Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nobel Laureate Simon Kuznets, famous as the founder of modern empirical economics, pioneered the quantitative study of the economic history of the Jews. Yet, until now, his most important work on the subject was unpublished. This second collection of previously unavailable material issued by Transaction brings to the public, for the first time, the most important economic work written on Jewish migration since that of Werner Sombart a century ago.This volume of Kuznets' work includes three main essays. The first, titled 'Immigration and the Foreign Born,' was Kuznets' first work on immigration and discusses the impact of the general foreign born on the U.S. Kuznets and his co-author, Ernest Rubin, offer the essay as a quantitative antidote to the misinformation that led many Jews to support the restrictions ending Jewish migration in the 1920s. The second, 'Israel's Economic Development,' discusses the impact of mass immigration and other factors on Israeli productivity, providing in English for the first time one of the first detailed studies of the economic development of the state of Israel. The final essay, on 'Immigration of Russian Jews to the United States,' is the most famous of Kuznets' writings and provides a clear view, backed by a seminal paper that launched the contemporary social scientific study of Jewry. It discusses the details of the labor force, skills, and general structure of Eastern European Jewish immigrants to the U.S.…

First edition, first printing, of Kuznets's second book, following on from his doctoral thesis Cyclical Fluctuations (1926), and later followed by Seasonal Variations in Industry and Trade (1933). "Together these three works analyze the cyclical, seasonal, and secular trends in economic data, and they describe the nature, causes, and propagation of business cycles. They also relate business cycles to certain long-term cycles that Kuznets named 'secondary secular movements' (also known as 'Kuznets cycles') and to seasonal movements. Kuznets's key innovation was to describe the process of the propagation of cycles and to locate their generation and continuation in lags and discontinuities in the response of one sector of the economy to changes in another sector. The discussion of long-term cycles is also significant for connecting changes in population (which had been a neglected endogenous variable until then) with changes in other economic variables, such as consumption, investment, capital formation, immigration, and foreign trade" (American National Biography). Kuznets won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1971 for "his empirically founded interpretation of economic growth which has led to new and deepened insight into the economic and social structure and process of development".
