The political economy of stabilization: Commitment,capacity, and public response

Political pressures are generally recognized as important in determining success or failure of economic stabilization and adjustment programs. But there has been little comparative analysis of the politics of stabilization. This study examines the factors affecting (i) political leaders' commitment to stabilization measures (often called ‘political will’); (ii) governmental ability to implement stabilization measures; and (iii) the responses of key interest groups and the public at large to those measures. The study also discusses political implications of the design of programs and the attempted speed of stabilization, and sketches the tactics available to governments to manage political risk, including partial compensation, persuasion, diversion or obfuscation, and containment of protest. The discussion is based on case studies of stabilization efforts in five fairly poor, small, highly trade-dependent countries; Ghana in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and Zambia, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Jamaica in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A subsidiary theme within the broader discussion is the ways in which the political economy of stabilization may differ in such countries, as compared to larger, semi-industrialized economies.

Patenting and the supply of inventive ideas in colonial Australia: evidence from Victorian patent data

One of the least studied aspects of Australian economic history is technological change. This article addresses the subject by using patent statistics from nineteenth–century Victoria to examine the determinants of the supply of inventive ideas in the late colonial era. Such an examination indicates that, while both demand– and supply–side features clearly had roles to play in influencing the volume of ideas that emerged, it was the expansion and diversification of Australian markets in the latter half of the century that was most important. These findings also suggest that development and introduction of new technological ideas in pre–Federation Australia were predominantly economic activities shaped by local considerations.     

Patenting activity and elements of market structure in the Dutch manufacturing industry

Summary On the basis of econometric analysis this survey shows how patent intensity (number of patents in relation to sales) is positively influenced by technological opportunity and expected profit, and negatively by industry size and concentration. In addition, it is investigated whether patents can be used as a proxy for both inventive and innovative activity. To this question no definite answer could be given. A contradictory relationship was found between the R&D/sales ratio and the patents/sales ratio, which in this case merely shows how research based on firm data and industry data can come up with very different results. A general implication is that for studies on the Dutch manufacturing industry the aggregation from firm level to industry level should be treated with caution.The author works for Corporate Development & Economics Department of Unilever N.V.

Reputation and Imperfectly Observable Commitment: The Chain Store Paradox Revisited

This paper reconsiders Selten's famous chain store paradox and its solution by Kreps and Wilson, which is based on entrants' uncertainty concerning the incumbent monopolist's predisposition to fight entry. Following Milgrom and Roberts, we interpret the predisposition to fight entry as the result of a rationally chosen commitment. However, commitment is imperfectly observable. Other assumptions are maintained. We show that a rational monopolist never fights entry, even if he may commit himself to an aggressive course of action. Entry occurs in all markets and is never fought. Hence, Selten's chain store paradox comes back in full force.

Skills,Origins and Literacy: A Comparison of the Bounty Immigrants into New South Wales in 1841, With the Convicts Resident in The Colony

In 1841, some 20,000 assisted immigrants arrived in New South Wales (including the province of Port Phillip) augmenting the existing population by approximately 15 per cent. Most of the European population consisted of convicts or ex‐convicts. The characteristics of the bounty immigrants who landed in 1841 have been analysed by McDonald and Richards, while a sample of approximately 20,000 convicts transported to New South Wales have been analysed by Nicholas et al. The main purpose of this article is to construct tables that, for the first time, compare the characteristics of all participants in the two inflows on, as far as possible, a common basis. The two groups display major differences in terms of sex, age, geographical origin, literacy, religion, and occupational skills. The novelty of this article is its provision of a new set of tables and its contextual analysis of the differences between the quantifiable characteristics of these two colonial workforces.
