This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impacts of the Jones Act on the Alaska Forest Products Trade Alaska forest products trade flows for 1982 were studied to determine the effects of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (the Jones Act). Information was collected from timber producers, forest product industries, and waterborne shippers in Alaska, British Columbia, and the Pacific Northwest. Trade flows were simulated, using a partial equilibrium model based on resource rents, with and without the Jones Act restrictions. Results indicate that million in additional costs were incurred in 1982 because of the Jones Act. These effects appeared small, however, relative to the wholesale value of trade. Further, the Jones Act cost differential was not a major factor in market determination, although low-value products and longer trade routes were more sensitive to cost changes. Primary movements of logs and chips and lumber imports from the Pacific Northwest showed the greatest potential for cost savings after relaxing the Jones Act.

Book Synopsis The Jones Act by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book The Jones Act written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the effects of the Jones Act on Alaska trade to determine the: (1) economic costs of the act's requirement that only U.S. vessels carry cargo between points in the United States; and (2) impact of this requirement on achieving national defense objectives. GAO found that: (1) the requirement increased annual transportation costs in Alaskan trade by about $163 million; (2) a new crude oil pipeline from California to Alaska could reduce the need for tanker transportation; and (3) the increased costs for Alaskan oil reduced Alaskan royalties and severance taxes by $37 million per year. GAO also found that: (1) U.S. military strategy relied heavily on the use of U.S.-flag ships to move military supplies abroad in case of war; (2) the U.S.-flag fleet declined from 1,050 ships in 1950 to 365 in 1987; (3) the number of positions for U.S. merchant mariners declined from 56,629 in 1950 to 10,376 in 1987; (4) although admitting foreign-built ships to Alaskan trade would probably not change the number of U.S.-flag ships in that trade, it might reduce the number of positions for U.S. merchant mariners; and (5) replacing existing ships with foreign ships would reduce the shipyard mobilization base.

Download or read book Good Economics for Hard Times written by Abhijit V. Banerjee and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--
