  • Big Economic History

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review2020

    This paper reviews the history of human economic activity from the time Homo sapiens appeared to the present. The first aim is to provide a coherent narrative of the economic history of this period. The second aim is to quantify economic activities where time series data is available and to use economic theory to explain the trends and turning points. It examines the history of three central time series – the aggregate human population, output pe…

  • Excise Tax Harmonisation in Australia at Federation

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review2017

    Constitutional changes at the time of Federation in Australia required the harmonisation of the excise tax rates of the former Colonies. This paper outlines the excise tax systems of the Colonies before Federation and that of the Commonwealth after Federation. Estimates are made of the consumer tax equivalent rates and of the implicit rates of protection in each Colony and in the Commonwealth after Federation. The Commonwealth Government harmonis…

  • The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review2017

    This paper reviews the history of tariffs imposed by the six Australian colonies during the nineteenth century. In each of the colonies, we identify the starting dates for the first tariffs, first preferences, and other features, and the turning points in the levels of tariffs. We then construct a time series of the average tariff levels in the individual colonies and an average for all six colonies combined. The conclusion notes general features…

  • Houses of Straw

    Peter Lloyd, Arlene OakARTICLEDesign and Culture2016Cited by: 1References: 7

    The UK television program Grand Designs, in which participants engage in the design and construction of their dream houses has, over a period of fourteen years, done much to educate a lay audience about the design of domestic buildings. In this paper we analyze two episodes of the program, both featuring houses constructed using straw bales. Our analysis considers three ways in which the show frames design issues and participants for the viewer. …

  • The Discovery of the Isoquant

    Peter LloydARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2012Cited by: 2References: 17

    This article examines the first appearances of the isoquant, a concept that is central to production and supply theory. It appears to have been discovered independently by Bowley, Frisch, Cobb, and Lerner, in that order. Frisch coined the term isoquant. It is possible but not likely that Frisch took the concept from Bowley, and Lerner may have taken it from R. G. D. Allen. The article also discusses why the discovery of the isoquant was not made …

  • Years of Tariff Protection in Australia

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEAustralian Economic History Review2008

    This paper presents time series of tariff rates in Australia from the time of Federation. As a preliminary to the construction of economy‐wide series, it constructs series for three broadly representative goods throughout the 100 years: passenger motor vehicles, blankets, and beer. It then constructs two economy‐wide series, one for all imports and another for dutiable imports only. It discusses the main events relating to turning points in the s…

  • The growth of speaker and listener skills from five to eleven years

    Open AccessPeter Lloyd, Sandi Mann et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1998

    The development of children's ability to become effective speakers and listeners once they have acquired language has been widely investigated using the referential communication paradigm. However, there has not been a systematic investigation of these abilities across the entire primary school age range. Given the importance of oral information in the classroom, the facility with which children encode and decode messages autonomously needs to be…

  • Referential communication as teaching

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEFirst Language1993

    A communication task requiring the negotiation of route directions by telephone was given to related and unrelated adult- child (8 years) pairs. Both parties performed in the roles of sender and receiver of information. It was predicted that related pairs would achieve greater success owing to their previous history of shared experience. There was no difference in success at route- following as a function of relatedness. But kinship did affect th…

    The interaction between macroeconomic and agricultural sector reforms is of vital importance to developing and East European economies, whose agricultural sectors account for major shares of economic activity and income. Derived from a conference organised jointly by the Centre for Economic Policy Research and the OECD Development Centre, the papers in this volume adopt an open economy perspective to reform, and throw light on the sequencing of r…

  • The role of clarification requests in children's communication of route directions by telephone

    Peter LloydARTICLEDiscourse Processes1992Cited by: 1References: 3

    It is argued that studies of referential communication have suffered from a too narrow conception of the exchange of verbal information. This has been reflected in the tasks used, the medium of exchange, the subjects’ relationship with the adult investigator, and the analytic procedures. Use of telephones and a route‐following task that encouraged extended dialogue helped to offset these limiting influences in a study of pairs of communicating 7‐…

  • Strategies used to communicate route directions by telephone

    Open AccessPeter LloydARTICLEJournal of Child Language1991

    Standard outcome measures used in a referential communication (route finding) task showed that 7-year-olds were inferior to 10-year-olds and adults in terms of adequacy of messages provided (as speakers) and selection of referent (as listeners). Because the task involved negotiation of route directions by telephone, a richer dialogue resulted than is usual in referential communication studies. This made possible an analysis of the strategies used…
