The Models Of Economic Choice Theory: A Paradigm For Non-Economists, John Heineke

Economics

The ultimate goal of social science is to explain individual and group behavior within given institutional constraints. In practice this means developing models which effectively describe and predict human behavior. Recent experience has shown a particular approach to modeling individual behavior to be especially useful. The approach in question has been developed by economists and consists of using the analytical structure of utility theory to focus attention on the determinants of individual choice and then analyzing the responsiveness of individual choices to changes in these determinants. The success of model building in this format is evidenced by the fact that …

A Labor Theoretic Analysis Of The Criminal Choice, John Heineke, M. K. Block

Economics

Although many criminal choice problems may be viewed within an expanded labor choice framework, care must be exercised if these problems are to be interpreted in terms of strictly monetary costs and benefits. We show below that by not fully specifying their choice problems, and therefore the transformation between what is inherently a multiattribute decision problem and the wealth-only problem, Becker, Ehrlich, and Sjoquist are led to conclusions which are valid only in very special cases. In general, we show that plausible preference restrictions are not sufficient to generate unambiguous supply results, a result that should come as no surprise …

Water For Energy_1975, Allen V. Kneese, F. Lee Brown

BBER Publications

The report analyzes the water requirements of major energy-production technologies and evaluates the potential consequences of large-scale domestic fossil-fuel development, particularly in the arid western United States. The authors review water demands associated with coal mining, coal gasification, coal liquefaction, oil shale processing, thermal electric generation, refinery operations, transportation systems, sulfur-removal technologies, secondary petroleum recovery, and land reclamation. They emphasize that energy production depends heavily on water for cooling, processing, dust control, transportation, pollution control, and reclamation activities and that rapid expansion of domestic energy supplies could create significant competition for limited water resources.

More specifically, the purpose of this dissertation is: (1) to provide an overview of the basic principles underlying each school's conception of the development process; (2) to restate the fundamental hypotheses concerning development that are held by the two contending schools; and (3) to analyze the validity of the two theories by examining the available historical evidence of the developmental process as it …

Private Markets And Social Control, Lloyd D. Orr

IUSTITIA

The continuing failure of society to deal adequately with its problems has led to criticism that goes beyond the imperfections of a fundamentally sound social organization. Individual economic incentive and private markets, the basics of our economic organization, are condemned as inherently destructive of desirable social goals. It may be that such criticism is naive with respect to the basic history of economic organization and the prospects for meaningful alternatives. It also may be that the "solutions" offered are frequently more authoritarian than the critics allege the present system to be. We are still left to ponder the vital, long-standing, …

New Incentives For Middle Class Philanthropy: Radical Funding For The Public Good, Samuel M. Loescher

IUSTITIA

The recent expansions in membership and budget of the American Civil Liberties Union and, even more dramatically, the explosive funding by mail of newly-founded Common Cause and Public Citizen, all suggest the presence of evolutionary forces at work in the American political economy that are encouraging a renewal of middle class associations to monitor powerful institutions and to advocate in behalf of the relatively powerless.

The rash of whistle-blowing disclosures of citizen professionals which have alerted us to the multi-billion dollar wastage on C-5As and attack carriers, the existence of My-Lais, the military assemblage of dossiers on 30 million civilians, …
