title: States and Political Intervention in Markets: A Case Study from Africa
title: Models of Policy Formation
titleType: AlternativeTitle
Creators: name: Bates, Robert H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: The paper describes agricultural policies in Africa and seeks to account for them.
Agricultural policy is defined as that set of decisions and choices by governments which influence the prices farmers face in the markets which determine the real value of their incomes. These include the markets for the commodities produced by farmers, the goods which they employ in farming, and the goods which they buy from urban industry.
The pattern of government intervention is highly adverse to the interests of most farmers. Governments lower the prices of farm products and adopt policies which raise the prices of commodities produced by urban industry. While they tend to subsidize the prices of farm inputs, the benefits of this policy are consumed by the privileged few.
The paper explores three explanations for the pattern of public policy. One treats the state as an agency for maximizing the welfare of society and sees policy choices as decisions made out of a regard for what is socially best. The second treats the government as an agency which responds to private interests and regards public policy as an outcome of lobbying efforts by groups seeking favorable decisions by governments. The third treats the government as an agency which seeks to retain political power and interprets policy as an instrument utilized by those who seek to control the behavior of their populations.
Each approach is shown to explain some but not all aspects of government policies toward farming in Africa. And of the three, the first is shown to be least satisfactory.

description: Groundwater is an essential natural resource that sustains numerous ecological systems and human lifestyles. The Jhargram district is facing persistent groundwater development issues, requiring comprehensive monitoring and planning, as most farmers heavily rely on groundwater for crop production. The groundwater potential zone of the Jhargram district was classified into five classes, viz., very high (5.82%), high (50.81%), moderate (30.33%), low (13.01%), and very low (0.03%), zones, respectively. The results were assessed for validity using ROC curves, which demonstrated an accuracy rate of 80.4%. The calculation of the AUC was performed in order to assess the overall accuracy of the predicted GWPZ. The GWPZ map is crucial for implementing artificial recharge structures like percolation ponds, bunds and trenching in semi-arid regions. It aids in developing sustainable groundwater management policies, mitigating drought, climate change, and water scarcity, and aiding farmers, regional planners, policy-makers, climate change experts, and local governments.

description: After analyzing (1) data aggregated to the congressional district level, and (2) individual level data from the 1978 CPS Study, Johannes and McAdams conclude that congressional casework has no electoral impact. This commentary explains such null findings as the product of oversimplistic expectations and methodological weaknesses. Specifically, the Johannes and McAdams aggregate data analysis is misspecified on two counts. First, it attempts to reduce to a single regression equation a temporal sequence in which casework activity and electoral outcomes are mutually intertwined. Second, even were such a drastic reduction possible, the single equation employed would be poorly specified because of inattention to the differential productivity of cases, constituents, and representatives. The individual level analysis also is rife with statistical problems chief among which is multicollinearity aggravated by small numbers of cases. Analyses which do what is possible to minimize such problems reveal a statistically and substantively significant impact of casework on electoral outcomes. Further analyses which go beyond the Johannes and McAdams limitation of casework effects to the individual(s) directly helped suggest that the electoral effects of an incumbent's reputation for service may approach the effects of party identification.

description: In the face of rapid urbanization in Saudi Arabia, understanding the impact of landscape changes on land surface temperature (LST) is crucial for sustainable urban planning. This study assesses the influence of landscape morphology on LST and predicts future LST changes. A multi-temporal land use and land cover (LULC) analysis using random forest (RF) quantified urban expansion and its ecological impacts. Accuracy assessment using the kappa coefficient illustrated the precision of the classification techniques. Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), developed in Python, analyzed the structural evolution of urban areas, vegetation and exposed rocks. Polynomial regression models established the relationship between landscape morphology and LST and predicted future temperature trends. Results for Asir show a significant improvement in accuracy of the LULC models over three decades, with overall accuracy increasing from 89.99% in 1990 to 91.72% in 2020. The bootstrapping trend analysis showed an urban expansion with a positive slope of 9.27 and a decline in water bodies with a negative slope of −0.03. The MSPA analysis reflected a significant urban expansion, with the core area growing from 45.19 km2 in 2001 to 230.33 km2 in 2021. The vegetated areas showed resilience and dynamic connectivity despite slight reduction and fragmentation. The polynomial regression predicted an increase in future average LST by 2030, with urban core areas reaching 58.47 °C, vegetated cores 42.19 °C and exposed rock cores 55.79 °C. These results highlight the link between urban expansion and LST rise and make the case for integrating green infrastructure and cooling strategies into urban development.

