The series will reissue out of print or limited edition articles or books of significant merit for policy makers, thus refo­ cusing attention on important development issues and their policy implications. We are extremely pleased to inaugurate this new series with lectures by Gottfried Hab. rler. In his career of more than half a century, he has made important contributions advancing the discipline of economics, especially in international trade and devel­ opment. His work in the areas of' comparative advantage and the welihre implications of free trade and protection ha, had a major influence on trade policy, and in turn has affected the course of de­ velopment economics. He has thus contributed to the advancement ofeconomic theory and the improvement of policy formulation. He has been widely recognized by the economics profession with honors such as the Fresidency of the American Economic Associa­ tion in 1963. The lectures are presented by an introduction, written for this publication, that clarifies certain issues of import to Professor Haberler. Spanning over thirty years, the lectures-the Cairn lectures of 1959 and the 1987 Pioneers lecture with comments by W. Max Corden and Ronald Findlay-demonstrate the timeless nature of Professor Haberler's analysis and policy recommenda­ tions. We are confident that these recommendations remain valu­ able for both economists and policymakers. Nicolds Ardito-Barletta General Director International Center for Economic Growth Panama City, Panama July, 1988 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gottfried Haberler is Galen L. Stone Professor of International Trade, emeritus, Harvard University. Over the course ofhis career, he has made )utstanding contributions in the field of economics, through his work in such areas as international trade, terms of trade, and foreign exchange. Professor Haberler is a former presi­ dent (1950-51) and honorary president (since 1953) of the Interna­ tional Economic Association, former president of the National Bureau of Economic Research (1955), and former president of the American Economic Association (1963). He has been awarded honora.y degrees from several Earopean universities. Among his many publications are his classic work The Theory of International Trade, with its Application to ConmerciailPolicy(1936), Prosperity and Depression (1937), and Selected Essays of GottfriedHaberler (1985). Professor Haberler is currently a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, in Washington, DC. Introduction More than thirty years have elapsed since I first wrote on economic development. More than a half century has passed since my first published paper on international trade and trade policy,1 and a quarter century lies between the lectures reprinted in this volume. 2 Much has changed during this time. The general posture of economic policy in many countries has changed. Our perceptions of the past have shifted. Methods of theoretical analysis have been refined-often to the point of zero marginal returns-and torrents of statistical data, often of questionable value, have surged from national governments and international agencies. I must confess that despite all these changes, I still maintain my early beliefs in the validity of classical or neoclassical theory"1 and the superiority of liberal economic policies-defining the term "economic liberalism" in the original, classical sense of relying largely on competitive markets and private enterprise. I do realize however, that by making unrealistic assumptions about inelasticities, rigidities, externalities, and the alleged irrational 2 GOTTFRIED HABERLER behavior of market, participants, especially lowly farmers in less developed countries (LDCs), it is possible to use the tools of neoclassical trade theory for developing logically valid arguments for pernicious interventionist and protectionist policies. The Decline and Resurgence of Economic Liberalism In my Pioneers lecture I noted that after World War II, when the problem o 'growth and development in the Third World was thrust upon the West by the breakup of the colonial empires, faith in capitalism and free markets was at an all-time low, especially among economists and intellectuals. I mentioned two reasons for the low level of confidence. First, the legacy ofthe Great Depression of the 1930s which was misinterpreted both by Marxists and by Keynes and his numerous followers as being due to a basic flaw in capitalism. Second, the apparent immunity ofStalin's Russia to the catastrophic depression that engulfed the West and the great early economic successes of Hitler's Germany strongly affected the Wes and persuaded many of Keynes' followers of the superiority of central planning over private enterprise and free markets. The lack of faith in the efficacy of the price mechanism was strikingly illustrated by the popularity of the theory of the permanent dollar shortage which was embraced not only by some radical followers of Keynes, such as Thomas (Lord) Balogh and Joan Robinson, but also by The Economist, and in a more sophisticated form by two ex­ tremely influential economists, J. R. Hicks and D. H. Robertson. In view of all this, it is not surprising that economic policy in most Third World countries has been, and in many countries still is, anything but liberal in the classical sense. In the Western democracies, the demise of economic liberalism did not last long. In Western Europe the change came dramatically in 1948 with the famous currency and economic reform in Ger­ many. The large monetary overhang inherited from the wvar was slashed, and the tight web ofprice and wage controls and consumer rationing that prevented the huge stock of money from driving up prices was abolished overnight. Many economists, especially fol­ lowers of Keynes such as Balogh and J. K. Galbraith, predicted dire consequences: the lifting of controls would create chaos, and the InternationalTradeand Economic Development 3 Soviet Zone of Germany would outproduce the

