( If we would all like more money, why does the government not print a lot more? Could it not thereby solve the problem of scarcity ‘at a stroke’? The problem of scarcity is one of a lack of production. Simply printing more money without producing more goods and services will merely lead to inflation. To the extent that firms cannot meet the extra demand (i.e. the extra consumer expenditure) by extra production, they will respond by putting up their prices. Without extra production, consumers will end up unable to buy any more than previously. 5 ( (Box 1.1) What is it that makes each one of the above news items an economics item?

...The Investment Climate, Governance, and Inclusion in Bangladesh Nicholas Stern Chief Economist and Senior Vice President, World Bank1 Speech delivered at Bangladesh Economic Association, Dhaka January 8, 2002 Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great pleasure for me to return to Bangladesh after nearly 15 years and to have this opportunity to speak at the Bangladesh Economic Association. I last visited this beautiful country in 1986 as a member of an economic advisory team working on tax reforms. I have followed your country’s significant achievements since the early 1980s: a steady pace of economic growth, strong increases in primary education enrollment and girls’ education, striking reductions in fertility and infant mortality rates, widespread immunization, success in exports of ready-made garments, increases in food production, improvements in disaster preparedness and flood relief, and the emergence of an impressive NGO system and grassroots strengths. These are achievements that many observers would have thought impossible three decades ago, when some were sufficiently foolish as to refer to Bangladesh as a “basket case.” The aggregate statistics on growth and poverty illustrate this progress. As you know, the growth rate of GDP per capita accelerated steadily, from less than 1% a year in the 1970s to 1.8% in the 1980s and above 3% in the 1990s. By the 1990s, Bangladesh’s I am grateful to Shahrokh Fardoust and Halsey Rogers for their contributions to the preparation...

This Guide is provided to the student online at the Department of Economics website. Jayla Heller, the Department’s secretary has been kind enough to go through all of the frustration and hard work to put the guide in the appropriate format and put it online. To her goes my gratitude. The department, neither school, nor the professor make anything whatsoever from this Guide. In fact, the department’s budget and the professor’s own resources are used in the writing of the Guide, and the numerous draft copies that are produced in the revisions of this document. Like the sign in the Mom and Pop bait shop on Big Barbee Lake says, “This is a non-profit organization, wasn’t planned to be – it just worked out that way.” Well, actually it was planned to be a non-profit enterprise in this case. The professor also wishes to acknowledge the fact that several students have proposed changes, improvements, caught errors, and helped to make this document more useful as a learning tool. Naturally, any errors of omission...

...balance of payments crisis. The need for a policy shift had become evident much earlier, as many countries in east Asia achieved high growth and poverty reduction through policies that emphasized greater export orientation and encouragement of the private sector. India took some steps in this direction in the 1980s, but it was not until 1991 that the government signaled a systemic shift to a more open economy with greater reliance upon market forces, a larger role for the private sector including foreign investment, and a restructuring of the role of government. India’s economic performance in the postreform period has many positive features. The average growth rate in the ten-year period from 1992–1993 to 2001–2002 was around 6.0 percent, as shown in Table 1, which puts India among the fastest growing developing countries in the 1990s. This growth record is only slightly better than the annual average of 5.7 percent in the 1980s, but it can be argued that the 1980s growth was unsustainable, fuelled by a buildup of external debt that culminated in the crisis of 1991. In sharp contrast, growth in the 1990s was accompanied by remarkable external stability despite the east Asian crisis. Poverty also declined significantly in the postreform period and at a faster rate than in the 1980s, according to some studies (as Ravallion and Datt discuss in this issue). However, the ten-year average growth performance hides the fact that while the economy grew at an impressive 6.7 percent in the first...

...應 用 經 濟 論 叢 ， 89 期 ， 民 國 100 年 6 月 −153− The Dynamics Analysis and Simulation of the Macro Economic Behavior of Taiwan’s Invigorating Economy Consumption Voucher Wen-Chin Wei∗ Abstract Given the severe global economic downturn, countries are using a variety of possible economic policies to try to help their economies recover. This study adopts system dynamics from the dynamic perspective to investigate how Taiwan’s decision to issue time-limited consumption vouchers will influence macro economical behaviors. The simulation led to following primary results. First, in regard to the highest marginal propensity to consume (MPC = 0.3) and the lowest substitution rate of consumption (SR = 0.6741), the distribution of the consumption voucher will generate the biggest multiplier coefficient (0.6830) and Y (GDP). Second, as SR increases by 1%, the multiplier effect decreases by 0.44%. Third, the contribution percentages of consumption vouchers on the first, second, third, and the accumulated total of these three quarters of private consumption in 2009 ranged from 2.13-2.55, 0.25-0.30, 0.19-0.22, and 0.86-1.02 of a percentage, respectively. Meanwhile, the contribution percentage of consumption vouchers in the first, second, third and the accumulated total of these three quarters of GDP in 2009 ranged from 1.36-1.63, 0.15-0.18, 0.11-0.13, and ∗ Assistant Professor, Department of Public Finance & Taxation in National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences, Taiwan, Republic...
