Technological progress and globalization have generated indisputable benefits, but also relevant costs, such as growing economic inequality, economic fluctuations, and financial instability. Mainstream economics has usually considered these costs as temporary, evenly distributed, and more than compensated by the gains of the phases of economic expansion. In this book, which focuses mainly (though not only) on the labor market, the authors contend that the major costs of the intensified process of creative destruction, through which economic change proceeded, have been ignored and the benefits overrated, thus incorrectly estimating the net impact of economic growth on subjective wellbeing. The book argues that the positive consequences of economic change and globalization may not compensate for the negatives, because psychological losses are felt more strongly than gains (due to loss aversion) and the costs are unequally distributed (those on low incomes disproportionately suffer more). The result is an overall reduction in wellbeing and therefore appropriate policies are necessary to allow more people to enjoy the benefits of technological progress without suffering the costs. The authors develop a comprehensive framework in which the socio-psychological context and educational level of a community determine the most suitable policies both for the short and for the long run. The book makes an invaluable contribution to the literature on economic growth and development, labor economics, the economics of wellbeing, and applications of behavioral economics.The readers that may be interested in this book are economists and other social scientists, but also general readers, since the analysis is maintained simple and accessible. University teachers can use the book for courses on economic growth and development, on labor economics, on the economics of human capital, on the economics of wellbeing, and on applications of behavioral economics.

This book celebrates Doctor Sophie Tarbouriech’s achievements in systems, control and related topics. The contributions in this book summarize the content of invited lectures given at the workshop “Methods and Algorithms for the Control of Complex Systems” held in Banyuls, France in late August 2024 in honor of Doctor Tarbouriech’s sixtieth birthday. These contributions are the work of forty-four distinguished researchers from nine countries and are related to Doctor Tarbouriech’s areas of research, being organized in parts dealing with:static nonlinearities;robustness analysis;networked and hybrid systems;partial-differential-equation systems; anddata-driven control.This Festschrift volume remains as a permanent scientific record of this event and is of interest to academic researchers working in any of the listed topics.Control of Complex Systems presents recent control methods and algorithms for analysing the stability or guaranteeing the performance of complex dynamical systems. Several classes of systems are covered, including nonlinear, hybrid and infinite-dimensional systems. Various control strategies are addressed, including reset control, anti-windup, event-based control, impulsive control, boundary control for PDEs and data-driven control. Analysis and design objectives include, among others, synchronization, robustness of linear and nonlinear systems, anti-windup loops and convex optimization for stability. Applications include aeronautics and space, control of physical systems with isolated nonlinearities and epidemiological models.
