly discusses self-publishing booklets, books, greeting cards, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, software, `zines, ezines, and websites; writing, following, and revising business plans; tax and zoning issues; accounting and finances; the necessary self-publishing technology, including computers, scanners, printers, phone lines, fax machines, networking, and software; day-to-day business operations; and marketing and publicity. Thus, no one subject is afforded more than a few pages. From the wide variety of topics covered, it may appear as though Ms. Shaw offers a wealth of information in her guide. Yet, the opposite is actually true: she tries to cover so many facets of self-publishing that she doesn't adequately address any of the topics she raises. Any one of the aforementioned subjects deserves its own guide: each is so complex and complicated that only an entire book could do it justice. Indeed, if you were to perform a keyword search for any of these terms on Amazon, its search engine would return dozens of results.
My advice is this: If you're interested in self-publishing, don't try to save money and buy just one "how-to" guide (such as this one) to answer all your questions - you'd be cheating yourself as opposed to protecting your wallet. Rather, consult at least one book on traditional publishing, another about self- (or electronic) publishing, a third on marketing, yet another on taxes and finances for small businesses, and so on. "How to Make Money Publishing from Home" is so basic that it should be called "Remedial Self-Publishing" or, better yet, "Self-Publishing for Sixth Graders." There's almost no useful information in here - you're much better off spending your money (and time) elsewhere. Heck, you can even Google "self-publishing" and find more meaningful resources (and largely for free, to boot)!
Finally (and perhaps I'm just nit-picking now), the author began by introducing the different forms of self-published material (booklets, books, greeting cards, magazines, etc.), offering a short summary of each. This left me with the distinct and distasteful impression that this book was aimed at those who want to publish their own work just so that they can make wads of money without leaving the house (which rarely happens, despite the anomalies you read about in the "author profiles"). After all, if you're self-publishing for self-gratification, because you have knowledge that you want to share with others, or just for the love of the written word, shouldn't you already have some idea of what you're going to publish? In any case, this really put me off - anyone consulting a self-publishing book should already know what books, booklets, and magazines are, otherwise they don't really belong in the publishing business. Unless they're still in the sixth grade, in which case their ignorance is forgiven!

