Although international trade is an incontestable driver of economic development, scientific literature still lacks the studies to assess the impact of the international trade in agricultural products on the EU economic growth. The agricultural sector is treated as specific in comparison to other economic sectors as the EU subsidisation policies causes distorted competition in both local and global agricultural markets. The main purpose of this article is to assess the impact of the international trade in agricultural products on the economic growth of EU28. The results of the correlation and regression analyses have revealed that the international trade in agricultural products (in particular, section I and III products) contributes only insignificant part, to the economic growth of EU28 through the following indicators: GDP in market prices, self-employment, employment in the agricultural sector, labour force rate, subsidies and other transfers. The results have also disclosed that while analysing the impact of the international trade in agricultural products on economic growth, there is no necessity to research export and import volumes in separate as agricultural export and import show nearly the same (only with insignificant value differences) determinants of economic growth promotion. Another important conclusion is that the international trade in agricultural products mainly comprises the trade in live animals and animal products (meat and edible meat offal, fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, dairy produce, birds' eggs, natural honey, edible products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included, and products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included) as well as animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products, prepared edible fats, and animal or vegetable waxes.

Mauriac, and probably several thousand other Frenchmen, have remarked that what worried them most about the United States and Russia was not the respects in which these countries differed but rather that they were fundamentally so much alike. If Mauriac had studied the history of the land-grant colleges and universities, he might have concluded that they were both the most Russian-like and the most thoroughly American sector of our education. Where else could one find schools so materialistically oriented or so (almost) successfully Jacksonian? To look at their history and their impact on American economic life over the past century is to examine a roaringly optimistic and an almost frighteningly successful endeavor to create the men—and the women—for a mass economy.

This book presents selected papers of the Euro-Asian Symposium on Economic Theory, held by the Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ekaterinburg, Russia) on June 29-30, 2022. The conference aims to promote research and develop effective solutions to urgent challenges in economic theory in the context of stability and uncertainty. The main theme of the 2022 Conference is the "Viability of Economic Theories". The chaos of the modern world forces us to rethink many theoretical positions. Researchers are trying to overcome the contradictions between theory and empiricism through new models, mechanisms and approaches. The challenges of recent social change have led to an adjustment in the perception, interpretation, and use of many concepts, necessitating an updating of these terms. The problems and contradictions identified in the studies will help to reconcile theoretical approaches with practice. The volume covers topics such as sustainable development issues, economic shocks in the history of economic thought, modern economic concepts of identity, theory of organizations under uncertainty, review of economic theories with the "Corona crisis," models of consumer behavior, business cycles, theory of investment, issues of economic growth and market equilibrium, impact of social factors on the sustainability of the economy, etc. Moveover, the volume presents new solutions for the synthesis of mainstream and political economy ideas. These topics will be of great interest to academics, researchers and practitioners

In this article the convergence of U.S. interregional interest rates in the late nineteenth century is examined and two major hypotheses are tested in the framework of a bank portfolio selection model based on the capital-asset-pricing model. Both the spread of the commercial paper market and the lowering of entry barriers through the reduction of national bank minimum capital requirements are rejected as principal explanations. The erosion of local monopoly power is shown to have been of central importance, and this development was due to the growth of state rather than national banks.

