The Japanese Labor Market In A Comparative Perspective With The United States: A Transaction-Cost Interpretation, Masanori Hashimoto

Upjohn Press

This study offers a comparative analysis of a number of Japanese labor market features in relation to the U.S. The author examines employer-employee attachment, workforce adjustment, and industrial relations including "unique" Japanese institutions such as joint consultation and consensus-based decision making.

Multinational Corporations And Economic Development In Brazil, Guido B. Klein

Masters Theses

In this paper the hypothesis that foreign direct investment by multinational corporations in Brazil was beneficial for Brazil's economic development is being tested. This is done by examining the numerous different consequences of foreign direct investment in Brazil. It is looked at the effects of multinational activities on economic growth and employment, on the balance-of-payments. on distribution of income, and on the composition of gross domestic product. Furthermore, it is focussed on research and development activities of multinationals in Brazil; also the questions whether foreign direct investment contributed to the foreign indebtedness and to inflation are discussed. Finally, it is …

Evaluating Corporate Average Fuel Economy Mandates: An Exploratory Cost-Benefit Analysis, Hans G. Schmeits

Masters Theses

Vehicle fuel economy has become the object of intense government regulation in the last two decades. In 1975, Congress legislated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for all new cars produced after the 1978 model year. Today, Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations are being criticized as overly strict in an era of falling gasoline prices. This study provides an assessment of the costs and benefits of the controversial CAFE program and empirically analyzes its effects. The author concludes that the increase in fleet fuel economies, across the line, is approximately what one should have expected given the rise in real …

Jevons's Applications Of Utilitarian Theory To Economic Policy, Sandra J. Peart

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The precise nature of W. S. Jevons's utilitarianism as a guiding rule for economic policy has yet to be investigated, and that will be the first issue treated in this paper. While J. A. Schumpeter, for instance, asserted that 'some of the most prominent exponents of marginal utility' (including Jevons), were 'convinced utilitarians', he did not investigate the further implications for Jevons's policy analysis.¹

The World Trading System: Law And Policy Of International Economic Relations, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Pakistan - An Economic And Social Agenda For The 1990'S, Ishrat Husain Dr

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

The euphoria and mood of jubilation and exaltation in Pakistan, ignited by the recent events leading to restoration of civilian rule, provides both an opportunity as well as a challenge for setting a long term agenda and perspective for the country. Having lived virtually from day to day with pangs of anxiety, fears of uncertainity and feelings of despair, the people of this country need from the civilian rulers of Pakistan -"-- whether at the Centre or the Provinces --- specification of goals, a clear sense of future direction and a road map to guide them. Should, God forbid, our …

Entral Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Accounts For The Year Ended 31st December 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria

CBN Annual Report

The Nigerian economy showed improvement in 1989 compared to 1988. Economic Growth: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 4.0%, driven by growth in agriculture and industry. The overall balance of payments moved from a deficit to a surplus, largely due to a significant increase in crude oil exports. The unemployment rate declined slightly, with more jobs created through government programs. Nigeria's external assets increased significantly, reflecting a deliberate policy to build official reserves. Inflation: Despite some improvement, inflationary pressures remained high, with domestic prices rising by 40.9%. Stagnant Manufacturing: Manufacturing production grew at a slow pace due to high production …

Alternative In Industrial Development By H. H. De Haan, New Delhi: Sage Publication, 1988., S N Chary

IIMB Management Review

This is the first volume in a series of studies sponsored under the Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternatives in Development, the programme being jointly implemented by ICSSR, New Delhi and IMWOO, The Hague. Essentially, the study presented in this volume is an evaluation of the main sugar technologies by means of economic analysis. It mostly confines itself to the evaluations and comparisons between the modern vacuum pan sulphitation (VPS) process, used in the Indian sugar mills, and the open pan sulphitation (OPS) process which is an intermediate technology and an alternative to the large-scale VPS Process.

Planning: New Imperative, Abid Hussain

IIMB Management Review

Planning must take note of the fact that while the economy is integrating, the indian polity is fragmenting and society is becoming more divisive. The fragmentation of polity and assertion of separate group or community identities are perhaps a part of an inescapable process. How this fragmentation and divisive aspects of society are to be managed in a national perspective, is an
the emerging challenge for planning.

                                                      The need right now is to stimulate further growth. Without higher growth, we will end up only redistributing poverty. Taking into account the growth performance of the Indian economy since 1980. It is …

Linking Wages With Productivity By G. K. Suri & R. C. Mongra, New Delhi: National Productivity Council, 1989., B R Patil

IIMB Management Review

Improving employee productivity has been a problem in all economies - capitalist, socialist, and mixed on the one hand, and developed and developing on the other. The problem becomes quite complex when the issue of sharing the gains of improved productivity between industry and labor arises. The complex nature of this problem necessitates the exchange of views among all concerned to evolve guidelines for sharing the gains of productivity.

On The Theory Of Macroeconomic Policy, James Tobin

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Jan Tinbergen was and is of course a scientist, full of curiosity about how the world works. But his motivation has always been more than curiosity. He wants to know how the world works so that he can make it work better. Knowledge is the foundation of policy. It was natural for Tinbergen to set forth a formal theory of policy nearly fifty years ago and it was equally natural from him to relate the theory to practical problems of policy in the Netherlands and else where and to implement it and illustrate it with the help of theoretical and …

Public Pension Power For Socioeconomic Investments, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

We are at a turning point in the United States with regard to state and local public pension funds. First there is a movement to use these pension funds to support new kinds of investment activities, and second, the current economic analysis being provided by economists of the neoclassical ideology is inconsistent with the community intent for the pensions. These pensions were established by the community for what Thorstein Veblen defined as parental purposes, meaning societal activity structured to provide for the common good and the welfare of others [Veblen 1937, pp. 25-38]. Parental institutions function to elevate the broad …

Estimate Of Compliance Costs And Benefits Of Proposed Revisions To The New Mexico Liquid Waste Regulations, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report evaluates the socioeconomic impacts of proposed groundwater protection revisions to the New Mexico Liquid Waste Regulations, establishing a minimum lot size of .75 acres for on-site disposal systems. Prepared by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico, the study reveals that while the regulations will incur a one-time per-household land compliance cost between $200 and $14,000, the total economic benefits are nearly two times greater than the costs because they systematically avert the need for expensive community water and sewer infrastructure.
