| Proposals to close the Minneapolis Upper Harbor, and convert the area to housing, light industry and recreational uses, would eliminate the barge movement of commodities to/from the Upper Harbor. Several proposals have assumed that this would also eliminate associated freight movement through this area of Minneapolis. However, there would still be a need to move materials such as sand and gravel, cement, steel products, and other construction materials into Minneapolis; and scrap metals from Minneapolis. Truck movements of grain, fertilizer and other commodities from/to northwest of Minneapolis would be rerouted over land through or around Minneapolis to utilize downstream harbors. This study estimates the private costs and public externality costs imposed... |

| To a large extent, economic factors explain the global growth of the tourism industry, the concentration of tourism in high-income countries, and the high degree of cross-border tourism between higher income countries themselves. This is discussed. In doing so, shortcomings of tourism statistics reported by the World Tourism Organisation are examined. These statistics can be quite misleading as a means of identifying the relative importance of tourism to different nations. This is shown by rank correlations and conceptually. Economics not only influences the geographical spread of tourism but it is a major determinant of market structures in the tourism industry. These industrial market structures, such as those involving monopolistic competition, combined... |

| This paper explores how revenue-neutral tax reforms impact employment and economic growth in a model of endogenous growth and search frictions on the labor market. We analyze how savings and the incentive to create new jobs are affected by tax swaps between wage income taxes, payroll taxes, capital income taxes and taxes levied on capital costs. In our framework, the payroll tax is found to be neutral. If this tax is used to finance a cut in the capital income tax, we will observe an increase in both growth and, via the capitalization effect, employment. Most other tax reforms, however, imply a trade-off between employment and growth. |

| Balanced and effective formalization of rules of corporate management are important for companies to implement reliable strategies and sustain on market. The paper outlines the board of directors’ responsibility within the OECD principles of corporate management. As the author states, relations between board of directors and a company management must be essentially improved in Kazakhstan. It is argued that the current state of board directors’ authority in Kazakhstan companies does not provide their involvement in developing and controlling strategic course and values on market. |

| The focus of this paper is on the conceptual and empirical problems that arise in the analysis of the administrative and political context of economic and social regulation in developing countries. After a discussion of the significance of dominant ideas in current debates on economic and social development policy, the paper examines the main characteristics of regulatory governance in developed economies, since the privatisation and regulatory reforms recently introduced into developing economies are broadly modelled on developed country experience. It is argued that regulatory reforms need to be analysed in the broader context of the new public management (NPM) and governance reforms which have been spreading across both developed and developing systems... |
