Demand Uncertainty and the Regulated Firm

description: Demand uncertainty is an important element of many regulated markets. Firms often must select plant size before actual demand is observed, and with some expectation of regulatory action if the actual levels of profit or rate of return do not fall within accepted ranges.
We analyze a model of a regulated firm that faces a relatively complex regime of price regulation, reflecting to at least some extent the multiple aspects suggested by Joskow (1974). The firm behaves as though it expects the current tariff to remain in effect unless, at the actual demand observed after plant size is chosen, one of two things occurs. First, if profits are negative, the firm plans to petition for and expects to receive a new tariff yielding zero economic profits. Second, if the rate of return on capital exceeds some specified maximum, the firm expects the regulator to reduce the tariff so that the firm earns only that maximum.

Uncertainty and the Theory of Tax Incidence in a Stock Market Economy

description: [Introduction] Commencing with Harberger's (1962) classic paper, a number of
studies have analyzed the incidence of taxation in the context of
a deterministic, two-sector, two-factor general equilibrium model.
Recently, R. N. Batra (1975) and R. A. Ratti and P. Shame (1977a, 1977b)
have reexamined the robustness of these deterministic results for the
case in which production uncertainty is incorporated into the model.
By using "entrepreneurial" models in which the firm is assumed to
maximize the expected utility of profits, they find that the
incidence of taxes depends on the preferences and probability assessments
of the entrepreneur, and in general, the deterministic results no
longer obtain.

Diet as a Factor Affecting Organochlorine Contamination of Breast Milk

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: We report here on the effect of a vegetarian diet on organochlorine concentration in human breast milk, and the role of dairy fats within the vegetarian diet. Since the pioneering work by Laug et al. in 1951, the presence and concentration of organochlorines in breast milk have been well established through direct measurement (1). There are also a small number of studies investigating the possible factors determining residue concentrations, but nearly all of these studies are univariate; i.e., they consider only one factor at a time. A notable exception is Bradt and Herrenkohl (2), who used a multivariate approach. In two of the three statistical procedures reported below, we follow Bradt and Herrenkohl, and we use regression analysis to investigate the possible effects of diet, while controlling for other factors previously identified. The organochlorines considered here are: DDE, p, p^1-DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, oxychlordane, S-BHC, TNC, HCB, and AR-1254 (PCB). All were banned or under restricted use prior to the study, so that there is relatively little exposure through direct spraying of food crops.

Dubault et al., 2008: 200, 207 (‘Angkor’); Roux et al., 2016: 76.
DIAGNOSIS. A medium-sized species defined chiefly by sharply carinate inclination of prosternal process. Mandibles laterally rounded; antennal scape barely shorter than antennomeres 2 to 4 combined; pronotal base impunctate between basal foveae, median line obliterate basally. Elytral microsculpture hardly traceable, consisting of moderately transverse meshes. Internal sac of aedeagus (Fig. 110) with basal bulb hooked (all males examined).
REDESCRIPTION. Aedeagus (Figs 100–105, 108–110, 113–115, 138–139): slightly asymmetrical in dorsal/ventral view, with left margin angulate at middle, indistinctly sinuate between the angle and apex, this latter curved barely to the left. Internals sac in lateral view at right angle with apical half of aedeagus; with preapical bulb and preapical vesicle large, distal vesicle small and situated on right side of base of dorsal sclerite; distal part with a low yet distinct dorsoapical bulb.
HABITATS AND HABITS. This species appears to be eurybiotic rather than forest-dwelling. Four specimens examined were taken along forest edges at light, and the other four were hand collected along roads or in a cropfield.
COMMENTS. This species is here subdivided into two subspecies. These have hitherto been recognized as separate species, both being rather different in appearance. But their aedeagi, with internal sacs, are very similar and thus argue for the contrary.

description: Recently two game theoretic interpretations of social choice procedures have been offered. First, Wilson (1970) and Plott, (1974) suggested that, for each environment, the value of a choice function might constitute a "solution" or stable set that could arise from the play of some underlying cooperative game. In this view, and important problem is to determine if and under what conditions a given solution concept (or notion of stability) can, for some game, characterize the behavior of a given social choice function.
Secondly, social choice functions have been interpreted as collections of equilibria of an underlying noncooperative game (see Gibbard (1973), Peleg (1978), Maskin (1977), and Ferejohn and Grether (1979). In this framework, one major problem is to determine for a given equilibrium correspondence of a suitably chosen noncooperative game. A closely related problem is to determine which noncooperative games possess nonempty equilibrium correspondences of various sorts.
In this paper, we pursue a cooperative game-theoretic interpretation of social choice. And in particular we show that, if a social choice function arises as a Von Neumann Morgenstern solution in each environment, then it is essentially oligarchical in exactly the same sense that "core" selecting choice functions are oligarchic. The conditions under which this conclusion is obtained are, in fact, slightly more restrictive than those for the results on core selecting choice functions but are still weak enough that our result applies to almost any commonly occurring voting scale.

