PDF Ebook Measuring The Digital Economy

Submitted by antoq on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 09:01

The growth, integration, and sophistication of information technology and communications is changing our society and economy. Consumers now routinely use computer networks to identify sellers, evaluate products and services, compare prices, and exert market leverage. Businesses use networks even more extensively to conduct and re-engineer production processes, streamline procurement processes, reach new customers, and manage internal operations.

While the burgeoning use of electronic devices in our economy is widely acknowledged and discussed, it remained largely undefined and unrecognized in official economic statistics. The Census Bureau initiated an aggressive program in 2000 to begin filling this data gap. This paper describes the Census Bureau measurement framework, definitions, strategy, data collection initiatives, initial results, and future plans. The fact that electronic business is in its infancy, yet growing and changing rapidly, poses special problems. A summary of the lessons we have learned over the past two years of this initiative is provided at the end of the paper.

Ebook Economic Objectives, Public-Sector Deficits and Macroeconomic Stability in Zimbabwe

Submitted by puput on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 03:17

Government interventions to redistribute income and to improve living standards are part of a policy package, the components of which will be interdependent but not necessarily consistently integrated. Efforts to alleviate poverty in rural areas, to redistribute income, to promote agricultural development or to create jobs will be constrained by other macroeconomic and sectoral policies, and will, in turn, affect the outcomes of those policies. Furthermore, the outcomes of policies will be modified by exogenous shocks, which may themselves require action by the government to reduce their impact.

This paper is concerned primarily with fiscal policy. Other papers have concluded that the fiscal stance undermined many of the government’s development initiatives. The central economic problem facing Zimbabwe is the size of the fiscal deficit and mounting public-sector debt. Monetary policy bears the burden of adjustment, and is concerned essentially with financing the deficit in a non-inflationary way. Domestic dissaving necessitates external adjustment, achieved in the 1980s by direct controls on foreign exchange allocations and in the 1990s by large devaluations of the Zimbabwe dollar and by monetary compression. The public-sector deficit remains the primary cause of economic imbalance, undermining attempts at adjustment both without the support of the international financial institutions in the 1980s and with more foreign aid under the Economic Structural Adjustment Programme (ESAP) in the 1990s.

Ebook Determinants of Outsourcing Transaction Cost Economics and Core Competencies Theory

Submitted by wulan on Tue, 05/11/2010 - 05:54

This paper focuses on how do firms make the outsourcing decisions and deeply research into the determinants for outsourcing decision. Meanwhile, this paper pays attention to the potential outsourcing market in China and treats the Chinese company differently from the previous views, considering them more as outsourcers than outsourcing suppliers.

Through the literature review, I will give a definition and classification to the term “outsourcing”; then analyze the factors that influence the outsourcing decisions from the transaction cost and companies’ core competence perspectives. A decision model will be introduced in my paper based on the previous literatures. A case study focuses on how companies solved outsourcing problem will be presented and analyzed according to my model.