description: It is agreed that the degree of association between the presidential and congressional election results is an important "Constitutional" variable. But the significance of this association depends on whether it is due to extraneous forces or to the personal attractiveness of the president. In this paper we give a statistical basis for determining the dependence of the vote for members of the House on the attractiveness of the presidential candidate. Further, it is shown that their dependence has decreased rather sharply and is currently at a historical low point.

Regulation by Demand: A New Institutional Approach to the Natural Monopoly Problem
Creators: name: Kruse, Jörn
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: Regulation-by-demand, a new institutional design for the natural monopoly system, is based on the demanders' participation in the industry's regulatory process. Conventional rate of return regulation fails to implement allocative efficiency and is subject to significant limitations and distortions in its information processing, which prevents the preferences from being disclosed. It is suggested that, if a utility function that encompasses quality characteristics is considered, the failures in the industry's performance are even more severe than what is usually acknowledged. Regulation-by-demand provides allocatively functional incentives for reliable information processing and for efficient performance of the industry. It has significant advantages of institutional flexibility if the industry looses its natural monopoly properties.

description: Satellite-based monitoring provides insights on synergies and trade-offs between energy production and land use and land cover (LULC) changes (LULCC) around hydropower dams. Using Landsat data, we mapped LULCC related to hydropower expansion to understand change dynamics of cash crop production in the Magdalena River basin (Colombian Andes). We leveraged secondary map products and an active learning routine to produce thematically detailed LULC maps, for 2009, 2015, and 2020, including key cash crops (rice and oil palm). Our area-adjusted accuracy assessment revealed high overall and class-specific user’s and producer’s accuracies, exceeding 80% for oil palm, rice, non-agricultural vegetation, wetlands, and grasslands, and accuracies of ∼60% for other temporary and permanent crops. We identified substantial losses of rice (10,6%) and grasslands (25,9%) in El Quimbo due to reservoir flooding. For Hidrosogamoso, there was a loss of wetlands downstream. Our products provide the basis for balancing social, economic, and environmental trade-offs related to conflicting land uses.
Continuous Social Decision Procedures

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: Classical social decision procedures are supposed to map lists of preference orderings into binary relations which describe society's "preferences." But when there are infinitely many alternatives the resulting plethora of possible preference orderings make it impossible to differentiate "nearby" preference relations. If the preference information used to make social decisions is imperfect, society may wish to implement a continuous social decision procedure (SDP) so that nearby preference configurations will map into nearby social preference relations. It is shown here that a continuity requirement can severely restrict the admissible behavior of a social decision procedure. Furthermore a characterization of continuous SDPs is presented which facilitates the examination of such procedures and their relation to various voting mechanisms.

description: Parties to a contract often must engage in expenditures prior to the performance of the contract to either prepare for or make use of the performance of the contract. Legal institutions provide for contract enforcement either by specifically enforcing contractually specified actions or by requiring that the breacher pay the breachee an amount of money called damages. This paper analyzes the impact of varying the enforcement institution on the incentives to rely. An unambiguous ranking of specific performance and five damage measures are obtained in terms of efficiency of the reliance decision.

