We compare samples of textiles and garments producers across groups of countries to find that, in general, productivity is far lower in Sub-Saharan Africa than it is in India. Indian manufacturers in turn are significantly less productive than their counterparts in Morocco, while producers in some SSA countries do match or exceed the Indian standard. The paper assesses the importance of geography as a possible factor in these gaps compared to such possible causes as trade policy and the quality of public institutions. It turns out that both institutions and trade policy are strong influences on country productivity averages. However, geography is also as powerful an influence in as far as it affects access to export markets and to input supplies.

This article describes four concepts—solvency, sustainability, shortfalls, and solutions—as they apply to the financial status of the Social Security program as well as how Social Security financing fits in the general federal budget. The little-understood basis for future projected shortfalls is explained and detailed in relation to the possible solutions.

Former communist countries in Europe faced difficult choices over the past 15 years as they moved from centrally planned economies to market economies. The Hungarian transformation provides an interesting case for analysis because of its relative success. This analysis focuses on the Hungarian insurance sector as one part of Hungary's successful economic transition and integration from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The transition of the Hungarian insurance market presents a thought-provoking case of revolutionary change from a bureaucratic monopoly with inefficient performance to a competitive, albeit oligopolistic, insurance market.

Every year, capital flows both out from (hereafter FDI) and into the US (hereafter FDIUS) to facilitate global trade liberalization. The purpose of this article is to examine the question of what proportion of the said fluctuations was caused by Federal Reserve interest rate policy actions or currency exchange rate variations by using a Taylor-type FDIUS optimal rule equation through a dynamic linear model. This study will also estimate changes in FDI caused by one percentage point change in interest rates or one index point change in exchange rates. On the importance of short-term interest rate versus exchange rate in directing FDIUS movement, the split is 28% for the real federal funds rate and 72% for the exchange rate, respectively. While recognizing the exchange rate exerts more in...

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment, including battery chargers and external power supplies (EPSs). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether more stringent, amended standards for these products are technologically feasible, economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this notice, DOE proposes amended energy conservation standards for Class A EPSs and new energy conservation standards for non-Class A EPSs and battery chargers. The notice also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...
