Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus Sep 1989

Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Although the theory of decision making under uncertainty has been extensively studied for a half century, applications to business applications are relatively rare.

The study finds that government-spending risks outweigh all other external stock market, interest rates, inflation, and wage trends. The paper …

Australianising Social Welfare Education: The Development Of A Major Sequence 'Australian Cultural Studies' In A New B.Soc.Sci. (Community Service), Peter J. Camilleri, Rosemary Kennedy, Rod Oxenberry

Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Much of social welfare education in Australia is built upon the tried and tested knowledge bases developed within American and British approaches to social work and welfare provision.
