The last decade of the 20th century witnessed striking progress in the developing world and at the same time, it also saw stagnation and setbacks. Economic growth is key to development both in its pace and also in its quality. 'The Quality of Growth' is a collection of essays in an ongoing research project. The book looks at the 'World Development Report 1991: The Challenge of Development' and examines how far we have progressed at the turn of the millennium. According to the report, there are four factors especially relevant for poverty outcomes: • distribution, • sustainability, • variability, and • governance surrounding the growth process. 'The Quality of Growth' advocates broadening the policy framework from a quantitative agenda for short-term economic growth to a qualitative agenda involving human, social, and environmentally sustainable development. It is an important resource for policymakers, academicians, and all those working in the area of international development. A copublication of the World Bank and Oxford University Press.

This collection assesses the legal developments which have taken place since the 1980s in China. It discusses China's achievements in building a new legal system and identifies the theoretical and institutional limitations of China's legal reform. Featuring an extensive case-study of foreign investment law, this book considers a wide-ranging set of interconnecting variables in China's changing social context, in order to examine and illustrate the gap between the text and actual practice of the law, especially as it relates to foreign direct investment. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese Law, Business and Economics, as well as to business investors in China.

RAND Corporation analysts developed an approach for estimating the district resources required to put in place and operate principal pipelines—pipelines for preparing, hiring, supporting, and managing school leaders—based on data they collected from six urban districts that participated in The Wallace Foundation’s Principal Pipeline Initiative. This report presents that approach and estimates of those resources and expenditures.

By the year 2000, annual sales of computer products to China may well reach $15-18 billion, making China one of the largest computer markets in the world. At the same time, China's own computer industry is expected to become world-class and internationally competitive. How this will come about, the market and economic trends that are presently developing, and the opportunities they present for Western businesses are explored here by two insiders, offering not only useful analysis but hands-on guidance to the ways in which China's computer market works. With an appendix listing more than 500 of the most important Chinese computer companies, industrial and professional organizations, and related consulting and law firms, the book will be essential reading for computer industry management and top sales executives, and for investment bankers and others with important stakes in the China market.
China's computer market is not easy to enter. The key to doing so, according to the authors, is to understand not only China's unique historical, cultural, and environmental factors that condition the way business is done there, but the way Chinese businesspeople think and act. China is a low-income and transitional economy, much different from Japanese and other Asian economies, and incentives and price structures are distorted and the rules of the game are not clearly written. The legal infrastructure is incomplete, and laws are not rigorously enforced. Using the latest data available only from local Chinese sources, Zhang and Wang dissect the Chinese computer market in terms that Westerners can understand and relate to: its opportunities, but also its risks. Academics teaching and studying international business, marketing, and investment will also benefit from the authors' insights.

Filter Design for System Modeling, State Estimation and Fault Diagnosis

Filter Design for System Modeling, State Estimation and Fault Diagnosis analyzes the latest methods in the design of filters for system modeling, state estimation and fault detection with the intention of providing a new perspective of both theoretical and practical aspects. This book also includes fault diagnosis techniques for unknown but bounded systems, their real applications on modeling and fault diagnosis for lithium battery systems, DC-DC converters and spring damping systems. It proposes new methods based on zonotopic Kalman filtering, a variety of state estimation methods of zonotope and its derived algorithms, a state estimation method based on convex space, set inversion interval observer filtering-based guaranteed fault estimation and a novel interval observer filtering-based fault diagnosis. The methods presented in this text are more practical than the common probabilistic-based algorithms, since these can be applied in unknown but bounded noisy environments. This book will be an essential read for students, scholars and engineering professionals who are interested in filter design, system modeling, state estimation, fault diagnosis and related fields.
