Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts or Frontiers in Applied General Equilibrium Modeling

Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts

Author: Thomas P Edmonds

Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts 4e by Edmonds/Edmonds/Tsay/Olds focuses on concepts that are isolated and introduced in a logical sequence. The authors intentionally limit the scope of the material to help students build a solid foundation of the most important concepts in managerial accounting.

Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts 4e is organized in a distinctive way, particularly in the first six chapters. The objective is to establish a coherent, integrative framework that enables students to build knowledge in stepwise fashion. The authors’ goal is for students to understand the underlying principles of accounting, not just memorize content.

Frontiers in Applied General Equilibrium Modeling: Essays in Honor of Herbert Scarf

Author: T N Srinivasan

This volume brings together twelve papers by many of the most prominent applied general equilibrium modelers honoring Herbert Scarf. The contributors discuss some traditional as well as more contemporary topics in the field, including non-convexities in economy-wide models, tax policy, developmental modeling and energy modeling. The book also covers a range of new approaches, conceptual issues and computational algorithms. An introductory chapter written by the editors maps out issues and scenarios for the future evolution of applied general equilibrium.
