A Crisis In Insurance, Benjamin Lipson

New England Journal of Public Policy

As the life and health insurance industry evaluates its long-term financial goals, the cloud of Black Monday — October 19, 1987, the day the stock market collapsed — blurs its cherished investment income projections. With investment portfolios under siege, mutual life insurance companies and stock companies alike are wary of making policy-pricing miscalculations that could prove to be disastrous. As if that weren't enough, one single disease — acquired immunodeficiency syndrome — looms as the most serious threat to life and health insurers for the remainder of this century. The spread of the new disease has caused insurers to adjust …

'Small Profits': Strukturmerkmale Und Entwicklungsprobleme Der Urbanen Individualwirtschaft In Der Vr China, Wolfgang Jamann, Thomas Menkhoff

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This article intends to analyse recent structural patterns, development problems and the reasons for rehabilitation of the urban private economy in the People’s Republic of China since 1978. The authors start from the thesis that the so-called “private sector” in China is not comparable with its “out”-differentiated counterpart in Western industrial countries, but is interlaced, in a complex way, with informal, partly illegitimate activities, interpersonal relation-networks (“guanxi”) or economic transactions of state/collective factories. The article illustrates the subordinate situation of the individual labourers in terms of their political regulation by (sometimes restrictive) licence procedures, taxes and fees; resource supply problems …

Producers are surveyed to determine current practices used. The relationship between milk yield, somatic cell count, management practices, and producer and production characteristics is estimated. Subjective probabilities are elicited from "expert," extension agents, and producers concerning the impact and cost of various management practices. Subjective marginal value products and marginal input costs are computed and compared for the respondent groups. Stochastic dominance is used to rank the relative importance of the practices as …

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

With the emergence of the dry season and harmattan in most parts of the country, very little farming activity took place during the fourth quarter of 1987. Rather, some northern states, namely, Bauchi, Niger and Sokoto reported serious drought with grasshopper infestations which damaged thousands of hectares of farm crops. However, a total of 124,788 metric tonnes of fertilizers were distributed to farmers across the country in preparation for the next farming season. This figure represents a decrease of 41.6 per cent over the level in the preceding quarter.

Cappa Ltd.: (793, 100 shares), Lever Brothers Nigeria Ltd.: (399,586 shares), Guinness Nigeria Ltd.: (345,465 shares) and Beecham Ltd.: (323,418 shares).

Economic and Financial Review

Developments In The Financial System During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Growth in monetary aggregates accelerated during the fourth quarter, as the narrow measure of money stock (Ml) rose substantially by 20.2 per cent, compared with 5.0 per cent in the preceding quarter. The major factors responsible for this increase were increased government reliance on bank credit to bridge budgetary gaps and the traditional seasonal rise in demand for credit by the private sector. The broad money (M2) also rose as a result of the rise in Ml and the expansion in commercial banks' time and saving deposit liabilities, following the enhanced yield on these deposits.

Developments In Nigeria's External Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Transactions in foreign exchange through the Central Bank resulted in a net inflow of N495.7 million during the 4th quarter of 1987, as against a net inflow of Nl,184.5 million in the preceding quarter. This development increased the official reserves from N4, 159.0 million at the end of the 3rd quarter to N4,654. 7 million at the end of 1987. However the foreign exchange position was far from comfortable as the level of reserves could cover barely two months' imports.

This was considered to be desirable in view of recent public criticisms many of which appeared not to be well informed.

Among the benefits highlighted were the removal of the overvaluation of the naira exchange rate, the boost to agricultural exports, greater industrial capacity utilization and the improved international confidence in the Nigerian economy. …

Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe

Economic and Financial Review

The paper reviews the current economic policy framework against the background of the economic policy regime up to 1985 and observes that the past experience justifies the current experiment with private markets as the principal mechanism for allocating resources. The paper argues that the visible hand of the government does have a supportive role, a lbeit a different one from the past. The new approach is considered as having great potential although ultimate success is as yet beset by various uncertainties as may be expected from any experiment.
