The New Model Economy: Economic Inventions for the Rest of the Century puts forward certain ideas on how the making of economic policy and the instruments used to implement it in the industrialized Western countries could and should be reformed to overcome the grave difficulties of the present. The book contains a total of nine chapters that falls into two parts. The first part proposes the adoption of a ""participatory"" approach to economic policymaking that could be expected to increase greatly the legitimacy of the economic system. This approach would also render possible the solution of the technical problems in this field. The second part describes several such arrangements that appear practicable. This book will be valuable to both economists and intelligent general public.
In this authoritative and gripping book--the first full account of the 1976 International Monetary Fund crisis--Kathleen Burk and Alec Cairncross peel back the surface of the most searing economic crisis of postwar Britain to reveal its historical roots and contemporary context. During the spring of 1976, the plummeting value of the British pound against the U.S. dollar triggered a traumatic economic and political crisis. International confidence in the pound collapsed; an article in the Wall Street Journal, headlined "Good-bye, Great Britain," urged investors to get out of sterling. Refused aid by the London and New York markets, the Labour Government under Prime Minister James Callaghan was forced to turn for help to the IMF--a highly unusual move for a developed Western economy. Fearing that the economic crisis would drive Britain into a left-wing siege economy which would endanger NATO and the EEC, the United States and Germany used the IMF loan as a means to force Britain to make major domestic policy changes; when the IMF mission arrived in London in November 1976, it was announced that the price for the loan included deep cuts in domestic spending. Burk and Cairncross uncover the maneuvers of the Labour Government to evade IMF conditions. They also examine underlying economic factors, the political agenda, the rise of monetarist ideas, and the Keynesian response. Juxtaposing narrative with analysis, they provide surprising answers to critical questions and reveal how the breakdown of the post-war consensus on the macroeconomic management paved the way for the triumph of Thatcherism.
The University of Oxford has been and continues to be one of the most important global centres for economics. With six chapters on themes in Oxford economics and 24 chapters on the lives and work of Oxford economists, this volume shows how economics became established at the University, how it produced some of the world’s best-known economists, including Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, Roy Harrod and David Hendry, and how it remains a global force for the very best in teaching and research in economics. With original contributions from a stellar cast, this volume provides economists – especially those interested in macroeconomics and the history of economic thought – with the first in-depth analysis of Oxford economics.
This book surveys the theories, techniques (model- building and data collection), and applications of econometrics. KEY TOPICS: It focuses on those aspects of econometrics that are of major importance to readers and researchers interested in performing, evaluating, or understanding econometric studies in a variety of areas. It reviews matrix notation and the use of multivariate statistics; discusses the specification of the model and the development of data for its estimation; covers recent developments in econometric models, techniques, and applications; explains the estimation of single-equation models; and provides case studies of the applications of econometrics to a wide array of areas -- including traditional areas such as the estimation of demand functions and production functions, and macroeconometric models.
