Without the aid x»ecelved, much of the resesu*ch material used would have been neither primary nor current. First, I would like to thank the Library of Congress for the extensive use of their facilities. Also very im- portant were the assistance of the staffs of the Brazilian Qnbassies in v/ashlngton, D. C., and in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and the use of the library of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D. C. I am indeed thankful for the assistance given me by Gertrude Heare of the TJhited States Department of Commerce in allowing me to borrow ’’the only available copy" of the 1964*’1966 development plan, which was replete with pertinent statistics and projections. And finally, I must show more than appreciation for the tremendous amount of assistance from my wife in the fora of preliminary and final typing, editing, and en- couragement throughout the whole period, from research to completion of the work. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 PART I.

  • Depatiment of Agricultural and Appliedeconomics
    Staff Papers Series Staff Paper P84-19 June 1984 Brazilian Agriculture in a Changed International Economy by G. Edward Schuh Depatiment of Agricultural and Applied Economics University of Minnesota Institute of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics St. Paul. Minnesota 55108 Brazilian Agriculture h a Changed International Economy bY G. Edward Schuh* *professor and Head, Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota Staff papers are published without formal review by the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURE IN A CHANGED INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY* G. Edward Schuh** Two considerations have motivated the research which underlies this paper. The first was the desire to understand what has happened to Brazil - a country that after an unusually successful growth experience over a sustained period of time has become the focus of international attention as it has experienced a foreign debt and liquidity crisis of unusual magnitude. The second was the desire to better understand the emerging international economic system and how it affects the economic performance of individual countries. In characterizing Brazil in the larger scheme of things, it should be noted that this country represents the epitome of autarchic development, having pursued import-substituting industrialization with a particular vengeance for approximately 30 years. As a consequence of that policy, it has one of the most closed, if not the most closed, economy of the world. Exports are equivalent to only approximately 8 percent of GNP. External observers have blamed the problems of Brazil (and other countries in crisis) on a failure to live within its means, on excessive optimism, and on bad policy.

Lee* Money norms present a fundamental contradiction. Norms embody the social sphere, a system of internalized values, unwritten rules, and shared expectations that informally govern human behavior. Money, on the other hand, evokes the economic sphere of markets, prices, and incentives. Existing legal scholarship keeps the two spheres distinct. Money is assumed to operate as a medium of exchange or as a tool for altering the payoffs of different actions. When used to make good behavior less costly and undesirable behavior more costly, money functions to incentivize, sanction, and deter. Although a rich literature on the expressive function of law exists, legal scholars have generally confined money to the economic sphere of sanctions and subsidies. This Article attempts to bridge that gap. Money elicits a strong, visceral, and emotional reaction, triggering (and creating expectations of) selfishness, individualism, and self-reliance that is unaccounted for in current legal scholarship. Money norms not only insulate our moral values from market encroachment, but they also prescribe modes of behavior that encourage cooperation and counteract the impulse to act selfishly.

  • Measuring Currency Pressures: the Cases of the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Yuan, and the UK Pound
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Measuring Currency Pressures: The Cases of the Japanese Yen, the Chinese Yuan, and the U.K. Pound Stephen Hall, University of Leicester, UK Amangeldi Kenjegaliev, University of Leicester, UK P. A. V. B. Swamy, Retired from Federal Reserve Board, USA George S. Tavlas, Bank of Greece, Economics Research Department, Greece Working Paper No. 13/10 May 2013 Measuring Currency Pressures: The Cases of the Japanese Yen, the * Chinese Yuan, and the U.K. Pound Stephen G. Hall Leicester University and Bank of Greece Amangeldi Kenjegaliev Leicester University P.A.V.B. Swamy Federal Reserve Board (Retired) George S. Tavlas† Bank of Greece Abstract We investigate bilateral currency pressures against the U.S. dollar for three currencies: the Japanese yen, the Chinese yuan, and the U.K. pound during the period 2000:Q1 to 2009:Q4. We employ a model-based methodology to measure exchange market pressure over the period. Conversion factors required to estimate the pressure on these currencies are computed using a time-varying coefficient regression. We then use our measures of currency pressures to assess deviations of exchange rates from their market-equilibrium levels. For the yen, our measure of currency pressure suggests undervaluation during the initial part of our estimation period, a period during which the Bank of Japan sold yen in the foreign exchange market. We find persistent undervaluation of the yuan throughout the estimation period, with the undervaluation peaking at about 20 per cent in 2004 and 2007. For the pound, the results indicate low pressure - - suggesting a mainly free-floating currency - - throughout the sample period.

