The Impact Of Reserve Requirements On Free Bank Failures, Andrew J. Economopoulos Dec 1986

The Impact Of Reserve Requirements On Free Bank Failures, Andrew J. Economopoulos

Business and Economics Faculty Publications

The Free Banking Era, noted for numerous bank failures and large creditor losses, has been traditionally viewed as the experiment in laissez-faire banking that failed. Current researchers have found evidence suggesting that bank failures and creditor losses were limited to selected states and have linked the cause of bank failures to periods of falling asset prices. Free banks were required to hold long-term assets as primary reserves for short-term liabilities. Current banking theory suggests that the maturity imbalance between assets and liabilities increases the free bank's exposure to interest rate risk. Some states imposed a secondary reserve, the specie reserve …

Developments In The Financial System During The Third Quarter Of 1986, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

The narrow measure of money stock, (Ml), declined during the third quarter due, on the one hand, to increases in quasi money and 'other' assets of the banking system and on the other, partially offsetting increases in foreign assets and in credit to the domestic economy. The broader measure, (M2), maintained an upward trend. The money and capital market both recorded moderate increases in the level activities during the quarter.

Developments In The World Commodity Markets During The Second Quarter Of 1986, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Jun 1986

Developments In The World Commodity Markets During The Second Quarter Of 1986, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

All the items, except rubber and ginger, recorded price declines ranging from 0.6 per cent for coffee to 34.1 per cent for palm kernel. The prices of rubber and ginger increased by 4.3 and I. 7 per cent, respectively. The major factor responsible for the deterioration was the effect of failure to reach positive agreement on most of the international commodity organisations, particularly in respect of cocoa. Other factors which helped to depress the market included the sharp decline in oil prices which reduced the purchasing power of affected countries, appreciable gains by the pound sterling over the US dollar …

Problems Of Monetary And Financial Integration In Ecowas, S. E. Omoruyi Jun 1986

Problems Of Monetary And Financial Integration In Ecowas, S. E. Omoruyi

Economic and Financial Review

The paper examines the problems of monetary and financial integration in the ECOWAS sub-region. It traces the origins of these problems to the post-colonial era when sentimental attachment to issues of sovereignty, development of national currencies and the imposition of payments restrictions took their roots. Given the background of these problems, the paper makes a number of recommendations, such as the need to adopt a common currency and more realistic exchange rates, for forging greater monetary co-operation in the sub-region.

Problems Of Measuring Unemployment In Nigeria, H. A. Ajani, H. N. Okonta Jun 1986

Problems Of Measuring Unemployment In Nigeria, H. A. Ajani, H. N. Okonta

Economic and Financial Review

Much as unemployment is dreaded in all market economies, the problems associated with its measurement in Nigeria are sometimes not addressed, if ever appreciated. To facilitate international comparison, uniform measurement methods have considerably narrowed down the difference in the concept of unemployment. Nevertheless, unemployment index seems to disguise the extent of the problem in Nigeria. Unless the desire to work for a wage is explicitly expressed, it is difficult to identify the unemployed. In other words, if the job-seeker is regarded as someone actively seeking wage employment, the concept of unemployment becomes less relevant in the context of a developing …

The Impact Of River Basin Development Authorities On Nigerian Agriculture: A Case Study Of Niger River Basin Development Authority, E. D. Balogun, E. U. Ukeje Jun 1986

The Impact Of River Basin Development Authorities On Nigerian Agriculture: A Case Study Of Niger River Basin Development Authority, E. D. Balogun, E. U. Ukeje

Economic and Financial Review

The paper traced the history of water resource development in Nigeria, and assessed the impact of the Niger River Basin Development Authority (NRBDA) on crop production in the region. The analysis of available data showed that although the NRBDA's activities resulted in improvements in crop yields, and farm incomes of beneficiaries, the impact on regional output and area cultivated was marginal since it accrued to only very few farmers. Moreover, the cost of generating such increments was outrageously high when compared to the incremental costs incurred by alternative development institutions in respect of similar activities. The NRBDA was not without …

Labor Supply Response To Welfare Programs: A Dynamic Analysis, David M. Blau, Philip K. Robins Jan 1986

Labor Supply Response To Welfare Programs: A Dynamic Analysis, David M. Blau, Philip K. Robins

Economics Articles and Papers

Previous static analyses of the work disincentive effects of welfare programs are extended to a dynamic context. Using a sample of continuous longitudinal labor market histories, estimates are derived for welfare-nonwelfare differences in labor market flows among the states of employment, unemployment, and nonparticipation. The estimates are used to identify the main sources of the lower employment and labor force participation rates and higher unemployment rate of welfare recipients. The findings indicate that welfare programs have substantial effects on virtually every labor market transition examined but that the primary source of the static work disincentive effect is slower entry into …
