We �nd that individuals’ opinions concerning protectionist policies match with how their revenue could be affected in the medium or long term by trade liberalisation in line with predictions of the comparative advantage models. An adverse macroeconomic context (large increase in the unemployment rate or in�ation rate) increases protectionist attitudes, thus re�ecting that people do not trust that free trade will lead to lower prices or create jobs despite trade theory optimism. People share a mercantilist view of trade since more imports increase protectionism support, while people positively value exports, especially in small countries. Regarding policy measures, while protectionist measures do not in�uence protectionism support in general, easy access to exports reduces people’s support for protectionism.

This article presents a methodology designed to facilitate alternative variables measuring economic growth. A capital-labor split of Cobb-Douglas function is adapted for use in the context of economic growth. A capital/income ratio and two fundamental laws of capitalism originated by Thomas Piketty illustrate capital inequality undervalued with respect to labor inequality. In addition, the article includes export and external debt as strong alternatives. Empirical data of the World Bank are analyzed to demonstrate broad differences in economic sizes.

  • The Optimal Size of Government in Australia
    THE OPTIMAL SIZE OF GOVERNMENT IN AUSTRALIA Anthony J Makin Griffith Business School Griffith University Gold Coast 4222 [email protected] Julian Pearce Economics and Finance School Advisory Committee QUT Brisbane 4000 [email protected] Shyama Ratnasiri Griffith Business School Griffith University Gold Coast 4222 [email protected] Paper presented at 2018 Australian Conference of Economists, Canberra, 10-13 July. 1 THE OPTIMAL SIZE OF GOVERNMENT IN AUSTRALIA Abstract In the extensive literature on the role of government in the economy scant attention has been paid to the influence of the relative size of government on an economy’s rate of growth. This paper canvasses perspectives on why the size of government has grown, how this affects the wider economy, and why a trade-off exists between increased government size and economic growth beyond some optimal level, as conveyed by the so-called BARS curve. The paper next examines in-depth trends in government spending in Australia which has grown to a historically high level of 37 per cent of national income post GFC before econometrically estimating the optimal size of government on Australia’s BARS curve using the ARMAX approach. The results suggest the share of government spending in Australia consistent with maximising economic growth is 31 per cent of national income, significantly below the current level of 37 per cent.

While this is the case in most advanced economies, the issues are particularly acute in an Irish context, given the large multinational footprint. For policy-makers, there are additional challenges, most notably related to interpreting the real-time information embedded in standard, internationally- recognised metrics such as Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Income. Movements in these aggregates have become increasingly disconnected from actual trends in living standards in Ireland. New Irish-specific measures of activity – most notably ‘modified Gross National Income’ – attempt to control for (part of) the impact of globalisation on Irish macro-economic statistics.

  • A Guide to the National Income and Product Accounts of the United States
    i A Guide to the National Income and Product Accounts of the United States This guide presents information on the structure, definitions, and presentation that underlie the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The NIPAs show the composition of production and the distribution of incomes earned in production. Thus, they represent a critical element of the U.S. economic accounts, which are designed to provide a consistent and comprehensive picture of the Na- tion’s economy. The NIPAs feature several widely followed measures of aggregate U.S. economic activity, includ- ing gross domestic product (GDP), gross domestic income (GDI), personal income, and personal saving among others. This guide is organized as follows: Background and History of the NIPAs ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 1 Definitions and Classifications Underlying the NIPAs ............................................................................................................................................................................ 4 Real Output and Related Measures................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 15 Classifications of Production ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

  • Chapter -3 National Income and Related Aggregates 3.1
    Chapter -3 National Income And Related Aggregates 3.1 Background : Performance of an economy depends on the amount of goods and services produced in that economy. In monetary terms its measure is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Income (GNI), and Net National Income (NNI). Apart from these macro-economic aggregates, the other important indicators to measure health of economy are capital formation and savings. Thus, measurement of these macro- economic indicators is an extremely important exercise, which requires collection and analysis of large volume of data. The conceptual framework guiding such an exercise has to be robust and evolve with the time to keep pace with the dynamics of the manifested world. 3.2 System of National Accounts (SNA): The System of National accounts (SNA) was developed by United Nations with an aim to provide a comprehensive conceptual and accounting framework for compiling and reporting macroeconomic statistics for analysing and evaluating the performance of an economy. The origins of the SNA trace back to the 1947 Report of the Sub-Committee on National Income Statistics of the League of Nations Committee of Statistical Experts. The 1953 SNA was published under the auspices of the UNSC. It consisted of a set of six standard accounts and a set of 12 standard tables presenting detail and alternative classifications of the flows in the economy. The concepts and definitions of the accounts were widely applicable for most countries, including developing countries. Two slightly modified editions of the 1953 SNA were published. SNA was revised in 1960, 1964 and 1968 in view of country experiences in implementing SNA 1953, to improve consistency with IMFs Balance of Payments manual and to extend the scope by adding input output tables, balance sheets and to bring it closer to Material Product System (MPS) respectively .

  • A Framework of Trade Policy for Bhutan Compatible with the Gross National Happiness
    A Framework of Trade Policy for Bhutan Compatible with the Gross National Happiness This paper discusses the win–win relationship between the gross national happiness and trade policy, and attempts to analyze trade policy issues of Bhutan, namely inclusive growth, trade facilitation, incidence of tariffs, and World Trade Organization accession. It explores trade and industry policy that is compatible with the gross national happiness guidelines. It also points out that the structure of the Government of Bhutan is seemingly less oriented to trade policy than its neighbors, and suggests a new organization for promoting a more active and open trade policy. It concludes by underlining the importance of an active trade policy for Bhutan. A FRAMEWORK OF TRADE About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty.

  • Studies : the Danish Economy
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES studies The Danish economy ECONOMICAND FINANCIAL SERIES - 1980 14 COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES The Danish economy by Anders Ølgaard Professor of the Institute of Economics at the University of Copenhagen COLLECTION STUDIES Economic and Financial Series No 14 Brussels, August 1979 Cataloguing data can be found at the end of this publication © Copyright ECSC - EEC - EAEC, Brussels and Luxembourg, 1980 Printed in Luxembourg Reproduction authorized, in whole or in part, provided the source is acknowledged. ISBN: 92-825-0494-8 Catalogue number: CB-NI-79-014-EN-C - 3 PREFACE Following the establishment of the European Economic Community, a Committee of Experts was set up under the Chairmanship of Pierre Uri to prepare studies of the economic conditions of the member countries. The 'Report on the econ• omic situation in the countries of the Community' was published in 1958. Following the accession in 1973 of Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom, the Commission of the European Communities considered that it would be valu• able to supplement the Uri Report with a study on each of the new Member Sta• tes. On this occasion, however, the Commission followed a somewhat different procedure and commissioned separate studies from independent experts in each of the three countries. The studies 'The United Kingdom Economy' and 'The Irish Economy' appeared in 1975, as numbers 9 and 10 of 'Economic and Finan• cial Series', published by the Commission of the European Communities. The present study of the Danish economy was prepared by Professor Anders Ølgaard of the Institute of Economics at the University of Copenhagen.
