A Model Of Exchange Rate Pass-Through, Eric O'N. Fisher
A Model Of Exchange Rate Pass-Through, Eric O'N. Fisher
Economics
Exchange rate pass-through is the phenomenon whereby changes in the value of foreign exchange are reflected in changes in import prices. This paper presents a model in which firms are price setters who anticipate exchange rate changes. In equilibrium, firms' strategies incorporate expectations about the exchange rate consistently and are best responses to the strategies of all others in the world market. It is shown that exchange rate changes give rise to import price changes, but the degree of exchange rate pass-through depends upon domestic and foreign market structures and the exchange rate regime. In general, exchange rate pass-through is …

Improving Rural Minnesota Through Downsizing, Mark Threlkeld
Improving Rural Minnesota Through Downsizing, Mark Threlkeld
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
It is time to take a hard look at downsizing rural Minnesota. In business, downsizing is done to improve the financial health of a company by cutting back on expenses which can no longer be justified in light of changes in the marketplace. While the term may seem odd when applied to a state, it fits the opportunities and problems now facing rural Minnesota and could help the state make the transition through some difficult times.

The State, Law And Urban Poverty In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla
The State, Law And Urban Poverty In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla
Institute for Educational Development, East Africa
This paper is about the state, law and urban poverty in Tanzania. The paper examines how the state in Tanzania has been trying to solve the problem of urban poverty. The main argument is that the state's conception of urban poverty is not realistic. The urban poor are seen as responsible for their poverty. This is confirmed by the kind of coercive policies, legislation and other measures which have been instituted by the state in order to solve the problem. The paper argues that due to lack of a critical analysis of the causes of poverty, the state has been …

Can Small Firms Find And Defend Strategic Niches? A Test Of The Porter Hypothesis, Ralph M. Bradburd, David R. Ross
Can Small Firms Find And Defend Strategic Niches? A Test Of The Porter Hypothesis, Ralph M. Bradburd, David R. Ross
Economics Faculty Research and Scholarship
A number of studies have found a positive relation between market share and profitability. Michael Porter argues that this need not hold when small firms find strategic niches protected by mobility barriers. This paper examines that hypothesis by comparing the profitability of large and small lines of business when the activities of the two groups (proxied by the allocation of sales across submarkets) differ on average. We find that in heterogeneous product mix industries profits of large LBs are no longer significantly greater than profits of smaller rivals, except that market leaders maintain their advantage regardless of product mix.
An Economic Analysis Of Fertility, Market Participation And Marriage Behaviour In Recent Japan, David K. C. Lee, Chin Lee Gan
An Economic Analysis Of Fertility, Market Participation And Marriage Behaviour In Recent Japan, David K. C. Lee, Chin Lee Gan
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
This is the 1st attempt in modelling fertility, labor force participation and marriage rate using Japanese data. The authors use Butz and Ward's model and extend it to a simultaneous equation system as in the case of Winegarden. Although the estimates obtained by Full Information Maximum Likelihood and Three Stage Least Squares of the model are statistically significant, some of the signs of the estimates are not consistent to a priori predictions. The crux of the model is that an increase in the wages of men has an unambiguous positive effect on fertility, whereas an increase in wages of women …
Regional Differences In Labor Demand In The United States, Rudy Fichtenbaum, John P. Blair
Regional Differences In Labor Demand In The United States, Rudy Fichtenbaum, John P. Blair
Economics Faculty Publications
A possible explanation for the lack of attention to regional demand variation is that analysts have assumed implicitly that the elasticity at demand was roughly comparable among regions. However, this assumption does not seem tenable, the purpose of this study was to fill this important gap in the literature. The hypothesis was that there were significant differences in the elasticity of the demand for labor. Knowledge of differences in demand elasticity for labor can be extremely important to policy makers at both the state and federal levels. At the federal level, knowledge of differences in regional demand elasticities would allow …

The Southwest Corridor And Economic Development In Boston's Neighborhoods, Daryl Hellman, Andrew Sum, Joseph Warren
The Southwest Corridor And Economic Development In Boston's Neighborhoods, Daryl Hellman, Andrew Sum, Joseph Warren
New England Journal of Public Policy
The Southwest Corridor is a narrow strip of land running five miles from the South End of Boston through Roxbury and ending in Jamaica Plain. Twenty years ago, neighborhoods through which the Corridor passes experienced tremendous upheaval as space was cleared for the proposed construction of Interstate 95. The communities were able to stop the highway project, but not without a long and difficult struggle and the eventual support of then Governor Francis Sargent. Today, the Southwest Corridor Project involves a new MBTA Orange Line relocated along the Corridor, with nine new stations at a total cost of approximately $750 …

Manufacturing Matters: The Myth Of The Postindustrial Economy, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Faculty Scholarship
Messrs. Cohen and Zysman are political scientists. They are the resident gurus at BRIE (Berkeley Roundtable on International Economy). While they doubtless enjoy imported French cheese, especially with the Zinfandel from the local vineyards, they get the goose pimples watching movies on their Japanese VCRs. They are worried sick by America's alleged deindustrialization. This book is their effort to say why and to startle a complacement nation into an active policy to defend its industries.

