The Case for Regional Policies
In Britain, as in other countries, we have become acutely aware in recent years of the existence of a ‘regional’ problem—the problem, that is, of different regions growing at uneven rates; with some regions developing relatively fast and others tending to be left behind. In some ways this problem of fast and slow growing regions has not led to the same kind of inequalities in regional standards of living, in culture or in social structure, in the…

Productivity and Growth in Manufacturing Industry: A Reply
Professor Wolfe attacks me (in May, 1968 issue of Economica) for being obscure and unconvincing in inaugural lecture which I gave at Cambridge.1 In this lecture I attempted to put forward complex thesis concerning causes of high and low rates of under capitalism, and this was necessarily somewhat scanty; there is limit to material one can pack into single lecture. Such treatment could only be successful if received with imagination and some goodw…

International Trade and Economic Development
A Recebt study by the U.N. Secretariat provides ample proof, if further proof were needed, that the problem of the economic development of the low-income countries cannot be solved without these countries becoming not only producers, but also exporters of manufactured goods, on an important scale.1 At present 86 per cent of the exports of the 'developing countries'2 consists of primary products, and only 14 per cent of manufactured goods. But the…
Taxation for Economic Development
Problems of taxation, in connexion with economic development, are generally discussed from two different points of view, which involve quite distinct, and often conflicting, considerations: the point of view of incentives and the point of view of resources. Those who believe that it is the lack of adequate incentives which is mainly responsible for insufficient growth and investment are concerned with improving the tax system through the granting…
Will Underdeveloped Countries Learn to Tax
THE importance of public revenue to the underdeveloped countries can hardly be exaggerated if they are to achieve their hopes of accelerated economic progress. Whatever the prevailing ideology or political color of a particular government, it must steadily expand a whole host of non-revenue-yielding services?education, health, communication systems and so on? as a prerequisite for the country's economic and cultural develop ment. These services m…

Professor Hayek and the Concertina-Effect
IT was more than ten years ago that Professor Hayek first fascinated the academic world of economists by a new theory of industrial fluctuations which in theoretical conception, and perhaps even more in its practical implications, was diametrically opposed to the current trend of monetary thought.

Market Imperfection and Excess Capacity
OF all the doctrines emerging from recent work on the economics of imperfect competition, none appears more intellectually striking or more significant from a practical point of view than the doctrine of excess capacity. It is intellectually striking, because it admits possibilities which the traditional laws of economics seem to have excluded: e.g. that an increase in supply may be followed by a rise in price.' And it is practically significant,…

RECOGNITION that the unrealistic assumptions in regard to the nature of competition form one of the main deficiencies of the traditional theory of value, and are directly responsible for some of the apparent inconsistencies between the conclusions of theory and experience, constitutes one of the most significant advances of post-War economic thought. Traditional theory-tacitly rather than explicitly-was built upon the assumption that the elastici…

I. THAT the Trade Cycle is chiefly characterised by undue periodic lengthening of the period of production is the well-known tenet of the contemporary Austrian School.2 According to this theory, credit expansion, through its effect on the structure of interest rates, leads producers to adopt methods of production which are more roundabout; the profitability of these methods can only continue, so long as the process of credit-expansion continues (…

The Trade Cycle and Capital Intensity: A Reply
IT would take up too much space to reply adequately to all the questions raised by Mr. Hawtrey; I will restrict myself to four points. The first two concern analytical technique; the last two are on matters of substance. (i) I have no fundamental objection to the use of the ratio of initial cost to annual receipts, rather than the ratio of initial cost to annual cost, as a measure of capital intensity, if Mr. Hawtrey prefers it. Indeed, I have in…
A Note on Tariffs and the Terms of Trade
i. In the foregoing paper Dr. Benham raises the question whether the advantage accruing to a country througlh improvement in the terms of trade, consequent upon the imposition of a tariff, could compensate for the disadvantage arising on account of a smaller volume of trade. It can be demonstrated that the introduction of a system of import duties will always improve the position of the country imposing it, provided that the rate of duty is below…
