Moral Hazard In Risk-Averse Teams, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Moral Hazard In Risk-Averse Teams, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Holmstrom (1982) has shown that a non-budget- balancing contract induces a team of risk- neutral agents to choose the first- best effort levels. This is not generally true when agents are risk averse. Furthermore, a"massacre" contract, which punishes all but one agent when the outcome is low, can attain the first best over a wider range of parameters than any other budget-balancing contract.
A Palaeodemographic Model Of Late Holocene Central Murray Aboriginal Society, Australia, Steve Webb
A Palaeodemographic Model Of Late Holocene Central Murray Aboriginal Society, Australia, Steve Webb
Steve Webb
A recent palaeopathological study has indicated that prehistoric Aboriginal society in some parts of southeastern Australia was sedentary and supported large populations. This conclusion generally supports archaeological evidence that a period of socio-enconomic intensification took place over the last 2–3,000 years. Also, concurrent research has focused attention on the possibility of extensive reductions among Aboriginal populations of the area through the introduction of smallpox. This process took place at a very early stage of European colonisation and in regions yet to be explored. As a result, smallpox probably killed large numbers of Aborigens before Europeans knew what the size of …

Bicentennial Lecture: The Charter Of Our Liberty, Steven Alan Samson
Bicentennial Lecture: The Charter Of Our Liberty, Steven Alan Samson
Steven Alan Samson
If we wish to know what the founding generation meant by liberty, consult the election sermons and thanksgiving sermons of the day. The founders knew that “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17). They sought to live together as a Christian people according to Christ’s “perfect law of liberty” (Jas. 1:25). That is, “the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free” (Gal. 5:1). This is what is written between the lines of the Constitution. The Bible is the charter of our liberty. It is the substance of our constitutional liberties.

The Effect Of Federal Tax Deductibility On State And Local Taxes And Spending, Gilbert E. Metcalf, Martin S. Feldstein
The Effect Of Federal Tax Deductibility On State And Local Taxes And Spending, Gilbert E. Metcalf, Martin S. Feldstein
Gilbert E. Metcalf
This paper examines the effect of federal deductibility of state and local taxes on the fiscal behavior of state and local governments. The primary finding is that deductibility affects the way that state and local governments finance their spending as well as the overall level of spending. More specifically, in states in which federal deductibility implies a relatively low cost of using deductible personal taxes (including income, sales, and property taxes), there is greater reliance on those taxes and less reliance on business taxes and other revenue sources. The effect of deductibility on the state and local financial mix implies …

Extract
In the last three years Aboriginal communities, particularly from south-eastern Australia, have shown great concern about the collection, storage and study of their skeletal remains. From the start there was an almost universal call for the immediate reburial of all such remains held in museums, irrespective of age and scientific value. Between May 1984 and the end of 1985, a series of Aboriginal meetings took place at which the maintenance of Aboriginal skeletal collections and research on them was condemned. Moratoria followed, preventing research even on those remains dating back 14,000 years. Antagonism arose between Aborigines and researchers, particularly …

De La Manipulación De La Esperanza A La Gestión Del Fracasao: La Triste Historia Del Plan Techo, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Los últimos censos realizados en 1982 nos revelan la incontrastable situaci6n de que la magnitud del déficit de vivienda existente en el país bordea el mill6n de unidades y el aditamento nada optimista de que este crece anualmente en sesenta y cinco mil viviendas. Sin duda que esta magnitud del déficit de vivienda es uno de los rasgos más visibles del "problema o penuria de la vivienda" en el que están involucrados, como se señala, amplias capas de población. Esta en relación con las características de distribución territorial de la población, con las condiciones de apropiación de la riqueza social, …

