The Economic Development Of Greece: The Post-World War Ii Period, John Chilas

Economics ETDs

The present dissertation attempts basically to describe the functioning of a developing economy like Greece, for the post-World War II period, in terms of twelve structural equations. It further demonstrates the usefulness of the system of equations in contributing to the solution of complex problems of economic forecasting and policy making. After a thorough examination of the major developments during the post-war years and the main characteristics and problems facing the Greek economy, the study presents the postulated theoretical and empirical foundations of the structure of the model. The structural equations are estimated basically by the method of single equation …

Price Information And The Economics Of Consumerism: A Model Of Stochastic Equilibrium, John Sutton

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A model of a quasi-competitive industry is constructed, in which the firm’s sales are described by a random variable whose expected rate of change depends on price. It is shown that a stationary (non-degenerate) distribution of prices results, so that price differences persist over time. It is further shown that, as consumers become more aware of, and responsive to, price differences between firms, the average price set by the (profit maximizing) firms tends to decrease, implying a reduction in the degree of monopoly in the industry.

James H. Burton And The Development Of The Confederate Small Arms Industry, Eugene K. Wilson Iii

History Theses & Dissertations

James H. Burton was a key figure in the development of the Confederate small arms industry. It was largely through his efforts that the C.S. Armory, Richmond was placed in operation as quickly as it was. The plan to establish a central, or national, armory in the deep South was attributable to him. Burton's European contacts, cultivated while organizing the Royal Armory at Enfield, professional acumen, personality and loyalty all contributed to a large degree to the success of the Confederate Ordnance Bureau despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Money, Expectations And The Existence Of A Temporary Equilibrium, Bryce Hool

Research Collection School Of Economics

The article presents information on money, expectations and the existance of a temporary equilibrium. If money and financial assets are to be integrated into general equilibrium theory, it is apparent that the classical Arrow-Debreu framework must be modified. As long as all trading takes place essentially at some initial point in time, with each individual subject only to a present value budget constraint, there is no place in the system for money, either as a medium of exchange or as a store of value, even if uncertainty about future states of the world is introduced as in G. Debreu's work, …

An Economic Analysis Of Economic Inequality, John P. Huttman

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

"Inequality is what economics should be all about," argued the late R.H. Tawney. It isn't, because concern with the patterns of distribution of wealth and income is shared with production, upon which consumption is contingent. Concentration of wealth and unequal levels of income largely reflect the patterns of returns to labor and investment in a traditional capitalist economy. Additionally, income tromfers, rationalized on other than a labor or investment compensation basis, alter the patterns of income and wealth holdings. Pronounced economic inequality, while prevalent in capitalist economies, would not seem to result from the market mechanism. Broadly based ownership of …

The Cost-Of-Service Indexing Clause Concept, W. David Eberle

Economics ETDs

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and evaluate the objectives of the CSI as one possible long-range solution to the crisis faced by the electric utility industry today. Consisting of five chapters, the first presents a brief history of events that led to PNM proposing the CSI. This historical overview lends understanding to the gravity of the utilities’ financial crisis and to the need for reform action to prevent another similar crisis.

The Cost-Of-Service Indexing Clause Concept, W. David Eberle

Economics ETDs

The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) persuaded the Public Service Commission of New Mexico (PSC), in March 1975, to adopt a cost-of-service index (CSI) approach to setting electric service rates as an alternative to setting the service rates through formal rate hearings. This thesis primarily reviews the CSI's impact on the Company and the Commission.

PNM asked for an alternative method of setting service rates because of the electric utility industry's financial crisis in the early 1970s. The rapidly changing, economic environment of this period created severe upward pressure on prices and costs. The inability of regulatory commissions …
