The Inherent Predictability of Legislative Votes: The Perils of Successful Prediction
Creators: name: Weisberg, Herbert F.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: Most social science fields find prediction, even in the post-diction sense, to be very difficult. Predictive accuracy is generally low. Thus one would expect great enthusiasm once a field is able to move up to 80-90 percent correct prediction. This level has now been achieved in the legislative roll call analysis area. That would seem to suggest an important theoretical breakthrough has occurred in the area--until it becomes apparent that this same level of predictive success has been achieved by several different and competing theories. How does one go about choosing between theories in such situations? Are statistical criteria irrelevant at this juncture? How is this uniformly high success to be explained?

Bureaucratic Compliance as a Game on the Unit Square
Creators: name: Miller, Gary J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: Already a fairly large body of literature has developed using Niskanen's theory as a starting point, showing how changes in Niskanen's assumptions can lead to a more realistic, yet still rigorous theory of bureaucratic behavior. This paper will review some of the more important elaborations of Niskanen's theory to date and suggest a still more fundamental alteration of the assumption set. Basically, this paper will argue that the bureau head's supply decision cannot be regarded as an isolated decision, constrained by a fixed budget-output schedule. Rather, the bureau head's supply decision and the sponsor's budget appropriation decision must be analyzed in strategic interaction. This perspective suggests a game-theoretic model and permits the analyst to ask questions about the uniqueness and efficiency of joint solutions that are difficult or impossible to investigate with simpler models.
description: The author, an assistant professor at California Institute of Technology, wishes to express his appreciation to Joe Oppenheimer and Norman Frohlich for their helpful advice and encouragement during work on early drafts of this paper, and to William Niskanen for his thoughtful critique and suggestions.

Dynamic and Static Components of Political Support in Britain

Subjects: Political parties, Political partisanship, Voting, Conservatism, Voting behavior, Political attitudes, Social structures, Political systems, Socioeconomics

description: This paper will consider a model of the British electorate which tries to account for both exogenous structural and endogenous political factors. The specification of the proposed model will be discussed in some detail and compared with the Butler and Stokes paradigm, which places almost exclusive emphasis on exogenous structural factors. The estimates obtained from a multivariate regression are then used to measure the relative impact of structural and political components on individual preferences and to draw inferences about the sources of electoral change in Britain. We will then confront the other half of the problem; namely, can a model which incorporates a significant endogenous component successfully account for electoral stability. The estimates of issue and lagged partisan components from a second set of regressions will form the basis of some observations about the stability of preferences across individuals in this model.

Candidate Preference under Uncertainty: An Expanded View of Rational Voting
Creators: name: Weisberg, Herbert F.
name: Fiorina, Morris P.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: This paper examines how rational voters might choose between candidates under conditions of uncertainty. We shall emphasize two rational voting approaches--"defensive voting" and "credulous voting "--which have previously escaped notice. Additionally, we shall map out some of the implications of electoral uncertainty for empirical tests of the rational model and for the development of spatial theory. We shall not attempt to prove how citizens decide to vote, but we shall expand considerably the conventional interpretation of rational voting.

Monopoly and the Rate of Extraction of Exhaustible Resources: Note
Creators: name: Burness, H. Stuart

name: Matthews, Steven A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976
Subjects: Elasticity of demand, Economic resources, Natural resources, Nonrenewable resources, Extraction costs, Operating costs, Fixed costs, Monopoly, Cost efficiency, Economic costs

description: The contention that a monopolist exhausts a natural resource at a slower than socially optimal rate is examined for two cases: (1) fixed operation costs; and (2) demand elasticity increasing with output. Under either or both of these assumptions, monopoly extraction rates may be biased in the opposite direction towards excessive resource use. On balance, it is concluded, the effect of monopoly ownership on relative extraction rates must be determined empirically. Furthermore we suggest that the addition of fixed costs into the analysis will tend to destroy the Pareto optimal properties of resource extraction under competitive conditions.

Year: 1977

description: This report aims to supplement the completed and ongoing efforts to gather statistics for the history of American science. Specifically, by surveying the physics, mathematics, and chemistry communities, we have sought to help fill in the statistical gap left between the studies of American science through the Civil War and post-1920 complications of the National Research Council. To this end, we have addressed the following quantitative questions: How many people published research in physics, mathematics, and chemistry in the United States between the Civil War and World War I? What fraction of the publishers earned Ph.D's and what fraction did not? Where did they take their doctorates? How many studied abroad? Where were they employed? Where did they publish? What were their rates of publication? Who were the more productive members of each community? How did they differ from the total of publishers in the discipline at large? Who led the professional societies founded in each discipline? How did these organizational leaders compare with the productive people in their respective fields?

