Review Of The Reserves And Operable Capability Markets: New England's Experience In The First Four Months, Peter Cramton
Review Of The Reserves And Operable Capability Markets: New England's Experience In The First Four Months, Peter Cramton
Peter Cramton
I review the performance of the operating reserves and the operable capability markets in New England. The review covers the first four months of operation from May 1 to August 31, 1999. The review is based on my knowledge of the market rules and their implementation by the ISO, and the market data during this period, including bidding, operating, and settlement information. In the review, I (1) identify the potential market flaws with these markets, (2) look at the performance of the markets to see if the potential problems have materialized, (3) evaluate the ISO's short-term remedies for these market …

Notas Para Una Agenda De Investigación Sobre El Académico En La Educación Superior Mexicana, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes
Notas Para Una Agenda De Investigación Sobre El Académico En La Educación Superior Mexicana, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes
Jesús Francisco Galaz Fontes
Asociado a las recientes transformaciones de la educación superior Mexicana ha emergido un nuevo "académico" al que, a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados a la fecha, todavía no conocemos satisfactoriamente. Tomando en cuenta dichas transformaciones, la investigación realizada en el país, la tradición Estadounidense respectiva y una visión sustentada en el hecho de trabajar como académico en una institución publica estatal, este trabajo identifica, respecto del académico, algunas áreas que demandan una mayor atención. Las áreas identificadas se agrupan en seis categorías: (1) aspectos históricos; (2) información censal y características sociodemográficas; (3) la delimitación del trabajo académico; (4) la carrera …
Trade, Spatial Separation, And The Environment, M. Scott Taylor, Brian R. Copeland
Trade, Spatial Separation, And The Environment, M. Scott Taylor, Brian R. Copeland
M. Scott Taylor
We develop a simple two-sector dynamic model to show how pollution can provide a motive for trade by spatially separating incompatible industries. We assume that the production of "Smokestack" manufactures generates pollution, which lowers the productivity of an environmentally sensitive sector (Farming). Two identical, unregulated countries will gain from trade if the share of world income spent on the dirty good is high. In contrast, when the share of world income spend on the dirty good is low, trade can usher in a negatively reinforcing process of environmental degradation and real income loss for the exporter of Smokestack goods.
Impacts Of Strike Replacement Banks In Canada, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Impacts Of Strike Replacement Banks In Canada, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
In the labor relations area no issue generates as much controversy and division between labor and management as does the legislative ban on replacement workers. In the United States, the issue of a ban on permanent replacement workers has come before Congress four times since 1988, although the only action taken has been an executive order in 1995, banning the government from doing business with firms that use permanent replacements (Cramton and Tracy 1998). In Canada, where labor matters are under provincial jurisdiction, legislative bans on permanent replacement workers exist in most jurisdictions (except New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince …
The Effect Of Collective Bargaining Legislation On Strikes And Wages, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
The Effect Of Collective Bargaining Legislation On Strikes And Wages, Peter Cramton, Morley Gunderson, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
Using Canadian data on large, private-sector contract negotiations from January 1967 to March 1993, we find that wages and strikes are substantially influenced by labor policy. The data indicate that conciliation policies have largely been ineffective in reducing strike costs. In contrast, contract reopener provisions appear to make both unions and firms better off by reducing negotiation costs without systematically affecting wage settlements. Legislation banning the use of replacement workers appears to lead to higher strike costs both by increasing the frequency and duration of strikes.

