Singapore's Experience With Car Quotas: Issues And Policy Processes, Sock-Yong Phang, Wing-Keung Wong, Ngee-Choon Chia
Singapore's Experience With Car Quotas: Issues And Policy Processes, Sock-Yong Phang, Wing-Keung Wong, Ngee-Choon Chia
Research Collection School Of Economics
This paper examines the policy processes behind Singapore's car quotas. The policy, when filtered through the market mechanism, had a number of unintended consequences. The public's unhappiness with certain features and [`]loopholes' of the system resulted in many changes to the rules. The effects of recent measures to curb speculation on quota premiums are evaluated. Problems with Singapore's Weekend Car Scheme are also discussed. The lesson for transport policy makers elsewhere is that in attempting to deal with the road congestion problem through car ownership policies, an asset market for vehicles should be taken into account.

Inflation Forecasts: How Good Are They?, Dean D. Croushore
Inflation Forecasts: How Good Are They?, Dean D. Croushore
Economics Faculty Publications
Forecasts of inflation affect decision-making in many segments of the economy. But in the early 1980s, economists found that forecasts in surveys taken over the past 20 years systematically underpredicted inflation. As a result, many economists stopped paying attention to forecasts. However, they may have abandoned them too quickly. In this article, Dean Croushore takes a closer look at survey forecasts and, after considering some relevant factors, concludes that inflation forecasts may not be as bad as you think.

How Charitable Organizations Influence Federal Tax Policy: "Rent-Seeking" Charities Or Virtuous Politicians?, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
Tax-exempt charitable organizations exert considerable influence over Congress, the Department of the Treasury, and the Internal Revenue Service in matters dealing with exemption from federal income tax and the tax deductibility of charitable contributions. This Article uses both public choice and public interest analysis to help identify various features of the charitable community and explain how exempt organizations weild political influence despite the restrictions placed on their activities under the tax code. Arguing that the influence of charitable organizations over tax policy can be explained from either a public choice or public interest vantage point, the Article concluds that the …

A Reader Response To The Basic Needs Budget
A Reader Response To The Basic Needs Budget
Maine Policy Review
This commentary presents a thoughtful, personal illustration of the basic needs budget approach in response to an article by Stephanie Seguino published in Maine Policy Review in October 1995. The basic needs budget approach originally was designed to more accurately measure household economic status than the official poverty measure. The intent is to provide a series of budgets that describe the amount of income required by “self-sufficient” households to meet basic needs. As this reader’s analysis so aptly demonstrates, more generalized use of a basic needs budget approach would in fact require the development of a series of baseline budgets …