description: This study compares the performance of satellite precipitation products (SPPs) and soil moisture-based rainfall products (SM2RPPs) in capturing rainfall patterns in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The findings indicate that SPPs outperform SM2RPPs at daily to annual timescales. The decomposition of total bias reveals that hit bias are dominant, but are larger in magnitude in SM2RPPs. Systematic errors are the major component of hit biases, suggesting they could be further treated through bias-correction. Wavelet analysis indicates that SPPs and SM2RPPs well capture seasonal and annual rainfall variability. All products struggle to accurately represent the most extreme rainfall indices, with SPPs performing better than SM2RPPs. For meteorological droughts, RFE2 and CHIRPS show the strongest correlations with observed SPI values across 1- to 12-month timescales. Although SM2RPPs perform less than SPPs in Burkina Faso, they appear mature for hydrometeorological applications and could further benefit from bias-correction to attain similar or better performance than SPPs.

description: Decision makers often face complex problems, which can seldom be addressed without the use of structured analytical models. Mathematical models have been developed over the last 50 years to streamline and facilitate decision making activities. The Analytic Hierarchy Process constitutes one of the most utilized Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Methods. While AHP has been thoroughly researched and applied, the method still shows limitations in terms of integrating profile disparities of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). This thesis develops an analytical sensitivity analysis method for AHP based on local partial derivatives to address these limitations. Four examples are presented to demonstrate and validate the proposed methodology, to include aerospace and naval engineering applications.

description: This paper analyzes the behavior of a single firm engaged in R and D for a "sponsor." We are interested in two particular aspects of the interaction between the two agents: (1) the revelation to the sponsor of new information generated by the firm's research, and (2) the firm's choice of research strategy. We show that contractual forms which provide good incentives in a static environment may introduce incentive problems in a dynamic setting. More specifically, we show that a firm engaged in a sequence of R and D contracts is more likely to do research (1) the lower are the costs of R and D, (2) the better is the state of sponsor knowledge, and (3) the longer is the sequence of contracts (given an appropriately high discount factor). We also show that the firm reveals a larger share of its results (1) the better is the state of sponsor knowledge, (2) the better is the state of private knowledge possessed by the firm, and (3) the shorter is the sequence of contracts. Finally, somewhat surprisingly, we find that the amount of information a firm reveals is independent of the costs of R and D.

description: Observations on N cross-section units at T time points are used to estimate a simple statistical model involving an autoregressive process with an additive term specific to the unit. Different assumptions about the initial conditions are (a) initial state fixed, (b) initial state random, (c) the unobserved individual effect independent of the unobserved dynamic process with the initial value fixed, and (d) the unobserved individual effect independent of the unobserved dynamic process with initial value random. Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood and "covariance" estimators are obtained when T → ∞ and when N → ∞. The relationship between the pseudo and conditional maximum likelihood estimators is clarified. A simple consistent estimator that is independent of the initial conditions and the way in which T or N → ∞ is also suggested.

Revisionism Revised? Airline Deregulation and the Public Interest

description: This paper calls for a reexamination of modern theories of regulation in the light of recent deregulation activity. Modern "revisionist" theories of regulation are derived from Downs' demonstration that a public official will maximize his own welfare by pursuing policies which provide identifiable benefits to groups which are well-organized politically. Various commentators have explained the fact that much regulation is inefficient by showing that there are groups that benefit from the inefficient regulation and that those groups support both establishing and continuing regulation. These theories are couched in terms that do not predict or account for the dismantling of any regulatory scheme which is providing benefits to some groups at the expense of the general public. Unfortunately for this view of the process, the last several years have seen deregulation of airlines, trucking, brokerage commissions, cable television, and others. Perhaps "bad" regulation is the product of mistakes rather than the inevitable product of a democratic political system. Airline deregulation is examined in detail and seems to support resurrection in modified form of the "public interest" theory of regulatory origin previously thought obsolete.
description: An earlier and significantly less complete version of this paper was delivered at the Conference on Managing the Transition to Deregulation, held at Duke University, May 7-8, 1980. Michael J. Graetz and Alan Schwartz, my colleagues at Caltech and USC, were extremely generous with their help and provided many useful comments.

