Endogenous ambiguity under commodification of probabilistic information
On Uncertainty and Enterprise as Ventures Beyond the Known
Continuity postulates and solvability axioms in economic theory and in mathematical psychology
On Measuring the Social Opportunity Cost of Labour in the Presence of Tariffs and an Informal Sector (The Distinguishedl Lecture)
Harberger introduced his influential 1971 essay with the following words. This paper is intended not as a scientific study, nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a tract - an open letter to the profession, as it were - pleading that three basic postulates be accepted as providing a conventional framework for applied welfare economics. The postulates are: (a) The competitive demand price for a given unit measures the value of that unit …
Development Policy in a Multi-provincial Economy (Invited Lecture)
In this paper, we present a stylized model for the study of development policy in a less developed country with several (rural) provinces, each with its own local economy, and a federal (urban) sector with a relatively more developed economic structure. A distinguishing characteristic of the model is that labour from each province is easily distinguishable from that of any other on the basis of (say) language, race, ethnicity, caste, gender or si…
Completeness and transitivity of preferences on mixture sets
On a forest as a commodity and on commodification in the discipline of forestry
On the centipede game with a social norm
The Irony in/of Economic Theory
The Irony in/of Economic Theory
Paul Samuelson chose as an epigraph to his 1947 book Foundations of Economic Analysis the physicist Gibb's assertion that Mathematics is a Language. Read on its own, a question arises as to why this claim is in itself at all relevant to the foundations of economic analysis. It is clear that if it is to be answered, however precursorily or tentatively, the sentence cannot be detached from the work to which it serves as an epigraph. One possible at…
Foreign Investment in the Presence of an Informal Sector
In the context of a segmented economy in which the urban unemployed subsist in informal-sector activities, Earl Grinols (1991) has recently questioned conventional wisdom whereby foreign investme nt with repatriated earnings is necessarily immiserizing for the host country. In this paper, the authors extend Grinols's analysis and pl ace it in a broader context, permitting richer conceptions of informal-sector activities. Their principal finding i…
Education, Income, and Desired Fertility in Egypt
Tariffs, foreign capital and immiserizing growth with urban unemployment and specific factors of production
Son Preference and the Demand for Additional Children in Pakistan
This paper tries to take into account the sequential element in fertility decisions and continues an investigation originally begun by Namboodiri. We examine the extent to which the "desire to have additional children" can be explained by a variety of economic, sociological, and demographic variables. The probit maximum likelihood estimation procedure is utilized, and the analysis is based on cross-sectional data on 2,910 currently married women …
