Recasting the Insolvency Regulation: Improvements and Missed Opportunities (Short Studies in Private International Law)
by Vesna Lazić Steven StuijThis book comprises contributions relating to the Insolvency Regulation Recast,which recently entered into force. The authors analyse the changes introduced andgive their views on the improvements that are thereby achieved. In other words, theyassess to what extent the amendments have mitigated the disadvantages of the previousInsolvency Regulation.Three of the chapters concentrate on the issues pertaining to jurisdiction, such asthe problem of forum shopping by re-locating the debtor’s centre of main interests.Furthermore, the extent to which the parties have the freedom to contract withinthe framework of the Insolvency Regulation Recast is discussed. Also, the relevanceand consequences of recent developments in corporate law for the current crossborderinsolvency framework, as well as the jurisdictional issues concerning approvalrequirements are amongst the matters addressed. Aside from the jurisdictional matters,the question of the law applicable to so-called ‘avoidance actions’ is analysed and crossbordercooperation between national authorities in the field of insolvency is touchedupon. To conclude, this book covers a range of specific and intriguing topics broughtup by the Insolvency Regulations Recast.This third volume in the Short Studies in Private International Law Series is primarilyaimed at legal academics dealing with cross-border insolvency, but it will also proveuseful to insolvency judges and practitioners, as well as those specialised in financialand fiscal law. Finally, advanced students as well as those with a general interest ininsolvency law will also find it of added value.Vesna Lazić is Senior Researcher at the T.M.C. Asser Institute and Associate Professorof Private Law at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. Steven Stuij is an expert inprivate international law and PhD Candidate at the Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam.
Recasting the Role of the CEO: Transferring the Responsibility for Change-How Leaders Can Tap the Creative Energy of Employees
by Vineet NayarEveryone agrees that leadership is fundamental to a company, yet its role is difficult to define in companies that compete in a knowledge economy. According to Vineet Nayar, CEO of HCL Technologies, a leading global IT services company, the greatest impact of the "employees first, customers second" approach to management is that it unleashes the power of those working in what he calls the value zone-where direct interaction with customers actually creates customer value-and lessens the inhibiting effect of those in top-level positions, thus increasing the speed and quality of innovation and decision making. In fact, according to Nayar, if you are a leader who wants to create sustainable change and prevent your company from periodically falling out of the race, you must stop thinking of yourself and your leadership team as the only source of new ideas. Instead, you must begin to transfer ownership of your company's growth to the next generation of leaders who are closer to the value zone. Only then can you create a company in which employees feel like owners, are excited by their work, and focus every day on change and innovation. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 4 of "Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down."

Recent Advances and Future Directions in Causality, Prediction, and Specification Analysis
by Norman R. Swanson Xiaohong ChenThis book is a collection of articles that present the most recent cutting edge results on specification and estimation of economic models written by a number of the world's foremost leaders in the fields of theoretical and methodological econometrics. Recent advances in asymptotic approximation theory, including the use of higher order asymptotics for things like estimator bias correction, and the use of various expansion and other theoretical tools for the development of bootstrap techniques designed for implementation when carrying out inference are at the forefront of theoretical development in the field of econometrics. One important feature of these advances in the theory of econometrics is that they are being seamlessly and almost immediately incorporated into the "empirical toolbox" that applied practitioners use when actually constructing models using data, for the purposes of both prediction and policy analysis and the more theoretically targeted chapters in the book will discuss these developments. Turning now to empirical methodology, chapters on prediction methodology will focus on macroeconomic and financial applications, such as the construction of diffusion index models for forecasting with very large numbers of variables, and the construction of data samples that result in optimal predictive accuracy tests when comparing alternative prediction models. Chapters carefully outline how applied practitioners can correctly implement the latest theoretical refinements in model specification in order to "build" the best models using large-scale and traditional datasets, making the book of interest to a broad readership of economists from theoretical econometricians to applied economic practitioners.

Recent Advances in Estimating Nonlinear Models
by Jun Ma Mark WoharNonlinear models have been used extensively in the areas of economics and finance. Recent literature on the topic has shown that a large number of series exhibit nonlinear dynamics as opposed to the alternative--linear dynamics. Incorporating these concepts involves deriving and estimating nonlinear time series models, and these have typically taken the form of Threshold Autoregression (TAR) models, Exponential Smooth Transition (ESTAR) models, and Markov Switching (MS) models, among several others. This edited volume provides a timely overview of nonlinear estimation techniques, offering new methods and insights into nonlinear time series analysis. It features cutting-edge research from leading academics in economics, finance, and business management, and will focus on such topics as Zero-Information-Limit-Conditions, using Markov Switching Models to analyze economics series, and how best to distinguish between competing nonlinear models. Principles and techniques in this book will appeal to econometricians, finance professors teaching quantitative finance, researchers, and graduate students interested in learning how to apply advances in nonlinear time series modeling to solve complex problems in economics and finance.
