Full Description
This conference proceedings volume examines key issues in international economics and the geopolitical landscape, assessing medium- and short-term developments and the structural reforms they demand. Featuring selected contributions presented at the 2024 Economic Scientific Research - Theoretical, Empirical and Practical Approaches (ESPERA) International Conference, this book analyzes the transformational forces reshaping national economies and evaluates policy tools suited to diverse regional contexts. Addressing both theoretical and applied dimensions of global economic change, this book explores themes such as cross-country implications, shifting industrial policies linked to renewable manufacturing, educational performance, public-debt pressures, fiscal-market tail risks, and the need for stronger multilateral coordination, among others. Bringing together quantitative and qualitative research, this volume is beneficial to researchers, scholars, academics, students, professionals, and decision-makers interested in the developments in the new world economy.
