This book shows how regional cooperation and integration have increased massively in scale and scope in recent years, as developing countries seek new ways to shield themselves from economic turbulence and to kick-start their economies in the face of stagnant global demand. The trend is partly a defense mechanism against the limitations of the international financial system, but also reflects a wider search for new and different growth paths more appropriate with developing countries increasing economic and political voice. As a consequence, the landscape of financial and monetary mechanisms has changed dramatically, especially in the ten years since the economic crisis of 20072008.

Running Regressions introduces first-year social science undergraduates, particularly those studying economics and business, to the practical aspects of simple regression analysis, without adopting an esoteric, mathematical approach. It shows that statistical analysis can be simultaneously straightforward, useful and interesting, and can deal with topical, real-world issues. Each chapter introduces an economic theory or idea by relating it to an issue of topical interest, and explains how data and econometric analysis can be used to test it. The book can be used as a self-standing text or to supplement conventional econometric texts. It is also ideally suited as a guide to essays and project work.

"Southern-Led Development Finance examines some of the innovative new south-south financial arrangements and institutions that have emerged in recent years, as countries from the Global South seek new ways to transform their economies and to shield themselves from global economic turbulence. A few decades ago it would have been difficult to predict the rapid emergence of the trillion dollar holdings of today's southern-owned development banks, infrastructure funds, foreign exchange reserve funds and Sovereign Wealth Funds. The book argues that southern-led development finance plays a significant part in a wider search for new and different paths towards more inclusive, equitable and sustainable patterns of investment, trade and growth. This book brings together insights from theory and from practice, incorporating the voices of bankers, policymakers and practitioners alongside those of international academic researchers. It covers the largest and most high profile new initiatives stemming from Asia; some tried and tested examples in Latin America; experiences in Africa; and also the role advanced economies are contributing to the mix. Whilst the book tends towards the view that Southern-led initiatives could potentially change the global financial landscape profoundly, it also discusses the variation in the success of these initiatives, and recognises that ensuring finance works truly for development requires more than just the technical availability of funds. As governments and businesses frustrated by the traditional North-dominated mechanisms and international financial system seek new approaches to investment, trade and finance, this book is a timely contribution to the debate. It will be of interest to practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students working on development finance"--
