This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and American Enterprise Institute publication When should government intervene in market activity and when is it best to let market forces take their natural course? How does the existing empirical evidence about government performance guide our answers to these questions? In this clear, concise book, Clifford Winston offers his innovative analysis—shaped by thirty years of evidence—to assess the efficacy of government interventions. Markets fail when it is possible to make one person better off without making someone else worse off, thus indicating inefficiency. Governments fail when an intervention is unwarranted because markets are performing well or when the intervention fails to correct a market problem efficiently. Winston concludes from existing research that the cost of government failure may actually be considerably greater than the cost of market failure: "My search of the evidence is not limited to policy failures. I will report success stories, but few of them emerged from my search." The prevalence of market failure is due to a lack of conviction in favor of markets, the inflexibility of intervening government agencies, and political forces that enable certain interest groups to benefit at the expense of society as a whole. Winston suggests that government policy can be improved by making greater use of market-oriented solutions that have already produced benefits in certain situations.

Download or read book The Economic Effects of Environmental Expenditures on the Construction Industry written by James Jondrow and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1978 and 1985, municipal governments and private industry will spend about $111 billion dollars on construction of new facilities to reduce air and water pollution as mandated by the EPA. This report presents estimates of how these projected expenditures will affect the total level of construction and how employment, wages, interest rates, and other variables will respond to the change in construction output. Effects on employment in selected sub-classes of the construction industry were also estimated. The response of the construction industry to increased spending for pollution control was estimated by use of an econometric model of the industry. The model, developed for this study, was simulated to predict the effects of projected spending through 1985. The results suggest that construction output will rise by less than the EPA mandated expenditure. The difference is due, in part, to displacement of spending that local governments would otherwise have done and, in part, to absorption of the increase by rising wages and prices in construction. There is also some displacement of industrial expenditures for pollution abatement because of the increased cost of building a new plant. The results also suggest that employment in the construction industry is increased. Employment of young, black, inexperienced workers increases more than would be expected based on their representation in the construction labor force. (Author).
