| | In the United States, government units own and manage the public school system, public highways and bridges, dams for the reclamation of land and for power (and the management and sale of power), and many other enterprises. | | | In Europe, where public ownership is more extensive and of longer standing than in the United States, it includes railroads, telephone and telegraph lines, and radio and television and was extended to coal mining, other power resources, and banking. | | | Public ownership is to be distinguished from government control of private enterprises in utilities, business, and agriculture. |

| | Socialist economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Socialist economics is a term which refers in its descriptive sense to the economic effects of nations with large state sectors where the government directs the kind and nature of production. | | | Cooperatives or communes have existed, and competed, in market economies like the United Kingdom and Israel. | | | The aim of implementing a socialist ownership structure is to create an economy that acts in the direct interest of workers, members, or the general populace, rather than a capitalist class. |

| | Say's Law and Supply Side Economics |
| | If the economy had really been in trouble, some might have thought that welcome, but the economy was already recovering from the recession of 1949, nothing of the sort explains the prosperity of 1946-1949, and military spending, of course, does not produce the consumer goods characteristic of the economy of the 1950's. | | | That is called "deflation," and it is what happened in the United States from the end of the Civil War until 1896, while the United States grew into the largest economy in the world [cf. | | | Even today, economics is often still thought of in "underconsumptionist" terms -- not often by economists but frequently in politics and in public debate -- and the Los Angeles Times still prints articles to the effect that the basic problem of economics is "how to achieve sufficient demand to absorb available production" [3]. |

| | IVR - Encyclopaedia of Jurisprudence, Legal Theory and Philosophy of Law |
| | Economic analysis of law, or as it is sometimes called “law and economics,” is at present the largest and most influential interdisciplinary field of legal studies, at least in the United States, though its influence is growing elsewhere, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and East Asia (including China, Japan, and Taiwan). | | | Indeed little more is required to generate most of the implications of economic analysis for law than the assumption that most people in most areas of life prefer more (provided it’s more of a good than a bad) to less. | | | The distinctive characteristic of that school is the recourse to economics both to explain the procedures, institutions, and substantive doctrines of the law and to propose reforms in those procedures, institutions, and doctrines. |

| | In the United States, the leading academic department for Marxian economics (and heterodox economics more generally) is at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. | | | Marx's theories of business cycles; of economic growth and development (especially in two sector models) and of the declining rate of profit, are other important elements of Marxian economics. | | | The adherents of Marxian economics, particularly in academia, distinguish it from Marxism as a political ideology, arguing that Marx's approach to understanding the economy is an intellectually valuable one, independent of Marx's advocacy for revolutionary socialism or the inevitability of proletarian revolution. |

| | Supply-side economics provided the political and theoretical foundation for a remarkable number of tax cuts in the United States and other countries during the eighties. | | | Supply-side economics stresses the impact of tax rates on the incentives for people to produce and to use resources efficiently. | | | An important piece of evidence for the shift in thinking is a 1987 statement by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which had been critical of the supply-side claims and had always assumed in its revenue projections that taxpayers did not respond at all to changes in tax rates. |

| | The Effects of Economic Conditions And Access to Reproductive Health Services On State Abortion Rates and Birthrates |
| | Economic models are particularly useful for sorting out the determinants of reproductive behavior in the United States because of the substantial heterogeneity that characterizes not only the population's values and preferences, but also its economic resources and access to different types of health care. | | | We also assume that women's preferences are constrained by their available time and economic resources, the availability and costs of alternative reproductive health services, and the time and financial requirements of raising children and producing household commodities. | | | The analysis is based on an economic model in which the behavior leading to pregnancy and to pregnant women's decisions on whether to carry the pregnancy to term depends on the women's resources, direct costs, opportunity costs, attitudes and preferences for children. |

| | One difference that has emerged recently is that while Canada is still hewing closely to the balanced budgets policies of the 1990s the United States has moved into a heavy deficit, a policy both countries followed in the 1970s and 1980s. | | | Another advantage is that the Canadian health care system is also very attractive to employers, as in Canada health care is mostly paid through income taxes, while in the United States most companies have to extend health benefits to full-time employees, something they do not have to do in Canada. | | | Canadian GDP per capita is lower than that in the United States, but median income is very similar in the two countries. |
