Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Damages<br />
Calculations: A Trans-Atlantic Dialogue<br />
Synopsis<br />
<strong>Books</strong><br />
ISBN: 9781848553026<br />
Publication date: 1 July 2009<br />
Format: Hardback<br />

The volume focuses on litigation damages, economic and non-economic, including<br />
punitive damages; their definitions, calculations, and assignments in the USA and EU. The<br />
objective is to examine areas of convergence and divergence in the academic and<br />
practical treatment of damages issues in the USA and EU. Many of the chapters in the<br />
volume are drawn from the papers and discussions generated at the Trans-Atlantic<br />
Dialogue meetings of the National Association of Forensic Economics that began in<br />
Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2004. That meeting focused on the development of the “Ogden”<br />
multipliers for calculating damages mandated for consideration by UK Courts in 1999. The<br />
2005 meetings (Dublin, Ireland) centred on Markov methodologies used in the USA for<br />
generating work-life tables and their adoption into damages multipliers, punitive damages,<br />
and the process of Irish tort reform. In 2006 discussions in Florence, Italy, focused on<br />
methods for calculating non-economic damages in the USA and EU as well as the<br />
process of harmonization of tort law within the EU. Most recently, the 2007 discussions in<br />
Barcelona, Spain, dealt with comparisons of scheduled damages systems in the USA and<br />
the EU.

This book contends that the current accounting model, which is used world-wide, and the<br />
current accounting standard-setting process are seriously deficient. The book describes<br />
the deficiencies in a historical context and proposes two complete new models to correct<br />
the deficiencies. One is an accounting model called the “wealth measurement early<br />
warning model”. The other is a standard-setting process model called the “quick response<br />
model”. The new models are revolutionary and controversial. They are revolutionary in<br />
the sense of imposing extensive changes on the accounting establishment, but also<br />
because they have three characteristics that are totally absent in the current system:<br />
1. They are simple to understand and apply<br />
2. They are quick to answer questions about new situations<br />
3. They are reflective of economic events as they occur.<br />

Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology is an annual research<br />
series which presents in three volumes materials in two fields, both broadly considered:<br />
1. The history of economic thought<br />
2. The methodology of economics.<br />
Volume 27A features articles on classical and modern economic thought (Smith’s<br />
lecturing, editing the Harrod papers, Viner’s reminiscences of the <strong>New</strong> Deal, Lavoie’s<br />
lectures, and recent relational conceptions of the individual), and includes review essays<br />
on books about historical figures in economics (Schumpeter, Keynes, Mincer) and the<br />
historical treatment of particular movements or issues in the discipline (Chicago School,<br />
comparative economic history, economic growth, postmodernism, and ethics). Volume 27B<br />
is devoted to a collection of primary materials about Henry George’s relation to the Irish<br />
land question. Volume 27C contains course notes from Oxford and the University of<br />
Chicago taken by F. Taylor Ostrander and Glenn Johnson, an autobiographical account of<br />
Ostrander’s career, and some other notes and correspondence related to his work and<br />
studies.<br />

This volume presents a series of perspectives that evaluate the merits of and potential for<br />
establishing institutionalized social valuation protocols within university settings. The<br />
volume opens with a comprehensive overview of the existing literature that addresses<br />
issues related to assessing the social value of university innovations. The first section<br />
provides sociological, organizational, and economic perspectives on issues informing the<br />
forecasting and/or demonstrating the social value of university innovations. The second<br />
section explores potential metrics and measures for either forecasting or demonstrating<br />
the social and economic value of university innovations. The third section concludes by<br />
considering issues of governance over and the organizational positioning institutionalized<br />

Today, important fisheries have become commercially extinct and others are threatened.<br />
The dominant presence of this scientific uncertainty indicates the need to rethink the<br />
existing fishery management system. This book examines in detail the underlying root<br />
causes of our failure to successfully manage the fishery resources of the world’s oceans<br />
and offers alternative solutions that will allow human society to maximize the long-term<br />
benefits from ocean resources. This monograph will be of great interest to academics in<br />
economics, business, environmental sciences and sociology, in addition to the core<br />
market of natural resources management, environmental policy, resource conservation,<br />
economic development and geography. In addition, it is relevant for those working in<br />
fisheries management for government bodies and NGOs.

