The Second Annual Conference on the Management of the Pakistan Economy opened with the Rector of the Lahore School of Economics, Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry, recalling that the first conference last year had seen a good gathering of policy makers led by the Governor of the State Bank Dr. Ishrat Hussain, the private sector comprising bankers and industrialists, and academia. The dialogue generated on public policy had been both intense and diverse, ranging across macro, sectoral and institutional issues, especially edifying for the student body of the School. Dr. Shahid Amjad discussed how this experience warranted the institutionalisation of an annual conference, hence this second conference. The tradition had also been set for the Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan to deliver the inaugural address at the conference.

E-commerce offers an enormous range of solutions to payment and settlements problems. However it also poses a myriad of regulatory issues. Understanding the technical, taxation and institutional issues posed by e-commerce that impact the ability to provide such services aids in comprehending the vast integrity and security issues surrounding this innovation. In this chapter the effect of this technological innovation is examined in the light of theories of regulation that postulate a struggle process between attempts to control innovation and further innovation and regulation. To understand how regulation of e-commerce may be counterproductive, a case study of the evolution of regulation of derivatives is used to test a hypothesis concerning social and avoidance costs. A comparative case study of regulation of e-commerce is then examined to suggest a policy approach of a private sector solution within a public policy matrix similar to private deposit insurance.

<p><em>The state has provided a lot of welfare to the citizens of rural communities, who make up the largest part of this nation. Socio-economic welfare as a public interest has been pursued by the state with its authority, including in the form of a policy to establish Village Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa). The issuance of Law Number 6 of 2014, PP Number 43 of 2014 and the Village Regulation of PDTT Number 4 of 2015 relating to the interests of the village community, became a strong foundation for the establishment of BUM Desa. In Karawang Regency, this was followed up with the issuance of Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 and Perbup Number 35 of 2020. One of the problems when public policy was implemented started from the substance of policies that were bad policy, unclear, not operational/incomplete, ambiguous, and contradictory.</em><em> </em><em>The research uses normative juridical methods and literature review. The results of the study indicate that the issue of welfare of rural communities is embodied in various state/government regulations. There is a relationship between the local government as an operational policy maker and the policy environment as well as a hierarchical relationship with policy makers regarding BUM Desa at the national level. There are several policy substances that are considered bad policies, because they are unclear, not operational/incomplete, ambiguous and contradictory. This will have implications for the ineffective implementation of BUM Desa policies by implementers at the lowest level of government.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em> : evaluation, public policy, village-owned enterprises</em></p>

ABSTRACTScience is believed to be an important part of public policy decision making because of its inherent characteristics of measurability, rigor, objectivity, replication, and peer review. The purpose of this research was to explore the linkage of science to public policy decision making. The research explores what state and local public officials know about science and how much they actually use science in their decision making. Interview results with public officials in the State of Idaho demonstrate that policy makers ultimately see science as only one element in the mix. Findings suggest that equal attention and debate should be given to how science interacts with all of the other factors that affect the public policy making process.

The Way

In very rich rentier-states, such as Kuwait, citizens have a smaller immediate stake in the success of the nonoil economy than do citizens in nonrentier economies. This is because the nonoil sector does not pay much in the way of taxes, nor does it employ many citizens. For the most part, citizens work for the state or state-owned enterprises, and their paychecks are ultimately funded by oil revenues. Foreigners dominate private-sector employment. Kuwait's parliament—by far the strongest in the Gulf—reflects the interests of citizen employees of the state and is widely seen as an obstacle to private-sector growth. In the United Arab Emirates, by contrast, citizens have little political voice. Public policy instead reflects the interests of capitalists (especially ruling families) in the development of a diversified economy.

Determinants Of Transfer

This research aims to analyze and empirically prove the effects of firm size, profitability, and leverage on transfer pricing aggressiveness moderated by corporate governance. It used a sample consisting of 73 multinational firms listed in both www.idx.co.id and www.bursamalaysia.com from 2018 to 2019. The data were analyzed using  multiple linier regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) to analyze and empirically prove the effects of firm size, profitability, and leverage on transfer pricing aggressiveness moderated by corporate governance. The results showed that leverage positively affected transfer pricing aggressiveness, whereas firm size and profitability did not. Corporate governance evidently weakened the effect of leverage on transfer pricing aggressiveness. This research contributes to increasing the state revenue through the taxation sector by exposing the determinants of transfer pricing aggressiveness that harm the state, and to assist public policy makers, especially those who are in charge of the policies related to transactions with special relationship.

Price Advertising

An issue currently generating considerable debate is the increasing use of the comparative price format in advertising. In this paper, reviews of comparative price advertising literature and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines are integrated to discuss whether comparative price advertisements are informative or deceptive. Recent court cases relevant to comparative price advertising are also discussed. The central focus of the paper is to articulate the state of knowledge regarding comparative price advertising and to assess its potential for being informative or deceptive using an examination of relevant literature and public policy. Recommendations regarding comparative price advertising for public policy makers, managers, and researchers are developed.

The uniqueness of Taiwan's industrialization is that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had been the major contributors to exports. What has been responsible for the success of the SMEs? How far and in what ways did the state contribute to their success: can it be attributed to the government's industrial policy? The statist account of Taiwan's development, a dominant approach to explain its economic growth, is weak in answering these questions. This article argues that the existence of a unique industrial structure was key in the explanation of Taiwan's SME-led exports. The industrial structure was basically a consequence of the state's political strategies that determined its public policy towards the private sector. It argues that the market rather than industrial policy was the explanation of the industrial success of SMEs; the economic bureaucracy was a world of politics rather than a range of monolithic institutions; and strongman tactics rather than institutions were the source of state steering capacity and were responsible for the success of industrial policy. It concludes that Taiwan's development was a “politically inspired industrial success” rather than a state-led development.

AbstractWith the rise of the new managerialism in the 1980s, public policy makers have increased their use of management consulting knowledge in reforming their bureaucracies. To describe this situation, some have coined the term « consultocracy,» assuming that the emergence of managerialism created a growing demand for business management expertise in government circles that has allowed consultants to penetrate the state and become powerful actors in the process of administrative reform. This article asks how it has been possible for consultants to become (or not) influential players in the process of bureaucratic reform. The analysis shows that because of historical and institutional reasons, Britain has been more likely than France to give rise to a «consultocracy.»
