Integration And Economic Development, Robert L. Birmingham

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this paper I shall attempt to evaluate the potential impact of economic association among underdeveloped countries. Attention is centered on gain achievable by participating states as a group: world welfare alteration appears devoid of normative implication to the national decision maker, while questions of internal distribution of union benefit are too complex for summary treatment. Conclusions of amalgamation efficacy rest jointly on abstract analysis and deduction from empirical economic parameters; discussion of trade and development theory is extended beyond that logically necessary for argument coherence to provide a brief introduction to relevant recent thought.

Experimental Auction Markets And The Walrasian Hypothesis, Vernon L. Smith

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

This study reports on a block of experimental market sessions designed primarily to provide (1) the severest test yet attempted of the equilibrating forces operating in competitive auction markets and (2) a more rigorously controlled test of the Walrasian hypothesis. Some data are also supplied which show the effect of cash payoffs on the equilibrating behavior of such markets; in particular, the effect of full cash payoffs to all successful trading subjects as against payoffs to a subset of such subjects chosen at random.

Impact Of Technology On Labor, Allan Jeong Wong

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is not the intent of this paper to contribute to the body of technological knowledge nor even to report on it at length, but to investigate in one area the important economic and social effect caused by technological progress. It is the intent of this study to answer or at least throw some light on the problem of the technological impact on labor.

Development Through Community Effort Of An Early Training Program For Culturally Disadvantaged Children, Rita Williams Emery

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Each year children of seasonal worker who reside in the labor camps of the Patterson-Westley area enter kindergarten unable to learn. They are disadvantaged by comparison with children from the middle-class homes in the community. The organization and development of Del Puerto School for Pre-Kindergarten Children was a community effort to alleviate some of the cultural deprivation experienced by the children.

Central Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Accounts For The Year Ended 31st December 1964, Central Bank Of Nigeria

CBN Annual Report

CBN annual report and statement of accounts for 1964 covers economic performance including key economic indicators such as inflation rate, GDP growth, exchange rate stability, banking sector performance, monetary policy, financial stability, fiscal policy, and regulatory updates for 1964. Export earnings of the developing countries rose during 1964, reflecting a continuing upswing in economic activity in the industrial countries. The rate of increase, however, was somewhat slower than in 1963. The share of the developing countries in total world exports in 1964, however, amounted to 22.1 per cent as compared with 22.9 per cent in 1963. World exports rose substantially …

Optimum Economic Growth In An Aggregative Model Of Capital Accumulation: A Turnpike Theorem, David Cass

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Recent contributions to the theory of optimum economic growth, for example, in [1], [3], [8] or [10], like Ramsey’s seminal article [6], have been primarily concerned with the implications of maximizing the social welfare generated by the entire stream of future consumption. As an alternative formulation, in this paper it is postulated that only the social welfare associated with future consumption over some finite period is of direct concern; generations beyond the horizon are accounted for only insofar as a lower bound on the terminal capital stock is prescribed. Then, within a closed, aggregative framework, the behavior of growth paths …

A Parametric Simplicial Formulation Of Houthakker's Capacity Method, C. Van De Panne, Andrew B. Whinston

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The paper reformulates Houthakker’s capacity method for quadratic programming in the framework of the Simplex and dual methods for quadratic programming, thereby greatly reducing the conceptual and computational complexities of the method. It is shown that the method is applicable for all convex quadratic programming problems, including the case of a semi-definite matrix of the quadratic form and that of constraints in equality form. The method reduces in the linear programming case to a parametric version of the dual method.

Stock Market Indices: A Principal Components Analysis, George J. Feeney, Donald D. Hester

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper investigates a widely quoted stock market index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (hereafter DJI), and constructs some alternative indices. Their performances are compared to the DJI. The question of applying the indices to problems of portfolio selection is explored when investors’ utility functions are quadratic in the rate of return. By constructing indices from data collected in different time periods, some conclusions are drawn about the constancy of price and rate of return covariance and correlation matrices of the 30 Dow Jones Industrial stocks over time.

Models Of Technical Progress And The Golden Rule Of Research, Edmond S. Phelps

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The primary purpose of this paper is to present a model of technical progress and economic growth from which one can derive a Golden Rule of Research quite analogous to the Golden Rule of Accumulation. The secondary purpose is to discuss various models of technical progress. That there might exist a Golden Rule for research is not surprising since research is a kind of investment – investment in technology – just as “accumulation” denotes investment in tangible capital. Nevertheless “capital” and “technology” differ in important aspects. If, given the technology, the production of commodities is homogeneous of degree one in …

An Experimental Study In Oligopoly, James W. Friedman

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A very general model with which many theories of oligopolistic behavior might be tested would be a useful tool for economists. In the first part of this paper a model is proposed for this role. The model is not developed in the fullest degree of generality, but is presented in the way most relevant to experiments of the type presented in the second part of the paper. The experiments employ a simple market model in which each subject takes the role of a business firm, each firm has only one decision variable under its control (its own price) and the …

Application Of Location Theory And Empirical Data By Area Industrial Development Groups, Clarence Arthur Middleton Jr.

Master's Theses

The objective of this paper is to determine if theories of industrial location and empirical data describing changes in manufacturing employment might suggest efficient approaches in attracting industry to a particular area. This is in sharp contrast to the usual application of location theory in which the optimum location of a firm or of a particular industry is selected.
