摘要:

Utilizing color‐specific data relating to the 100 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's), this study develops a simultaneous‐equations model of migration and urban change for white and nonwhite civilian labor force members. For both the white and nonwhite groups significant own‐group interactions are uncovered between migration and urban change. Significant interactions between the groups are also apparent. White civilian labor force members are found to be more responsive to the growth of (destination) Job opportunities than nonwhite civilian labor force members, while nonwhites are more responsive than whites to high (destination) income levels and income g

摘要:

A counterfactual model is used to determine if sex discrimination in salaries existed at Illinois State University. The analysis makes use of detailed peer evaluations of each faculty members's productivity in scholarly productivity, teaching, and service. The model is extended to examine the effects of Affirmative Action salary increments given female faculty members. Evidence of sex discrimination in salaries against female faculty is found. The Affirmative Action salary program erased this discrimination and introduced statistically significant discrimination against male faculty.

摘要:

In this paper the Averch‐Johnson thesis of a capital bias in regulated firms is examined empirically. This is accomplished by estimating a system of factor demand functions using individual plant data from the electric power industry. Results obtained do not provide support for the A‐J effect and it is suggested that there are a number of reasons this could have been expected a priori. finally, the implied parameters of the production function are derived and presented; the values are in line with other estimates of the production function for the electric power indus

摘要:

This paper investigates the behavior of a seller who has a preference for a certain group of customers. The seller maintains stable prices over time and supplements price rationing with a nonprice rationing. In this situation the preferred buyers would have priority over nonpreferred buyers in purchasing the commodity, and if the latter purchase the commodity they may be paying higher prices. It is proposed here that the premium paid by the nonpreferred buyers is a necessary bribe to induce the seller to forego his search for the preferred buyers.

摘要:

This paper analyzes the optimal harvest age of a forest if the forest provides a flow of valuable services while standing in addition to the value of the timber when it is harvested. A basic conclusion is that the presence of recreational or other services provided by a standing forest may well have an important impact on when or whether to harvest.

Racial differentials in home ownership rates are examined using data on households in the twenty‐four largest metropolitan areas. considerable recent reduction in racial discrimination is indicatd, in contrast to the findings of a previous analysis of the St. Louis housing market. The results are maintained under a number of modifications of the model and estimation techniqu

摘要:

Employing a sample of approximately 200 products, this study tests the hypothesis that specific tariffs exert a differential regressive effect on developing country exports. The analysis reveals that U.S. specific duties impose ad valorem equivalents on LDCs which are roughly double those on industrial countries. Further, an examination of the tariff structures of other developed nations shows that specific duties are used in a manner and frequency to pose significant trade barriers against LDC exports. While inflation is eroding the protective effect of these charges, they still pose a significant barrier to LDC products and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

摘要:

Workers' incentives to seek employment and remain employed are affected by a number of government policies. The policies themselves are in turn influenced by the political beliefs of the electorate about what working conditions and incomes should be. Using a simultaneous equations model of political climate and labor market conditions, this study shows that political liberalism may lead to decreased labor force participation and higher unemployment, particularly for women.

摘要:

A Neoclassical Monetary Growth Model is formulated in which income is taken to be exogenous. A rise in the expected rate of inflation raises the price level but has an effect of indeterminate sign on the rate of interest. An increase in the quantity of money causes a more‐than‐proportional increase in the price level so that velocity rises. Therefore money is not neutral in the short
