The Timing, Intensity, And Composition Of Interest Group Lobbying: An Analysis Of Structural Policy Windows In The States, John M. De Figueiredo

Faculty Scholarship

This is the first paper to statistically examine the timing of interest group lobbying. It introduces a theoretical framework based on recurring “structural policy windows” and argues that these types of windows should have a large effect on the intensity and timing of interest group activity. Using a new database of all lobbying expenditures in the U.S. states ranging up to 25 years, the paper shows interest group lobbying increases substantially during one of these structural windows in particular--the budgeting process. Spikes in lobbying during budgeting are driven primarily by business groups. Moreover, even groups relatively unaffected by budgets lobby …

Determinants Of Financial Condition: A Study Of U.S. Cities, Lynda Dennis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

How well a local government is able to provide for the needs and preferences of its citizens generally depends on the financial resources available; and, how such resources are allocated, distributed, and managed. Demographics, size of local government, supply and age of infrastructure, financial position of the government, and the local economy represent a few of the factors affecting what public goods and services citizens prefer. Internal systems of accounting and control affect the allocation, distribution, and management of financial resources. As such, these internal systems significantly affect the provision of public goods and services. The research outlined in this …

The Chinese Telecommunications Manufacturing Industry: An Economic Analysis, Jiamin Qi

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The Chinese telecommunications manufacturing industry is one of the fastest growing industries in China. This paper addresses the question of how China can develop this industry and penetrate the U.S. market. To this end, I study the U.S. telecommunications manufacturing market to find market opportunities. Subsequently, I examine the Chinese telecommunications manufacturing industry, mainly focusing on the industry’s structures, and the vendors’ conduct and performance. Several government policies are discussed which will foster the development of this Chinese industry in the U.S. market. Moreover, I assess several strategies for overseas expansion by the Chinese telecommunications equipment vendors.

Cost Benefit Analysis Of An Automated Labeling System For Green Tokai Co., Ltd., Glenn Charles Wintrich

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This project was conducted in order to analyze the causes of domestic trouble tickets (DTRs) at Green Tokai Co., Ltd., as well as provide recommendations on how to reduce them. DTRs cost Green Tokai $518,000 annually.

At the onset of this project it became clear that one of the major contributors to DTRs was the labeling process that was in place. Green Tokai was shipping incorrectly labeled parts to customers. This problem became the primary focus of the project, and several recommendations were made in order to reduce the DTRs due to labeling issues.

Many of the labeling issues could …

Inventing Flight: The Centennial Celebration An Economic Impact Study On Tourism In Dayton, Ohio, Elina Blain

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This paper quantifies the local economic impact of the 2003 Inventing Flight Celebration in Dayton, Ohio. Using information from the Wright State University (WSU) Inventing Flight Survey of 1,502 visitors to the events and RIMS II multipliers for the Dayton/Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), the local expenditures, income, and employment impacts are estimated. This paper includes a complete analysis of the WSU Inventing Flight Survey questions and responses in order to find out how this one-time Celebration affected the local economy. Both the short-term and long-term benefits of this regional tourism event are included in this study.

Cost Effectiveness Of Treating The Metabolic Syndrome In The Uninsured In Montgomery County, Deepa Bangalore

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Treating the uninsured in cases of cardiovascular emergencies has demonstrated to be a large expense to the health care system, primarily borne by the society as they contribute to taxes/levies that support local hospitals for indigent care. Interventions to reduce the cardiovascular risk factors among the uninsured are expensive but have proven to be an effective alternative to the present situation, which is to treat them only in cases of emergencies. The metabolic syndrome (MS) poses a threat particularly to the uninsured population because of its asymptomatic nature. Detection and treatment of MS at its onset provides substantial clinical benefit …

Inventing Flight: Economic Impacts Of Heritage Tourism And The National Park Service In Dayton, Ohio, As Part Of The Wright State University Inventing Flight Visitors Survey, July 3-20, Thomas Anthony Mays

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Originally established in 1989 as the 2003 Committee, the Inventing Flight Committee was formed to honor the accomplishments of the Wright Brothers through leading the planning and implementation of the 2003 Inventing Flight Celebrations.1 Inventing Flight’s efforts will realize a lasting legacy, including long term economic impacts in the Dayton region from increases in heritage awareness, improvements in infrastructure, and the arrival of the National Park Service.

Without Inventing Flight, it is unlikely that the Dayton area would have been given the attention necessary to receive designation as a National Historic Park. This designation has and will continue to attract …

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of international students in the United States, particularly at Wright State University (W.S.U), on the Greater Miami Valley Area.

This economic impact study will use previously compiled information extend on it to ascertain the impact of international education in the Miami Valley and by extension to the United States. Public policies towards international students will also be evaluated.

Manufacturing Industry Cluster And High-Technology Industry Analysis Of Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area, Ergun Meric

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

The aim of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area manufacturing cluster and I evaluate the region's high tech capacity.

Cluster analysis is an important tool which is widely used by regional economists to assist firms and local governments in their decision making process and development strategies.

In the first section of this study, the theoretical framework of cluster analysis is explained by referring to authors who contributed to the development of the concept in recent years. Location quotient analysis is used to compare the region's capability with other MSAs and nationwide. By using …

Social Capital And Economic Development: Possible Links And The Implications For Economic Policy, Allan Ochieng Oginga

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

This research project was carried out with three principle objectives. First, I provide a primer investigation of what social capital means and examine its possible relevance in the discipline of economics and I highlight some of the numerous conceptual debates surrounding the theory. Secondly, I shed light on the historical progression and time line for the implications of social capital. That is, where we were in the past, where we are at the current time and where we (as economists) are possibly heading with this into the future. Lastly, I highlight some of the major challenges in applying an empirical …

Semantic Visualization: Interfaces For Exploring And Exploiting Ontology, Knowledgebase, Heterogeneous Content And Complex Relationships, Amit P. Sheth, David Avant

Kno.e.sis Publications

Technology platforms and products for ontology-driven process of semantic applications that serve both Enterprise wide and pan-Web needs are both available and being deployed. Similar to the development of enterprise software applications, the creation of an ontology driven semantic application can be described as a set of distinct phases that compose a lifecycle. From conception to deployment, these phases involve human interaction with a broad variety of information, identified as heterogeneous data, metadata, knowledge and ontology. Based on experience spanning academic research at the LSDIS lab through deployed commercial semantic applications based on Semagix Freedom, this paper provides examples of …
