Costly Location In Hotelling Duopoly, Jeroen Hinloopen, Stephen Martin
Costly Location In Hotelling Duopoly, Jeroen Hinloopen, Stephen Martin
Jeroen Hinloopen
We introduce a cost of location into Hotelling’s (1929) spatial duopoly. We derive the general conditions on the cost-of-location function under which a pure strategy price-location Nash equilibrium exists. With linear transportation cost and a suitably specified cost of location that rises toward the center of the Hotelling line, symmetric equilibrium locations are in the outer quartiles of the line, ensuring the existence of pure strategy equilibrium prices. With quadratic transportation cost and a suitably specified cost of location that falls toward the center of the line, symmetric equilibrium locations range from the center to the end of the line.

Uniform Service, Uniform Productivity? Regional Efficiency Of The Imperial German Postal, Telegraph, And Telephone Service., Florian Ploeckl
Florian Ploeckl
Using the regional productivity of the Reichspost, the postal service of the German Empire, I investigate whether a public monopolist operates with uniform regional productivity. Using data envelopment analysis efficiency scores, we derive the relative productivity of the post,telegraph,andtelephonesectorsfrom1891to1908.Resultsshow a fairly stable system with substantial raw productivity differences between postal districts, and that the expansion of the service offset technological productivity increases for the mail service.

Akseli Saviranta
Cette présentation est basée sur l'étude intitulée « On the Political Economy of Economic Integration in North Africa and West Asia ». Comme son nom l'indique, l'étude en question cherche à offrir une évaluation complète des aspects politiques, économiques, et monétaires des efforts de l'intégration régionale en Afrique du Nord et Asie de l'Ouest, ainsi qu'une appréciation de la viabilité, faisabilité, et motivations de cette intégration en tenant compte des préceptes théoriques et de la littérature connexe, et comparativement à d'autres blocs économiques. Ce travail se compose de trois sections principales : les deux premières définissent les concepts de l'intégration …

This study seeks to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the political, economic, and monetary aspects of regional integration efforts in North Africa and West Asia, as well as an assessment of the viability, feasibility, and motivations of such integration in light of the theoretical precepts and related literature, and comparatively to other economic blocs. This work is divided into four main sections: The first two define the concepts of economic integration and identify the main characteristics of the countries present in the area, the third enumerates the integration attempts, and the fourth and last section discusses and analyses these efforts …
L’Investimento Nelle Reti Nga A Larga Banda: La 'Questione Settentrionale', Nicola Matteucci
L’Investimento Nelle Reti Nga A Larga Banda: La 'Questione Settentrionale', Nicola Matteucci
Nicola Matteucci
Current developments of DAE (digital agenda for Europe) emphasize investments in NGA broadband networks as a main step to promote public and private eServices and transform public administrations. We focus on Northern Italy, where fast diffusion of NGAN is currently perceived as a fundamental ingredient for increasing competitiveness and curb the economy’s decline. In particular, this work investigates the widespread market failures characterizing Italian NGAN roll-out, the possible solutions and the technical and financial feasibility of the proposed plans – both private and public. Together, it connects the issue of NGAN financing with the current debate on the efficient and …
La Política Comercial Del Paraguay En El Proceso De Integración En El Mercosur Desvíos Del Aec Y Costos De La Protección, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz, Alvaro Ons
La Política Comercial Del Paraguay En El Proceso De Integración En El Mercosur Desvíos Del Aec Y Costos De La Protección, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz, Alvaro Ons
Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
El ingreso de Paraguay al Mercosur marcó un hito en la historia de su política exterior. Luego de varias décadas de priorización de los temas políticos en la agenda internacional, el Mercosur representaba una oportunidad para que el país alcance un mayor desarrollo. Sin embargo, Paraguay encaró la integración al bloque manteniendo las mismas instituciones comerciales de la dictadura (1954-1989). La evidencia analizada en el presente trabajo revela que uno de los pilares de ese modelo comercial, el comercio de triangulación, filtró la agenda del Mercosur mediante la vigencia de las listas de excepción al Arancel Externo Común. Este mecanismo …

The Effect Of A Collective Exchange Rate Adjustment On East Asian Exports, Mizanur Rahman, Kaliappa P. Kalirajan

This paper estimates long-run effects of a collective exchange rate adjustment on multilateral exports from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The findings show that a 1 percent generalized appreciation of all East Asian exchange rates would reduce East Asian exports by about 3 per cent.
Regímenes Especiales De Importación En El Paraguay, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
Regímenes Especiales De Importación En El Paraguay, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
La aplicación de los Regímenes Especiales de Importación no armonizados, las listas de excepción al AEC y los acuerdos comerciales de preferencias arancelarias afectan la libre circulación de mercancías en el MERCOSUR e impiden avanzar hacia la consolidación institucional de la Unión Aduanera. Sin embargo, el hecho de que estos mecanismos sigan teniendo un perfil activo en propósitos de desarrollo productivo y de fomento a las exportaciones en cada uno de los países, revela las preferencias de los miembros por seguir manejando con cierta autonomía su propia Política Comercial Externa. El caso de Paraguay es el más significativo en términos …
Islam And The Science Of Economics, Syed Farid Alatas
Islam And The Science Of Economics, Syed Farid Alatas
farid alatas
Economists have generally maintained a rigorous separation between positive and normative economics. In the Muslim world, however, concerted attempts have been made to relate moral conduct to economic institutions and practices. Demands for an alternative theory and practice of development to both modernization and Marxist theories had led to the rise of Islamic economics. But while Islamic economic thinking presents an ideal of development that is based on an Islamic philosophy of life, it is beset by a number of problems which make it difficult to be considered as an alternative to modernist discourse as far as empirical theory is …
Strategic Planning Of Seaport Development In A Global Economy: Observations Of An Executive Port Director, Herman L. Boschken
Strategic Planning Of Seaport Development In A Global Economy: Observations Of An Executive Port Director, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Seaport management is central both to the use of coastal resources and to the needs of a global economy. As a major point of supply-chain activity along the coast and as a source of pollution, ports need to be administered strategically to provide the greatest benefit according to economic and environmental demands. This article is an annotated conversation that provides a practitioner's insight into the management of change along the coastal zone. To address the problem, we probe organization theory for new insight and attempt to apply concepts to practice.
Interorganizational Considerations In Coastal Management: The 1976 California Legislative Experience, Herman L. Boschken
Interorganizational Considerations In Coastal Management: The 1976 California Legislative Experience, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Among coastal management programs, most states have found the question of appropriate administrative structure difficult to cope with. The dilemma of decision trade-offs caused by the dual governmental needs of "efficiency" and "representation" has led to some alternative patterns of administration. For complex issues that transcend local boundaries, the choice between trade-offs means adopting either (a) some form of consolidated bureaucracy or (b) some system of concurrent jurisdictions. Both alternatives have their inherent benefits and disadvantages but, considering the degree of environmental complexity and array of competing interests involved in coastal resource use, the most appropriate administrative form would seem …
