Some Financial Implications Of Divestiture Legislation, John Griffith, Jack W. Waldrip Oct 1977

Some Financial Implications Of Divestiture Legislation, John Griffith, Jack W. Waldrip

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

Those critical of divestiture legislation emphasize both the relative lack of concentration and the advantages of grouping the development of two or more energy materials under the management of one corporate business. Many of these arguments are extremely difficult to evaluate without harder evidence than appears to be available at present. This paper purports to deal with some of the financial and legal consequences of different possible methods of accomplishing divestiture.

Economics And Net Energy Analysis: Is A New Analytical Technique Needed For Energy Decision Making?, William J. Kruvant Oct 1977

Economics And Net Energy Analysis: Is A New Analytical Technique Needed For Energy Decision Making?, William J. Kruvant

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

The paper attempts to evaluate the claims of Net Energy Analysis (NEA) against those of economics in a reasonably comprehensive way. The principal problems of NEA concern system boundaries, aggregation across fuels, valuing external effects, valuing human labor and valuing time. These problems seriously limit the contribution Net Energy Analysis can make to allocation decisions, and allocation Is the central problem of energy policy.

An Overview Of Potential Impacts Of Changing Petroleum Energy Prices On Grain Farms, Jean-Paul Chavas, James B. Kliebenstein Oct 1977

An Overview Of Potential Impacts Of Changing Petroleum Energy Prices On Grain Farms, Jean-Paul Chavas, James B. Kliebenstein

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

Since the early 1970s world fossil fuel energy prices have risen dramatically. Assuming there is no significant breakthrough in en- ergy technology, the world will see further increases in energy prices. These changes will likely lead to economic adjustments in U. S. agriculture. A firm level linear programming model is used to evaluate what some of these adjustments could be on a Missouri grain farm. To obtain expected energy price affects on production mixes, energy prices are changed parametrically. Potential crop adjustments are from corn to single-crop soybeans to wheat as energy prices increase. Fertilization adjustments are from chemical to …

The Impact Of Changing Net Returns On Minimum Energy Requirements For Grain Farms, James B. Kliebenstein, Robert M. Finley, Douglas C. Farthing Oct 1977

The Impact Of Changing Net Returns On Minimum Energy Requirements For Grain Farms, James B. Kliebenstein, Robert M. Finley, Douglas C. Farthing

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

With sources of energy more restricted and higher priced, optimal combinations of enterprises must logically be considered on the basis of energy efficiency. One method of ascertaining this efficiency is to optimize solutions for given levels of income on the basis of energy used (e.g., the objective function was in terms of energy kilocalories). In general, soybeans were most feasible at lower levels of income regardless of farm size and labor circumstance. As income levels increased, double-cropping (wheat soybeans) was first substituted and finally corn at highest income levels.

U. S. Trade Policy - Procedures And Prospects, Clayton K. Yeutter Oct 1977

U. S. Trade Policy - Procedures And Prospects, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers

To fully understand U.S. trade policy today, one must also understand its process of evolution. ~n particular, one must comprehend our trade policy of the late 1960's and early 1970 1 s, culminating in passage of the Trade Act of 1974. Putting it another way, a Brazilian businessman will be able to predict with much more accuracy what the U.S. will or will not do on trade issues in the coming years if he knows what the U.S. did or did not do on trade issues during the past few years, and why. Our trade policy of today is very …

Sealed Bid Auctions With Non-Additive Bid Functions, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans Oct 1977

Sealed Bid Auctions With Non-Additive Bid Functions, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A traditional sealed bid auction of a single item sells the item at the high bid price to a bidder with the highest bid. Such an auction may be used to auction several items; each bidder submits a bid on each item and each item is sold to a high bidder on that item. Implicit in this traditional scheme is the assumption that the bid for a set of items is the sum of the bids on the individual items: there are instances where this restriction appears unreasonable. This paper considers a more general sealed bid auction in which bids …

The Greedy Heuristic Applied To A Class Of Set Partitioning And Subset Selection Problems, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans Oct 1977

The Greedy Heuristic Applied To A Class Of Set Partitioning And Subset Selection Problems, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The greedy heuristic may be used to obtain approximate solutions to integer programming problems. For some classes of problems, notably knapsack problems related to the coin changing problem, the greedy heuristic results in optimal solutions. However, the greedy heuristic does quite poorly at maximizing submodular set functions. This paper considers a class of set partitioning and subset selection problems. Results similar to those for maximizing submodular set functions are obtained for less restricted objective functions. The example used to show how poorly the heuristic does is motivated by a problem arising from an actual auction; the negative results are not …

An Analysis Of Citizen Attitudes Towards The Establishment Of Bus Service In The City Of Roswell, New Mexico, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report analyzes public readiness and support for a municipal public transit system in Roswell, New Mexico. Based on a sample of 595 households, the study finds that while 47% of residents indicate they would use the bus service, potential ridership significantly increases to 62% among families with handicapped members who heavily rely on the service to solve severe transportation issues. Furthermore, a clear community consensus emerged regarding public financing, with 72% approving the use of city funds for capital expenditures and a 54.6% majority supporting municipal tax increases to cover daily operations.

Government Regulation And The Slowdown In Innovation, Murray L. Weidenbaum Oct 1977

Government Regulation And The Slowdown In Innovation, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The excessively rapid expansion of government regulation of business is slowing down the rate of innovation and scientific progress in the United States. The answer is not to eliminate all forms of government regulation, however. Rather, the sensible approach is to reform the existing array of regulation so as to achieve important social objectives with fewer of the adverse side effects.

Equilibrium And Disequilibrium Interpretations Of The Is-Lm Model, Gary Smith Aug 1977

Equilibrium And Disequilibrium Interpretations Of The Is-Lm Model, Gary Smith

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

There is a considerable tension in neoKeynesian macroeconomics as to whether the familiar IS-LM analysis should be interpreted as a description of equilibrium or disequilibrium. The present paper shows how the IS-LM model can be used for either purpose. The first section provides the preliminaries for the model of disequilibrium behavior that I will use. The second section lays out the sectoral notional and effective demands. The third section gives the equilibrium solution while the fourth and fifth sections give excess supply and excess demand solutions respectively.

A Kentucky Dressmaker, Mrs. A.H. (Carrie) Taylor: An Examination Of Her Role In Fashion At The Turn Of The Century, Janice Centers Jul 1977

A Kentucky Dressmaker, Mrs. A.H. (Carrie) Taylor: An Examination Of Her Role In Fashion At The Turn Of The Century, Janice Centers

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

One dressmaker, Mrs. A. H. Taylor of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was studied in order to draw attention to the role of the dressmaker in American fashion. A biography of Mrs. A. H. Taylor and the business history were compiled; available designs were analyzed in relation to current fashion; and an investigation of the business organization was made. It was found that the dressmaking establishment played an important role in the lives of women of that time period. Fashionable custom fit clothing was made available to local residents and to mail-order customers. The establishment was one of the few businesses which …
