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.

The Electric Utilities Rate Structure Determination, Walid M. Keilani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the determination of the rate structure of the electric utilities. It consists of three chapters.

The first chapter deals with the determination of the rate basis of electric utilities. The calculation of the rate base is explained, and also the problems of the price level changes.

The second chapter shows the calculation of the rate of return and the measures used for testing the fair rate of return.

The third chapter is an analysis showing the effect of the different cost and demand factors in determining the rate structure of electric utilities.

Louisville: Intergovernmental Reforms For Fiscal Progress, Roy W. Bahl

ECON Publications

Louisville finds it difficult to finance its public services because of severe state restrictions imposed on its revenue-raising power - and because its citizens rebel at having their taxes raised. This has adversely affected the city's school system (although reforms have recently been initiated). This study documents the difficulties in overcoming local government fragmentation and in planning for areawide public services. Normal difficulties in these fields are compounded in the Louisville metropolitan area because it straddles two states. But interstate cooperation - and the cooperation and consolidation of local governments - have speeded progress in planning and providing for areawide …

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, …

Diversity In Perception Of Alternatives As Related To Selected Aptitude And Background Factors, Jane Agaya Lott

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The relationship between breadth of perspective, defined as the range of alternative solutions that one is able to bring to mind when presented with a problem, and selected aptitude and background factors was studied. Scholastic aptitude was the chosen aptitude factor. The background factors chosen were: (1) size of home town; (2) number of towns lived in; (3) number of children in the family of origin; (4) the subject's perception of his travel experience; (5) number of books read during the past year; and (6) number of friends of other nationalities.

The sample consisted of 130 female students from five …
