The Haitian Informal Sector In Miami, Alex Stepick

Alex Stepick

The nature of immigration policy toward Haitians in southern Florida is largely responsible for the nature of their participation in the labor market. As individuals with an ambiguous status in the United States they are forced to work for low wages on the fringes of the formal sector of the economy or in Miami's growing informal sector. Most notably an example of generative economic activity is the growth of Little Haiti in Miami and the support it provides its residents.

Inventory Accounting And Profit Evaluation, Riccardo Fiorito

riccardo fiorito

In an inventory model with exogenous sales, FIFO and LIFO criteria are formalized and compared with national account estimates for intermediate and finished good products. The model is simulated using manufacturing input and output prices for Italy (1970-88). LIFO and NIPA estimates of inventory are usually close and also imply reliable measures of output levels and changes which can be shown by solving the quantity model. Conversely, FIFO exhibits larger profits and leads in real terms to unsatisfactory estimates of output changes.

The Role Of Federal Taxation In The Supply Of Municipal Bonds: Evidence From Municipal Governments, Gilbert E. Metcalf

Gilbert E. Metcalf

This paper considers ways in which federal tax policy affects municipal asset and debt holdings. The tax treatment of municipal bonds and income creates an arbitrage opportunity for communities to issue tax-exempt debt and invest in financial assets. The author presents evidence that suggests the rules in effect prior to 1986 to prevent this activity were not effective. He then develops and estimates a model of municipal bond supply. The author finds a semielasticity of 1.23 of long-term debt with respect to the spread between the after-tax rate of return and the municipal borrowing rate.

Naked Exclusion, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer, John Wiley

Eric Bennett Rasmusen

Ordinarily, a monopoly cannot increase its profits by asking customers to sign agreements not to deal with potential competitors. If, however, there are 100 customers and the minimum efficient scale requires serving 15, the monopoly need only lock up 86 customers to forestall entry. If each customer believes that the others will sign, each also believes that no rival seller will enter. Hence, an individual customer loses nothing by signing the exclusionary agreement and will indeed sign. Thus, naked exclusion can be profitable.

Trends In Industrial Development, John Mullin

John R. Mullin

Zenia Kotval and John Mullin review the key issues involving local land use decisions and industrial development in Massachusetts. They point out that the cumulative impact of town after town discouraging industrial development has resulted in creating a state where land use is a limiting factor for industrial development and growth. Concurring with recent thinking on economic development, the authors take a strong stance that our future economic well being must be based on a mixed economy where industry and manufacturing are a key player.

Summer Reading For Hearty Souls, Steven Alan Samson

Steven Alan Samson

Each of these books stands as a reproach to our secularized educational system which fails to challenge either our minds or our hearts. Our growing ignorance of history and literature is severing the cultural lifeline of our civilization and orphaning our young people. As Zacharias (A Shattered Visage), Kuehnelt-Leddihn (Leftism Revisited), and Nickel (Mathematics: Is God Silent?) have shown, it is necessary to strip away the pretensions of our flight from God and begin a major facelift.

Clues To Paleoindian Survival: Underwater Caches My Have Supplied Meat In Winter, Kimberly J. Sawtelle

Kimberly J. Sawtelle

Dr. Daniel C. Fisher of University of Michigan's Museum of Paleontology and Department of Geological Sciences has found intriguing new information at the Heisler and other sites concerning Paleoindian food-caching behavior. New lines of evidence suggest Paleoindian peoples stored meat from proboscideans by anchoring under water in ponds.

La Investigación Urbana En América Latina. Una Aproximación, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Con este trabajo pretendemos realizar un primer acercamiento a la investigación urbana en América Latina, desde una perspectiva global y vista, por encima de los países, como unidad. Un trabajo necesario que desgraciadamente no cuenta con antecedentes: ni parcial ni globalmente, se han desarrollado balances de la investigación urbana en América Latina. Sin duda es un gran vacío, no sólo por su alcance, sino también por las implicaciones y requerimientos en la búsqueda de nuevas interpretaciones.

El Regreso A La Ciudad Construida, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

“The Return to the Built City”. This paper examines some hypotheses related to the transformation process that urban transportation in Quito is undergoing with the introduction of the trolleybus. The paper emphasizes an urban integrated perspective rather than a sectored one to provide a clearer perception of the process of transformation of the key channels which sustain the quality of urban communication. The paper comprises three parts: the first part defines the current context in which urban transport transformations develop; the second part examines the link between transportation and the new trends in urbanism; and the third and final part …

Health Locus Of Control And Depression In End-Stage Renal Disease, Alan Christensen, Charles Turner, Timothy Smith

Alan J. Christensen

Research on the association between health locus of control and depression in chronic illness has produced contradictory findings, perhaps because of a failure to consider contextual variables. In this study of 96 hemodialysis patients, the belief that one's health is controllable was associated with less depression among Ss who had not previously experienced a failed renal transplant. This belief was associated with greater depression for Ss who had returned to dialysis following an unsuccessful transplant. This interactive effect occurred among severely ill Ss, but health locus of control was unrelated to depression among Ss with less severe disease. This pattern …
