Entrepreneurship And Economic Development: A Critique Of The Theory, Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann

Political Science Faculty Publications

This thesis is a criticism of the "entrepreneurial school" of economic development, which contends that a major cause of underdevelopment in the Third World is the poor "entrepreneurial spirit" in these areas. The entrepreneurial spirit consists of certain values and behaviour which it is presumed existed in the West at the time of its development. To test the validity of this theory empirical evidence on entrepreneurs is examined; this evidence includes historical data on the West, especially the United States and France, and twenty-one area studies of entrepreneurs in the Third World. The evidence suggests that there is little difference …

Changing Patterns of Communities in the Midwest (Dorothy Switzer)

The regional concept of economic planning and development discussed in the December issue of Business in Nebraska was the subject also of a workshop conference on "Changing Patterns of People and Communities in the Midwest," held in Omaha last month. It is deemed appropriate to report here the most significant highlight of the conference because the panel presentations and subsequent discussions further developed several important apects of regional growth.

Business Summary (R. L. Busboom)

Both Physical Volume and Dollar Volume indexes indicate that Nebraska's November, 1968, level of business activity was notably above that of the same month last year. For both indicators, Nebraska's changes were at nearly the same rates as those of the U. S. On a month-to-month basis, however, Nebraska as well as the U. S. experienced Dollar and Physical Volume declines, from October, 1968, to November, 1968, that were more than seasonally expectable. Also, Nebraska's drop-off was more than that of the …

Nebraska's Export of Agricultural Products (Dorothy Switzer)

Nebraska moved up from fourth to third place among the seven states in the West North Central region in dollar volume of agricultural exports in fiscal 1968 and retained its position as ninth ranking state in the nation, according to recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Sales amounting to $229.5 million of Nebraska farm products constituted 14.5% of the regional total, exceeded only by Iowa, which accounted for almost one -fourth of the total, and by Kansas, which was second with almost 19%. The West North Central region was again the …

Extent of Corporation Farming in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer)

Concern has been expressed in many quarters over the apparent increase in the number of nonfarm corporations that are buying land and initiating new farming enterprises in Nebraska. It has become important, therefore, to know the facts about the number of these corporations and the amount of farm land they are operating in the state. This information has recently been made available because Nebraska is one of 22 states included in a preliminary report summarizing a survey of corporate farming.

Employment in Export-Related Jobs in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer)

How many Nebraskans are employed in export-related jobs? What percentage of the state's total private employment is auributable to export business ?

These questions are raised frequently, but until recently no answers could be based on more up- to - date data than 1960 figures. Estimates of employment related to exports of goods, by state, based on data from a 1965 survey of the origins of exports, have now been provided, however, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. Although unfortunately these estimates do not reflect the …

The Cost of County Government in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer and E. S. Wallace)

Data for the following article were prepared before 1967 population eatimates and tax reports were available. Use of the later figures, however, would not alter appreciably the detail of the supporting tables and would not change in any way the conclusions reached. The article provides background information on a proposed constitutional amendment on which Nebraskans will vote in November concerning which there has as yet been virtually no publicity and of which most voters are probably not yet even aware.

Nebraska's Estimated Retail Sales, 1967 (E. L. Hauswald)

Retail sales of commodities in Nebraska are estimated to have reached a dollar volume 4.0 percent greater in 1967 than in 1966 -- up from $2,331 million to $2,424 million. This increase was notably less than the previous 1965-to-1966 increase of 7.0 percent. The table below presents a comparison of 1967 with 1966. Previous estimates have been published annually in the March or April issue of Business in Nebraska.

Nebraska Educational Expenditures (Dorothy Switzer)

In terms of expenditure, education is by far the leading function of state and local government. In terms of socio-economic progress in the modern world, attainment of high educational standards is obligatory. Educational expenditures in Nebraska in comparison to other states, therefore, become a matter of extreme urgency as we attempt to build a climate conducive to economic and business growth.

The Growth of Corporate Farming (Dorothy Switzer)

The structure of agriculture, its organization and control, is changing. Although the changes now perceived are not sudden developments, they will determine the nature of tomorrow's agri-business. The focus of this article is on corporate farming, one of the institutional changes being observed in agriculture.

Both physical volume and dollar volume indexes of business in Nebraska indicate that the March, 1968 levels were below those of March, 1967. For the U.S., both the dollar volume and the physical volume increased from March, 1967. Construction activity dropped off considerably …

Population, Employment, and Income Projections (E. S. Wallace and Dorothy Switzer)

At this season of numerous forecasts for the year ahead, it seems appropriate to present in the accompanying article forecasts of certain aspects of the Nebraska economy for a much longer period.

The projections, based on analysis by an impartial outside agency, present a rather gloomy picture. Some may feel that they are inconsistent with the articles in our November and December issues describing the state's new economic development program. It should be remembered, however, that nearly all states have similar programs aimed at industrial expansion, that most of …

Exports of Nebraska Manufacturers (Dorothy Switzer)

Total exports of manufactured goods from Nebraska amounted to almost 55 million dollars in 1966, according to data revealed recently in the revised published report of a study made by the Bureau of the Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Figures from Nebraska fully confirm the spectacular increase in exports of the state's manufactured products reported in the August, 1967, issue of Business in Nebraska, and based on data collected in a Bureau of Business Research survey of a sample of Nebraska manufacturers. The national study also corroborates the local survey as …

Nebraska County and City Population Estimates for 1967 (E. L. Hauswald)

Nebraska's population at the end of the 1967 is estimated to have been 1,521,654. This was an increase of 5,610 persons or nearly 0.4 percent for the year. The 1967 increase was markedly less than the 18,000 persons, or 1.2 percent increase estimated for 1966. Since April, 1960, the state's population is estimated to have increased about 7.8 percent. The estimated national increase for the same period was about 10.5 percent. Nebraska's growth continues to be notably below that of the Nation.

As a basis for considering possible abandonment of the state income tax, Nebraskans ought to inform themselves as to the role it, along with the retail sales tax, is playing.

Implications of the Growth of Corporate Farming (Dorothy Switzer)

Economic studies of farm size have shown that, as farm size increases, average costs either decrease, remain about the same, or increase slightly for very large farms- but still remain below average returns. If this were always so, large farms would be the most profitable, and it might be expected that the size distribution of farms would rapidly shift in this direction. But, as Wilcox reported to the Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly, farm size has been increasing almost uniformly for all size categories. Of all farms, the largest 10 percent …
