Government Recurrent Expenditure And Economic Growth In Less Developed Countries, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

There is not much support in less developed countries for the hypothesis that recurrent government expenditure is seen as consumption and hence more dispensable than capital expenditure. There is little evidence of a secular decline in recurrent expenditure for a group of 54 less developed countries over the period 1965–1973, nor is there strong evidence of greater instability in recurrent expenditure.

Fiscal Incentives And Direct Foreign Investment In Less Developed Countries, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

This study found no support for the belief by the governments of most less developed countries (LDCs) that the provision of fiscal incentives is necessary to attract direct foreign investment and that the greater the generosity of these incentive programmes the greater would be the level of such investment. What mattered were the presence of natural resources and a proven record of economic performance. The provision of incentives could not compensate for the absence of either of these two factors.

Another Look At Growth And Defense In Less Developed Countries, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

Using an estimating equation that was devised systematically within an explicit conceptual framework, it shows that defence spending was detrimental to economic growth. Finds regional differences in that the adverse effects were marked in Africa and the Western hemisphere, but absent in Asia, the Middle East, and Southern Europe.

The Generalized Theory Of Transfers And Welfare: Bilateral Transfers In A Multilateral World, Jagdish N. Bhagwati, Richard A. Brecher, Tatsuo Hatta

Faculty Scholarship

Paul Samuelson's (1952, 1954) classic papers on the transfer problem addressed two separate analytical issues: the "positive" effect of a transfer on the terms of trade; and the welfare effect of the transfer on the donor and the recipient.

Since then, a considerable body of literature has grown up on the positive analysis. While Samuelson (1954) himself had extended the 2 X 2 X 2 free trade analysis to allow for tariffs and transport costs, subsequent writers have analyzed other extensions of the model: for example, to allow for nontraded goods as with leisure in Samuelson (1971); or general nontraded …

Ocs Leasing And Auctions: Incentives And The Performance Of Alternative Bidding Institutions, James W. Cox, R. Mark Isaac, Vernon L. Smith

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

In Watt v. Energy Action Educational Foundation, the Supreme Court rebutted a challenge to the federal government's mix of "nontraditional" outer continental shelflease-auction mechanisms authorized under the 1978 OCS Amendments. The issues of this case addressed here include: the economic intent of the congressional language; incentive properties of various of the authorized auction processes; methodological shortcomings inherent in the implicit congressional directive for field experimentation; and, the usefulness of laboratory experimental economics in answering relevant auction-policy questions. The discussion of experimental economics includes evidence already gained from laboratory experiments relating to hypotheses about auction-market performance

Inflation And Taxable Capacity: Some Recent Evidence, Barbara Allison Haney-Powell

Masters Theses

Colin Clark's theory of inflation has had a profound effect on present-day economic theory concerning taxation policy. While his belief that inflation occurred when all tax revenues exceeded 25 percent of national income was rejected by his contemporaries in the 1940's, supply-side economists incorporate Clark's theory into their proposals for curing the unemployment and inflation of the 1970's and 1980's. These proposals gained popular support and resulted in the election of President Ronald Reagan who implemented such proposals. The purpose of this study is to determine the veracity of Clark's theory.

Clark's theory was tested in this study with the …

Towards The Holocaust: The Social And Economic Collapse Of The Weimar Republic, Michael N. Dobkowski, Isidor Wallimann

Books

The social system of Weimar Germany has always been controversial. From the start 1Weimar society was characterized by a peculiar fluidity: between 1913 and 1933, the German Reich, commonly referred to as the Weimar Republic, was a virtual laboratory of sociocultural experimentation. In the streets of German towns and cities, political armies competed for followers--a process punctuated by assassinations and advertised by street battles embroiling monarchists, imperial militarists, nihilistic war veterans, Communists, Socialists, anarchists, and National Socialists. Parliamentary activity involved about twenty-five political parties whose shifting alliances produced twenty governmental cabinets with an average lifespan of less than nine months.

Prepared by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico, the study tracks the state's comparative regional metrics, demonstrating that while New Mexico’s high-tech employment grows faster than the national average, it continues to lag behind neighboring states—thereby requiring targeted policy initiatives, technology spinoffs from national laboratories, and focused educational investments to remain competitive.

Vertical Linkages And Multinational Enterprises In Developing Countries, Linda Y. C. Lim, Eng Fong Pang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Many studies have concluded that multinational firms do not create significant technical and other vertical linkages in developing host countries. This case study of three multinational firms in the export-oriented electronics industry in Singapore shows that under certain conditions multinational firms can lead in creating local vertical linkages. It suggests that restrictive government policies to increase local purchases may not be necessary, effective or desirable in promoting local linkages by export-oriented multinational firms that respond primarily to international market conditions. The Singapore experience poinst to the importance of a healthy investment climate and rapid economic growth in encouraging multinational firms …

Nigeria And Opec: To Be Or Not To Be?, G. O. Nwankwo

Economic and Financial Review

According to the Economist, 'Oil multiplied Nigeria's exports by a factor of 10 in the 1970s, and its imports by a factor of 11. This fuelled Nigeria's honourable ambitions to emerge as the greatest power in Africa. The country's rulers are bitterly disappointed by the way the oil glut has partially devalued this great natural resource. So are some exporters to it. '1 In the wake of this unhappy state of affairs, Nigeria has taken steps to redress the situation. Some people, however, argue that the most effective action Nigeria should take is to lower the price of her oil …
