Government Programs, Job Search Requirements, And The Duration Of Unemployment, Michael C. Keeley, Philip K. Robins

Economics Articles and Papers

This paper presents an empirical analysis of how job search requirements under various government programs influence job search behavior. The analysis indicates that job search requirements exert a significant impact on certain aspects of the job search process, but not those that generally lead to a higher probability of employment. It is also found that persons who utilize intensively search activities that result in direct employer contact have much shorter durations of unemployment than persons who do not utilize such activities intensively. It is speculated that altering job search requirements to include more direct employer contact could lead to a …

On The Performance Of Least Squares In Linear Regression With Undefined Error Means, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers the linear regression model with multiple stochastic regressors, intercept, and errors that have undefined means. This model is of interest from a robustness perspective as a polar case. Generally, least squares estimators are inconsistent in this context. It is shown, however, that this inconsistency is restricted to the estimation of the intercept, if the regressors are highly variable. Rates of convergence of the least squares slope estimators are determined, and are shown to exceed the standard rate, n -1/2 , in certain contexts. The results place no restrictions on the temporal dependence of the errors, and require …

Small Farmers' Cooperatives In Brazil, 1964-1984 Reasons For Success Or Failure, Henry H. Gerber

Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations

This study is concerned with cooperative business enterprises of small farmers. The topic has been chosen because peasants' association in supply and marketing cooperatives is considered an essential element in rural development. The author's field experience leads him to agree in principle with this assumption. But, as exemplified by Brazil, a variety of factors (ecological, sociohistorical, legal, economic and so forth) may hinder or help the inception and survival of cooperatives.

Thus, if a government aims at integrating the small producer into the national economy as supplier and consumer (as in Brazil), measures to implement t~is policy must not be …

Enough Gold In A Society Without And With Money-Lenders, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

If an exchange economy is modeled as a strategic market game with one commodity serving as a money, then if there is no credit available and if all traders are insignificant in size, so that an individual does not influence prices, the noncooperative equilibria (NEs) of the game will coincide with the competitive equilibria of the exchange economy provided that there is enough money to facilitate trade. The meaning of ‘enough money’ is that the NEs are interior. In other words the constraint that an individual cannot spend more of the means of payment than he holds is not binding …

A Characterization Of Globally Optimal Paths In The Non-Classical Growth Model, Rabah Amir

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We show that the monotonicity property of optimal paths (or, equivalently, the uniform boundedness of the marginal propensity of consumption by unity) is a necessary condition for local (as well as for global) optimality, and is also sufficient for local optimality, but not for global optimality. We also show that the well-known properties of the value function — continuity and monotonicity — are sufficient (along with the above conditions) to guarantee global optimality. In other words, if at any stock level, a local non-global maximizer is selected, a discontinuity in the value function will be observed. We suggest that the …

Edgeworth Equilibria, Charalambos D. Aliprantis, Donald J. Brown, Owen Burkinshaw

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The paper studies pure exchange economies with infinite dimensional commodity spaces in the setting of Riesz dual systems. Several new concepts of equilibrium are introduced. An allocation ( x 1 , …, x m ) is said to be a) an Edgeworth equilibrium whenever it belongs to the core of every n -fold replication of the economy; and b) an ε- Walrasian equilibrium whenever for each ε > 0 there exists some price p not equal to 0 with p ∙ω = 1 (where ω = Σω i is the total endowment) and with x ≥ i x i implying p …

Understanding Spurious Regressions In Econometrics, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper provides an analytical study of spurious regressions involving the levels of economic time series. As asymptotic theory is developed for regressions that relate independent random walks. It is shown that the usual t ratio significance tests do not possess limiting distributions but actually diverge as the sample size T approaches infinity. The Durbin-Watson statistic, on the other hand, converges in probability to zero. An alternative asymptotic theory is also analyzed. An alternative asymptotic theory is developed based on the concept of continuous data recording. This theory together with the large sample asymptotics that we present go a long …

The report appears to be part of the same analytical series supporting PNM’s socioeconomic modeling and regional evaluation efforts. While the full text is still being processed, the document likely extends or supplements the 1966–1984 historical evaluation by providing updated methodological notes, additional socioeconomic indicators, or revised estimates prepared for PNM or other state‑level planning entities.

Training New Employees In Ecuador's Esmeraldas Oil Refinery, Rodrigo Alfredo Morales

Theses

This thesis comprises an overall review of general methods of training used by two New Jersey oil refineries of similar circumstances to Ecuador's Esmeraldas oil refinery.

The method of research was a survey in the form of a questionnaire. It was sent to the five existing oil refineries across New Jersey. Statewide telephone conversations, and with Ecuadorian personnel executives were made to request pertinent information. Research from current journals, training books, and first hand data from refineries, support the recommendations and the study in general.

The results of the thesis include recommendations as to the most advantageous policies and training …

Cross-Cultural Study Of Maslow's Need Theory Of Motivation, Jitendra N. Mishra

Theses

Abraham H. Maslow's Need Theory of Motivation was subjected to a cross-cultural scrutiny to see if his theory has universal application. It was thus also intended, to make a contribution to his theory since today, global interdependence is no longer a matter of belief, preference or choice. Rather, it is an inescapable reality.

To achieve this goal, an extensive Literature Survey was undertaken. It was found that his theory is more consistent with American value system. Nevertheless, if care is exercised, his theory can be useful in International context too, with some necessary modifications.

This paper is directed to save …

A Study Of The Human Resources Principles Applied To Telemarketing Programs, Marian Elizabeth Jones

Theses

The objective was to study organizations which have established telemarketing programs to understand the impact of distinct human resources principles used to establish and maintain the sales unit. A questionnaire was developed to determine whether telemarketing programs, which are specifically designed to recruit, select and train inside sales forces, differ from the programs used to do the same with outside sales forces. Furthermore, the sample population was asked whether telemarketing programs contribute to the overall success of the telemarketing force by catering to the special needs of inside sales people. This questionnaire was sent to a sampling of companies who …
