  • anthrax as a potential biological warfare agent
    JAMA Internal Medicine, 1998
    Co-Authors: James C Pile, John D Malone, Edward M Eitzen, Arthur M Friedlander
    Abstract:

    Anthrax is a zoonotic illness recognized since antiquity. Today, human anthrax has been all but eradicated from the Industrialized World, with the vast majority of practitioners in the United States unlikely to have seen a case. Unfortunately, the disease remains endemic in many areas of the World, and anthrax poses a threat as a mass casualty‐ producing weapon if used in a biological warfare capacity. Arch Intern Med. 1998;158:429-434

  • financial regulation monetary policy and inflation in the Industrialized World
    2008
    Co-Authors: Mark Copelovitch, David Andrew Singer
    Abstract:

    This article argues that the institutional mandates of central banks have an important influence on inflation outcomes in the advanced Industrialized countries. Central banks that are also responsible for bank regulation will be more sensitive to the profitability and stability of the banking sector and therefore less likely to alter interest rates solely on the basis of price stability objectives. When bank regulation is assigned to a separate agency, the central bank is more likely to enact tighter monetary policies geared solely toward maintaining price stability. An econometric analysis of inflation in 23 industrial countries from 1975 to 1999 reveals that inflation is significantly higher in those countries with central banks that are vested with bank regulatory responsibility, although this effect is conditional on the choice of exchange rate regime and the relative size of the banking sector. We also conduct a case study of the Bank of England, which lost its bank regulatory authority to a new agency in 1998. We find that the new Labour government under Tony Blair imposed the institutional change on the Bank of England in part to remove the bank stability bias from its monetary policymaking. These findings suggest that the mandates of central banks not only have important influences on macroeconomic outcomes, but may also be modified in the future by governments seeking to impose their own monetary policy preferences.

  • urban transport in developing countries
    Transport Reviews, 2003
    Co-Authors: K M Gwilliam
    Abstract:

    Based on the recent World Bank urban transport strategy review "Cities on the move", the paper examines the critical differences between the urban transport problems facing cities in the developing and Industrialized Worlds. Premature congestion and deteriorating environmental safety and security conditions are seen as endemic in the developing country cities. Although the proportion of urban space devoted to movement is often relatively low in the developing World, rates of motorization are seen to be not untypical of those experienced in Industrialized countries at similar average income levels. Hence rather than explaining the differences primarily in terms of natural endowments, the paper emphasizes the different and weaker policy and institutional contexts in which urban transport is typically performed in developing countries. It argues that the Industrialized World, and particularly the multilateral banks and aid agencies, can make their most effective contribution to development by concentrating o...

  • demography and housing demand what can we learn from residential construction data
    Journal of Population Economics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Thomas Lindh, Bo Malmberg
    Abstract:

    There are obvious reasons why residential construction should depend on the population’s age structure. We estimate this relation on Swedish time series data and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development panel data. Large groups of young adults are associated with higher rates of residential construction, but there is also a significant negative effect from those above 75. Age effects on residential investment are robust and forecast well out-of-sample in contrast to the corresponding house price results. This may explain why the debate around house prices and demography has been rather inconclusive. Rapidly aging populations in the Industrialized World makes the future look bleak for the construction industry.
