Economics

Author Henry Neave (see right of photo) gives us an insight into how he came about producing his Statistics Tables titles: Statistics Tables & Elementary Statistics Tables and how these books became of interest to a Market that some doubted even existed.

Despite the negativity Henry received from colleagues, the books proved to be very successful, which in turn made Henry Neave one of our leading academic authors.

Dr. Hamid R. Seddighi tells us a little about what we can expect from the 2nd Edition of Introductory Econometrics: A Practical Approach, 2nd Edition.

In recent years, certain economic realities—the financial crisis, for example—have challenged the assumptions, methods, and models economists have used to interpret empirically observable facts that make up “the economy”. Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction by Julian Reiss (April 2013) introduces readers to the field in which many of those challenges are now being articulated. Questions of ethics, of the nature of human rationality when faced with economic decision-making, and of the verifiability of economic models are all now being asked anew about economic practices and decisions. This interview hopes to open those questions to all curious readers. Click here to read the full Q&A.
