    Book Description

    This book studies the interactions between monetary and fiscal policies in the euro area. It carefully discusses the process of policy competition and the structure of policy cooperation. As to policy competition, the focus is on competition between the European central bank, the American central bank, the German government, and the French government. As to policy cooperation, the focus is on the same institutions. These are higher-dimensional issues. The policy targets are price stability and full employment. The policy makers follow cold-turkey or gradualist strategies. The policy decisions are taken sequentially or simultaneously. Monetary and fiscal policies have spillover effects. Special features of this book are numerical simulations of policy competition and numerical solutions to policy cooperation.

      Book Description

      The emergence of a new macro economy in Euro-Asia is a great challenge for academics and policy makers alike. Our book focuses on this macro economy and the monetary and fiscal policy responses. As the new environment has evolved over time, private behaviour as well as policy responses have changed. Policy makers as well as private agents had to learn the new environment. In our book we thus put heavy emphasis on uncertainty and learning. The first part of the book explores monetary policies allowing for uncertainty and time-varying behaviour of economic agents in markets, in particular in the labour market and the monetary policy responses to it. We study both forward and backward looking behaviour, learning and robust control as well as the role of financial markets for policies. The second part explores fiscal policy in the Euro-area, its sustainability, its effects on economic growth and the attempts of the Euro-area to stabilize the public debt. The third part explores monetary and fiscal policy interactions in the Euro-area countries. Since there are many national fiscal authorities but only one monetary authority this is a particularly challenging problem of Euro-area countries. Methodologically, we use modern methods such as advanced econometric methodology, learning models that allows to study time varying behaviour, and dynamic macro modelling and dynamic optimization.

          Description:
          We derive a set of stylized facts on the effects of non-systematic fiscal policy in the four largest countries of the Euro area. We find relevant differences across countries in the effects of non-systematic fiscal policy, and substantial uncertainty about the size of these effects. Yet, in general, expenditure shocks are usually rather ineffective in increasing output growth, and can require deficit financing. Tax policies also appear to have minor effects on output, but usually tax increases do not have negative effects. Disaggregating expenditures and receipts yields some interesting results, in particular increases in government consumption decrease output in all countries, while social benefits can increase it.

              Book Description

              Each year US businesses lose an estimated 300 million working days to stress-related illnesses. Minimize Stress, Maximize Success is a practical and fully illustrated guide for people who don't want to be part of that figure. Consultant Clare Harris, with many years' experience teaching executives how to reach their full potential, addresses the sources of stress - whether they're external, such as unrealistic deadlines or poor organization, or internal, such as not being able to leave work behind or rely on others. Throughout, she offers individuals at any level in the corporate ladder a wealth of solutions and constructive exercises for rising above it all - exercises that, in the vanguard of contemporary management, draw on the mind, body, and spirit to hone and sustain success. Readers learn how to
              - Think more effectively and creatively
              - Build energy and resilience
              - Put stress in perspective
              - Let go and delegate
              They learn to minimize stress - and maximize success.

              4 out of 5 stars A book fit for these hectic times.......2005-03-21

              This is a business book like no other I have read. Clare Harris starts off by explaining how powerful the mind-body connection really is. She further delves into how much your work environment effects your mind-body connection. All the stress we are put under in daily and long term work situations does effect our health. The author helps you pinpoint exactly where in your work life you are experiencing the most stressors. One you have analyzed what is causing your stress, she gives very realistic exercises and advice for minimizing and/or eliminating the the level of stress in those areas. She offers many healthier approaches. Some areas she covers are more effective communication skills, physical exercises that will make you feel better (offering both quick and long term relief), better time management, dealing with difficult co-workers, decision making skills, tackling clutter, and making sure your personal life is not left in the dust. While it is particularly helpful for people in management positions, I feel almost anyone would benefit from this book. I will never lend this book out as it is one I feel to be a very valuable resource that I plan on referring back to again and again.

              This book complements The handbook of Management Consulting: The Contemporary Consultant: Insights from Leading Experts, 1e but can also be studied separately. The book consists of 20 cases including Harvard and Stanford cases. The cases present the broad range of topics that are pertinent to current management consulting. Each of the four parts of the text presents a cogent introduction by the editors, delineating topics that are critical for today's consultants to understand. The cases represent major practice areas of consulting and afford new insights into change processes and other current management issues facing consulting firms. These cases, together with the handbook, will prepare consultants and other business managers for a successful future in a highly competitive consulting environment.

              This book has fabulous consulting cases and is written well. The longer cases are broken into parts so you have time to stop and think about what you would do and then read on to see what the consultants did in the next part and what the outcome was.

              This is one of the best consulting case books ever written.

              5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Starting Point.......2004-03-29

              The book provides practical advice and suggestions. I found the comprehensive check list of all the things that must be considered prior to startup quite useful. Also helpful are the phone numbers and addresses for various MD, VA, and DC government and economic development offices.

