The Defense Industrial Base For The 1990s, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Although the bottom is not about to fall out of the military market, a tough period of belt tightening has begun. The severity of these adjustments will vary based on the size and relationship of businesses to the defense industry. Ultimately, the military procurement process must be reformed. First, by streamlining the rules. Second, by upgrading the caliber of the people involved in the process. And finally, by changing the incentive structure facing the people who produce the equipment.
Earth Summit, Global Warming, And The Citizen: Economics, Science And Emotion, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Earth Summit, Global Warming, And The Citizen: Economics, Science And Emotion, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
A barrage of news stories, editorials, and even business advertisements is proclaiming that this is our last chance to save the planet. Examining the evidence for global warming, this paper finds a lack of convincing data to allow any conclusive analysis. Regarding the Earth Summit, it outlines six reasons why the conference is unlikely to achieve its stated goals.
The Case For Taxing Consumption, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Case For Taxing Consumption, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The governments of most industrialized nations, especially in the European Community, use consumption taxes far more than the United States. Yet a low-saving, slow-growing economy such as the United States would benefit greatly from shifting the national revenue system from taxing income to taxing consumption. That change would provide a powerful incentive to increase the nation's saving and investment and, therefore, economic growth and living standards. This report examines the pros and cons of consumption taxation and also analyzes the major policy alternatives to structuring a new tax of that type.

"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum
"Earth Summit": Un Spectacle With A Cast Of Thousands, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Under the guise of cleaning up the environment, the UN sponsored the first-ever "Earth Summit" in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. The conference, officially titled the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), was estimated to have been the largest conference ever held in the world at the time. UNCED's wide-ranging agenda obscures any real focus for the meeting, which attempted to synthesize economic and environmental globally. Given this unprecedented scope, much of the material leading up to the conference was hysterical, emotionalized, and unscientific in nature.

A Bipartisan Approach To Economic Policy, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Government needs to invest more in an expanding economy. This can be done by 1) devoting more of the budget to civilian R & D, education, and infrastructure; 2) restoring growth incentives such as an investment tax credit; 3) eliminating double taxation of dividends; 4) providing economic rationality to expanding government regulation; and 5) dealing with the inadequate education of a large portion of the labor force.
The Rising Presence Of Government In The Workplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Rising Presence Of Government In The Workplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Debates over government regulation are often erroneously framed as a battle between business and the public interest. For government officials, however, regulation is an easy way to advance policy agendas without spending much federal money. But every time the government imposes new standards on the workplace or increases employee benefits, it imposes a more expensive method of production on businesses. Politicians are able to simultaneously vote for the better treatment of employees and criticize "greedy" companies. Consumers, meanwhile, suffer by paying for these hidden taxes.

The New Wave Of Environmental Regulation: The Impacts On Business And Consumers, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The New Wave Of Environmental Regulation: The Impacts On Business And Consumers, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Following the regulatory excesses of the 1970s and the reforms of the 1980s, the policy pendulum is swinging back again. On the surface, the government imposing socially desirable requirements on business seems to be a cheap way of achieving national objectives. But every time a government agency attempts to safeguard the environment or foster occupational health or promote product safety, it imposes a more expensive method of production on businesses. Consumers, meanwhile, suffer by paying for these hidden regulations.
The Future Of The U.S. Defense Industry, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Future Of The U.S. Defense Industry, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The U.S. defense industry is at a fork in the road and faces the prospect of substantial declines. There are two approaches that can be taken: Convert to civilian production or cut back and slim down. Conversion has a great deal of appeal, as it keeps the jobs of defense workers in place. The cut-back alternative is an austerity measure designed to maintain the financial health of the defense firms. The purpose of this paper is to provide some guidance in the selection between these two alternatives.
