Effort, Technology and the Efficiency of Agricultural Cooperatives
The inefficiency of cooperative agriculture relative to private farms is often attributed to difficulties in monitoring or poor incentives. We develop a model to show that, in technologies with numerous sequential steps, even small shortfalls in worker effort can result in large output declines. Using data on cooperative and private farms in El Salvador, we find greater shortfalls in efficiency between cooperatives and private farms, as well as a…
A note on the effects of graduation under the US GSP on Africa
The Trade and Tariff Act of 1984 includes a new measure, country graduation, designed to shift a greater share of the benefits of the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) from the more advanced developing countries to poorer beneficiary countries. This note presents estimates of the effects of graduating Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan on the poorest countries of Africa. Our results show that the removal of these four countries…
An Estimate of the Dynamic Effects of Economic Integration
Economic Integration among Developed, Developing and Centrally Planned Economies
We examine six integration schemes and decompose their ability to increase inter-member trade into environmental, policy and system effects. Environmental factors caused the greatest variation in trade creation, with inter-member distance the most important environmental variable. The CACM and EFTA have followed more effective integration policies than the EEC, LAFTA and the Andean Pact. Although integration can thus benefit developed and develop…
Immiserisation and the emergence of multinational firms in a less developed country
This paper investigates the resource allocational implications of the expansion of the multinational firm sector within a less developed country. Because many of the questions raised with respect to this type of investment can only be dealt with in a general equilibrium framework, i.e. by considering the effect on aggregate employment and national income, a general equilibrium model is developed that captures the unique features of that type of i…
