Effects Of Temperature, Clothing And Task Complexity On Job Performance And Satisfaction, Stephen Vickroy, James Shaw, Cynthia Fisher
Effects Of Temperature, Clothing And Task Complexity On Job Performance And Satisfaction, Stephen Vickroy, James Shaw, Cynthia Fisher
James B Shaw
Examined the effects of room temperature, clothing, and task complexity on task performance and satisfaction. 120 18-22 yr old male college students worked on either a mathematical problem-solving task or a collating task. Room temperature was maintained at either 65 or 78[PHI] during the task session. Ss were requested to wear either a suit (or sport coat), long sleeve shirt, and tie; or a short-sleeve shirt with no tie. Ss were administered the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results show that Ss wearing appropriate clothing for the temperature conditions showed higher levels of performance and satisfaction with the working condition than did …
When Is A Man's Life Worth More Than His Human Capital?, Ted Bergstrom
When Is A Man's Life Worth More Than His Human Capital?, Ted Bergstrom
Ted C Bergstrom
This paper develops a "subjectivist" theory of the value that individuals place on risks to their lives. It explains the paradox that although individuals may view their lives as priceless, they still will take small risks for a finite amount of money. Typical public projects that alter risks to life result in small changes in survival probability for a large number of people. Standard tools of benefit cost can therefore be applied, where statistical lives saved are valued at a price equal to the marginal rate of substitution between survival probability and wealth. This "value" is compared to human capital …
The Challenge Of Socialist Thought, Noel B. Reynolds
The Challenge Of Socialist Thought, Noel B. Reynolds
Noel B Reynolds
This presentation points to socialists’ mistaken assumptions of a malleable and perfectible human nature as an insuperable reason for the inevitable failure of socialist systems. It also points to socialist and liberal dependence on declarations of human rights as ineffective protections for human freedom—protections which can only be maintained in constitutionalist systems with deeper structural safeguards against tyranny

LOCAL DEMOCRATIC PLANNING WOULD BEGIN WITH NEIGHBORHOODBASED PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH TECHNICAL HELP TO COME UP WITH AN ASSESSMENT OF THE GOODS & SERVICES NEEDED BY THEIR COMMUNITY. THIS MIGHT INCLUDE PUBLIC AMENITIES LIKE PARKS & STREET REPAIRS, & PRIVATE NEEDS LIKE PARTICULAR KINDS OF STORES OR, SIMPLY, JOBS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

The Free-Fare Transit Experiment, A. Studenmund, D Connor
A. H. Studenmund
This paper summarizes and evaluates the results of experiments which consisted of the elimination of bus fares in off-peak in the cities of Trenton, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado. Because the data in Denver had significant weaknesses, the specific figures cited herein are for Trenton (more accurately, Mercer County, New Jersey); the results of the two experiments were essentially identical, however, so the conclusions drawn are made in a more general context. The evaluation found that the net ridership increase during the demonstration was on the order of 15% (about 45% during the off-peak periods). This included the combined effects …

On The Possibility Of An Inverse Relationship Between Tax Rates And Government Revenues, Don Fullerton
On The Possibility Of An Inverse Relationship Between Tax Rates And Government Revenues, Don Fullerton
Don Fullerton
When Arthur Laffer and other 'supply side advocates' plot total tax revenue as a function of a particular tax rate, they draw an upward-sloping segment called the normal range, followed by a downward-sloping segment called the prohibitive range. A brief literature review indicates that tax rates on the prohibitive range in theoretical and empirical models have been the result of particularly high tax rates, high elasticity parameters, or both. The labor tax rate which maximizes total revenue, for example, will depend on the assumed labor supply elasticity. This paper introduces a new curve which summarizes the tax rate and elasticity …
