Medicare Prescription Drug Legislation: What It Means For Rural Beneficiaries, Jeanne Lambrew, Becky Briesacher Sep 2003

Medicare Prescription Drug Legislation: What It Means For Rural Beneficiaries, Jeanne Lambrew, Becky Briesacher

Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications

Congress is currently debating legislation that would not only add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare but create an unprecedented role for private health insurers in delivering all Medicare services. Such changes would have profound effects on the 41 million people covered by Medicare -- particularly the one in four who lives in rural America. Previous studies have shown that rural beneficiaries have different health care needs and delivery systems than their urban counterparts. Indeed, the bills that passed the House and Senate address payments to rural hospitals and other providers. However, less attention has been paid to the rural …

A Review Of Nigeria’S Exchange Rate Policies Since Deregulation In 1986, External Sector Division Sep 2003

A Review Of Nigeria’S Exchange Rate Policies Since Deregulation In 1986, External Sector Division

Economic and Financial Review

This article examined foreign exchange policy measures adopted since 1986. Nigeria's economic policy prior to 1986 was characterized by the overwhelming influence of oil and public sector dominance of productive activities. Prior to this period, the economy faced serious crisis and was characterized by an over-valued currency, low oil receipts, depleted external reserves and high import bills, emergence of trade arrears and rapid accumulation of debts. The various measures adopted were aimed at restructuring the economy and diversifying its revenue base, as well as achieving a realistic exchange rate for the naira. An appraisal of these exchange rate policies indicated …

Funded Pensions, Labor Market Participation, And Economic Growth, Mark A. Roberts, Eric O'N. Fisher Sep 2003

Funded Pensions, Labor Market Participation, And Economic Growth, Mark A. Roberts, Eric O'N. Fisher

Economics

This paper analyses a model of overlapping generations in which agents who do not participate in the labor market are unable to borrow. Thus an increase in a fully funded pension raises aggregate savings even with a fixed participation rate since private savings are not crowded out one-for-one. When labor force participation is determined endogenously, a rise in the level of fully funded pensions increases the aggregate labor supply. This in turn increases aggregate savings and growth, directly by raising per capita savings and indirectly through tax and interest rate effects.

La Influencia Regional Y El Apoyo Ciudadano A Las Reformas Neoliberales Mexicanas, Charles L. Davis, Jorge E. Figueroa Sep 2003

La Influencia Regional Y El Apoyo Ciudadano A Las Reformas Neoliberales Mexicanas, Charles L. Davis, Jorge E. Figueroa

Political Science Faculty Publications

Por medio de encuestas de opinión pública llevadas a cabo en México en los años de 1991 y 1996, el presente estudio examina empíricamente las bases regionales de apoyo popular a las reformas neoliberales (privatizaciones y el TLC). Se encontró que el apoyo ciudadano a estas reformas fue mayor en las regiones económicamente más avanzadas como el norte y el Distrito Federal y menor en los estados sureños y centrales, a pesar de que el nivel de este apoyo declinó en todas las regiones entre 1991 y 1996. Se analizan dos hipótesis alternativas para explicar las variaciones regionales de apoyo …
