From Conventional to Unconventional Monetary Policy
Would Borderless North America Kill Canadian Culture
This paper starts from the premise that in the near future closer economic and security integration between Canada and the U.S. is inevitable. The border as we know it could conceivably disappear. We ask whether Canadian culture, broadly defined, might disappear with it. In Canada, debates around culture form part of a larger national debate on how closely the country should integrate, economically and otherwise, with the United States, and to wh…
Distributional effects of dollarisation
Over the past two years Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala have adopted the US dollar as a legal currency in their countries. Several other Latin American countries, including Argentina, are currently discussing dollarisation. In this policy paper we look at the existing evidence for answers to two basic questions. First, under what general circumstances might dollarisation make sense? Second, are there clearly differentiated winners and losers f…
The Asian Financial Crisis
Organizational Cynicism
What is the nature of the extremely negative attitudes expressed by so many employees toward their organizations?To respond to this question, we introduce the concept of organizational cynicism.We review the literature from several disciplines on this concept and suggest that organizational cynicism is an attitude composed of beliefs, affect, and behavioral tendencies toward an organization.Following our review and conceptualization, we derive im…
Asia's financial crisis in historical perspective
This article places the debate between prescribing illiquidity and prescribing insolvency in historical perspective, by comparing Asia's current debt crisis with Latin America's during the 1980s. It is then suggested that none of the Asian economies is in any meaningful sense ‘insolvent,’ and that those who oppose the IMF‐led ‘bailout’ fall into three equally misguided camps; ‐ fiscal conservatives, left wing moralists, and right wing academics. …

Human Resource Management, Manufacturing Strategy, and Firm Performance.
This study examines two alternative views—universal and contingency—of the human resources (HR)-performance relationship in manufacturing settings. Results from a survey of 97 plants primarily support a contingency approach to human resource management (HRM). An HR system focused on human capital enhancement was directly related to multiple dimensions of operational performance (i.e., employee productivity, machine efficiency, and customer alignm…
Recent capital flows to Asia Pacific countries
The 1990s has seen a resumption of voluntary private capital flows to developing countries, notably to Latin America and to the Asia Pacific. Their sustainability was called into question by the Mexican crisis and exchange rate collapse of 1994–5. This paper suggests that sustainability may, somewhat paradoxically, be related to restrainability, in the sense that, with a fixed or managed exchange rate, short‐term surges in both inflows and outflo…

Social Interaction and the Perception of Job Characteristics in an Organization
This research investigates the relationship between the extent of employees' social interaction and their perceptions of job characteristics. Employees' perceptions were compared with the perceptions of task characteristics made by an outside observer, whose perceptions were not subject to the same social influence processes. The results indicated that the perceptions of employees who were more central to communication networks, boundary-spanning…
Interest Groups and Political X‐inefficiency
This paper analyses the Interest Group approach to political choice, an approach that has recently been adopted by economists. The paper argues that Interest Group theorists have overlooked, and sometimes denied, the potential of their approach to distinguish between optimal and non‐optimal (or ‘inefficient’) policy outcomes. The analysis is illustrated with examples from banking regulation
