Attempts to connect the diverse aspects of appropriate price policy in the following sequence: 1) the implementation issues and impact on the domestic marketing sector, 2) the nature of the world market price, 3) the disaggregated effects on producers and consumers, 4) the short-run macro effects on budgetary, fiscal, and monetary policy, 5) the impact of macro prices, especially the foreign exchange rate, 6) the spillover effects of price policy for one commodity market on other commodity and factors markets, on the agricultural sector as a whole, and on the entire economy, 7) the dynamic effects on employment, investment, and economic growth (Author).

Compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI is used to index Social Security payments and many other federal programs, as well as to adjust tax brackets. Today, the accuracy of the CPI is being hotly debated, particularly in light of the Boskin Commission report that concluded in December 1996 that the CPI overstates inflation by 1.1%. If accepted and applied in the formulation of economic policy, the report would have major implications for balancing the federal budget. It would have a direct impact on the lives of Americans who are beneficiaries of government programs as well as on everyone who pays taxes. In this book, Dean Baker introduces and explains the significance of the debate, presents the full text of the Boskin Commission report and finally discusses in a far-reaching and insightful analysis both the Commission's research methodology and its conclusions.

Winner, 2022 Leonard L. Berry Marketing Book Award, American Marketing Association How do leaders, managers, and proprietors go about the essential task of setting prices? What biases enter into this process, and why? How can a business debias its price setting to become more productive, strategic, and profitable? Combining perceptive insights from behavioral economics with leading-edge ideas on price management, this book offers a new approach to pricing. Gerald Smith demonstrates why understanding, reframing, and refining everyday pricing processes—a firm’s or manager’s pricing orientation—results in a better long-term pricing strategy. He explores how pricing actually happens in practice and shows how to identify and remove the psychological blinders that cause suboptimal decisions and policies. Smith details how to improve pricing orientation by combining the soft behavioral skills that intuitively shape and refine pricing practice with the hard analytic skills that guide and structure pricing strategy. The result is more rational and more profitable pricing—with respect to not only revenue and profitability but also employee productivity and customer satisfaction. Offering an accessible and actionable model, Getting Price Right is the first book to apply behavioral economics to managerial price setting. It is a must-read for corporate business leaders, thought leaders, and professionals interested in advances in pricing and for managers, entrepreneurs, proprietors, and small and midsize business owners whose everyday work involves pricing.

Energy taxes can produce substantial environmental and revenue benefits and are an important component of countries’ fiscal systems. Although the principle that these taxes should reflect global warming, air pollution, road congestion, and other adverse environmental impacts of energy use is well established, there has been little previous work providing guidance on how countries can put this principle into practice. This book develops a practical methodology, and associated tools, to show how the major environmental damages from energy can be quantified for different countries and used to design the efficient set of energy taxes.

This paper provides a comprehensive global, regional, and country-level update of: (i) efficient fossil fuel prices to reflect their full private and social costs; and (ii) subsidies implied by mispricing fuels. The methodology improves over previous IMF analyses through more sophisticated estimation of costs and impacts of reform. Globally, fossil fuel subsidies were $5.9 trillion in 2020 or about 6.8 percent of GDP, and are expected to rise to 7.4 percent of GDP in 2025. Just 8 percent of the 2020 subsidy reflects undercharging for supply costs (explicit subsidies) and 92 percent for undercharging for environmental costs and foregone consumption taxes (implicit subsidies). Efficient fuel pricing in 2025 would reduce global carbon dioxide emissions 36 percent below baseline levels, which is in line with keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees, while raising revenues worth 3.8 percent of global GDP and preventing 0.9 million local air pollution deaths. Accompanying spreadsheets provide detailed results for 191 countries.

Many economists believe that a major task of development policy is to get prices right. Policy prescriptions frequently emphasize the need for more appropriate pricing systems or a sensible pricing system. But how does one know when prices are right, appropriate, or sensible? What exactly are the policy instruments that policymakers can use to get prices right? This book explores these questions. To indicate how the principles of pricing might be applied to these various problems, the discussion is structured in the following sections. "Elements of a Price System, " explains the components of a price system and relates them to the logic of optimization in a choice problem. "Functions of Prices, " distinguishes the various functions performed by prices and illustrates some consequences of pricing policies. "Properties of Efficiency, " presents an ideal reference model of an efficient economy, so that actual cases of market failure can be compared with the optimal. It also examines how deviations from the ideal market arise and what remedial policies are possible to correct the distortions. "Public Pricing Policy, " outlines contending principles of ideal pricing and considers applications to a range of public services. "Prices, Markets, and Development, " acts as a summary and places the techniques of project appraisal in the wider context of price analysis and investment policy.
