Alternative Forms Of The Score Test For Heterogeneity In A Censored Exponential Model, Sanjiv Jaggia May 1997

Alternative Forms Of The Score Test For Heterogeneity In A Censored Exponential Model, Sanjiv Jaggia

Economics

Different versions of the score test for neglected heterogeneity for a right censored exponential model are analyzed. These tests depend on how the information matrix is estimated. A test based on the theoretical information matrix is derived that is shown to outperform all the other tests. Further, the noncentrality parameter of the test is examined to show how the power of the test is reduced when data are censored.


Public Education Supply And Student Performance, Michael L. Marlow May 1997

Public Education Supply And Student Performance, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

This paper develops a model of public exchange whereby voters and education policy makers exchange with one another within school districts. Because school district consolidation lowers alternatives to voters-parents, consolidation is hypothesized to raise public education spending because weakened intergovernmental competition allows policy makers to promote their own utility, rather than that of constituents. Models of public education spending and academic performance are estimated over 1988-1990. While evidence indicates little support for the traditional treatment of the Leviathan hypothesis that greater competition lowers public spending, this paper argues that education spending by itself does not fully provide a valid test …


The Effect Of Farm Supply Shifts On Concentration And Market Power In The Food Processing Sector, Stephen F. Hamilton, David L. Sunding May 1997

The Effect Of Farm Supply Shifts On Concentration And Market Power In The Food Processing Sector, Stephen F. Hamilton, David L. Sunding

Economics

In this paper we examine the marginal impact of changing farm supply on the market structure of the downstream food processing sector. We develop a theoretical model that allows for cost differences among processors and endogenizes downstream entry and exit. Comparative statics results are consistent with several well-established trends in the food processing sector. In particular, the analysis demonstrates that increasing concentration in the food processing sector is consistent with decreasing market power. Indeed, we find that when the farm supply curve shifts outward, an increase in concentration can only occur when there is a decrease in market power.

Sustainable Community Planning: Lessons From The Netherlands, Margot Mcdonald Apr 1997

Sustainable Community Planning: Lessons From The Netherlands, Margot Mcdonald

Architecture

In 1990, the Dutch Government adopted a national plan to develop integrated and comprehensive policies that would respond on a national, regional, and local level to the need for improved environmental quality for the welfare of current and future generations. The program, called the National Environmental Policy Plan (NEPP), represented a bold effort to develop cooperation and shared responsibility between the public and private sectors setting goals for reduced energy consumption, resource utilization, and improved environmental quality including the reduction of SO2, NOx, and CO2 emissions. This paper reports on key elements of the NEPP …
