Irving Fisher (1867-1947), economist, Yale University teacher, inventor, mathematician and activist reformer, was one of the most important American economists of the first half of the 20th century. On the 50th anniversary of his death in May of 1998, a large gathering of economists met at Yale to reassess Fisher's enormous scientific contribution. Such a reevaluation was facilitated by welcomed republication of all of Fisher's books and articles in 14 volumes the previous year. The offices of the Cowles Foundation at Yale University were made available for the presentations and the Cowles Foundation directors and administrators assisted with the preparation of this important volume. This book consists of original papers explaining Fisher's technical contributions to econometrics, a reassessment of his prescient and much neglected textbook on economics, his theories of capital and interest, his debt-deflation theory of depression, the various financial devices that he developed to improve governance and policy-making, and finally his eugenic crusades that included the prohibition of alcoholic beverages and healthy diets. Fisher's ideas were so advanced for his time that many of the contributors to these volumes delight in pointing out how the recent financial inventions in the world economy are catching up to the insights that Fisher provided decades earlier. This volume consists of the major papers from that conference including written versions of the comments that were presented at that time. The contributions include original essays by Nobel Laureate, James Tobin. Other contributions include: analytic essays by distinguished economics such as, A. J. Auerbach,William J. Barber, W. C. Brainard, W. E. Diewert, Robert Dimand, Victor R. Fuchs, John Geanakoplos, M. J. Graetz, Robert E. Hall, William D. Nordhaus, Peter C. B. Phillips, John Rust, Herbert E. Scarf, M. D. Shapiro, J. B. Shoven, Robert J. Shiller, Martin Shubik, T. N. Srinivasan, John Whalley, and others. In addition, the editors have included several already published biographical essays on Fisher so that the collection will be thorough and complete. A useful scholarly index has been prepared especially for this volume.

《国民经济学原理》第一部分所述的是产生经济活动的一般条件、价值交换、价格和货币；第二部分探讨利息、价格、地租、收入、信用和纸币；第三部分则是应用部分，即生产和产业理论；第四部分讨论了对现行经济体制的批判和经济改革的各种建议。

《人的行为》是米塞斯的扛鼎之作，也是继亚当·斯密《国富论》之后思想史上难得的对经济学理论进行全面整合的著作，为奥地利经济学派奠定了系统而清晰的理论基石。米塞斯认为人并非原子式的个人，而是运用其自由意志做出行为的人，他假定有一个“先验的”人的行为之“公理”，在此基础上一步 步推导出人类社会经济的种种安排和运作原理，将建立在个人行为逻辑上的经济学理论提升到社会哲学或人类行为通论的高度来处理，由此开创出“人的行为学”方法论。
米塞斯在经济学中的贡献还不仅仅是货币理论和对计划经济的分析。《人的行为》被认为是经济学中极为难读又意义深远的书。该书以人类行为学的一般理论为经济学的基础，认为关于社会组织的基本问题必须根据人类行为学来讨论。——梁小民
米塞斯最伟大的成就是1949年出版的巨著《人的行为》。他第一次世界大战期间就开始写作此书，第一次全面地论述了经济理论。米塞斯实践了自己的方法论和研究项目，并详细描绘了一个综合、庞大、完全由他本人演绎推导出的经济理论结构：人类行为原则。——穆瑞·罗斯巴德

Winner of the 2011 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Best Business Book of the Year Award
Billions of government dollars, and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs, are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of their work is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, harmful misperceptions at worst.
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behavior of poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work defies certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low.
This important book illuminates how the poor live, and offers all of us an opportunity to think of a world beyond poverty.

