Changes In The Black/White Income Ratio, 1939-87, Melvin Keys

Masters Theses

The Black/white income ratio (BWIR) has increased steadily from 1939-87 for families with two incomes. Early-on, the income disparity was greatest for black females compared to black males. Because of race and sex discrimination, black females were lagging far behind society in wage differences. Today, the opposite is true, black males lag far behind black females in income: compared to their white counterparts. One of the reasons for such a large reversal in income differences maybe the opportunities that were available to black females in such occupations as teaching and nursing from 1940-75.

Information Technology And Wealth: Cybernetics, History And Economics, Elin Whitney-Smith

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Capitalism developed where and when it did because there was high information access. There was high information access because of a major advance in information technology--the press. Where the technology was not controlled by the "powers that be" there was economic growth and a shift in the entire social structure. Where it was controlled there was no structural change and there was economic ruin. The development of capitalism is a major step change in economic growth. It is also a major change in the way people organize themselves into groups.

Major step changes in the growth and in the organization …

Relaxing Traditional Economic Assumptions And Values: Toward A New Disciplinary Discourse On Law, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Economics has been viewed traditionally as a discipline removed from other, "softer", fields of social analysis. Professor R. Malloy has fought to remove these barriers and encourage interdisciplinary dialogue. In a field previously dominated by normative values of majority power holders, a multidisciplinary approach allows for a more extensive examination of social trends and the question of innate human "rights". By relaxing the assumptions of traditional neoclassical economic analysis, one can gain a theoretical perspective that includes insights from multiple disciplines. This article reinforces Malloy's conceptualization of new social analysis, hoping to further this new interdisciplinary cooperation.

Carrying A Big Carrot: Linking Multilateral Disarmament And Development Assistance, David A. Koplow, Philip G. Schrag

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article proposes, as a new element of the "liberal internationalism" that should characterize the post-Cold War world, a simultaneous solution to these three problems. The nations of the world should negotiate a series of multilateral agreements to stop the spread of advanced weaponry, and include in each of them, as an overt incentive for developing states to accept the disarmament and verification obligations, provisions that explicitly require the affluent, developed states to make specified monetary and in-kind transfers to the third world parties. The new regime should also provide stronger-than-customary treaty procedures for clarifying ambiguities, adjudicating claims, and resolving …

How Affirmative Is Affirmative?, Shu-Fen Hsu

Theses

Since January 1989, the US Supreme Court has launched a major offensive on affirmative action and civil rights law. The biggest target of the attack is Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars employment discrimination. As a result, access to private and public contracts for all but the largest black businesses will virtually be nonexistent. For black means decreasing employment and mobility opportunities in the workplace. In addition, complainants will have a more difficult time bringing forth and winning discrimination suits. Racial tension now has a stronger - although subtler - presence in the US. The ascent …

How Effective Is The Union Title Vii Grievance Procedures, Yu-Wen Liu

Theses

Title VII forbids certain kinds of discrimination in employment and establishes a federal forum to enforce employee's rights. It means an employer discriminates against any individual in hiring or discharging, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

It has been a long time to use Title VII in unlawful practice employment. Therefore, in my thesis, I investigate the development of labor law, special for the development of Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964. Secondly, I emphasize on the individual and union that they can effectively make use of their rights under Title VII. …

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is recognized for its role in collecting, collating, analyzing, and disseminating data on the Nigerian economy. It has made available as much information as possible through its regular publications such as the Monthly, Half-Year, and Annual Reports, as well as the Economic and Financial Review and the Intermediate Economic and Financial Indicators. However, the bulk of the statistics published in these documents have focused mainly on the current and irregular reporting periods. This has led to a gap in the availability of relevant statistics in the country. The first issue of the CBN Strategic …

It is the primary goal of this thesis to develop an accounting technique by which the human capital cost of fatalities due to the Northern Ireland Conflict may be measured in an accepted unit of account. While the development of a model for measuring human capital loss is in itself an important part of the study, the ultimate objective is to arrive at an estimate of the human capital …

A Strategic Market Game With A Mutual Bank With Fractional Reserves And Redemption In Gold (A Continuum Of Traders), Martin Shubik, Dimitrios P. Tsomocos

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We utilize the strategic market game approach to analyze the role and function of a mutual bank with variable fractional reserves, redemption in gold and endogenous interest rate formation. We specify the conditions of enough money and its distribution. Using the continuum of traders model, we show existence and optimality for the case of no bankruptcy as well as for the case in which there exists the potentiality of bankruptcy. Finally, we analyze the relationship of the gearing ratio and the bankruptcy penalty with respect to the resulting equilibrium allocations.

IIMB Management Review

The Author offers a comparative analysis of govemment and non-government organisations in implementing rural development programme in four districts of Kamataka. He found a distinct variation in the performance of these organisations. The philosophies, strategies, and methods adopted by these organisations appeared to be mainly responsible for the effectiveness of the programme. The adoption of grass-root level planning, selection or operation in a smaller area, involvement of the people, supervision and commitment of its personnel in NGOs mainly contributed for the effective implementation of the progamme. On the other hand, top down approach, uniform policy with inappropriate administrative structures and …

Perspectives On Medium To Long-Term Outlook For The Nigerian Economy, Abdulkadir Ahmed

Economic and Financial Review

The Nigerian economy was in a deplorable state prior to the introduction of various policy and structural reforms in 1986. During the period of oil boom (1973-80), the production and consumption patterns in the country became import- dependent. With the collapse of oil prices in mid-1981, a foreign exchange crisis emerged. Foreign exchange earnings declined from US $25.9 billion in 1980 to $7.2 billion in 1986 with adverse consequences for the economy. The balance of payments came under severe pressures, swinging from a surplus ofN2.4 billion in 1980 to a large deficit of N3.0 billion in 1982. External debt increased …

Foreign Private Investment Survey In 1988, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Although the 1988 survey on Foreign Private Investment showed that there was an increase in the net capital inflow through the Nigerian/foreign jointly-owned companies, a closer look revealed that the 22 per cent increase in the level of the gross inflow of capital over the 1987 level was merely due to naira exchange rate depreciation of 222 per cent between December 1987 and December 1988. Net investments by alien entrepreneurs continued to be dominated by unsettled liabilities to their overseas trading partners while the relative share of equity investments was relatively small, inspite of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) which …

Economic and Financial Review

The paper covers an important subject matter that is of relevance to the N"igerian economy in 'View of our recent experiences, with deregulation in general and in particular of the financial sector.
