Modeling Disaster Habitation for Improved Mitigation Project Analysis
Natural disasters devastate communities by damaging built infrastructure systems that support residential habitation, forcing people to evacuate from their homes, find alternative housing, and eventually rehabitate. Disaster mitigation projects can reduce damage to built infrastructure and community recovery time. Most mitigation projects are analyzed using monetary measures, thereby not fully accounting for benefits due to other factors, such as…

Globalization: Meaning and measurement
While there is much that is new about globalization, there is much about it that is familiar. As in the past, while globalization produces both winners and losers, aggregate gains exceed aggregate losses, and gains and losses occur within both rich and poor countries. While the rich tend to grow richer, so do the poor. Absolute measures of income inequality often increase with globalization, though they are not caused by it

Market and Non-Market Failures: Comparison and Assessment
This paper aims to redress the asymmetry in the standard economic treatment of the shortcomings of markets and governments by developing and applying a theory of ‘nonmarket’ failure– that is, of government failure – so that the comparison between markets and governments can be made more systematically, and choices between them arrived at more intelligently. Several conclusions are drawn. First, the choice between markets and governments is not a …

The Efficient Diversification of Bids in Treasury Bill Auctions
IN selling bills, the U.S. Treasury employs a discriminatory auction. The Treasury awards bills in the amounts and at the prices bid, beginning with the highest price and proceeding to consecutively lower prices, until the issue is allotted. A common practice -of bidders in the weekly auctions is to strip-bid; that is, to bid approximately equal amounts around the anticipated stop-out price, the lowest price at which bills are awarded. Although a…

The Demand for Funds in the Public and Private Corporate Bond Markets
THE purpose of this paper is (1) to determine whether corporations' decisions to borrow in the public or private corporate bond markets are significantly influenced by yield differentials between the two markets and (2) whether the sensitivity of corporations to yield differentials increases with the relative ease with which they can borrow in either market. In recent years, the influence of interest rates on corporation financing decisions has r…

Soviet Economic Aid in Southeast Asia: Threat or Windfall
THE new Soviet diplomacy in Asia involves an active effort to extend economic aid to a select group of countries who qualify as non-allied with the United States, or, in some sense of the term, as “neutralists.” To date, the Soviet Bloc has made aid commitments in South and Southeast Asia of over $500 million to India, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Burma. Virtually all the aid has been committed in the past two years; most of it since ear…

Public Policy and Economic Development in the Philippines
THERE ARE PROBABLY few who would argue that the Philippines has been exactly the showcase for democracy in Asia that had been hoped for when it became independent on July 4, 1956. But if its performance has fallen short of the more optimistic hopes, the record has nevertheless been far better than the pessimistic warnings of the past decade. Indeed, if the Philippine record of the past ten to fifteen years is compared with that of other newly ind…

Some Aspects of the “Value” of Less-developed Countries to the United States
If one thinks seriously about any of the major international trouble spots in the world today, one soon confronts the problem of what really is the “value” of, for example, Cuba, Berlin, or Laos to the United States. The view put forward in this article is that, while the question is unanswerable in a rigorous and precise sense, some useful things can be said in approaching it, and in trying to distinguish between more and less unsatisfactory ans…

A Model for Selecting Commercial Bank Government Security Portfolios
T HE object of this paper is to formulate a normative model for selecting a bank's Government security portfolio. Two major problems arise in constructing a model of bank portfolio selection. First, the model must handle uncertainty. This includes not only uncertain future events but also the decision maker's preferences for the outcomes associated with these events. Second, it must recognize the intertemporal or multi-period character of the dec…