The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before. Yet until now there has been no comprehensive text that incorporates the huge strides made in the subject over the past decade. Development Economics does precisely that in a clear, rigorous, and elegant fashion.</p>
Debraj Ray, one of the most accomplished theorists in development economics today, presents in this book a synthesis of recent and older literature in the field and raises important questions that will help to set the agenda for future research. He covers such vital subjects as theories of economic growth, economic inequality, poverty and undernutrition, population growth, trade policy, and the markets for land, labor, and credit. A common point of view underlies the treatment of these subjects: that much of the development process can be understood by studying factors that impede the efficient and equitable functioning of markets. Diverse topics such as the new growth theory, moral hazard in land contracts, information-based theories of credit markets, and the macroeconomic implications of economic inequality come under this common methodological umbrella.</p>
The book takes the position that there is no single cause for economic progress, but that a combination of factors--among them the improvement of physical and human capital, the reduction of inequality, and institutions that enable the background flow of information essential to market performance--consistently favor development. Ray supports his arguments throughout with examples from around the world. The book assumes a knowledge of only introductory economics and explains sophisticated concepts in simple, direct language, keeping the use of mathematics to a minimum.</p>
Development Economics will be the definitive textbook in this subject for years to come. It will prove useful to researchers by showing intriguing connections among a wide variety of subjects that are rarely discussed together in the same book. And it will be an important resource for policy-makers, who increasingly find themselves dealing with complex issues of growth, inequality, poverty, and social welfare.</p>

Product Description
Surveying three centuries of economic history, a Harvard professor argues for a leaner global system that puts national democracies front and center. From the mercantile monopolies of seventeenth-century empires to the modern-day authority of the WTO, IMF, and World Bank, the nations of the world have struggled to effectively harness globalization's promise. The economic narratives that underpinned these eras—the gold standard, the Bretton Woods regime, the "Washington Consensus"—brought great success and great failure. In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik offers a new narrative, one that embraces an ineluctable tension: we cannot simultaneously pursue democracy, national self-determination, and economic globalization. When the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik's case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today's global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

英国著名资产阶级经济学者亚当·斯密的代表著作《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》，出版于1776年。那时，正是英国资本主义的成长时期，英国手工制造业正在开始向大工业过渡，英国产业的发展，还在很大的程度上受着残余的封建制度和流行一时的重商主义的限制政策的束缚。处在青年时期的英国资产阶级，为了清除它前进道路上的障碍，正迫切要求一个自由的经济学说体系，为它鸣锣开道。亚当·斯密的《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》，就是在这个历史时期，负有这样的阶级历史任务而问世的。这部书总结了近代初期各国资本主义发展的经验，并在批判吸收了当时有关重要经济理论的基础上，就整个国民经济运动过程作了较系统、较明白的描述。此书出版以后，不但对于英国资本主义的发展，直接产生了重大的促进作用，而且对世界资本主义的发展来说，恐怕也没有过任何其他一部资产阶级的经济学著作，曾产生那么广泛的影响。无怪当时有些资产阶级学者把它奉为至宝。可是，历史很快就把它的局限性和缺点错误显示出来了。

自由市场一直面临两个最重要的反对者：观念上被某些人文知识分子反感，现实中政府往往会出台管制市场的各种措施。本书收入米塞斯的两本小书：《官僚体制》和《反资本主义的心态》，对于人文知识分子和政府官僚与市场的关系进行深入的社会学与心理学剖析。
这两本书是米塞斯拥有读者最多的作品，在他生前就被译为20多种文字，直到今天才首次译为中文。

This book introduces one of the most powerful tools of modern economics to a wide audience: those who will later construct or consume game-theoretic models. Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works overly abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal arguments about abstract games play a minor role. The applications illustrate the process of model building--of translating an informal description of a multi-person decision situation into a formal game-theoretic problem to be analyzed. Also, the variety of applications shows that similar issues arise in different areas of economics, and that the same game-theoretic tools can be applied in each setting. In order to emphasize the broad potential scope of the theory, conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely replaced by applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in economics. The book covers four classes of games, and four corresponding notions of equilibrium: static games of complete information and Nash equilibrium, dynamic games of complete information and subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium, static games of incomplete information and Bayesian Nash equilibrium, and dynamic games of incomplete information and perfect Bayesian equilibrium.

This rigorous but brilliantly lucid book presents a self-contained treatment of modern economic dynamics. Stokey, Lucas, and Prescott develop the basic methods of recursive analysis and illustrate the many areas where they can usefully be applied. After presenting an overview of the recursive approach, the authors develop economic applications for deterministic dynamic programming and the stability theory of first-order difference equations. They then treat stochastic dynamic programming and the convergence theory of discrete-time Markov processes, illustrating each with additional economic applications. They also derive a strong law of large numbers for Markov processes. Finally, they present the two fundamental theorems of welfare economics and show how to apply the methods developed earlier to general equilibrium systems. The authors go on to apply their methods to many areas of economics. Models of firm and industry investment, household consumption behavior, long-run growth, capital accumulation, job search, job matching, inventory behavior, asset pricing, and money demand are among those they use to show how predictions can he made about individual and social behavior. Researchers and graduate students in economic theory will find this book essential.

