Evolution Of Time Constructs And Their Impact On Socioeconomic Planning, F. Gregory Hayden Sep 1987

Evolution Of Time Constructs And Their Impact On Socioeconomic Planning, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

The primary focus of the institutionalist perspective is instrumentalist problem solving. Problems are delivered by the institutional process and solved by altering the social structure. To solve socioeconomic problems, planning is necessary. Important to any planning is the question of when actions and events are to occur. To effect new social structures, actions and events must be properly sequenced. An analytical core of sequencing events is time analysis. John R. Commons stated that, in addition to knowing what to do, the economist who has the power and responsibility for planning "must know what, when, how much and how far to …

Economy Review And Outlook_September 1987, Brian Mcdonald

BBER Publications

This report analyzes New Mexico’s economic performance from the 1950s through the mid‑1980s, highlighting the state’s dependence on federal spending and extractive industries. It describes the boom of the 1970s, the bust of the early 1980s, and the uneven recovery of the mid‑1980s, with strong growth in urban areas but severe decline in rural mining regions. Forecasts for 1987–1990 anticipate modest growth below national averages.

On The Treatment Of Income Tax Rates In Empirical Analysis Of Tax Evasion, Steven E. Crane, Farrokh Nourzad Aug 1987

On The Treatment Of Income Tax Rates In Empirical Analysis Of Tax Evasion, Steven E. Crane, Farrokh Nourzad

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

In this paper, it is argued that average tax rates exert an influence on income tax evasion separate from, and opposite to that of marginal tax rates. Failure to account for this effect in empirical evasion models biases the parameter estimate of the marginal rate in a predictable manner. Evidence from an aggregate empirical model of evasion in the US indicates that the marginal tax rate is positively related to evasion, whereas the average tax rate is negatively related. Further, exclusion of the average rate from the model does in fact bias the parameter estimate of the marginal tax rate.

Investment Planning Model For Optimum Allocation Of Natural Gas: A Programming Approach, V Ranganathan, R Ramanathan Jul 1987

Investment Planning Model For Optimum Allocation Of Natural Gas: A Programming Approach, V Ranganathan, R Ramanathan

IIMB Management Review

Natural gas has been recognised for a long time as a primary source in most of the developed countries. However, the developing countries like India did not realisethe full potential in this area till reeently. This is all the more appalling since natural gas seems to be India’s predominant hydrocarbon resources. As per the Advisory Board on Energy, in 1976, an Indo-Soviet geological study team had concluded that 75% of India’s ultimate hydro-carbon reserves were in the form of natural gas.

The Term Structure Of Interest Rates (With U.S. Government Term Structure Data), Robert J. Shiller, J. Huston Mcculloch Jul 1987

The Term Structure Of Interest Rates (With U.S. Government Term Structure Data), Robert J. Shiller, J. Huston Mcculloch

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper consolidates and interprets the literature on the term structure, as it stands today. Definitions of rates of return, forward rates and holding returns for all time intervals are treated here in a uniform manner and their interrelations, exact or approximate, delineated. The concept of duration is used throughout to simplify mathematical expressions. Continuous compounding is used where possible, to avoid arbitrary distinctions based on compounding assumptions. Both the theoretical and the empirical literature are treated. The attached tables by J. Huston McCulloch give term structure data for U.S. government securities 1946-1987. The tables give discount bond yields, forward …

Weak Convergence Of Sample Covariance Matrices To Stochastic Integrals Via Martingale Approximations, Peter C.B. Phillips Jul 1987

Weak Convergence Of Sample Covariance Matrices To Stochastic Integrals Via Martingale Approximations, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Under general conditions the sample covariance matrix of a vector martingale and its differences converges weakly to the matrix stochastic integral from zero to one of ∫ 0 1 BdB ’, where B is vector Brownian motion. For strictly stationary and ergodic sequences, rather than martingale differences, a similar result obtains. In this case, the limit is ∫ 0 1 BdB ’ + Λ and involves a constant matrix Λ, of bias terms whose magnitude depends on the serial correlation properties of the sequence. This note gives a simple proof of the result using martingale approximations.

An Aggregative Disequilibrium Model Of The U.S. Labour Market, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou Jul 1987

An Aggregative Disequilibrium Model Of The U.S. Labour Market, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A model is presented in which aggregation over microsectors, each in different extent of disequilibrium, has implications analogous to the standard single aggregate sector switching disequilibrium model. Empirical implementation of the model of this paper is less involved than estimation of the standard model. Hence the approach here may be seen both as providing an underlying micro justification for the switching disequilibrium model, and as a computationally simpler (though statistically less efficient) technique. The model is estimated from post-war labour market quarterly data for the U.S. Manufacturing sector. We find the supply side more satisfactorily determined than in past disequilibrium …

Bimodal T-Ratios, Peter C.B. Phillips, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou Jul 1987

Bimodal T-Ratios, Peter C.B. Phillips, Vassilis A. Hajivassiliou

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies the sampling distribution of the conventional t -ratio when the sample cromprises independent draws from a standard Cauchy (0,1) population. It is shown that this distribution displays a striking bimodality for all sample sizes and that the bimodality persists asymptotically. An asymptotic theory is developed in terms of bivariate stable variates and the bimodality is explained by the statistical dependence between the numerator and denominator statistics of the t -ratio. This dependence also persists asymptotically. These results are in contrast to the classical t statistic constructed from a normal population, for which the numerator and denominator statistics …

Testing Strictly Concave Rationality, Rosa L. Matzkin, Marcel K. Richter Jul 1987

Testing Strictly Concave Rationality, Rosa L. Matzkin, Marcel K. Richter

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We prove that the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference tests the existence of a strictly quasiconcave (in fact, continuous, generically C (∞), strictly concave, and strictly monotone) utility function generating finitely many demand observations. This sharpens earlier results of Afriat, Diewert, and Varian that tested (“nonparametrically”) the existence of a piecewise linear utility function that could only weakly generate those demand observations. When observed demand is also invertible, we show that the rationalizing can be done in a C (∞) way, thus extending a result of Chiappori and Rochet from compact sets to all of R ( n ). For …

Partially Identified Econometric Models, Peter C.B. Phillips Jul 1987

Partially Identified Econometric Models, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies a class of models where full identification is not necessarily assumed. We term such models partially identified. It is argued that partially identified systems are of practical importance since empirical investigators frequently proceed under conditions that are best described as apparent identification. One objective of the paper is to explore the properties of conventional statistical procedures in the context of identification failure. Our analysis concentrates on two major types of partially identified model: the classic simultaneous equations model under rank condition failures; and time series spurious regressions. Both types serve to illustrate the extensions that are needed …

Bivoltine Sericulture Programme In Karnataka: A Pilot Study, S Satish Jul 1987

Bivoltine Sericulture Programme In Karnataka: A Pilot Study, S Satish

IIMB Management Review

Karnataka ranks first among the states producing raw sllk in India. Entire silk production in Karnataka is of mulberry silk, a produce of the insect Bombyx mori, accounting for about 83 per cent of the country’s mulberry silk production. Sericulture is practised in about 12,300 villages spread over 14 districts. The cocoon rearing was earlier confined to the districts of Mysore, Mandya, Bangalore, Kolar and Tumkur - referred to as old areas. Now it has spread to other districts providing sustenance to about 5.31 lakh families’.
