Industrial policy
Neoclassical Economic Perspectives on Industrial Policy
Conventional welfare economics has always recognized that the real world is characterized by market imperfections, which provide a rationale for policy intervention. The early analysis of this focused on tax-subsidy solutions and the implications of domestic ‘distortions’ for the case for free trade. The full implications of market imperfections for policy were brought out clearly in the early 1970s by Corden’s concept of the ‘policy hierarchy’. …
Some unresolved questions in practical project appraisal
Aid projects are still assessed by a methodology for project economic analysis developed largely in the 1970’s. Many such projects are in infrastructure sectors producing goods that are internationally non-traded and whose benefits are valued on the basis of approximate estimates of consumer willingness to pay. An omission in one influential strand of this literature was the distinction between analyses with and without the inclusion of indirect …

Investment climate in China
This paper uses a large firm-level survey to assess differences in performance across regions. A panel data analysis is conducted to explain both productivity and profitability across firms in terms of firm and industry characteristics. Regional dummies are included to pick up additional location-specific impacts and the size of these dummies is used to rank provinces. Province performance is then examined in terms of geography, infrastructure, t…
Poverty Strategies in Asia
It is widely recognized that while high and sustained economic growth is critical for poverty reduction, there are other policy interventions that may also be significant in a "growth plus" approach to poverty reduction. This volume brings together a series of case studies on the poverty impact of alternative interventions in a broad range of Asian economies. The measures examined within the book cover trade liberalization both in general and in …

Trade Reform and Manufacturing Performance in Mexico
Since the trade liberalisation of the mid 1980s the trade regime facing Mexican manufacturers has changed dramatically. The economy has moved from one where import substitution behind tariffs and some licensing restrictions was the norm to a highly open trading environment with virtual free trade between Mexico and its largest trade partner the USA and modest tariffs of around 10 per cent with other countries. Since the late 1980s manufactured ex…
Cost—benefit analysis and assessing privatisation projects in transitional economies
In many transitional economies, privatisation is a strategic non-marginal activity that involves a dramatic shift in policy. Cost—benefit calculations are at the very least an important tool for formalising questions about privatisation policy. They should shed light on issues such as alternative modes of privatisation, including the reformed state sector option, and the magnitude of the gains to different groups. When foreign investors are invol…

Mozambique
A few years ago, sympathetic commentators could write with credibility of the respectable comparative performance of socialist developing economies, particularly in relation to industrialization (White, 1984; Jameson and Wilber, 1981; and Gurley, 1979). However, since the revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe and the change in the Soviet Union and some developing economies, the socialist path to development has looked particularly uncertain. In A…
Foreign investment in Nepal in the 1980s
During the 1980s, like many other developing countries Nepal attempted actively to attract direct foreign investment. This article reports the results of a survey of the foreign‐owned firms in operation at the end of the 1980s. The motives of firms for their investment decisions in Nepal are summarised. The impact of foreign investment is assessed quantitatively using both financial and economic cost‐benefit criteria. In general, it appears that …
Trade Policy Reforms and Performance in Africa in the 1980s
For the countries of Africa the 1980s was a decade of depening economic crisis. The international economic environment became increasingly hostile, with declining terms of trade, recession in the industrial countries, and heavy debt-servicing burdens. Domestically, many economies were disrupted by severe drought conditions and civil disturbances
Trade policy reform and performance in manufacturing
This article examines the impact of the major trade liberalisation that has been introduced in Mexico since the mid‐1980s on efficiency in the manufacturing sector. Alternative indicators of efficiency are estimated and changes in these indicators are explained by regression analysis, including various measures of the degree of liberalisation. The conclusion is that thus far liberalisation has had a positive, but relatively weak effect on perform…

Japan's post‐war protection policy
This article examines some of the implications of Japan's postwar development for contemporary developing countries. Whilst acknowledging the qualitative differences in economic structure between Japan in 1945 and today's developing countries it argues that many of Japan's decisions on economic strategy throw light on current debates regarding the merits of free trade or protectionism as strategies for developing countries. It stresses however th…

Origins of the French Welfare State
Nowhere did Revolutionary France better reflect the generosity and optimism of the Enlightenment than in its social policies. If in some fields (such as education) these policies produced a limited number of real accomplishments, however, the First Republic's hopes for a new system of poor relief met almost complete frustration. Alan Forrest's recent study of the Revolution's impact upon the poor concludes that the implementation of a shift from …

Karl Marlo, Guild Socialism, and the Revolutions of 1848
The notion that the German liberals of 1848 failed because they were mere men of ideas and hence incapable of managing the grim realities of power politics has become dogma. We tend to accept this interpretation unthinkingly, I suspect, because it fits so well our modern anti-idealist bias in favor of the “practical realist” in politics – one, that is to say, who is adept at maneuvering safely among existing forces without attempting to add the f…
Dialectical Idealism and the Work of Lorenz von Stein
Dialectical idealism as applied to social theory may be provisionally defined as an attempt to explain the evolution of Western society through the use of dialectical forms which rely upon the presumed motive power of spiritual, mental, or ideal forces. These forces are presumed to “realize themselves” in the historical process. Hegel and Fichte, of course, first made such concepts familiar. The mighty influence of Marx and dialectical materialis…

An Innocent Eye? The Career and Documentary Vision of Georges Rouquler up to 1945
During the years following the defeat of 1940 the French film industry proved as resilient as the French army had been brittle.1 Despite the emigration or purge of many of its most distinguished figures, war damage to nearly four hundred theaters, censorship by both the Vichy regime and the Germans, sharply increased production costs, and the virtual elimination of any possibility of an export market, the film industry bounced back from the inact…
