New Releases by J. Oliver

Este manual aborda todo el contenido de la asignatura de Macroeconomía IV del Grado en Economía de la Universidad de Almería. En esta asignatura se va a profundizar en el estudio de las teorías de crecimiento económico a medio y largo plazo siendo una introducción a la macroeconomía dinámica. El estudio de la macroeconomía dinámica analiza el comportamiento de las variables determinantes del crecimiento económico a largo plazo para acompañar, refutar o cuantificar los pronósticos económicos tradicionales. Se analizarán distintos modelos macroeconómicos tanto exógenos como endógenos del medio y largo plazo hasta llegar al equilibrio general dinámico. Nos centraremos en el estudio de los modelos de crecimiento endógeno, que permiten conceptos tales como expectativas racionales y elección óptima, y diferentes metodologías para su obtención (econometría versus calibración). Estos modelos han mostrado su validez y utilidad a la hora de explicar los hechos observados en la economía real. Así, proponemos cuatro capítulos, a través de los cuales desarrollamos todo el contenido que se analiza en esta asignatura. La existencia de magníficos manuales de Macroeconomía nos llevó a plantearnos ofrecer un producto distinto a los estudiantes. Por ello, cada tema de este manual se compone de un resumen muy completo acerca de la materia que se ve en las clases de grupo docente.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1867.

The fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL) provides an update and revision of monetary theory to address puzzles raised by the failure of both the new Keynesian theory (commonly used by central bankers) and neoclassical monetarism (in particular, the quantity theory of money as interpreted by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz)—puzzles such as the low inflation that followed the sustained expansionary monetary policies post-2008. We aim to summarize and explain the FTPL as developed by Eric Leeper, John Cochrane, and others. The FTPL builds on neoclassical monetarism by observing that government liabilities—bonds, notes, bills, and currency—derive their value from the assets that back these liabilities. These assets are chiefly the present value of future tax revenues, minus government spending other than that part of spending used to service the liabilities themselves. This net “profit” of the government is called the primary surplus. This primary surplus can be expressed in real terms (a quantity of goods and services, rather than a money amount). The total real value of the bonds is thus the total real value of the assets backing the bonds: the present value of all future real primary surpluses (which we shorten to PVFS, present value of future surpluses). In a very important sense, the FTPL harkens back to commodity-based theories of money, except now the “commodity” is the real value of future surpluses earned by the government. We can then solve for the price level. It is simply the nominal value of the bonds (the face value or number of bonds issued) divided by the real value of the bonds (the PVFS). If the nominal value of the bonds is held constant and the underlying asset (PVFS) becomes less valuable, prices go up. If the PVFS becomes more valuable, prices go down. We thus calculate the value of “money” (including government liabilities of all maturities) the way one would calculate the value of any security: through discounted cash flow analysis. Note that this approach is consistent with the QTM because, if money is defined in the traditional way as currency and demand deposits and we now hold the PVFS (the backing of the money) constant, then the price level is proportional to the amount of money in circulation. The FTPL is a more complete theory, however, because (1) it incorporates all government liabilities, not traditional money alone, and (2) because it is forward-looking and dynamic rather than considering only conditions in the present.

This is the first in-depth study of the foreign and defence policies of the Coalition, a government that saw the Conservatives restored to power for the first time since the Iraq War and the Liberal Democrats enter government for the first time. It explores the idea of Britain as a ‘Great Power’ since 1945 to show how the Coalition’s policies fitted into wider historical understandings of Britain’s role in the world. Drawing on a range of evidence from the time of the Coalition, it shows that this period was one of continued change in British foreign policy. The Coalition conducted the first strategic defence review since 1998, significantly reduced the funding allocations for defence and foreign affairs, raised overseas aid spending to record levels, engaged in overseas military action in two sovereign states (and were denied a chance to participate in another), as well as a wide array of other policies. This book argues that evaluating these events and the historical background of the Coalition is critical to understanding the current crises gripping British politics.

First published in 1997, this volume responds to the Conservative intention of conducting economic policy along monetarist lines after winning the General Election in May 1979. Michael J. Oliver argues that the monetarist strategy was rejected for several reasons during the 1980s, including the recession of the early 1980s, the change in attitude to the role of the exchange rate and disagreements between politicians and policy-makers. It is shown that the disputes between Chancellor Nigel Lawson, Lady Thatcher and her economic adviser, Sir Alan Walters, are central to explaining why macroeconomic policy-making evolved considerably from the mid-1980s. This book is the first attempt by an economic historian to apply a social learning model to the post-1979 period. By adopting an inter-disciplinary approach, Oliver has made both an accessible addition to the debate on the conduct of economic policy since 1979 and a major contribution to the growing interest in social learning amongst social scientists.

