Logrolling And Budget Allocation Games, Martin Shubik, Ludo Van Der Heyden Feb 1977

Logrolling And Budget Allocation Games, Martin Shubik, Ludo Van Der Heyden

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In this paper we approach the concept of logrolling by examining a voting system where choices are made among sets of competing projects as a game in characteristic function form. We translate the question: “Will there be prices for votes on different projects which clear the market?” into a different, but equivalent question: “Is the formal game we have described a market game?” We show that in general the answer is no, unless all voters have virtually the same preferences.

Wages, The Terms Of Trade, And The Exchange Rate Regime, Douglas D. Purvis Nov 1976

Wages, The Terms Of Trade, And The Exchange Rate Regime, Douglas D. Purvis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper analyzes a two-commodity short-run macroeconomic model under fixed and flexible exchange rates. Goods are disaggregated into imports and exports. Both are consumed domestically, but only the latter is produced at home. While imports are available in international markets at a fixed price, relative size matters in that the country’s specialized export good faces a less than infinitely elastic foreign demand. The seemingly natural disaggregation used here yields a model that is better suited than traditional models for the analysis of such problems as imported inflation and for flexible exchange rates. Also, the terms of trade is explicit and …

Price Information And The Economics Of Consumerism: A Model Of Stochastic Equilibrium, John Sutton Oct 1976

Price Information And The Economics Of Consumerism: A Model Of Stochastic Equilibrium, John Sutton

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A model of a quasi-competitive industry is constructed, in which the firm’s sales are described by a random variable whose expected rate of change depends on price. It is shown that a stationary (non-degenerate) distribution of prices results, so that price differences persist over time. It is further shown that, as consumers become more aware of, and responsive to, price differences between firms, the average price set by the (profit maximizing) firms tends to decrease, implying a reduction in the degree of monopoly in the industry.
