This book was released on 1972 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tries to combine political and economic matters. It examines first the political and historical limitations which any government faces; it then examines the function of the State in a market-type economy; it questions the need as well as the possibility of setting too clearly defined targets. This leads to an examination of different types of investments, and to an examination of the major function of governmental policies in achieving growth. Investment projects and a reasonably efficient and logically organized budget are seen to be the central means of getting things done.

Download or read book Planning and Budgeting in Poor Countries written by Naomi Caiden and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1980-01-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantial treatment of budgeting in poor countries and discussion of the relationship between planning and budgeting covers over eighty nations and three-fourths of the worlds population. While there are many treatments of planning, the approach of this study is radically different. The authors argue that the requisites of comprehensive economic planning do not exist in poor countries, and that in the effort to create them, planners merge into the environment they have set out to change. Caiden and Wildavsky provide a unique and thorough examination of planning and budgeting by governments of poor countries throughout the world, and recommend reforms that are workable and realistic for these countries. They analyze the political, economic, and social developments that influence budgeting and planning in developing countries.

This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents, for the first time, multi-dimensional indices of the quality of budget institutions in low-income countries. The indices allow for benchmarking against the performance of middle-income countries, across regions, and according to different institutional arrangements that deliver good fiscal performance. Using the constructed indices, the paper provides preliminary empirical support for the hypotheses that strong budget institutions help improve fiscal balances and public external debt outcomes; and countries with stronger fiscal institutions have better scope to conduct countercyclical policies.

Download or read book Economic Policy Reform in Mexico written by Leopoldo Solís and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Policy Reform in Mexico: A Case Study for Developing Countries is a five-chapter text about political economy that tries to assess the economic developments in Mexico, especially the attempt at economic reform in the early 1970s. The first chapter examines the period of Stabilizing Development to provide a framework necessary for judging the environment in which the attempts at economic reform were undertaken. This chapter is a piece of applied economics that tries to assess the too frequent attacks against that phase of economic policy. The following three chapters discuss the economic policy objectives of Echeverria's administration, the attempt at tax reform, and the change in the structure and practices of public spending. The final chapter evaluates the experience and draws some inferences about the nature of decision making in economic policy and the constraints faced by a government that wants to use economic policy as an instrument for the promotion of social welfare. This book will prove useful to economists, historians, and researchers.
Download or read book New Fiscal and Economic Strategies for Growth in Developing Countries written by S. S. Kothari and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyses recent changes in India's economic policy and performance, and their implications for economic growth in the nineties, focusing on economic liberalization and the transition from a command to market economy. The author believes that the recent liberalization and rationalization in economic policies in general and fiscal policies in particular have boosted the performance of the Indian economy and further liberalization will enable it to perform significantly better as the decade proceeds. Although the major part of the discussion revolves around India, the principles and strategies discussed are largely applicable to most developing countries of South and South-East Asia. The book is divided into two parts and covers a wide canvas. Part I discusses inter alia the growth theories, models, and principal doctrines of leading growth economists like Arthur Lewis, Rostow, Schumpeter, Nurkse, and Galbraith, and provides a historical perspective covering a period of about two centuries which saw the emergence of Capitalism, Socialism, Mixed Economy, and the ideas and theories of Adam Smith, Keynes, Marx, Mill, Milton Friedman, and others. Against this backdrop it analyses the macroeconomic aspects of economic policies and problems confronting developing countries, advocates remedial measures and planning strategies to accelerate the momentum of growth, and provides a critical analysis of the existing policy framework and performance of the Indian economy per se and in the context of the international economic environment in which it operates. Part II is concerned with fiscal policies for growth in developing economies, including evaluation and suggestions for reform of theIndian tax system. Of particular interest is discussion of two canons of taxation based on empirical evidence and an original theory of the Corporate Nucleus Capital (CNC) Super-Multiplier advanced as a useful instrument of fiscal policy in Chapter 20. The penultimate chapter discusses current economic perceptions and future perspectives for the country, including the need for a synthesis between employment and growth; the final one providing an overview of the New Economic Policy enunciated in June 1991. Pleasantly and accessibly written, the work as a whole thus juxtaposes the present and projections of the future with the historical backdrop to provide a well-rounded picture, replete with rich and practical insight. It will therefore appeal not only to economists and government planners but also students and others interested in the growth prospects of India and other developing countries.
Download or read book Economic Planning and Industrial Policy in the Globalizing Economy written by Murat Yülek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses national development planning in the context of a globalized world economy. National economic development planning, the process of defining strategic economic objectives for a country and designing policies and institutional frameworks to attain them, was popular in many countries in the 1960s and 1970s. Over time it lost its appeal. More recently, with globalization accelerating and economic competition increasing, it is making a comeback in different countries under different forms. National planning in this new era is different than the earlier quantitative planning approaches. It employs different tools, such as strategic visions and action plans, revived forms of physical infrastructure planning, industrial policy, and cluster policy. Built on the research of international scholars with firsthand knowledge of the countries in question, this volume presents and evaluates current national planning strategies and policy worldwide. It will be of interest to both academicians who study and teach globalization and development as well as policy makers who may use it as a reference as they contemplate their own strategies.