The Indexation Of Interest, Depreciation, And Capital Gains And Tax Reform In The U.S., Don Fullerton
The Indexation Of Interest, Depreciation, And Capital Gains And Tax Reform In The U.S., Don Fullerton
Don Fullerton
The Treasury's 1984 plan is a more comprehensive income tax, including the indexation of interest, depreciation, and capital gains. The 1985 President's proposal retains some of this indexation. The author measures the incentives under each regime to make marginal investments in the corporate, noncorporate and housing sectors. Inflation causes current effective tax rates to rise for some assets and fall for others. Overall rates fall with inflation, and the corporate tax is completely offset by credits, allowances, and deductions. Under the proposals, the corporate tax reemerges, effective tax rates are much more uniform, and the interference of inflation is virtually …
Curative Factors In Offenders' Groups, John W. Macdevitt, Charles A. Sanislow
Curative Factors In Offenders' Groups, John W. Macdevitt, Charles A. Sanislow
Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.
Curative factors were assessed among therapy groups of offenders experiencing differentially restrictive incarceration, from probation through minimum security and maximum security to a special segregation unit for behaviorally problematic prisoners. Catharsis was highly rated as in earlier studies, while interpersonal learning input was rated at varying levels. Existential awareness was rated much higher than with typical outpatient populations, while cohesiveness was rated lower. The significance of these findings is discussed.

Content Similarities And Differences In Cattell’S Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Eight State Questionnaire, And Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle
Content Similarities And Differences In Cattell’S Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Eight State Questionnaire, And Motivation Analysis Test, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The multivariate psychometric measurement of normal personality traits, transitory emotional states, and dynamic motivational factors has been made possible through the factor analytically validated instruments devised by Cattell and his associates. Previous research by Boyle, et al. has demonstrated that in accord with theory, all three instruments are measuring essentially separate psychological domains. While this quantitative evidence suggested that the multivariate instruments exhibit little measurement overlap with each other, nevertheless, it was not possible to ascertain the content similarities and differences from the canonical-redundancy analyses reported. Hence, the present study examines these qualitative characteristics in terms of the subscale data …
A Cross-Validation Of The Factor Structure Of The Profile Of Mood States: Were The Factors Correctly Identified In The First Instance?, Gregory J. Boyle
A Cross-Validation Of The Factor Structure Of The Profile Of Mood States: Were The Factors Correctly Identified In The First Instance?, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
The present study investigated further the factorial structure of the Profile of Mood States in an Australian college sample of 289 undergraduate students. Responses for all 65 items were intercorrelated and subjected to an iterative principal factoring procedure together with rotation to oblique simple structure. Results indicated that the basic subscale structure of the profile is reliable, although some additional factors of emotionality could be discerned. A subsequent higher-order analysis suggested that at the typological mood-state level, the Profile of Mood States primarily indexes three state dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Arousal.
Evidence Of Typological Mood States From Change-Score (Dr) Factoring Of The Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (Caq), Gregory J. Boyle
Evidence Of Typological Mood States From Change-Score (Dr) Factoring Of The Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (Caq), Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
A series of studies has attempted to elucidate higher-order mood-state dimensions through factor analyses of a number of multidimensional self-report instruments. Results suggest at least five higher-order mood states (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Arousal-Fatigue, Hostility, Depression). However, the question of possible mood states in the psychopathological domain remains unresolved. The present study investigates this issue through second- and third-order dR-analyses of the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ). Results indicate further abnormal typological mood-state factors in addition to those previously delineated within the (normal) mood-state sphere.
Commentary: The Role Of Intrapersonal Psychological Variables In Academic School Learning, Gregory J. Boyle
Commentary: The Role Of Intrapersonal Psychological Variables In Academic School Learning, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
Intellectual abilities may contribute up to 25% of the variance in measures of academic school learning. However, the role of intrapersonal variables other than cognitive ability (personality traits, motivational dynamic factors, transitory emotional states) has usually been considered as fairly trivial. Past research, to the contrary, suggests that under stressful conditions, the relative contribution of such intrapersonal factors may even become predominant in influencing achievement. When analyses are based on change scores rather than single-occasion measures (which include trait contamination variance), the influence of emotional states on learning is shown to be very significant indeed.