《牛津经济地理学手册》是20世纪80年代以来西方经济地理学界最重要的出版物之一，广泛地展示了该领域近年来最优秀的学术成果。它汇集世界上40多位广为认可的著名地理学家和经济学家，界定了经济地理学这个生机勃勃的交叉学科的范畴，讨论了其发展状态和前沿领域，为今后一个时期该学科的发展确立了研究议程。作者们提出，伴随近20年来的经济全球化，西方经济地理学正处于一个思维变革和快速成长时期，充满着各种具有深远意义的思维争辩。其中涉及了现实经济生活中一些最重要的问题，如经济变化的驱动力、全球化中地方之作用、区域的成长与衰落、地方创新系统、经济系统的空间重构、全球经济变化中的环境管制等。总体上，《牛津经济地理学手册》：(1)捕捉和梳理了这个学科当前的主要研究脉络和相关争论；(2)突出其交叉学科的特性，展开了不同学科在此领域的对话与交流；(3)通过阐述其主要研究脉络和议题，定义了这个研究领域的范畴。就其结构而言，《牛津经济地理学手册》包括了研究视角、全球经济一体化、公司战略与区位、创新的地理、地方性与差异、全球变革等6大部分，共34章，几乎涉及了目前西方经济地理学研究中所有前沿议题，其中不少议题国内学者知之尚少。

本书是米塞斯最后一本论著。书中论证了这样一个命题：经济学是一门以人类行为作为基础的科学。米塞斯认为，自从他的《人类行为》出版以后，经济学家和科学家都误解了他提出的经济学是科学的主张，因为他们把经济学视为认识论上的实证主义，认为经济学这门“科学”的基础仍然更多地植根于哲学，而不是实际的科学。在本书中，米塞斯认为，经济学之所以是科学，是因为人类行为是生活的自然秩序，恰恰是人类行为决定了市场和资本决策。米塞斯认为，这些联系可以在科学上加以证明，他由此而断定，既然经济学的基础是人类行为，经济学本身无疑就是一门科学，而不是一种意识形态，不是一种形而上学的学说。本书一向被誉为米塞斯最富于激情的著作，综合阐述了他此前著述中所有相关的主题。

It is well known that with 1.3 billion mouths to feed, China’s market is moving quickly toward surpassing North America and Europe combined. Companies from the U.S. and across the globe are flocking there to buy, sell, manufacture and create new products. But as former The Wall Street Journal China bureau chief turned successful corporate executive James McGregor explains, business in China is conducted with much subterfuge -- nothing is as it seems and nothing about business in China is easy.
Quickly becoming the bible for anybody doing business in China, One Billion Customers shows how to navigate the often treacherous waters of Chinese deal making. Brilliantly written by an author who has lived in China for nearly two decades, the book reveals indispensable, street-smart strategies, tactics, and lessons for succeeding in the world’s fastest growing consumer market. Foreign companies rightly fear that Chinese partners, customers or suppliers will steal their technology or trade secrets or simply pick their pockets. Testy relations between China’s Communist leaders and the U.S. and other democracies can trap foreign companies in a political crossfire. McGregor has seen or experienced it all, and now he shares his insights about how China really works.
One Billion Customers maximizes the expansive knowledge of a respected journalist, well-known businessman, and ultimate China insider, offering compelling narratives of personalities, business deals, and lessons learned—from Morgan Stanley’s creation of a joint-venture Chinese investment bank to the pleasure dome of a smuggler whose $6 billion operation demonstrates how corruption greases the wheels of Chinese commerce. With nearly one hundred strategies for conducting business in China, this unprecedented account combines practical lessons with the story of China’s remarkable rise to power.

