Doing Business In The Third World- With Special Reference To India, Premchander Jun 1992

Doing Business In The Third World- With Special Reference To India, Premchander

IIMB Management Review

Dictators, debts and declining economies are the dangers of the third world which have effectively kept away western businesses. The term third world, a product of the now defunct cold war, refers to those nations which currently constitute three fourths of the world population that are poor. This is a variegated grouping of nations with differing political systems, ranging from Westminster type democracies, neo-fascist dictatorships to monarchies -hereditary and otherwise. The sustaining economic models may be capitalist, Marxian or any acceptable mix of the two leading some writers to believe in the existence of convergent capitalism where elements of freemarket …

Meaningful privatisation in India calls for phasing it over a period of time in a well thought out manner and the same has been dealt in detail in this paper.

The Role Of Banks In Successful Implementation Of The Premier Export Processing Zone In Nigeria., C M. Anyanwu Jun 1992

The Role Of Banks In Successful Implementation Of The Premier Export Processing Zone In Nigeria., C M. Anyanwu

Bullion

The establishment and promotion of Export Processing Zones (EPZs) has been identified as a potential scheme for boosting manufactured exports. A decree (No. 34 Nigerian Export Processing Zones Decree 1991) formally establishing export processing zones in Nigeria was promulgated by the Federal Government on August 9, 1991. Consequently, an area beside the port of Calabar has been chosen as the site of Nigeria’s premier EPZ and the foundation stone was laid by the President in November,1991. This paper, therefore, examines the expected roles of the banks with a view of alerting them to the challenges ahead.

Expectations Driven Nonlinear Business Cycles, Jean-Michel Grandmont Jun 1992

Expectations Driven Nonlinear Business Cycles, Jean-Michel Grandmont

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The first part of the paper is a brief introduction to the concepts and methods used in recent endogenous business cycles models. Endogenous deterministic and stochastic fluctuations are bound to occur, under increasingly plausible assumptions, in models with individual optimization, market clearing and self-fulfilling expectations when there are capital market imperfections. The phenomenon is most likely to be observed, in a nonlinear framework, when some eigenvalue(s) of the system have a modulus close to 1 (unit roots). It is argued that endogenous business cycles models have become more and more credible alternatives to describe observed fluctuations in our economies. The …


A Nine Variable Probabilistic Macroeconomic Forecasting Model, Christopher A. Sims Jun 1992

A Nine Variable Probabilistic Macroeconomic Forecasting Model, Christopher A. Sims

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A model for U.S. macroeconomic time series that has been used for forecasting for several years is described in some detail. The model is a multivariate Bayesian autoregression, with allowance for conditional heteroskedasticity, stochastic time-variation in parameters, and non-normality of disturbances. It specifies the prior distribution in ways that improve on previous Bayesian vector autoregression specifications in realism and forecasting performance. The model’s record of forecasting in recent years is displayed and discussed.