              The book is a great resource relative to making sure that you don't overlook things that could be critical to your business. For example, I found the section of hiring and firing enlightening relative to potential impact on a new company's unemployment compensation rate. Who would know that the IRS would make your company chargeable for the unemployment claims of an ex-employee who voluntarily leaves for another job and gets fired after a few weeks.

              I would highly recommend the book to anyone starting a small business. It is well organized and a quick read. It helps you know what questions to ask and who to ask. It is not intended as an in-depth resource book.

              5 out of 5 stars A wonderful primer on starting a business with contact information for locating startup funds if necessary........2006-09-15

              This is a valuable book (resource) for budding entrepreneurs. It seems to try to cover all the bases for starting a small business, but it can't do them all well in the space available between its covers. The book is only 288 pages long. If you are in the planning stages of starting a small business, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. Read it, study it, and outline it. There are helpful checklists to help you grasp the subjects. You will come up with a plethora of keywords and terms that you will want to google to find Web pages giving more detailed (and maybe more current) information.

              I am a SCORE counselor (Senior Corps of Retired Executives) who typically does face-to-face counseling sessions three nights a month. It would really be neat if my clients would read this book BEFORE they came to their session with me because they would pretty much be "educated customers" ready to ask educated questions. Our sessions would be so much more beneficial.

              My favorite chapters were:

              1. Initial business concerns
              2. Your business' structure
              3. Business start-up details
              5. Sources of business assistance (SCORE is mentioned here)
              7. Your smart business plan (and a good sample plan is included)
              8. Obtaining the financing you need

              The book is weak when it comes to how the Internet can be used in corresponding, hiring, and marketing. But this is just one example of how googling keywords and concepts found in the book will make the book more complete. Don't treat the book as authoritative on the law. It isn't. Nor was it ever intended to be. It is light on tax information as it relates to small business.

              I was particularly impressed with the material presented in Chapter 2: Choice of Legal Entity. That subject is sorely ignored in most small business books, and it is critically important. It is a subject I regularly must spend a great deal of time discussing at my SCORE sessions. This book does a pretty good job on the topic.

              Chapters 4 and 9 through 12 are easy to find fault with. The topic of each could fill a book. But having these topics covered definitely will help a budding entrepreneur know some of the issues they raise.

              I would have liked the book more if Chapter 6 (marketing) had been less superficial. When I read it I got the impression that the author was more a public relations expert than a marketing expert. I generally categorize public relations as a subset of marketing. Marketing includes advertising, public relations, and a whole host of other promotion techniques. I did not get this message when I read the book. I also would have liked the book better if the Internet, email, and Web sites had been discussed more. But there are many books on those subjects. Therefore, I can't complain too much about the limited discussion of computers.

              When you read this book it may feel a little like it was produced on an assembly line. Maybe it was? There are 50 versions of this book sold; the only state I haven't found a copy for is Montana. Content is king, and this book has it. 5 stars!

              Vickie Sullivan gives you the facts that are difficult to find in other places. There is no fluff here. I would recommend this to an speaker and well as to those considering entering the speaking business.

              5 out of 5 stars Great Money-Making Ideas for Experts.......2001-10-11

              As a publisher, I love it when authors give presentations to promote their books. Vickie gives a lot of practical, "try this tomorrow" tactics that can boost sales after every speech. It's obvious that she knows her stuff -- this material is fresh, not the basic information you hear elsewhere. The Web-based
              material also has a lot of details too. Any one who speaks to promote their product or services could benefit from this information.

              5 out of 5 stars What a gem!.......2001-08-13

              When you listen to these tapes, you will feel as if Vickie is sitting right there with you- be it in your car or getting some coffee together. You take away usable action-steps that immediately impact your bottom line. After using Vickie's methods, my speaking business at least doubled itself.

              5 out of 5 stars A Grand Guru.......2001-08-09

              Vickie is truly a guru for speakers, and in this program, she generously shares her wisdom for a very cheap price. Using plain language, Vicke shows you how to differentiate your message so that your expertise shines, then how to leverage your speaking for more business. Her energy is big, and her ideas are broad. There is some repetition, but I think that is good in a training program (some people need to be banged in the head a couple of times). Her style is both humorous and personable. You will want to listen to these tapes over and over again as I have.

              5 out of 5 stars Practical job hunt aid! .......2007-09-16

              I have used this book in a couple job searchers in the past 3 years and have always found it helpful. The concise advice and easy to read layout make it a good tool for refreshing you on the job hunt. I think if you're a first time job hunter then maybe get What color is your parachute, but this book will be an excellent refresher and quick read for those of us who have done this a few times.

              I especially liked the examples of thank you letters and the interviewing section was the most helpful for me!

