A new economics approach to modelling policies to achieve global 2020 targets for climate stabilisation

This paper explores a Post Keynesian, ‘new economics’ approach to climate policy, assessing the opportunities for investment in accelerated decarbonisation of the global economy to 2020 following the Great Recession of 2008–2009. The risks associated with business-as-usual growth in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere suggest that avoiding dangerous climate change will require that the world’s energy-economy system is transformed through switching to low-carbon technologies and lifestyles. Governments have agreed a target to hold the increase in temperatures above pre-industrial levels to at most 2°C and have offered reductions by 2020 in GHG emissions or the carbon-intensity of GDP. The effects of policies proposed to achieve pathways to 2020 towards this target are assessed using E3MG, an Energy-Environment-Economy (E3) Model at the Global level. E3MG is an annual simulation econometric model, estimated for 20 world regions over 1972–2006 adopting a new economics approach. Additional low-GHG investment of some 0.7% of GDP, with carbon pricing and other policies, is sufficient to achieve a pathway consistent with a medium chance of achieving the long-term target. GDP is above reference levels because decarbonisation reduces world oil prices and increases investment. Employment is some 0.9% above reference levels by 2020 and public finances are almost unaffected.

What we could have learned from the New Deal in dealing with the recent global recession**

Modern policy-makers have learned little from the Great Depression and the policy responses of the 1930s. Yet, there is a great deal to learn from the New Deal: quelling the fear and uncertainty of mass unemployment in the pragmatic, experimental process through which the tool for achieving this objective—directed government expenditure—was accepted, even though the New Deal’s public works policies and direct provision of paid employment, rather than being informed by a Keynesian theory of macroeconomic stabilization, were designed to support morale, provide relief from the suffering and uncertainty of unemployment, and serve as a bulwark against more interventionist alternatives. Countering the deep uncertainty in the real sector of the economy thus collided with Roosevelt’s commitment to rein in fiscal deficits, and the resolution of this internal conflict in favor of support for employment and incomes provides the essential, largely ignored lesson of the 1930s.     

An Experimental Examination of US Individual Donors’ Information Needs and Use

This paper adopts an internet‐based experiment to investigate whether and how individual donors use nonprofit organizations’ financial and nonfinancial information when making their donation decisions. Using undergraduate students in the United States (US) to proxy for individual donors, our results indicate that individual donors are more likely to acquire nonfinancial information, such as nonprofit organizations’ goals, outcomes, programs and missions, than financial information. Donors integrate nonfinancial information into their decisions as their actual donations are significantly correlated with such information. Our results also indicate that while individual donors acquire financial efficiency measures, including the program expense ratio and fundraising expense ratio, they do not seem to integrate such information into their decisions as their actual donations are not significantly correlated with the efficiency information. This study contributes to the nonprofit literature and research domain focusing on charitable giving and donor preferences.     

浅论建设工程项目待摊支出分配问题

在投资某项建设工程过程中,需要对相关支出进行待摊处理。现行的待摊支出分配方法因没有考虑资产的服务年限及成本动因,可能造成固定资产计量的不合理。对大型项目而言,应以项目投资为基数、以资产服务年限为权数分配待摊支出。
