The Southwest Corridor And Economic Development In Boston's Neighborhoods, Daryl Hellman, Andrew Sum, Joseph Warren

New England Journal of Public Policy

The Southwest Corridor is a narrow strip of land running five miles from the South End of Boston through Roxbury and ending in Jamaica Plain. Twenty years ago, neighborhoods through which the Corridor passes experienced tremendous upheaval as space was cleared for the proposed construction of Interstate 95. The communities were able to stop the highway project, but not without a long and difficult struggle and the eventual support of then Governor Francis Sargent. Today, the Southwest Corridor Project involves a new MBTA Orange Line relocated along the Corridor, with nine new stations at a total cost of approximately $750 …

The Changing Canadian Inventive Spatial Economic Pattern: An Urban And Regional Analysis Between 1881 And 1986, S.L. Brian Ceh

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Canadian urban and regional patent and trademark data was analysed between 1881 and 1986 in an attempt to distinguish spatial inventive patterns in Canada over time. Inventive activity, as a pre—condition for economic development, is a viable indicator for predicting future economic growth in an inventive spatial economy. As such, it will be possible to extend the description of spatial inventive patterns in Canada after 1986. The percentage and relative level of inventive activity in urban centers and regions in Canada will help distinguish spatial inventive patterns in Canada over time. This information was based on a 25 percent systematic …

Post-Chicago Law And Economics, Randy E. Barnett

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This is not another "law-and-econ" bashing symposium. Nor is the symposium's title intended to denigrate Chicago School law and economics any more than the term "Post-Keynesian economics" was intended to denigrate the work of John Maynard Keynes. Instead, this symposium marks the fact that many practitioners of law and economics have moved well beyond the stereotypes familiar to most legal academics. Rather than designating an entirely new school of thought, the term "Post-Chicago law and economics" refers to a new era in which a variety of new questions about law and lawmaking is being asked and a variety of promising …

Economics Of Siting The Albuquerque_January 1989, Anna Weniger Lamberson

BBER Publications

The study evaluates the relative economic merits of two proposed landfill locations for the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County area: the Cerro Colorado site west of Albuquerque and the Tri-Sect site in Valencia County. Prepared by Anna Weniger Lamberson of the University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research under contract with Bernalillo County, the study compares the long-term costs associated with transportation, road construction, land acquisition, utility extensions, groundwater monitoring, closure requirements, and landfill liner systems. The analysis standardizes assumptions regarding landfill capacity, operating life, and waste volumes to permit direct comparison of the two sites.

An Economic Analysis Of Fertility, Market Participation And Marriage Behaviour In Recent Japan, David K. C. Lee, Chin Lee Gan

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This is the 1st attempt in modelling fertility, labor force participation and marriage rate using Japanese data. The authors use Butz and Ward's model and extend it to a simultaneous equation system as in the case of Winegarden. Although the estimates obtained by Full Information Maximum Likelihood and Three Stage Least Squares of the model are statistically significant, some of the signs of the estimates are not consistent to a priori predictions. The crux of the model is that an increase in the wages of men has an unambiguous positive effect on fertility, whereas an increase in wages of women …

Expenditures And Receipts In State And Local Government Finances: Reply, Michael L. Marlow, Neela Manage

Economics

Chowdhury (1988) adopts an alternative technique to test for causality between expenditures and receipts of state and loyal governments and claims that he obtains results that are different from those reported in our 1987 paper (Marlow and Manage, 1987). We disagree with many of his criticisms. In this reply, we argue that he misinterprets our results and policy implications and that his results are really not much different from ours; in fact, sometimes his results provide stronger support of our hypothesis.

A Consistency Model For India's Eight And Ninth Plans: With Analysis Of Basic Needs, Ranajit Dhar, M R Rao, Sanjay Goel

IIMB Management Review

India has been giving, as part of the various five year plans, an increasingly
high emphasis on poverty alleviation. However, success till now cannot be
considered as satisfactory. Nearly 40 crore people, representing half the population
of the country, are deprived of the basic necessities of life such as minimum
nutrition, clothing, housing, health and educational facilities etc. This number is the
same as the population we had at the time of independence in 1947.
The country is now engaged.in the preparation of the Eighth plan (1990-91
to 1994-95). It is essential that the problem of poverty alleviation is tackled …
