Obama to sign health bill, take it on the road
|
| |
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is preparing to sign a transformative health care bill ushering in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the nation's history — and then hit the road to sell it to a reluctant public.

eBook 1: Effective Rates of Protection and Foreign Direct Investment
Effective rate of protection (ERP) has been widely used in measuring trade protection since Corden (1966). This index has been refined in several ways to adjust for input
substitutions, non-traded inputs, exchange rate effects, imperfectly competitive markets,
multi-national firms and so on; however, the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI),
which is one of the most prevalent issues of the last decade, on ERP have been ignored
in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to utilize the ERP definition `a la Anderson
(1998) to highlight the impact of FDI on ERP. This paper shows that when FDI is taken
into account, the measurement of the ERP no longer monotonically increases along with
tariff rates on final goods. This result contradicts conventional wisdom concerning ERP
measurement.
eBook 1: Hierarchy Design with Socialism in Internal Capital Markets
This paper compares the efficiency of flat and tall hierarchies from the perspective
of “socialism in internal capital markets” (SICM) – a recently documented problem of
multi-segment firms in which high-profit segments tend to be underinvested and low-profit
segments tend to be overinvested. SICM is characterized with the possibility of divisionalization– grouping elementary business segments into divisions and delegating decisions to division managers, which transforms flat hierarchies into tall hierarchies.
eBook 1: Input Price Contracts and Strategic Delegation with Downstream Duopoly
This paper examines how input price contracts by an upstream monopolist affect
the incentive schemes that owners of downstream duopolists offer their managers. In the
Cournot case, under a floating price contract in which the upstream supplier chooses the
input prices after the managerial incentive schemes are made, the owners of the downstream
firms compensate their managers for profits while penalizing them for sales.
