Pricing Theory, Financing of International Organisations and Monetary History (Routledge Explorations in Economic History)

This book presents the lifelong and ongoing research of Lawrence H. Officer in a systematic way. The result is an authoritative treatment of such issues as market structure and economic efficiency where more than one characteristic of a commodity is priced, both in general and in application to shipping conferences; financing of the United Nations and International Monetary Fund; monetary history of the UK and US; and central-bank preferences between gold and dollars, The book first examines multidimensional pricing, defined as pricing when a commodity or service has several characteristics that are priced. The second partis concerned with country-group conflicts in the United Nations and International Monetary Fund. The book then takes a fresh look at historical experiences of monetary-standard upheavals and the final part considers a crucial time (1958-67), during which central-bank gold-dollar decisions were power-politically determined.

Between September 30, 1950, and May 2, 1962, the value of the Canadian dollar was allowed to fluctuate. This situation, in conjunction with an abundance of Canadian quantitative data, provided Lawrence Officer with a unique opportunity to test theories concerning an economy under the influence of a fluctuating exchange rate. In order to explain the fluctuations that occurred, Mr. Officer set up a model of Canada's economy for the relevant time period. In contrast to conventional models, the exchange rate is the key variable in the system and the foreign sector receives particular attention because of its primary role in determining the exchange rate.

A New Balance of Payments for the United States, 1790–1919: International Movement of Free and Enslaved People, Funds, Goods and Services (Palgrave Studies in American Economic History)

This book develops new balance of payments statistics for the United States from 1790 to 1919, before official statistics were kept. Part I of this book justifies construction of a new&nbsp;balance of payments&nbsp;table, and Chapter 1 surveys existing tables from that standpoint. Chapter 2 shows how this book overcomes the limitations of Office of Business Economics and its North-Simon-Goldsmith foundation. Specific features are highlighted, including measurement decisions, improvement of OBE series, development of new series, and derived implications for the structure of the&nbsp;US&nbsp;economy and for the importance of individual sectors that loom large at various times: slave trade, shipping, manufacturing, and travel. The book then generates new time series of the movement of people, the movement of goods, the movement of funds, and the provision of services. Part VI puts the new balance of payments&nbsp;table to use in several ways: aggregates and balances within the table, structure of the&nbsp;US&nbsp;economy, and specific sectors of the economy (slave trade, shipping, manufacturing, travel). Finally, Part VII provides concluding comments.
