Reaganomics And The Welfare State, Mimi Abramovitz, Tom Hopkins

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Supply-side tax and spending policies have intensified poverty, unemployment and inequality, especially for women, minorities and organized labor. At the same time Reaganomics is shrinking and weakening the welfare state. To better understand and resist this conservative assault it is necessary to demystify the "economics" and "politics" of supply-side doctrine. This paper (a) defines the basic assumptions of supply-side economics; (b) identifies some of its problems and contradictions; (c) discusses its impact on the welfare state; and (d) analyzes it as part of a broader plan for coping with the current economic crisis.

Entry And Performance In Financial Markets, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

One determinant of market performance is the ability of new firms to enter markets. It is generally argued that the fewer the restrictions on entry, ceteris paribus, the more competitive a market will tend to be. Entry in the commercial banking market is restricted on at least two levels. One is that new entrants are required to obtain charters from either the Comptoller of the Currency or the state banking authority. The other is that the ability of a bank to branch is constrained by the branching laws of the state. Before one may recommend solutions to problems of …

The Consumer Movement In The United States, Kathleen Browne Ittig

Bridgewater Review

What ever happened to the consumer movement in the United States? In stark contrast to the high visibility and widespread support enjoyed by the consumer movement during the last two decades, overt concern for consumer protection seems to have disappeared since the election of President Ronald Reagan. To answer this question it is necessary first to identify the market conditions that currently dominate the U. S. economy and second to review the history of the consumer movement as it has evolved in this country during the last eighty years.

Layoffs, Wages And Unemployment Insurance, Kenneth Burdett, Bryce Hool

Research Collection School Of Economics

The influence of unemployment insurance on wage and layoff behavior is analyzed in the context of optimal labor contracts. Responses of contract terms to changes in economic parameters are shown to depend in general on the nature of the initial contract, the degree of workers' risk aversion, and the resolution of bargaining conflict. Layoffs are not necessarily reduced by an increase in experience rating or a reduction in the UI benefit. Product demand fluctuations tend to induce procyclical employment fluctuations but not wage fluctuation. An implication of optimal contracts with private insurance suggests a reason for government intervention in UI …

Presidential Popularity And Macroeconomic Performance: Are Voters Really So Naive?, Henry W. Chappell Jr.

Faculty Publications

The article focuses on the relationships between the macroeconomic performance of political administration and their popularity or vote getting ability. All of the studies that has been performed to analyze the relationships agree that votes and popularity can be explained well by models which suppose that voters judge policy makers on the basis of retrospective evaluation of past macroeconomic outcomes. While conventional popularity functions assume that voters simply punish inflation and reward output or low unemployment, voters who understand the long and short run relationships noted above would evaluate policymakers differently. Inflation in a given period is largely determined by …
