Globalization and the Economic Report of the President

Journal of Economic Literature 2005
T here are two chapters in the ERP that deal with globalization, one on immigration and another on international trade. Both are topics that have given the Bush Administration heartburn. Before 9/11, the administration upset Republican lawmakers by suggesting it might endorse an amnesty to illegal immigrants. After 9/11, and the discovery that several of the hijackers were in the country illegally, discussion of an amnesty was quietly shelved. On trade, the first Bush term witnessed conflict with Europe over U.S. tariffs on imported steel and tax subsidies to U.S. exporters, outcry over former CEA chairman Gregory Mankiw's approving remarks on global outsourcing by U.S. companies, and battles in Congress over the Central American Free Trade Agreement and other proposed trade treaties. This legacy may account for the somewhat defensive tone the

The ERP's Analysis of the Adverse Macroeconomic Effects of Oil Price Increases

Journal of Economic Literature 2005
The SARS-CoV-2 has been spread to 26 countries around the world since its outbreak. By February 16, 2020, more than 68 000 people had been diagnosed with COVID-19. Researchers from all over the world have carried out timely studies on this public health emergency and produced a number of scientific publications. This review aims to re-analyze and summarize the current research findings in a timely manner to guide scholars in relevant fields to further SARS-CoV-2 research and assist healthcare professionals in their work and decision-making. The SARS-CoV-2 related terms were selected in both English and Chinese and were searched in several major databases, including Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases. The reference list of each search result was screened for relevance, which was further supplemented to the search results. The included studies were categorized by topics with key characteristics extracted, re-analyzed, and summarized. A total of 301 articles were finally included with 136 in Chinese and 165 in English. The number of publications has rapidly increased since mid-January, 2020, and a peak day was 6th February on which 50 articles were published. The top three countries publishing articles were China, the United States and the United Kingdom. The Lancet and its specialty journals have published the most articles, with contribution also from journals such as New England Journal of Medicine ( NEJM ), The Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ), and Nature . All articles were categorized into epidemiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment, basic research, pregnant women and children, mental health, epidemic prevention & control, and others. The literatures related to SARS-CoV-2 are emerging rapidly. It is necessary to sort out and summarize the research topic in time, which has a good reference value for staff in different positions. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the judgment of the quality of literatures.

"Options for Tax Reform": Review of the 2005 Economic Report of the President's Tax Chapter

Journal of Economic Literature 2005
the 1970s there was no organized effort to keep Kiss, or other immigrant-headed bands such as Abba or the Village People, out of the United States.) In a similar fashion, pressure from U.S. farmers and other employers may account for why it is that each year 300,000 illegal immigrants succeed in entering and finding work in the United States (Passel, Capps, and Fix 2004). For any presidential administration, globalization is likely to be a tricky subject. The gains from international economic integration are spread among a diffuse group of consumers, while the losses are concentrated in specific industries and regions. Into the debate, economists can interject dispassionate analysis of the costs and benefits associated with cross-border flows of goods, capital, and labor. On immigration and trade, the ERP gets many things right, but it falters when discussing the distributional consequences of globalization. This may be driven in part by the report's predictable but still discomforting tendency to cheerlead for the president's policy proposals. In the end, we are left with a discussion of globalization's consequences that is less balanced and complete than one might have hoped. REFERENCES