Empirical Studies of Utility Regulation
Creators: name: Noll, Roger G.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: During the past fifteen years, numerous studies have been published that purport to demonstrate quantitatively the effects of price and profit regulation on regulated monopolies. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief, minimally technical summary and evaluation of these studies. For the most part, the fine theoretical and econometric details are ignored in favor of an exposition of the general approach that researchers have taken to the problem of estimating regulatory effects. While the primary focus is on studies of so-called "natural monopolies," references are also made for purposes of comparison to studies examining the effect of regulation on competitive markets. The Bibliography contains the standard references on the empirical effects of price regulation in all the basic infrastructural industries—energy, telecommunications and transportation—whether competitive or monopolistic.

Liberalism in Retreat: The Interior Department, 1945-1952
Creators: name: Koppes, Clayton R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: The twenty-year presence of liberal Democratic administrations from 1933 to 1953 has stimulated a prevailing interpretation that the period represented basically continuity in domestic policy. The usual assumption has been that the Truman administration did much to institutionalize the New Deal and that the Fair Deal, despite a recalcitrant Congress, managed some modest extensions of the Roosevelt legacy. One of the reasons for this interpretation, which appears regardless of ideological positions, is that historians have focused chiefly on social-welfare legislation; they have thus neglected many of the other innovative contributions of the New Deal, and have all but ignored the manner in which succeeding regimes administered New Deal measures.
In this paper, I propose to test this prevailing interpretation of the continuity of liberalism from New Deal to Fair Deal by analyzing some of the major issues facing the Interior Department from 1945 to 1952. In so doing, I hope to illuminate some neglected issues and to suggest alternative interpretations of others. The Department of the Interior seems to me to be a particularly suitable vehicle for a case study of Truman-era liberalism. The department embraced a more diverse array of programs than any other department; this diversity, coupled with the strength of the department during the Roosevelt years, made it an unusually full expression of the New Deal's many facets. Moreover, the continuity of leadership in the department from New Deal to Fair Deal made it seem the embodiment of the liberal tradition. Secretary Harold L. Ickes served until February 15, 1946, affording an unusual opportunity to watch an old New Dealer orient his department to the problems of the postwar. Oscar L. Chapman, who served as secretary from December 1, 1949 to January 20, 1953, had been assistant secretary for thirteen years under Ickes and under secretary from 1946 to 1949. Chapman's unusual tenure made him appear to contemporary liberal observers as "one of the few authentic New Dealers left in the Cabinet."

Effect of Cooperative Learning on High School Students' Performance in Economics in Ghana

Publisher: name: East African Journal of Education and Social Sciences
Year: 2024
Subjects: Social Science

description: The study sought to establish the impact of cooperative learning on economics students’ performance in Senior High School in Ghana, using a quasi-experimental design that included pre-tests and post-tests. The study engaged 164 senior high school economics students (81 in the control group and 83 students in the experimental group). The study used a 50-item performance test and a 29-item perception questionnaire. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics (frequency, percentages, means and standard deviations) and inferential statistics (independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test). The study revealed that senior high school economics students positively perceived the use of cooperative learning strategies in teaching economics. It revealed that economics students in the experimental and control groups had the same level of poor performance in economics before conducting the intervention. A significant difference emerged in the post-test performance of students in the experimental group, revealing improved performance after teaching the group using cooperative learning strategies. This suggests that cooperative learning strategies significantly affected the students’ performance. The study, recommends that senior high school economics teachers need to incorporate cooperative learning strategies in teaching economics topics to improve students’ performance.

Has the Averch-Johnson Effect Been Empirically Verified?
Creators: name: McKay, Derek J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1976

description: Recently three studies have been published which claim to confirm the existence of the Averch-Johnson effect in the electric power industry. Each of these papers uses a distinctly different methodology. This paper examines the general problem of what the nature of the A-J effect might be and what sort of data would be required in order to confirm its presence. The other studies are then critically examined on the basis of this discussion. A modification of the method used in one previous study is then used to test the A-J hypothesis, and no evidence of capital bias is found. The principal conclusion of this study is that if the A-J effect is significant in distorting input choices in the electric utility industry, very different sorts of data than those that have been used thus far are going to be required in order to verify its presence. Mechanical usage of gross input and output numbers, without understanding of the technological processes involved, leads only to erroneous conclusions.

Responses to Disaster: Planning for a Great Earthquake in California
Creators: name: Cohen, Linda R.
name: Noll, Roger G.
name: Weingast, Barry R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1977

description: The principal purpose of this paper is to establish an analytical framework for assisting disaster relief planners in assessing the effectiveness of existing plans and devising realistic allocations of responsibilities among relief organizations, The paper builds on an earlier tradition of disaster studies: while major earthquakes are relatively rare events, major disasters are not, and the patterns of physical and psychological damage to disaster victims have been well documented. The environment in which planning and relief organizations must operate, including the nature and extent of damage an earthquake might cause and the likely behavioral response of both members of relief organizations and the client population, is fairly predictable.

