Forecasting The Value Of Water Rights: A Case Study Of New Mexico, Rahman Khoshakhlagh

Economics ETDs

In considering the economic future of the American Southwest, important questions to be addressed are the expected availability of water and the price at which that available water will be provided to the ultimate consumers.

Using several sources, Chapter 1 illustrates that the Southwest in general, and New Mexico specifically will face what is called an "absolute scarcity" of water before the turn of the century. There are two alternatives with which to resolve this "absolute scarcity:'' (i) using physical means to make more water available to the region under stress, or (ii) setting up a mechanism to resolve scarcity …

A Systematic Approach To Education In The Andrews Independent School District, Pat K. Watkins

Graduate Theses

During the past decade, people in most areas of public and private life have turned to questioning the conditions under which they live and the quality of life itself. After years of rapid expansion, deficiencies, obsolete facilities, and practices, inadequacies in the educational product, and lack of long-term goals that are generally agreed upon by consumer and producer became apparent. Many people think that somebody is responsible for the shortcomings and should be held accountable. Determining responsibility for learning results is complicated by the many variables, controllable and uncontrollable, that affect the outcomes of the learner's experiences. Who is responsible …

Interpretations And Implementations Of Compulsory Free Enterprise Education In Utah Public High Schools, Marsha M. Campbell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Utah legislature passed Senate Bill 203 in 1975, requiring all public secondary schools to offer instruction on the essentials and benefits of free enterprise. The problem is that no evaluation has been made to determine if the specific requirement is being fulfilled. The purpose of this study is to determine interpretations and implementations of Senate Bill 203. Questions in four areas were studied.

1. Administrators: (a) how did administrators of the districts interpret the guidelines, (b) how did the administrators decide upon the approach followed, (c) how did the administrators justify the approach followed, (d) what instructional materials did …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The capitalization effect of property tax differentials for the four market quarters in 1976 was studied in the Logan, Utah market area. A secondary aspect of the study was to assess the variations in the assessed to market value ratio.

107 observed sales were used for the data set. Age of structure, square feet in structure, quality of neighborhood, and property tax were noted for each property sold.

From the regression analysis it was found that there was a significant capitalization of the tax differentials. The results indicate that a one-percent change in the property tax will result in a …

The Consequences Of Rapid Population Growth On Nigeria's Economic Development: A Simple Econometric Analysis, Richard A. Eniang

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the economic implications of a rapid population growth on Nigeria's economic development. It was particularly interesting to study the relationship, because at the present Nigeria is making some economic progress while undergoing a demographic transition. Apparently, despite the acceptable growth of the national income, the growth of the per capita output has not been encouraging. This output growth must have been hampered by the rather rapid population growth in Nigeria.

The neoclassical growth theory was basically employed to explain the growth of output in the economy in terms of both capital and …

The Economics Of Architectural Conservation, Gary Lynn Peterson

Economics ETDs

This thesis addresses the economic issues affecting investment in architectural conservation. The potential benefits of conserving architecturally and/or historically significant structures are private benefits accruing to the owners and positive externalities accruing to the public, such as increases in tourism and land values (to the extent these benefits are not internalized by the owners), option values, and existence values. If all of these benefits are not recognized and accounted for, an undervaluation of architectural conservation generally results, which inevitably leads to misallocation of resources. Other possible constraints to investment in architectural conservation include the slow, and sometimes costly, information process, …

A Multi-Year Analysis Of Irrigation Practices Affecting Salt Outflow: A Case Study In Uintah Basin, Joel R. Cannon

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Colorado River is subject to a salinity problem which affects the downstream user. It has been suggested that approximately 40% of the salinity in the Colorado River results from irrigation return flow. The evapotranspiration process extracts nearly pure water for plant use leaving behind soluable salts which may become part of the return flow. These salts adversely affect the crop yield for the downstream user.

Farmers' contributions to the irrigation return flow have been criticized. With the criticisms have been many suggestions on salinity control, including restriction of salt outflow at the farm level through either voluntary or mandatory …

Income Distribution Effects Of Water Quality Controls: An Econometric Approach, Ming Chien Chen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The imposition of water quality controls may affect the economy chiefly by altering aggregate production and changing the factor payments, These two effects could not only reallocate resources among production possibilities, but also could change the distribution of benefits of production among members of the society.

This study attempted to provide a workable theory to establish an empirical test of the impacts of water quality controls on family income distribution. It consists of two separate areas: first, to analyze methodologies of measuring income distribution changes, and, second, to develop a theoretical model that is useful for empirical tests of the …

United States Foreign Policy And Mesopotamian Oil 1923-1928, Robert Francaviglia

History Theses & Dissertations

This thesis views the efforts of American oil interests to participate in the exploitation of Middle East oil resources in the 192Os as a point of departure in United States foreign policy. In its opposition to official involvement in the affairs of private business, the United States Government insisted that American oil companies negotiate directly with the British Government­ dominated companies which controlled the Near and Middle East. By placing the execution of its international oil policy under the control of private industry, the United States Government surrendered its capacity to conduct diplomacy with regard to a vital strategic resource. …

A Comparison Of Defense And Welfare Spending In The United States And The United Kingdom, 1946-1976, James L. Clayton

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

One of the most important and absorbing questions of our time is whether governments should extend or retrench their efforts toward assisting people who do not seem to be able to make it on their own. Those who believe that governments should expand their programs to help the needy argue that a compassionate and affluent society has both the ability and the responsibility to do so; those who believe that governments have already pushed too far and too fast argue that the advance of the welfare state must be halted. Closely related to this basic disagreement is the question whether …
