Bank Structure And Mortgage Rates: Implications For Interstate Banking, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

Competition in financial markets has been the subject of many studies in the area of market structure and performance. This paper analyzes the differences in mortgage rates between unit banking and branch banking states to consider the likely outcome of interstate banking on competition. A model of interest rate determination is developed which suggests that, at least in the mortgage market, interstate banking will, ceteris paribus, decrease competition if it lowers the number of competing firms and increases deposit concentration levels. Support is provided for the argument that only those states under statewide branching laws may receive more competitive …

Bidding Game Valuations Of Congestion Costs In Winter Sports Areas, Philip B. Halverson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the last three decades, there has been a significant growth in the outdoor recreation industry. In 1969, there were 17.6 million visits to national parks, and by 1978, that number had increased to 283.1 million (Gregory, 1972; U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 1979). Similarly, visits to national forests grew from 5 million in 1925 to over 147 million in 1965 (Clawson and Knetsch, 1966).

The Banker's Briar Patch: The American Banker's Association And The Glass-Owen Bill Of 1913, Robert Drake Scull

History Theses & Dissertations

In order to compete with the British in international finance, leading bankers in the United States began to agitate for a central bank and "elastic" currency at least as early as 1905. Although the Panic of 1907 helped stir interest in banking reform, the political climate was so prejudiced against the banking profession that it became necessary for ABA spokesmen to condemn publicly the proposed legislation in order to insure that it would be passed. Privately, these same bankers worked closely with Woodrow Wilson and helped elect him president in 1912. Wilson returned the favor with the Federal Reserve Act …

Water Availability In The New Mexico_Apr 23-24 1981, Brian Mcdonald, John Tysseling

BBER Publications

The report reviews the principal legal and institutional factors affecting water management in the basin, including the 1906 Treaty with Mexico, the 1939 Rio Grande Compact, and the 1956 declaration of the Rio Grande Underground Water Basin by the New Mexico State Engineer. Together, these measures limited both surface-water and groundwater development within the basin and constrained the amount of water available to future users.

Direct Impact Of Forest Harvesting In Northeastern Minnesota, Philip L. Friest

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Direct impact of harvesting operations is examined as one segment in a survey of interrelationships between elements of the primary forest products industry in northeastern Minnesota, an area known popularly as the Arrowhead Region. This study follows classifications used in collection of data for 1977 from seven Minnesota counties. Information is based largely on responses from companies involved. An Input-Output model was employed in the study for assessing expenditures by loggers for wage payments, purchase of timber stumpage, vehicles and equipment operation, financial services, and employee benefits (FICA, etc.). Comparisons of relative proportions of expenditures by loggers within the study …

Consistent Forecasting For The 1980'S In State Iron Industry Development, Raymond L. Raab, Richard W. Lichty

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

A large-scale model, SIMLAB, was used to project the iron ore industry through the decade of the 1980's for the state of Minnesota. This forecast shows that past trends in the industry are unlikely to continue through 1990, although output is seen to increase slightly during this period. Future studies will deal with different development scenarios to estimate the impacts of alternate future assumptions from this baseline trend analysis.

Another Look At The Effect Of Capital Subsidies On Capital-Intensity, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

In an earlier paper in this journal, I examined the effect that the provision of capital subsidies, in the form of tax holidays whose duration depends on the level of capital investment, had on the capital-intensity of manufacturing in Peninsular Malaysia. The following basic equations were estimated, by ordinary least squares, for twelve industry-groups for 1972...

A Simulation Games Approach To Suppliment The Teaching Of Basic Economics Concepts In Elementary School, David L. Spies

All Graduate Projects

A year-long simulation game was created to facilitate the teaching of basic economics in a sixth and seventh grade middle school. The game could be adapted to implementation at lower grade levels. The students built two, table-top cities. They established a money system and were paid for positive behavior and effort. With their earned income and with loans from a bank, they purchased land, built homes, invested in business franchises, engaged in trade, and worked collectively to finance and build government projects and services. Discussion questions and evaluation tests were devloped, based upon the curriculum guidelines established by the Joint …

Property Tax Equity: A Study Of Bemidji, Minnesota, L. E. Johnson, Robert D. Ley

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The paper seeks to evaluate the equity of property tax assessments in a rural northern Minnesota area. Criteria of both vertical and horizontal equity were examined in terms of the ability to pay and benefits measures of the intra-decile relationships. In addition, other variables affecting intra-decile horizontal equity such as age and lakeshore location were considered. The data upon which the results were based were drawn from random sampling of 1000 households in the R-31 school district at Bemidji, Beltrami County, Minnesota. The sample represented 20 percent of all such households. A total of 216 households responded to a questionnaire …

F. A. Hayek On Constructivism And Ethics, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.

Economics Faculty Publications

Long before receiving his Nobel Prize, Friedrich von Hayek was well respected in the academic community. John Maynard Keynes had glowing praise for Hayek's 1944 The Road to Serfdom. Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson, antagonists on many issues, agree that Hayek's 1945 "The Use of Knowledge in Society" was a major contribution to political-economic thought. These early works by Hayek led a writer for the Nation to express what must have been the view of a great many, that "because [Hayek] is among the most thoughtful and consistent supporters of a market economy. . . those who disagree with him …
