The History And Status Of Children's Allowances: Policy Background For Children's Savings Accounts, Jami C. Curley, Michael Sherraden

Center for Social Development Research

Children’s allowances, a common feature of twentieth century welfare states, are cash grants to families with children.

This report traces the history of children’s allowances in other nations to see what can be learned about child support policies.


The U.S. Trade Deficit: A Misleading Economic Indicator, Murray L. Weidenbaum Jun 1998

The U.S. Trade Deficit: A Misleading Economic Indicator, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The U.S. trade deficit is the most misleading indicator of economic performance in our statistical tool kit. More often than not, bad news for the economy is good news for the trade deficit, and vice versa. In 1992, the economy was in recession and our trade deficit came down. One year later, the opposite was true. When we look beyond the short-run gyrations of the trade balance and the business cycle, more fundamental, longer-run problems do involve the trade deficit. Indeed, it is a symptom of a more basic economic imbalance.

New World Order And A New U.S. Policy Toward China, James C. Hsiung

Here, though, I would like to note that rationale of the new China policy is in keeping with the requirements of the new world order, to meet the challenge posed by the three attributes identified …


Recasting The Role Of Government To Promote Economic Prosperity, Murray L. Weidenbaum Apr 1998

Recasting The Role Of Government To Promote Economic Prosperity, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

No government in the world has an agency with the mission of depressing the economy or accelerating the rate of inflation. Yet, many government actions - especially taxation, government spending, and regulation - have those undesirable effects. The paper focuses on government regulation of business, where the costs are especially insidious, and what can be done to reform this regulation. Government decision-makers often forget the fundamental fact that individuals and private organizations have tremendous capability to deal with the shortcomings of a modern economy on their own. Relying more heavily on private initiative moves us closer to a free society …