1.著名经济学家汪丁丁经典课程讲义全新修订
2.高屋建瓴，追根溯源；以思想史方法思考和反省经济学，为经济学基本概念寻找知识合法性。"
《经济学思想史讲义（第2版）》是汪丁丁在北京大学讲授“经济学思想史”课程的讲义的全新修订版。这本讲义超越了经济学的专业化视角，结合政治学、社会学、心理学等学科来对经济学进行反思，在更高的层次上思考和研究经济学的基本问题，如价值、价格、均衡、货币等。作者的思想并未满足于停留在这些传统意义上的“经济学基本问题”，而是将这些问题与我们每个人以及全社会的生存状态一起讨论：“善与幸福”、“情感与心灵”、“社会正义”都是作者的关注所在。

本书探究的是资本主义未尽的事业。在一个国家接一个国家，中央计划被市场代替的同时，华尔街却持续经历着繁荣和一系列令人痛苦甚至绝望的事件。金融和经济分析的传统方法很少能给投资者们以安慰，他们的非理性经常被看做市场问题的替罪羊。
米勒详细阐述了他参与的实验经济学研究。这是一个新领域，它在可控条件下检验市场和人类行为间的互动关系。实验经济学已经有能力在世界范围内的实验室中复制股票市场的泡沫及其破灭过程。当人们的心理可以成为解释市场问题的因素时，实验家发现，即使掌控市场的规则发生细微变化，市场的表现也可能有天壤之别。实验经济学的一个自然产物是创造出了“智能市场”，用以克服市场的缺陷。
米勒解释了金融市场繁荣与衰退交替的原因，及对其未来走向作出了大胆预测。无论是为了更好地管理你的投资组合，还是希望一窥金融市场运行的秘密，阅读本书都将开拓你的眼界，让你了解华尔街和世界经济的内在机制。

神经元经济学是经济学的最新分支和经济学前沿研究的最新领域。借助于现代脑科学的技术与手段，该领域的研究者们正试图重构古典经济学、决策理论和博弈论，以提供一个可以完整解释人类行为的理论框架。

在法律缺失或低效的国家存在这样的问题：如何（有效）保护产权和怎样保证合同的执行？来自于发达市场经济的企业如何在此种环境下从事商业活动？在《法律缺失与经济学》一书中，阿维纳什·K·迪克西特研究了一种私立秩序理论，这种私立秩序超越或补充了来自于政府的弱经济治理模式。.
在世界大部分地区和历史上大部分时期里，私立秩序发展起来并代替正式的政府治理制度，比如长期关系、仲裁、散布信息的社会网络和交易中奉行的准则，以及营利性合约执行。甚至在具有健全法律体系的国家里，这些制度也一直深受法律的影响。众多案例研究和经验调查已经证实了此种制度的多样性、重要性以及各种优缺点。..
本书正是以这些研究为基础构造了一个理论模型，并用这个工具对这些案例和经验进行分析。这些模型对各种治理模式的概念进行了新的审视，并且加深了我们对各种可供选择的制度之间以及和官方法律间的相互作用的理解。例如，其中一个模型解释了社会网络规模的限制影响，并且阐明了在通往更加正式法律体系的转型过程中出现的问题，在这种转型过程中经济发展会逐渐摆脱这种限制。其他的模型解释了营利性合约执行是低效的原因。模型还帮助我们理解为什么官方法律与一些非官方制度是吻合的，而与其他制度相抵触。这有利于欠发达国家和转型经济体为它们正式法律体系的引进和改革设计更好的流程。

《世界经济千年史》使用了大约一半的篇幅详细报告数据处理工作和计算结果以支持作者的新发现和新观点。当然，这可能只适合那些具有研究兴趣的读者。但是我相信他读者会发《世界经济千年史》正文中对一些国家的案例研究是非常引人入胜的，不但有高度的可读性，而且有很大的启发性。譬如，为什么荷兰曾经县有欧洲最高的生产率？为什么在文化上有着深刻纽带关系的中国和日本却在经济发展上有着极大的差异？又为什么英国的北美殖民地造就了经济强大的美国，而西班牙的北美殖民却造就了范后的墨西哥？

 本书涵盖如下主要经济分析的内容：静态学（均衡分析）、比较静态学、最优化问题（静态学的一种特例）、动态学和数学规划（最优化的现代发展）。为掌握上述内容，我介绍了如下数学方法：矩阵代数、微积分、微分方程、差分方程和凸集。由于书中介绍了大量宏观、微观经济模型，所以，本书对那些已受过数学训练，但需要一个向导，引导其由数学王国步入经济学殿堂的人来说，也是极有裨益的。基于同样的原因，本书不仅可以作为数学方法的教科书，而且也可以作为学习宏观经济理论、微观经济理论、经济增长与经济发展理论等课程的补充读物。
