Details the policies and procedures enacted by the OPA to control prices in the apparel industry.
This study deals with price problems of the OPA concerning production patterns, specifically the interaction of price control and changes in production patterns in the wartime sellers' market. It covers a cross section of industries and was of great import to not only the OPA for establishing price controls but to supply agencies, particularly textile and apparel.
The development of the OPA was part of the history of an all-over mobilization of the Nation's resources. But within the Agency, there were organizational and administrative problems of price control of considerable importance and magnitude. This volume differs from others in the series which bear the same general title in that it treats not the substantial economic or legal problems of price control, but rather the administrative machinery developed in the national office to cope with them. It covers the major organizational land administrative problems of OPA's price department and traces the evolution of more or less satisfactory solutions for most of them.
Stabilization subsidies were financial aids granted by the Federal government during the war and the immediate post-war period to keep prices stable and lower than they would have otherwise been in a freemarket economy. The first study presents overall considerations of subsidies-- concentrating on subsidies outside the food field. The second concentrated solely on the food subsidies.
This volume brings together studies of the OPA's techniques of price control during the war period and immediately thereafter. It is a collection of essays describing representative samples of the crucial problems faced in establishing control techniques. It includes an account of the formulation of the General Maximum Price Regulation, the technique of 'freezing' prices on a base date and period, formula pricing, margin control pricing for retailers and wholesalers, and pricing based on area and/or zone of the country.
