Download or read book Openness for Prosperity written by Herbert Giersch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates the essential connection between theoretical academic research and the creation of economic policy, reflecting his belief that the study of economics should lead to improvement of the social order and of the quality of human life. Herbert Giersch is one of Germany's most prominent economists and an outstanding contributor to the debate on European economic policy. Openness for Prosperity brings together his major essays in macroeconomic policy, written or published over the past two and a half decades. In these twenty nontechnical essays, Giersch clearly demonstrates the essential connection between theoretical academic research and the creation of economic policy, reflecting his belief that the study of economics should lead to improvement of the social order and of the quality of human life. Some of the policy positions that Giersch favors are free trade, limits to government, and openness of economies to future possibilities.The chapters are arranged in two parts with the first focusing on economic growth and structural change and the second on issues of monetary policy, inflation, and exchange rates. The essays are arranged chronologically according to the dates of publication or writing to suggest how topics and emphases have changed over time.The first part, reflecting Giersch's support of Schumpeter's views, includes essays on aspects of growth, protectionism in foreign trade, the role of entrepreneurship in the 1980s, prospects and problems for European economic integration in the 1990s, the lessons to be learned from West Germany's transition to a market economy, and the author's vision of the European and world economies at the end of this century. In the second part, essays address such issues as flexible exchange rates, indexation, IMF surveillance over exchange rates, neglected aspects of inflation, the effect of central bank independence on monetary policy, and the relationship between real exchange rates and comparative economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central proposition of international trade theory is that trade allows a country to achieve a higher level of income than would otherwise be possible. Initial studies have shown evidence in support of a positive relationship between the volume of trade and the level of national income. However, numerous problems have prevented the estimation of a consistent relationship between trade and income. These problems include endogeneity, cointegration between trade and income, and the lack of an accurate measure of trade openness. This study investigates the relationship between trade and income in three distinct ways. First, the endogenous nature of trade in a simple growth equation is controlled for by constructing a predicted level of trade from a gravity model. The results show that greater trade does exert a positive influence on economic growth; however, once the effects of geography are controlled for in the growth equation the effect of trade becomes insignificant. Second, trade is included in a neoclassical production function to assess the dynamic and causal relationships that exist among exports, imports, and national income. The variables are first tested for the presence of unit roots and the possibility of cointegration. Subsequently, appropriate Granger causality tests are used to determine the causal patterns among the variables of the model. The results of the Granger causality tests indicate that both exports and imports are important determinants of national income for several of the countries examined in the study. Finally, the actual trade shares and the predicted trade shares from a large sample of countries are used to construct a new trade restrictiveness statistic. A higher value of the statistic indicates that a country has adopted more restrictive trade policies. The trade restrictiveness measure is included in a growth equation to assess the effects that trade policy has on the average annual growth rate of per capita income. The results of the estimation indicate that countries that began the sample period with more restrictive trade policies tended to grow at a faster rate than countries with less restrictive trade policies; however, the relationship is statistically insignificant.

Book excerpt: The main objective of this dissertation is to study effects of trade policy such as tariffs and subsidy, and foreign direct investments (FDIs) on the performance of domestic and global economies. The first two essays, Chapters 2 and 3, consider the endogenous growth model of North-South trade with quality ladders. The third essay, Chapter 4, studies effects of FDIs on international R & D spillovers. In Chapter 1, we state the aims and scopes of this dissertation and review the related literature. In Chapter 2, we analyze the steady state effect of tariff imposition in a dynamic general equilibrium model of North-South trade with scale invariant growth, developed by Segerstrom and Dinopoulos (2004). Assuming that each government uses tariff revenue to subsidize domestic R & D, we show that tariff imposition of the South leads to a higher imitation rate (in the South), faster technological change (or quality improvement) in the world, industry shift from the North to the South, and lower wage inequality between the North and the South. In Chapter 3, we study steady state effects of FDIs and globalization in a dynamic general equilibrium model of North-South Trade with scale invariant growth. We define FDI as movement of production base from the North to the South by a northern firm. Here, the incentive of FDI decision is to lower production cost. We define globalization as an increase in the southern population. Our numerical example shows that globalization leads to less copying of Northern products, a faster technological change, more industry shift from the North to the South through an increase in the number of multinational firms, and a larger wage inequality between the North and the South. In Chapter 4, we test the effects FDI on total factor productivity using more recent and more extensive data set than in Lichtenberg and Potterie (2001). We distinguish two patterns of FDI, one is FDI from a developed country to another developed country and the other is FDI from a developed country to a developing country. We summarize the results in Chapter 5. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling two-volume collection presents the major literary contributions to the economic analysis of the consequences of trade liberalization on growth, productivity, labor market outcomes and economic inequality. Examining the classical theories that stress gains from trade stemming from comparative advantage, the selection also comprises more recent theories of imperfect competition, where any potential gains from trade can stem from competitive effects or the international transmission of knowledge. Empirical contributions provide evidence regarding the explanatory power of these various theories, including work on the effects of trade openness on economic growth, wages, and income inequality, as well as evidence on the effects of trade on firm productivity, entry and exit. Prefaced by an original introduction from the editor, the collection will to be an invaluable research resource for academics, practitioners and those drawn to this fascinating topic.

This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the foreign assets and liabilities of advanced economies have grown rapidly relative to GDP, with the increase in gross cross-holdings far exceeding changes in the size of net positions. Moreover, the portfolio equity and FDI categories have grown in importance relative to international debt stocks. This paper describes the broad trends in international financial integration for a sample of industrial countries and seeks to explain the cross-country and time-series variation in the size of international balance sheets. It also examines the behavior of the rates of return on foreign assets and liabilities, relating them to "market" returns.

Book excerpt: The global financial crisis triggered a broad reassessment of economic integration policies in developed and developing countries worldwide. The crisis-induced collapse in trade was the sharpest ever since World War II, affecting all countries and all product categories. A huge shock to the trading system, combined with severe macroeconomic instability, makes it natural for policymakers to call into question the basic underlying assumptions of trade liberalization and openness. In particular, outward-oriented or export-led growth strategies are being reassessed as openness is increasingly associated with greater volatility. However, it is crucial not to lose sight of the dynamic benefits that openness can offer. Examples include technology transfer, increased competitive pressure that reduces markups and improves efficiency, and economies of scale. The real question is how to manage outward-oriented strategies so as to maximize the benefits of openness while minimizing risks. This book aims to contribute to this important and ongoing policy debate, bringing together recent empirical work on the trade collapse, its causes and consequences, and the broader trade policy agenda in the post-crisis environment. It addresses critical policy issues revolving around the topic of outward-oriented growth strategy, including policy instruments that help manage risks associated with outward-orientation, lessons learned from the crisis for particular countries and regions, and how emerging trade policy issues such as climate change, commodities, global production networking, and migration affect the prospects for recovery and outward-oriented growth.

The editors, Jeffry Frieden and Manuel Pastor, Jr., include an introductory chapter, and a concluding article as well as brief introductions to all sections. These inclusions will make explicit the theoretical underpinnings of each article, and will highlight their respective contributions to the ongoing debates in Latin America.Latin American economies are undergoing profound transformations. And, in the wake of a decade-long debt crisis, the statist models of the past are giving way to a reliance on the market even as authoritarian rule seems to have ebbed in favor of new or reborn democratic institutions. As a result, the policy framework guiding economic and political development is likely to be fundamentally different. The analysis of Latin America needs a strong dose of modern political economy--one that can bring the area studies field up to date with the recent developments on the theoretical end of the economics and political science professions. This book helps fill that need. }
