Projections of electrical energy sales constitutes the foundation for planning in the electric utility industry. Every distributor of electric energy, large or small, wholesaler or retailer, should have sales forecasts available upon which to base its physical and financial planning. Others associated with the industry, such as regulatory agencies and suppliers, also need such forecasts.
The purpose of this paper is to develop an econometric model for forecasting annual industrial kilowatt-hour sales for the State of Indiana. The model is designated so that State agencies, suppliers and individual companies can use the model.

An Analysis Of Factors Influencing Farm Family Residence Location, Larry Keith Bond
An Analysis Of Factors Influencing Farm Family Residence Location, Larry Keith Bond
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Census data reveal that the percentage of farm operators in the United States that live off-farm is increasing. It has been suggested that this may be due largely to a shifting of residence off-farm. An analysis of factors influencing residence of farm families has been done at the national level. In addition, a cross section analysis of county data within states has been attempted. However, a purely local analysis is needed to pick up the variation obscured by aggregate data. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate variables that might be expected to influence residence location, and …

An Economic Analysis Of Feeding Steers Versus Heifers, Duane Sorensen
An Economic Analysis Of Feeding Steers Versus Heifers, Duane Sorensen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The question of which sex of cattle to feed is a basic economic decision which must be made by feeders. An economic analysis of costs and returns associated with feeding steers in comparison to heifers would give feeders some assistance in making this decision.
The objectives of this study were to make an economic analysis of feeding a pen of steers and a pen of heifers in a feedlot, then determine the break- even prices for feeder cattle which would make the feeder indifferent to whether he fed steers or heifers , and finally to develop a decision model that …
The Demand For Money: A Study Of Paradigms, Gray James Santoni
The Demand For Money: A Study Of Paradigms, Gray James Santoni
Economics ETDs
This thesis sets out to establish the origin of the controversy that exists with respect to the channel(s) through which monetary phenomena influence economic activity. As a result of the analysis contained in Chapter One, the origin is fixed in the 1930's and identified with the emergence of two schools of thought: Price theoretic Behaviorism and Nominalism. The behaviorists of this period argued that changes in the quantity of money affect economic activity directly as a result of the portfolio adjustments of individuals. Nominalists, on the other hand, maintained that money has meaning only in tic context of society. The …

Costs And Returns From Milk Production In El Vigia Area In The State Of Merida, Venezuela, 1969, Gustavo Perez
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
An analysis of costs and receipts associated with the production of manufacturing milk in El Vigia area of Venezuela was the focus of this study. A personal interview survey of a sample of dairy farm operators was conducted.
Averages for costs, receipts, and net returns were calculated by size groups. Tabular analysis was used to study relationships between size and other factors and net return.
Net return per cow was positive on the average, but the study indicated a general need for improved levels of production. Size of operation and capital investment were two factors found to be associated with …

Economic Development Of Thailand: An Analysis Of The Agricultural Sector, Thamnoon Soparatana
Economic Development Of Thailand: An Analysis Of The Agricultural Sector, Thamnoon Soparatana
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study takes a look at government aid to agriculture in Thailand and attempts to analyze its effectiveness. Only two crops have been aided directly by the government, rice and rubber, though others have undoubtedly benefitted by improvements in the country's infrastructure. The regressions performed on some simple production functions indicate that rice yields have been improved through government programs. The program for rubber largely a subsidy for new plantings, ha as yet not had much impact on yields. This maybe due to the fact that the pay-off period is at least seven years. There is also some evidence that …

Historical chapters are portrayed chronologically and reveal in sight into the rustic irrigation problems that faced those individuals who developed the Great Feeder Canal. The latter part of the paper entails an economic analysis indicating that the Great Feeder Canal is unique in that it uses nearly twice as much irrigation water per acre as other canals in Southeastern Idaho, yet it tends to maximize net social benefits.
Optimal Allocation Of Irrigation Water: The Sevier River Basin, Harold H. Hiskey
Optimal Allocation Of Irrigation Water: The Sevier River Basin, Harold H. Hiskey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Economic efficiency criteria are used to optimally allocate irrigation water in a closed river basin (Sevier River). The Basin is geographically divided into four subbasins. Linear programming model were developed for each of the four areas and used to generate value of marginal product schedules by parametric variation of water during the late irrigation season (after July 1). Differences in value of marginal product for average annual water deliveries were indications of a malallocation of late season water. A reallocation involving 28 percent of the restraining input (water) would increase net farm incomes (returns to capital, labor, and management) an …
Economic Efficiency Of Grazing Systems, Muhammad Nazir
Economic Efficiency Of Grazing Systems, Muhammad Nazir
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Benefits and costs of implementing the specialized grazing systems on federal rangelands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) were studied. First only the direct benefits and costs were used to determine the internal rates of return on the Bureau of Land Management investments in grazing systems. Secondly, the effects of these systems on profits of private ranchers were determined. Finally the benefits and costs stream on the Bureau of Land Management and the changes in ranchers' profits were brought together to find out the net gain to society from investing the federal funds in specialized grazing systems.

A Study Of The Relationship Between Unemployment In Indiana And The United States, Jack W. Bell
A Study Of The Relationship Between Unemployment In Indiana And The United States, Jack W. Bell
Graduate Thesis Collection
Each state or region within the United States has certain unique and distinct characteristics that cause its economic performance to vary from that of the nation as a whole. Unemployment rates, as summary measures of unutilized manpower resources, frequently serve as a gauge of the general economic situation and social well-being. It is a well documented fact that unemployment is not evenly distributed througout the nation. For example, although 54% of the labor force is concetrated in the northeast and north central regions, they only account for 46% of the unemployment in recent years. This thesis focuses on the measurement …

W. S. U'Ren And The Fight For Government Reform And The Single Tax: 1908-1912, David Elvin Lindstrom
Dissertations and Theses
In the study of Oregon politics, the importance of developments in the early twentieth century have been largely overlooked by popular historians. As a result, many have lost the perspective of the sweeping reforms that reformers presented to Oregon's electorate. Another complicating factor is that voters dealing with the issues during the period had such disparaging attitudes towards some of the reforms, that no thought was given to preserving their memory for future generations. In addition, the personal papers of W. S. U'Ren, Oregon's leading reformer, are not available. This makes perspective even more difficult. Therefore, the research problem is …