  • Modern Coinage Systems
    MODERN COINAGE SYSTEMS By MAJOR D. V. DEANE, C.I.E., C.B.E. {Formerly Senior Master of the Indian Government Mints) Preface. The subject of this paper covers a wide range of factors which influence the final decisions which must be made before a country can introduce a new series of coins, or even add a single new coin to the existing series. These new coinages have been necessitated for various reasons, such as the introduction of the Decimal System; the grant of Independence to a former colonial territory; the replacement of low valued currency notes by coins; and the steep increase in the price of silver during recent years, which has resulted in this metal now being almost completely abandoned for use in coinage. Each country which is considering changes in its currency or coinage presents its own particular problems. One of the most important of these is the face value of the major coinage unit of the country concerned, and of the sub-divisions thereof. In countries where the value of the major unit is high—such as the U.S. Dollar or the S. African Rand, there is a wide choice of metals and alloys for the subsidiary units, as even the lowest coin will have some intrinsic value, but in other countries—notably in Latin America—the problem is complicated by the much lower value of the major unit, and, with the steep inflationary trend which persists in many of these countries, by the risk of the metal value of the subsidiary coins eventually exceeding their face value to an extent where they disappear from circulation to be melted for use in the local non-ferrous industry.

  • Survey Data on Exchange Rate Expectations: More Currencies, More Horizons, More Tests
    SURVEY DATA ON EXCHANGE RATE EXPECTATIONS: MORE CURRENCIES, MORE HORIZONS, MORE TESTS by Menzie D. Chinn Jeffrey A. Frankel University of California, Harvard University Santa Cruz (Revisions, March 14, 1999, and February 11, 2000) Forthcoming, Monetary Policy, Capital Flows and Financial Market Developments in the Era of Financial Globalisation: Essays in Honour of Max Fry, edited by Bill Allen and David Dickinson. Summary This paper works with a comprehensive set of survey data, on forecasts for 24 currencies (against the dollar), thus going beyond the traditional G-7 countries to consider smaller and less developed countries. We apply the data set to four topics. (1) We find some ability in the survey data to predict future movements in the exchange rate (and in the right direction!). As in past tests, the forecasts are nevertheless biased: variability of expected depreciation is excessive, especially at the 3-month horizon. (2) We find some evidence of a time-varying risk premium, especially at the 12-month horizon. But the coefficient on the forward discount is usually significantly greater than 1/2, implying that the risk premium is less variable than is expected depreciation. (3) We examine new data on forecasts at the five-year horizon and obtain, somewhat disappointingly, only weak evidence of regressive expectations towards purchasing power parity. (4) We have no success in an attempt to use the survey data in an equation of exchange rate determination. Acknowledgements: We thank Data Resources, Inc. for providing exchange rate data. James Hirakawa provided assistance in collecting data. We acknowledge the financial support of UCSC Academic Senate research funds.

Introduction Constitutional trends in the world today reveal a strong movement among new democracies to provide for judicial review.' The precise model may vary from that of the United States, with many countries prefer- ring to send all constitutional issues to a single court and some providing for review before a law takes effect.3 However, no one can doubt the basic trend toward review exercised by a judicial or quasi-judicial organ. Given the fractious nature of political competition, the most obvious reason for the rise of judicial review is that pluralist societies require a respected in- stitution or institutions to resolve disputes over the interpretation and ap- * Professor of Law, Southwestern University School of Law.
