This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation With contributions from 35 leading economists, this forward-looking book explores the future of development economics against the background of the past half-century of development thought and practice. Outstanding representatives of the past two generations of development economists assess development thinking at the turn of the century and look to the unsettled questions confronting the next generation. The volume offers a thorough analysis of the broad range of issues involved in development economics, and it is especially timely in its critique of what is needed in development theory and policy to reduce poverty. An overriding issue is whether in the future development economics is to be regarded simply as applied economics or whether the nature and scope of development economics will constitute a need for a special development theory to supplement general economic theory. Frontiers of Development Economics is an ideal reference for all those working in the international development community. A Copublication of the World Bank and Oxford University Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Donner Prize for the best book on public policy by a Canadian in 2014.Whenever governments change policies - tax, expenditure, or regulatory policies, among others - there will typically be losers: people or groups who relied upon and invested in physical, financial, or human capital predicated on, or even deliberately induced by the pre-reform set of policies. Theissue of whether and when to mitigate the costs associated with policy changes, either through explicit government compensation, grandfathering, phased or postponed implementation, is ubiquitous across the policy landscape. Much of the existing literature covers government takings, yet compensationfor expropriation comprises merely a tiny part of the universe of such strategies.Dealing with Losers: The Political Economy of Policy Transitions explores both normative and political rationales for transition cost mitigation strategies and explains which strategies might create an aggregate, overall enhancement in societal welfare beyond mere compensation. Professor Michael J.Trebilcock highlights the political rationales for mitigating such costs and the ability of potential losers to mobilize and obstruct socially beneficial changes in the absence of well-crafted transition cost mitigation strategies. This book explores the political economy of transition costmitigation strategies in a wide variety of policy contexts including public pensions, U.S. home mortgage interest deductions, immigration, trade liberalization, agricultural supply management, and climate change, providing tested examples and realistic strategies for genuine policy reform.
Download or read book Vertical Linkages in Agri foods Supply Chains in Canada and the United States written by Jill E. Hobbs and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the nature of vertical linkages in agriculture, ranging from spot markets to vertical integration, and discusses factors leading to increased vertical co-ordination. It then reviews the applied & theoretical literature relating to vertical co-ordination, including transaction cost economics, strategic management theory, and convention theory. A conceptual framework is also developed for examining the forces behind closer vertical relations. The framework has four components: environmental drivers, product & transaction characteristics, and vertical co-ordination mechanisms. The framework is applied to the United States corn & soybean sectors to reveal the importance of technological change. Finally, the report examines the implications of closer vertical linkages for pricing, government policy, and markets.
