Explaining The Growth Performances Of Asian Developing Economies, David Lim

Support & Other Units (THEi)

No matter how it is measured, the growth performance of the newly industrializing economies (NIEs) stands out. That of the Southeast Asian group, with the exception of the Philippines, and that of China is also impressive. The South Asian countries have done much less well, with countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America even further behind...

The Vehicle Quota System In Singapore: An Assessment, Winston T. H. Koh, David K. C. Lee

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This paper reviews the developments since the vehicle quota system was introduced in Singapore in May 1990. We discuss the bidding strategies for the certificates of entitlement (COE) under both the transferable and nontransferable auctions, as well as the equity of the present system and the desirability of transferable COEs. We argue that the COE auction should be made discriminatory and propose an alternative system of COE auction that we feel is both equitable and at the same time politically acceptable. We also survey developments in market competition in the car industry.

More On Modes Of Production: A Synthesis Of Some Debates Contextualized For The Philippines, Kathleen Nadeau

Anthropology Faculty Publications

A look into modes of production is one of many possible entry points for the study of society and economy. It was not well developed by Marx who only alluded to it here and there in his works. He introduced the idea in Capital. (1977, Vols. 1, 1974 II, and III), A Contribution to a Critique of Political Economy (1970), and in Pre- Capitalist Economic Formations (1964). While one can read this concept in his other texts, for example in German Ideology (1970), it is from the previously mentioned ones that others, most notably Althusser and Balibar in their Reading …

An Analysis Of Attitudes In Jefferson Township, Christine Ann Serrino

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

In August and September of 1992, citizens of Jefferson Township and Wright State University's Center for Urban and Public Affairs surveyed Township businesses. They questioned businesses about factors that might impact their establishments and plans to retain or expand their operations in the Township.

The main objective of the Jefferson Township R & E Survey was to characterize business conditions and change in the Township. Survey objectives include identifying strengths, weaknesses and needs of businesses in the community. Equally important, the survey attempts to measure what impact future changes may have on business conditions. The information gathered from the survey …

Gas Peak Design Day Analysis, Kerry Elaine Broehl

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The changing natural gas industry has increased the importance for utility companies to develop an accurate peak day forecast. The model developed for this midwest utility estimates a firm natural gas sendout econometrically, using the Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis. The peak is primarily weather driven, thus the model made use of wind-chill variables from the current day, the previous day, and the current day squared. Also included is a disposable income variable to reflect the level of economic activity.

The peak day forecast depends on using extreme weather conditions for the design day parameters. The parameters used represented the …

International Exporting Business Experience Through The Greene County Pilot Export Assistance Program, Jian Wang

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Greene County Pilot Export Assistance Project, an academic-corporate-government partnership program, is a dynamic program to assist small and medium-sized companies realizing export potentiality and capturing a share of international markets. This program is an ongoing program that is expected to last from one to two years. My part consisted of a one quarter study of the export assistance programs, processes and outcomes for selected Greene County firms, that were interested in expanding their existing export markets or have exportable products or services ready for the international market. The project entails training in the use of National Trade Data Bank …

A Limit Theorem For A Smooth Class Of Semiparametric Estimators, Ariel Pakes, Steven Olley

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We consider an econometric model based on a set of moment conditions which are indexed by both a finite dimensional parameter vector of interest, θ, and an infinite dimensional parameter, h , which in turn depends upon both θ and another infinite dimensional parameter, τ. The model assumes that the moment conditions equal zero at the true value of all unknown parameters. Estimators of θ are obtained by forming nonparametric estimates of h and τ, substituting them into the sample analog of the moment conditions, and choosing that value of θ that makes the sample moments as “close as possible” …

The Allocation Of Resources In The Presence Of Indivisibilities, Herbert E. Scarf

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The pricing tests for optimality in a convex programming problem are not available when the production possibility set displays economies of scale. The paper argues that indivisibilities in production are one of the major causes of such economies. The constrained optimization problems arising in the presence of indivisibilities are integer programs, and it is proposed that the unique, minimal quantity tests for such problems may shed some light on the internal organization of a large firm.

Marching To Different Drummers: Coordination And Independence In Monetary And Fiscal Policies, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Most countries have recently experienced high fiscal deficits and real interest rates that depressed national saving and slowed economic growth. This study analyzes the reasons that underlie the skewed fiscal-monetary mix. The first section develops a game-theoretic model of fiscal and monetary coordination and shows that the macroeconomic outcomes depend upon the degree of coordination or independence. The second section applies this approach to the Clinton package by using three macroeconomic models to estimate the likely macroeconomic impacts of different degrees of coordination. The paper concludes that an uncoordinated policy may lead to substantial loss of output that will not …

The Integration Of Banking Systems In The Ec, Heidi M. Munson '94

Honors Projects

The European Conununity, (EC), is moving closer and closer to full economic integration. There is general agreement that the economic integration of these countries will have major sectoral and national impacts. One sector that will be affected is the banking sector. The banking sector, or the financial sector in general, is extremely important; the efficiency of that sector, in its role as intermediary, is crucial to the efficiency of the economy as a wnole.

A Quarterly General Fund Revenue Forecasting Model For Clark County, George A. Sodders

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Clark County econometric general fund revenue forecasting model developed establishes a connection between conditions in the local and national economy. The model was designed to hold economic rationale and econometric modeling procedure. In the model, variation in the predictor variables account for 70% of the variation in the general fund revenue collection.

Econometric models reflect the conditions present in the local, regional, and national economy at the time of development. Since conditions in the economy are subject to change, the relationship of the predictor variable to general fund revenue collections may change in the future.
