Description
A sample of Professor Tönu Puus contributions to economic theory, ranging from seminal results on investment criteria under imperfect capital markets, via rules for optimal resource extraction when the grade of the ore is heterogeneous, to modern nonlinear dynamics as applied to well-known economic fields such as business cycle analysis and oligopoly theory. Puus thinking on cultural economics and his views on the methodology of economic science shine through every paper in this volume.
