( The studies collected in this volume embody the results...)
The studies collected in this volume embody the results of research conducted in the mid 1950s into various theoretical problems in international economics. They fall into three groups – comparative cost theory, trade and growth and balance of payments theory. This volume consolidates the work of previous theorists and applies mathematically-based logical analysis to theoretical problems of economic policy.

Reprinting the second edition (which included a new introduction explaining developments which had emerged since first publication) this book discusses explorations in the fundamental theory of a monetary economy, a theoretical critique of the ‘Phillips Curve’ approach to the theory of inflation and the theory of the term structure of interest rates in terms of the theory of forward markets pioneered by David Meiselman.

A sequel to Essays in Monetary Economics, this book develops the ideas on domestic and international monetary issues, with reference to specific events and crises of the 1960s and 70s. These essays are distinguished by the author’s expert grasp of the analytical techniques and contemporaneous policy problems of both domestic and international monetary economics.

( This volume consists of selected previously published k...)
This volume consists of selected previously published key essays which have proved most useful for teaching advanced monetary economics. A short introduction was added which places the selection of essays and the issues they cover in the contemporaneous context of simultaneous high inflation and high unemployment. As relevant today as they were when they were first written, they enable the reader to anticipate intelligently what is likely to happen and why.

( An internationally acknowledged authority on all aspect...)
An internationally acknowledged authority on all aspects of the theory of international trade and payments, this book collects Harry Johnson’s contributions to the study of international trade, including a critique of the theory of effective protection. The book discusses: • the integration of income distribution and other aspects of the economy into the positive theory of tariffs • the issues raised by the use of tariffs to promote economic development • the implications of distortions of various kinds in the working of competition for tariff theory and policy • the costs of protection • the implications of effective protection for world economic development and the economic effects of trade preferences • the question of free trade and the extent to which it requires the harmonization other aspects of economic policy.

In a world that is essentially digitizing, some have argued that the idea of the knowledge society holds the greatest promise for Africas rapid socio-economic transformation. Impacts of the Knowledge Society on Economic and Social Growth in Africa aims to catalyze thinking and provide relevant information on the complex ways in which the information age is shaping Africa and the implications that this will have for the continent and the world. This premier reference volume will provide policy analysts, policymakers, academics, and researchers with fresh insights into the key empirical and theoretical matters framing Africa's ongoing digitization.

This second edition assesses some of the major refinements, extensions, and useful applications that have developed in neoinstitutionalist thought in recent years. More attention is given to the overlap between the New Institutional Economics and developments in economic history and political science. In addition to updated references, new material includes analysis of parallel developments in the field of economic sociology and its attacks on representatives of the NIE as well as an explanation of the institution-as-an-equilibrium-of-game approach. Already an international best seller, Institutions and Economic Theory is essential reading for economists and students attracted to the NIE approach. Scholars from such disciplines as political science, sociology, and law will find the work useful as the NIE continues to gain wide academic acceptance. A useful glossary for students is included. Eirik Furubotn is Honorary Professor of Economics, Co-Director of the Center for New Institutional Economics, University of Saarland, Germany and Research Fellow, Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University. Rudolph Richter is Professor Emeritus of Economics and Director of the Center for New Institutional Economics, University of Saarland, Germany.

JOHNSON, Harry G. was born in 1923 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts University Toronto, 1943, 1947. Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 1946, 1951. Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy Harvard University, 1948,1958.

As one of the most prolific economists of his generation, he contributed to the formulation and development of the theory of effective protection, the concept of the ‘scientific’ tariff, the monetary approach to balance-ofpayments problems, and the two-factor, two-sector model of general equilibrium, both in the context of comparative statics and economic growth. Also his writings helped to lead macroeconomists to a new and continually evolving synthesis of Keynesian thinking with the neoclassical tradition of microeconomics. Finally, he wrote expertly on a wide variety of special topics, such as brain drain, the economics of R&D, and the economics of higher education.
