The Exact Distribution Of The Stein-Rule Estimator, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper derives the exact density of the Stein-rule estimator in the setting of the general linear regression. The derivation is facilitated by the author’s development of new algebraic methods that involve an extension of the Weyl calculus. General formulae for the moments of the estimator are also provided.

Finite Sample Econometrics Using Era's, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The paper considers approximate distribution theory as a way to deliver practical improvements over asymptotic methods. Trials of the adequacy of asymptotic series based approximations are conducted and the results exhibit the need for further improvements. An alternative approach is suggested which utilizes a family of extended rational approximants (ERA’s). ERA’s build on the strength of primitive exact theory or asymptotic series; they allow us to blend information from diverse analytic numerical and experimental sources. The ultimate objective of the approach is to incorporate directly into software constructive functional approximants relevant to statistical practice. An illustration is provided.

Reaganomics And The Welfare State, Mimi Abramovitz, Tom Hopkins

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Supply-side tax and spending policies have intensified poverty, unemployment and inequality, especially for women, minorities and organized labor. At the same time Reaganomics is shrinking and weakening the welfare state. To better understand and resist this conservative assault it is necessary to demystify the "economics" and "politics" of supply-side doctrine. This paper (a) defines the basic assumptions of supply-side economics; (b) identifies some of its problems and contradictions; (c) discusses its impact on the welfare state; and (d) analyzes it as part of a broader plan for coping with the current economic crisis. It argues that the supply-side tax cut …

Entry And Performance In Financial Markets, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

One determinant of market performance is the ability of new firms to enter markets. It is generally argued that the fewer the restrictions on entry, ceteris paribus, the more competitive a market will tend to be. Entry in the commercial banking market is restricted on at least two levels. One is that new entrants are required to obtain charters from either the Comptoller of the Currency or the state banking authority. The other is that the ability of a bank to branch is constrained by the branching laws of the state. Before one may recommend solutions to problems of …

The Consumer Movement In The United States, Kathleen Browne Ittig

Bridgewater Review

What ever happened to the consumer movement in the United States? In stark contrast to the high visibility and widespread support enjoyed by the consumer movement during the last two decades, overt concern for consumer protection seems to have disappeared since the election of President Ronald Reagan. To answer this question it is necessary first to identify the market conditions that currently dominate the U. S. economy and second to review the history of the consumer movement as it has evolved in this country during the last eighty years.
