Classification of Voting Games on Manifolds
Creators: name: Schofield, Norman
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: A voting game σ is classified by two integers v*(σ),w*(σ),(v*(σ) < w*(σ)). In dimension < w*(σ) the existence of the σ-core is structurally stable (in the c^1-topology on smooth profiles); in dimension > v*(σ) the emptiness of the σ-core is structurally stable.

A Spatial Model for Legislative Roll Call Analysis

Year: 1983
Subjects: Legislators, Voting, Coordinate systems, Mathematical models, Geometric mean, Spatial models, Modeling, Congressional voting, Senators, Utility functions

description: A general nonlinear logit model is used to analyze political choice data. The model assumes probabilistic voting based on a spatial utility function. The parameters of the utility function and the spatial coordinates of the choices and the choosers can all be estimated on the basis of observed choices. Ordinary Guttman scaling is a degenerate case of this model. Estimation of the model is implemented in the NOMINATE program for one dimensional analysis of two alternative choices with no nonvoting. The robustness and face validity of the program outputs are evaluated on the basis of roll call voting data for the U.S. House and Senate. Extensive Monte Carlo studies are also presented. Substantive applications using the results for the Senate are briefly illustrated.

The Political Foundations of Regulatory Policy
Creators: name: Noll, Roger G.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983
Subjects: Political regulation, Economic regulation, Industrial regulation, Regulatory legislation, Revenue regulations, Commercial regulation, Environmental regulation, Aviation regulation, Administrative agencies, Political parties

description: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the political economic theory of regulatory policy in two ways. One is to examine regulation in relation to other policies that might be seen as alternatives to it. Existing theory argues that regulation is likely to be too particularistic and cumbersome to serve the efficiency objectives that constitute its justifications in welfare economics; however the relative performance of regulation in comparison with other approaches to the same types of problems has not been extensively explored. The second aspect of this paper is that it examines the relationship of the performance of regulation to the basic political structure of a country: whether legislatures are elected on the basis of proportional representation or from single-representative constituencies, and whether a country has a parliamentary system or separate, autonomous legislative and executive branches. By broadening the range of policies analyzed and the political institutions in which it operates, the possibility is created tor making useful international comparisons of the performance of alternative approaches to the market-failure problems that are associated with regulatory policies.

The Geometry of Voting
Creators: name: Schofield, Norman
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: For any non collegial voting game, σ, there exists a stability dimension v*(σ), which can be readily computed. If the policy space has dimension no greater than v*(σ) then no local σ-cycles may exist, and under reasonable conditions, a σ-core must exist. It is shown here, that there exists an open set of profiles, V, in the c1 topology on smooth profiles on a manifold W of dimension at least v*(σ)+1, such that for each profile in v, there exist local σ-cycles and no σ-core.

Social Equilibrium and Cycles on Compact Sets
Creators: name: Schofield, Norman
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: One proof of existence of general equilibrium assumes convexity and continuity of a preference correspondence on a compact convex feasible set W. Here we show the existence of a local equilibrium for a preference field which satisfies, not convexity, but the weaker local acyclicity. The theorem is then applied to a voting game, σ, without veto players. It is shown that if the dimension of the policy space is no greater than v(σ)-2, where v(σ) is the Nakumura number of the game, then no local cycles may occur and a local equilibrium must exist. With convex preferences then there will exist a choice of the game from W.

Coalitions in West European Democracies
Creators: name: Schofield, Norman
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: The duration and type of coalition governments in twelve European countries in the period 1945-1983 are considered. It is argued that the distribution of party size, on a one dimensional policy dimension, conditions the bargaining process between parties and thus the type of coalition that forms and the average duration of government. On this basis the twelve countries are divided into four groups.

description: Existence of equilibrium of a continuous preference relation p or correspondence P on a compact topological space W can be proved either by assuming acyclicity or convexity (no point belongs to the convex hull of its preferred set). Since both properties may well be violated in both political and economic situations, this paper considers instead a "local" convexity property appropriate to a "local" preference relation or preference field. The local convexity property is equivalent to the nonexistence of "local" cycles. When the state space W is a convex set, or is a smooth manifold of a certain topological type, then the "local" convexity property is sufficient to guarantee the existence of a set of critical optima.

Estimation of a Nested Logit Model for Appliance Holdings
Creators: name: Dubin, Jeffrey A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: This paper estimates a discrete choice model for room air conditioning, central air conditioning, space heating, and water heating, using data from two recent surveys of energy consumption by households—the 1978 National Interim Energy Consumption Survey (NIECS) and the 1980 Pacific Northwest Energy Survey (PNW). Estimation for these two data sets proceeds in parallel so that results based on the national level survey may be compared with those derived from Pacific Northwest regional data. We are thus able to address the important issue of model transferability.
The estimated structure involves a ten alternative logit model of space heat/air-conditioning system choice. We first match a time path of operating costs to each household using historical state level energy prices and then analyze the role of price expectation formation in the choice of heating and cooling equipment for single family owner occupied dwellings. We compare a basic static expectation model with two alternative models: perfect foresight over a limited planning horizon and adaptive expectation formation.
Finally we consider alternative conservation policies and alternative scenarios for the prices of electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil in order to predict the path of durable saturations from present to the year 2000.

