Decentralization Issues in Post-Conflict Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (preliminary draft)
Get PDFThe main advantage of decentralization over centralized government is its informational superiority. Local service delivery can then be tailored to the needs and preferences of the citizens. This paper analyses if this assertion, that holds for developed countries, is also valid in the case of a post-conflict low-income country. Since there is no panacea for successful decentralization, it then confronts theory with the case of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Finally the author assesses the new law on decentralization in this country.
"Overcoming America's Infrastructure Deficit, A Fiscally Responsible Plan for Public Capital Investment"
Get PDFCondemned bridges, dilapidated school buildings, contaminated water supplies, and other infrastructure shortcomings threaten American growth, productivity, and prosperity. S Jay Levy and Walter M. Cadette propose a plan for financing infrastructure projects that is designed to have minimal effect on the federal budget and to promote sound fiscal operation. Federal zero-interest mortgage loans to state and local governments for capital projects specified by Congress can cut the cost of such projects, achieve needed improvements in the nation's infrastructure, and thereby contribute to the American economy's future.
"What is the American Model Really About? Soft Budgets and the Keynesian Devolution "
Get PDFThe "American Model" serves as a point of reference in discussions of economic policy around the world especially in Europe; many claim that the American version of the free market represents an ideal type-it is the highest form of capitalism. The author argues, however, that the United States has relied heavily on government intervention in housing, health care, pensions, and education. Not only have these programs been largely successful and popular, they also provide a Keynesian stimulus to spending that help account for the strength of the U.S. economy. Now that the U.S. is in a weak, jobless recovery, the key to restoring growth may lie in the kinds of governmental programs that have helped to sustain and stabilize the U.S. economy in the past.