              2 out of 5 stars perhaps a good example on how to get a job you're not qualified for.......2007-06-27

              I checked two books out of the library on how to search for a job, and this was definitely the poorer book. I recommend you get The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search: The Proven Program Used by the Worlds Leading Career Services Company instead. It is a much better book and really helped me get my job search rolling.

              5 out of 5 stars Very organized, step-by-step approach to job hunting.......2005-12-31

              I loved the book. I was always afraid b/c I knew I wasn't prepared and had no idea how to prepare. I was very good at collecting information on what to do, but not so good on doing it. It was very overwhelming. 10 Insider Secrets to a Winning Job Search helped me not only be better prepared and knowledgeable, but it was done in a very organized, step-by-step manner, which I needed, to keep me from getting overwhelmed and quitting. Thanks for the book.

              5 out of 5 stars Increased Confidence.......2005-12-27

              In the twelve years I've been employed at my present job, everything has changed. I've gotten too comfortable and lost my edge. I have been far to complacent. I needed to update my skills, and understand the rules of the job hunt game in order to be competitive with younger candidates. This book showed me how to compete in today's challenging job market. I feel far more confident now and feel that I have a solid game plan after reading 10 Insider Secrets to a Winning Job Search.

              5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Roadmap for Getting a Job.......2005-11-13

              I have gained much perspective from reading this step by step book. It has reminded me of the importance of having a plan of action. Everything from reflecting on my needs, setting my goals to mapping out a job exploration plan and preparing for an interview has broadened my awareness of what is needed for a successful job search. I find myself refering to the lessons just to help friends and family get through various stages of lifes challenges! Thanks so much for the insight and the outlined process of self-development!!!

              Book Description

              Here is a new, short-term trading pattern...one of the most reliable ever discovered for identifying sharp moves lasting from 1 to 5 days.

              This never-before-publicized pattern is called the TradingWindows strategy. In this book, you will learn the logic behind the pattern that enables you to successfully trade fast, short-term moves with a high percentage of winning trades.

              In this manual, you will learn:

              How to identify the "hidden axis" around which all price action of any stock or stock index revolves. Each day, there is a center price level which all markets tend to strongly cling to. You will be able to identify 5 precisely defined situations in which price action moves too far away from this center and suddenly reverses...and then be able to enter a trade in front of a powerful "snap-back" to that center price level.

              How to maximize gains while minimizing risk using TradingWindows. The powerful characteristic of TradingWindows that you will benefit from is the pattern's consistency and reliability. Many people, using bands and oscillators, have tried to capitalize from the "price reverting to the mean" principle, with some success. But you will experience how TradingWindows capitalize off "price reversion" far better and far more reliably and simply than these other methods.

              How to comfortably fit TradingWindows into your own trading style. No matter how aggressive or risk-averse a trader you are, there is a TradingWindows pattern or combination of patterns that will suit you. You can choose from GapWindows, DoubleWindows, AggressiveWindows, HangingWindows, and SingleWindows. This book will fully describe each of these patterns and how they can be traded using either daily or weekly bars, and the type of traders they are most ideally suited for.

              How to trade a wide range of individual stocks, stock indices, and ETFs using TradingWindows. One of the best advantages you will have is that TradingWindows are very common and easy to identify. Because your universe of possible trading markets is far larger than momentum-based or breakout strategies, you do not have to spend hours each evening researching the right stocks to trade.

              Would you like to trade a short-term pattern that works reliably for all markets and which is easy to recognize? If so, order "The TradingWindows Strategy" today!

              1 out of 5 stars Extremely simple........2005-03-25

              I have enjoyed some success with swing trading, even in these choppy markets, and was very interested in complementing this with the Trading Windows strategy.

              Larry Connors (tradingmarkets.com) has a $50 book and a $400 CD that describes this system. He could have used the back of a napkin.

              Here's the strategy:

              In an uptrending stock, wait until the day's entire trading range drops below the four day simple moving average. Buy the stock when it recrosses this average.

              I looked at a few dozen strongly uptrending stocks from an IBD screen, and it appears to me that this occurs mostly when a stock is topping. Of course, a lot of trades will never execute because the stock continues to drop below the MA before crossing it.

              Looks like you need to be able to exit these trades extremely quickly. It's a day trading, rather than a swing trading system.

              This system reminds me of the roulette strategy of betting on red after black comes up.

              5 out of 5 stars Great swing trading strategy.......2004-01-27

              I consider "Dave Landry on Swing Trading" to be the bible of swing trading, and this book gave me another strategy to trade in my swing trading. I don't listen to the academics; you can time the market, and Connors shows you a statistically proven technique on how he does it.

              You have to scan for Trading Windows setups, so that you have enough opportunities to trade this four-day pattern. Money management is the key to using this strategy properly. Pay careful attention to the profit taking and when to lock in partial profits and where to move your stops.

