On The Season, Marty Mcdonald

Honors Theses

In a recent report to a subcommittee of the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare of the United States Senate, Father John A. Wagner made an apt comparison of Texas migrant workers and "tumble weeds that roll helter-skelter,... in search of that constantly eluding hope that they will have a chance to make enough to keep their families alive." Much of the migrant farm labor in the United States make their winter quarters in sunny Florida. By May they are moving out to follow crops and get "on the season." They travel to South Carolina, and on up to New …

Regularity In The Distribution Of Participation In Group Discussions, Joseph B. Kadane, Gordon H. Lewis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Reports have been published indicating striking regularities in the distribution of participation in group discussions, regularities potentially important in the understanding of small group processes. Several attempts to explain the form of the regularity contain implications for many sociological analyses. These attempts to explain the regularity are found to be inadequate; at the same time, the regularity is found to be somewhat doubtful.

Stochastic Theories Of Participation, Joseph B. Kadane, Gordon H. Lewis, John G. Ramage

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A recent mathematical model by Horvath which predicts the process of participation in group discussions is compared to several alternative models. The models can be applied to data for which the basic unit is the act and to data for which the basic unit is a continuous sequence of acts. In both cases, when statistical tests of significance are employed, most of the more restrictive models are rejected.

The Distribution, When The Residuals Are Small, Of Statistics Testing Overidentifying Restrictions, Joseph B. Kadane

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In the estimation of simultaneous equation econometric models, overidentifying restrictions improve estimates of the remaining parameters. Natural test statistics for the hypothesis that an equation is overidentified have been developed by Anderson and Rubin and by Basmann. If the residuals are jointly normal, serially uncorrelated, and small, both the above overidentification test statistics have the Snedecor F distribution asymptotically as the variance of the residuals get small. This gives analytic confirmation of Monte Carlo results of Basmann. The results given apply to linear models in which predetermined variables can be exogenous or lagged endogenous.

Assessing Achievement On A First-Grade Economics Course Of Study, A. Guy Larkins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Problem

Despite the surge of interest in economic education in the elementary school in the last two decades, there have been very few attempts to assess the ability of young children to learn economic concepts. In the primary grades, this problem is compounded by the difficulty of measuring knowledge in six and seven year old children.

Objectives

The primary objective of this dissertation was to determine whether first-grade children can learn the basic concepts in Our Working World: Families at Work. Since instruments suitable for assessing achievement on Families at Work were not available when this study was initiated, …

The Feasibility Of Pulp And Paper Production In Utah, Thomas Meyer

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The objectives of this study are:

l. To determine the adequacy of markets for paper products.

2. To identify and quantify the costs of the factors affecting pulp and paper production.

The available information indicates that adequate markets exist for paper produced in Utah.

Chemicals, water, labor, and power are available at costs low enough not to prohibit pulp and paper production. An adequate, low priced supply of wood could be purchased from the United States Forest Service. Intermountain and national paper markets would enable a paper producer in Utah to take advantage of lower comparative transportation costs.

The Consumption And Use Of Dairy Products And Their Substitutes In Metropolitan Salt Lake City, Jerry Lee Calley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Consumption and use patterns for selected dairy products and their substitutes were described and related to certain socio-economic variables for consumers living in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The data for this thesis were gathered by means of a survey conducted from April 1967 through June 1967.

Salt Lake City households were large consumers of fluid milk, evaporated milk, butter, margarine, fruit juice and fruitade when compared to the western region and the nation.

By calculating the income elasticities for each of the four types of products, all were shown to be superior products with the exception of canned …
