The Role Of Agro-Industries In Promoting A Food Culture In Nigeria, M. O. Ojo
The Role Of Agro-Industries In Promoting A Food Culture In Nigeria, M. O. Ojo
Economic and Financial Review
The paper discusses in a general way the role of agro-industries in the promotion of a Nigerian food culture. It observes that the agro-industrial and trade policies pursued in the 1970s and early 1980s contributed immensely to a food habit characterised l1y preference for foreign and imported foods. Agro-industries in the present economic environment can contribute positively to the development of a Nigerian food culture through corporate promotions, investments in the production of local foodstuffs and funding of relevant research and development. The paper concludes that agro-industries should be supported in the development of an indigenous food culture by fostering …

Infusion Of Private Sector Capital In Rural Infrastructure Building In Lagos State, E. D. Balogun
Economic and Financial Review
This paper recognizes the constraints imposed l7y the weak rural infrastructure base in Lagos State given the swampy/riverine nature of her landscape and notes the dim prospects for overcoming them through public investments alone. Although the study recognizes that rural infrastucture is a public good, several cases are cited to show that private sector initiatives in the provision of rural infrastructural facilites and services can be successful. Among the financing mechanisms for infusing private sector capital into rural infrastructure building include rural development levies, strengthening of rural financial markets and special aids/grants from private and non-governmental agencies. For· these initiatives …

Industrial Development Coordinating Committee (Idcc) And Foreign Private Investment (Fpi) In Nigeria, J. A. Aremu
Economic and Financial Review
Policies that attract foreign private investment (FPI) have become the focus of considerable attention in many developing countries particularly since the beginning of the debt crisis in the 1980s. As part of Nigeria's strategy to stimulate foreign investment, the Federal Government of Nigeria established the Industrial Devel,opment Coordinating Committee (IDCC) in 1988 as a one-stop agency for facilitating andattractingforeign investment inflow. A study was initiated by the Research Department to assess the role of IDCC so far in stimulating the desi,:ed level of foreign investment in Nigeria. The study shows that IDCChasbeenrelativelyineffectiveasjudgedbytheforeigncapitalinflowwhichresultedfromtheIDCC's approved enterprises. The expected foreign capital inflow stood …

Foreign Private Investment In Nigeria In 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn
Economic and Financial Review
Although the report of the 1989 survey showed that for the first time ever, a net outflow was recorded by the foreign private enterprises in Nigeria, the development was a welcome one. The easier access to foreign . exchange which led to a net capital outflow of N439.4 million was made possible through the creation of new outlets for the purchase of foreign exchange introduced in 1989. The Bureau de Change which took off in mid -1989 was put in place by the federal government to compete with the informal parallel market and thus expand the foreign exchange market. Also, …

Bautista, R.M. "Agricultural Growth As A Development Strategy." Economic Impact No. 66 Pp. 24-28 1989, L. I. Odey
Economic and Financial Review
In this paper, the author attempts a further exposition on the on-going debate on the feasibility of adoption of an export-led strategy of economic development which considers" Agriculture- first" as the engine of growth. The au~or strongly supports an agricultural-based development strategy because it is capable of generating mass employment, it is anti-poverty as well as being an hl.come redistribution programme. This strategy, he reasons, should be particularly appealing to countries with a heavy debt service burden since it is a foreign-exchange conserving programme given the lowerimporrrequirements of agricultural growth and itslinka,geeffectscompared with those of industry-led import substitution strategy.

Instrumental Valuation Indicators For Natural Resources And Ecosystems, F. Gregory Hayden
Department of Economics: Faculty Publications
Beldon Daniels, in the early draft of his latest book, which has a working title of Rediscovering America, 1992, has written that there have been four major eras in human history. The fourth, into which we are now evolving, according to Daniels, is the age of intelligence. Although the intelligence activity of the modern age both uses and directs the development of large quantities of data, information, and knowledge; a measurement concept, or unit for valuation has yet to be developed. The industrial age from which we are evolving, consistent with the technology of that era, has used industrial …

The Evolution Of Financial Practices And Financial Structures Among American Manufacturers, 1875-1905: Case Studies Of The Sugar Refining And Meat Packing Industries, William Michael Doyle
Doctoral Dissertations
Two salient features of late nineteenth century American economic development were the appearance of a multitude of large, horizontally or vertically integrated manufacturing corporations, and the emergence of a sophisticated market for industrial securities. According to most economist and economic historians, both of these developments can be attributed primarily to increased deficit financing requirements among late nineteenth century American manufacturers. This was presumed to have resulted largely from technological innovations in manufacturing that increased both total capital requirements and the minimum size of the required initial investment in many industries. These developments were thought to have necessitated the creation and …

