This book consists of the papers presented at a conference held in July, 1972, organized by Robert Aliber on behalf of the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. It contains an introduction by Aliber, which is largely an explanation of the rationale behind the organization of the conference ("national interdependency and international consistency" in international monetary affairs), 16 formal papers, a summary of the discussion and some concluding observations by Harry Johnson. The topics covered are organized under five headings: Models of Monetary Interdependence; Investor Expectations and Monetary Interdependence; Euro-dollars and Euro-money; Monetary Independence and Sterilization; Monetary Interdependence and the International System. The book is a useful addition to the literature. Taken collectively, the papers provide us with a benchmark for evaluating the state of the art (unsatisfactory) and an enumeration of theoretical and empirical problems. With its broad coverage of topics and different levels of analytical rigor, it will prove helpful to a variety of students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Essays in International Economics contains eleven of Fleming's previously published papers, and two hitherto unpublished ones. Many of the papers will already be familiar to academic economists: several constitute classics in the field. The Essays are grouped into three categories: trade restrictions and welfare; international monetary reform; and balance of payments policy and the adjustment process. Despite the fact that the arrangement within each group is chronological, the three subjects also correspond closely to the chronological order in which various issues in international economics have emerged since World War II. Thus, the first three papers are concerned with ways in which welfare can be maximized when trade restrictions and exchange control must be accepted as givens. The first paper, "On Making the Best of Balance-of-Payments Restrictions," focusses upon ways in which one could approach optimality given that some currencies are "stronger" than others, and that quantitative restrictions must therefore result. As an early attempt to deal with a "second-best" problem, the paper is of considerable interest. The second paper--"The Optimal Tariff from an International Standpoint"--concerns the ways in which poor countries could use their monopoly power in trade to enhance international welfare if the world welfare function attaches greater weights to improvements in real income in poor countries than in rich. Despite the fact that the developing countries generally impose duties upon imports, in which their monopoly power is probably zero, rather than taxing exports where some monopoly power does exist, the result is of some theoretical importance. The final paper of the first section, published in 1956, focusses upon estimating the real income loss associated with trade restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This book about less-developed regions, is a supplementary volume to the Journal of Industrial Economics. It is edited by Professor Thomas Wilson. The nine papers, by ten authors, range widely. Mr.R.Garnsey records the experience of Courtaulds in a viscose filament factory established in 1950 in Northern Ireland. Three papers are devoted to regional problems and policies. One, by Mr.G. Humphrys, deals with South Wales; a second, by Mr.P.J.Bowden, is concerned with the North East of England; and the third, by Professor W.J.L. Ryan and Mr.M.O'Donoghue, is devoted to the Republic of Ireland. There follow two comparative studies--one of regional planning in France by Mr.M.C.MacLennan, and the other of planning in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada by Dr.A.C.Parks. The three remaining papers discuss matters which are both relevant and important for regional planning in the United Kingdom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
