It has long been recognized that productivity growth and the business cycle are closely interrelated. Yet, until recently, the two phenomena have been investigated separately in the economics literature.This book provides the first consistent attempt to analyze the effects of macroeconomic volatility on productivity growth, and also the reverse causality from growth to business cycles. The authors show that by looking at the economy through the lens of private entrepreneurs, who invest under credit constraints, one can go some way towards explaining persistent macroeconomic volatility and the effects of volatility on growth.Beginning with an analysis of the effects of volatility on growth, the authors argue that the lower the level of financial development in a country the more detrimental the effect of volatility on growth. This prediction is confirmed by cross-country panel regressions. The data also suggests that a fixed exchange rate regime or more countercyclical budgetary policies are growth-enhancing in countries with a lower level of financial development. The former reduce aggregate volatility whereas thelatter reduce the negative effects of volatility on long-term productivity-enhancing investment by firms.The book concludes with an investigation into how the interplay between credit constraints and pecuniary externalities is sufficient to generate persistent business cycles and to explain the occurrence of currency crises.

Handbook of Field Experiments provides tactics on how to conduct experimental research, also presenting a comprehensive catalog on new results from research and areas that remain to be explored. This updated addition to the series includes an entire chapters on field experiments, the politics and practice of social experiments, the methodology and practice of RCTs, and the econometrics of randomized experiments. These topics apply to a wide variety of fields, from politics, to education, and firm productivity, providing readers with a resource that sheds light on timely issues, such as robustness and external validity.

Separating itself from circumscribed debates of specialists, this volume surpasses in usefulness the many journal articles and narrowly-defined books written by practitioners.

Balances methodological insights with analyses of principal findings and suggestions for further research Appeals broadly to social scientists seeking to develop an expertise in field experiments Strives to be analytically rigorous Written in language that is accessible to graduate students and non-specialist economists

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of IoT security through the lens of ML and AI. The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming industries by connecting billions of devices, creating unprecedented opportunities but also significant security challenges. As IoT adoption accelerates, cyber threats targeting these connected systems are growing in complexity. Traditional security measures are often inadequate for IoT ecosystems, necessitating advanced solutions that integrate machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).

De ce migrația nu urmărește legea cererii și a ofertei?De ce liberalizarea comerțului are adesea ca efect creșterea șomajului și scăderea salariilor?Poate cineva să explice de ce și când are loc creșterea economică?În această carte revoluționară, economiștii premiați Abhijit V. Banerjee și Esther Duflo ne arată cum economia, când este practicată corect, ne poate ajuta să rezolvăm cele mai spinoase probleme sociale și politice ale zilei. De la imigrație la inegalitate, de la creșterea lentă la accelerarea schimbărilor climatice, avem resursele să abordăm provocările cu care ne confruntăm, dar suntem adesea orbiți de ideologie.Originală, provocatoare și imperios necesară, Economie utilă pentru vremuri dificile oferă noul tip de gândire de care avem nevoie.Bazându-se pe cercetări de ultimă oră în economie – și pe ani de explorare a celor mai eficiente soluții pentru reducerea sărăciei extreme –, construiește un caz convingător în favoarea intervenționismului inteligent și a unei societăți clădite pe compasiune și respect. Un antidot atât de necesar la un discurs polarizat, această carte ne ajută să apreciem și să înțelegem lumea în echilibru precar în care trăim.
