Solar Water And Space Heating: An Economic Evaluation, Roberta Marina Katson

Economics ETDs

The rapid depletion of our domestic fossil fuel resource base is an issue of great concern. Shortages, curtailments, and increased dependence upon foreign sources of energy are becoming the rule rather than the exception. This study examine the role of residential solar water and space heating as an alternative source of energy. In this study a scenario of future energy prices is developed and consumer costs from traditional sources are projected both on an annualized (life cycle) basis and on a current cost basis for residential space heating and domestic hot water. These costs are developed by state through 1990 …

A Comparison Of Defense And Welfare Spending In The United States And The United Kingdom, 1946-1976, James L. Clayton

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

One of the most important and absorbing questions of our time is whether governments should extend or retrench their efforts toward assisting people who do not seem to be able to make it on their own. Those who believe that governments should expand their programs to help the needy argue that a compassionate and affluent society has both the ability and the responsibility to do so; those who believe that governments have already pushed too far and too fast argue that the advance of the welfare state must be halted. Closely related to this basic disagreement is the question whether …

New York City And The Economic Crisis, Joseph Harris

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The crisis of New York City and the crises affecting many hundreds of other cities, counties, school districts, and other local and state governments are not accidents. They are a direct result of the neglect that social welfare receives at the hands of a government interested only in furthering the profits and position of the monopolies. Some people call the U.S. government a "warfare/welfare" state. I prefer to call it a state dominated by the giant corporations which control the economic and hence the political life of our nation. As long as federal policy continues to stress profits before people, …

Social Welfare As A By-Product: The Effect Of Neo-Mercantilism , David Macarov

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mercantilism was a predominant philosophy, theory, or guide to action in many western countries. Emphasis on measures leading to national wealth was pronounced--in some cases, almost exclusive--and the results for social welfare were marginal programs at best, and anti-welfare programs in some cases. In contradistinction to individual needs or aspirations, considerations of national wealth and power were paramount to the point that, in Britain at least, it seemed that here was "nothing to fight for, nothing to support, nothing to augment but.. .commerce." Whether national wealth was seen as leading to national iower, or …

The Case For Tax Loopholes, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Contrary to popular belief, tax expenditures or "loopholes" can in fact be useful. Given that the prompt elimination of large government deficit financing and pervasive government regulation is unlikely, tax expenditures may serve as a more sensible, second-best alternative. Indeed, tax expenditures (or incentives) may serve a variety of public purposes, ranging from promoting business investment to encouraging private, voluntary organizations. Typical tax expenditures tend to benefit the middle and lower income groups and should be considered an important alternative to achieve important government objectives.

The Economic Impact Of Changes In Mineral Production In The State Of New Mexico: 1975-2000 (2), University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report examines the macro-level economic impact of expected changes in New Mexico's energy-mineral sectors, forecasting shifts in total gross output, employment, and state tax revenues from 1975 to 2000. Developed using a customized 50-sector input-output model, the study models the systemic, multi-industry economic contractions linked to projected oil and gas production declines, while detailing the corresponding growth offsets driven by expanding uranium mining, coal extraction, and proposed coal gasification projects.

Logrolling And Budget Allocation Games, Martin Shubik, Ludo Van Der Heyden

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In this paper we approach the concept of logrolling by examining a voting system where choices are made among sets of competing projects as a game in characteristic function form. We translate the question: “Will there be prices for votes on different projects which clear the market?” into a different, but equivalent question: “Is the formal game we have described a market game?” We show that in general the answer is no, unless all voters have virtually the same preferences.
