Comments On "Regional Integration In Sub-Saharan Africa: Past Experience And Future Prospects" By Faezah Foroutan, Ishrat Husain Dr. Apr 1992

Comments On "Regional Integration In Sub-Saharan Africa: Past Experience And Future Prospects" By Faezah Foroutan, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

I agree with Ms Forouton that the import substitution policies and the unequal distribution of costs and benefits of integration are the principal reason for the lack of success in regional integration in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). I also agree that factor mobility in the presence of restricted goods movement is not necessarily and automatically welfare improving or desirable. Both of these conclusions follow logically from the comparative static framework she uses for her analysis. I would leave the speculative question as to what will happen if we use a dynamic process but I would show that, even under the present …

Optimal Changepoint Tests For Normal Linear Regression, Donald W.K. Andrews, Inpyo Lee, Werner Ploberger

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper determines a class of finite sample optimal tests for the existence of a changepoint at an unknown time in a normal linear multiple regression model with known variance. Optimal tests for multiple changepoints are also derived. Power comparisons of several tests are provided based on simulations.

Optimal Tests When A Nuisance Parameter Is Present Only Under The Alternative, Donald W.K. Andrews, Werner Ploberger Apr 1992

Optimal Tests When A Nuisance Parameter Is Present Only Under The Alternative, Donald W.K. Andrews, Werner Ploberger

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper derives asymptotically optimal tests for testing problems in which a nuisance parameter exists under the alternative hypothesis but not under the null. The results of the paper are of interest, because the testing problem considered in non-standard and the classical asymptotic optimality results for the Wald, Lagrange multiplier (LM), and likelihood ratio (LR) tests do not apply. In the non-standard cases of main interest, new optimal tests are obtained and the LR test is not found to be an optimal test.

Postsecondary Education As Triage: Returns To Academic And Technical Programs, Kevin Hollenbeck Apr 1992

Postsecondary Education As Triage: Returns To Academic And Technical Programs, Kevin Hollenbeck

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

This paper examines the labor market outcomes of individuals with various types of postsecondary educational experiences. In particular, it examines differences between students who have pursued technical education programs from those who have pursued academic programs and from those individuals who have not pursued any type of postsecondary education. Empirical evidence is presented concerning the relationship between economic outcomes and grades earned and the degree to which the labor market rewards credentials. Wage and earnings models yield different structural parameter estimates when based on the three different populations. The differences are most dramatic for high school background effects and for …

The Case For Taxing Consumption, Murray L. Weidenbaum Apr 1992

The Case For Taxing Consumption, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The governments of most industrialized nations, especially in the European Community, use consumption taxes far more than the United States. Yet a low-saving, slow-growing economy such as the United States would benefit greatly from shifting the national revenue system from taxing income to taxing consumption. That change would provide a powerful incentive to increase the nation's saving and investment and, therefore, economic growth and living standards. This report examines the pros and cons of consumption taxation and also analyzes the major policy alternatives to structuring a new tax of that type.

Asymmetric Market Failure And Prisoner's Dilemma In Intellectual Property, Wendy J. Gordon Apr 1992

Asymmetric Market Failure And Prisoner's Dilemma In Intellectual Property, Wendy J. Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

When competitors engage in unrestrained copying of each others' intangible products, the structure can resemble a prisoner's dilemma in which free choice leads to unnecessarily low individual payoffs and low social welfare. There are many ways to avoid these low payoffs, such as contract enforcement, direct regulation of copying behavior through IP, and direct government subsidies. All of these modes alter the payoff pattern away from prisoner's dilemma.

When should lawmakers place copyright law or other IP law among the prime options to consider?

Because copyright, patent, misappropriation and the like all work through private-property markets, one key is to …

Money, James Tobin Mar 1992

Money, James Tobin

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Among the conventions of almost every human society of historical record has been the use of money, i.e., particular commodities or tokens as measures of value and media of exchange in economic transactions. Somehow the members of a society agree on what will be acceptable tender in making payments and settling debts among themselves. General agreement to the convention, not the particular media agreed upon, is the source of money’s immense value to the society. In this respect money is similar to language, standard time, or the convention designating the side of the road for passing. This paper reviews the …

Interpreting The Macroeconomic Time Series Facts: The Effects Of Moentary Policy, Christopher A. Sims Mar 1992

Interpreting The Macroeconomic Time Series Facts: The Effects Of Moentary Policy, Christopher A. Sims

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Existing theory and evidence on the effects of monetary policy are reviewed. Substantial room for disagreement among economists remains. New evidence, based on multivariate time series studies of several countries, is presented. While certain patterns in the data consistent with effective monetary policy are strikingly similar across countries, others, particularly the tendency of interest rate increases to predict high inflation, are harder to reconcile with effective monetary policy.

Expanding The Scope Of Expectations Data Collection: The U.S. And Japanese Stock Markets, Robert J. Shiller, Fumiko Kon-Ya, Yoshiro Tsutsui

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A pilot effort was undertaken to experiment with a method of collecting parallel time series data for expectations and popular models and theories of institutional stock market participants in the United States and Japan 1989-91, covering the period before and after the dramatic and sudden halving of Japanese stock prices. Substantial variability within countries through time in the responses and dramatic differences across countries in expectations (even expectations for the same country) were found. There are significant research opportunities in expanded data collection along these lines.