Union Effects On Productivity, Profits, And Growth - Has The Long Run Arrived?, John T. Addison, Barry T. Hirsch
Union Effects On Productivity, Profits, And Growth - Has The Long Run Arrived?, John T. Addison, Barry T. Hirsch
Faculty Publications
This article interprets literature examining union effects on economic performance. Production function studies indicate small overall union impacts on productivity; positive effects, where they exist, appear to result from management response to decreased profit expectations and from a natural selection process. Lower profitability among unionized firms is well established; more interesting is the possibility that unions appropriate quasi rents deriving from long-lived tangible and intangible capital. the connection between unions, investment behavior, and productivity growth emerges as a particularly fruitful line of empirical inquiry, although it does not encourage a sanguine view of unionism's long-run impact.
Expenditures And Receipts In State And Local Government Finances: Reply, Michael L. Marlow, Neela Manage
Expenditures And Receipts In State And Local Government Finances: Reply, Michael L. Marlow, Neela Manage
Economics
Chowdhury (1988) adopts an alternative technique to test for causality between expenditures and receipts of state and loyal governments and claims that he obtains results that are different from those reported in our 1987 paper (Marlow and Manage, 1987). We disagree with many of his criticisms. In this reply, we argue that he misinterprets our results and policy implications and that his results are really not much different from ours; in fact, sometimes his results provide stronger support of our hypothesis.

A Consistency Model For India's Eight And Ninth Plans: With Analysis Of Basic Needs, Ranajit Dhar, M R Rao, Sanjay Goel
IIMB Management Review
India has been giving, as part of the various five year plans, an increasingly
high emphasis on poverty alleviation. However, success till now cannot be
considered as satisfactory. Nearly 40 crore people, representing half the population
of the country, are deprived of the basic necessities of life such as minimum
nutrition, clothing, housing, health and educational facilities etc. This number is the
same as the population we had at the time of independence in 1947.
The country is now engaged.in the preparation of the Eighth plan (1990-91
to 1994-95). It is essential that the problem of poverty alleviation is tackled …
The Role Of Unincorporated Enterprises In The Indian Economy, R Vaidyanathan
The Role Of Unincorporated Enterprises In The Indian Economy, R Vaidyanathan
IIMB Management Review
The objective of this paper is to highlight the role of unincorporated
enterprises in the national economy. Most of the studics regarding the nonagricultural
portion of our economy concentrate on the corporate or company sector.
Discussions on saving, taxation, capital formation, etc. also to a large extent pertain
to the corporate sector, consisting of companies which are incorporated under the
Company’s Act of 1956. But the other sector, viz., unincorporated enterprises has
not been studied thoroughly in respect of its role in the national economy. In our
context this should include a study of proprietorships, partnerships, HUFs,
Cooperatives, ie. organisations …
The Environmental, Economic, And Social Impacts Of Resort Development And Tourism On Native Hawaiians, Jon Matsuoka, Terry Kelly
The Environmental, Economic, And Social Impacts Of Resort Development And Tourism On Native Hawaiians, Jon Matsuoka, Terry Kelly
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Hawaii is currently undergoing major changes associated with land and industrial development. A shift in focus from agriculture to tourism has led to massive land development throughout the islands in order to accommodate this growing industry. The people affected most by these environmental changes are the indigenous people of Hawaii who exist in close harmony with the land and sea. As natural habitats are destroyed, fish and other food sources disappear. This has profound affects upon the behavior and practices of Hawaiian people who must look to other means for subsistence. Changes in the environment are inherently tied to changes …
Removing Impediments To Water Markets, B. Delworth Gardner
Removing Impediments To Water Markets, B. Delworth Gardner
Faculty Publications
A few years ago it was mostly economists, notably those of a libertarian stripe who were advocating voluntary market exchanges of water in the West. Now these exchanges, or transfers as they are sometimes referred to, are being unabashedly recommended by water users, politicians, bureaucrats, and even environmental organizations, who have come to see their value for achieving a more efficient water allocation. Water markets are an idea whose time has finally arrived.
