An Evaluation Of The Vocational Education Program In Stanton High School And Recommendations For Expansion, Marsha Bristow Todd

Graduate Theses

An evaluation and recommendations for change to the vocational education program at Stanton High School was conducted on the basis of existing programs, community needs survey, interviews with administration personnel, and a review of literature on vocational education. A survey of the 204 Class AA high schools was conducted to ascertain the type of vocational programs that were provided and the reasons for inclusion of each listed program. 166 responses were received. The accumulated data was then translated into tables showing what existed, what was being done elsewhere, and what was perceived as being needed.

The Optimal Progressive Income Tax — The Existence And The Limit Tax Rates, Mamoru Kaneko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The purpose of this paper is to consider the problem of optimal income taxation in the domain of progressive (convex) income tax function. This paper proves the existence of an optimal tax function and that the optimal marginal and average tax rates tend asymptotically to 100 percent as income level becomes arbitrarily high.

The Conventionally Stable Sets In Noncooperative Games With Limited Observations: Definitions And Introductory Arguments, Mamoru Kaneko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper attempts to define a new solution concept for n-person noncooperative games. The idea of the new concept is based on that of the von Neumann-Morgenstern stable set, or more precisely, rather on their interpretation of it which they call “standards of behavior.” This new approach enables us to consider new interesting problems of information. Further this approach gives us a plausible interpretation of Nash equilibrium. This paper provides the definition and considers the new solution concept for zero-sum two-person games, the prisoner’s dilemma, the battle of sexes and games with a continuum of players.

Resource Taxation With Heterogeneous Quality And Endogenous Reserves, Robert F. Conrad, Bryce Hool

Research Collection School Of Economics

This paper analyzes the impact of mining taxation on the intertemporal extraction profile for a heterogeneous ore body. The extraction profile specifies both quantities and qualities extracted in each period. Total extraction is thus endogenously determined. The taxes explicitly considered are severance taxes (ad valorem or per unit; on metal or on ore), property taxes, and profits taxes (with depletion allowance). The intertemporal framework integrates economic and geological factors, generating new results on extraction distortions and providing qualification or reconciliation of previous diverse results in this area.

The Impact Of Different Government Units In The Regulation Of The Workplace Environment, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

This study examines the issue of whether or not state and federal job safety agencies provide the same levels of public output. Tests are conducted on the hypothesis that state takeover of regulation from the federal program serves to reduce the costs of firms. These costs are comprised of two components: the penalties for noncompliance and the uncertainty costs of regulation. The public policy implication that is drawn from these tests is that it matters to firms which government unit regulates them.

On The Infinite Welfare Cost Of Inflation And Other Second Order Effects, Christophe Chamley

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The optimal inflation rate is analyzed in a simple model of intertemporal general equilibrium where agents have an operative bequest motive and taxation is distortionary. Monetary balances are used as a productive input, and agents have perfect foresight. The optimal value of the permanent inflation rate can be approximated by a simple formula. The case in which the growth of aggregate income exceeds the social discount rate is unlikely to be important, and the optimal value of the permanent inflation rate depends on the existence of a short-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation.

U.S. Policy: Food Production In Low Income Countries, Donald Taylor

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This paper reflects observations and experiences arising from the author's living and working as a specialist in agricultural development in Asia during 1965-1980. The basic issues addressed are whether the USA should be involved with efforts to improve food production systems in low-income countries and, if so, what might be the forms of that involvement.

Bank Structure And Mortgage Rates: Implications For Interstate Banking, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

Competition in financial markets has been the subject of many studies in the area of market structure and performance. This paper analyzes the differences in mortgage rates between unit banking and branch banking states to consider the likely outcome of interstate banking on competition. A model of interest rate determination is developed which suggests that, at least in the mortgage market, interstate banking will, ceteris paribus, decrease competition if it lowers the number of competing firms and increases deposit concentration levels. Support is provided for the argument that only those states under statewide branching laws may receive more competitive …

Efficient Stationary Taxation And Intertemporal General Equilibrium, Christophe Chamley, Douglas Downing

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We present a method to analyze the welfare cost of price distortions created by taxes on the incomes of capital and labor and on consumption in an intertemporal model of general equilibrium. This efficiency cost depends in an important way on the production technology. It is not very sensitive to the ratio between the tax rates on capital and labor respectively, when the elasticity of substitution between these factors is small. Our method allows us to determine under the assumptions of the model, the optimal combination of taxes on capital and labor income respectively. The consumption tax is more efficient …