Great range of possibilities.......2005-03-18
Lisa Shaw explores lots of ways to develop information products, no matter where your starting point. She's been out there way before many other authors who have since jumped on the self-publishing bandwagon.
Drive-by.......2002-04-07
Lisa Shaw's advice on the economics of starting a home-based publishing business is something of a conundrum. First, she claims startup capital and money for living expenses can be unnecessary luxuries that sap motivation. "In fact," she says, "I had no money in my early publishing ventures, so I had to rely solely on my creativity and my intractable faith in my own abilities." Later, she recommends this reality check to help assess the level of risk you're comfortable assuming: "How would you react if you or a family member had to spend a week in the hospital and you didn't have health insurance because you needed the money to pay the mortgage?"
She goes on to take a superficial look at a number of self-publishing enterprises (including booklets, books, greeting cards, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, software and e-zines); considering ease of startup, initial investment, time commitment required and other factors.
Each chapter contains a brief profile of someone who's been successful in each line of home-based publishing, but little detail is given. The profiles tell what each entrepreneur did, but offer only limited information on how they did it, since names and contact information for the resources they used are kept secret. Despite citing the growth of the Internet as one of the key factors making home-based publishing viable, there's scarce information on how to utilize the World Wide Web as a marketing tool for your efforts. And in a chapter dealing with computer hardware and software titled "Technologically Speaking" - a chapter one would expect would be brimming with detail based on the book's topic - Shaw's best advice is, "do your own research...."
The final chapter begins, "You now have the knowledge and the tools necessary to start your own home-based publishing business."
Not unless you're prepared to do a lot of supplemental reading.
Unless you're looking for a very brief introduction to home-based publishing, there's no "how-to" in How to Make Money Publishing from Home.
Shaw's book is drive-by writing, without the research.
An Absolute Must for Anyone Opening a Home-Based Publishing.......2000-06-05
Have you ever dreamed of starting your own home-based publishing business? Have you been hesitant to put your plans into action? This book contains all the necessary ideas and strategies you will need to successfully launch and grow your business. Lisa Shaw, a home-based publisher, reveals to her readers everything they need to know to successfully start and run a home-based publishing business.
I have read and re-read the book so many times, the cover has gotten frayed. The genius of the book is that it is based in sound business practices and could theoretically be applied to any business. Whether you want to earn your living creating newsletters and brochures, zines and postcards with this excellent book at your side you can experience the satisfaction of building your own home-based publishing business.
A Business Bible for "Old Dog" & "New Puppy" Entrepreneurs!.......1998-04-26
Publishing is part of the daily routine at my 13-year-old, home-based marketing and public relations firm. So, I was wondering what innovative things Lisa Shaw would be able to teach me in her book HOW TO MAKE MONEY PUBLISHING FROM HOME. Well, trust me--this "old dog" learned PLENTY of new tricks! Of course, there was the usual, basic stuff: reasons to begin a home-based business, financial assessments, skills needed and exactly what to expect from your new venture. But then I learned about: new niches I could fill within my company; some areas of publishing I'd NEVER want to try based on Ms. Shaw's descriptions (which saved me time); and Zines ... never had heard of them! There were a few things I wish the author HAD included, and perhaps they can be in a revised edition: a) contract examples for independent contractors, b) confidentiality statements for use with clients and c) since the book is about publishing, more updated information on copyright laws. Her Resource List included many of the titles I have relied on over the years, and which should be "must reads" for budding entrepreneurs. And, I'd like to add two titles to her list: 1)GETTING BUSINESS TO COME TO YOU by Paul & Sarah Edwards and Laura Clampitt Douglas and 2) 101 HOME OFFICE SUCCESS SECRETS by Lisa Kanarek. It was apparent in the content of Ms. Shaw's book that she had "been there" and obviously "done that" (publishing from home) extremely well! Warning: Running a home-based business isn't for sissies! Do you homework and research BEFORE you begin to save you a lot of heartache later. And, oh yeah, GOOD LUCK!

Review For Make Time.......2002-05-10
This book is filled with practical ideas for making the most of our time. It explains in plain English not just how to achieve what we set out to achieve but how to recognise what adds value to our lives and what's important to us. Thanks to Part 3: How to become more efficient, which is filled with handy hints, I'll never have to say "I didn't have time" again and I'm already better organised. The book is peppered with great quotations from famous people and cute cartoons, and the way the pages are set out make it inviting and easy to read. I got a lot out of it and highly recommend it.
Practical Time Management that Really Works!.......2002-04-28
Kris Cole has another winning book here. Like her Complete Idiot's Guide to Clear Communication, Make Time is an easy, enjoyable read that actually shows how to do something practical - in this case, use our time sensibly so that we can achieve what we want to achieve. The sub-title says it all - Practical Time Management that Really Works! It's filled with useful and realistic ways to work smarter not harder, and offers pain-free ways to set goals that you will really want to achieve. The final section on how to harness the power of your subconscious mind is a real mind-blower!

Book Description
Today's fast-shifting marketplace can pull a company in thousands of different directions. Cutthroat competition—to create a global presence, improve productivity while reducing costs, or develop Internet capabilities—can put pressure on a business, often with catastrophic results. Those companies that succeed are the ones able to turn on a dime when the market changes. Those that can't often find themselves in a revenue wasteland and watch as the rest of the economy passes them by.
In
Thriving in E-Chaos, author James D. Underwood reveals the simple yet invaluable business secrets used by some of the largest, most venerable companies in the world. Companies thrive in an uncertain economy by following three basic strategies, called the Triad of Success: cultivate the right leadership, develop smart technology, and change direction when the marketplace dictates.
You'll go beyond the academic theories and chalkboard models to see how 20 companies are making it work right now. They've weathered the economic maelstrom and emerged triumphant, and from them you'll discover how to:
• Develop a meaningful- and revenue generating-technology strategy
• Create a corporate culture that thrives on change and responds efficiently
• Learn from every one of your victories or defeats
• Visualize the future and lead effectively
• And much more
As the marketplace continues to evolve, make sure your business moves with it.
Thriving in E-Chaos will set you and your company on the right path to long-lasting success.

