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 …

An Analysis Of Cropping Intensities In The Paddy Sector Of Sri Lanka, Piyasiri Wickramasekara
An Analysis Of Cropping Intensities In The Paddy Sector Of Sri Lanka, Piyasiri Wickramasekara
PIYASIRI WICKRAMASEKARA
Achievement of self-sufficiency in rice has been the avowed objective of almost all planning exercises in Sri Lanka since independence. The strategy for increasing paddy production has emphasised expansion of cultivated area as well as promotion of land productivity. Expansion of cultivated area could be achieved by bringing new land under cultivation and increasing the intensity of cropping on already cultivated land. The importance of the latter method has been recognised since the fifties but the actual achievements have been rather marginal. The rising cost of land development in recent years has highlighted the importance of this option. The objective …
Bargaining With Incomplete Information: An Infinite-Horizon Model With Two-Sided Uncertainty, Peter Cramton
Bargaining With Incomplete Information: An Infinite-Horizon Model With Two-Sided Uncertainty, Peter Cramton
Peter Cramton
The resolution of any bargaining conflict depends crucially on the relative urgency of the agents to reach agreement and the information each agent has about the others’ preferences. This paper explores, within the context of an infinite-horizon bargaining model with two-sided uncertainty, how timing and information affect the rational behavior of agents when commitment is not possible. Since the bargainers are uncertain about whether trade is desirable, they must communicate some of their private information before an agreement can be reached. This need for learning, due to incomplete information about preferences, results in bargaining inefficiencies: trade often occurs after costly …

The Role Of Incubator Industries In The Local Economy: The Westfield, Massachusetts Experience, John Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong
The Role Of Incubator Industries In The Local Economy: The Westfield, Massachusetts Experience, John Mullin, Jeanne H. Armstrong
John R. Mullin
This study offers an analysis of the role of incubator industries in the local economy of Westfield, Massachusetts. It presents the results of a survey of 25 owners of small firms which have been in business for less than 10 years, have fewer than 20 employees, manufacture a product, and are registered as doing business in Westfield. The sample size represents approximately 90 percent of all firms in the City which fit the criteria noted above. It is recognized that the sample is quite small and that great care must be used in applying the recommendations to other communities. Yet, …

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 …
