Religious Affiliation And Individual International-Policy Preferences In The United States, Joseph P. Daniels
Religious Affiliation And Individual International-Policy Preferences In The United States, Joseph P. Daniels
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Empirical examination of individual-level survey data on national identity, in general, reveals a significant relationship between religious affiliation and an individual’s international-policy preferences and that this relationship varies across Protestant denominations. Specifically, we test attitudes toward import and immigration policies, the role of international institutions, and unilateral policy actions. The empirical results indicate that individuals affiliated with conservative Protestant denominations are more likely to support positions on international issues that can be regarded as consistent with the anti-globalist right. We also find evidence of a reinforcing regional effect among conservatives in the south, and differences in the preferences of Baptist …
The Significance Of The Economic Summits, Joseph P. Daniels
The Significance Of The Economic Summits, Joseph P. Daniels
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
It is argued here that the summits should not be transformed or elevated to some system of global economic governance. Rather, global economic stability depends on good domestic economic policymaking and, thus, the economic summits cannot substitute for effective and effcient policymaking within sovereign nations. The summits, therefore, should be seen first and foremost as a means for improving and generating better domestic policies via cooperation as opposed to delivering packages of coordinated policies. By focusing on international economic policy cooperation, the summits can contribute much to improving domestic economic policymaking. The protest at the Genoa summit and the events …
Private Savings In Transition Economies: Are There Terms Of Trade Shocks?, Abdur Chowdhury
Private Savings In Transition Economies: Are There Terms Of Trade Shocks?, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Economic agents in the transition economies are subject to tight credit constraints, which are more pronounced during bad state of nature. Thus, adverse shocks to commodity prices in the world market can force them to reduce savings by a larger amount than they would otherwise have. Empirical analysis using a dynamic panel model and data from 21 transition economies confirm that most of the determinants of savings identified in the literature also apply to the transition economies. The transitory component in the terms of trade have a larger positive impact than the permanent component. This reflects the lack of access …
What Determines Public Education Expenditures In Russia?, Inna Verbina, Abdur Chowdhury
What Determines Public Education Expenditures In Russia?, Inna Verbina, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Recent studies suggest that the allocation of expenditures in education is important for growth. The state of public education spending in many transition economies highlights the need for an assessment of the nature of education expenditures in these countries. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by estimating the determinants of education expenditures in the Russian Federation. Results from panel data analysis show that revenue and the student-population ratio have a positive impact on education expenditures while the effect of population density is negative. Three regional variables also show significant impact. The income and price elasticity of …
Complex Economic Systems: Using Collective Intentionality Analysis To Explain Individual Ldentity In Networks, John B. Davis
Complex Economic Systems: Using Collective Intentionality Analysis To Explain Individual Ldentity In Networks, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Une approche particulière de l'analyse de économies vues comme des systèmes complexes étudie l'interaction entre les individus dans des réseaus locaux ou de voisinage qui sont un sous-ensemble des économies plus larges. En rejetant la vision traditionnelle des fondations microéconomiques de la relation entre le comportement économique individuel et agrégé comme s'influençant réciproquement. Ce papier étudie la conception des réseaux de l'individu interactif utilisée dans l'analyse d'Alan Kirman (2001) dans le cadre de relations de loyauté entre les acheteurs et les vendeurs sur le marché aux poissons de Marseille, en utilisant le cadre du test d'identité que j'ai appliqué précédemment …
Identity And Commitment: Sen's Conception Of The Individual, John B. Davis
Identity And Commitment: Sen's Conception Of The Individual, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper develops a conception of personal identity for Amartya Sen’s capability framework that emphasizes his self-scrutinizing aspect of the self and related concept of commitment, and compares this conception to the collective intentionality-based one advanced in Davis (2003c). The paper also distinguishes personal identity and social identity, and contrasts Sen’s framework with recent standard economics’ explanation of social identity in terms of conformity. Sen’s concept of commitment is examined in two formulations, and the later version is related to Bernard Williams’ thinking about identity-conferring commitments. The paper’s concludes by arguing that explaining personal identity as a special capability and …

An Empirical Study Of The Dynamics Of International Stock Markets Interdependence, Michael Hutchinson, Farrokh Nourzad
An Empirical Study Of The Dynamics Of International Stock Markets Interdependence, Michael Hutchinson, Farrokh Nourzad
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper examines the interaction between international national stock markets using daily data and a VAR model. The results indicate that the speed of adjustment to equilibrium after a shock is about two days, indicating that markets are highly efficient at processing international information. Moreover, the US market appears to be the most important in the system, while Japan is very independent and does not have much effect on the other markets in the sample. Finally, the recent Asian financial crisis appears to have amplified the importance of the Asian markets to the rest of the global exchanges.

