Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Nigeria, a developing economy with huge population and economic potentials, is currently struggling with failed infrastructure and the current financial need for Nigeria''s infrastructural development is put at between US$10 and $15 Billion annually. The infrastructure decay has been a major factor responsible for the high cost of doing business in Nigeria. Securitisation is a financing technique which involves the process of converting cash- generating assets into securities to be offered to investors. Sovereign and sub-sovereign entities in both developing and developed countries have adopted and used securitisation as alternative vehicle for accessing finance to solve their capital development needs and it has remained a veritable tool for accessing cross- border finance especially in times of global financial crises. Nigeria is Africa''s largest producer of crude oil and with it current reserve of over 36 billion barrels, can effectively fund her infrastructure needs using securitisation. This will help achieve diversification of it economy with other short and long term micro and macroeconomic benefit.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The study argues that the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan is neither an emotional issue nor purely an ideological tangle but equally, if not more so, an issue of realpolitik which is inherent in the nature of the territory of Kashmir. This dimension of the Kashmir dispute was overshadowed in the wake of the Indian move to raise the Kashmir issue at the UNSC in 1948. The importance of the territory lies in its wealth of water resources of the world''s mighty Indus River System comprising the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej rivers, serving as the ¿jugular vein'' of Pakistan''s agrarian economy. India is not prepared to lose the upper- riparian status and Pakistan is fearful of its vulnerabilities. Kashmir issue is also a question of control of the life-giving rivers in upstream originating from the territory of Kashmir, parts of which were captured by both India and Pakistan in 1948. The study highlights the linkage of the Indus rivers resource with political thinking, strategic planning and warfare between India and Pakistan in the past and comprehends its future role in the security calculus of the region.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The advent of the Internet era changed the way business is conducted, especially in the hotel industry. The existent literature argues that the online booking revolution diminishes the effectiveness of traditional revenue management systems (Schwartz, 2008). The present paper shows that, on the contrary, online booking and revenue management perfectly complement each other. In particular, light algorithms are used to construct a pricing policy which can and should be used by managers of small size hotels. The price engineering endeavor is based on both simulated demand following a Poisson distribution and on the pricing policy of competing 2-star hotels in the vicinity of the Vrijthof Square, Maastricht. Regression analysis is used to determine the relation between the competitors'' prices and the quantitative and qualitative independent variables chosen for this model. The light algorithm presented in this paper uses easily accessible software packages such as Microsoft Excel, simulation tools and online booking sites. The chosen approach adds a new dimension to asset management, thus enriching and improving the managerial decision process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A number of women were sexually enslaved by the Japanese military during the Second World War and were known as ''comfort women''. It is a wrongful action of the Japanese state in the past which still brings the international attention. In order to overcome the past, such wrong doings should be considered in the context of legal responsibility of the state. Legal responsibility is distinguished from moral responsibility; state responsibility differs from individual responsibility. Seeking the legal responsibility of the state is an important process to achieve proper justice in the international community.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Considering the current context of Bolivia, in which indigenous communities are receiving more attention in the policy making process regarding the distribution of lands, natural resource management and participation in development projects, the present document aims to analyze the effect of different political and socio-economic events, such as the change in policies regarding the Bolivian forest sector, in the Tacana community''s structure and cultural identity. I also pretend to show the potential that the Tacana communities still have regarding forest management, to go further in their development process and preserve their ethnical roots and forests. The conclusions of this work are mainly positive, showing that CBFM has a potential to bring development to indigenous communities, while preserving the environment, but there are still many obstacles and new aspects to be considered for future policy implementations, as well as a long way ahead for communities to obtain the expected benefit, without their culture and livelihoods being negatively affected.