Mary J. Oliver''s debut is an unusual and striking coalescing of prose, poetry, found documents and photographs. It ranges across the history of 20th century England and Canada as she uncovers the life of her father, Jim Neat (b. 1904). She adopts a legal structure, making ''the case'' for the worth of Jim''s life. Jim leaves England at an early age, as a seaman. He travels to South Africa, stows away to Australia and eventually lands in Canada at the time of the Great Depression. He meets his partner Lizbietta at a bookshop in Saskatoon, but is working in Regina when she dies in childbirth. As a result, Jim becomes both ill and destitute, and is admitted to a hospital in Ontario. His story is told at this point through the hospital''s case-notes, his own therapeutic writing and his doctor''s correspondence with his sister Queenie, in England. Repatriated to England Jim meets the author''s mother during the war. Theirs is a stormy marriage, and at this point she too contributes to the narration. Although they have children and live together until Jim dies in 1983, Jim''s life is dominated by the loss of Lizbietta and their child, and the book circles back to Canada and the past as the author uncovers the events surrounding that relationship. Jim Neat is a remarkable evocation of a seemingly fractured life. Although short and drawing on diverse documents Oliver is able to invest an enormous amount of emotion in Jim''s relationships, including that with her. The narrative has a certain exoticism - hobos in Canada, a pet fox, extreme weather and its results - but also a casual brutality in the way it recounts lives at the mercy of indifferent forces. In this it recalls Annie Proulx and Joyce Carol Oates, and doesn''t suffer in comparison.

What do unions do and why do they do it? Do they seek to maximise profit for their members, or to obtain better working conditions that benefit society as a whole? Derek H. Aldcroft and Michael J. Oliver here provide one of the first sustained studies of the effects of union activities in terms of economic performance and the impact on the business world. From the rise of the British mass trade union movement in the 1870s to the present day, the book examines the main trends in union development and structure, and the core strategies unions have used to achieve their objectives: the use of strikes, work rules and restrictive practices; workers’ attitudes to innovation; the wage bargaining process. Important assessments are made of the influence of these strategies on investment, innovation, economic growth, and the cost of structure and competitiveness of the UK economy.

Esqueça o dinheiro. O que realmente faz o mundo girar são as vendas. Exagero? Talvez. Mas quando lembramos que o entregador de uma grande loja, por exemplo, não teria emprego se o vendedor não efetuasse a transação, ou que um engenheiro espacial não teria uma colocação se um executivo não fechasse um grande contrato para a confecção de jatos comerciais, tudo ganha uma perspectiva diferente. Em Alta perfomance em vendas, a organização Dale Carnegie — fundada pelo autor do colossal sucesso (de vendas, claro!) Como fazer amigos e influenciar as pessoas — explica como vencer a concorrência, chamar a atenção, conquistar a confiança e garantir a venda. Com conselhos que vão do prático — verifique se o equipamento audiovisual funciona antes de uma apresentação de seu produto — até o psicológico — descubra o motivo emocional para o cliente comprar um produto, este livro é um guia perfeito para ajudar vendedores a criar uma relação longa e proveitosa com seus clientes. Os autores acompanham todo o processo, passo a passo. O contato inicial, as dicas para passar por assistentes zelosos e alcançar os verdadeiros chefes, a etiqueta correta para as conversas telefônicas e as apresentações cara a cara, dicas de como evitar os clichês do manjado papo de vendedor. Os autores conseguem responder, aqui, duas das questões cruciais para uma boa venda. Como posso fechar mais acordos? Como posso evitar objeções? A ideia é ensinar a vender levando em consideração o ponto de vista do comprador. A globalização dos mercados, o aumento de tecnologia, o tráfico de informações, as fusões empresariais, os produtos e serviços cada vez mais complexos geram um processo de compra e venda mais problemático. Os vendedores precisam compreender e balancear esses fatores de forma a sobreviver num universo extremamente competitivo. Alta performance em vendas trata, ainda, da mudança operacional nas transações. Muitos acordos são fechados pela internet, videoconferências e outras tecnologias.

The American Soldier and other Poems is in three divisions. Heaven: speaks of spiritual enlightenment.

The American Soldier: This is a tribute to all those brave men and women who have served, are serving and who will ever serve to preserve the Freedom of this country. This poem was inspired by my son Lt. Col. Steven W. Oliver Air Force; whose service gave me a new perspective of military life. Also my nephew, Pfc. Anthony Ward, he paid the ultimate sacrifice. Jamaica: Speaks of a beautiful Island, a paradise in the Caribbean sea where the tired and weary have resorted to refresh themselves. It also relates some of my childhood experiences while growing up on the Rock. I wish one and all a delightful exploration in poetry, verses that speaks from the soul.
