A Necessary And Sufficient Condition For The Nonemptiness Of The Cores Of Partitioning Games, Mamoru Kaneko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Let N be a finite set of players and let ρ be a class of coalitions of N. We consider games with and without sidepayments such that only the coalitions in pi play essential roles but not the others. For an arbitrary ρ, we get the class of all such games. The purpose of this note is to provide a necessary and sufficient condition with respect to pi for the nonemptiness of the cores of all games in the class.

Spencer's Tragedy, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.

Economics Faculty Publications

At Dinner with Huxley, Spencer mentioned that he had once written a tragedy. Huxley immediately replied that he knew what the plot must be: a beautiful theory gets murdered by a nasty fact. Spencer himself delighted in retelling Huxley’s barb, displaying thereby both his good humor and self-awareness. What he was probably not aware of was that he actually did write a tragedy with Huxley’s plot. In The Principles of Ethics the beautiful theory is that an individual’s conduct is to be judged by how well it furthers the individual’s survival. The nasty fact is that much conduct that furthers …

F. A. Hayek On Constructivism And Ethics, Arthur M. Diamond Jr.

Economics Faculty Publications

Long before receiving his Nobel Prize, Friedrich von Hayek was well respected in the academic community. John Maynard Keynes had glowing praise for Hayek's 1944 The Road to Serfdom. Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson, antagonists on many issues, agree that Hayek's 1945 "The Use of Knowledge in Society" was a major contribution to political-economic thought. These early works by Hayek led a writer for the Nation to express what must have been the view of a great many, that "because [Hayek] is among the most thoughtful and consistent supporters of a market economy. . . those who disagree with him …

The Central Assignment Game And The Assignment Markets, Mamoru Kaneko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Initially we prove the nonemptiness of the core of an n-person game without side payments called a central assignment game. Next, we provide a market model with indivisible goods but without the transferable utility assumption. Applying the first result to the market model, we prove the nonemptiness of the core and the existence of a competitive equilibrium. Finally, we provide a generalization of the market model and also show the nonemptiness of the core and the existence of a competitive equilibrium using the results in the previous model.

Thinking About Carbon Dioxide: Theoretical And Empirical Aspects Of Optimal Control Strategies, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The scientific and policy discussion about the CO2 problem can be divided into three different parts: (a) understanding the carbon cycle and climatic effects of CO2 elevation; (b) understanding the economic and social impacts of CO2 and estimating abatement strategies; and (c) weighing the costs and benefits in (a) and (b) to set appropriate policies. Up to now, almost all scientific work has gone into (a); a handful of papers discusses (b); but there have been no attempts to pursue (c), that is to weigh scientific and economic evidence so as to give guidance on national or global policies. The …

Major Tax Reductions And Public Education, Philip Favero

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The following discussion of tax reductions uses as an example South Dakota’s own version of Proposition 13, the Dakota Proposition. In the discussion which follows, four major themes are developed. First, Dakota Proposition would have a very major consequence for public finance in South Dakota-beginning in 1982 and extending indefinitely thereafter. Second, Dakota Proposition and other major tax reduction proposals have a variety of origins---some particular to the relevant state, and some more general origins as well. Third, common misunderstanding and, indeed, ignorance exists about the benefits provided by public education and about taxation to support education. And finally, Dakota …

Distribution, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Formulae that are given in the literature for the characteristic function of the F distribution are incorrect and imply that the distribution has finite moments of all orders. Correct formulae are derived and the asymptotic behavior of the characteristic function in the neighborhood of the origin is characterized.

Best Uniform Approximation To Probability Densities In Econometrics, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A new method of approximating the probability density function (pdf’s) of econometric estimators and test statistics is developed. It is shown that best uniform approximants to a general class of pdf’s exist in the form of rational functions. A procedure for extracting approximants is devised and is based on modifying multiple-point Pade approximants to the distribution. The new approximation technique is very general and should be widely applicable in mathematical statistics and econometrics. It has the advantage, unlike the Edgeworth and saddlepoint approximations, of readily incorporating extraneous information on the distribution, even qualitative information. The new procedure is applied to …