This Paper It has discussed economic rights contained in the major international economic instruments, namely the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the Declaration on the Right to Development; and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The Paper came against the background that there is need for nations, institutions and the international community to pay equal attention to economic and social rights as it does civil and political rights for in the final analysis, human rights are indivisible, inter-related and inter-dependent. The objective of this Paper, therefore, is to draw attention to this reality in order to reposition individuals and nations for economic prosperity and development. The Paper found among other things that the implementational mechanisms of these instruments are weak and ineffectual. It has also recommended amendments to the law and better strategies of implementation. ; Рассмотриваются проблемы реализации экономических прав, содержащихся в различных международных экономическо-правовых документах, среди которых Международный пакт об экономических, социальных и культурных правах, Декларация о праве на развитии, Африканская хартия прав человека и народов, существенно повлиявшие на развитие различных виды экономических прав. Указывается на существущие в документах противоречия, которые в сочетании со слабыми стратегиями реализации существенно ограничивают достижение поставленных целей. Сделано вывод, что странам, организациям и всему международному сообществу необходимо уделять равное внимание экономическим и социальным правам, поскольку в конечном итоге они учитывают гражданские и политические права, а права человека неразделимы, взаимосвязаны и взаимозависимы. ; Розглянуто проблеми реалізації економічних прав, що містяться в різних міжнародних економіко-правових документах. Наголошено, що інструменти реалізації міжнародних економічних прав існують як на регіональному, так і міжнародному рівнях, серед яких Міжнародний пакт про економічні, соціальні і культурні права, Декларація про право на розвиток, Африканська хартія прав людини і народів, які істотно вплинули на розвиток різних видів економічних прав на Африканському континенті. Окреслено певні суперечності, існуючі в цих документах, що поєднані зі слабкими стратегіями реалізації істотно обмежують можливість досягнення задекларованих у них цілей. Зроблено висновок, що країнам, організаціям і всьому міжнародному співтовариству необхідно приділяти однакову увагу як економічним, так і соціальним правам, оскільки в кінцевому підсумку вони враховують цивільні й політичні права, а права людини – нероздільні, взаємопов'язані й взаємозалежні. Таким чином мета статті – привернути увагу до існуючої реальності з метою підвищення якості та рівня життя людей, а також економічного процвітання і розвитку цілих народів. Визначено слабкі та неефективні механізми реалізації цих нормативних актів, надано рекомендації та поправки, а також запропоновано більш ефективні стратегії їх здійснення.

This thesis is about the socio-economic development process in the Soummam Valley, region of Kabylie in northern Algeria. The main issue is: How does the enterprises' agglomeration that has been formed on the territory of this valley, entail the establishment of a relatively effective territorial economic system (TES)? This question is all the more relevant as Algerian economy is mostly an annuitant one. Moreover, what are the characteristics of the socio-economic dynamics induced by this phenomenon of enterprises' agglomeration?Based on a strategy privileging heavy industries, the development policy that has long prevailed in Algeria relies on the idea that development is a process of socio-economic transformation initiated and led by the central government. More than 50 years after the political independence of Algeria, the national economy is neither densified nor diversified. It remains exclusively a mono-product (hydrocarbons) based economy and even more so a mono-export economy.However, over the last decades, one has witnessed a new approach to economic development issues, based on the concept of territory. In this approach, development refers to socio-economic dynamics initiated from below, by organized local actors who value the resources available on their territory. The relevance of this approach lies on the fact that these territorial dynamics refer both to a productive organization and a specific mode of regulation, in other words to the two interdependent elements that constitute the TES: the techno-economic system of production, ensuring the competitiveness of the territory, and the socio-institutional regulation system, ensuring its sustainability.This research aims to further understanding and enrichment of this relatively new development approach. Through an in-depth study of socio-economic dynamics focused on agribusiness activities in the Soummam Valley, we would like to show how the concept of territorial development constitutes an appropriate framework to the theoretical analysis, and how it ...

AbstractUsing a randomized experiment that we designed for the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey, this study conducts a conjoint analysis to explore the fertility potential among Chinese adults. We examine the separate impacts of different factors and their heterogeneity across social groups. The results suggest that fertility potential is context-dependent. In addition, greater economic resources and availability of childcare significantly increase fertility potential. However, preferences in terms of the care provider, family versus the market, vary by gender, educational level, and desired number of children. Notably, we also find that son preference no longer has a significant effect on fertility potential in China. In light of China's current low fertility, our study suggests that childbearing behavior will become increasingly differentiated by socioeconomic status. Fertility-enhancing policies should focus on supplementing economic resources and improving access to childcare.
