Applied Economics: Public Financial Management and Development

Applied Economics: Public Financial Management and Development is focused on economics applied to public financial management and development. It charts over 50 years of the author’s practical experience of economics and public policy in 60 countries on five continents, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
The book’s main focal point is on central and local government budgeting, tracing the progress of revenue aspects and expenditure allocation over time from inputs alone to matching these inputs to achieving and measuring service delivery in programmes. It also presents the assessment instruments that measure public financial management strength and weakness, with real-life illustrations of their application.
All of these instruments use examples from the countries that the author has worked in, demonstrating the conditions faced – mostly stable economic environments, but at times during periods of conflict and insecurity, as well as neighbouring geopolitical tension.These experiences have been gained from the author’s resident assignments and short-term visits (mainly multiple over many years) as a consultant for the IMF, World Bank, and bilateral development programmes as well as academic research.

Aesthetic Complications and Other Interesting Cases

Within the past twenty years, facial soft-tissue augmentation with dermal filler products have become extremely popular. These products are usually considered safe, having mostly mild and transient adverse effects. However, serious complications related to injection injuries to relevant anatomic structures, such as nerves and vessels, can occur even in the hands of experienced injectors.The author was one of the first doctors in the world to reverse these changes by establishing a hyaluronidase protocol in 2005. Since then, he has developed both the award-winning HELPIR and PLUS procedures to heal this damaged tissue. Complications associated with injections arise in most cases from injector inexperience or the use of unapproved products. In this book, the author reviews almost a hundred interesting aesthetic cases that have been referred to him from all over the world and he gives his methods of dealing with these complications. It also includes his methods of using botulinum toxin to treat blepharospasm, trigeminal neuralgia, migraine, and blushing. This text provides an invaluable source of information for any medical personnel looking for a career in aesthetic medicine.
