The region and trade
Two traditions have shaped trade theory. Adam Smith highlighted the division of labour and David Ricardo comparative advantage. Ricardo initially had the greater impact, but over the last three dec

Assimilation of Foreigners in Former West Germany
Migration movements to industrialized countries have grown in number and size, and the presence of large numbers of immigrants has raised concerns about their integration and assimilation into host societies. This article is an empirical study of assimilation of foreign nationals in Germany. Their experience may hold lessons for other relatively recent immigration destinations. As expected, language is one of the most critical factors for determi…
Refugees
Unless literally forced to leave, prospective refugees have a choice between staying and flight, subject to constraints, particularly the willingness of a country to grant asylum. Although all options may be unpleasant, they nonetheless represent alternatives amenable to economic analysis. The incentive to flee is a function of threat severity and credibility, and the attractiveness of available safe havens. The theoretical analysis suggests that…
Exploring Gap Analysis to Evaluate Participant Satisfaction Regarding Community Development Planning Programs
This research examines the effect of participants' expectations on their satisfaction regarding community development planning programs. The marketing literature establishes that satisfaction depends on whether experiences meet or exceed expectations, a concept operationalized as “gap analysis,” but studies have not previously considered that participants' expectations and experiences may drive their satisfaction regarding economic development pl…

Ethnic Minority Small Business
Significant ethnic minority business growth has occurred in the United States in the post-World War II period. The self-employment pattern of ethnic minority business, particularly the success of Asian-immigrant small business, is currently explained by two different hypotheses: the social resources explanation and the class resources explanation. While the former approach attributes the large number of small business enterprises and their succes…

Qu'il Me Baise des Baisers de sa Bouche
L'histoire du Cantique des cantiques au XVIe siecle n'avait encore suscite aucune etude d'importance. Apres avoir dresse un repertoire bibliographique de toutes les editions du texte et de ses commentaires, entre 1468 et 1600 (annexe de deux cents pages avec plus de sept cents entrees), l'auteur constate que le Cantique fut autant commente que l'Epitre aux Romains ou l'Evangile de Jean au siecle des Reformes! Il fallait rendre compte de cet engou…

Behavior of Land Developers
Previous attempts to describe or model planning behavior have failed to focus on a decision variable for the activity of planning itself. Attempts to use economic theory to explain planning by modeling only the phenomena being planned for have not been useful in explaining or understanding planning behavior. The model developed in this paper for land development planning makes explicit the decision to plan at each stage of the development process…

Barriers and Foresight in International Labor-Migration
In the presence of barriers to mobility, migration behavior depends importantly on a worker's planning horizon. Although a myopic worker will accept the job offer promising the greatest immediate utility, a worker with foresight also values the opportunities that a job offers, to gain access to more highly valued alternatives. A model of labor migration based on these ideas, shows the importance of institutional arrangements and lends itself to t…

A Dynamical Model of Labor-Market Change in International Labor Migrations When Demand for Labor is Exogenous
Relatively little is known about the long-run behavior of international labor migrations. One of the biggest concerns in immigration debates relates to the continued pressure on the borders of the wealthy countries. This immigration pressure will decline significantly only if the poor nations manage to provide more high-wage jobs. An earlier model of international labor migration is used to derive additional insights into the growth and decline o…
If Cities are So Great, Why are People Leaving? A Comment
Tregarthen (1977) claims that an increase in agglomeration economies may be the cause of migration to smaller cities. In this comment I show that his analysis does not lead to this conclusion
