  • “Exceptional and Unimportant”? Externalities, Competitive Equilibrium, and the Myth of a Pigovian Tradition
    “Exceptional and Unimportant”? Externalities, Competitive Equilibrium, and the Myth of a Pigovian Tradition Steven G. Medema* Version 2.3 January 2019 Forthcoming, History of Political Economy * University Distinguished Professor of Economics, University of Colorado Denver. Email: [email protected]. The author has benefitted greatly from comments on earlier drafts of this paper provided by Roger Backhouse, Nathalie Berta, Ross Emmett, Kenji Fujii, Kerry Krutilla, Alain Marciano, Norikazu Takami, participants in the CHOPE workshop at Duke University, the editor, and two anonymous referees. The financial support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Earhart Foundation, the Institute for New Economic Thinking, and the University of Colorado Denver is gratefully acknowledged. “Exceptional and Unimportant”? Externalities, Competitive Equilibrium, and the Myth of a Pigovian Tradition I. Introduction Economists typically locate the origins of the theory of externalities in A.C. Pigou’s The Economics of Welfare (1920), where Pigou suggested that activities which generate uncompensated benefits or costs—e.g., pollution, lighthouses, scientific research— represent instances of market failure requiring government corrective action.1 According to this history, Pigou’s effort gave rise to an unbroken Pigovian tradition in externality theory that continues to exert a substantial presence in the literature to this day, even with the stiff criticisms of it laid down by Ronald Coase (1960) and others beginning in the 1960s.2 This paper challenges that view. It demonstrates that, in the aftermath of the publication of The Economics of Welfare, economists paid almost no attention to externalities. On the rare occasions when externalities were mentioned, it was in the context of whether a competitive equilibrium could produce an efficient allocation of resources and to note that externalities were an impediment to the attainment of the optimum.

    BOB BLACK Robert Denis Collison Black 1922–2008 Early years ROBERT DENIS COLLISON BLACK, Bob Black to an international circle of friends, was born 11 June 1922 at Morehampton Terrace, Dublin.1 His father, William Robert Black, was company secretary for a small group of companies in the grain trade.2 His mother was Rosa Anna Mary, née Reid. Dublin at the time of Black’s birth was experiencing considerable disturbance, though he rarely alluded to this.3 Black was educated at Sandford Park School, Dublin. However he became disenchanted with the school4 and contrived, astonishingly, to enter Trinity College, Dublin at the age of 15. Even more remarkably, he seems to have managed perfectly well as a 15-year old amongst much older students. He managed to complete two undergraduate degree courses. He enrolled for a commerce degree, but Trinity at that time required those 1 The family moved to Waltham Terrace when Black was fi ve. Bob Black gave a long and detailed interview to Antoin Murphy and Renee Prendergast which was published in his Festschrift. See A. Murphy and R. Prendergast (eds.), Contributions to the History of Economic Thought. Essays in Honour of R. D. C. Black (London, 2000), p. 3. 2 Black gave another interview which is recorded in K. Tribe, Economic Careers. Economics and Economists in Britain 1930–1970 (London, 1997). See Tribe, p. 96, for the occupation of Black’s father. The latter was a considerable expert in his fi eld. I can remember Black telling me how he could sniff a handful of grain and detect its origin.

ANSWER: As I have stated numerous times in the campaign, I personally disapprove of abortions. I do not believe government should encourage abortions nor pay for the cost of abortions. The efforts of government should be directed towards minimizing abortions. However, I do not support Constitutional amendments to overturn the current Supreme Court ruling on abortions. I do recognize the right of those who wish to amend the Constitution to do so and would certainly not impede the exercise of their rights to amend th� Constitution on a matt�r about which they obviously feel they have a very strong religious and moral concern. If within the confines of the Supreme Court ruling we can work out legislation to minimize abortion with bettet family. planning, adoptidn procedures, and contraception for those who desire it, I �auld favor such.a law.

  • Political Pressures on Monetary Policy During the US Great Inflation†
    American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics 2012, 4(2): 33–64 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/mac.4.2.33 Political Pressures on Monetary Policy During the US Great Inflation† By Charles L. Weise* Drawing on an analysis of Federal Open Market Committee FOMC documents, this paper argues that political pressures on the( Federal) Reserve were an important contributor to the rise in inflation in the United States in the 1970s. Members of the FOMC understood that a serious attempt to tackle inflation would generate opposition from Congress and the executive branch. Political considerations contributed to delays in monetary tightening, insufficiently aggressive anti-inflation policies, and the premature abandonment of attempts at disinflation. Empirical analysis verifies that references to the political environment at FOMC meetings are correlated with the stance of monetary policy during this period. JEL D72, E32, E52, ( E58, N12 ) hat accounts for the Federal Reserve’s failure to control inflation in the WUnited States in the 1970s? One important set of factors has been highlighted in recent research by Romer and Romer 2002 , Nelson 2005 , Orphanides 2002, ( ) ( ) ( 2003, 2004 , and others. The argument set forth by these authors, which Romer ) 2005 calls the “ideas” hypothesis, is that the Federal Reserve’s errors were rooted ( ) in the beliefs that policymakers held about the structure of the economy. These beliefs included an unrealistically low estimate of the natural rate of unemploy- ment, the belief that observed inflation had little to do with monetary policy and that monetary policy could do little to combat it, and an overly pessimistic estimate of the costs of disinflation.
