Capital Flight in the Presence of Domestic Borrowing
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…

Intertemporal approach to the balance of payments
The paper analyses the intertemporal approach to the balance of payments which is based on the intertemporal approach to the relation between domestic saving and investment. A key element of the presented analysis is whether world capital mobility is high enough to hold a condition that the relation between the domestic saving and investment in a country could vary. The paper contributes to this economic theory by the empirical analysis carried o…
Foreign investment and perceptions of vulnerability to foreign exchange crises
The article discusses different causes of financial crises and shows that the imputation of reinvested profits of the subsidiaries of foreign firms as a debit item on a host country's balance of payments account tends to overstate the current account deficit and to make the host country seem more vulnerable to financial crisis. It also shows that, because of the workings of the foreign direct investment financial life cycle, this phenomenon is mo…

The exchange rate and the balance of trade
In this article, we examine the responsiveness of Turkey's trade balance to devaluation accompanied by trade liberalisation. Our results show that the trade balance was responsive to changes in the exchange rate that were brought about by the economic reforms introduced in the 1980s, suggesting that exchange rate policy was able to create and maintain a satisfactory balance of trade position in the 1980s and early 1990s

Is Private Farming More Efficient than Socialized Agriculture
This paper examines the technical efficiency of state and private farms in Poland for the period 1960-74. The author s find that the average technical efficiency of the two types of farms does not differ, although the dispersion of efficiency levels is greater among state farms than among private ones. The authors do fi nd clear evidence of allocative inefficiency, with state farms oversupplied with fertilizer and machinery. Copyright 1993 by The…
The Transformation from Communism to Capitalism
A prominent American specialist on Soviet and East European economies argues that there are important gains to be obtained from rapid market liberalization and privatization in the transition from communism to capitalism. These gains depend on the responsiveness of firms to market signals. A review of the available evidence suggests that rapid privatization is an important factor promoting such responsiveness. The paper also refutes "evolutionary…
Central Planners as Market Stabilizers
The ability of planners in Poland and the U.S.S.R. to recognize and act to eliminate market disequilibrium in the markets for grain and meat is tested by means of an econometric model of grain and meat production, consumption, and trade. Planners' perceptions of excess demand for grain, meat, and foreign exchange are shown to influence production and trade decisions in a way that tends to reduce excess demand or supply. Nevertheless, the markets …
Allocative efficiency—It isn't so
IN A RECENT ISSUE of Soviet Studies, Robert Whitesell reviewed a number of econometric and statistical studies of the allocative efficiency of the Soviet economy and concluded that this body of work supports the conclusion that 'some aspects of the Soviet economy may be allocatively efficient relative to market economies'.' This startling assertion that the economy of the USSR is allocatively efficient, perhaps more so than that of developed mark…
The Economic Transition of Czechoslovakia from Plan to Market
The Communist government of Czechoslovakia was ousted in the so-called Velvet Revolution of November 1989, and the new regime adopted as its goal the transformation of the economy to one based on markets and private property, and also one more dynamic and productive than its predecessor. This unprecedented transformation poses a variety of intellectual, political and economic questions. At the same time that the economic system is being transform…

Technological Progress and Factor Utilization in Eastern European Economic Growth
Frontier production functions are estimated for the industrial sector of four East European countries: Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Poland. The estimates reveal that the slowdown in industrial growth in these countries is due to a decline in the efficiency or intensity of factor utilization rather than to declining rates of growth of technological progress. In all countries, changes in the efficiency of resource ut…

Socialist Agriculture in Transition
Interpreting the Soviet subsididzation of Eastern Europe
In trade among the members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA), prices of raw materials are lower and those of manufactured goods higher than comparable world prices. Because the Soviet Union is a net exporter of raw materials to, and net importer of manufactures from, the other CMEA countries, it benefits less from CMEA trade than it would from trading with the rest of the world, and the other CMEA members benefit more. This red…
The Variability of Crop Production in Private and Socialized Agriculture
The hypothesis that crop production is more variable under socialism than under capitalism because of systemic differences between incentives and the structure of property rights in private and socialized farms is tested in two ways. The first test compares the variability of output for seven crops in five eastern European countries for a period when agriculture was private with a period when it was socialized. The second test compares the variab…
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…
The benefits of long-term developmental planning
The Interface of Different Systems
United States trade relations with the Communist countries are not very extensive but require policymakers' attention because of the adversary relationship between the West and the Soviet bloc and because systemic differences between market and planned economies make trading relations more complex. The United States has sought to use its greater economic strength vis-à-vis the Communist countries to achieve short-term political objectives. These …
