Book Description
Developing countries undergoing economic crises have traditionally followed economic restructuring programmes that are based on the premise that private investment recovery is assured once the market is allowed to prevail. There is little regard for the micro-level unit - the 'investing-firm' - in this process, the conditions that characterize the product and factor markets and the positioning of the firm at the outset of adjustment. This book focuses on the firm and its experience in the restructuring process within the context of a heterogenous private sector.

Issues in Monetary and Fiscal Policy in Small Developing States
Author: Anthony Birchwood
Publisher: Commonwealth Secretariat
ISBN: 184929061X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This study examines how monetary and fiscal policies are implemented in Caribbean small states, tracing the differences and similarities in tax structure, current expenditure and current revenues. It shows the impact of monetary policy on inflation and the importance of exchange rate regimes to the effectiveness of monetary policy in the region. The authors show that fiscal stabilisation in the region is very low and as such countries within the region would benefit from insurance mechanisms and stabilisation funds.

Book Description
The 2018 Macroeconomic Report, A Mandate to Grow, revisits the growth debate that has been raging in the region for the past half century. Viewing the debate from this long-term perspective allows for a focus on the structural factors that have prevented Latin America and the Caribbean from reaching the growth potential required to keep pace with faster growing regions and to fulfill the aspirations of its population.

An Analysis of the Relative Effectiveness of Monetary and Fiscal Policies on Economic Performance in Five CARICOM Member States
Author: Samuel P. Indalmanie
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
The major macroeconomic goals are to boost output and employment levels and maintaining price stability. Two mainstream polices tasked with regulating the economy to achieve these multiple goals are monetary and fiscal policies. These policies use different instruments to influence the attainment of the objectives and their impacts differ in magnitude and duration. According to monetarists, the impact of monetary policy outweighs that of fiscal policy; while Keynesians posit that fiscal policy measures are critical for the stimulation of growth. Through these policies, countries try to map a sustainable and inclusive economic growth path. However, low economic growth rates in these countries have become a growing concern with policy prescriptions. Theoretical and empirical research on the relative power of monetary and fiscal policy to affect economic growth is inconclusive.In this paper, the relative effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies in stimulating real output in five Caricom member states is investigated, using a modified St. Louis equation within a vector auto-regression framework. In four of the five countries, real money supply affected RGDP negatively, with the exception of Trinidad and Tobago. The contribution of expenditure to national income was negative in Barbados, Belize and Trinidad and Tobago, but positive for Guyana and Jamaica.

Macroeconomics and Development
Author: Mario Damill
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 023154121X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Latin American neo-structuralism is a cutting-edge, regionally focused economic theory with broad implications for macroeconomics and development economics. Roberto Frenkel has spent five decades developing the theory's core arguments and expanding their application throughout the discipline, revolutionizing our understanding of high inflation and hyperinflation, disinflation programs, and the behavior of foreign exchange markets as well as financial and currency crises in emerging economies. The essays in this collection assess Latin American neo-structuralism's theoretical contributions and viability as the world's economies evolve. The authors discuss Frenkel's work in relation to pricing decisions, inflation and stabilization policy, development and income distribution in Latin America, and macroeconomic policy for economic growth. An entire section focuses on finance and crisis, and the volume concludes with a neo-structuralist analysis of general aspects of economic development. For those seeking a comprehensive introduction to contemporary Latin American economic thought, this collection not only explicates the intricate work of one of its greatest practitioners but also demonstrates its impact on the growth of economics.
