Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -It took me over five years to write this book. Finishing my research project and thus finishing this book would not have been possible without the help of many friends of mine. Thus, the first thing to do is to say 'Thanks a lot' . This means at first place the Evangelisches Studienwerk Haus Villigst. They gave me a grant for my work, thus laying the important financial grounds of everything I've done. There is such a large number of friends I worked and lived with over the last few years that I cannot possibly mention them all by name, but I'll try, anyway: So, thanks Christiane, Gilbert, Maik, Karl, and everybody else feeling that his or her name should appear in this list. And, of course, thanks Franz Haslinger, for letting me do whatever I wanted to - and for even encouraging me to stick with it. One more thing I'd like to mention: Although this work is based on very heavy use of computer power, it is my special pride to say that not a single penny (i.e. Deutschmark) had to be spent for software in order to do this work. Instead, all that has been done has been done by free software. Thus, I would like to mention some of my most heavily used software tools in order to let you, the reader, know that nowadays you don't depend on big commercial software packages any more.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -1.1 Intermediate strategies for monetary policy The launch of a single European currency in January 1999 has been sparking a heated debate over what strategy the European Central Bank's policy should be based on so as to distribute and maintain monetary stability in Europe. In order to pass the Bundesbank's reputation as a tough inflation fighter on to the European Central Bank there have been strong efforts to make the ECB a close copy of the Bundesbank. It might be surmised that there will be a lot of similarities in its intermediate strategies. Among other indicators, the ECB's policy will be based on the growth rate of a broad monetary aggregate consistent with its definition of price stability. As a key instrument in the new central bank's instruments, REPO operations will constitute the main refinancing source of private banks and, in addition, minimum reserve requirements have been introduced to facilitate the authority's command over the banking sector's liquidity by means of stabilising the demand for central bank money. After having introduced monetary targeting in the 1970s, in the 1980s, the Bank of England and the Fed soon abandoned it again, because of distor tions from financial innovations and currency substitution. But the Bundes bank strongly defended its intermediate strategy of monetary targeting and advocated its implementation in the European System of Central Banks.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 188 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network has gained in popularity over recent years because of its rapid training and its desirable properties in classification and functional approximation applications. RBF network research has focused on enhanced training algorithms and variations on the basic architecture to improve the performance of the network. In addition, the RBF network is proving to be a valuable tool in a diverse range of application areas, for example, robotics, biomedical engineering, and the financial sector. The two volumes provide a comprehensive survey of the latest developments in this area. Volume 1 covers advances in training algorithms, variations on the architecture and function of the basis neurons, and hybrid paradigms, for example RBF learning using genetic algorithms. Both volumes will prove extremely useful to practitioners in the field, engineers, researchers and technically accomplished managers.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 340 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The Radial Basis Function (RBF) network has gained in popularity in recent years. This is due to its desirable properties in classification and functional approximation applications, accompanied by training that is more rapid than that of many other neural-network techniques. RBF network research has focused on enhanced training algorithms and variations on the basic architecture to improve the performance of the network. In addition, the RBF network is proving to be a valuable tool in a diverse range of applications areas, for example, robotics, biomedical engineering, and the financial sector. The two-title series Theory and Applications of Radial Basis Function Networks provides a comprehensive survey of recent RBF network research. This volume, New Advances in Design, contains a wide range of applications in the laboratory and case-studies describing current use. The sister volume to this one, Recent Developments in Theory and Applications, covers advances in training algorithms, variations on the architecture and function of the basis neurons, and hybrid paradigms. The combination of the two volumes will prove extremely useful to practitioners in the field, engineers, researchers, students and technically accomplished managers.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 384 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Many business decisions are made in the absence of complete information about the decision consequences. Credit lines are approved without knowing the future behavior of the customers; stocks are bought and sold without knowing their future prices; parts are manufactured without knowing all the factors affecting their final quality; etc. All these cases can be categorized as decision making under uncertainty. Decision makers (human or automated) can handle uncertainty in different ways. Deferring the decision due to the lack of sufficient information may not be an option, especially in real-time systems. Sometimes expert rules, based on experience and intuition, are used. Decision tree is a popular form of representing a set of mutually exclusive rules. An example of a two-branch tree is: if a credit applicant is a student, approve; otherwise, decline. Expert rules are usually based on some hidden assumptions, which are trying to predict the decision consequences. A hidden assumption of the last rule set is: a student will be a profitable customer. Since the direct predictions of the future may not be accurate, a decision maker can consider using some information from the past. The idea is to utilize the potential similarity between the patterns of the past (e.g., 'most students used to be profitable') and the patterns of the future (e.g., 'students will be profitable').Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 372 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Das Buch untersucht die fundamentale Beziehung, die zwischen Arbeitslosigkeit und Entlohnung auf regionaler Ebene besteht. Dazu wird ein theoretisches Modell entwickelt, das weitere Einflüsse, insbesondere zu Innovation und Strukturwandel, integriert. Vorgestellt werden theoretische Analysen zur Identifikation von Kausalbeziehungen zwischen den Variablen sowie empirische Ergebnisse vor allem zum Effekt der Arbeitslosigkeit auf den Lohn. Die dabei verwendeten ökonometrischen Methoden werden eingehend diskutiert. Wirtschaftspolitische Schlußfolgerungen zur Förderung des Strukturwandels und zu den Ursachen der Arbeitslosigkeit beschließen die Darstellung.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 356 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die vorliegende Studie befaßt sich in Hinblick auf die Europäische Währungsunion mit dem Zusammenhang von Wechselkursschwankungen, Außenhandel und der Arbeitsmarkt-Performance. Es wird erstmalig systematisch untersucht, welche Auswirkungen die Wechselkursvariabilität im europäischen Währungssystem auf die Höhe der Beschäftigung und Arbeitslosigkeit in Eu-Ländern hatte und wie sich die Schaffung der Währungsunion auf diesen 'Kanal' auswirkt. Die Studie verbindet durchgehend Theorie, Empirie und wirtschaftspolitische Schlußfolgerungen. Besonderer Wert wird der mikroökonomischen Fundierung makroökonomischer Zusammenhänge beigemessen. Dem Leser bietet das Buch eine neue Argumentationshilfe, wenn es zukünftig darum gehen wird, den mittel- und osteuropäischen Beitrittsländern zur EU ein adäquates Wechselkursregime zu empfehlen.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 792 pp. Deutsch.
