On Allocative Distortions In Problems Of Self-Selection, Russell Cooper

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers the general structure of self-selection models. By imposing conditions which permit the ordering of agents by their preferences, we provide a characterization of the distortions inherent in the sorting process. We also discuss extensions of the basic model such as randomization. Time Series Behavior of Prices for Overlapping Futures Contracts, with an Application to Soybean Futures

The Structure Of Social Risk, William D. Nordhaus, Steven N. Durlauf

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is increasingly recognized that the structure of financial risks interacts with economic or fundamental risks in a way that influence real economic outcomes. Recent work documents, on the one hand, the apparent excessive sensitivity of financial markets to economic shocks (see especially Shiller (1979)); and on the other hand the close dependence of investment and economic variables on financial variables. One of the central developments to analyze such interactions has been portfolio theory, particularly the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). This field has been extremely fertile, and has seen an outpouring of both theoretical and empirical work. Unfortunately, virtually …

Energy-Efficient Clothing, Interior Architecture And Furnishing Designs: Consumer Attitudes, Acceptability Levels And Preferences, Barbara Parks

Home Economics and Family Living Theses

Energy-efficient designs in clothing, interior architecture and furnishings were evaluated (a) to assess consumers’ attitudes toward the designs, (b) to compare acceptability levels of participants who were knowledgeable in the home energy field with those who were less knowledgeable and (c) to determine if consumers had a preference for using housing, clothing or furnishings in meeting their thermal comfort needs. Four designs generated by the University of Tennessee-Energy Design competition were evaluated: a leisure outfit, a lounging dress, a water-storage collector (room divider and coffee tables) and a solar waterbed. Rogers and Shoemaker’s perceived attributes of innovations model (relative advantage, …

Era's: A New Approach To Small Sample Theory, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This article proposes a new approach to small sample theory that achieves a meaningful integration of earlier directions of research in this field. The approach centers on the constructive technique of approximating distributions developed recently by the author in [10]. This technique utilizes extended rational approximants (ERA’s) which methods (such as those based on asymptotic expansions) and which simultaneously blend information from diverse analytic, numerical and experimental sources. The first part of the article explores the general theory of approximation of continuous probability distributions by means of ERA’s. Existence, characterization, error bound and uniqueness for the convergence result obtained earlier …

Report On The Proposed Changes In New _07-30-1982, Albert M. Church

Economic Evaluation Of Solar Energy Systems In Commercial Buildings: Methodology And Case Studies, Rosalie T. Ruegg, G. Thomas Sav, Jeanne W. Powell, E. Thomas Pierce

Economics Faculty Publications

This report develops a comprehensive economic optimization model for evaluating the economic feasibility of active solar energy systems to provide service hot water and combined space heating/service hot water in commercial buildings. The model is demonstrated in a number of case studies for office buildings and retail stores. Data and assumptions for use in the model are compiled for the selected case studies. Using these data, the model is applied to estimate present value net savings (or net losses) of the solar energy systems over a 20-year life cycle. Break-even values for hot water loads, solar energy system costs, and …

We Can't Disagree Forever, John Geanakoplos, Heracles M. Polemarchakis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Under the assumption of common priors, if the information partitions of two agents are finite, then simply by communicating back and forth and revising their posteriors the two agents will converge to a common equilibrium posterior, even though they may base their posteriors on quite different information. Furthermore, given any integer, n, one can construct an example in which the revision process not only takes n steps to converge, but no evident revision occurs — for (n – 1) steps both agents repeat the same conflicting posteriors — until the last step when the two agents decide to agree. Common …
