Approximate Equilibria With Bounds Independent Of Preferences, Robert M. Anderson, M. Ali Khan, Salim Rashid

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We prove the existence of approximate equilibria in exchange economies, giving bounds on the excess demand in terms of the number of traders and norms of the endowments, but independent of the preferences.

This paper reflects observations and experiences arising from the author's living and working as a specialist in agricultural development in Asia during 1965-1980.

Bank Structure And Mortgage Rates: Implications For Interstate Banking, Michael L. Marlow

Economics

Competition in financial markets has been the subject of many studies in the area of market structure and performance. This paper analyzes the differences in mortgage rates between unit banking and branch banking states to consider the likely outcome of interstate banking on competition. A model of interest rate determination is developed which suggests that, at least in the mortgage market, interstate banking will, ceteris paribus, decrease competition if it lowers the number of competing firms and increases deposit concentration levels. Support is provided for the argument that only those states under statewide branching laws may receive more competitive …

Efficient Stationary Taxation And Intertemporal General Equilibrium, Christophe Chamley, Douglas Downing

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We present a method to analyze the welfare cost of price distortions created by taxes on the incomes of capital and labor and on consumption in an intertemporal model of general equilibrium. This efficiency cost depends in an important way on the production technology. It is not very sensitive to the ratio between the tax rates on capital and labor respectively, when the elasticity of substitution between these factors is small. Our method allows us to determine under the assumptions of the model, the optimal combination of taxes on capital and labor income respectively. The consumption tax is more efficient …

Bidding Game Valuations Of Congestion Costs In Winter Sports Areas, Philip B. Halverson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the last three decades, there has been a significant growth in the outdoor recreation industry. In 1969, there were 17.6 million visits to national parks, and by 1978, that number had increased to 283.1 million (Gregory, 1972; U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 1979). Similarly, visits to national forests grew from 5 million in 1925 to over 147 million in 1965 (Clawson and Knetsch, 1966).

An Analysis Of The Production And Marketing Of Pineapples From The Soesdyke/Linden Land Development Project In Guyana, Cyril Kenrick Hunte

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the production and marketing behavior of pineapple farmers in the Soesdyke/Linden Land Development Project in Guyana. A random sample was drawn from eight locations in the project and 51 personal interviews were conducted with pineapple farmers. Emphasis was placed on ascertaining the current levels and use of basic inputs in the production process as well as determining the profitability of pineapple production. The nature an extent of the infra-structure provided by government to the project were also examined. Attention was given to the work done on providing roads and transportation as well …

Optimal Exploitation Of Petroleum Resources Using The Average Reservoir Data For The Walton Canyon Reservoir In Summit County, Utah, Behrouz Helmi-Oskoui

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The main concern of this study is to obtain an optimal time path of crude oil and natural gas production by controlling the pressure at the bottom of any producing well in Walton Canyon Reservoir. To achieve this goal, the following objectives were obtained: (a) an estimation of the reservoir properties at different levels of the reservoir pressure; (b) an estimation of an optimal time path of joint production using the estimated reservoir properties and the expected prices and costs in the absence and presence of severance, state, and federal income taxes, and depletion of allowances; and (c) an analysis …

Interest Rate Policies And Informational Efficiency, Laurence Weiss

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Monetary policy may be implemented either by controlling the nominal money supply or by fixing the nominal interest rates. This paper investigates the effects on available information of both kinds of policies in the equilibrium rational expectations model presented in Grossman-Weiss (1980). A necessary and sufficient condition for informational efficiency is that agents have homogenous expectations about the real interest rate. Interest rate policies can be first best in the sense of yielding higher quality information than any feasible money growth feedback policies. Unlike desirable money growth rules, interest rate policies do not require more information on behalf of the …

Strong Core Theorems With Nonconvex Preferences, Robert M. Anderson

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is known that in large economies with strongly convex preferences, the commodity bundles agents receive at core allocations are near their demand sets. Without convexity, it is know that agents need not be near their demand sets, although they will satisfy a weaker condition. In this paper, we show that, for “most” economies (in the sense of probability and in the sense of the Baire category theorem), the stronger form of approximation holds without convexity.

Water Availability In The New Mexico_Apr 23-24 1981, Brian Mcdonald, John Tysseling

The report reviews the principal legal and institutional factors affecting water management in the basin, including the 1906 Treaty with Mexico, the 1939 Rio Grande Compact, and the 1956 declaration of the Rio Grande Underground Water Basin by the New Mexico State Engineer. Together, these measures limited both surface-water and groundwater development within the basin and constrained the amount of water available to future users.

The Banker's Briar Patch: The American Banker's Association And The Glass-Owen Bill Of 1913, Robert Drake Scull

History Theses & Dissertations

In order to compete with the British in international finance, leading bankers in the United States began to agitate for a central bank and "elastic" currency at least as early as 1905. Although the Panic of 1907 helped stir interest in banking reform, the political climate was so prejudiced against the banking profession that it became necessary for ABA spokesmen to condemn publicly the proposed legislation in order to insure that it would be passed. Privately, these same bankers worked closely with Woodrow Wilson and helped elect him president in 1912. Wilson returned the favor with the Federal Reserve Act …
