A Classroom Experiment on Exchange Rate Determination with Purchasing Power Parity
We develop a classroom experiment on exchange rate determination appropriate for undergraduate courses in macroeconomics and international economics. Students represent citizens from different countries and need to obtain currency to purchase goods. By participating in a sealed bid auction to buy currency, students gain a better understanding of currency markets and the determination of exchange rates. The implicit framework for exchange rate determination is one in which prices are perfectly flexible (in the long run) so that purchasing power parity (PPP) prevails. Additional treatments allow students to examine the impact of transport costs, nontradable goods and tariffs on the exchange rate and to explore possible deviations from PPP.
Which Countries are Studied Most by Economists? An Examination of the Regional Distribution of Economic Research
This paper examines the distribution of economic research as catalogued in the Journal of Economic Literature across countries of the world and attempts to explain those patterns. We report the number of articles published on each country and estimate a series of regressions to understand this pattern. We find that measures of a country's size (physical and economic), connections with the outside world and data availability explain much of the pattern of research. We also find that tourism receipts, whether English is an official language, and the number of economic research institutions are significantly correlated with the amount of research done on a country. After controlling for all the variables, we find only three regions (all in Africa) with significantly less research published by economists in Journal of Economic Literature cataloged articles than North America.
Unmaking China's Development
A ground-breaking new study of China's development paradox - predicated on informal and ambiguous institutions - through property and resources.
How Trade with China Threatens Western Institutions
This book evaluates the institutional environments of China and the United States, and the West more broadly, and how they affect their trading relationship, with specific emphasis on intellectual property theft and other allegations of unfair competition. The economic and political characteristics of the two countries affect the balance of power in their trading relationship, with ramifications far beyond jobs and output. The major theme is China’s ability to free ride on Western institutions through intellectual property theft and extortion. This free riding is far more than just infringing patents and reaping profits; it creates a combination of incentives for political pressures in the...
Developments on Experimental Economics
This volume on experimental economics offers both new research grounds and a bird’s eye view on the field. In the first part, leading experimental economists, among them Vernon S. Smith and Daniel Friedman, give inspiring insights into their view on the general development of this field. In the second part, selected short papers by researchers from various disciplines present new ideas and concepts to solving problems in the real world.
Private Rights and Public Problems
Consumers constantly confront intellectual property rights (IPRs) every day, from their morning cup of Starbucks coffee to the Intel chip on their computer at work. Intellectual property rights help protect creative inventions in the form of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Despite legal protection, many goods--including music and video files--are easily copied or shared, which affects industries, innovators, and customers. In his follow-up to one of the most popular PIIE titles of all time, Keith Maskus looks at the expansion of private legal rights into international trade markets, not only for technological items but also for international public goods like vaccines and prescription d...
Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change
Henry Bernstein argues that class dynamics should be the starting point of any analysis of agrarian change. Providing an accessible introduction to agrarian political economy, he shows clearly how the argument for "bringing class back in" provides an alternative to inherited conceptions of the agrarian question. He also ably illustrates what is at stake in different ways of thinking about class dynamics and the effects of agrarian change in today's globalized world. CONTENTS: Introduction: The Political Economy of Agrarian Change. Production and Productivity. Origins of Early Development of Capitalism. Colonialism and Capitalism. Farming and Agriculture, Local and Global. Neoliberal Globalization and World Agriculture. Capitalist Agriculture and Non-Capitalist Farmers? Class Formation in the Countryside. Complexities of Class.
Internationale Wirtschaft
Die 8. Auflage dieses Klassikers der Außenwirtschaftslehre vom Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger 2008 erscheint in einer Zeit, in der die Entwicklung der Weltwirtschaft die nationale Politik und die politischen Debatten stärker beeinflusst als je zuvor. Die Globalisierung hat alle Bereiche erfasst. Sinkende Transport- und Kommunikationskosten, weltweite Vereinbarungen über den Abbau staatlicher Handelsbeschränkungen und die Auslagerung von Produktionsprozessen in andere Länder haben zu einer ständigen Zunahme des grenzüberschreitenden Handels mit Waren und Dienstleistungen geführt. Die Fragestellungen, mit denen sich die Theoretiker der Außenwirtschaft seit mehr als zweihundert Jahren au...
Fighting Campylobacter Infections
This edited volume explores Campylobacter species, which are some of the most important foodborne pathogens. Above all, contaminated poultry meat can cause human gastroenteritis in both developed and developing countries. The respective contributions reveal how these infections can also increase the risk of generalized paralytic diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Miller-Fisher syndrome, and Chinese paralytic syndrome. Due to their influence on the nervous system, circulatory system, and various organs, Campylobacter infections represent a serious public health concern. Campylobacter can be effectively combated by addressing the hygienic conditions in both food production and human li...
Economia Internacional
A pandemia da covid-19 escancarou para todos nós o alto grau de conexão existente entre o movimento de pessoas, os fluxos de dados e o comércio do mundo inteiro. O choque econômico global dela decorrente forçou os governos a buscarem políticas capazes de impedir a disseminação da doença, ao mesmo tempo em que apoiavam suas economias. Essa experiência oferece muitas lições, mas uma delas é a importância de uma perspectiva internacional para a análise de eventos economicamente significativos em nível mundial. O propósito deste livro é preparar os estudantes com ferramentas intelectuais para entender as consequências econômicas da interdependência global. Apesar das previsões de que a pandemia atual poderia frear a globalização, parece mais provável que a maioria dos aspectos desse processo sobreviverá após a derrota final do vírus. Como ilustra este livro, a globalização pode ser um gerador de prosperidade, mas, como qualquer máquina poderosa, pode também causar danos se não for administrada com sabedoria.