              Statistically backed. Machinical. Great book.

              3 out of 5 stars Something to look at.........2003-04-18

              Simple ADX setup that can be explained to someone in about 3 minutes. Lots of chart examples, and explains some variations to his single base setup.

              One can expect 3 or 4 setups per stock in a year. Is this the holy grail? Hardly. At best, it's an average to above average setup that relies on very solid money management and moves to BE.
              Assuming a trader can do that, I'm sure it is moderately profitable.

              5 out of 5 stars Gadzooks! I can't believe this strategy! It's great!.......2002-12-28

              Don't get me wrong, I am a long time Larry Connors fan, from Street Smarts to his VIX book, I buy everything but this, this is just...it's left me amazed! This Windows strategy works VERY WELL! Some the trades I have executed in just the last couple of months have just been outstanding. I recommend any serious technical trader to use this starategy in their own trading and challenge them to not be blown away by it!

                A fashion world insider and journalist reveals the secret world of Calvin Klein
                The House of Klein for the first time tells the inside story of the rise of a fashion legend and the mammoth empire he built. Calvin Klein is the world's most well-known (and successful) fashion designer and has created one of the most recognizable brands in existence, but the tale of his ascendancy to the top of the fashion industry has never been fully told. The House of Klein is the warts-and-all exposé of a boy from the Bronx who made his name synonymous with high fashion by making his brand synonymous with sex. This book offers an informed, insider's account of the defining moments of a fashion legend's life, a life circumscribed by personal and professional struggle. Fashion writer Lisa Marsh pulls no punches in presenting the true story of this mammoth of the clothing industry, complete with corporate battles, lawsuits, petty personal vendettas and backroom dealings. Marsh reveals the underbelly of the glittering world of high fashion-a world characterized not so much by beautiful people and wild parties, as it is by money and power, above all else. The House of Klein brings to life this compelling figure through the author's own research and interviews with the man himself, as well as with other figures in the industry-such as Isaac Mizrahi-who finally come clean about the man behind the brand.
                Lisa Marsh (New York, NY) focused on the bottom line instead of the hemline while working at the New York Post covering the fashion and retail beat. A veteran of the fashion industry, she began her career in journalism writing financial news stories for the fashion industry bible Women's Wear Daily.

                3 out of 5 stars Good intro to the fashion industry.......2005-07-16

                This book describes the life and career of Calvin Klein, one of the more influential fashion designers in the last 30 years. The book is laid out in chronological order, beginning with Klein's childhood, education, early career, and his recent status as a fashion heavyweight and pop icon.

                The book focuses more on his career, and how the fashion industry as a whole has affected and was affected by him. For those looking for gossip about Klein or his associates, this book will not provide it. What it does provide is an inside glimpse of how the fashion industry works. Klein is unique in that he has been involved in just about every aspect of the Western fashion industry some time or another in his life; whether it be making designs, creating supply chains, maintaining an actual clothing store, running a fashion company, selecting models, putting together ad campaigns, dealing with media, etc.. As such, this book covers all these different aspects and shows the failures and successes of one man, Calvin Klein, in each of these sectors of the business.

                The book also shows the conflicts between the big egos in fashion, how these conflicts play out, and how they affect employees of the fashion industry, and us the consumers. Last, the book gives a good idea of how money is divied up within the fashion world. Specifically, when someone buys an article of clothing at a store, that money gets divided among many different parties, and this book shows how that is done.

                Overall, I am glad I read it. Nearly everyone in America is affected by the fashion industry, yet so few of us know anything about it. Reading this book helped changed that for me. I only give it three stars because for all the pluses of this book; I found it boring. Maybe I am just not interested in fashion.

                2 out of 5 stars Not much juice.......2003-10-23

                I expected to get a lot more from this book and was sadly disappointed. I hoped to read more about Calvin Klein's life and found myself struggling through dry chapters about corporate sales and whatnot. I went into it knowing this was a business book but thought it could've been better. It might be ok for people who read the Wall Street Journal regularly (then again, if that's the case, you probably would know everything in the book anyway). If you're just a fan of fashion and more interested in Klein's clothes and a biography of him, this is not the book for you.

                5 out of 5 stars Fascinating!.......2003-09-08

                As a fan of Calvin Klein's clothing and fragrances, I was thrilled to finally see a biography on him. Although his name is everywhere and on everything, the man himself remained a mystery. Until I read this book. It offers a great behind-the-scenes peek into who he is, where he came from, and how he built such a succesful international business, despite many missteps along the way. A must-read for anyone interested in the man behind the myth.

                5 out of 5 stars A must read.......2003-09-06

                If you are interested in fashion, this is a must read. The House of Klein is a fantastic book. The author shares the story of Calvin Klein with all the intimate details of his life and business. This is a book not to be missed!
