Abstract:
Abstract Using a general equilibrium model of a small developing economy, the authors demonstrate that the introduction of asymmetric adjustment costs makes the rate of urban employment respond to an exogenous shock in the aggregate capital endowment, raising the possibility of several counter‐intuitive immiserizing growth scenarios.Keywords:

ABSTRACT The concept of Istibdal endowment is a way to develop waqf property to be more productive and able to provide a better and stable financial investment. To implement istibdal waqf property, some conditions have been set to ensure the implementation of the concept is consistent and meets the conditions prescribed by the jurists. Therefore, the aspect emphasized in this study is the establishment of the four sects of priests towards the istibdal endowment. The main objective of this study is to present the cases of istibdal endowment and the effects of its implementation in the state. In general, this study is based on two main methodological literature review and field survey. For the literature review, it had been done by collecting data and information on istibdal endowment of basic resources and then the opinions had been explained. The field studies were carried out by collecting data and information on the implementation of istibdal endowment in Islamic Religious Council as well as surveys and interviews with the parties involved. This study was conducted to determine the implementation of istibdal endowment in the state of Kedah that had given a positive impact by analyzing a number of cases related to it. During the entire study, it was found that the implementation of istibdal endowment in Kedah has provided substantial benefits to the community.

Fiscal support from endowments is a longstanding tradition in many institutions of higher education. The first known endowment in an American academic library resulted from a bequest of £500 from Thomas Hollis to the Harvard College Library in 1774. The number of endowments grew steadily in the 1800s, and by the turn of the century there were significant endowments in many libraries, including Yale, Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, Brown, the University of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina. Some institutions came to be heavily dependent on trusts for library funding. Between 1928 and 1956, for example, endowment supplied the total budgetary allocation for acquisitions at the Dartmouth College Library. Similarly, as late as the early 1950s, all of the book funds for the Harvard College Library came from its endowment.

This paper searches for a general equilibrium model of optimal growth and endogenous fiscal policy with the aim of explaining the interaction between private agents and fiscal authorities in the U.S., West Germany, Japan and the U.K. over the period 1960-1996. Our search is conducted in the context of popular models with closed-form analytical solutions since this is necessary to formally test the models' theoretical restrictions. In West Germany and Japan there is evidence that the fiscal authorities act as optimizing Stackelberg leaders who are concerned about the current welfare of private agents. In contrast, the fiscal authorities in the U.S. and U.K. do not appear to act as optimizing agents; instead, they follow simple rule-of-thumb policy rules. In all countries, the tax smoothing model, according to which policymakers find it optimal not to react to the state of the economy, is rejected.

The article reveals the endowment funds’ formation issues of universities both in Russia and abroad, and compares their quantitative indicators. The review of publications by various scientists on the formation and use of endowment funds given in the article allows us to assess the importance of this type of endowment capital and to clarify their role in the universities’ activities. The article also pays attention to the sources of replenishment and spending directions of endowment funds of Russian universities in comparison with foreign universities. The paper presents a modern practices description of using endowment capital, the authors indicate the changes that have occurred in this way in the practice of Russian universities. As a problem, the authors of the article consider approaches to assessing the use effectiveness of endowment funds. In particular, the article calculates the endowment funds’ effectiveness of Russian universities using the Hansmann model. The result of the calculations showed the endowment funds’ effectiveness of the universities selected for the study, but, at the same time pointed out at difficulties in selecting the information necessary for calculations and serious differences in approaches to the endowment capital use of the universities themselves.

Endowment for a rainy day? An empirical analysis of endowment spending by operating public charities
Abstract There has been growing public attention to the accumulation and spending of endowments in recent years. Scholars have offered different theories on the objective of endowments that have different implications for endowment spending. Yet, there are limited empirical studies and they mostly focus on universities. Using the Form 990 data between 2009 and 2016, this study examines how endowments are actually spent for four types of operating charities, including museums, universities, hospitals, and K‐12 schools. The descriptive results show that there are considerable cross‐sectional differences in endowment characteristics across these types of organizations. The fixed effects analyses further demonstrate different types of organizations have different payout responses to changes in endowment returns, non‐endowment income, and contributions to endowment. However, the study does not find any empirical evidence that organizations use endowments as rainy day funds. This article extends the understanding on endowment spending behavior from universities to other types of operating charities that also hold endowments. The findings provide empirical evidence that may inform the existing debate on endowment spending and have practical implications for endowment management.

The paper disputes the negative conclusion of prof. Mandler on the thesis by Garegnani, Schefold, Parrinello that intertemporal general equilibrium theory too is undermined by reswitching and reverse capital deepening. The paper argues that Mandler’s conclusion rests upon highly criticisable assumptions that render the equations of intertemporal general equilibrium identical to those of general equilibria without capital goods. The Walrasian treatment of the capital endowment is criticized in Part I on the basis of its insufficient persistence, and of other ‘methodological’ criticisms that are systematically surveyed. In Part II it is shown through a numerical example that Mandler’s claim, that the assumption of a single consumer guarantees uniqueness of intertemporal equilibrium independently of reswitching or reverse capital deepening, rests on the absence of production of capital goods in the last period of the equilibrium; this assumption is thus revealed to be one of the tricks that prevents the existence of capital goods from changing the properties of the equilibrium relative to those of equilibria without capital