Exchange Rate And Income Effects On South Korean Exports: The Us Case, Heather M. O'Neill, William Ross
Exchange Rate And Income Effects On South Korean Exports: The Us Case, Heather M. O'Neill, William Ross
Business and Economics Faculty Publications
This paper analyzes econometrically the effects of direct and cross exchange rates as well as US income and Korean supply developments on the volume of Korean exports to the US. The results suggest that US demand has been the most important factor in the growth of Korean exports to the US in recent years. However, direct exchange rate effects are also important; the estimates suggest that for 1989-90, a yearly 10% real appreciation of the won against the dollar would have lowered export volume by about 10% per year relative to a baseline case. Cross exchange rate effects run counter …
Inventory Accounting And Profit Evaluation, Riccardo Fiorito
Inventory Accounting And Profit Evaluation, Riccardo Fiorito
riccardo fiorito
In an inventory model with exogenous sales, FIFO and LIFO criteria are formalized and compared with national account estimates for intermediate and finished good products. The model is simulated using manufacturing input and output prices for Italy (1970-88). LIFO and NIPA estimates of inventory are usually close and also imply reliable measures of output levels and changes which can be shown by solving the quantity model. Conversely, FIFO exhibits larger profits and leads in real terms to unsatisfactory estimates of output changes.

Government needs to invest more in an expanding economy. This can be done by 1) devoting more of the budget to civilian R & D, education, and infrastructure; 2) restoring growth incentives such as an investment tax credit; 3) eliminating double taxation of dividends; 4) providing economic rationality to expanding government regulation; and 5) dealing with the inadequate education of a large portion of the labor force.

Japan Looks At An Uncertain China: The Role Of Japan's Aid To China, Yixin Yang
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
This thesis discusses the role the Japanese aid has played in accommodating the structural change of Sino-Japanese economic relations and in dealing with the economic and political crisis that has jeopardized their bilateral relations and Japan's own national interest. Japan's early resumption of economic aid to China after Tiananmen reflects how aid philosophy differs from that of most of the other Western aid donors. The conclusions are that Japan's large loan to China has played a vital role in maintaining and strengthening Sino-Japanese economic relations, that the aid has made the interdependent relations between the two countries an asymmetric one, …

Democracy And Capitalism: The Issue Joined From Within, Christopher E. Bischoff
Democracy And Capitalism: The Issue Joined From Within, Christopher E. Bischoff
Masters Theses
This study utilizes contemporary and classical literature to illuminate the complexities of Western democracy. Of specific focus is American democracy and the effects that capitalism has had upon democracy in America. The achievement of democracy on the scale of the modern nation-state appears problematic even without the adversarial burdens posed by a capitalist economic consort. It emerges that American democracy is particularly compromised by its roots in liberal tradition. Forced by nature to depend upon the allocative abilities of its economic consort, democracy must endure a relationship that dramatically undermines its ideological orientation. Although American democracy is not yet in …
The Role Of Federal Taxation In The Supply Of Municipal Bonds: Evidence From Municipal Governments, Gilbert E. Metcalf
The Role Of Federal Taxation In The Supply Of Municipal Bonds: Evidence From Municipal Governments, Gilbert E. Metcalf
Gilbert E. Metcalf
This paper considers ways in which federal tax policy affects municipal asset and debt holdings. The tax treatment of municipal bonds and income creates an arbitrage opportunity for communities to issue tax-exempt debt and invest in financial assets. The author presents evidence that suggests the rules in effect prior to 1986 to prevent this activity were not effective. He then develops and estimates a model of municipal bond supply. The author finds a semielasticity of 1.23 of long-term debt with respect to the spread between the after-tax rate of return and the municipal borrowing rate.

Naked Exclusion, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer, John Wiley
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Ordinarily, a monopoly cannot increase its profits by asking customers to sign agreements not to deal with potential competitors. If, however, there are 100 customers and the minimum efficient scale requires serving 15, the monopoly need only lock up 86 customers to forestall entry. If each customer believes that the others will sign, each also believes that no rival seller will enter. Hence, an individual customer loses nothing by signing the exclusionary agreement and will indeed sign. Thus, naked exclusion can be profitable.

"The New England Governor's Conference will hold a meeting in Hartford on December 6 to address regional economic issues that are common to the six states located in the northeast corner of the country. During that same week, the towns of Warren and Bristol in Rhode Island will hold public sentiment for the sharing of schools in the two towns. As disparate as these two meetings appear to be, there is a commonality of purpose that marks both: regionalism."