Operational Excellence Explained.......2002-05-10
As a systems/software analyst, I find myself tending to read only technical publications. So, I make it a habit to periodically force myself to read in an area foreign to me. Thus, I picked up "Thriving in E-Chaos" - the very first book I have ever read related to business operation.
I wish I had read it long ago! Not because I am a businessman, but because it has given me real insight as to how my company, one of the "winners" mentioned in the book, makes it happen. Understanding that has transformed the way I handle my responsibilities within the organization. And that has transformed my annual bonus handsomely.
Survival it is!.......2001-07-27
I am an attorney who counsels companies and this book is my new e-business bible! Anyone who is in or is thinking of getting into e-commerce must read this book. It is revolutionary and insightful! I recommend it to all my clients. This is the consumate text for those who want to make it in our slowing economy. A must have book!

Book Description
The author finds "collective democracy" as practiced in the People's Republic of China a departure from the Western norm. It does not purport to enhance individual human rights; rather, it aims at preserving and promoting a sense of community so that no one will be neglected in the process of political development and social reform and that there will be no self-centered boundaries separating members within the society. The book allows readers to appreciate and to develop a deeper understanding of legal and political reforms being undertaken inside China.

Book Description
Law, in particular its actual functioning in any given society, is above all a part of the culture of that society -- a part of its historical, political, social and intellectual creation. If a `black-letter' approach towards law in the West is under increasing criticism, it is particularly unhelpful, if not misleading, in understanding Chinese law, its nature and developments. Rather, to understand Chinese law, its nature and developments, we need to examine the Chinese legal traditions, the prevailing political and economic situations, Party policies on economic reform and tolerance towards political liberalisation, and scholarly discussions and debate. This is the approach of this book. Its aim is to put Chinese law `in context', to outline the nature and present status of its development, and to analyse the meaning of the law within the Chinese context. However, this monograph does not ignore the practical needs for determining the precise contents of the `black- letter' law either. A study of this kind necessarily involves a process of topic selection. However, to avoid over-generalisation and over-simplification, it also demands a considerable degree of comprehensiveness in coverage. For this reason, the book covers what the Chinese scholars term `fundamental law' and `basic branches' of law, while other topics are covered because they are either crucial for the understanding of the law (such as legal traditions in China) or of practical importance (such as foreign investment and trade). Chapter One provides an historical background to traditional Chinese `legal culture' and modern law reforms. The historical background of specific topics is examined as the topics are analysed in the following chapters. Chapter Two deals with the changing fate of law under Communist rule. Its focus is on the underlying factors and justifications for such changes. Chapter Three introduces discussions on specific branches of law, from public law (constitutional law, law-making, administrative law, criminal law, criminal procedure law) to `private' law (civil law, family law, contracts, law on business entities, and law on foreign investment and trade). Each of these is dealt with in a separate chapter. After the analysis of these substantial topics, certain conclusions are drawn, which attempt to define the nature of Chinese law and its developments in present-day China.

Book Description
'The Business Guide to Singapore', part of the 'Business Guide to Asia' series provides detailed information on setting up and running business ventures in Asia.
The series has been designed to provide concise, comprehensive coverage of issues relevant to people doing business in Asia. The countries covered are: Indonesia, China, Indochina, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Over the past decade, the Singapore economy has evolved from a trade and commerce based economy to an industry and service-oriented economy. Due to the lack of natural resources and limited size of local market, export-oriented industries with emphasis on high technology and value added goods, have been promoted. The country has become an international centre of industry and finance with a superb financial and communications infrastructure. This has attracted a large number of multinationals to set up their Asian headquarters in Singapore.
written by a panel of experts from different industries
provides legal, financial and other business information normally only available from top consultants
invaluable guide to any company planning to enter Singapore and start a business venture
