Foreign trade in the kaleckian perspective plan

In Kalecki's outline for a perspective plan a distinction is drawn between demand-determined and supply-constrained industries. Foreign trade operates on a ‘vent-for-surplus’ principle whereby supply industries are run at full capacity and excess supplies (demands) are exported (imported). This policy is assessed using a simple two-sector model and is given only qualified support. Modifications to his plan procedure are accordingly suggested.

Dual ‘prices’ in plan and market

(JEL classification: 020) The solution to the dual programming problem is traditionally conceived as a vector of unit values for the constraints of the primal problem, which in much economic-theoretic exposition employs dollar-denominated output (revenue; gross output) as the maximand, and in some applied literature, contribution to profit. This interpretation of the dual is unreasonable and we argue that the dual values either are the unit Premiums over market prices, for those inputs whose acquisition costs are deducted from selling price (and only for those units which are incremental to the amounts represented by the current constraints) or, for ‘common’ or ‘overhead’ capacity constraints whose costs are not deducted to calculate the maximand, the potential profit contribution per unit activity/per unit time. The latter application requires estimation of facility life and consumption rates in the first place, which is abjured in the standard microeconomic cost model. The paper reviews other uses of duality, including that of the planned/semiplanned economy and the evolution of Kantorovich's treatment.     

Illinois plan for technology transferat Illinois State University

Illinois has enacted legislation with a directive to enhance the economic development of companies in the state by encouraging new-product development. The policies and strategies used at Illinois State University to carry out an increased participation in technology transfer leading to enhanced industry/university interaction are presented. Identifiable factors leading to local project success have been the university's ability to develop inter-departmental research groups, provide the proper motivation to the group members, and set up a structure for commercialization of the new products developed by these groups.
