Modeling Income Distributions and Lorenz Curves
Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote in the Preface to his famous Discourse on Inequality that “I consider the subject of the following discourse as one of the most interesting questions philosophy can propose, and unhappily for us, one of the most thorny that philosophers can have to solve. For how shall we know the source of inequality between men, if we do not begin by knowing mankind?” (Rousseau, 1754). This citation of Rousseau appears in an article in Spanish where Dagum (2001), in the memory of whom this book is published, also cites Socrates who said that the only useful knowledge is that which makes us better and Seneca who wrote that knowing what a straight line is, is not important if ...

Andre Simon's Wines of the World
Publisher description -- The contributors of Wines of the World have looked both at classic wines of long standing and at exciting newcomers to the top class. They recognize that wine-drinkers today want to know how their wines are made and from what grape varieties, the tastes they are likely to find and the styles of wine emerging from different soils and climates. Laws have changed, and some wines with them. Drinkers are less conservative, and this book also aims to point to lesser-known wines which are emerging from purely local appreciation.
Micro-evidence for the Dynamics of Industrial Evolution
Creation of firms with new ideas, their growth, and exit of inefficient ones constitute the essence of creative destruction which has been the engine of capitalist society. By observing the process of birth, growth, and death of firms, we can understand the overall picture of dynamics that an industry experiences over the life cycle The book contains nine chapters of which nine are contributed chapters, and is divided into three parts: The first part shows some stylised facts of industrial dynamics in Korea and Japan. The second part deals with the issue of globalisation and innovation from the perspective of industry dynamics. The last part investigates the implication of size on the Korean manufacturing industry. The common feature of all contributions is found in the approach used. Thus, the authors do not focus on the theoretical models but on numerical evidences. Japan has taken the lead position in the level of technology and industrial performance as characterised by its competitive large companies and