description: Sphiggurus spinosus (F. Cuvier 1823)
[Coendou] spinosus F. Cuvier 1823, Mem. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, 9: 433.
Type Locality: Paraguay, along the Paraná River.
Vernacular Names: Paraguaian Hairy Dwarf Porcupine.
Synonyms: Sphiggurus affinis (Brandt 1835); Sphiggurus nigricans (Brandt 1835); Sphiggurus paragayensis (Oken 1816); Sphiggurus roberti (Thomas 1902); Sphiggurus sericeus (Cope 1889).
Distribution: Paraguay, S and E Brazil, NE Argentina, Uruguay.
Conservation: CITES – Appendix III (Uruguay); IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Possibly restricted to the shores of the Paraná River. Formerly included in Coendou; see Husson (1978) and comments under Sphiggurus. Emmons and Feer (1997:221) considered paragayensis to be a separate species (Paraguay Hairy Dwarf Porcupine). Cabrera (1961:602) noted that Oken’s names are not recognized, but if Oken’s name is accepted, the type species for Sphiggurus becomes paragayensis (see Tate, 1935:307). Emmons and Feer (1997) included villosus and suggested that spinosus may intergrade with insidosus.

Security Interests and Bankruptcy Priorities: A Review of Current Theories

description: This paper reviews positivist theories respecting why
firms issue secured debt and normative theories purporting to justify the first priority status that secured debt occupies in bankruptcy liquidations. It shows that both sets of theories leave much firm behavior and legal regulation unaccounted for. The current consensus to the contrary among legal scholars is thus misplaced.

description: Fish population abundance and age structure is primarily determined through annual recruitment success (i.e., early life growth and survival through periods of heightened vulnerability). Many physical and biological processes contribute to fish early life growth and survival. Determining the relative contribution of these to annual recruitment variation is challenging owing to the multiple scales across which highly variable processes influence early life growth, mortality, and eventual survival. Elucidating these mechanisms are increasingly complicated by climate change and various anthropogenic stressors as conditions deviate from historic baselines. Thus, while traditional correlative approaches are often sufficient in explaining broad-scale patterns in historic recruitment variation, they are often unable to elicit processes at finer scales of potential importance and forecast future recruitment potential under climate change. Approaches that a) leverage mechanisms withstanding more than a century of research, and b) attempt to account for spatial and temporal scale-dependencies may promote a new understanding of conditions structuring annual patterns in recruitment and advance forecasting of future recruitment potential. Here, we used statistical and mechanistic modeling strategies to explore patterns in alewife and yellow perch recruitment in large lake ecosystems (i.e., the Laurentian Great Lakes). In chapter 2, we investigated nonstationary shifts in yellow perch stock-recruitment relationships in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. In chapter 3, we explore climate-induced physical transport phenologies of larval fish and consider the consequences of transport to experienced thermal conditions and encountered prey availability. Finally, in chapter 4, we investigated spatial scales of recruitment variation in a large lake to understand the relative influence of fine-scale asynchrony in structuring broader patterns in historic and potential future recruitment potential.
A Class of Differential Games Where the Closed-Loop and Open-Loop Nash Equilibria Coincide

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: It is well known that, in general, Nash equilibria in
open-loop strategies do not coincide with those in closed-loop strategies. This note identifies a class of differential games in which the Nash equilibrium in closed-loop strategies is degenerate in the sense that it depends on time (t) only. Consequently, the closed-loop equilibrium is also an equilibrium in open-loop strategies.

description: Multispectral (MS) images offer essential spectral information for monitoring paddy crops’ Aboveground-biomass (AGB), but efficiency decreases due to background materials and high canopy biomass. Texture reveals canopy structure and can be employed in vegetation-indices (VIs) to enhance monitoring accuracy. This study focuses to estimate AGB of paddy crop by exploring the combined potential of spectral and textural features of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-MS images using linear regression (LR), multi-linear regression (MLR), and random forest (RF) models. Results demonstrate that near infrared (NIR)-based VIs outperform Colour-Indices. Normalised difference texture indices (NDTIs) composed of NIR, red-edge (RE) and blue (B) bands outperform all-evaluated VIs and grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-textures for different growth stages. Combining VIs and NDTIs, RF performs best compared to other models. The outcomes suggest that the combined spectral and texture information can significantly improve estimation of AGB in paddy crops compared to using either of them alone.
