Bank Specific Determinants Of Profitability In Turkish Banks, Ahmet Karakuza
Master's Theses
This paper examines the profitability of Turkish commercial banks during the period 2005 – 2014.

The Long-Run Supply Curve: Some Factors Affecting Its Shape, Eugene Darrel Pauley
Fort Hays Studies Series
Since so much importance is attached to the price mechanism in the economic system, it is only natural that a large body of economic theory is concerned primarily with explaining how prices are determined. This writer is concerned with only one rather small phase of this body of theory--some of the influences affecting long-run supply. We are interested here in the behavior of the seller or supplier of a commodity.

The Kansas Court Of Industrial Relations, Jack W. Rodgers
The Kansas Court Of Industrial Relations, Jack W. Rodgers
Master's Theses
The Kansas Industrial Court Act has the distinction of being the only one of its kind ever passed. The things it attempted to do had never been done before in just the same way, nor have they ever since been imitated.

They pointed to various acts passed in the latter part of the 19th. century, and the early part of the 20th, in such places as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and even in parts of the United States as being forerunners of the Kansas …

The Trend Of Farm Population And Land Ownership In Smith County, Kansas, From 1900 And 1940, Charles Casper Easterly
Master's Theses
All through their history the American people have lived and developed in the presence of abundant land. If a farm failed to produce profitably the occupants would merely move to the frontier and take up new land. In the few years prior to nineteen hundred the frontier, as a large determining factor in the life of our people, ceased to exist. Many farm problems arose. The spread of the machine process has raised many problems which we have to puzzle over. Power farm machinery has made it possible for one man to do the work which formerly required the services …