description: This paper is a preliminary investigation of some critical concepts of allocative economics to determine the extent to which benefit-cost analysis of the CFC problem can make an economic contribution to the decision-making processes of society. If our conclusions are, in the main, correct, they will act inevitably to weaken the faith that can be reposed in a benefit-cost analysis or, at least, to restrict its range of application.

Keeping Score: An Actuarial Approach to Zero-Infinity Dilemmas
Creators: name: Page, Talbot
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: A "zero-infinity dilemma", where there is presumed to be a very low ("nearly zero") probability of a very high ("nearly infinite") cost, is the least tractible yet most important type of risk problem associated with evaluating prospective energy alternatives. The term has often been used to describe the nature of the risk associated with nuclear power and many of the best known examples have been drawn from this field, but this type of risk problem is associated with the other main energy alternatives as well. In the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, for just one example, large scale release of aromatic hydrocarbons poses another zero-infinity dilemma, with the risk of cancer and mutation.
The obvious difficulty in dealing with zero-infinity dilemmas is that there is little or no direct historical record to develop probability estimates based upon frequency. By way of illustration, in its summary the Rasmussen report predicts that there is a one in five billion chance, per reactor year, of a catastrophic core meltdown. But the direct historical record of so many hundred reactor years with no meltdown is not greatly reassuring. This negative information, however welcome, is compatible with a one in a thousand chance of catastrophic meltdown as well as the one-in-five-billion Rasmussen estimate. The actuarial record, taken in simple terms of meltdowns per reactor year, is far too short to discriminate between the two. Nor do we want to wait for a long record of history of reactor years in order to develop an estimate of the probability of meltdown. On the contrary, we need the estimate of probability before a large scale program is undertaken, in order to decide upon the safety features and the scale of the program.

The Slowdown in Productivity Advances: A Dynamic Explanation
Creators: name: Klein, Burton H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1979

description: How is the slowdown in the U.S. rate of productivity advance (see Figures I and II) to be explained? Quite obviously, before it can be explained the principal determinants of the rate of productivity advance need to be known. Many people believe that productivity advances are quite automatic, and were it not for such external factors as regulation and inflation or the declining growth rate there would be no slowdown. But without knowing what determines the rate of productivity increase how can we be sure?
description: Acknowledgments: The present draft of this paper benefited from criticisms of previous drafts by Ronald Braeutigam, Bruce Cain, Chris Hill, Roger Noll, Edward Posner, Louis Wilde, and James Quirk.

description: It is the purpose of this paper to show that certain results (derived from rational expectations monetary models where real balance services enter the utility function directly) —such as (1) an increase in the mean of the rate of growth of the money supply induces a welfare loss and (2) an increase in the variance of the rate of growth of the money supply may cause an increase in welfare—are not dependent upon the Friedman-Patinkin-Samuelson device of inserting real balances into the utility function.

description: A review of the Political Business Cycle (PBC) literature provides grounds for cautious optimism: the literature is cumulative and it exhibits steady theoretical advancement. Early contributions focused primarily on the demand side of the system, i.e. do voters react to economic fluctuations in simple, direct, self-interested fashion (e.g. Kramer, 1971)? More recently, the supply side of the system has attracted attention: do governments stimulate their economies in the period prior to elections then dampen those economies after the electoral challenge is past (e.g. Nordhaus, 1975)? And in current research scholars have begun to integrate the two sides of the system as part of what ultimately may become a reasonable general equilibrium model of the PBC (e.g. Fair, 1975; Frey and Schneider, 1978a).

