Thank you to the Australian Industry Group for an invitation to return to your annual conference. It is a pleasure to be here. Since this is my third appearance here, I thought it might be useful to give a brief history of the past couple of years as a prelude to making some observations about the current state of things, and about some of the issues for the year ahead. As we all know, the year...
The publication in 1984 of Richard Freeman and James Medoff’s What Do Unions Do?, which summarized and synthesized results from their broad-based research program, was a landmark in labor economics and industrial relations. What Do Unions Do? quickly changed the subject matter and approach for scholars studying unions. The models (or descriptions) of unions employed by labor economists were ext...
This paper examines the relation between financial, corporate and legal systems, and economic performance in different countries. It reviews international comparisons that undertake detailed analyses of individual, developed countries and studies that use large, cross-country data banks, including developing countries. While the former do not provide evidence of a clear relation between differe...
Sah (1991) conjectured that more centralized societies should have more volatile economic performances than less centralized ones. We show in this paper that this is true both for cross-country and within-country variability in growth rates. It is also true for some measures of policies. Finally, we show that both the best and worst performers in terms of growth rates are more likely to be auto...
The earlier essay came about at Ismail Serageldin's behest. He felt it would be a worthwhile exercise if I were to connect the ideas developed in Dasgupta (1993) with those in Putnam (1993), to see if the concept of social capital has potency for an understanding of the kinds of institution that are most likely to protect and promote human well-being in poor countries. The earlier essay and the...

Conjoint action is possible just in proportion as human beings can rely on each other. There are countries in Europe, of first-rate industrial capabilities, where the most serious impediment to conducting business concerns on a large scale, is the rarity of persons who are supposed fit to be trusted with the receipt and expenditure of large sums of money. John Stuart Mill, Principles of Politic...
As demonstrated in recent disasters such as the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe) earthquakes, urban areas can suffer potentially large economic losses when highway transportation systems are damaged in seismic events. This paper addresses the development of performance measures for highway systems that are suitable for estimating the economic impact of earthquake damage. Economic ...
This paper introduces an economically motivated performance measure for variance forecasts based on variance trading. The performance measure is constructed within a microeconomic framework that mimics the decision-making process of a variance trader who uses volatility forecasts to predict future profitability of a trade. The new performance measure can serve as a useful complement to more tra...
