Documentation For Econ 199, Kang Lang Lee

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This internship report consists of the materials and techniques that I prepared for teaching the two sessions of ECON 199, an introductory undergraduate Economics course, at the University of Findlay, Findlay, Ohio.

My primary objective in teaching these classes was to make economics courses interesting by introducing students to the basic economic concepts, providing them a better picture of how the economy performs, and showing them how to analyze and solve current economic problems.

A Listing Of Foreign Firms And Companies Operating In The Dayton Area Chamber Of Commerce, Abdul Qadeer Fitrat

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Development of a listing of foreign-owned businesses operating in and around Dayton is aimed at creating a directory of foreign firms for the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce's data base. This will help the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce to publish an up-to-date list of foreign subsidiaries and further promote foreign interest in the Dayton business community.

A wide variety of sources were consulted to accurately identify all Dayton-based, foreign-controlled businesses. These sources include prominent directories of foreign-owned firms, foreign embassies, consulates and trade commissions, a variety of publications of the U.S. Department of Commerce, local chambers of commerce and …

A Quarterly Income Tax Revenue Forecasting Model For The City Of Fairborn Ohio, Mark Thomas Fraley

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Fairborn econometric income tax revenue forecasting model developed establishes a connection between conditions in the local, regional, and national economy and the variance of income tax collections. The model was designed to meet as many of the criteria stated in the Foster Group's Assessment as possible, while still holding to economic theory and econometric modeling procedures. In the model, variation in the predictor variables account for 97% of the variation in income tax collections. Several statistical tests were conducted on the model to insure efficient and unbiased results.

In demonstrating the forecasting procedures for the model, assumptions for high, …

Simulation Estimation Methods For Limited Dependent Variable Models, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This chapter discusses simulation estimation methods that overcome the computational intractability of classical estimation of limited dependent variable models with flexible correlation structures in the unobservable stochastic terms. These difficulties arise because of the need to evaluate accurately very high dimensional integrals. The methods based on simulation do not require the exact evaluation of these integrals and hence are feasible using computers of even moderate power. I first discuss a series of ideas that had been used in efforts to circumvent these computational problems by employing standard numerical analysis approximation methods. I then show how simulation techniques solve the computational …

Empirical Implications Of Arbitrage-Free Asset Markets, S. Maheswaran, Christopher A. Sims

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The martingale-equivalence condition delivered by a non-arbitrage assumption in complete asset markets has implications for fine-time-unit asset price behavior that can be rejected with finite spans of data. A class of stochastic processes that could model such deviations from martingale-equivalence is proposed.

Index-Based Futures And Options Markets In Real Estate, Karl E. Case, Robert J. Shiller, Allan N. Weiss

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Most institutional and individual portfolios are very undiversified in real estate: many hold no real estate at all, many have holdings highly concentrated in certain regions or types of real estate. The risk of these concentrated holdings is not hedged. We propose here that cash-settled futures and options markets be opened on real estate to better allow diversification and hedging, and show that these markets solve problems that have hampered other real estate hedging media in the past. Related institutions, such as home equity insurance, might develop around the futures and options markets. The establishment of these markets is likely …

Non-Monetary Effects On Inflation Within The Price-Gap Model, Leonard Loebach

Masters Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to examine some of the various non-monetary effects on inflation within the framework of the price-gap model. Some of the non-monetary shocks that can affect inflation include wage adjustments, changes in basic commodity prices (for example, crude oil), changes in the exchange rates, and shifts in inflationary expectations.

In April of 1989, a study was put out by the Federal Reserve (staff study 157) that examined the relationship between the current price level and an estimate of the long-run equilibrium price level. In the study, an indicator P* (pronounced P-star) was used to estimate …

Banking The Furnace: Restructuring Of The Steel Industry In Eight Countries, Trevor Bain

Upjohn Press

Trevor Bain explores the industry restructurings that occurred in eight major steel-producing countries, including the U.S., Germany and Japan. He begins by categorizing each country as having either an adversarial or a cooperative industrial relations system, and then analyzes the differences in implementation strategies. He also determines who - employers, employees, or government - bore the cost of these adjustments and which industrial relations systems were more efficient in restructuring.

Documentation For Economics 210 And 330, Elizabeth R. Da Costa

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

For my internship project for the M.S. degree in Economics, I propose to teach the courses Economics 210 and Economics 330 at Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio, during the Winter Quarter, 1992. As it is necessary for Dr. Peter Iwomi, Acting Chairperson for the Department of Economics, to be away from the campus during the first four weeks of the quarter, I have been hired to teach those two Economics courses in his absence. Upon Dr. Iwomi's return, I shall continue teaching the Economics 210, Microeconomics course, but will assist with the Economics 330, Intermediate Microeconomics course, as necessary.

Getting Domestic Technology Transfer On Track, Donovan O'Neil Robinson

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The confluence of the recession and end of the Cold War has brought the issue of technology transfer to the forefront of national debate. Each of these significant events is challenging by itself but together they are greater than the sum of the parts. At the center of technology transfer debate is the U.S. laboratory system. A de-emphasis on defense related R&D coupled with a move toward commercial applications is the predominant policy choice to strengthen America’s international competitiveness. This paper examines technology transfer from the Department of Energy to the private sector as reported in "Fossil Energy: From Laboratory …

Symmetric Noncooperative Models Of Innovation: A Simulation Study, Noel Mckinney

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This paper examines two symmetric noncooperative models of innovation: the model by Loury (1979) and the model by Lee and Wilde (1980). In the Loury model, investment in research and development is treated as an "up front" expenditure, while in the Lee and Wilde model the investment in research and development is treated as an ongoing expenditure flow that occurs throughout the research and development process. The effect that rivalry from competing firms has on the research and development investment of a given firm is studied through simulations using the two models. The simulations show that the relationship between research …

A Comparison Of The Naval Air Systems Command Model Iii Method With The United States Air Force Repair Level Analysis Method Of Level Of Repair Analysis For Recommendation Of A Lora Methodology On The Joint Service V-22 Osprey Program, John David Driessnack

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

In the past 30 years Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) has been developed within the Department of Defense (DoD). The LORA process, outlined in the new Military Standard (MIL-STD) 1390D, is required to be accomplished in each DoD weapon system acquisition program. The Standard outlines 13 different service peculiar models. The Joint V-22 Program must determine an effective LORA methodology that appropriately considers Service unique requirements while limiting the need to run both the NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND (NAVAIRSYSCOM) Model III and the Air Force RLA methods of LORA. The two methods, compared by relating …

Job Accessibility And The Employment And School Enrollment Of Teenagers, Keith R. Ihlanfeldt

Upjohn Press

Ihlanfeldt presents data that strongly support the "spatial mismatch hypothesis" for the high unemployment rate of disadvantaged teens. This theory, which the author thoroughly outlines in this work, asserts that the suburbanization of low-skill jobs and continued housing market segregation have reduced the job opportunities of inner-city dwelling minorities. This book extends Ihlanfeldt's earlier work on spatial mismatch by incorporating school enrollment decisions and other urban factors into his analysis. Thus, he also demonstrates empirically that job access is related to the high school dropout problem and concludes that poor access to jobs is useful in explaining the relatively low …

Changes In The Western Australian Dairy Farm Industry, Ross Kingwell, Graham Annan

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Over the past decade, the number of dairy cows and the number of producers in the Western Australian dairy industry have steadily declined. The industry still relies heavily on market milk quotas for its profits, but recent export contracts have boosted profits from manufacturing milk production.

Market milk quotas remain unevenly distributed across the dairy regions and amongst quotaholders, although the regional distribution of quotas is changing.