Money Demand Stability Under Currency Substitution: Some Recent Evidence, Santi Chaisrisawatsuk, Subhash C. Sharma, Abdur Chowdhury
Money Demand Stability Under Currency Substitution: Some Recent Evidence, Santi Chaisrisawatsuk, Subhash C. Sharma, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This study deals with the issue of independent monetary policy and the stability of the domestic money demand function in the presence of currency substitution and capital mobility in five Asian economies. It is argued that money demand will be less stable and more difficult to control in the presence of international variables. The money demand function is derived using the portfolio balance approach. The results from the cointegration analysis reveal that capital mobility and currency substitution are significant factors in the domestic money demand equations for Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. The results also show that the US …
Gasoline Prices, State Gasoline Excise Taxes, And The Size Of Urban Areas, James Mcgibany
Gasoline Prices, State Gasoline Excise Taxes, And The Size Of Urban Areas, James Mcgibany
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
A monocentric model of land use that assumes urban spatial size is determined by a set of exogenous variables is employed to test the hypothesis that urban land size is negatively related to gasoline prices. Using a model from Brueckner and Fansler (1983), the amount of urbanized land area is shown to be a function of population, income, agricultural land prices and commuting costs. The latter is measured as the price of gasoline, broken into two components; the amount of any state gasoline excise tax imposed plus the total price paid by consumers minus such a tax. Using 1990 data, …
A Global Lottery And A Global Premium Bond, Tony Addison, Abdur Chowdhury
A Global Lottery And A Global Premium Bond, Tony Addison, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Proposals are evaluated, from both an economic and an ethical viewpoint, for development funding through a global lottery, along with a complement to this: a global premium bond (a loan instrument in which the interest takes the form of a lottery prize, the capital being repayable on request, so that it has the characteristics of a savings product, which makes it potentially attractive to ethical investors). The chapter starts by looking at how a global lottery might work, evaluating the issue by discussing lottery operators and their regulation, the market for lotteries, competition between the global lottery and national lotteries, …

Wto Accession: What's In It For Russia?, Abdur Chowdhury
Wto Accession: What's In It For Russia?, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Prospects for Russia’s membership in the WTO now look better than any point since accession negotiations began almost a decade ago. Good progress with economic and legal reforms within Russia has left the country’s economy better prepared for membership. Nevertheless, the economy still suffers from various weaknesses including, but not limited to, pervasive subsidies for different sectors, lack of liberalization and foreign participation especially in the service sector, inefficiency in custom administration, lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights, etc. For all their sensitivity, the negotiations on the import tariff levels and access to the service sectors are the least …

Openness, Growth, And Development: Evidence From A Panel Of Developing Countries, Farrokh Nourzad, Jennifer J. Powell
Openness, Growth, And Development: Evidence From A Panel Of Developing Countries, Farrokh Nourzad, Jennifer J. Powell
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper examines the interaction between openness, growth, and development using a panel of forty-seven developing countries and five-year averages for the period, 1965-1990. Its primary objective is to determine whether there is a direct link between the level of development and openness, while controlling for the indirect effect of openness through its impact on economic growth. Using a two-equation simultaneous-equations model of development and growth and three alternative measures of openness, our findings suggest that openness has a positive influence on both economic growth and human development. We also find that while economic growth makes a positive contribution to …
The Determinants Of Immigration-Policy Preferences In Advanced Economies: A Cross-Country Study, Joseph P. Daniels, Marc Von Der Ruhr
The Determinants Of Immigration-Policy Preferences In Advanced Economies: A Cross-Country Study, Joseph P. Daniels, Marc Von Der Ruhr
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper employs survey data to examine the determinants of immigration-policy preferences among ten advanced economies. Ordered probit specifications suggest that skill level is a robust determinant of immigration-policy preferences and that less-skilled workers are more likely to express a preference for policies that restrict immigration. The results also suggest that older individuals, members of trade unions, and those who classify their political ideology as conservative are more likely to favor limiting immigration while non-citizens are less likely to favor such policies. Individual country-level regression results vary, in particular with regard to the influence of trade union member- ship, which …
Currency Substitution, Seigniorage, And Currency Crises In Interdependent Economies, Joseph P. Daniels, David D. Vanhoose
Currency Substitution, Seigniorage, And Currency Crises In Interdependent Economies, Joseph P. Daniels, David D. Vanhoose
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper applies a two-country framework that allows for currency substitution in an environment in which policymakers optimally vary interest rates in light of utility-based objectives, one country pegs the value of its currency to the other nation’s currency, and government revenue is generated via explicit taxes and seigniorage. The analysis illustrates the roles that currency substitution, currency preferences, and efficiency of tax systems play in contributing to the likelihood of a “run” on one nation’s currency. We explore how these factors interact to influence the probability of a currency crisis in the country that fixes its exchange rate.
The Long-Run Behavior And Short-Run Dynamics Of Private Savings In Morocco, Mina Baliamoune-Lutz, Abdur Chowdhury
The Long-Run Behavior And Short-Run Dynamics Of Private Savings In Morocco, Mina Baliamoune-Lutz, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
The paper examines the trend in private savings in Morocco in the presence of financial sector development by utilizing a cointegration and error-correction modeling framework. Specifically, the hypothesis that there is stable relationship between the level of private savings and its determinants including a measure of financial reform is investigated. The statistical results provide evidence in favor of a long-run relationship between private savings and most of its determinants. More importantly, the financial reform index, as measured by financial depth, is found to have a positive impact on the level of private savings. This indicates that the financial reform program …
