Dieser Bericht stellt die wesentlichen Indikatoren, die für die Beurteilung der Klimaschutz-Ziele maßgeblich sind, zusammen und kommentiert sie. Dabei werden Daten für alle Kontinente und die wesentlichen Länder dargestellt. Damit ist die Hoffnung verbunden, dass die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen und der weltweiten Energiewirtschaft Diskussionen auslöst und zu Einsichten führt, die trotz verschiedenen und z.T. widersprechenden Interessen eine Annäherung der Standpunkte ermöglichen. Im Anhang sind energiewirtschaftliche Grundlagen, Näheres zum Klimaschutz und die Situation der Schweiz zusammengestellt. Neu an der 2. Auflage ist, neben Ergänzungen und Berücksichtigung der von der UN-Konferenz COP21 in Paris vereinbarten Ziele, die Aktualisierung auf Grund der neuesten Daten der Internationalen Energieagentur (IEA), der Weltbank und des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IMF). Der Inhalt  Einleitende und zusammenfassende Bemerkungen.- Hauptbericht: Gegenwärtige energiewirtschaftliche Weltlage und Konsequenzen für den Klimaschutz.- Anhang. Die Zielgruppen Das Buch wendet sich nicht nur an die Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft sondern auch an die Entscheidungsträger in Regierung und Industrie. Der Autor Valentin Crastan ist emeritierter Professor. Er schöpft inhaltlich aus seiner langjährigen Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet der Energieversorgung. Nach praktischer und leitender Tätigkeit in Unternehmen der Energietechnik (Brown Boveri/ABB, Baden, Schweizerische Elektrizitäts- und Verkehrsgesellschaft, Basel) ist er als Professor für Energiesysteme und Regelungstechnik an der Berner Fachhochschule, Hochschule für Technik und Informatik, Biel, berufen worden, wo er  zudem neun Jahre lang auch als Dekan des Fachbereichs Elektrotechnik/Kommunikationstechnik amtete.

Nearly one-third of US workers must obtain a license from a government agency to perform their jobs legally. This impacts employees across all areas, including lawyers, doctors, and accountants, as well as florists, hairdressers, physical therapists, and plumbers. The justification for occupational licensing is that potential consumers allegedly lack the information and knowledge to judge the competence of a service provider. This necessitates a licensing system built to ensure that customers are served by people who have received adequate training and certification in their profession. While there are recognizable benefits of occupational licensing, the training and certification requirements create barriers to entry for employees or those entering the profession. These barriers can limit competition, raise service costs, and restrict consumer access to essential services. Recent empirical work suggests that consumers have incurred these costs without being adequately protected from incompetent or unscrupulous service providers. This book addresses this situation head on. In light of occupational licensing's shortcomings, the authors of this book propose and analyze constructive reforms, assessing their effects on key professions such as law, medicine, and finance. Chapters identify the significant costs of current policies and they recommend practical reforms that rely more on market forces. The resulting book provides new ways to reduce licensing costs without compromising service quality.

In recent years, population economics has become increasingly popular in both economic and policy analysis. For the inquiry into the long term development of an economy, the interaction between demographic change and economic activity cannot be neglected without omitting major aspects of the problems. This volume helps to further developments in theoretical and applied demographical economics covering the issues of demographic change and economic development. The interaction between demographic change and economic development in the long run is one central issue. One conjecture is that it is mainly the relative population pressure which controls the pace of economic development. However, econometric evidence presented in the book does not support this hypothesis. Other papers deal with the relationships between fertility and business cycle fluctuations, the timing of births, the efficiency in intergenerational transfers, the role of open economies for the population issue, historical perspectives of demographic change in Hungary and an outline of recent developments of applied modelling using input-output models, programming models or econometric techniques.
