Justice vis à vis welfare: how Austrian welfare economics should fit in the Austro-libertarian framework Econ. Polit. (IF 1.143) Pub Date : 2023-05-02 Igor Wysocki
The present work calls for a modification of Austrian welfare economics so that it should be given a distinct role within the Austro-libertarian paradigm. To this end, we clearly distinguish between justice and welfare. We proceed by trying to stick to the spirit of Austro-libertarianism as firmly as possible. In particular, we operate within the universe of voluntary (viz. rights-respecting) exchanges

Ethnic diversity, concentration of political power and the curse of natural resources Econ. Polit. (IF 1.143) Pub Date : 2022-12-19 Waqar Wadho, Sadia Hussain
The empirical evidence suggests that resource rich countries tend to have poor economic performance and higher rent seeking. In this paper, we develop a general equilibrium model explaining why natural resources turn out to be a curse in an economy divided into two classes: elite and workers. Our model explains the resource curse in a setup in which governing elite expropriate rents from natural resources
