This collection was prepared as  a tribute to a teacher and scholar, whose accomplishments have  enriched various fields of economics. The magnitude of his interests  is reflected in the breadth of topics covered in this volume:  industrial economics, competition policy and related topics. However,  if one unifying principle runs through Manfred Neumann's work, it is  the belief in the power of competition. \u003cbr\u003e  Born on May 16, 1933, Manfred Neumann studied economics at the  University of Cologne. He graduated in 1960. In 1969 Manfred Neumann  was appointed Professor of Economics at Nürnberg University. He  was Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences of the  University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, President of the European  Association for Research in Industrial Economics (EARIE) and Chairman  of Industrial Organization Study Group of the \u003cem\u003eVerein für\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSozialpolitik\u003c\/em\u003e. Most of his professional career has been spent at  Nürnberg, where he has helped to make the Economic Institute one  of the leading research centers in Industrial Organization. He has  also been involved in various advisory activities. \u003cbr\u003e  The volume contains 18 essays. The first twelve are grouped into four  categories: Innovation and R\u0026amp;D (Part I), Cartels (Part II), Mergers  and Merger Policy (Part III), and Methodological Issues in Industrial  Organization (Part IV). These papers fall within the bounds of  industrial economics, which has been Manfred Neumann's primary  research interest throughout his career. Part V includes two papers on  theories of international trade, which has been a recurring topic of  interest for Manfred Neumann through the years. The last three papers  look at broader policy and macroeconomic issues. \u003cbr\u003e  Contributors to this volume include Karl Aiginger, David B. Audretsch,  Paul A. Geroski, Stephen Martin and Dennis Mueller.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792382935\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5559-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 400\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312552923276,"sku":"9780792382935","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792382935.jpg?v=1771526599","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792382935","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