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book investigates the benefit of life settlements to a portfolio of investment securities. A life settlements is the secondary trade of an unneeded life policy. Unlike traditional securities, life settlements are not correlated to stock markets or interest rates. This book provides an extensive background on life settlements and empirically determined that a portfolio of investments including life settlements yields a higher return at a lower risk than a portfolio without life settlements. In addition, this book categorizes life settlements in order to explore differentiation opportunities within life settlements. By applying among others the concept of duration and convexity to life settlements, possible differences among life settlements can be identified. This is a relevant finding because it allows investors to apply duration as an additional criterion in selecting life settlements.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world oil prices have raised and fluctuated a lot during the past ten years. In order to hedge the risks, developing Chinese petroleum futures market is important. However, lacking pricing system is a main issue. In this paper, I use the two-factor model and a seemingly unrelated regression method from Gibson & Schwartz (1990) to price China''s one-month crude oil future contract. First, I estimate the future prices by assuming that China has the same convenience yield as the U.S. market. Second, I study the possibilities of real convenience yield in China based on macroeconomic analysis. Third, arbitrage theory provides the reasonable future prices. In the end, statistical tests prove that the calculated China''s crude oil future prices have the price discovery function for the Daqing spot prices and the ability of hedging international oil shocks. This work should be useful to professioinals in asset pricing and commodity derivatives fields, or anyone else who may be considering commodity market as a interest.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

It concludes with general guidelines for the decentralisation and democratic planning of cultural tourism activities and specific proposals for local organisation and management. The suggestions for local development have been developed through a case- study in Samos and the cultural tourism activities to enhance the potential of the Heraion heritage site.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The terrorist attacks at 9/11 have put the world upside down. These young men, educated in the US, flying planes well-planned into different buildings and killed thousands of people. That this could happen -out of the blue- in our free Western society was a shock and needed a firm response. President Bush gave this firm response, and publicly declared the war on terror. The war on terror was accompanied by a list of seven nations, the 'axis of evil'. These nations were considered as a potential terrorist threat for the United States. Cuba is quite a remarkable country in the list of terrorist potentials. This almost bankrupt island in the heart of the Caribbean seems to be far from an Islam fundamentalist breeding place. In this work all the reasons to mark Cuba as a terrorist potential are thoroughly explored. This political and historical analysis clarifies the complex relation between the US and Cuba in the context of a world where terrorism is widely feared.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Entrepreneurship has been increasingly presented as a crucial tool to enhancing economic life and welfare of every society. New ventures create innovation, new markets, and employment, all of which stimulate economic growth and ultimately enhance the living standard across every level of society.

E-Government today means the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to transform the relations between government and citizens in order to provide efficient, convenient and transparent services to citizens as well as entrepreneurs. Government transformation from department-centered to a citizen-centered way of working, demands the vision of government service accessibility to the common people in their locality, through simple service delivery output and ensuring efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to meet the basic needs of a common man. Changing towards better effectiveness, governments should seek for models of administration that will be able to respond to the needs of citizens (clients) with a minimum response time, with thin and flat administration.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Saudi Arabia is very special country of what it has. Saudi Arabia is the largest market in the Arabian Gulf region and, despite current political and economic uncertainties, offers investors and exporters many opportunities in a wide variety of business sectors. Key factors driving economic policy include the desire to reduce the dependence on oil, and the need to provide jobs, housing and services to citizens in a time of rapid population growth. The foreign investment law of 2000 significantly changed the rules for foreign investors, permitting 100% ownership of projects. There is a streamlined foreign investment application process with various investment incentives(Sagia, 2006). The cost of entering the Saudi market is high because of the large cultural distance between most Westernized foreign investors and the Saudis. The market presents many opportunities and is extremely competitive. Saudi Arabia''s attractiveness is related to its position at the heart of a regional market that includes the GCC countries and the Arab world in general.