Ascending Auctions, Peter Cramton
Ascending Auctions, Peter Cramton
Peter Cramton
A key question of auction design is whether to use an ascending-bid or a sealed-bid format. The critical distinction between formats is that an ascending auction provides the bidders with information through the process of bidding. This information is a two-edged sword. It may stimulate competition by creating a reliable process of price discovery, by reducing the winner’s curse, and by allowing efficient aggregations of items. Alternatively, the information may be used by bidders to establish and enforce collusive outcomes. Ex ante asymmetries and weak competition favor a sealed-bid design. In other cases, an ascending auction is likely to perform …

Open-Access Renewable Resources: Trade And Trade Policy In A Two-Country Model, M. Scott Taylor, James A. Brander
Open-Access Renewable Resources: Trade And Trade Policy In A Two-Country Model, M. Scott Taylor, James A. Brander
M. Scott Taylor
We develop a theory of resource management where the degree to which countries escape the tragedy of the commons is endogenously determined and explicitly linked to changes in world prices and other possible effects of market integration. We show how changes in world prices can move some countries from de facto open access situations to ones where management replicates that of an unconstrained social planner. Not all countries can follow this path of institutional reform and we identify key country characteristics (mortality rates, resource growth rates, technology) that divide world's set of resource rich countries into three categories. Category I …

An Unfit Standard-Bearer:An Unfit Standard-Bearer: Bill Clinton And The Social Order Expectations Of The Religious Right, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Douglas J. Swanson, Ed.D APR
This paper deals with the rift between the social order of the so-called Religious Right and the perceived social order established and held by President Bill Clinton as he entered his first term in office. The author, applying Duncan's "social order model," suggests Clinton's age, family history, educational background, work experience, domestic life, social circle, and leadership role--in sum, his symbolization of the presidency, presented to the public through the media--represented an unacceptable and irreconcilable affront to "traditional" Christian expectations for the office.

Global Shift In Container Traffic And Its Implications For Economic Development Along The American Land Bridge, Herman L. Boschken
Global Shift In Container Traffic And Its Implications For Economic Development Along The American Land Bridge, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
Since the “container revolution” in the 1970s, seaports on the Pacific Coast have been the engines of economic development, regionally, nationally and globally. But circumstances continue to change that threaten the long-term viability of the intermodal “land bridge” system that emerged from that revolution. These circumstances include railroads not maintaining rail lines critical to transcontinental container traffic and the shift in the locus of global production that raises the question of obsolescence for the existing infrastructure moving trade West to East from the Pacific Rim. The implications are enormous, especially for policy makers at the regional and local levels as …

Mental Health Parity: 1998 National And State Perspectives, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe, Ann C. Taylor
Ardis Hanson
The federal Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 requires insurers to offer the same benefits for mental disorders and substance abuse as they would for physical disorders, including any annual or lifetime limitations and restrictions placed upon such coverage. To date, twenty states across the nation have enacted parity laws for mental health and/or substance abuse benefits. This report summarizes the essential issues facing the state of Florida in the development of state mental health parity legislation, including an examination of the experiences of other states, a look at potential benefits, and a discussion of the impact of managed care …

Lifting The Veil Of Ignorance: Personalizing The Marriage Contract, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, Jeffrey Stake
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Modern state laws only allow marriages in which each party can unilaterally divorce the other. We argue that the law should clearly permit parties to contract for more restrictive forms of marriage.

The Simple Economics Of Easter Island: A Ricardo-Malthus Model Of Renewable Resource Use, M. Scott Taylor, James A. Brander
The Simple Economics Of Easter Island: A Ricardo-Malthus Model Of Renewable Resource Use, M. Scott Taylor, James A. Brander
M. Scott Taylor
We present a simple general equilibrium model of renewable resource and population dynamics that may explain the rise and fall of Easter Island's civilization. The model generates a system similar to the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model. In our formulation man is the predator and the resource base is the prey, leading to the possibility of feast and famine cycles of rising and falling population and resource stocks. Such cycles tend to arise when fertility is high and the resource base grows slowly. We speculate that such cycles may often cause violent conflict and describe other civilizations that may have declined because …
Simultaneous Ascending Auctions With Package Bidding, Peter Cramton, John Mcmillan, Paul Milgrom, Bradley Miller, Bridger Mitchell, Daniel Vincent, Robert Wilson
Simultaneous Ascending Auctions With Package Bidding, Peter Cramton, John Mcmillan, Paul Milgrom, Bradley Miller, Bridger Mitchell, Daniel Vincent, Robert Wilson
Peter Cramton
An effective package bidding mechanism addresses three problems: the exposure problem (the risks a bidder faces in trying to construct an efficiently large combination of licenses), the free-rider problem (the difficulties small bidders have in beating those who bid for larger packages of licenses), and the computational complexity problem (which arises from the fact that the number of possible combinations of licenses is much larger than the number of licenses). Package bidding offers the possibility of an improvement over individual-license bidding only when there are strong complementarities and the pattern of those complementarities varies across bidders. Package bidding works satisfactorily …
Auctioning Securities, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Auctioning Securities, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Peter Cramton
Treasury debt and other divisible securities are traditionally sold in either a pay-your-bid (discriminatory) auction or a uniform-price auction. We compare these auction formats with a Vickrey auction and also with two ascending-bid auctions. The Vickrey auction and the alternative ascending-bid auction (Ausubel 1996) have important theoretical advantages for sellers. In a setting without private information, these auctions achieve the maximal revenue as a unique equilibrium in dominant strategies. In contrast, the pay-your-bid, uniform-price, and standard ascending-bid auction admit a multiplicity of equilibria that yield low revenues for the seller. We show how these results extend to a setting where …

Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson
Internet Infoglut And Invisible Ink: Spamdexing Search Engines With Meta Tags, Ira Nathenson
Ira Steven Nathenson
This Article addresses 'spamdexing,' namely, the practice of stuffing invisible keywords into webpages in order to try to get more favorable listings with search engines. For instance, some website owners will stuff the trademarks of competitors into a webpage’s code, particularly by using 'meta tags,' indexing keywords that can be hidden in a webpage’s source code. Although meta tags are not typically viewed by users, the code can be read by search engines, with the result that webpages may be improperly boosted in search engine rankings. Such practices can confuse the public and have also spurred trademark lawsuits. But the …

Positional Elites In Politics, Economy And Culture In Slovenia During 1988-95, Anton Kramberger
Positional Elites In Politics, Economy And Culture In Slovenia During 1988-95, Anton Kramberger
Anton Kramberger
The paper numerically describes the nature and environment of a peaceful regime and elite change in Slovenia during 1988 - 1995. In 1991 the country (formerly a far west region of the Tito's Yugoslavia) became a new independent state and was soon internationally recognized. The paper starts with brief theoretical expectations. Then it outlines a special initial effort in this kind of research, i.e., the elite sample design: How the elites segments as well as their elite positions in Slovenia were defined in advance for the purposes of a special survey performed among national elite members during 1994/95. Next, it …

La Violencia Y Sus Actores. Una Historia Local., Alexander Montoya Prada
Alexander Montoya Prada
El período de la Violencia (1948-1963) es uno de los más complejos y convulsionados de la historia colombiana. En este trabajo hacemos un análisis local del municipio de Cajamarca (Tolima), uno de los más afectados por los homicidios selectivos y las masacres, que en un principio estuvieron mediados por la confrontación entre liberales y conservadores, pero que después se imbricaron con temas diversos como el ataque a comunidades protestantes, negocios por tierras y ajustes de cuentas personales.