Imperfect Information in Markets for Contract Terms: The Examples of Warranties and Security Interests

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: Consumer prices, Security interests, Imperfect information, Warranties, Contracts, Consumer preferences, Shopping, Comparative advantage, Consumer goods, Consumer economics

description: The existence of imperfect information is thought to provide firms with incentives to degrade contract quality by supplying terms that well-informed consumers would refuse. We show, in contrast, that these incentives are weaker than is commonly supposed; rather, when consumers gather relatively little information, the profit maximizing strategy for firms is likely to involve offering the contract terms that consumers prefer, but at supracompetitive prices. In consequence, a standard state response to imperfect information problems, regulating the substantive terms of transactions, is often misplaced. When imperfect information exists, the state instead should reduce the costs to consumers of comparison shopping for contract terms, because such shopping reduces prices and also reduces further the incentive of firms to degrade contract quality.

Law Center Faculty Workshop, a seminar in Contract Theory held at the Berkeley Law School and a faculty workshop at the University of Virginia. Melvin A. Eisenberg, Will T. Jones, Margaret Jane Radin, Robert E. Scott and Matthew Spitzer also made very helpful suggestions.

The form of an optimal strategy is characterized and certain comparative statics results derived. Of particular interest is the possibility that an increase in search costs might actually increase pre-initial purchase search.

A Two-Stage Model of Research and Development with Endogenous Second-Mover Advantages
Creators: name: Reinganum, Jennifer F.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: This paper describes a simple two-stage model of research and development, in which the "winner" of the research stage has the option of moving first in the development stage. Some peculiar results emerge: in equilibrium, the leader in the development stage invests less than each follower, and is consequently least likely to collect the patent. Moreover, the leader receives a lower expected payoff than each of the followers. Thus there are endogenous second-mover advantages. Using a game of timing (in which the identity of the Stackelberg leader is determined) to link the two stages, we find that firms face quite different incentives in the research stage. Although the leader invests less than each follower in the research stage as well, the leader enjoys higher expected revenue from the complete (two-stage) game than does each follower. The equilibrium is inefficient because there is a lag between the time at which research is completed and the time at which development is begun, and because aggregate investment is inefficiently (asymmetrically) distributed across firms.

Income Tax Compliance in a Principal-Agent Framework
Creators: name: Reinganum, Jennifer F.
name: Wilde, Louis L.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: Previous analyses have modeled income tax evasion as a "portfolio problem," deriving the optimal consumption of the "risky asset" (unreported income) under the assumption of a fixed probability of detection, The purpose of this paper is to examine some of these issues in tax compliance starting from a different set of assumptions. In particular, we compare alternative audit policies to the standard random audit policy. We focus on an "audit cutoff" policy, in which an agent triggers an audit if his or her reported income is "too low," and is not audited if reported income is "sufficiently high."
This paper establishes two major results. First, random audit rules are weakly dominated by audit cutoff rules. It can be shown, given lump-sum taxes and fines, that these audit cutoff rules are the least-cost policies which induce truthful reporting of income. Second, the dominance of audit cutoff rules over random audit rules holds for "lump-sum" as well as proportional taxation—in fact, the equilibrium consequences of the two are equivalent.

The Images of Incumbents in Great Britain and the United States
Creators: name: Cain, Bruce E.

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: Incumbents in single member, simple plurality systems strive to develop name recognition and positive images of themselves. We propose to analyze the images that constituents in Great Britain and the United States have of their MPs and Congressmen and to measure the impact which incumbent activities have on those images. We also examine the normative expectations that constituents in both countries have of their representatives and how these expectations shape their evaluations.
The data for this study comes from matching elite and voter surveys in Great Britain and the United States. Our results can be summarized as follows: 1) a large percentage of constituents in both countries believe that casework and protecting district interests are the most important functions of the  representative; 2) those from working class, less well educated backgrounds are more inclined to prefer a service role for their representative than a policy role; 3) the evaluations that constituents have of their representatives reflects the importance of constituency service in their priorities as well; and 4) that representatives who undertake high levels of constituency service have better constituent images than other representatives.

