Description
International experts have contributed to this volume in honor of Professor Karl A. Fox who has advanced the frontiers of economic science in many ways: by developing real-life applications of econometrics to agricultural economics and economic policy, by originating new concepts for understanding complex social systems, such as the education sector and functional economic areas, and by greatly extending the new discipline of eco-behavioral science, which deals with discrete units of social activity and its immediate environment called behavior settings.
