Users And Uses Of Full Text Databases, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

The increasing variety in full text databases and wider availability means a variety of users and uses. Recent research has suggested that full texts are being used for many different reasons, including: document location, fact retrieval, paragraph retrieval,browsing, and document delivery. The studies reported in this paper show that search strategies may need to differ for different uses or for different types of full text. The reported studies focus on full texts of non-technical magazine articles.

Nonparametric Tests Of Maximizing Behavior Subject To Nonlinear Sets, Rosa L. Matzkin

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper extends the axiomatic theory of revealed preference to choices that are generated by the maximization of a strictly concave and strictly monotone function subject to nonlinear constraint sets. I characterize finite sets of observations on choice behavior that are consistent with the maximization of a strictly concave and strictly monotone objective function. Both nonconvex and convex choice sets are considered. The analysis applies, for example, to consumers who face either regressive or progressive taxes and to households that produce commodities according to either a convex or a concave production function. For choice sets that possess convex and monotone …

The Interaction Of Implicit And Explicit Contracts In Repeated Agenc, David G. Pearce, Ennio Stacchetti

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Traditional agency theory assumes that the principal has no more information about the agent’s actions than the enforcement authorities have. This is unrealistic in many settings, and in repeated models, additional information possessed by the principal changes the nature of the problem. Such information can be used in implicit, self-enforcing contracts between principal and agent, that supplement the usual explicit contracts. This paper studies the way in which the two kinds of contracts are combined in constrained efficient equilibria of the agency supergame. The agent’s compensation is comprised of both guaranteed payments and voluntary bonuses from the principal. We give …

Reflections On Econometric Methodology, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

General issues about the methodology of empirical econometric research are discussed. It is argued that the most successful paradigms for applied work are the ones that have a capacity to survive and to evolve into more useful forms as these are needed. Paradigms that embrace progressive modeling principles, such as those espoused by David Hendry, seem most amenable to this criterion. It is also argued that econometric theory has a large role to play in helping us to understand the strengths and the weaknesses of a methodology and to codify what its prescriptions entail. The time series methodology of David …

Health And Social Service Needs In A Northeastern Metropolitan Area: Ethnic Group Differences, Paul D. Cleary, Harold W. Demone Jr.

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Data from a representative sample of Boston area residents were analyzed to examine differences among ethnic populations in perceived needs and use of services for eight problem areas. The areas studied were: employment problems; financial problems; problems of the aged living alone; alcohol problems; personal; family or marital problems; child behavior or education problems; the need for homemaker services; and the need for a home nurse. The results indicate substantial differences between perceived needs and reported use of services, and both those factors varied by ethnic identification.
