Overview: Revised and extended study edition of Kiefer`s successful book on the connections between macroeconomics and government politicsSubject of this book is the intersection between political science and macroeconomics. The central idea is the existence of a political economic equilibrium in which the government acts to dampen the business cycle. The election cycle implies that this equilibrium may be a cycle rather than a point. An extension of new Keynesian theory provides a model of endogenous stabilization in which the government practices short-run stabilization policy which dampens

Overview: Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biologi­ cal sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modem as well as the classical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the establishment of the series Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical s

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Numerous improvements in our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain states have come from the development of animal models, most of which involve partial peripheral nerve injury. The animal models have shown that nerve injury initiates a cascade of events resulting in altered neurochemistry and molecular biology of the peripheral neurons, the dorsal root ganglion cell, and changes in neurotransmitter and receptor expression in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Moreover, nerve injury produces anatomical changes with functiona