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents a theoretical model which tries to explain causes of business cycles ¿uctuations and which has its roots in the Post-Keynesian stream of economic thought. According to this model, investment shocks together with endogeneity of money causes business cycles ¿uctuations. This model is compared with existing New Keynesian models which assert that causes of business cycles ¿uctuations are monetary policy shocks together with various nominal and real rigidities. Author uses econometric techniques(impulse-response functions and forecast error variance decomposition) to investigate which phenomenon contributes more to business cycles ¿uctuations. Unfortunately, results do not enable to draw a straightforward conclusion. It seems that both phenomena play a certain role.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Farmer-owned cooperatives not only serve as a means of providing services and information to producers, but they can provide a mechanism for returning the earnings from marketing activities to producers and farm economies. Given the importance of member participation and member-management relations for the success of a cooperative, a survey was conducted in different four fruit and vegetable cooperatives of Chitwan during January-February, 2009 to assess how members perceive farmer-owned cooperatives in terms of the need for, role, and performance of a cooperative. Cooperative members'' beliefs, goals, concerns, and attitudes toward their cooperative organizations were examined. Altogether eighty members from four cooperatives were selected. In addition to target member producers, forty non-member producers in the study area were targeted to incorporate perceptions who might see cooperatives differently. Problem of inputs, training and unorganized market was of higher concern for the members. Lack of information and unavailability of cooperatives to sell whole produce were found as most prominent reasons of non-members for not joining the cooperatives.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Globally and nationally, it has been widely acknowledged that SMMEs have a critical role to play in generating employment and developing human capital. These businesses contribute significantly to the growth of the national economy through the provision of services to consumers and other enterprises. Additionally, these SMMEs are not just providers of services to consumers; they also consume services from the suppliers of their products. In this regard, there is a symbiotic relationship that stimulates an upstream economic activity among suppliers and downstream among their consumers. This twin objective of promoting economic growth by creating employment and reducing poverty has remained a vital objective of the national government. In addition, a stable business environment is critical for these objectives to be realized. There are critical training needs for small business operators; Information Communication Technologies (ICT)are relevant in promoting SMME growth in the inner city, controlling crime in the Central Business District is critical, while assistance with tax registration and compliance is necessary for small businesses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Russian market of cross-border mergers and acquisitions did not receive enough attention in research. Due to lack of studies on this growing market the current work aims to examine the performance of foreign companies acquiring Russian targets in the period of 1994-2009. A sample of 96 transactions was investigated to determine wealth created for bidding companies. Foreign acquirers show positive and statistically significant returns for several event windows. Thus, on average, the results support the argument that cross-border acquisitions in the Russian market create value for acquiring companies. The examination of factors that might influence the performance of bidding companies is also part of this research. The results show that acquirer size and previous acquisition experience have significant negative effect on value created in cross-border acquisitions, while acquirer profitability show a positive significant impact on the stock reaction to the announcement of M&A deals. This book should be particularly useful to professionals working in the field of M&As in the Russian market, students of Business studies, and anyone else interested in this topic.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

In particular, the study aimed to investigate the impact of migration and adult mortality on household labour supply among rural households in Chiweshe communal lands, Zimbabwe. The study comes to a conclusion that the impacts of migration and mortality are difficult to separate from the general economic and political context in which the demographic processes take place.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world is experiencing yet another energy- and fuel predicament as oil prices are escalating to new hights. Alternative fuels are being promoted globally as the increasing gasoline prices trigger inflation. Basic food commodities are some of the goods hit by this inflation. This book analyses whether the higher maize and sugar prices are having any effect on the expanding ethanol production. It focuses on the two major crop inputs in ethanol production: maize (in the US) and sugar cane (in Brazil). Econometric tests using cross-sectional data were carried through to find the elasticities of the variables. The crops prices were tested against ethanol output using the log-linear model in several regressions to find a relationship. In addition, the output levels of the crops were tested using the same method. It was found that maize prices and output affects ethanol production. Sugar cane prices do not have any significant impact on ethanol production while sugar cane output has a small, yet significant relationhip with ethanol. Consequently, ethanol's rise in the fuel market could be a result of increased maize input, rather than sugar.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.
