Capture And Ideology In American Farm Policy, Peter Navarro
Capture And Ideology In American Farm Policy, Peter Navarro
PETER NAVARRO
This paper applies a synthesis of the private interest "capture" and public interest ideological models of public policy to explain the formulation of agricultural incomes policies as embodied in the Agricultural and Food Act of 1981. An econometric analysis of the Senate voting pattern indicates that both narrow private interest motives and broad, altruistic ideological motives help to explain farm policy; the latter variable appears to show more explanatory power.

A Multi-Disciplinary Interpretation Of Migration: Amenity Capitalization In Both Labor And Land Markets, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton, Thomas A. Knapp
A Multi-Disciplinary Interpretation Of Migration: Amenity Capitalization In Both Labor And Land Markets, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton, Thomas A. Knapp
Robert L Sexton
Various disciplines have produced models to explain and predict migration. A model is presented providing a taxonomy through which interdisciplinary insights can be synthesized. The imperfect information view emphasizes the role of wage differentials as representing arbitragible real utility differences. The perfect information approach holds that wage and rent differentials are compensating differentials, eliminating real utility variation over space. Moreover, markets compress diverse aspects of spatial variation in welfare, otherwise difficult to quantify, into compensating wage and rent differentials. Rents tend to capitalize the variation in a host of amenities, thereby substantially reducing the need for a potential migrant to …

The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye
The Impact Of Nontraditional Training On The Occupational Attainment Of Women, Michael Seeborg, Irmtraud Streker-Seeborg, Abera Zegeye
Michael Seeborg
In this paper we examine the effect of nontraditional training on the occupational attainment of economically disadvantaged women. Using a logit model of occupational attainment, we found that women who received nontraditional training under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) were much less likely than their male counterparts to be employed in male-dominated occupations, and also received somewhat lower hourly wages. These results suggest that nontraditional training alone may not be an effective way of reducing the occupational segregation of low-income women.
Property Rights And Taxation In The Australian Minerals Sector, Ted C. Bergstrom
Property Rights And Taxation In The Australian Minerals Sector, Ted C. Bergstrom
Ted C Bergstrom
Mineral deposits in Australia are generally owned by states. Exploration licenses and mining leases are granted to private firms. They are not sold to the highest bidder but are awarded according to a system of "work program bidding". Such bids entail a promise to undertake a certain amount of exploration expenditure within a specified time interval. Typically a firm that finds a commercially viable mineral deposit is given preference in obtaining a lease to exploit this deposit, but the lease is subject to the conditio that the firm spend at least some specified minimum on developing the lease within a …
