Teaching Hausman And Willig Using Mathematica, Matt Bogard
Library Presentations, Lectures, Research Guides
Analyzing consumer welfare from observable data, or empirical demand functions has been a very controversial issue in economics. One metric often used is deadweight loss from a tax or price increase. A classic debate in economic history regarding the appropriate methodology for measuring deadweight loss involves two papers published in the American Economic Review by Jerry Hausman and Robert Willig. In ‘Consumer’s Surplus Without Apology’ Willig contends that the error in approximating deadweight loss using the observable Marshallian demand curve is small for small price changes and an acceptable practice. Hausman argues in ‘Exact Consumer’s Surplus and Deadweight Loss’ that …

Institutional-Anomie, Political Corruption, And Homicide Rates, Jerry K. Daday, Lisa M. Broidy, Dale Willits
Institutional-Anomie, Political Corruption, And Homicide Rates, Jerry K. Daday, Lisa M. Broidy, Dale Willits
Sociology Faculty Presentations
Messner and Rosenfeld’s institutional-anomie theory (IAT) has advanced our understanding of cross-national variation in homicide rates. Empirical tests of IAT have primarily examined how non-economic institutions alleviate or mitigate the mal-effects of economic inequality and economic deprivation. As economic institutions gain strength and dominance, non-economic institutions tend to weaken and are forced to accommodate the market. This creates an elevated state of institutional anomie that is conducive to higher violent crime rates. Most cross-national quantitative tests of IAT have examined the comparative strength of economic and social support institutions (especially social welfare) and find support for the theory. However, prior …

The Teacher Work Sample: An Authentic Assessment, Lisa D. Murley, S. Kay Gandy
Engaging the Spirit Presentations 2007: Tools for Student Success
How can universities effectively use data to answer questions about student performance? Western Kentucky University is one of eleven teacher preparation institutions in ten states that participated in the federally funded Renaissance Partnership Project, which implements the Teacher Work Sample (TWS) as an assessment tool focused on improving the quality of their graduates. Across all disciplines, education students construct a unit of study that includes contextual information, pre-assessment rationale for the unit, assessment data,analysis and reflection. The College of Education uses the TWS to evaluate the proficiency of the teacher candidates' abilities to develop learning outcomes, analyze assessment results and …
