Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor
Underlying Values And Beliefs "Modern Science" Versus "Sustainable Development", Donald Taylor
Economics Staff Paper Series
This article focuses on personal values and beliefs that critically underlie the "sustainable development" controversy and on the implications of those values and beliefs to personal and professional decision-making. The issues are presented through two contrasting paradigms: a "modern scientific worldview" (MSW) and a "sustainable development worldview" (SDW). MSW is intended to characterize the perspectives of most current-day academics, development practitioners, businessmen, and everyday citizens. SDW characterizes those disenchanted with MSW. Their disenchantment arises from concerns over possible adverse long-term implications of decisions arising from MSW which tend to be dominated by relatively immediate, narrowly based, and self-interested considerations. The …

Differences In Longitudinal Union Relative Wage Effects Across Gender And Race, Dwight Adamnson
Differences In Longitudinal Union Relative Wage Effects Across Gender And Race, Dwight Adamnson
Economics Staff Paper Series
This paper utilizes longitudinal union variables to examine the gender differences in the wage change from entering and leaving the union sector, as well as gender differences from remaining with a union employer and advancing up the seniority ladder. The union effects are estimated over a time trend from the late 19608 to the early 19808. The empirical results show that the female union joiner effect declines over time while the magnitude of the male union effect remains fairly stable over time. In general, the results show that unions' ability to impact wages for all white workers and black female …
Divestiture, By-Pass, Entry, Cross Subsidization: Conflicting Forces In The Deregulation Of The South Dakota Telecommunications Market, Dwight Adamnson, Jack Triweiler
Divestiture, By-Pass, Entry, Cross Subsidization: Conflicting Forces In The Deregulation Of The South Dakota Telecommunications Market, Dwight Adamnson, Jack Triweiler
Economics Staff Paper Series
This study reviews the impact the divestiture of AT&T had on the South Dakota telecommunications market, and explains the technological changes that have occurred and how these changes have been translated into lower costs. The South Dakota telecommunications market is examined under the scenarios: 1) fully regulated; 2) partial regulation; and 3) unregulated market. ARIMA procedures are used to forecast changes in revenues under the two different regulatory schemes. The degree of contestability of the South Dakota Telecommunications market is investigated to determine if competitions is suitable for the unregulated scenario. The study argues that the market is competitive.
Retained Ownership Revisited: The Economic Significance Of Genetic Variability, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Larry Held
Retained Ownership Revisited: The Economic Significance Of Genetic Variability, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Larry Held
Economics Staff Paper Series
Genetic and biological variability of calves placed into different retained ownership programs are examined. The genetic ability to grade choice is a critical factor influencing profitability of retaining calves to a slaughter weight. Weaning weight influences the type of retained ownership program for which a calf will be most profitable.
An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti
An Empirical Analysis Of The Efficiency Of Four Alternative Marketing Methods For Slaughter Cattle, Dillon Feuz, John Wagner, Scott Fausti
Economics Staff Paper Series
Four alternative marketing methods for slaughter cattle were analyzed and empirically examined for pricing efficiency. Profits per head were found to be significantly different under the various marketing methods. Greater price discrimination occurred as carcass information increased. Increased price discrimination led to greater dispersion of profit from one marketing method to another. Different marketing methods appeared to send different production signals to producers. The desires of the consumer for less fat and a high quality product did not appear to be reaching the producers in the form of profit incentives under the most widely used marketing method.

Economic Impact Of Livestock Grazing And Recreation On The Ft. Pierre National Grasslands, Martin Beutler
Economic Impact Of Livestock Grazing And Recreation On The Ft. Pierre National Grasslands, Martin Beutler
Economics Staff Paper Series
As a result of the Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) effort on the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands (FPNG). I was asked to provide an economic analysis of livestock grazing and recreation and demonstrate the importance of each to the Ft. Pierre region. Data used in this analysis consist of actual Animal Unit Months (AUMs) of grazing on the Ft. Pierre National Grasslands as provided by the Central South Dakota Cooperative Grazing District, and information from reports published by the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the S.D. Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. The model used to determine the …
