A Bipartisan Approach To Economic Policy, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Government needs to invest more in an expanding economy. This can be done by 1) devoting more of the budget to civilian R & D, education, and infrastructure; 2) restoring growth incentives such as an investment tax credit; 3) eliminating double taxation of dividends; 4) providing economic rationality to expanding government regulation; and 5) dealing with the inadequate education of a large portion of the labor force.

Japan Looks At An Uncertain China: The Role Of Japan's Aid To China, Yixin Yang

Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations

This thesis discusses the role the Japanese aid has played in accommodating the structural change of Sino-Japanese economic relations and in dealing with the economic and political crisis that has jeopardized their bilateral relations and Japan's own national interest. Japan's early resumption of economic aid to China after Tiananmen reflects how aid philosophy differs from that of most of the other Western aid donors. The conclusions are that Japan's large loan to China has played a vital role in maintaining and strengthening Sino-Japanese economic relations, that the aid has made the interdependent relations between the two countries an asymmetric one, …

Comparative Advantage And The Equilibrium Rate Of Unemployment, Hian Teck Hoon

Research Collection School Of Economics

This paper develops a two-country Heckscher-Ohlin model with endogenous equilibrium involuntary unemployment to examine the question: What is the effect of free trade on the equilibrium rates of unemployment in the labor abundant and labor-scarce countries? It is shown that free trade leads to a decline in the equilibrium rate of unemployment in the labor-abundant country but to a rise in unemployment in the labor-scarce country.

The Rising Presence Of Government In The Workplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Debates over government regulation are often erroneously framed as a battle between business and the public interest. For government officials, however, regulation is an easy way to advance policy agendas without spending much federal money. But every time the government imposes new standards on the workplace or increases employee benefits, it imposes a more expensive method of production on businesses. Politicians are able to simultaneously vote for the better treatment of employees and criticize "greedy" companies. Consumers, meanwhile, suffer by paying for these hidden taxes.

Smuggling And Parallel Markets For Exports, Scott Fausti

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This paper proposes a model of smuggling consistent with the coexistence of firms involved in strictly legal trade with firms involved in smuggling. A framework is presented in which a firm's degree of risk aversion and the level of government enforcement are the determining factors in the decision of the firm to smuggle or not to smuggle. The model demonstrates that smuggling must be welfare enhancing or all smuggling activity will end. This paper also provides a theoretical analysis of the effect enforcement has on smuggling and welfare. Increased enforcement is shown to have a negative effect on welfare. Government …

Centralization And Government Competition, David Joulfaian, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

This paper examines the relationship between government size and fiscal centralization with specific focus on the separate influences of centralism and fragmentation on the size of public sector in the United States. The empirical findings at the national level provide support to the hypothesis that fiscal decentralization leads to a smaller government. The findings at the state and local levels, however, show no empirical relationship between government size and the degree of centralization.

Commentary On Irving Fisher, James Tobin

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Schumpeter regarded “The Nature of Capital and Income” as one of the three of Fisher’s contributions to general theory generally recognized, at the time Schumpeter was writing, as “of first-class importance and originality.” The other two were Fisher’s “Mathematical Investigations” (1982) and his statistical method for measuring the marginal utility of income (1972). Nature is the bridge, both in sequence and in logic, between the other two great works, the timeless general equilibrium theory of the 1892 dissertation and the extension of that theory to intertemporal choices in production and consumption in the theory of interest.

International Currency Regimes, Capital Mobility, And Macroeconomic Policy, James Tobin

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The structure of the international monetary system is once again a topic of great interest and controversy — among economists, business managers, financiers, and government leaders. Many members of all these groups are acutely dissatisfied with the floating exchange rate regime that succeeded the Bretton Woods system two decades ago. Within the European Community, the Exchange Rate Mechanism has re-established a regime of “adjustable pets.” After 1992 financial markets and institutions will cover the entire Community. The further step of issuing a common European currency is under serious consideration, and beyond that the more drastic step of replacing national currencies …

The Tail Behavior Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates Of Cointegrating Coefficients In Error Correction Models, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper derives exact finite sample distributions of maximum likelihood estimators of the cointegrating coefficients in error correction models. The distributions are derived for the leading case where the variables in the system are independent random walks. But important aspects of the theory, in particular the tail behavior of the distributions, continue to apply when the system is cointegrated. The reduced rank regression estimator is shown to have a distribution with Cauchy-like tails and no finite moments of integer order. The maximum likelihood estimator of the coefficients in the triangular system representation has matrix t -distribution tails with finite integer …

Vector Autoregression And Causality: A Theoretical Overview And Simulation Study, Hiro Y. Toda, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper provides a theoretical overview of Wald tests for Granger causality in levels vector autoregressions (VAR’s) and Johansen-type error correction models (ECM’s). for VAR models the results for inference are not encouraging. The limit theory typically involves nonstandard distributions and nuisance parameters, and there is no sound statistical basis for testing causality in such a framework. Granger causality tests in ECM’s also suffer from nuisance parameter dependencies asymptotically and nonstandard limit theory. But, in spite of these difficulties Johansen-type ECM’s do offer a sound basis for empirical testing of the rank of the cointegration space and the rank of …

Unidentified Components In Reduced Rank Regression Estimation Of Ecm's, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Reduced rank regression procedures in error correction models (ECM’s) permit consistent estimation of the cointegration space but do not provide consistent estimates of individual structural relations when the dimension of the cointegration space is greater than one. Indeed, individual structural cointegrating equations are unidentified without additional a priori restrictions, just as in the conventional simultaneous equations framework. The effect of this lack of identification is explored by considering the distributions and limit distributions of reduced rank regression estimates of unidentified components of the cointegrating matrix in a typical VAR formulation of the ECM. Some recommendations are made for empirical practice.