  • Análise Das Estratégias Argumentativas De Veja E Cartacapital Sobre O Processo De Impeachment De Dilma Rousseff
    Foi golpe ou não foi golpe? Análise das estratégias argumentativas de Veja e CartaCapital sobre o processo de impeachment de Dilma Rousseff Rejane de Oliveira Pozobon Jornalista. Doutora em Ciências da Comunicação. Professora do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Carolina Siqueira de David Jornalista. Doutoranda do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Resumo Este artigo analisa, a partir de estratégias argumentativas (BRETON, 1999, 2012), as construções dos discursos de Veja e Carta Capital sobre a nomenclatura do acontecimento impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. São quatro as estratégias elencadas com o propósito de identificar como as revistas reforçam o ponto de vista que defendem: autoridade, comunidade, reenquadramento e analogia. Outros conceitos angariados são o de acontecimento (FRANÇA, 2012; REBELO, 2006) e as especificidades do jornalismo de revista (SCHWAAB; TAVARES, 2013). Como conclusão, observam-se que as duas revistas se diferenciam quando argumentam sobre a nomenclatura do acontecimento impeachment: enquanto Carta Capital utiliza a denominação golpe, Veja rechaça essa nomenclatura. Palavras-chave Argumentação; acontecimento; Veja; CartaCapital; impeachment Dilma Rousseff. Abstract This article analyzes, based on the argumentative strategies (BRETON, 1999, 2012), the constructions of the discourses of Veja and CartaCapital on the nomenclature of Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment. There are four strategies listed with the purpose of identifying how magazines reinforce their point of view: authority, community, reframing and analogy. Other concepts raised are about the event (FRANÇA, 2012; REBELO, 2006) and the specificities of magazine journalism (SCHWAAB; TAVARES, 2013). As a conclusion, it can be observed that the two magazines differ when they argue about the nomenclature of impeachment process: while CartaCapital uses the denomination coup, Veja rejects this nomenclature.

  • Os Valores-Mesmos De Veja
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22484/2177-5788.2017v43n1p71-97 Os valores-mesmos de veja Wagner Belmonte Resumo: Esta pesquisa investiga como o enunciador Veja apresenta a sociedade norte-americana como modelo a ser seguido e de que forma ela seleciona seus valores-mesmos. Os Mesmos são figuras enunciadas que reúnem as séries de paisagens socioculturais e políticas construídas pela mídia e homólogas à valorização média de seus públicos. Nos valores-mesmos estão as diretrizes do pensamento liberal norte-americano: capitalismo, liberalismo econômico e os pontos nodais liberdade e prosperidade. São afastadas do espaço dos valores-mesmos de Veja, por exemplo, as figuras do criminoso, sem-terra, árabe, do excluído e do miserável. O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender como a revista constrói, através dos pontos nodais, a ideia de que os EUA são um referencial para inspirar o Brasil como nação. Nossa tese é a de que o enunciador se apoia no espectro ideológico do liberalismo econômico para adotar posições conservadoras e tradicionais, sobretudo politicamente. Quanto à metodologia de pesquisa, ela se baseia na análise de discurso proposta por Laclau, Mouffe, Prado, e Charaudeau. A expectativa é que este trabalho contribua para aprofundar o debate sobre a forma como a relação Brasil- Estados Unidos é apresentada, às vésperas de o título completar 50 anos. Palavras-chave: Veja. Relação Brasil-Estados Unidos. Discurso. Veja’s same values Abstract: This paper investigates how the enunciator of Veja presents the American society as a model to be followed, and in what way it selects its self-values.

  • Lionel Robbins on Economic Generalizations and Reality in the Light of Modern Econometrics
    Economica (2009) 76, 873–890 doi:10.1111/j.1468-0335.2009.00805.x Robbins on Economic Generalizations and Reality in the Light of Modern Econometrics By ROGER E. BACKHOUSEw and STEVEN N. DURLAUFz wUniversity of Birmingham and Erasmus University Rotterdam zUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison Final version received 27 February 2009. This paper examines Lionel Robbins’ critical attitude towards formal empirical work from the standpoint of modern econometrics. It argues that his attitude towards empirical work rested on indefensible assumptions and that he failed to realise that the role he saw for empirical work undermined his belief in the primacy of economic theory. This matters because Robbins’ attitudes are echoed in modern economics, best exemplified by the calibration methodology of Kydland and Prescott, which is vulnerable to similar criticisms. INTRODUCTION Economists take widely different positions on the role that empirical evidence should play in the development of substantive propositions. Contemporary macroeconomics is split between those who give primacy to theory, whether they employ calibration methods to link theory to data (Edward Prescott) or regard theory and econometrics as complementary (Lars Hansen and Thomas Sargent), and those who regard atheoretical analyses as fundamental (Christopher Sims).1 Similar disagreements exist within microeconomics. On the microeconometrics side, one finds competing paradigms between James Heckman, whose work focuses on the use of economic assumptions to account for self-selection and heterogeneity, those who adopt the essentially statistical assumptions employed in Donald Rubin’s causal model, and Charles Manski’s emphasis on asking what may be learned under minimal assumptions of any type. Other microeconomic research, for example Steven Levitt’s work on crime, focuses on the identification of natural experiments, so that econometric analysis is reduced to a trivial role.
