Abstract
This research is conducted to analyze management strategy in improving traditional fishers' welfare. Firstly, probability sampling is used to determine the sample of 125 fishers and collected by using questionnaire. Data are analyzed quantitatively using SWOT (Strengths Weaknessess Opportunities Threats) to formulate the management strategies. Secondly, non probability sampling is used to identify 16 informants and collected data by using 'AHP' (Aanlytical Hierarchy Process) program to identify priority of variables, indicators and strategies which effectively affect the improvement of traditional fishers' welfare. Results show that the variables and indicators improvement of traditional fishers' welfare are: (1) environmental change, (2) adaptive behaviour, (3) coastal development. Management strategies to improve fishers' welfare include: (1) human resource development, (2) income generating/investment and business development, (3) infrastructure development, (4) tourism development, and (5) law and regulation enforcement. Keywords: management strategies, fisher's welfare, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), strengths weaknessess, opportunities, threats (SWOT), coastal development.
Government Deficits in Large Open Economies: The Problem of Too Little Public Debt
Abstract
Large and growing levels of public debt in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and the Euro Area raise new interest in the cross-country effects of a large open economy’s deficits. The authors consider a dynamic optimising model with costly tax collection and exogenously given public spending and initial debt. They ask whether the externalities associated with an individual country’s deficits are positive or negative. They characterise the path of taxes in the Nash equilibrium where policy makers act nationalistically and compare this outcome to the global optimal outcome.
Fairness and the Disinflation Puzzle
Abstract
Following Driscoll and Holden (Fairness and Inflation Persistence, 2004), I model forward-looking workers who consider it unfair if a wage adjustment fails to match past inflation. However, the present paper proposes a much larger effect by using the job finding rate as the measure of workers’ opportunities outside the firm rather than the unemployment rate, develops a dynamic model with imperfect monitoring, and simulates a credible gradual disinflation with a large sacrifice ratio. It also uses the model to discuss real adverse shocks, the manner in which indexation is used in New Keynesian models, and the use of sticky information to explain disinflation costs.
