Construction Economics Description: Construction economics is a core component of a wide range of undergraduate courses in the built environment. Consequently students need to grasp quickly the basic principles of economic theory and see how this relates to a unique and complex industry. In addition this needs to be seen in a modern context and this new approach adopts the argument that economics is central to understanding the recent government initiatives concerning sustainable construction. Traditionally economics is regarded as a challenging subject, so it needs to be presented in a very clear and user-friendly framework. This textbook provides brief summaries every few pages to clarify the key points that are covered. Conceptual terms are highlighted and collected at the back of the book to form a supporting glossary of construction economics. Important definitions and formulas are picked out in second color. Brief extracts from academic journals link the book to primary literature, and are used to consolidate and prompt discussion.And finally website reviews are used to set the scene for each of the three parts comprising the text. Students across a wide range of disciplines, ranging from construction management and construction engineering through to architecture, property and surveying should find this an invaluable textbook....

Economics: A Foundation Course For The Built Environment Description: There are many introductory books on economics but there are fewer introductory books on the construction industry. Construction students studying economics often complain that the subject is not relevant - it is too abstract and does not help them in their working lives.;The aim of this book has been to bridge that gap - to provide an account of the basic principles of economic relationships and to indicate a linkage between those principles and the real world of construction.;Initial chapters in each section focus mainly on economic theory, later chapters are more descriptive, setting the theory in the context of the industry. Throughout the book illustrative material is drawn from newspaper and journal articles reporting on the industry. These case studies are an important element in bringing together the two strands, theory and practice.;The book is aimed at members of the industry who need an introduction to economics for examination purposes to gain professional qualifications. It should also be of interest to those who wish to extend their understanding of the economic context in which the industry operates: a better understanding of the economic environment must benefit effective decision-making. This book should be of interest to students on construction courses.... Read More about the "Economics: A Foundation Course For The Built Environment" on the The Nile Book Store Website
