The Presidential Business Cycle In The U.S.: A Theoretical And Empirical Examination, Ranjit S. Dighe
The Presidential Business Cycle In The U.S.: A Theoretical And Empirical Examination, Ranjit S. Dighe
Honors Papers
The idea of a politically-motivated business cycle is basically a conspiracy theory: "office-motivated" politicians, seeking to exploit the well-documented relationship between favorable economic news and votes for the incumbent president and his party, manipulate the timing of business cycles for their own electoral gain. This manipulation, theorists maintain, is effected through the use of any of several policy instruments including discretionary federal spending, government transfer payments, and the average tax rate, as well as pressure on the central bank to pursue a more accommodating monetary policy.
Theories of such a cycle seem to fall in and out of favor with …
Growth And Debt: Mexico And The United States In The Medium Term, Sven W. Arndt, Donald R. Lessard, Clark W. Reynolds
Growth And Debt: Mexico And The United States In The Medium Term, Sven W. Arndt, Donald R. Lessard, Clark W. Reynolds
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
Mexico and the United States are at an historic crossroad. Earthquake, oil prices, and domestic inflation have dramatically worsened Mexico's economic situation in the past year, more than offsetting the beneficial effects of lower international interest rates. Trade, financial, and employment relations between the two countries are threatened at the very time when their economic and social interdependence is growing. While temporary relief has been gained from recent agreements with the IMF, World Bank, and other international institutions, condition on commercial bank acceptance, even if all the terms are met much remains to be done.

Analysis Of Conditional Vs. Unconditional Most Favored Nation Status, Sven W. Arndt

As dissatisfaction with the international trading system grows in the United States, the question arises as to how U.S. policy makers might best pursue improvements in the conditions of international trade and related trade policy goals.
Public Insurance, Private Insurance, And The Demand For Hospital Care: Implications For Medicare And Private Contracts, Martin Zelder
Public Insurance, Private Insurance, And The Demand For Hospital Care: Implications For Medicare And Private Contracts, Martin Zelder
Honors Papers
The findings of this paper can briefly be summarized. Demand, as measured by hospital admissions rate, is inelastic. Demand, as measured by mean length of stay, is elastic. A given amount of public hospital insurance has a small, but significantly larger effect on demand, by either measure, than an equal amount of private hospital insurance. These estimates can then be applied to several topics. One such topic is the effect of the Reagan Administration's plan to alter the Medicare benefit payment system. A second application measures the welfare loss (Martin Feldstein's phrase) of "excess" hospital insurance coverage, and the gains …

New Perspectives On The Materials Interface With The Three E'S -- Energy, Environment And Economics, Donald S. Remer
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
New perspectives are presented on the material interface with the three E's -- Energy, Environment, and Economics. The past, present, and future energy picture is described from 1850 through the year 2030. The major energy sources such as oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, and several new emerging energy options are compared and contrasted. The lead time, capital, and materials required for bringing on-stream new energy sources is described. Previous U.S. energy forecasts are reviewed and are found to be too optimistic. The U.S. materials situation is outlined with an emphasis on per capita materials use and the critical role that …
Further Investigation Into The Role Of Education In The Demand For Health Care, Mohammad Al-Hadi Al-Bakir Al-Barazi
Further Investigation Into The Role Of Education In The Demand For Health Care, Mohammad Al-Hadi Al-Bakir Al-Barazi
Graduate Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation intends to examine the inconsistency prevailing in the health economics literature between theoretical predictions and empirical findings concerning the role of education in the determination of health care services. Starting from the premise that the household’s stock of health capital is a nondurable commodity which depreciates over time; that it can be augmented by investment; that the household production function for gross investment in health capital stock is homogeneous of degree one in both inputs of health care services and health care time; that a ‘factor-neutral’ education enters the production function of the household as an environmental variable …

