    The adding up problem
    (1989-03) Balassa, Bela
    The "Adding Up Problem", or the "Fallacy of Composition", has been with us for sometime. In presenting the favorable economic results of countries following outward-oriented policies, or advocating the adoption of such policies in other countries, one often encounters the objection:"But what would happen if everyone did the same?"The implicit, or explicit, contention is that there would not be enough markets, or that protectionist reactions would be triggered in the developed world, as a result of the onslaught of exports by the developing countries.

    (1990) Thomas, W. John; Grindle, Merilee S

    Agricultural policy analysis project phase II: Adjustment and agriculture issue for the 1990's
    (1991-02-25) Christensen, Cheryl
    Adjustment lending began as a response to the financial crises in developing countries during the late 1970s. Stabilization programs, generally undertaken with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were designed to quickly reduce chronic balance of trade deficits through measures which often contracted domestic demand. Structural adjustment lending generally undertaken by the World bank complemented stabilization programs by focusing on measures to make the economy more efficient and to stimulate the supply of tradable goods.

    Application of quantitative tools for planing: The case of Sri lanka
    (1998-02) Siripala, Nimal
    In 1947 the Finance Minister of then Ceylon, presented the country's first development plan covering six years 1947 to 1953. Since then till 1977, the country has had another six years investment programme, a ten year plan, a five year plan and several implementation plans of one years duration. Immediately after the 1977 change of Government the idea of planing was discredited but the attitude did not last long and circumstance need for better economic management had created a demand for some type of planing. Thus concept of roiling plan was adopted instead of fixed period planning.

    Applications, issues and future prospects of quantitative tools in economic planning : Nepalese Experience
    (1998-02) Khanal, D.R; Khatiwada, Raj Yuba
    The history of economic modeling in Nepal is not very long. The initial attempt in this direction was made in the early 1980s by individual researchers rather than by planning agency and other government institutions. These models therefore were developed and constructed with limited research objectives, Among these models one examined the role of the monetary sector and another made an effort to assess the macro-economic impact of the public expenditure on real sector of the Nepalese economy.

    (1991-11) Doner, Richard F
    The pacific RIM'S record of impressive economic growth over the past twenty years is now well known. While most obvious in Japan this expansion has been striking in the East Asian Newly industrialized countries (NICs): Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. But it has also occurred to varying degrees in four of the original members of the association of southeast Asian Nations Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.In addition to increases in overall output each of these four economies has achieved a considerable degree of restructuring in favor of manufacturing and away from commodity production since the 1970s.

    The Asia-Pacific region and the United Nations
    (1996-09-02) Thakur, Ramesh; M. Makinda, Samuel
    How can the changing profile of the Asia-Pacific in world affairs be best reflect in the United Nations system? On the basis of the relationship between economics and security this article argues that East Asian states are developing the economic military and political capacity to play a greater role in U.N activities. Secondly after conceptualizing the meanings of representation, it argues that Asian countries can broaden and deepen the representative base of the security Council and other U.N organs.Thirdly East Asian states need to make a greater commitment to the United Nations in order to try to leverage the intrusive effects of western ideas on human rights state sovereignty and similar issues.Equally the major powers must demonstrate the will capacity and and means to accommodate the Asian tigers so as to strengthen U.N credibility and effectiveness.

    Assessing the relationship between infrastructure and regional development in Sri Lanka.
    (1995-05) Guild, L. Robert; Richardson, W. Harry
    The goals of regional development policy include the creation of the necessary conditions for a dynamic spatial economic structure and the promotion of the growth of productive activity. One of the means to achieve these goals is an infrastructure policy that facilitates economic growth. From this perspective the provision of infrastructure at the regional level can be considered an investment in the future of a region.
