Comparison Of Public Choice Systems, Robert J. Weber Sep 1978

Comparison Of Public Choice Systems, Robert J. Weber

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The area of social decision-making is one in which the disciplines of game theory, political science, and economics all meet. One of the simplest decisions to be faced is the election of one candidate from several. Various voting systems have been proposed for such elections. In order to compare these systems in terms of their tendency to elect a candidate representative of the voters’ preferences, a measure of “effectiveness” has been developed. The study of the effectiveness of voting systems is continued in this paper. In particular, two families of voting systems are found to contain three- and four-candidate systems …


Bidding In Auctions With Multiplicative Lognormal Errors: An Example, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans Sep 1978

Bidding In Auctions With Multiplicative Lognormal Errors: An Example, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Auction models with lognormally-distributed multiplicative errors are used extensively in models of mineral lease sales. Equilibrium strategies are typically difficult to calculate; multiplicative strategies are often used as approximations. An example based on a federal offshore oil lease sale shows that multiplicative strategies may be quite far from being in equilibrium. However, under a special form of repetition, such strategies converge very rapidly to an equilibrium. The effects of any fixed costs, the reservation price, the number of bidders and the variance of the error are examined briefly for this example.


Auctions And Bidding Models: A Survey, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans Sep 1978

Auctions And Bidding Models: A Survey, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Auctions and bidding models are attracting an ever increasing amount of attention. The Stark and Rothkopf (1977) bibliography includes approximately 500 papers on the subject; additional work has been reported since the bibliography was compiled. This paper presents a general framework for classifying and describing various auctions and bidding models, and surveys the major results of the literature in terms of this framework.

An Integrated Model Of Household Flow-Of-Funds Allocations, David Backus, Douglas D. Purvis Aug 1978

An Integrated Model Of Household Flow-Of-Funds Allocations, David Backus, Douglas D. Purvis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper extends the multivariate stock-adjustment model commonly used in empirical studies of portfolio behavior in order to analyze the complete set of flow allocation decisions made by households (including consumption, expenditures on durables and houses, and various financial aggregates). The model is then confronted with quarterly household sector data from the United States Flow of Funds Accounts for the period 1954 to 1975. Besides presenting OLS estimates, we test parameter restrictions suggested by our theoretical structure; the data supports the view that the explanatory power of the model is enhanced by allowing non-zero cross-effects on interest rates and lagged …

A Study Of The Clinical Features Of Renal Papillary Necrosis, Jose Martinez May 1978

A Study Of The Clinical Features Of Renal Papillary Necrosis, Jose Martinez

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Renal papillary necrosis is a disease entity that has been recognized since 1878. Today, one hundred years later, a considerable amount of knowledge has been gathered about its possible etiologies, associated conditions, pathological pic ture, clinical manifestations, radiological features and mode of treatment. Very little is known, however, about prognosis of this disease. The literature is deficient of prognostic studies that may help the clinician predict the course of patients with renal papillary necrosis. This study is aimed to provide some answers to questions in the area of natural history and clinical features of this disease.


Effects Of Cromolyn On Inflammatory Bowel Disease Of Childhood, Yvette Piovanetti May 1978

Effects Of Cromolyn On Inflammatory Bowel Disease Of Childhood, Yvette Piovanetti

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Methods and Materials: Twelve children with CIBD (7 with CUC and 5 with Crohn's) entered a trial with Cromolyn Sodium. The patient groups consisted mostly of those who had been treated with steroids over a 1-year period without suppression of disease activity, and in whom steroids could not be tapered without exacerbation. On commencement of Cromolyn therapy, steroid dosages ranged from 5-60 mg. q.d. (mean dose 30 mg. q.d.). Multiple complications of steroid therapy were observed in this group. Linear growth retardation was exhibited by 5 patients, 2 with Crohn's and 3 with CUC. One of the patients with CUC …