The Effect Of Right-To-Work Laws On Unionization In The United States, H. Craig Petersen, Keith Lumsden
The Effect Of Right-To-Work Laws On Unionization In The United States, H. Craig Petersen, Keith Lumsden
Economics and Finance Faculty Publications
State right-to-work laws, the subject of considerable controversy in the industrial relations field, typically state that no person will be required to become a union member or, conversely, be required to abstain from union membership as a condition of obtaining or retaining employment. Little hard evidence exists on the effect of right-to-work laws. Meyers (1955) concludes that in Texas the law does not appear to have had a noticeable impact on union strength. Kuhlman (1955) finds that the Virginia law has caused little change in hiring practices, and he cites lack of enforcement as a major cause. Novit (1969), in …
Environmental Problem: An Economic Viewpoint And Humanistic Solution, Michael Robert Currie
Environmental Problem: An Economic Viewpoint And Humanistic Solution, Michael Robert Currie
Senior Scholar Papers
Economics deals with wealth, which is essential in allowing people to maintain their activities. Wealth is produced by human effort, guided by science, mediated by technology, governed by the economic system, and exerted through the environment . That a problem exists in our environment is clear from the observable stress on our natural ecosystems. Our water has been fouled, Lake Erie is dead, our air has been sufficiently poisoned in many urban areas to be classified as dangerous to health, and in general there exists the threat that the natural systems which support our lives may collapse. Although certain statistics, …
The Supply Of Public School Teachers In The United States: A Study In Human Capital Theory, Andrew W. Bacdayan
The Supply Of Public School Teachers In The United States: A Study In Human Capital Theory, Andrew W. Bacdayan
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study uses the principles of human capital theory to develop and test a theory of a supply of a class of educated manpower services with special reference to school teachers.
In the theory formulation, the determinants of the existing stock of teacher education capital are first identified. These are: (a) the price per man-year of teaching service, WTS, (b) the rate of interest, r, (c) the price of the human capital already embodied in the individual working for a college degree in teacher education, WCS, and (d) private costs of education such as foregone earnings and tuition fees, FERTN. …

Impact Of Technology On Labor, Allan Jeong Wong
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It is not the intent of this paper to contribute to the body of technological knowledge nor even to report on it at length, but to investigate in one area the important economic and social effect caused by technological progress. It is the intent of this study to answer or at least throw some light on the problem of the technological impact on labor.
Application Of Location Theory And Empirical Data By Area Industrial Development Groups, Clarence Arthur Middleton Jr.
Application Of Location Theory And Empirical Data By Area Industrial Development Groups, Clarence Arthur Middleton Jr.
Master's Theses
The objective of this paper is to determine if theories of industrial location and empirical data describing changes in manufacturing employment might suggest efficient approaches in attracting industry to a particular area. This is in sharp contrast to the usual application of location theory in which the optimum location of a firm or of a particular industry is selected.
Current Proposals For Changes In Reserve Requirements Of Commercial Banks In The United States, William Byrd Harrison
Current Proposals For Changes In Reserve Requirements Of Commercial Banks In The United States, William Byrd Harrison
Master's Theses
The well-being of a nation is dependent in large part upon the state of its money. Bank reserve positions have a great deal to do with the state of our money. An impressive volume of study and evidence has been brought forth in just the past few years to indicate that United States laws which establish the rules under which financial institutions operate need revising. Other, more readily understood topics, however, however claimed the attention of the public and its representatives in Congress. Little has been done to remedy serious shortcomings in banking laws.
This paper examines briefly these studies …
The Effects Of Japanese Printing On The Wage Structure Of American Printers With Special Reference To That Of The Pacific Coast, David Sum Young
The Effects Of Japanese Printing On The Wage Structure Of American Printers With Special Reference To That Of The Pacific Coast, David Sum Young
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The Japanese industries have proven to be strong competitors to various American industries. This has been especially true in the electronic and household product industries, where the quality of the merchandise has improved so greatly that it often equals or betters its American counterpart. A significant part of these improvements can be attributed to the use of American technology and American capital invested by Japan. The threat of foreign competition cannot be limited to a small area, as it can prevail in any area where the cost of labor is relatively high in relation to the finished product. Because of …

First of all, no attempt is made at claiming any distinction for originality, as the information contained herein is gathered from books, magazines, newspapers, conversations with experienced business men and labor men, and some from personal observation.
The present unemployment situation causes many people to question our government's policy of leaving our "gates" open to Mexican immigration. Many are the figures that we hear quoted in an effort to bolster personal views on this problem. Dr. Manual Gamio urges a limitation placed on Mexican …

Intervention Of The United States In Nicaragua Since 1909, Louise Floyd
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The twentieth century is revealing a steady increase in the influence of the United States in the Caribbean region, both in politics and economic development. The arm of America has been gradually forcing out the European nations. Counting colonies and protectorates, the United States has under its supervision a greater Caribbean population than the population of the thirteen colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence. In trade the United States is the best customer of Central America and the West Indies. The region is one of the chief sources of our raw-materials imports.
The majority of the citizens …