The Economics of Building Codes to Resist Seismic Shock
Creators: name: Cohen, Linda R.
name: Noll, Roger G.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: This paper applies the theory of optimal investment under risk to the problem of evaluating building codes to make structures more resistant to earthquakes. A simple equation is derived that can be used to estimate the implicit values of the social costs of earth quake damages that are necessary to justify an increment to the seismic resistivity of a structure, and an illustrative empirical application is made to evaluate a recently proposed earthquake building code. The paper also examines the effects of earthquake prediction information on both private decisions regarding the structural integrity of buildings and the social attractiveness of seismic building codes.

description: The policy paper examines how can corporate social responsibility be applied within the landscape of Western Balkans, having a focus on Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This paper analyses the environmental aspect of corporate social responsibility in these two respective countries, more specifically, it will evaluate existing regulations and practices in building hydropower plants and small hydropower plants in local communities. It will tackle the effects of developing hydropower plants on the right to life, right to clean and healthy environment, water rights and what role can companies play in respecting these rights. The sustainable development perspective will also be included in the policy analyses. It will particularly address disputed cases of building and developing hydropower plants in Albania and BiH and provide an overview of protective mechanisms in similar cases. The paper will end with policy recommendations towards both the states and companies.

description: I want to take as my texts today statements made to me in correspondence and conversation by two senior quantitative historians. Each statement illustrates what I believe to be misjudgments about the proper methodological priorities for quantitative historians in America today. To spare these historians from publicity which their casual statements were not intended to invite, but mostly to protect myself against reprisal, I shall not name them here.

description: Orthorapha (s.s.) cassidioides Westwood
Orthorapha cassidioides Westwood in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1832: 263. Ulopa cassidioides: Blanchard 1840: 201.
Diagnosis. Distinctively marked, sexually dimorphic (Figs. 33 C–D): male with frons more pendulous than in female, dorsum black with head and wing tips redbrown, female more evenly brown to greenish, tegminal tips nearly rounded in male, parabolically produced in female. Male dorsum black, fading to brown on apex of head, tarsi and tip of rostrum darkened, tegmina with yellow spot along base of costa, and tips with oblique ivory stripe merging with yellow vein tips (Fig. 33 C). Female dorsum and tegmina brown to greenish brown, with yellow costal spot as in male, tips of tegmina as in male, or broadly yellow (Fig. 33 D). Hind wings present. Theca lamellate, convexly widened abruptly on ventral side near base, gradually tapered from midlength to pointed tip; dorsal margin straight or nearly so, membranous on apical half (Fig. 3 A). Length: male 6.5–7.0 mm, female 7.6 mm. Width across pronotum: male 2.4 mm, female 2.5 mm.
Type. Presumptive holotype from BRAZIL, in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris (fide Blanchard 1840), a male from "Savana" (probably Savan[duv]a, which is modern-day Sanaduva in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). This specimen was recorded and illustrated by Amyot & Serville (1843) but does not agree with the original illustration (Griffith & Pidgeon 1832).
Additional material. Three males, 1 female from BRAZIL: São Paulo —Salesopolis, Biol. Boracea, 17–26 Dec. 1969 (J.M. & B.A. Campbell); Rio de Janeiro —Teresópolis, 11 Jan. 1990 (L.B.N. Coelho; Campos de Jordão, 1600 m [ASL], Mar. 1945 (Wygodzinsky). Two males from S.P. in CNCI; male and female from R.J. in UFRJ.
Remarks. There is considerable difference in venation at the hind wing tip in the specimens examined, but this is considered to be individual variation rather than a sign of a mixed series.

description: Optimal development programs that explicitly account for the environmental impacts of extracting and consuming energy resources are analyzed. Following Lee and Orr (1975), we allow for the possibility of storing the resource above ground once it has been extracted. When environmental disruption results from resource extraction (as in the case of strip mining) or there are environmental costs associated with resource consumption (for example, the social costs of air pollution from fuel consumption), then the socially optimal rates of resource consumption and extraction depend on the severity of the environmental impact and on the prospects of storing the resource above ground.

Major League Team Sports
Creators: name: Noll, Roger G.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: The major league sports industry is an exceptionally interesting subject for economic study. Its al lure for economists does not lie in its size, for by any reasonable measure the team sports industry is not big business. The total revenue of all teams in the five major team sports—baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer—is less than half the revenue of such mundane endeavors as the manufacture of cardboard boxes or the canning of fruits and vegetables. Pro teams have revenues ranging approximately from those of a large gas station to those of a department store or large supermarket.
The team sports business is interesting to economists primarily because of the complex operating rules and special legal status of the industry. Nearly every phase of the operations of a team or a league is influenced by practices and rules that limit economic competition within the industry. In most cases, government has either sanctioned or failed to attack effectively these anticompetitive practices. Consequently, professional team sports provides economists with a unique opportunity to study the operation and performance of an effective, well-organized cartel.
