Evaluation Of The Impact Of Federal Participation On The Distribution Of Economic Activity And Population In The State Of Utah, Nureddin A. Taqieddin

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since World War I, the federal government of the U.S. has played an increasingly important role in social and economic functions of the American society. Whether by direct employment or through indirect payments to private and public parties, federal programs have an unquestionable impact on the distribution of economic activity among various regions of the U.S. This impact varies directly with the relative magnitude of federal participation in total economic activity of any region.

In certain areas, federal employment reflects the greatest portion of total federal activity. Where this is true, the impact of federal employment on the distribution of …

State Expenditures In Utah: An Analysis Of Time-Series Models, William Darrell Lewis

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this paper was to determine the economic, sociopolitical, and other related factors which account for the variation in state expenditures across time. Utah was selected as the test state and data were collected from school records, political rosters, employment statistics, and a variety of federal government documents. Particular emphasis was placed on three areas: the cause-effect relationships between variables, relating the model to a body of economic theory, and demonstrating how the model may be applied in forecasting state expenditure needs.

Supply-and-demand analysis was the underlying economic theory. A simultaneous-equation model consisting of four equations--demand for state …

Covered Employment And Wages Quarterly_May 1973, Employment Security Commission Of New Mexico

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) is a comprehensive program that compiles data on employment and wages for workers covered by state unemployment insurance laws and Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE).

The QCEW program is a cooperative effort between the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and state employment security agencies.

Dual Labor Markets: A Theory Of Labor Market Segmentation, Michael Reich, David M. Gordon, Richard C. Edwards

Department of Economics: Faculty Publications

A growing body of empirical research has documented persistent divisions among American workers: divisions by race, sex, educational credentials, industry grouping, and so forth (F. B. Weisskoff, B. Bluestone, S. Bowles and H. Gintis, D. Gordon, 1971 and 1972, B. Harrison, M. Reich, H. Wachtel and C. Betsey, and H. Zellner). These groups seem to operate in different labor markets, with different working conditions, different promotional opportunities, different wages, and different market institutions.

These continuing labor market divisions pose anomalies for neoclassical economists. Orthodox theory assumes that profit-maximizing employers evaluate workers in terms of their individual characteristics and predicts that …

Transportation And Public Service Costs For Rural Communities Of Various Sizes, Thomas L. Williams

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Lower real incomes in the agricultural sector compared with other sectors of the economy have led to continued migration of rural people to urban areas. Despite this movement of surplus people from farm areas, incomes in the rural sector have failed to keep pace with those in urban areas. Fewer social amenities and other conveniences have also contributed to rural-urban migration.

This reduction in rural population and the consequent reduction in the economic bases of many rural communities has raised some interesting questions about city and rural government consolidation. What sizes of cities should be encouraged in the rural areas, …

The Economic Efficiency Of Inter-Basin Transfers Of Agricultural Water In Utah: A Mathematical Programming Approach, John Keith

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The economic efficiency of water development in Utah, including transfer systems, has seldom been examined, nor has the costs of public policies which result in deviations from efficient allocations. In order that public officials be better informed about water allocations, the present effort examines the efficient allocation of water in time frames up to 2020 under several alternative assumptions and calculates the cost of alternative policies.

Using mathematical programming techniques, a computer mode l is developed to determine the supply (marginal cost) and demand (value of marginal product) relationships for agricultural water, given depletions for municipal and industrial (M & …

The Application Of Legal And Business Policies To State Prison Industries, Daniel Pramuk, Gregory Robinson, William Rotzien

IUSTITIA

The Prison Industries (P.I.) division of the Indiana State Department of Correction presented the challenge of a business function that must be carried out to achieve policy goals established by the legislature. The legal constraints imposed upon P.I. present barriers unique to the regular business community, and yet, analysis of conventional business planning provides a starting point for an analysis of P.l's plan and its implementation, and provides a guide for posing alternative plans. The Pendleton Reformatory was chosen for observation of P.I. in operation and its relation to the prison as an institution.

Interstate Comparison Of Input-Output Coefficients., Massis Galestanzadeh

Economics ETDs

The methods of foretelling, planning for future, range from the mythological to the mathematical and now many are confident that some methods developed by economics are sufficiently established to predict future economic events in the course of economic development. In spite of well known fiascos associated with planning mistakes and economic predictions, the need for forecasts and plans has been increas­ing. One reason for this need is that individual and collective living requires considerable amount of planning over a wide range of activi­ties.

The aim of this study is to examine a well known practice of economic planning, namely, to …

Game Theory And Political Science, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

There are several topics in political science to which the application of game theory is prima facie appealing. They are voting, the study of power, diplomacy, negotiation and bargaining behavior, coalition formation among political groups and logrolling. This brief survey is by no means intended to be comprehensive but is intended to serve as a guide to some of the more immediate applications of game theory to political science.

Higher Education Enrollment Projection Model: A Description And Evaluation, David W. Weig

Economics ETDs

With the increasing number of problems impacting higher education today, several efforts have been undertaken at the national, state and institutional levels. All of these reactions to the growing problem situation usually result in increased information requirements. The ability to accurately project student enrollment is a requisite to proper planning, budgeting and management of higher education. The large growth rate of the 1960's has ceased and the current outlook for the 1980's is for slight enrollment declines. This situation makes the 1970's a most sensitive time for projecting enrollments. It is during these transitory times that many procedures and methods …
