Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book introduces the gamma-divergence, a measure of distance between probability distributions that was proposed by Fujisawa and Eguchi in 2008. The gamma-divergence has been extensively explored to provide robust estimation when the power index ¿ is positive. The gamma-divergence can be defined even when the power index ¿ is negative, as long as the condition of integrability is satisfied. Thus, the authors consider the gamma-divergence defined on a set of discrete distributions. The arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means for the distribution ratios are closely connected with the gamma-divergence with a negative ¿. In particular, the authors call the geometric-mean (GM) divergence the gamma-divergence when ¿ is equal to -1.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book provides solid sociological foundations to computational social science (CSS). CSS is an emerging research field, and many books with those words in the title are on the market. However, CSS has not become mainstream in sociology, for which there are two reasons. First, CSS does not necessarily solve major research questions in sociology. Second, its sociological foundations are weak. These two reasons are interrelated-that is, CSS cannot solve major research questions because its sociological foundations are weak. Thus, even if it tries to solve those questions, its approaches seem to mainstream sociologists to miss the point. To resolve that shortcoming, this book fills the gap between CSS and sociology, shows that CSS can solve major research questions in sociology, and advances sociology by introducing to it theories and methodologies of CSS.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 136 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book reviews the historical trajectory of economic studies on institutions and points out their limitations. It constructs a new framework for institutional analysis using transaction costs and transaction modules, proposes measuring transaction costs through time, elucidates the evolution of institutions through these costs, and incorporates the trade of rights between governments, markets, and enterprises into the realm of economic institutional research. The book argues that China's reform and opening-up began with a high transaction cost system. After competing between planned and market economies, China opted for a market economy system characterized by lower transaction costs, unraveling the 'three binds' of ownership, resource allocation, and distribution methods with social systems, which can be deemed the 'secret' to China's rapid economic development. The book also reveals that under the influence of path dependency, diminishing efficiency, and diversification laws, China's economic system has seen a spread of constraints from points to lines and surfaces, which are eroding reform dividends and posing constraints on development. Through examples in investment, land for construction, energy, and business environments, the book analyzes the changes in transaction costs brought about by institutional changes and their positive and negative impacts on development and proposes a vision and pathway for future reforms.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 336 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book demonstrates the social and historical conditions for the existence and development of the representative system and uncovers the laws dictating its occurrence, development and operation. Due to the barriers of language and cultural communication, the understanding of democracy differs in western and Chinese cultures, which leads to many misinterpretations and even bias. The book displays the merits and drawbacks of different forms of democracy on the basis of a comparative study of the different representative systems and argues that different representative systems can co-exist side by side and that the selection of the appropriate form of democracy must reflect the actual conditions in a given country. Therefore, a blind evaluation or criticism is unreliable.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 356 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book aims to answer the question of how Chinese financial holding companies should structure their shareholder rights protection mechanisms in a global context. And this book uses the two-part approach to clarify the issue of shareholder rights protection of financial holding companies. The first part describes the external protection mechanism (financial market regulation), and the second part describes the internal protection mechanism (internal corporate governance). Moreover, this book mainly adopts three methodologies, including doctrinal analysis, comparative analysis (Chinese law, French law, UK law and US law) and historical analysis, to illustrate the viewpoints. And in the light of the comprehensive and comparative analysis, this book provides an insightful perspective to deal with the problem of protecting shareholders' rights in Chinese financial holding companies. The novelty of this approach lies in its comprehensiveness. On the one hand, it analyses shareholder rights protection mechanisms, including external and internal mechanisms. On the other hand, it provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation of financial holding companies in all 193 member states of the United Nations. At the same time, its comparative approach focuses on Chinese law, American law, English law and French law. Such peer comparisons are relatively rare.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 316 pp. Englisch.
