The Wall and the Bridge
An informed argument for an economic policy based on
bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of
protection and exclusion \"When technological
change and globalization in recent decades brought frustration over
the resulting losses to jobs and communities, there were no
guardrails to get these workers back on track. As this compelling
book shows, our nation is going to need bridges to help people get
through the unavoidable transformations.\"-Edmund Phelps, 2006 Nobel
Laureate in Economics and author of Mass
Flourishing Free-market economists often have noted
that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist
world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life
consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been
ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the
issue by creating walls -of both the physical and economic
kinds-to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While
recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn
Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the
ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and
ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to
Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard
promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to
support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and
prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic
landscape.

The aid trap
Over the past twenty years more citizens in China and India have
raised themselves out of poverty than anywhere else at any time in
history. They accomplished this through the local business
sector-the leading source of prosperity for all rich countries. In
most of Africa and other poor regions the business sector is weak,
but foreign aid continues to fund government and NGOs. Switching
aid to the local business sector in order to cultivate a middle
class is the oldest, surest, and only way to eliminate poverty in
poor countries.
A bold fusion of ethics and smart business, The Aid
Trap shows how the same energy, goodwill, and money that we
devote to charity can help local business thrive. R. Glenn Hubbard
and William Duggan, two leading scholars in business and finance,
demonstrate that by diverting a major share of charitable aid into
the local business sector of poor countries, citizens can take the
lead in the growth of their own economies. Although the aid system
supports noble goals, a local well-digging company cannot compete
with a foreign charity that digs wells for free. By investing in
that local company a sustainable system of development can take
root.

The effects of taxation on multinational corporations
The tax rules of the United States and other countries have intended and unintended effects on the operations of multinational corporations, influencing everything from the formation and allocation of capital to competitive strategies. The growing importance of international business has led economists to reconsider whether current systems of taxing international income are viable in a world of significant capital market integration and global commercial competition. In an attempt to quantify the effect of tax policy on international investment choices, this volume presents in-depth analyses of the interaction of international tax rules and the investment decisions of multinational enterprises. Ten papers assess the role played by multinational firms and their investment in the U.S. economy and the design of international tax rules for multinational investment; analyze channels through which international tax rules affect the costs of international business activities; and examine ways in which international tax rules affect financing decisions of multinational firms. As a group, the papers demonstrate that international tax rules have significant effects on firms' investment and other financing decisions.

Healthy, wealthy, and wise: 5 steps to a better health care system
In this second edition of their 2005 work, the authors offer market-based alternatives to recent health care reforms that center on tax changes, insurance market changes, and the redesign of Medicare and Medicaid. They show that, by promoting cost- conscious behavior and competition in both private markets and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, we can slow the rate of growth of health care costs, expand access to high-quality health care, and slow down runaway spending.

Taxing multinational corporations
In the increasingly global business environment of the 1990s, policymakers and executives of multinational corporations must make informed decisions based on a sound knowledge of U.S. and foreign tax policy. Written for a nontechnical audience, Taxing Multinational Corporations summarizes the up-to-the-minute research on the structure and effects of tax policies collected in The Effects of Taxation on Multinational Corporations. The book covers such practical issues as the impact of tax law on U.S. competitiveness, the volume and location of research and development spending, the extent of foreign direct investment, and the financial practices of multinational companies. In ten succinct chapters, the book documents the channels through which tax policy in the United States and abroad affects plant and equipment investments, spending on research and development, the cost of debt and equity finance, and dividend repatriations by United States subsidiaries. It also discusses the impact of U.S. firms' outbound foreign investment on domestic and foreign economies. Especially useful to nonspecialists is an appendix that summarizes current United States rules for taxing international income.

Studies in international taxation
As a united global economy evolves, economists and policymakers are forced to consider whether the current system of taxing income is inconsistent with the trend toward liberalized world financial flows and increased international competition. To help assess existing tax policies and incentives, this volume presents new research on how taxes affect the investment and financing decisions of multinationals today. The contributors examine the effects of taxation on decisions about international financial management, business investment, and international income shifting. They consider the influence of tax rules on dividend policy decisions within multinationals; the extent to which tax incentives affect the level and location of research and development across countries; and the fact that foreign-controlled companies operating in the United States pay lower taxes than do domestically controlled companies. The contributors to this volume are Rosanne Altshuler, Alan J. Auerbach, Neil Bruce, Timothy Goodspeed, Roger H. Gordon, Harry Grubert, Bronwyn H. Hall, David Harris, Kevin Hassett, James R. Hines Jr., Roy D. Hogg, Joosung Jun, Jeffrey K. Mackie-Mason, Jack M. Mintz, Randall Morck, John Mutti, T. Scott Newlon, James M. Poterba, Joel Slemrod, Deborah Swenson, G. Peter Wilson, and Bernard Yeung.
