The Assault On The Global Economy, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Assault On The Global Economy, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The global economy is under assault by a strange alliance of radical groups and several mainstream environmental organizations. The outfits from the far left are long-term opponents of the capitalist system, both at home and abroad, so their opposition to trade between nations is neither new nor newsworthy. It is surprising, however, that organizations like the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth have joined this effort to oppose the modern economy. This paper attempts to respond to these views. Isolationist policies are a foolhardy, futile pursuit in today's interconnected, globalized economy.

The Public And The Congress Need To Know More About Government Regulation, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Public And The Congress Need To Know More About Government Regulation, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The public and Congress both need to know more about the costs and benefits of government regulation. This testimony before the Senate Committee on Government affairs in April 1999 addresses the proposed S.59 bill, the Regulatory Right-to-Know Act of 1999, and the proposals for a Congressional Office of Regulatory Analysis. S.59 accomplishes the desirable objective of raising the level of public regulatory understanding in a straightforward and nonpartisan manner: providing consistent regulatory data. Likewise, a new Office of Regulatory Analysis would give Congress an independent source of information - provided its charter were broad enough for the task.

The Political Economy Of Reforms: A Case Study Of Pakistan, Ishrat Husain
The Political Economy Of Reforms: A Case Study Of Pakistan, Ishrat Husain
Faculty Research - Books
The wholesale views of the relative success or failure of adjustment policies or its causes are challenged by a number of empirical studies. These studies demonstrate that there is considerable variation in the economic results of adjustment programmes, and this variation is explicable in terms of the context. quality, and sustained application of adjustment policies. This lecture focuses on the political economy aspects of the sustainability of economic reforms by introducing three basic hypotheses, and testing them with the Pakistani evidence. According to these hypotheses, variation in the result of economic policy reforms depends on: (i) a set of initial …
When Is Transition Over?, Annette N. Brown Editor
When Is Transition Over?, Annette N. Brown Editor
Upjohn Press
The transition process in which a country moves from a planned economy to a market economy offers a unique opportunity for economists and policymakers to observe and understand the effects of major institutional, legal, and political changes on economic systems. But one feature of the process that has not been considered until now is when is the process over? When has a transition progressed far enough to ensure that a market system will survive and mature? Are there institutional, economic, and political standards that countries reach that measure the level of transition attained or, indeed, show that they have completed …

Skill-Biased Technological Change: Evidence From A Firm-Level Survey, Donald S. Siegel
Skill-Biased Technological Change: Evidence From A Firm-Level Survey, Donald S. Siegel
Upjohn Press
Siegel provides evidence that technology adoption is associated with downsizing, skill upgrading, greater employee empowerment, and a widening wage gap. Unlike previous studies that use industry-level data, Siegel collected firm-level data on technology usage and labor composition which enable him to link the magnitude of labor market outcomes for six classes of workers to the types of technologies implemented.
