Regularity In The Distribution Of Participation In Group Discussions, Joseph B. Kadane, Gordon H. Lewis Sep 1968

Regularity In The Distribution Of Participation In Group Discussions, Joseph B. Kadane, Gordon H. Lewis

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Reports have been published indicating striking regularities in the distribution of participation in group discussions, regularities potentially important in the understanding of small group processes. Several attempts to explain the form of the regularity contain implications for many sociological analyses. These attempts to explain the regularity are found to be inadequate; at the same time, the regularity is found to be somewhat doubtful.

Stochastic Theories Of Participation, Joseph B. Kadane, Gordon H. Lewis, John G. Ramage

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A recent mathematical model by Horvath which predicts the process of participation in group discussions is compared to several alternative models. The models can be applied to data for which the basic unit is the act and to data for which the basic unit is a continuous sequence of acts. In both cases, when statistical tests of significance are employed, most of the more restrictive models are rejected.

The Distribution, When The Residuals Are Small, Of Statistics Testing Overidentifying Restrictions, Joseph B. Kadane Jun 1968

The Distribution, When The Residuals Are Small, Of Statistics Testing Overidentifying Restrictions, Joseph B. Kadane

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In the estimation of simultaneous equation econometric models, overidentifying restrictions improve estimates of the remaining parameters. Natural test statistics for the hypothesis that an equation is overidentified have been developed by Anderson and Rubin and by Basmann. If the residuals are jointly normal, serially uncorrelated, and small, both the above overidentification test statistics have the Snedecor F distribution asymptotically as the variance of the residuals get small. This gives analytic confirmation of Monte Carlo results of Basmann. The results given apply to linear models in which predetermined variables can be exogenous or lagged endogenous.

The Optimal Life Of A Patent, William D. Nordhaus Nov 1967

The Optimal Life Of A Patent, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

One of the important peculiarities of information is that it is expensive to produce but cheap to reproduce. How does a price system react to this phenomenon? One reaction will be to avoid the production of information altogether. Alternatively, firms may decide to keep their information to themselves. In other cases the price system breaks down into imperfect competition. All three of these laissez-faire reactions are inefficient and it may be argued that it is desirable to impose social controls like a patent system or government control on the market for information. In the present paper we discuss some economic …
