Optimal Growth With Scale Economies In Overhead Capital, Martin L. Weitzman

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Following closely the approach to optimal economic growth taken in the work of Frank Ramsey (1928), a highly simplified two-sector model is presented in which the “overhead capital” sector exhibits increasing returns to scale. Basic properties of the optimal growth path are discussed and the optimal policy is explicitly demonstrated for a special case. From an economic standpoint, the model might be relevant in bearing on some issues of development programming. Mathematically, this kind of a model has an interesting structure because it is a combination of convex and concave sub-problems.

The Green Thumb Program, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The Green Thumb program was a prominent national feature of the rural “war on poverty” beginning in early 1966. A public works outdoor beautification program to employ low income older workers. It was modeled on the 1930s era Civilian Conservation Corps, and funded under contract to the National Farmers’ Union by the U.S. Labor Department. By the 1980s, when it was eclipsed by an experimental computer-based video text information delivery system for farmers of the same name Green Thumb had largely disappeared from public view. Today, a Google search with the phrase “Green Thumb program” turns up dozens of references …

A Stochastic Model Of Wildfire Ignitions And Damages, John Heineke, Stein Weissenberger

Economics

A model of the production of wildfire ignitions and damages is developed and used to determine wildland activity-regulation decisions which minimize total expected cost-plus-loss due to wildfires. In this context, the implications of various policy decisions are considered. The resulting decision rules take a form which makes it possible for existing wildfire management agencies to readily adopt them upon collection of the required data.
