Reaganomics And The Welfare State, Mimi Abramovitz, Tom Hopkins

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Supply-side tax and spending policies have intensified poverty, unemployment and inequality, especially for women, minorities and organized labor. At the same time Reaganomics is shrinking and weakening the welfare state. To better understand and resist this conservative assault it is necessary to demystify the "economics" and "politics" of supply-side doctrine. This paper (a) defines the basic assumptions of supply-side economics; (b) identifies some of its problems and contradictions; (c) discusses its impact on the welfare state; and (d) analyzes it as part of a broader plan for coping with the current economic crisis. It argues that the supply-side tax cut …

The Economic Impact Of Workers' Compensation And Unemployment Insurance Programs On Small Business, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report examines the financial impact of workers' compensation and unemployment insurance programs on small and newly established businesses. Based on a survey of 1,194 firms across seven states, the study concludes that a distinct cost and utilization bias exists against small firms in workers' compensation programs. Specifically, smaller and newer businesses pay a significantly higher percentage of their payroll in premiums despite their employees making far less relative use of the program compared to larger, often self-insured corporations.

The Economic Impact Of Workers' Compensation And Unemployment Insurance Programs On Small Business, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report evaluates the dual macroeconomic impacts of state-administered workers' compensation and unemployment insurance programs on small and newly established businesses. Utilizing empirical mail-survey data gathered from 1,194 large and small firms across seven distinct states, the study reveals an inequitable financial premium burden and lower program utilization rates facing smaller employers under workers' compensation frameworks, while demonstrating that the relative financial and administrative impacts under unemployment insurance structures are comparatively balanced.

High Technology Industrial Development In New Mexico, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report defines high-technology manufacturing and evaluates its growth parameters, locational requirements, and expansion potential within New Mexico. Prepared by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of New Mexico, the study tracks the state's comparative regional metrics, demonstrating that while New Mexico’s high-tech employment grows faster than the national average, it continues to lag behind neighboring states—thereby requiring targeted policy initiatives, technology spinoffs from national laboratories, and focused educational investments to remain competitive.

The Banker's Briar Patch: The American Banker's Association And The Glass-Owen Bill Of 1913, Robert Drake Scull

History Theses & Dissertations

In order to compete with the British in international finance, leading bankers in the United States began to agitate for a central bank and "elastic" currency at least as early as 1905. Although the Panic of 1907 helped stir interest in banking reform, the political climate was so prejudiced against the banking profession that it became necessary for ABA spokesmen to condemn publicly the proposed legislation in order to insure that it would be passed. Privately, these same bankers worked closely with Woodrow Wilson and helped elect him president in 1912. Wilson returned the favor with the Federal Reserve Act …

BBER Publications

This report assesses the FY 1978 New Mexico State Police Selective Traffic Enforcement Program across four patrol districts in New Mexico. Using before-and-after accident analyses, the study found little evidence that the program reduced accidents, alcohol-related crashes, or fatalities, and concluded that declining manpower levels likely limited the effectiveness of the enforcement effort.