A Theory of the Choice of Regulatory Form
Creators: name: McCubbins, Mathew D.
name: Page, Talbot
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: Various pieces of federal legislation attempt to regulate hazards associated with chemicals, food additives, drugs, consumer products, pesticides, airborne and waterborne pollutants. This legislation spans many decades and varies in the kinds of regulatory mechanisms created and in the degree of discretionary authority granted to regulatory officials. The stated goals of this legislation are to identify and prevent significant health and environmental hazards before they become widely dispersed throughout our society and economy. Despite their seemingly broad and straightforward congressional mandates, however, implementation of these programs has been slow. In this paper we will present a model of governmental regulatory choice. The model is based upon the behavior of institutional actors in the decision process—legislators, bureaucrats, and interest groups. The model will relate the institutional motivations of these actors and the influence of environmental factors, such as decision uncertainty and group conflict of interest, to the choice of regulation. It will be deduced that increased uncertainty over the impact of proposed regulations will induce the legislature not only to delegate the choice of regulation to an administrative agency but also to provide the agency with increased substantive discretionary authority and increased procedural decision making requirements. Conflicting interest group p references, for a given level of uncertainty, will reinforce these tendencies. The model and these results will be employed to develop a systematic explanation for the performance of environmental, health and safety regulation. A few illustrations are presented to explore the validity of this explanation.

title: Policy First or Science First: Two Approaches in the Management of Risk
title: Economics and Risk Assessment
titleType: AlternativeTitle
Creators: name: Page, Talbot
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1983

description: This paper compares two approaches toward handling of uncertainty in public policy decisions. In one approach, "science first," scientific questions of fact are addressed first. Once it is concluded that there is a high probability that there is a problem (for example that a chemical is a carcinogen) then the analysis proceeds to value questions, where the costs and benefits of possible remedies are weighed. In the alternative approach, "policy first," value questions are addressed from the beginning. The potential costs and benefits of wrong decisions are considered from the start, along with judgments about the probabilities of false positives and false negatives. This analysis leads to the identification of the scientific uncertainties most critical for the public policy decision; it suggests the most important areas for research; and it guides decisions of what to do in the meantime, for precautionary actions.
The discussion is undertaken in terms of a particular public policy problem, management of municipal wastewater disposal in coastal waters.

(Figs 1, 12, 13−14)
Type material. Holotype: male, C[entral]. Vietnam, Thue Thien Hue Prov., A Ruang, 663 m, 16°04’N; 107°51’E, 24– 27.0 4.2009, leg. V. Zolotuhin & A. Gurkovich (MWM); paratype: male, same locality and data (RYB).
Diagnosis. The new species most closely resembles I. retak and I. vandeldeni, but is readily distinguished by the structure of the male genitalia. It differs from I. retak by more developed sacculus along with slightly curved costal edge of valva and more massive processes of transtilla, and from I. vandeldeni by longer processes of the transtilla, the smooth dorsal edge of valve, and thin uncus.
Description. Forewing length 24 mm in the holotype (22 mm in the paratype), wingspan 52 mm in the holotype (49 mm in the paratype). Antennae bipectinate, processes of antenna strongly cut in distal third (in comparison with length of processes of proximal part of antenna). Tegula pale brown. Thorax with spot of flour white hairs from above. Forewing rather narrow, with rounded apex, flour white with fine grey pattern, base of forewing with rounded black spot on costal edge. All area of forewing with fine grey wavy pattern. Cubital zone of forewing discal area with light brown field. Hindwing grey without pattern. Fringe of both wings checkered, dark near veins and pale between them.
Male genitalia typical for the genus, uncus stout with slightly developed incisure; tegumen medium-sized; branches of gnathos rather stout, medium-sized; gnathos stout, densely covered by small thorns; processes of transtilla massive, hook-like, with thick bases and pointed tips, as long as 1/3 of valva; juxta small, heavily sclerotized, with long oar-like lateral processes situated at 100º to each other, length of juxta processes equal to length of transtilla processes; valvae rather broad, with well-developed sacculus, their distal fourth membranous, transition zone between proximal sclerotized part and distal membranous part unsharp, costal edge of valva slightly curved; saccus semicircular, rather massive. Aedeagus thick, strongly arched at medium third, slightly shorter than valva, pore of vesica in dorso-apical position and occupying 2/5 of aedeagus length, vesica without cornuti.
Female unknown.
Etymology. The new species is named after a well known Russian lepidopterist Dr. Vadim Zolotuhin (Ulyanovsk), a specialist in Macroheterocera.
Ecology. Specimens were attracted by light trap at the end of April, in a primary tropical forest at 663 m.

description: This paper reviews the theory of price specification and considers the comparative static analysis of demand subject to alternative rate schedules. An econometric analysis of the 1975 Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies survey resolves four empirical issues related to the estimation of the demand for electricity: (1) measured average price and measured marginal price are statistically endogenous so that least squares technique s are not appropriate for the determination of price and income elasticities, (2) while the rate structure premium (RSP ) has established theoretical merit its statistical contribution is negligible, (3) consumer behavior in the demand for electricity follows the marginal price rather than the average price specification, and (4) estimates of price responsiveness are not statistically different using the tail-end price rather than the true marginal price. We demonstrate a practical way of making probabilistic comparisons between alternative rate schedules which is applied in several examples to illustrate the prevalence of block switching. The methodology is easily applied to inverted tariff schedules even when structural parameters have been determined from a cross-section of individuals who face declining block rates.
