Econometric Models of the Euro-area Central Banks

This book presents the main macroeconomic models used in the central banks of the euro area. These include models of individual countries, multi-country models and aggregate euro-area models. In my view the important contribution of this volume is that it is the first attempt to provide a systematic comparison of these models in terms of their structures, main features and properties. In line w…

Business strategies for sustainable development

The concept of sustainable development has received growing recognition, but it is a new idea for many business executives. For most, the concept remains abstract and theoretical. Protecting an organization’s capital base is a well-accepted business principle. Yet organizations do not generally recognize the possibility of extending this notion to the world’s natural and human resource…

Planning with Complexity

The book you have in your hand culminates a journey that began over forty years ago (though time may show it is merely a way station). The journey mirrors developments in planning and policy making during that time – the effort to integrate theory and practice, the search for more effective ways to conduct policy, and the growing role of collaboration. This journey began in 1967 when author I…

Programming Abstractions in C++

This course reader has had an interesting evolutionary history that in some ways mirrors the genesis of the C++ language itself. Just as Bjarne Stroustup’s first version of C++ was implemented on top of a C language base, this reader began its life as Eric Roberts’s textbook Programming Abstractions in C (Addison-Wesley, 1998). In 2002-03, Julie Zelenski updated it for use with the C++ pr…

Programming WCF Services

WCF is a software development kit for developing and deploying services on Windows. I will describe what a service is in the next section. But WCF is much more—it is literally a better .NET. WCF provides a runtime environment for your services, enabling you to expose Common Language Runtime (CLR) types as services and to consume other services as CLR types. Although in theory you could build …

HTTP is an application-level protocol that defines operations for transferring representations between clients and servers. In this protocol, methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are operations on resources. This protocol eliminates the need for you to invent application-specific operations such as createOrder, getStatus, updateStatus, etc. How much you can benefit from the HTTP infrastru…
