  • Foreign Aid and the Failure of State Building in H aiti from 1957 to 2015

    Open AccessTerry F BussARTICLELatin American Policy2015References: 1

    After receiving at least U . S .$38 billion in aid for reconstruction and development over the past 60 years, H aiti remains a fragile state, one of the worst globally. The reasons for aid failure are legion but mostly relate to highly dysfunctional H aitian regimes, at times destructive U . S . foreign policy and aid policy, and ongoing issues about how to deliver aid, all in the context of devastating natural disasters. The overriding cause of …

  • Exporting American Economic Development Practice to Russia

    Open AccessTerry F BussARTICLEReview of Policy Research2001References: 2

    The failure of US initiatives to build local/regional economic development capacity in Russia following the fall of Communism has been partly blamed on national factors, Russian culture, and American consultants. Much of the failure, however, probably resulted because American approaches to economic development—‐highly successful in other contexts—could not work during Russia's transition from a command economy to its current state. Such things a…

  • Development and the Role of Microcredit

    Open AccessDouglas R Snow, Douglas Snow et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal2001Cited by: 11References: 23

    Microcredit is a concept that has gained widespread acceptance by international development agencies and major donors. It is viewed as a way to correct both governmental and market failure in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Many view microcredit as a method for linking the formal and informal sectors of African economies to increase the reach of the formal sector. Extending the reach of the formal economy through microcredit is possible, and desirable, depen…

  • Bank loans to entrepreneurs in rural america

    Open AccessTerry F Buss, Laura C YancerARTICLEJournal of Public Budgeting…1999

    Numerous government programs channel capital into rural communities, assuming that new businesses face major capital shortages in starting up. More such programs are enacted annually. This paper looks at business start-ups in Idaho, Montana and Iowa to see the extent of market failure in rural America. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we found capital to be widely available for start-ups, suggesting that government programs are not warranted

    Open AccessTerry F Bu, Terry F BussARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1986Cited by: 1References: 5

    The accuracy of local unemployment rates published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been questioned because of their heavy reliance on secondary data sources. It has often been suggested that this criticism could be tested if the BLS's survey methodology for determining national rates were applied to local labor markets. This study employs that methodology more rigorously than previous studies to estimate unemployment in the Youngstown/Warre…

    Religious organizations have always played a major role in the formulations of public policy.
