摘要:
ABSTRACTThe starting–point for this examination of the Australian wage–fixing system during the Great Depression is the recent conclusion by Gregory, Ho, and McDermott that the Commonwealth Court was ineffective in its attempt to impose a 10 per cent reduction in real wages. They argue that labour markets, centralized and decentralized, resisted the 10 per cent cut, so that wage policy played no part in the recovery from the Depression. By surveying the decisions and influence of the Commonwealth Court, and the wage–fixing institutions and wage outcomes in Victoria and New South Wales, this article concludes that the hypothesis of Gregoryet al. cannot be supported. Contemporary views were closer to the mark.

摘要:
ABSTRACTThis paper shows the New South Wales Corps as a changing entity with a considerable impact on the New South Wales economy until 1810. Findings include the large number of men (1,645) who served in New South Wales, while the total population was less than 5,000, and the importance of the Corps as a source of free settlers in the period before free immigration. Convicts were recruited locally and as a group outweighed arrivals from the Savoy Military Prison, cited in the past as the bad element in the Corps. The Corps contained a reasonably high proportion of skilled men who contributed formally and informally to the colony’s productivity both before and after discharge. The study shows that the officer group was relatively stable before 1800 but that turnover was fairly high thereafter. Finally it is shown that the influence of the New South Wales Corps did not cease with its recall, for well over half the regiment remained in the colony, some seventy–one as settlers and 356 as troops under Macquarie’s command — including a special Veteran Corps.

摘要:
ABSTRACTPolicy–makers initially followed early Canterbury School prescriptions that favouredimmediatebudget balance and the rapid deflation of internal prices and wages. The 1932 Economic Committee formed a consensus favouring a policy package which had originally been formulated by Copland and Belshaw, and which included,inter alia, thegradualachievement of budget balance and the adjustment of external prices through exchange rate devaluation. A conservative Treasury line propounded by Park and Murphy emphasized sole reliance on deflationary measures but fell out of favour after 1933. Fisher’s long–run perspective did not appeal to policy–makers concerned with an immediate economic crisis.
