Policy performance and output growth in the transition economies

Article Abstract:

Better domestic policies have powerful and statistically significant effects on economic growth. Improved policies also have positive effects on investors as indicated by foreign direct investment flows. For both transition countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU) and central Europe, the effect of policies on economic growth are significant. For FSU countries, however, there is a negative effect in the beginning which may indicate more unfavorable conditions.

Changes in U.S. tariffs: the role of import prices and commercial policies

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the historical basis for changes in US tariffs attribute the erosion of tariff to the transfer of tariff-negotiating authority to the President in 1934. Prior to the transfer, the basis for the setting of tariffs were based on the preferred mode of import control by the dominant political party, which took the form of specific duties formulated by the Republicans for its ease of enforceability and its support for protectionist policies.
