'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 …

Value-Added Per Worker, Capital Accumulation And Technical Progress In A Small, Open Economy: An Explanation, Hian Teck Hoon

Research Collection School Of Economics

Within the context of industrial restructuring, it is not uncommon to use terms, such as 'higher value-added per worker', or 'low or high value added activities', and 'high technology' industries. The present note attempts to use the theoretical work in the field of international trade to sharpen our understanding of the relationships among the concepts of value added per worker, capital accumulation, and technical progress. We show that for a large country, capital accumulation raises the real value added per worker in both industries. With neutral technical progress occurring in the L-intensive industry, it is possible for the terms of …

What Is The Effect Of Random Variation In State Unemployment Rates?, Edward W. Hill

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

Examines national Current Population Survey data to indicate the impact of sample size on the standard error of subpopulations in the sample and to show how these errors can influence policy conclusions. Examines the unemployment rate cross-sectionally for 11 states to demonstrate that the monthly unemployment rate should not be used to make fine distinctions between the states.

Renegotiation-Proof Equilibria: Collective Rationality And Intertemporal Cooperation, David G. Pearce

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Cooperation in repeated games relies on the possibility that equilibrium play following some t -period history depends on more than simply the structure of the game remaining after the first t periods, that structure being always the same. In a nondegenerate theory of renegotiation, what a player expects, and the statements he finds credible at the end of period t must be affected by the history that has transpired, and perhaps by the implicit agreement that was in force. The solution concept proposed in this paper acknowledges both these influences, while imposing a certain stationarity on beliefs regarding what renegotiation …

Var Models As Structural Approximations, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper presents a way of estimating how accurate VAR models are likely to be for answering structural questions. Data are generated from a dynamic deterministic solution of a structural model; a VAR model is estimated using a subset of these data; and the properties of the VAR model are compared to the properties of the structural model. This procedure has the advantage of eliminating the effects of error terms, since the data are generated for a deterministic simulation. The results show that the VAR models do not seem to be good structural approximations.

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.

Stock Market Report For The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

A total of 5.9 million shares were traded in 4,752 deals in the period under review. This represents a decline of 0.6 million shares, or 9.2 per cent over the preceding quarter. The bearishness of the stock market during the review quarter emanated from the liquidity squeeze in the economy coupled with the deregulation of interest rates. Actively traded were the securities of Nigerian Breweries Ltd.: (1,204,379 shares), G. Cappa Ltd.: (793, 100 shares), Lever Brothers Nigeria Ltd.: (399,586 shares), Guinness Nigeria Ltd.: (345,465 shares) and Beecham Ltd.: (323,418 shares).

The Structural Adjustment Programme: The Journey So Far, A Ahmed

Economic and Financial Review

The SAP was introduced to achieve the following objectives: (i) To restructure and diversify the productive base of the economy in order to reduce dependence on the oil sector and imports; (ii) to achieve fiscal and balance of payments viability over the period; (iii) to lay the basis for sustainable non-innationary or minimal inOationary growth; (iv) to lessen the dominance of unproductive investment in the public sector, improve the sector's efficiency and intensify the growth potential of the private sector.

A General Survey Of The Experiences Of Some Less-Developed Countries (Ldcs) Under The Structural Adjustment Programme (Sap), O. J. Nnanna

Economic and Financial Review

This paper is a review of the impact of Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) on the economies of ten less developed countries (LDCs). It analysed the performance of some selected macroeconomic variables both before and after SAP was adopted in the selected countries. Based on available data, the several and collective lesson of experience confirmed that the impact of SAP varied not only amongst countries, but also within the various sectors in the same economic entity. Overall, it may be concluded that the broad theoretical objective of SAP was achieved mainly on the external sectors of the countries surveyed, while it …

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.

A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi

Economic and Financial Review

The purpose of the paper was to throw more light on the Structural Adjustment Programme currently under implementation in Nigeria through a detailed review and appraisal of its policy framework . This was considered to be desirable in view of recent public criticisms many of which appeared not to be well informed. In a more balanced approach, the paper reviewed the benefits and costs of the Programme. 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. …

Common Currency For The West African Sub-Region: Prospects For Nigeria, N. E. Ogbe

Economic and Financial Review

The paper identified and discussed the costs and benefits of a common currency to member nations, especially Nigeria. The costs include loss of autonomy by individual governments in major areas of monetary …

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.
