Arnold Heertje – författare

Analytical Transport Economics opens with a critical examination and overview of the scope of transport economics. Next, the production of transport, travel demand, transport externalities and transport markets are thoroughly analysed. The distinguished group of contributors then examine transport policy, both regarding infrastructure and transport markets. Specific attention is paid to the role of government after deregulation and to the transport policy of the European Union. Transport infrastructure is also analysed in view of its effects on the wider economy. Finally, the role of transport in a number of more specific situations is considered, that is in an urban environment, in transitional economies and in developing economies. This book is a considerably revised version of the well-received European Transport Economics (1993), described as 'A book every transport scientist should have in his possession' - Professor Eddy Van de Voorde, University of Antwerp, Belgium. There are a number of new chapters, a few that had lost their usefulness over time have been omitted, and others have been thoroughly revised and updated. With its strong international focus, academics and advanced students of economics, transport economics and public policy as well as policymakers within government and private enterprise will find this book essential reading.

This book is a valuable insight into the life and work of Joseph A. Schumpeter. Bringing together an extensive collection of his essays, Arnold Heertje provides an overview of Schumpeter's life, his work and methodological approach. Schumpeter's vision of the role of the state and the capitalist system is thoroughly analysed by the author, who goes on to track the changing interpretation of Schumpeter's grand vision on the capitalist system through time. He also examines Schumpeter's ideas on technical change, innovation and economic growth and discusses neo-Schumpeterians and economic theory.Schumpeter on the Economics of Innovation and the Development of Capitalism will appeal to academics, students and scholars interested in an in-depth study of the great economist.

In The Makers of Modern Economics scholars at the peak of their powers reflect on their influences, education and careers as well as the wider concerns of economics as a discipline.Leading figures at the centre of developments in modern economic theory have been invited by Arnold Heertje to discuss their careers, their work to date and, in particular, their views on future research. The first volume in this series was acclaimed by Professor David Audretsch as ‘a unique insight into the thoughts and lives of prominent economists’. . . The second volume includes essays by Mauro L. Baranzini, Paul Krugman, Masahiko Aoki, Bruno S. Frey, Edmund S. Phelps and Oliver E. Williamson.These essays discuss their development as scientists, the problems and issues that interested them, and the individuals who guided and influenced them. The Makers of Modern Economics offers an exciting impression of the - sometimes conventional, sometimes unexpected - course of their lives.

Pieter Hennipman, the leading Dutch economist of the post-war period, made many substantial contributions to economic policy, welfare economics and, latterly, the methodology and history of economic thought during a long and distinguished career.Welfare Economics and the Theory of Economic Policy brings together a key selection of Professor Hennipman's papers - many of which have not been published in English before - which express his profound analysis of the theory of economic policy and his masterful discussion of its definition, character and scope. The pioneering work featured here developed his argument that normative economic statements and economic policies can be analysed scientifically and evaluated with the use of objective criteria. Prominent among these papers are the contributions to welfare economics and Pieter Hennipman's examination of the transition from the view that welfare was exclusively dependent on production to one which saw it as a subjective phenomenon dependent upon consumption. This volume also includes his rigorous and insightful essays on the history of the theory of welfare economics.With a thorough introduction by Donald Walker, this comprehensive volume will improve access to Professor Hennipman's outstanding contributions on the nature of the theory of economic policy as well as papers which place welfare theory in relation to other sections of economic theory in a penetrating and sophisticated manner.

The Makers of Modern Economics Volume III follows on from the two previous volumes in presenting the intellectual development of some of this century's most influential economists.

The book brings together new original essays by Franklin M. Fisher, Christopher Freeman, Peter Groenewegen, Kelvin J. Lancaster, Martin Shubik and Gordon Tullock. The Makers of Modern Economics Volume III provides the academic, student and researcher with a fascinating insight into the life and work of some of todays most inspiring economists.