Zimbabwe • 1 ♀; Matabeleland; Bulawayo, Hillside; 20°10'S, 28°38'E; 28 Feb. 1999; M. FitzPatrick leg.; pitfall traps; NMZ / A 13896.
Remarks.
A clearly different female to the two species described above was discovered in the NMZ collection. The sclerotised ridges are more posteriorly positioned than in F. distincta sp. nov. and F. flavipoda sp. nov., and it shares the large ST II of the former species and small mesal hood of the latter (compare Fig. 9 G – J). However, the specimen is in a very poor condition, with most of the leg segments detached and the body colouration faded, suggesting that it may have dried out in the past. However, the carapace shape, eye sizes and arrangement, and dense scopulae on the anterior legs are consistent with females of F. distincta sp. nov., indicating that it is possibly congeneric. As such, despite the distinctive epigynal morphology, description of this species should be based on fresh material in the future.

The Role of Money in Supporting the Pareto Optimality of Competitive Equilibrium in Consumption-Loan Type Models
Creators: name: Cass, David
name: Okuno, Masahiro
name: Zilcha, Itzhak
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1978

description: Perhaps the single most enduring theme in economics is that of the social desirability of the competitive mechanism. In its modern form, this theme occurs as the two basic theorems of welfare economics (see, in particular, Arrow). Our central concern in this paper is with the validity of the first of these two theorems—that every competitive equilibrium yields a Pareto optimal allocation—in idealized yet plausible models of intertemporal allocation in a market economy.

Metropolitan Fragmentation and Decentralized Control of Revenue Resources
Creators: name: Miller, Gary J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1978

description: There seems to be an inescapable conflict between one group of individuals who maintain that multiple local governments are necessary for allocational efficiency, and another group who maintain that fragmentation of local government necessarily leads to an inequitable allocation of resources among income classes. It is the purpose of this note to clarify, if not resolve this conflict by pointing out that the allocational advantages of metropolitan fragmentation derive from one function of local government, while the redistributional disadvantages derive largely from a different function. It is theoretically possible, therefore, to have a just and efficient organization of metropolitan government by centralizing one function of local government.

Efficient Intertemporal Allocation, Consumption-Value Maximization and Capital-Value Transversality: A Unified View
Creators: name: Cass, David
name: Majumdar, Mukul
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1978

description: In recent years, based on Malinvaud's seminal work, there have been a number of important contributions towards resolving the following fundamental question: What observable properties characterize some (all) competitive price system(s) associated with an efficient growth path? The natural focus in efforts to answer this question has been on the dynamical behavior of capital-value--"natural" in the sense that Malinvaud's theorem establishes that, under very general conditions, efficient growth is tantamount to the existence of an associated competitive price system with the special property that, in every period, capital-value is minimized among all potential growth paths yielding the same stream of consumption goods thereafter. In other words, dealing with the question eventually reduces to looking for a more concrete version of Malinvaud's capital-value minimization condition.

The Commercialization of Agriculture and the Rise of Rural Political Protest in Black Africa
Creators: name: Bates, Robert H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1978

description: Throughout the developing world, the commercialization of agriculture has been highly ambiguous in its effects. On the one hand, it has brought prosperity to rural farm families. On the other, it has produced political grievances and generated social conflict. These paradoxical consequences have been as true in Africa as they have elsewhere in the developing world. In this essay, I look at the relationship between the commercialization of agriculture and the rise of political protest, in that continent. And I do so by addressing the question: Why would rural dwellers find it reasonable to demand political action in support of their efforts to make themselves economically better off by seeking to take advantage of commercial markets for their products?

description: Ghana and Kenya constitute two of the most prominent cases of the agricultural development in colonial Africa. In the one case, producer interests became paramount in the colonial period; in the other, the interests of producers were sacrificed to those of other sectors. This paper examines the divergent patterns of growth of commercial agriculture in Ghana and Kenya and tries to account for the contrasting outcomes of the process of agrarian development.

Intervening in Markets on the Basis of Imperfect Information: A Legal and Economic Analysis
Creators: name: Schwartz, Alan
name: Wilde, Louis L.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1978

description: A common justification for recent interventions in consumer markets which ban or require particular contract terms or require firms to disclose information is that consumers are imperfectly informed respecting the transactions they make. It is generally recognized, however, that information is never perfect, and that the decision-maker's task is therefore to characterize, in terms of the need for intervention, real world states intermediate between perfect information and perfect ignorance. These decisions are now made in what can politely be described as an impressionistic fashion because lawyers have no rigorous tools for responding to information problems. In recent years, economists have developed a variety of models that begin to explain the behavior of markets characterized by imperfect information. These models, however, have been almost inaccessible to lawyers because of their mathematical complexity. It is our aim in this paper to communicate to lawyers the insights relevant to law reform provided by the new "economics of information."