Tiene un contenido, yo diría, de mucha actualidad, de mucha coyuntura pero que no se queda en la coyuntura. Hay una reflexión estructural de la coyuntura, además una reflexión teórica. Creo que aquí habría que establecer una discusión para definir el carácter de la revista. Si es que este mismo quiere ser o, en su defecto, quiere especializarse en uno de estos campos.
Institutional Changes And Discretionary Value For Property Rights In Drylands’ Farming Of The Sudan, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
Institutional Changes And Discretionary Value For Property Rights In Drylands’ Farming Of The Sudan, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
Research on land tenure and use control and the socioeconomic sets of regulations in the agricultural rainfed sub sector of Sudan, come to focus for many reasons. Anthropogenic pressure, expanding animal population and migration led to accelerated impacts on both the ecological systems and land yields. Conflicts between governmental regulations and indigenous rules contribute to generate inconsistencies on who have the right to till the land and hence own it. With such transformation logically, more intensive commercial farming took place and land intake exponentially increased. Private or collective property rights of land are procured through traditional tenure, prescription, settlement or …
Male Interracial Wage Differentials: Competing Explanations, Patrick Leon Mason
Male Interracial Wage Differentials: Competing Explanations, Patrick Leon Mason
Patrick L. Mason
Persistent interracial wage differentials present a challenge for neoclassical models of discrimination, which claim that long run competition is not consistent with persistent discrimination. Accordingly, several missing variable explanations are proposed in the literature. These modifications have two implications. One, interracial wage inequality is due to interracial inequality in pre-labor market factors. Two, there is no correlation between intergroup segregation and interracial wage differentials. However, the job competition model of discrimination argues that persistent wage discrimination and racial and gender employment segregation are causally related. Also, this model shows that racial discrimination is linked to the profit maximizing behavior of …
Executive Orders And Presidential Power, Kenneth R. Mayer
Executive Orders And Presidential Power, Kenneth R. Mayer
Kenneth R Mayer
This article reassesses the current paradigm of the presidential studies literature, which holds that presidents have limited capacity to act unilaterally or make policy decisions on their own. I explore how presidents have used executive orders as a way of implementing significant policies unilaterally.
Price Dynamics And Production Lags, Assar Lindbeck, Dennis Snower
Price Dynamics And Production Lags, Assar Lindbeck, Dennis Snower
Dennis Snower
This paper provides a new explanation of why inflation is sluggish in response to aggregate demand shocks and why aggregate output changes as result of such shocks. We argue that these phenomena are related to lags between inputs and outputs in the production process, “production lags” for short. The broad intuition is that production activities in a modern economy are interconnected thr ough complex input-output relations, with production lags within individual firms, and that it takes considerable time for cost and price changes to penetrate the entire inputoutput system. Our analysis provides a rationale for a prolonged inverse relation between …
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El resurgimiento de la cuestión local en Ecuador tiene lugar a fines de la década del setenta y principios del ochenta. Serán la descentralización y la modernización las que pongan al orden del día, el debate sobre la reforma del Estado en el que está inscripto el terna de lo local.
De aquella época para acá, se pueden percibir dos etapas en el proceso de descentralización. Una primera, que se la podría caracterizar como la vía municipal de fortalecimiento de lo local, a partir de la transferencia de recursos y competencias, así como de la ampliación de su base social …

The Role Of The Iso In U.S. Electricity Markets: A Review Of Restructuring In California And Pjm, Peter Cramton, Lisa Cameron
The Role Of The Iso In U.S. Electricity Markets: A Review Of Restructuring In California And Pjm, Peter Cramton, Lisa Cameron
Peter Cramton
Several regions of the U.S. have sought to restructure the electric power industry by separating the potentially competitive generation sector from the natural monopoly functions of electricity transmission and distribution. Under this restructuring scheme, a central authority, which we will refer to as the independent system operator (ISO), is given control over both the transmission system and the spot market for electricity. The ISO's role in managing the spot market is relatively uncontroversial. This is because the spot market takes place in real time and requires continuous physical adjustments to electricity supply and demand subject to complex constraints, such as …

La descentralización implica una readecuación de las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad civil que se expresa en la transferencia de competencias, de un orden central a otro de carácter provincial o cantonal.
El resurgimiento de la cuestión de lo local en el Ecuador tiene lugar a fines de la década del setenta y principios de ochenta, en el contexto de la redemocratización que vive el país. Serán la descentralización y la modernización las que pongan al orden del día el debate sobre la reforma del Estado, en el que está inscrito el tema de lo local.

Globalization And The U.S. Labor Market, Robert C. Shelburne
Globalization And The U.S. Labor Market, Robert C. Shelburne
Robert C. Shelburne
This paper, presented at the Eastern Economic Association in 1999, assesses the impact of globalization on the US labor market. It describes the numerous channels by which trade could have negatively impacted US wages and concludes that the current conventional wisdom that trade has not had a negative impact is not particularly robust.
Cyberspace: The Final Frontier?, Patrick Flanagan
Cyberspace: The Final Frontier?, Patrick Flanagan
Patrick Flanagan
The science fiction series of the '70's, Star Trek, began all its telecastings with the announcement "Space: The Final Frontier." Star Trek chronicled the voyage of a crew navigating their way through space. For the travelers, space seemed like the last unknown entity that needed to be investigated. As they journeyed, they learned of the boundless nature of space. Each episode portrayed a group of folks encountering new situations, attempting to solve another problem, or strategizing how to overcome an obstacle. While few people will ever have a chance to travel in a spaceship to discover the universe, most have …
