They deserve not only credit, but also continuing encouragement. For what came out of the meeting in Punta del Este in September of 1986 was the most comprehensive and ambitious negotiating agenda ever put before the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

Aids And New England Hospitals, Jesse Green, Neil Wintfeld, Madeleine Singer, Kevin Schulman Jan 1988

Aids And New England Hospitals, Jesse Green, Neil Wintfeld, Madeleine Singer, Kevin Schulman

New England Journal of Public Policy

The Centers for Disease Control projects that nine thousand persons with AIDS will be alive in New England in 1991, representing a sevenfold increase from 1986. Our analysis indicates that more than 2 percent of medical/surgical beds in New England will be used for AIDS care by 1991, representing 766 fully occupied hospital beds. The direct cost of providing hospital care to New England's AIDS patients is projected to be $195.2 million in 1991, reflecting 3 percent of all hospital inpatient costs in the region.

AIDS treatment is very unevenly distributed among hospitals in New England. Just twenty hospitals (8 …

Medical Care Of Aids In New England: Costs And Implications, Stewart J. Landers, George R. Seage Iii Jan 1988

Medical Care Of Aids In New England: Costs And Implications, Stewart J. Landers, George R. Seage Iii

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article presents an overview of cost issues related to AIDS. Data from the Massachusetts Cost of AIDS Study are combined with epidemiological projections to estimate the cost of treating people diagnosed with AIDS in New England. Aggregate inpatient, ambulatory, and home care costs are estimated to be $96.9 million and $524.8 million through 1987 and 1991, respectively. These estimates represent a relatively small percentage of total health care costs for all illnesses over the same time period.

The authors find that the cost of treating AIDS does not affect all health care providers uniformly and therefore argue that appropriate …

A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi

Economic and Financial Review

The purpose of the paper was to throw more light on the Structural Adjustment Programme currently under implementation in Nigeria through a detailed review and appraisal of its policy framework . This was considered to be desirable in view of recent public criticisms many of which appeared not to be well informed. In a more balanced approach, the paper reviewed the benefits and costs of the Programme. Among the benefits highlighted were the removal of the overvaluation of the naira exchange rate, the boost to agricultural exports, greater industrial capacity utilization and the improved international confidence in the Nigerian economy. …


Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe Dec 1987

Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe

Economic and Financial Review

The paper reviews the current economic policy framework against the background of the economic policy regime up to 1985 and observes that the past experience justifies the current experiment with private markets as the principal mechanism for allocating resources. The paper argues that the visible hand of the government does have a supportive role, a lbeit a different one from the past. The new approach is considered as having great potential although ultimate success is as yet beset by various uncertainties as may be expected from any experiment.

Productivity Through People : The Hewlett-Packard Way, Charles Serwedes Sep 1987

Productivity Through People : The Hewlett-Packard Way, Charles Serwedes

Theses

Petri nets have become a powerful tool for modeling and analyzing asynchronous concurrent systems. In this thesis I apply Petri nets for analyzing and modeling a flexible manufacturing workstation (FMS). A manufacturing workstation is modeled by using Colored- Timed Petri nets, with the consideration of tool handling, raw materials, quality checking and the reuse of reworkable scraps. A simulation program for a simplified Petri net model of manufacturing workstation is described and the production throughput is computed.


Evolution Of Time Constructs And Their Impact On Socioeconomic Planning, F. Gregory Hayden Sep 1987

Evolution Of Time Constructs And Their Impact On Socioeconomic Planning, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

The primary focus of the institutionalist perspective is instrumentalist problem solving. Problems are delivered by the institutional process and solved by altering the social structure. To solve socioeconomic problems, planning is necessary. Important to any planning is the question of when actions and events are to occur. To effect new social structures, actions and events must be properly sequenced. An analytical core of sequencing events is time analysis. John R. Commons stated that, in addition to knowing what to do, the economist who has the power and responsibility for planning "must know what, when, how much and how far to …

Economy Review And Outlook_September 1987, Brian Mcdonald

BBER Publications

This report analyzes New Mexico’s economic performance from the 1950s through the mid‑1980s, highlighting the state’s dependence on federal spending and extractive industries. It describes the boom of the 1970s, the bust of the early 1980s, and the uneven recovery of the mid‑1980s, with strong growth in urban areas but severe decline in rural mining regions. Forecasts for 1987–1990 anticipate modest growth below national averages.
