The Capitalist Manifesto
Geoffrey Carliner of Boston Committee on Foreign Relations reviews “The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World” by By Johan Norberg. The EconLit abstract of this book begins: “Assesses the role of freedom and choice in capitalism, promoting the view that arguments against capitalism fail to take into account how capitalist competition has largely led to improvements in global standards of living.”
The Language Ability of U.S. Immigrants
This article uses data from the 1980 and 1990 U.S. Censuses of Population to examine the English language skills of natives and immigrants. It finds that lack of fluency in spoken English is rare among native-born Americans, including among the teenage and adult children of recently arrived ethnic groups. The vast majority of immigrants also speak English well. However, since the 1950s fluency among new immigrants has declined by 0.3 percentage p…
The Language Ability of U.S. Immigrants
This paper uses data from the 1980 and 1990 U.S. Census of Population to examine the English language skills of natives and immigrants. The first main finding is that lack of fluency in spoken English is rare among native- born Americans. In 1990, 98.4 % of natives aged 18 to 64 reported to the U.S. in large numbers during the past 30 years, such as Hispanics and East Asians a substantial fraction were not fluent when they entered grade school, b…

Designing a Tax Incentive Scheme
Governments are constantly attempting to use their tax systems for purposes other than the collection of revenue. Each such use entails difficult decisions of both design and administration. Consideration of a tax-based policy that might reduce wage inflation-a so-called TIP-serves to reveal the wide range of difficult choices that need to be made. In addition to problems of measuring the behavior of the tax payer who is to be benefited or penali…
Determinants of Household Headship
This paper examines the factors which determine whether or not married couples or unmarried adults head their own households. It also discusses causes of the rise in headship rates since 1940. Shifts in age composition, location, race, and marital status have not contributed to the rise, but increased incomes, especially from pensions and welfare, have. In 1970, many of the 1.6 per cent of married couples without their own households were poor or…
Income Elasticity of Housing Demand
This paper estimates a housing demand function from a four year panel study.The findings indicate that the income elasticity of housing demand is around .6 or .7 for owners and around .5 for renters.This means that the percentage of income spent on housing declines as income rises, and that the property tax falls more heavily on the poor than on the rich.This finding differs from earlier studies which were based on city averages rather than panel…
