{"product_id":"modern-construction-economics-theory-and-application","title":"Modern Construction Economics: Theory and Application","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional building economics has primarily been concerned with issues around project appraisal and cost management techniques. On the other hand, modern construction economics has a wider focus with stronger links to mainstream economics, reflecting an increased interest in a range of theoretical issues in construction economics, both at the macro and micro level. In Modern Construction Economics: Theory and Application, a variety of approaches are used to present a coherent vision of synthesis between industry economics and project economics. 　\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003edeveloping construction economics as idustry economics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecompetition and barriers to entry in construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einnovation in construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etheory testing in construction management research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecollusion and corruption in the construction sector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluding contributions from academics in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Australia, this is a truly global review of a core issue for the construction industry worldwide.
