This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiji has distinct institutional features that make it an ideal case for examining and discussing the consequences of institutional arrangements (particularly the nature of property rights) for national economic performance, development prospects, and the state of the environment which in turn, reflects a nation's ability to achieve sustainable development. Furthermore, the nature of institutional arrangements in Fiji can be used to illustrate aspects of both the new and the 'old' institutional economics. Apart from the fact that Fiji provides considerable scope for the exploration of institutional economics and its applications, Fiji is a comparatively important island nation in the south-west Pacific, that is, an important member of the Pacific Island Forum grouping of 14 island nations. The recent development of Fiji has been much influenced by its social history, particularly by its institutional structures established or codified during British colonial rule. Its present racial composition is largely a product of British colonisation. of Indians brought to Fiji by the British to produce sugar cane as a contribution to the economic development of the former British Empire. In many respects, the type of global imperialism that was well established during the nineteenth century was a forerunner to modern economic globalisation which involves a mixture of free trading blocs and multilateralism. The current population mixture of Fiji consisting of about equal numbers of Indian Fijians and Indigenous Fijians has its roots in Fiji's colonial history. Furthermore, the codified systems of property rights (which largely excludes Indian Fijians from the ownership of land) was established by the British. It has been a major source of ethnic tension, and of social and political conflict in Fiji. We show that this system of property rights has had important negative consequences for economic growth in Fiji, for the economic performance of its industries, and for the conservation of its natural resources. natural resources which may not be equitable, and which also does not appear to be efficient administratively. This adds to social and political tension in Fiji.

Download or read book Equity Efficiency and Social Choice written by Donald Edward Campbell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents Professor Campbell's recent work on social choice in economic environments. It addresses the standard social choice questions in the framework of welfare economics; with emphasis on the allocation of public and private goods. But it goes beyond the standard issues to prove fundamental theorems on efficiency and equity in public policy analysis. Arrow's impossibility theorem discloses some elementary conditions under which the Pareto criterion implies that the social welfare function is insensitive to the preferences of all but a single individual. It is proved here that any degree of sensitivity to individual preferences implies that the social welfare function is independent of the preferences of all but one person even if efficiency is not required in any degree. In this and other ways, the absence of meaningful efficiency-equity trade-offs is demonstrated. The framework is a conventional allocation space with standard economic restrictions on the nature of individual preferences. Classical impossibility theorems, including Arrow's are proved en route to the main results. The book will be of interest to academic economists, especially those working in social choice theory and economic theory.

Download or read book Economic Theory and Policy written by Bhaskar Dutta and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the fifteen contributions to this volume explores a particular area of economic theory, presenting fresh insights and analyses. The first three chapters, on macroeconomics and policy, study the effects of wage-cuts, administered prices, deficit financing and other monetary measures taken by the government. Part II discusses the economics of equilibrium and welfare, analysing the implications for decentralization in growth models with non-equilibrium prices. In Part III on economic growth, the question of decentralization is addressed from a different perspective. Part IV examines industrial organization - the effect of innovation incentives; the pros and cons of restrictions on firms entering an industry; and the question of competitive reward schemes within organizations. Finally, there are three studies in international economics: on the relationship between the terms of trade and the real income of an LDC which is trading with a developed country; the problems with traditional theories of devaluation when applied to LDCs; and the effects of free trade on unemployment.

Download or read book The Years of High Econometrics written by Francisco Louçã and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1998-11-05 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and comprehensive history, this book explores the most important transformation in twentieth century economics: the creation of econometrics. Containing fresh archival material that has not been published before and taking Ragnar Frisch as the narrator, Francisco Louca discusses both the keys events - the establishment of the Econometric Society, the Cowles Commission and the journal Econometrica – and the major players - economists like Wesley Mitchell, mathematicians like John von Neumann and statisticians like Karl Pearson - in history that shaped the development of econometrics. He discusses the evolution of their thought, detailing the debates, the quarrels and the interrogations that crystallized their work and even offers a conclusion of sorts, suggesting that some of the more influential thinkers abandoned econometrics or became critical of its development. International in scope and appeal, The Years of High Econometrics is an excellent accompaniment for students taking courses on probability, econometric methods and the history of economic thought.