This proposed volume will provide state-of-the art reviews of health care management,<br />
linking concerns about health care workforce management with health care organization<br />
management issues. This meso perspective, linking micro and macro organizational<br />
processes, should appeal to health care management researchers and doctoral students.<br />
Review articles in this volume will orient new and established scholars about current<br />
themes within health care management, as well as emerging themes and divergent views.<br />
The authors evaluate these future directions and offer their perspective on the direction or<br />
directions that would help build theory and improve the practice of health care<br />
management. Specifically, the volume will focus both on health care workforce<br />
management issues, including allied health professionals, nurses, and physicians, and on<br />
health care organization management issues, ranging from organizational governance and<br />
strategy to the globalization of health care organizations information and knowledge<br />

Managing Foreign Subsidiaries: Headquarters Role,<br />

A major development in recent research on the multinational enterprise (MNE) is the<br />
increased attention given to the interdependent, differentiated roles of the subsidiaries and<br />
their implications for MNE and subsidiary management. Paralleling this development is<br />
the shift away from studying subsidiaries as subunits to be controlled by the headquarters<br />
to investigating what subsidiaries do and how their activities can help develop firm-specific<br />
advantages.<br />
This volume includes contributions from leading scholars in the field from North America,<br />
Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Different from the traditional, single-discipline-based<br />
investigation, it presents a multi-disciplinary approach to researching subsidiary dynamics<br />
and its effective management, with a focus on three important issues: the role of the<br />
headquarters within the context of subsidiaries as members of a differentiated,<br />
interdependent network; the development of subsidiary capabilities and their impact on<br />
firm performance; and subsidiaries as learning agents for the MNE, particularly in<br />
emerging markets such as China.<br />

This book, Utterance Interpretation and Cognitive Models, is a collection of papers that<br />
stems from the conference of the same name held at the Free University of Brussels in<br />
June 2006. Our main objective is to reconcile armchair theorising about the semanticspragmatics<br />
interface with hypotheses about cognitive architecture. For that reason, the<br />
papers in the collection place some of the hottest questions in contemporary philosophy of<br />
language within the scope of a psychologically plausible theory of human communication.<br />
The collection is articulated into three parts. The first concerns the cognitive counterparts<br />
of lexical meanings. The second explores the links between moods and forces. The third<br />
looks at the epistemological status of semantic theory from the point of view of human<br />
psychology.<br />

strategies employees use in managing emotion at work and how the work context affects<br />
these, the impact of emotional displays in the workplace on performance appraisal and<br />
perceived organizational commitment, the role of unconscious affect on attitudes and<br />
behaviors at work, how interpersonal relationships between co-workers affect vitality and<br />
job performance, cross-national and cross-cultural issues, and how to build positive work<br />

This volume is motivated by key questions and challenges associated with reviving and<br />
developing a comparative perspective. One organizing theme of the volume is to present<br />
comparative analysis as a means to explain and describe organizational heterogeneity, at<br />
varying levels and in varying contexts. While much empirical work looks for the sources of<br />
homogeneity within fields, industries, etc., we believe that one advantage of doing<br />
comparative analysis is to make assessments of the observed differences between<br />
organizations. Thus, we have asked all the authors to consider how their style of<br />
comparative analysis enhances our understanding of organizational heterogeneity. The<br />
volume consists of two sections: an introductory essay section and a section where<br />
authors focus on specific theoretical, methodological and empirical topics. A couple of<br />
papers are original empirical analyses that use a comparative logic or method. We expect<br />
that each paper, in addition to providing a theoretical contribution, will offer a metadiscussion<br />
that explains how taking a comparative approach enhances our understanding<br />
of the phenomenon of interest.<br />
