The Determinants And Control Of Money Stock In Nigeria, E. O. Akinnifesi, Toyin Phillips

Economic and Financial Review

The paper is divided into five sections. Section I reviews Central Bank's monetary control measures as adopted since 1959 thus highlighting the successes and limitations of the Policy instruments. Section II presents a brief review of the controversy between the "monetarists" and the " fiscalists" so as to provide some theoretical underpinnings for this study, while Section III actually deals with the specifications of the behavioural functions. The empirical results are presented in Section IV and the last section summarises the findings and the conclusions thereupon.

Devaluation And Balance Of Payments In Ecowas Countries: A Study Of Nigeria's Exchange Rate Policy, C. C. Ozumba

Economic and Financial Review

The purpose of this paper is to review Nigeria's exchange rate policy as outlined above, and in doing so, one finds it compelling, and hopefully rewarding, to take a general look at the exchange rate policies in selected African countries, focusing particularly on the effects of devaluation on balance of payments. Accordingly, the paper first presents an analytical framework in which a monetary approach is considered most useful. The next section introduces a simplified monetary model. Following that, there is a discussion of statistical testing and results. The final section considers the implications for policy in Nigeria, appraising in some …

Attitudes Of Income Maintenance Line Workers In The State Of Oregon About The Causes And Amelioration Of Poverty, Gene Lamar Stutzman

Dissertations and Theses

It has been of some interest to the profession of social work that eligible persons underutilize or fail to use social services and benefits to which they are legally entitled. A number of different reasons have been cited in the social work literature and otherwise generally accepted within the ranks of the social work profession as possible or probable causes of underutilization or lack of use. The variety of reasons includes client lack of knowledge about programs, lack of motivation on the part of eligible clients to apply for benefits and services, client unawareness about legal recourse in securing services, …

Nonresident Enrollment Demand At Utah State University, William G. Workman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The determination of the level of student registration fees at colleges and universities in many cases appears to be made without adequate consideration given to probable enrollment responses and to the associated implications for tuition revenues. This study was aimed at reducing this information gap at Utah State University and focused specifically on past sensitivities of students from neighboring western states to changes in the nonresident charges at USU. The analytical framework employed in this investigation specified a causal link between the proportion of the college-attending populations from these states choosing to enroll at USU and comparative tuition levels.

Import Demand For Wheat: Japanese And Selected Eec Markets, Enayatollah Fakhrai

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The growing importance of trade internationally as well as for the United States (U.S.) spawned a body of literature concerning import demand, export supply, and trade balance. Most of the empirical work to date has employed estimates of commodity import demand functions derived from traditional linear and log-linear functional forms. These specifications of import demand impose separability restrictions on the consumer's choice between domestic and foreign goods, in addition to confining import demand elasticities to constant values. The policy recommendations made on the basis of the import demand elasticities derived from these traditional models may be misleading. In this study, …

Toward A Physical Theory Of Economic Activities, Tran Huu Dung

Economics Faculty Publications

A critical survey of all definitions of economics shows that, logically, a study of economic activities from a physical point of view must be considered an integral part of the discipline. One such study could reveal the nature of value-in-use often overlooked in economic theory.

It is posited that the process of use can be taken as the basic analytical building block of whose variations and combinations all economic activities can be shown to be composed. Each use can appear in one of three forms: pure use, consumption, and production (or productive use). The physical criterion on which this distinction …

An Analysis Of The Effects Of The Impacts Of Oil Shale Development On The Economy Of The Uintah Basin, David Zachary Kaufman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The development of oil shale resources will have a significant impact on the Uintah Basin in Utah. To analyze this impact, this study used a regionalized imput-output model. The input-output table for the State of Utah was revised to fit the Uintah Basin, using the RAS technique.

The scarcity of water in the Basin may cause a shift of water use from irrigated agriculture to oil shale. This reduction in agricultural production was estimated, using demand curves for water in agriculture and an intergen programming model which generated minimum water requirements for shale developments from 25,000 barrels per day to …

The Treatment Of Economic Issues In High School Government, Sociology, U.S. History And World History Texts, Robert S. Main

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

It is often argued that the declining support of free institutions which we have observed in our recent history is, in part, a result of economic illiteracy. That is, ignorance and misinformation about the workings of a voluntary exchange system and about the deleterious effects of governmental interference in that system lead to support of increased government intervention in the economy...

Reducing The Hidden Cost Of Big Government, Testimony Before The Joint Economic Committee Of The U.S. Congress Priorities In Tax Policy, Testimony Before The U.S. Senate Committee On Finance, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The largest and most rapid increase in government power over the private sector is not in the areas of taxation or government spending. Rather, it is the expansion of government regulation that impacts the everyday consumer, motorist, homeowner, worker, investor, taxpayer, and nation as a whole in distinct ways. It concludes by suggesting several initial reforms.

Government Regulation And Small Business, Testimony Prepared For The U.S. House Of Representatives Committee On Small Business, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

This testimony presents four major points regarding H.R. 7739 "Small Business Impact Statement Act of 1977" and H.R. 10632 "Small Business Regulatory Relief Act." First, there is concern that regulation hits smaller business disproportionately hard. Second, requiring a regulatory impact statement is a good one, as it helps government understand the effects of its actions. Third, the amount of paperwork required by specific impact statements is concerning. Finally, public policy would be better served by requiring a single comprehensive impact statement prior to the issuance of each new regulation.

The Taxpayer And Government Regulation, Robert Defina, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Government regulation of business continues to be one of the fastest growing areas of the American economy. The bulk of the growing regulatory budget is devoted to newer areas of social regulation, such as job safety, energy and the environment, and consumer safety and health. Unlike the traditional regulating commissions, the agencies engaging in this type of regulation often have jurisdiction over virtually all companies, including many sectors of the economy which are generally not thought of as being regulated.
