( This landmark study of economic history since World War...)
This landmark study of economic history since World War II systematically explores why postwar trade and payments have evolved as they have, the prospects for their future evolution, and the range of policy adjustments likely to be required. Through a rigorous examination and analysis of historical records, the author makes two significant and unique contributions to the scholarship on the subject. First, he reveals the existence of distinct cycles in world trade and payments, beginning in 1959. While scholars have recognized postwar business cycles, none have identified--until now--trade and payments cycles which seem to run parallel. Second, Cohen utilizes newly researched data to explore the much-heralded J-curve and its relevance in relating exchange rates to trade balances, and he identifies several important factors which have slowed the maturation of the J-curve effect on U.S. balances. The study is divided into four parts and begins by looking at the forces that have shaped the postwar trade and payments order. Cohen then turns to an investigation of the period of advance in the trade and payments order from 1945-1967, describing three distinct stages that reflect the emergence, the establishment, and the peak of this period. Section three begins with an analysis of the structure and causes of the four postwar trade and payments cycles and includes an examination of the differences among them. Subsequent chapters address the different cycles themselves, reviewing the history of each and evaluating the growing challenges to the postwar trade and payments order. In the concluding section, Cohen explores why the J-curve in the U.S. has been so weak during the current cycle and assesses the likely consequences of the failure of existing policies to reduce external imbalances. Finally, the author offers a set of recommendations to reduce such imbalances through a new Cycle of Adjustment. Students of economic history, policy makers, and investors will find in Cohen's work significant new insights into economic processes and the probable future economic terrain.

This new edition of World Trade and Payments retains those features that have made it such a highly respected and successful text. Once again it offers clear coverage of sophisticated models supported by the latest empirical research, all made easily understandable by a wealth of issues and applications. In addition, new theoretical developments have been incorporated to keep the text up-to-date. The balanced coverage of trade and finance features updated material on the multinational enterprise, the political economy of trade controls, the outcome of the Uruguay Round of international tariff negotiations, and the new World Trade Organization. Also, there are entirely new discussions on the Eastern European economies in transition, trade policies, and the development of newly industrialized countries.

The third edition of this highly accessible book is designed for people who want to understand how multinational firms “work” and what their consequences for the economy and for political choices are. It is designed to be readily useful to students of economics and business administration and to scholars (teachers and researchers) with interests in multinational enterprises.

(Industrial Efficiency in Six Nations continues the pionee...)
Industrial Efficiency in Six Nations continues the pioneering research begun in Caves and Barton's Efficiency in U.S. Manufacturing Industries, extending it to the international sphere and laying the empirical groundwork for a deeper understanding of the sources of inefficiency and their cost in productivity. This extended project is the first to apply the stochastic frontier production function routinely, with results that are both meaningful and sophisticated. Of particular interest are substantive results concerning the effects of exposure to competition, both domestic and foreign, and of organizational factors such as corporate diversification and unionization on productive efficiency. Caves and his colleagues investigate the gaps between average and best-practice efficiency of plants in the manufacturing industries of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Japan, and Korea. They show that the resulting measures of industrial efficiency can be used to test many hypotheses about how efficiency differs from industry to industry. They confirm the generally favorable effects of competition on efficiency and also test many effects of organizational choices, while controlling for dynamic disturbances and sources of intrinsic diversity. They also explore what happens to the typical industry's efficiency over time, show how much and why the efficiency of large and small units differs, and probe the relation of the gap between an industry's average and best-practice efficiency and its international standing in average productivity.

( This book explores the organization of creative indust...)
This book explores the organization of creative industries, including the visual and performing arts, movies, theater, sound recordings, and book publishing. In each, artistic inputs are combined with other, "humdrum" inputs. But the deals that bring these inputs together are inherently problematic: artists have strong views; the muse whispers erratically; and consumer approval remains highly uncertain until all costs have been incurred. To assemble, distribute, and store creative products, business firms are organized, some employing creative personnel on long-term contracts, others dealing with them as outside contractors; agents emerge as intermediaries, negotiating contracts and matching creative talents with employers. Firms in creative industries are either small-scale pickers that concentrate on the selection and development of new creative talents or large-scale promoters that undertake the packaging and widespread distribution of established creative goods. In some activities, such as the performing arts, creative ventures facing high fixed costs turn to nonprofit firms. To explain the logic of these arrangements, the author draws on the analytical resources of industrial economics and the theory of contracts. He addresses the winner-take-all character of many creative activities that brings wealth and renown to some artists while dooming others to frustration; why the "option" form of contract is so prevalent; and why even savvy producers get sucked into making "ten-ton turkeys," such as Heaven's Gate. However different their superficial organization and aesthetic properties, whether high or low in cultural ranking, creative industries share the same underlying organizational logic.

(In the [recent] past . . . formal economics has gained gr...)
In the [recent] past . . . formal economics has gained greatly from the efforts of a number of economists to make it meet the standards of rigor expected in contemporary mathematics. Ambiguities have been removed, and important questions asked which no one had ever thought of asking before. Moreover, new insights have been gained; for instance, the 'separation theorems' have given us an understanding of the role of prices which is both new and exciting. The pure theory of value has been found particularly suitable to this kind of treatment, and it is here that Debreu has made his distinguished contributions, which will be familiar to many readers. This beautiful and austere book marks a summing-up of these efforts - there can be no doubt that it is an important landmark of economic theory. "The book is very short, but it may well take as long to read as many works three times as long. This is not due to faulty exposition but to the demands rigorous analysis makes on the reader. It is to be hoped that no one will be put off by this, for the marginal return of time invested in reading Debreu is very high indeed and probably increasing." - F. H. Hahn, Journal of Political Economy
