First publication of economist James Tobin exceedingly influential Tobit model, ""a seminal contribution to the estimation and testing of multiple"". (Buiter, James Tobin - An appreciation of his contribution to economics, P. 18). The Tobit model is today a standard economic technique within econometrics. The Tobit model regression models with limited dependent variables statistical model to describe the relationship between a non-negative dependent variable.James Tobin (1918-2002) was a highly influential economist within Keynesian Economics in the 20th century. His academic work included pioneering contributions to the study of investment, fiscal and monetary policy and financial markets. He received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1981.Outside of academia, Tobin was widely known for his suggestion of a tax on foreign exchange transactions, now known as the ""Tobin tax"". This was designed to reduce speculation in the international currency markets, which he saw as dangerous and unproductive. He suggested that the proceeds of the tax could be used to fund projects for the benefit of Third World countries, or to support the United Nations.The issue contain the following papers of interest:1.

First edition of perhaps the most controversial and debated treatise on taxation in the 20th century: The Tobin-Tax, a tax on all spot conversions of one currency into another designed to reduce speculation in the international currency markets, which he saw as dangerous and unproductive.In August 2009 in a roundtable interview in Prospect magazine, Adair Turner supported the idea of new global taxes on financial transactions, warning that the ""swollen"" financial sector paying excessive salaries had grown too big for society. Lord Turner's suggestion that a ""Tobin tax"" - named after James Tobin - should be considered for financial transactions made headlines around the world.In 1981 was awarded to James Tobin ""for his analysis of financial markets and their relations to expenditure decisions, employment, production and prices"".In honor of Eliot Janeway's contributions as an economic historian, Princeton University endowed the Eliot Janeway lectures on historical economics. The present lecture was given in 1972 but was not published until 1974.

PROCES-VERBAL de ce qui s'est passé au Lit de Justice, tenu par le Roi à Paris, le samedi douze Novembre 1774.
A Paris, De l'Imprimerie Royale, 1774. 90 pp. 4to. Modern boards. Catalogue des Actes Royaux, vi, 38447. Rare and very important text ending the exile of the Parlements and signalling the start of what were to be unsurmountable problems for the Crown in the last decade upto the Revolution. Initiated by Turgot this 'Lit de Justice' became the origin of the troubles Louis XVI had to face. Through this 'Lit de Justice', the Parlements and Sovereign courts were re-established with all their original prerogatives. The edicts concerning this event cover the pages 39-90.The edicts were read to the assembled magistrates on Saterday 12 November, and in a short speech the king acquainted the high nobility of his intensions, explained his motives, and ended by saying that he would restrain his Parlements within their proper limits. The king also warned them: they had provoked the righteous anger of his predecessor (Louis XV and Maupeou had suppressed the parliaments in 1771), and if when returned they failed to respect the wishes of the Crown, they would be sent again into exile. The re-establishment was under several restrictions, but all these provisions proved to be illusory, because the Parlements would attempt to gain inch by inch the ground they had lost, and because no Ministry could be counted upon to remain firm for all time in face of opposition (see: D. Dakin, Turgot and the Ancien Regime, (London, 1939), pp. 136 ff.) - Margin of titlepage neatly repaired, some scribbling to title-page and browned.

Rare first edition of Turner's work on double-entry bookkeeping constituting one of the earliest work on bookkeeping printed in America (The earliest being from 1789)""It is singular that this little work should have been suffered to sink into oblivion. It contains much new and useful information"" it is written with clearness and precision, and better adapted to the purposs of instruction than any similar work which have appeared in the United States since 1800. The modern practice of double entry is clearly exemplified by Turner, and a very trifling revision would render [the present work] one of best elementary treatises on merchants accounts extant"" (Foster, The Origin and Progress of Book-keeping).
