Jevons's Applications Of Utilitarian Theory To Economic Policy, Sandra J. Peart

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The precise nature of W. S. Jevons's utilitarianism as a guiding rule for economic policy has yet to be investigated, and that will be the first issue treated in this paper. While J. A. Schumpeter, for instance, asserted that 'some of the most prominent exponents of marginal utility' (including Jevons), were 'convinced utilitarians', he did not investigate the further implications for Jevons's policy analysis.¹

An Economic Impact Analysis Of The Proposed Yakima/Klickitat Fishery Enhancement Project; Preliminary Design Report, Appendix D., Richard S. Mack, Donald J. Cocheba, Daniel Green, David W. Hedrick

Economics Faculty Scholarship

The objective of this study is to estimate the economic impact of the proposed Yakima/Klickitat Production Project on the local economies of the Yakima and Klickitat subbasins. The project, when operating at planned maximum production, will augment the total number of salmon and steelhead returning to the subbasins by 77,600 and will increase the sustainable terminal harvest by 55,160. These estimates do not include fish harvested in the ocean or in the mainstem Columbia. In addition to evaluating the impacts of the construction, operations and maintenance, experimentation and monitoring, and harvest activities described in the Draft Environmental Assessment (Bonneville Power …

Planning: New Imperative, Abid Hussain

IIMB Management Review

Planning must take note of the fact that while the economy is integrating, the indian polity is fragmenting and society is becoming more divisive. The fragmentation of polity and assertion of separate group or community identities are perhaps a part of an inescapable process. How this fragmentation and divisive aspects of society are to be managed in a national perspective, is an
the emerging challenge for planning.

                                                      The need right now is to stimulate further growth. Without higher growth, we will end up only redistributing poverty. Taking into account the growth performance of the Indian economy since 1980. It is …

Filling In The Hollowed-Out Corporation: The Competitive Status Of U.S. Manufacturing, Murray L. Weidenbaum

This paper looks at the status of American manufacturing in 1989, given falling costs to production, improvements in product quality, and a surge in research and development.

Improving Competitiveness, Congressional Style, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Seemingly in order to demonstrate its concern with huge trade deficits, Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988. While the object of the legislation is ostensibly to reduce trade deficits and enhance American competitiveness, the new statute actually responds to all sorts of pressure groups. This report examines the impact of the new trade law on a multitude of government agencies.

The American Economy: Is A Turning Point At Hand?, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

American businesses are making adjustments to the global marketplace. Politically, the big question is whether or not the Cold War is finally ending. Can the United States successfully shift key resources to the civilian economy? Will the lower military demand lead to a worldwide recession or will it free up resources for a period of stronger growth? There are signs of a potential slowdown in the short term. In the long term, open markets seem to be prevailing, with three dominant clusters emerging: Europe, U.S./Canada, and the Pacific rim.

The Case Against Another Business-Government Partnership, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

This policy paper examines the myths surrounding business-government partnerships or federal bailouts. It also provides some insights into what does work in their place. Democratic political systems were not built to make critical choices between particular firms or industries in a competitive market. Business-government partnerships do just that.

[Introduction To] The Medical Offset Effect And Public Health Policy: Mental Health Industry In Transition, Jonathan B. Wight, John L. Fiedler

Bookshelf

Does the timely treatment of mental illness result in a drop in the cost of health care, and if so, what is the cost effectiveness? This study provides an overview, synthesis, and analysis of the medical offset effect. It demonstrates that a medical offset effect does exist and the size of the effect is significant. A behavioral model provides a precise method for ascertaining the dimensions of medical offset and an explanation of the underlying causal relationships. The offset effect for an important population group is analyzed through the use of Medicaid patient data from Georgia and Michigan. This clear, …

Protecting The Environment: Harnessing The Power Of The Marketplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Americans want a cleaner environment but do not necessarily want to pay more or be inconvenienced. Economists feel that providing economic incentives to manufacturers to reduce pollution can be helpful.

The Effect Of Government Deficits On Consumption And Interest Rates: A Two Equation Approach, Dean D. Croushore

Economics Faculty Publications

Single-equation estimation of the consumption function often is used in testing the Ricardian equivalence theorem. This approach may be misleading, as effects on interest rates usually are ignored. This paper proposes simultaneous estimation of consumption and investment equations, with the interest rate serving to equilibrate the market. Five existing studies are replicated and subjected to sensitivity tests. The results show that the interest rate is important in the consumption function. The Ricardian equivalence theorem is tested, but the results are mixed.
