Values, Beliefs, And Attitudes In A Sociotechnical Setting, F. Gregory Hayden

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

Yngve Ramstad has recently inquired about how to define the components of the social fabric matrix and digraph system [Ramstad 1986; Hayden 1982a, 1982b]. To answer that question with regard to three of the matrix's components is the purpose of this article. The article will present, expand, and refine the author's introductory work on values, beliefs, and attitudes for the social fabric matrix [Hayden 1977, 19851. There are numerous meanings the word "values" evokes among institutionalist readers; for examples: social value, instrumental valuing, technological values, and valuation. Those concepts are concerned with "what ought to be," while the definition of …

Spanning, Valuation And Options, Donald J. Brown, Stephen A. Ross

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We model the space of marketed assets as a Riesz space of commodities. In this setting, two alternative characterizations are given of the space of continuous options on a bounded asset, s, with limited liability. The first characterization represents every continuous option on s as the uniform limit of portfolios of calls on s. The second characterization represents an option as a continuous sum (or integral) of Arrow-Debreu securities, with respect to s. The pricing implications of these representations are explored. In particular, the Breeden-Litzenberger pricing formula is shown to be a direct consequence of the integral representation theorem.

Testing For A Unit Root In The Presence Of A Maintained Trend, Sam Ouliaris, Joon Y. Park, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper develops statistics for detecting the presence of a unit root in time series data against the alternative stationarity. Unlike most existing procedures, the new tests allow for deterministic trend polynomials in the maintained hypothesis. They may be used to discriminate between unit root nonstationarity and processes which are stationary around a deterministic polynomial trend. The tests allow for both forms of nonstationarity under the null hypothesis. Moreover, the tests allow for a wide class of weakly dependent and possibly heterogenously distributed procedures. We illustrate the use of the new tests by applying them to a number a models …

Error Correction And Long Run Equilibrium In Continuous Time, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper deals with error correction models (ECM’s) and cointegrated systems that are formulated in continuous time. Problems of representation, identification, estimation and time aggregation are discussed. It is shown that every ECM in continuous time has a discrete time equivalent model in ECM format. Moreover, both models may be written as triangular systems with stationary errors. This formulation simplifies both the continuous and the discrete time ECM representations and it helps to motivate a class of optimal inference procedures. It is further shown that long run equilibria in the continuous system are always identified in the discrete time reduced …

Spectral Regression For Cointegrated Time Series, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies the use of spectral regression techniques in the context of cointegrated systems of multiple time series. Several alternatives are considered including efficient and band spectral methods as well as system and single equation techniques. It is shown that single equation spectral regressions suffer asymptotic bias and nuisance parameter problems that render these regressions impotent for inferential purposes. By contrast systems methods are shown to be covered by LAMN asymptotic theory, bringing the advantages of asymptotic media unbiasedness, scale nuisance parameters and the convenience of asymptotic chi-squared tests. System spectral methods also have advantages over full system direct …

A Model For Estimating The Cost Of Developing An Expert System, Louis Vincent De Troia

Theses

This paper describes a model that can be used to assist engineers and managers in estimating the cost of developing an expert system. Numerous models are available for estimating the cost of developing conventional software systems [1] [2] [3]. However, relatively little work has been done in the area of expert systems cost estimation [3] [4].

Estimating the cost of any software development project is a difficult task, yet software developers are required to provide reliable estimates of the cost of development early in the development life cycle, quite often before many of the system requirements have been defined. While …

Messaging, The Effects Of The Use Of Voice Mail On The Use Of Electronic Mail, Terese M. De Troia

Theses

A number of office automation products have evolved over the years to address the messaging needs of organizations. The 1800's brought us telegraph systems which led the way for teletype and Telex systems, followed by facsimilie, computer-based message systems, document based electronic mail and, most recently, voice store and forward (or voice messaging) systems (Advances in Office Automation, 1985). Voice messaging systems, a newly emerging method of communications, are having a significant impact on communications. The concept of messaging services is rapidly gaining acceptance in business communities (Girishankar 1986, Hirschheim 1985). With costs rising and time becoming more valuable, organizations …

Effective Techniques For Selection Of Information Systems Personnel, Robert Reginald Downs

Theses

Although major developments in information systems have occurred within the last two decades, staffing to manage these systems has received limited attention. Staffing information systems personnel is investigated in this study to develop effective techniques that can be used in the selection process.

Recent literature on selection and staffing has been reviewed to establish methods that can be used to identify qualified candidates. Technological developments and the resulting effects upon organizational operations are examined, revealing the transition in the information systems management function as well as the effects upon the role of these personnel. The qualifications that are associated with …

Culture Analysis In A Merger Environment, Dorairaj Sharathram

Theses

The effects of the merger upon the People Express Airline company is studied with particular emphasis upon changes in corporate culture and structure.

A case study approach utilizes an extensive literature search and interviews with People Express executives. It is confirmed that the structural change has led to the cultural change.

With a unique style of management structure and culture, People Express, due to its own mistakes and problems, quickly lost its market share and allowed itself to be taken over by Continental Airlines a subsidiary of Houston based Texas Air Corp.

It is interesting to note that the corporate …

A Study In The Distribution Of Gains From International Trade, Suhas C. Chakrabartty

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In order to investigate the phenomenon of the distribution of gains from international trade, Arghiri Emmanuel's ideas are firs t critically discussed, particularly in relation to the traditional Ricardian framework as applied to labor-surplus economics.

It is found that Emmanuel's concept of unequal exchange, which has been termed non-equivalent exchange by Jan Otto Anderson, has certain theoretical drawbacks. In particular, it has been pointed out that the question involved is not one to prove that the poor countries are actually worse off through trade as suggested by Emmanuel. The question involved is rather one of redistribution of gains from trade …

Instructions For Using Crop Insure, Bart Wittnebel, Gerald Toland, Burton Pflueger

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

This publication is intended to assist users of the CROP INSURE computer software developed by the American Association of Crop Insurers. Crop insurance will continue to be an important consideration for South Dakota agricultural producers. The decision to purchase crop insurance or find alternative ways to protect the crop production expenditure investment will have to be made by each individual producer. The economic considerations of this decision will vary by each producer, by crop, by field, and by yield history. The CROP INSURE computer software program is designed to assist in making this decision. These instructions were partly adopted from …

Asymptotic Normality Of Series Estimators For Nonparametric And Semiparametric Regression Models, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper establishes the asymptotic normality of series estimators for nonparametric regression models. Gallant’s Fourier flexible form estimators, trigonometric series estimators, and polynomial series estimators are prime examples of the estimators covered by the results. The results apply to a wide variety of estimands in the regression model under consideration, including derivatives and integrals of the regression function. The errors in the model may be homoskedastic or heteroskeclastic. The paper also considers series estimators for additive interactive regression (AIR), seimparametric regression, and semiparametric index regression models and shows them to be consistent and asymptotically normal. All of the consistency and …

On The Decomposition Of Wage Differentials, Jeremiah Cotton

Economics Faculty Publication Series

The often used method for decomposing wage differentials into human capital and discrimination components is reformulated so that both the disadvantage, or "cost," discrimination imposes on a black or minority wage earner and the advantage, or "benefit," it bestows on a white or majority wage earner can be estimated.
