Blind Spots: The Effects Of Information And Stakes On Fairness Bias And Dispersion, James Konow
Blind Spots: The Effects Of Information And Stakes On Fairness Bias And Dispersion, James Konow
Economics Faculty Works
Mounting empirical research provides evidence of fairness bias and its economic and social effects, where fairness bias refers here to a deviation of claims from unbiased justice due to a personal stake. A far less appreciated issue is dispersion of fairness views and claims, which is also important for its effects on disagreements, empirical analysis, and philosophical theories. This study undertakes a systematic analysis of the effects on fairness bias and dispersion of two variables: stakes and information. Most philosophical and social science analyses related to justice and bias associate heightened bias with increased information and, conversely, impartiality with the …
Deriving The Gls Transformation Parameter In Elementary Panel Data Models, Philip N. Jefferson
Deriving The Gls Transformation Parameter In Elementary Panel Data Models, Philip N. Jefferson
Economics Faculty Works
The Generalized Least Squares (GLS) transformation that eliminates serial correlation in the error terms is central to a complete understanding of the relationship between the pooled OLS, random effects, and fixed effects estimators. A significant hurdle to attainment of that understanding is the calculation of the parameter that delivers the desired transformation. This paper derives this critical parameter in the benchmark case typically used to introduce these estimators using nothing more than elementary statistics (mean, variance, and covariance) and the quadratic formula.

Economic Systems Of Foraging, Agricultural, And Industrial Societies, Frederic L. Pryor
Economic Systems Of Foraging, Agricultural, And Industrial Societies, Frederic L. Pryor
Economics Faculty Works
Drawing upon the disciplines of economics, anthropology, and history, and employing a new and unified analytic approach, Frederic L. Pryor reformulates in this book the entire field of comparative economic systems. He examines large samples of foraging (hunting, gathering, and fishing), agricultural, and industrial economies to explore four key questions: What are the distinct economic systems found in each group? Why do certain societies or nations have one economic system rather than another? What impact do economic systems have on the performance of the economy? How do these economic systems develop and change? The results provide a context that allows …
