Peter Hammond - Böcker

This collection celebrates the career of Sir James Mirrlees, who received the 1996 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on income taxation and its extension to information and incentive problems. His contributions have proved fundamental to the development of a wide range of areas in economics.The 17 papers contained in this volume focus on themes that are representative of Mirrlees' work, including the economics of information, welfare, taxation, project appraisal, and industrial organization. All the contributors have spent time working closely with Mirrlees - either as his co-author or his student - and all are recognized authorities in their fields.The significant new contributions that this collection offers will have wide-ranging appeal, and should prove particularly interesting to scholars working in the areas of microeconomics, microeconomic theory, mathematical economics, and welfare economics.

This book finds the right balance between mathematics and economic examples, providing a text that is demanding in level and broad ranging in content, whilst remaining accessible and interesting to its target audience.

This reference text is one of 13 volumes which include a full historical and genealogical account of all peerages created in the British Isles since the Conquest.

The standard rationality hypothesis is that behaviour can be represented as the maximization of a suitably restricted utility function. Though this utility maximization hypothesis is venerable, it remains an area of active research. Moreover, some fundamental conceptual problems remain unresolved, or at best have resolutions that are too recent to have achieved widespread understanding among social scientists. The main purpose of this text is to make more widely available some recent developments in the area.

The standard rationality hypothesis implies that individual behaviour can be represented as the maximization of a suitably restricted utility function. This hypothesis lies at the heart of a large body of economics, of course, but also in political science, ethics, and other major branches of the social sciences. Though this hypothesis of utility maximization deserves our continued respect, finding further refinements and developing new critiques remain areas of active research. The main purpose of the Handbook of Utility Theory is to make more widely available some recent developments in the area. The editors selected a list of topics that seemed ripe enough to be covered by review articles. Then they invited contributions from researchers whose expert work had come to their attention. So the list of topics and contributors is largely the editors' responsibility. Each contributor's chapter has been refereed, and revised according to the referees' remarks.

Taken together, these first two volumes contain all the purely theoretical material that the editors planned to cover. The chapters on experimental and empirical research on utility and the chapters on the history of utility theory will appear in Volume III.

This book is the first to give a detailed and comprehensive account of all the children of Richard III, covering his only legitimate child, Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales, his illegitimate children John of Gloucester, and Katherine, who became countess of Huntingdon, and to other possible children, particularly Richard Plantagenet of Eastwell. Much information has been gathered from all known sources and there are discussions of the disputed date of birth and death at the age of about eight years of Edward of Middleham.

The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom is a standard reference work covering, in the words its alternative title, 'a history of the House of Lords and all its members from the earliest times'. The third edition extends to six million words. The first edition of The Complete Peerage was written by George Edward Cokayne, a distinguished genealogist and long-serving herald at the College of Arms who eventually became Clarenceux King of Arms. It was published in eight volumes between 1887 and 1898, and alongside the same author's five-volume The Complete Baronetage, published 1900-06, it became a standard work. The second edition was published in thirteen volumes between 1910 and 1959, with a final volume of addenda and corrigenda published in 1998. It was revised and enlarged by Vicary Gibbs, a genealogist and former Conservative politician, who was aided by several people including the publisher and historian Herbert Doubleday. Doubleday had edited or co-edited ten volumes of the Victoria County History, and in 1920 succeeded Gibbs as main editor of The Complete Peerage. He worked on several volumes of the second edition until his death in 1941, when he was succeeded by Geoffrey White, who had been a senior editorial assistant on The Complete Peerage since the mid-1930s. White carried the second edition through to the thirteenth volume, published in 1959. The final volume of the second edition, Volume XIV: Addenda and Corrigenda, was edited by the historian and genealogist Peter Hammond and published in 1998. In the same year, Hammond began work on this third edition of The Complete Peerage. With the support of a team of six who joined Peter Hammond in 2018, working full-time on the project, the third edition has been fully updated and integrated with peerage births, marriages, deaths and relevant ancillary information, including biographical details of all peers, together with the law lords who were formerly life peers. It incorporates recent scholarship and goes to great lengths to point the interested reader to further publications and manuscripts using clear source descriptions. References have been expanded and made consistent, abbreviations and contractions have been replaced for the most part with full wording, and the text has been newly typeset using the widely preferred style of minimal capitalisation. This extensive process of modernisation has been completed with the aim of enhancing clarity and making the text more readable and visually appealing. A new glossary, list of abbreviations and comprehensive bibliography extending to more than 10,000 lines have also been added. The third edition will be issued in eighteen volumes over the course of three years, and will also be available on a subscription website, which will allow for further updates.

Have you ever wondered what it was like living in a medieval town? What sort of house would you live in? What would you eat? What would your street look like? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then Life in a Medieval Town will provide you with the answers. Peter Hammond takes us back in time to see what is was really like to live in a medieval town. His descriptions vividly recreate the sights, sound and smells experienced in Medieval England whilst exploring what daily life involved.

A collection of papers dealing with a broad range of topics in mathematical economics, game theory and economic dynamics. The contributions present both theoretical and applied research. The volume is dedicated to Mordecai Kurz. The papers were presented in a special symposium co-hosted by the Stanford University Department of Economics and by the Stanford Institute of Economic Policy Research in August 2002.
