The Political Economy Of Reforms: A Case Study Of Pakistan, Ishrat Husain

Faculty Research - Books

The wholesale views of the relative success or failure of adjustment policies or its causes are challenged by a number of empirical studies. These studies demonstrate that there is considerable variation in the economic results of adjustment programmes, and this variation is explicable in terms of the context. quality, and sustained application of adjustment policies. This lecture focuses on the political economy aspects of the sustainability of economic reforms by introducing three basic hypotheses, and testing them with the Pakistani evidence. According to these hypotheses, variation in the result of economic policy reforms depends on: (i) a set of initial …

Openness, Convergence, And Economic Growth In Asian Economies, Lih-Jen Lin

Masters Theses

Openness offers countries opportunities to trade with the outside world, and stimulates growth through easier access to new technologies and skills. In order to verify the effects of openness on economic growth in Asian economies, this study uses the ratio of foreign direct investment to GDP, and the ratio of the sum of imports and exports to GDP as proxies of openness.

This study begins with the hypothesis that opening domestic markets will have a significant positive impact on Asian economic growth, and the lower the starting level of real per capita GDP, relative to the long-term position, the faster …

A Benchmarking Study Of The Lehigh Valley, Jason Faberman, Stephanie Laski

University Avenue Undergraduate Journal of Economics

This study benchmarks the Lehigh Valley to nine other metropolitan areas within the United States. These areas represent a wide array of economic growth levels.

Hartford, Flint, Rochester and the Lehigh Valley represented low growth cities. Three analyses attempted to identify reasons for economic growth. The study period included the years 1970 through 1995. All three analyses looked at regional growth relative to the nation. A study of each region’s industry mix compared the diversity of this mix to the overall employment growth of …

The Effects On Labor Of Post-Industrial Globalization: A Comparison Of Marxist And Non-Marxist Paradigms, Louis Hyman

University Avenue Undergraduate Journal of Economics

In this paper I will be examining the changes in labor conditions that have occurred during the last ten years, how they are intimately linked to new notions of information technology and the rise of a global economic perspective. I will compare the [Marxist and non-Marxist] trains of thought as well, and attempt to provide a notion of where I believe them to be sufficient and lacking. If these new notions of globalized post-industrial labor resolve the antagonism between Labor and Capital, they would signal a critical shift in the socioeconomic dynamics of the world, similar in importance to the …

What Does Smart Growth Mean For Housing?, Karen A. Danielsen, Robert E. Lang, William Fulton

Public Policy and Leadership Faculty Research

Barely noticed amid the returns from the 1998 midterm elections was a quiet revolution that goes to the heart of how and where Americans live. While most news accounts focused on the high-profile candidate elections, voters across the nation-in Democratic and Republican areas alike-approved more than 160 state and local ballot measures intended to preserve open space and limit urban sprawl.

The coalition forming around the idea of limiting sprawl includes environmentalists, farmers, big-city mayors, and some developers. But perhaps most important, the so-called "smart growth" movement also includes many suburban voters who are fed up with growth. For example, …
