Understanding and Regulating the Market at a Time of Globalization (eBook, PDF)

The Case of the Cement Industry

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How does a market globalize? How do antitrust and trade policies speed up or slow down the process? How do firms take part in it? The book offers a comprehensive appraisal of the phenomenon from a thorough study of the cement industry. Considered as a model of spatial competition in economic textbooks and inherently local, the industry globalized in the 1980s. Hence, the originality of the book to deal with an extreme case that highlights the fundamental characteristics of globalization.

Rezensionen

'...I admire this book greatly. It is written in a style that non-specialists (and even non-economists) will find most inviting, even though it deploys concepts that are sophisticated...' - William James Adams, Professor of Economics, The University of Michigan
