In this book, with the involvement not only of clinical psychiatrists but also of neurobiologists, specific issues of psychotic disorders (mainly schizophrenia and mood disorders) are reviewed. The focus of attention ranges from therapeutics to the new frontiers of epigenetics. A special focus is on the individual reactions to psychosis (ranging from psychological ones to treatments and neurobiological basis). Because of the rapid development of neurosciences, which are showing common underling factors to different phenotypical expressions of mental illness, we are facing an enormous growth of biological data, which is not always easy to interpret. The risk is to forget that we are relating to other individuals, with their stories, and, most of all, with their environmental resources and interactions. The contributions to this book will range from individual experience (a personal history of illness) through some aspects of individual management of illness (insight), from correct use of available psychosocial resources to the environment-gene relationships (epigenetics).

Competition, Innovation, and Antitrust develops a theory of market leadership in the presence of endogenous entry of firms and applies it to models of competition in the market and for the market. On this basis, the author provides a new approach to antitrust policy which is in support of the Chicago school but founded on a solid game-theoretic framework. The analysis is applied to the study of market leadership in the New Economy and of the recent antitrust cases involving Microsoft. Federico Etro is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Milan, Bicocca, and President of the International Think-tank on Innovation and Competition. He has publications on leading international journals as The American Economic Review, The RAND Journal of Economics, The Economic Journal and others, and is a consultant for international organizations and companies on industrial and antitrust policy. This book explores the role of leadership in the economic theory of oligopoly, both for static oligopoly and for dynamic patent races. I thoroughly enjoyed its refreshing perspective. Simon Anderson, University of Virginia The simple but fundamental result on aggressive pricing by leaders facing endogenous entry, which has eluded researchers on the foundations of industrial organization so far, is bound to have a significant impact on the way people think about market entry, the role of potential competition, and issues of timing, strategic commitment and incumbency. Rabah Amir, University of Arizona In this innovative and thoughtful book, Etro provides a novel approach to competition policy in innovative industries. Building on the notion of Stackelberg equilibrium with endogenous entry, which he has himself contributed to develop, he highlights the crucial role of potential competition in determining market performance. It will be of great value to scholars and visionary practitioners, and may hopefully have a large impact on competition policy. Vincenzo Denicolò, University of Bologna .

Endogenous Market Structures and the Macroeconomy introduces strategic interactions and endogenous entry to study business cycles, trade and growth. Going beyond the neoclassical approach, the EMSs approach provides new insights on macroeconomic policy, trade policy and R&D policy. The book discusses related empirical evidence and applications to issues of business creation, innovation and leadership in the New Economy, and it analyzes macroeconomic mechanisms and policymaking in the current crisis. Prof. Federico Etro teaches macroeconomics at the University of Milan, Bicocca and industrial organization at the University of Edinburgh for the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics. He studied at the U.C.L.A. and Harvard, and wrote articles for American Economic Review, International Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Macroeconomics, Public Choice and the book "Competition, Innovation, and Antitrust" (2007, Springer). Etro reviews the EMSs approach to macroeconomics and derives several new results. The potential of this approach to change the way we think about the macroeconomy emerges clearly from the impressive range of topics to which it is successfully applied. In each case, the approach challenges the traditional view and policy implications. Etro's discussion of the EMSs approach in the context of a coherent and comprehensive analytical framework provides an invaluable service to the profession. Pietro Peretto, Duke University For many decades, the field of industrial organization lived in the world of microeconomics, separately from the macroeconomic world of economic growth and business cycles. In recent years we have seen a fruitful convergence of the two. This book is a very useful contribution to this literature. Avinash Dixit, Princeton University A must read for macroeconomists and international economists who value microfoundations and view micro-level dynamics as a key determinant of aggregate phenomena. It is equally valuable as a textbook for graduate teaching and reference for researchers. Fabio Ghironi, Boston College.
