Review Of The Reserves And Operable Capability Markets: New England's Experience In The First Four Months, Peter Cramton
Review Of The Reserves And Operable Capability Markets: New England's Experience In The First Four Months, Peter Cramton
Peter Cramton
I review the performance of the operating reserves and the operable capability markets in New England. The review covers the first four months of operation from May 1 to August 31, 1999. The review is based on my knowledge of the market rules and their implementation by the ISO, and the market data during this period, including bidding, operating, and settlement information. In the review, I (1) identify the potential market flaws with these markets, (2) look at the performance of the markets to see if the potential problems have materialized, (3) evaluate the ISO's short-term remedies for these market …
Impacts Of Strike Replacement Banks In Canada, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Impacts Of Strike Replacement Banks In Canada, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
In the labor relations area no issue generates as much controversy and division between labor and management as does the legislative ban on replacement workers. In the United States, the issue of a ban on permanent replacement workers has come before Congress four times since 1988, although the only action taken has been an executive order in 1995, banning the government from doing business with firms that use permanent replacements (Cramton and Tracy 1998). In Canada, where labor matters are under provincial jurisdiction, legislative bans on permanent replacement workers exist in most jurisdictions (except New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince …
The Effect Of Collective Bargaining Legislation On Strikes And Wages, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
The Effect Of Collective Bargaining Legislation On Strikes And Wages, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
Using Canadian data on large, private-sector contract negotiations from January 1967 to March 1993, we find that wages and strikes are substantially influenced by labor policy. The data indicate that conciliation policies have largely been ineffective in reducing strike costs. In contrast, contract reopener provisions appear to make both unions and firms better off by reducing negotiation costs without systematically affecting wage settlements. Legislation banning the use of replacement workers appears to lead to higher strike costs both by increasing the frequency and duration of strikes.

The Role Of The Iso In U.S. Electricity Markets: A Review Of Restructuring In California And Pjm, Peter Cramton, Lisa Cameron
The Role Of The Iso In U.S. Electricity Markets: A Review Of Restructuring In California And Pjm, Peter Cramton, Lisa Cameron
Peter Cramton
Several regions of the U.S. have sought to restructure the electric power industry by separating the potentially competitive generation sector from the natural monopoly functions of electricity transmission and distribution. Under this restructuring scheme, a central authority, which we will refer to as the independent system operator (ISO), is given control over both the transmission system and the spot market for electricity. The ISO's role in managing the spot market is relatively uncontroversial. This is because the spot market takes place in real time and requires continuous physical adjustments to electricity supply and demand subject to complex constraints, such as …

Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Desert revegetation is possible but not easy. Careful attention to plant production (root:shoot), site prep, planting, irrigation and aftercare can lead to good survival even under extreme desert conditions. Cost per survivor is a critical consideration.
Soil Pitting For Revegetation, David A. Bainbridge
Soil Pitting For Revegetation, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Soil pitting provides many benefits in ecological restoration of degraded lands. The pits capture rainwater, trap seeds and soil symbionts and protect seedlings from windblast.

A First Approach To Measure Service Quality In Greek Fitness Centers, Yanni D. Afthinos
Yanni D Afthinos
The aim of this paper is to examine the contextual stability of a service quality instrument in an international setting . This study is the first step of a bigger research project that will attempt first to conceptualize and measure service quality in Greek fitness centers, and second to test its relationship with customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions.
The Direct And Indirect Influences Of Human Values On Product Ownership., Michael W. Allen, Sik Hung Ng
The Direct And Indirect Influences Of Human Values On Product Ownership., Michael W. Allen, Sik Hung Ng
Michael Allen
The present study proposes a conceptual model of how consumers' choice of products may be influenced by the human values that they endorse. The model suggests that values can influence product choice directly or indirectly depending on the meaning of the product and the kind of judgement used to evaluate that meaning. Speci®cally, values would have a direct influence on product choice when consumers attend to a product's symbolic meaning and make an aective judgement, and have an indirect influence (via tangible attribute importance) when consumers attend to a product's utilitarian meaning and make a piecemeal judgement. To test the …

The Distributional Effects Of Carbon Regulation, Peter Cramton, Suzi Kerr
The Distributional Effects Of Carbon Regulation, Peter Cramton, Suzi Kerr
Peter Cramton
We examine the distributional effects of carbon regulation. An auction of carbon permits is the best way to achieve carbon caps set by international negotiation to limit global climate change. An auction is preferred to grandfathering (giving polluters permits in proportion to past pollution), because it allows reduced tax distortions, provides more flexibility in distribution of costs, provides greater incentives for innovation, and reduces the need for politically contentious arguments over the allocation of rents.
Journalism/ Mass Communication Program World Wide Web Sites: Content, Functionality And Promotional Value, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Journalism/ Mass Communication Program World Wide Web Sites: Content, Functionality And Promotional Value, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Douglas J. Swanson, Ed.D APR
Despite the popularity of promotionally-oriented Web sites within journalism/ mass communication programs in higher education, there has been little examination of sites and their contents. Almost no research has focused on visual, informational, and operational enhancements, or how Web sites of different higher education programs in the discipline differ from each other. This research addresses some of the unanswered questions about how journalism/ mass communication Web sites use enhancements to communicate with online users.
