Book excerpt: Economic development has the potential to improve lives. Three issues that directly affect economic development are conflict, trade, and innovation, the subjects of the three chapters in this dissertation. Conflict causes enormous suffering, but the study of peacekeeping is plagued by endogeneity issues. The first chapter in this dissertation uses an instrumental variables approach to estimate the effectiveness of U.N. peacekeepers at ending episodes of conflict, maintaining the peace once peace has been obtained, and preventing another episode from ever re-occurring. I find that the likelihood of being sent U.N. peacekeepers varies with temporary membership in the U.N. Security Council and exploit this variation in my estimation. This variation also suggests that the leaders of countries in conflict often do not want their country to receive peacekeepers. The results indicate that even though peacekeepers are often unwanted, they help to maintain the peace after an episode of conflict has ended and reduce the likelihood that the conflict resumes. After peace, trade is also considered crucial to development. In the standard trade literature, more productive firms should export over less productive firms, all else equal. This premise appears in Melitz (2003), Luttmer (2007), and Eaton et al. (2009), among others. However, we know that developing countries often suffer from market distortions (Hsieh and Klenow, 2009). The theory behind the second chapter of this dissertation combines Hsieh and Klenow-like distortions with a Melitz-like model that accords productivity a key role. Under this model, firm productivity matters less in the decision to export in sectors with greater distortions and firms facing greater distortions exhibit less of the productivity-based "churning" and re-allocation that Melitz predicts. The implication is that trade is less beneficial to productivity in developing countries. These predictions are tested using plant-level data from Colombia. Finally, new products have been shown to increase welfare in a few studies. One branch of the literature has focused on estimating the welfare effects of very narrow and specific new products; another has estimated elasticities of substitution across a large number of varieties and then imputed gains from the new varieties that appear in the data. However, one might suspect that the most important innovations occurred over a much longer period of time than has been studied to date. Thus, the final chapter of my dissertation focuses on a different question. It assigns an innovation date to each good and asks the question: how would welfare be affected if one were restricted to the set of goods available at an earlier time period? I modify the methodology in Feenstra (1994) and Broda and Weinstein (2006a) to answer this question. The estimates suggest that innovations are more important to welfare than previously thought. I also find that the price index that takes varieties into consideration favoured by the literature can yield deeply misleading results.

Book Synopsis Trade, Globalization and Development by : Rajat Acharyya
Download or read book Trade, Globalization and Development written by Rajat Acharyya and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written in honour of Professor Kalyan K. Sanyal, who was an excellent educator and renowned scholar in the field of international economics. One of his research papers co-authored with Ronald Jones, entitled “The Theory of Trade in Middle Products” and published in American Economic Review in 1982, was a seminal work in the field of international trade theory. This paper would go on to inspire many subsequent significant works by researchers across the globe on trade in intermediate goods. The larger impact of any paper, beyond the number of citations, lies in terms of the passion it sparks among younger researchers to pursue new questions. Measured by this yardstick, Sanyal’s contribution in trade theory will undoubtedly be regarded as historic. After completing his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester he joined the Department of Economics at Calcutta University in the early 1980s and taught trade theory there for almost three decades. His insights, articulation and brilliance in teaching international economics have influenced and shaped the intellectual development of many of his students. After his sudden passing in February 2012, his students and colleagues organized a symposium in his honour at the Department of Economics, Jadavpur University from April 19 to 20, 2012. This book, a small tribute to his intellect and contribution, has been a follow-up on that endeavour, and a collective effort of many people including his teachers, friends, colleagues and students. In a nutshell it discusses intermediation of various kinds with significant implications for market integration through trade and finance. That trade can generate many non-trade-service sector links has recently emerged as a topic of growing concern and can trace its lineage back to the idea of the middle product, a recurring concept in Prof. Sanyal’s work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . this volume is a very good and important addition to economic growth and development. On the basis of authority, the selection is well-balanced. . . This book should be a mandatory textbook for graduate students in development economics, and essential reading for all policy-makers. Voxi Heinrich Amavilah, Progress in Development Studies This valuable and engaging new book bears eloquent testimony to A.P. Thirlwall s substantial contribution to economics over the last 40 years. The volume does not attempt to provide a comprehensive review of such a prolific figure, but rather demonstrates the considerable influence that his work on economic theory has had on his contemporaries, and the profession as a whole. From his early pioneering research in regional and labour economics to his more recent exploration of growth and development economics, leading experts in the field bear witness to the significant role he has played in the evolution of the discipline. In addressing some of the most pivotal aspects of his career, the contributors cover a range of topics including Thirlwall s Law , the application of Keynesian macroeconomic approaches, the General Theory within open economies, the connection between short-run cycles and long-run growth, endogenous growth theory, the Stability and Growth Pact, as well as broader development issues and problems. In championing Thirlwall s challenging work, this volume provides a lively and comprehensive account of some of the most important areas of economics today. This book will prove an essential read for academics and policy makers alike who are interested in trade, growth and development economics.
