Economic Consequences of Globalization
Economists have long recognized the gains from international trade. The question is, does international trade - or more broadly, globalization - increase growth? Notwithstanding the debates, there are still many questions, old and new, need to be explored in order to improve our understanding on various aspects of globalization, including its consequences. This book addresses some of these questions, utilizing micro datasets of some East Asian countries. The focus on East Asia is particularly interesting for the reason that most of these countries have relatively more opened economy and experienced a rapid de facto integration quite recently.
The book puts forward questions which are related to the relationship between globalization on the one hand, and firm performance, activities, or characteristics, on the other. The chapters draw recent theoretical framework from the relevant literatures, and then empirically test - mostly by econometric analysis - the hypotheses on these relationships. The extent or magnitude of the globalization impact is also demonstrated by the means of descriptive analysis. Finally, there are useful insights for policy decision-makers to be drawn from the empirical results.
The book presents rigorous empirical analysis based on recent theoretical framework in international economics, focusing on the highest growing region in the world. The use of micro-data analysis - a key feature of this book - gives us much richer information on various issues of globalization. This book, therefore, should be of the interest to scholars and postgraduate students of international economics, development economics, and East Asian economics.

The Resurgence of East Asia
The East Asian expansion since the 1960s stands out as a global power shift with few historical precedents. The Resurgence of East Asia examines the rise of the region as one of the world's economic power centres from three temporal perspectives: 500 years, 150 years and 50 years, each denoting an epoch in regional and world history and providing a vantage point against which to assess contemporary developments.

The rise of the new East : business strategies for success in a world of increasing complexity
\"Taking the reader on a tour of the fast-changing East, The Rise of the New East provides simple business strategies for dealing with the world's growing complexity. From China to India to Dubai, powerfully disruptive forces have resulted from the East's resurgence, and the clash of these forces has had unexpected economic, political, and social outcomes. Influential author Ben Simpfendorfer leads the next generation of commentary on emerging markets to take it beyond simple straight-line outcomes, arguing that the business world should respond to the East's rise by embracing complexity and planning for the unexpected. In a rare combination of high-level economic and political analysis and street-level experience--from China's vast factories, to Indonesia's Muslim consumers, to India's Bollywood films--the emerging world is presented in an accessible and engaging way, and the result is essential guidance for financial investors, senior managers, and business owners. Simpfendorfer relates his experience of working for some of the world's largest multinationals, transacting deals between countries such as China and Pakistan, and assisting mid-sized foreign companies in deciding how to enter the East, in order to provide readers with commercially relevant and tested solutions\"-- Provided by publisher.
