Economic Freedom of the World, 2003 Annual Report

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This 7th global economic freedom report, by James Gwartney and Robert Lawson, ranks 123 nations for 2001, the most recent year for which data are available. The report also updates data in earlier reports in instances where data have been revised. The key ingredients of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to compete, and protection of the person and property. Economic freedom liberates individuals and families from government dependence and gives them charge of their own future.Empirical research shows this spurs economic growth by unleashing dynamism. It also leads to democracy and other freedoms as people are unfettered from government dependence. This is the most comprehensive economic freedom measure in the world, and the only one that uses reproducible measures appropriate for peer-reviewed research. [detailed...]

2008 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: Meet the economic gangster.

Economic Geography and Public Policy

2005 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: Research on the spatial aspects of economic activity has flourished over the past decade due to the emergence of new theory, new data, and an intense interest on the part of policymakers, especially in Europe but increasingly in North America and elsewhere as well. However, these efforts--collectively known as the `new economic geography`--have devoted little attention to the policy implications of the new theory. Economic Geography and Public Policy fills the gap by illustrating many new policy insights economic geography models can offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make sense of real-world situations. The book not only provides much fresh analysis but also synthesizes insights from the existing literature. The authors begin by presenting and analyzing the widest range of new economic geography models to date…. [detailed...]

David Eltis
Economic Growth &, End of Transatlantic Slave Trade

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This watershed study is the first to consider in concrete terms the consequences of Britain`s abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Why did Britain pull out of the slave trade just when it was becoming important for the world economy and the demand forlabor around the world was high? Caught between the incentives offered by the world economy for continuing trade at full tilt and the ideological and political pressures from its domestic abolitionist movement, Britain chose to withdraw, believing, in part, that freed slaves would work for low pay which in turn would lead to greater and cheaper products. In a provocative new thesis, historian David Eltis here contends that this move did not bolster the British economy, rather, it vastly hindered economic expansion as the empire`s control of the slave trade and its great reliance on slave labor had played a major role in its rise to world economic dominance. Thus, for sixty years after Britain pulled out, the slave economies of Africa… [detailed...]

Economic Growth And Distribution: On the Nature And Causes of the Wealth of Nations

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economic Growth and Distribution isolates and compares the logical structures and methodological underpinnings underlying the relationship between economic growth and distribution. It carries out an in-depth analysis of a wide range of issues connected with growth theory considered from different theoretical perspectives. Its uniqueness is derived from the original contributions by a number of scholars of different persuasions, some within the mainstream and others from Keynesian-Kaleckian-Sraffian positions. The book deals with a wide variety of research topics concerning economic growth and distribution, such as the transition from the epoch of Malthusian stagnation to the contemporary era of modern economic growth, comparisons among the classical tradition, modern theory, and heterodox models, problems of policy, dynamics and business cycles, and the role of institutions. For its emphasis on comparisons and complementariness among alternative theories of growth and… [detailed...]

Nicholas R. Lardy
Economic Growth and Distribution in China

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study maintains that China`s system of economic planning tends to mitigate the trade-off between economic growth and equity that has been found to prevail in the early stages of development in most less developed countries. The analysis focuses on the Chinese leadership`s attempt to improve economic efficiency by decentralizing economic management without encouraging, as a consequence, increased economic inequality among different regions. By examining the budgetary and planning process, focusing inparticular on the fiscal relations between the centre and the far-reaching degree of resource redistribution undertaken by the central government through its control of interprovincial and intersectoral resource transfers. Professor Lardy`s analysis highlights the essential features of Chinese economic growth and relates these to the experience of both developing and Soviet-type economies. The study begins by exploring the implications of alternative systems of resource allocation in… [detailed...]

Economic Growth and Valuation of the Environment: A Debate

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The debate on the valuation of nature and the environment, sustainable national income and economic growth is one of prime importance in environmental economics. Economic Growth and Valuation of the Environment deals with the fundamental approaches to calculating sustainable national income and their implications for the valuation of the environment. Leading economists present their views on how the UN system of national accounts could be adjusted to include environmental impacts and the depletion of natural resources. The discussion centers on the appropriateness of national income as an indicator for welfare, and specific attention is paid to the question of how to value changes in environmental quality or emissions of pollutants. Centered around the topics raised by the seminal publications of Roefie Hueting, this book will be of great interest to environmental economists and students focusing on environmental and natural resource economics. Environmental policymakers will… [detailed...]

Economic Growth and the Environment - An Empirical Analysis (ECONOMY &, ENVIRONMENT Volume 18)

Publisher: —
Description: Is economic growth good for the environment? A number of economists have claimed that economic growth can benefit the environment, recruiting political support and finance for environmental policy measures. This view has received increasing support sincethe early 1990s from empirical evidence that has challenged the traditional environmentalist`s belief that economic growth degrades the environment. This book reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on growth and the environment, giving an in-depth empirical treatment of the relationship between the two. Various hypotheses are formulated and tested for a number of indicators of environmental pressure. The test results indicate that alternative models and estimation methods should be used, altering previous conclusions about the effect of economic growth on the environment and offering an insight into the forces driving emission reduction in developed countries.

Economic Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean: Stylized Facts, Explanations, and Forecasts (World Bank Country Study) (World Bank Country Study)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe 1960s and 70s were decades of solid growth rates for Latin America and the Caribbean region as a whole. This changed in the 1980s, when the growth rate of output per capita fell to negative values and its volatility increased notably.However, Latin America?s economic growth became positive again in the 1990s, with truly remarkable turnarounds in Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Peru. This recovery was driven in most cases by large increases in the growth of total factor productivity, reflecting the initial benefits from the process of economic reforms initiated in the 1990s. Economic Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean analyzes whether economic reforms have been beneficial to growth in the region. Indoing so, it recognizes that growth is driven by a variety of factors ? in some cases poor growth is due to insufficient structural reforms (e.g., low trade openness), in others to inappropriate stabilization policies (e.g.,… [detailed...]

Economic Growth, Income Distribution and Poverty Reduction in Contemporary China (Routledge Studies in the Chinese Economy)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: China has experienced over a quarter century of rapid economic growth, which has a phenomenal impact on the global economy. Entering into the 21st century implies that China has begun a new phase of economic and social development. Vast improvement in people`s living standards, however, has been coupled with two critical problems: inequality and poverty. The key question is not that people should be pessimistic about China`s future growth and prosperity, but that people should consider which direction that China will go. Is it going to become one of the most un-egalitarian countries like Brazil and Mexico, or one of the most dynamic and relatively egalitarian economies like South Korea and Taiwan. This book reviews the economic development history of contemporary China from 1949 up to today, paying special attention to the interface among growth, inequality and poverty reduction. A real China economic miracle should have two important features: high income growth and a fair… [detailed...]
