Nigeria And Opec: To Be Or Not To Be?, G. O. Nwankwo

Economic and Financial Review

According to the Economist, 'Oil multiplied Nigeria's exports by a factor of 10 in the 1970s, and its imports by a factor of 11. This fuelled Nigeria's honourable ambitions to emerge as the greatest power in Africa. The country's rulers are bitterly disappointed by the way the oil glut has partially devalued this great natural resource. So are some exporters to it. '1 In the wake of this unhappy state of affairs, Nigeria has taken steps to redress the situation. Some people, however, argue that the most effective action Nigeria should take is to lower the price of her oil …

A Bookmaker Or Market Type Test For Specification In Discrete Choice Models, John J. Beggs

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper suggests that the predicted probabilities of outcomes given by an estimated discrete choice model by thought of as prices (or bookmaker odds) associated with those outcomes. By buying or selling contracts (gambling) at those prices (odds) it should not be possible to, on average, make a profit if the model is well specified and is generating “correct” prices. This notion then forms the basis of a model specification test.

Is Pakistan An Undertaxed Country? A Comment, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

Mr. Sultan Ahmed has contributed two articles, "Rising Income, Falling Savings and the Social Imbalance",- and "Is Pakistan an Undertaxed Country?" in the recent issues of Dawn (April 22 and April 29, 1982). While such debate on economic issues like these is most welcome and healthy, it should be based on sound conceptual and analytical underpinnings. Inter-Dapretation of economic facts and concepts in a non-professional manner has the danger of giving rise to not only incorrect policy conclusions but also marring the efficacy of such debates.

Economic Impacts Of Water Conservation Measures In Agriculture And Energy Within The Upper Colorado River Basin, Douglas R. Franklin

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The demand for water is increasing in the western United States. Coupled with growing emphasis on development of the western resources, the limited supply of water will create an expanding competitive market for water by agricultural, energy, industrial and municipal users.

The Upper Colorado River Basin is faced with a question of what water conservation measures in the agricultural and energy sectors can be instigated without reducing agricultural output. If the decision is made to adopt water conservation technology measures, this study addresses the impacts in the private and public investment sectors under alternative public policies, i.e., regulation or non-regulation …

Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem

Faculty Books

While both papers in this issue were written on different occasions, both discuss factors relating to the standard of living of the Egyptian pop­ulation, namely, income and consumption. They, therefore are sufficiently related to comprise a single monograph. The income distribution paper shows that a large proportion of the pop­ulation falls in the relatively low income brackets. The second paper, a subject of intensive public debate at present, shows how important food sub­sidy is in keeping down the cost of living of the low-income urban popula­tion. For example, it has been found that almost one-third of the urban population devote …
