Talk:Flypaper theory (economics)

message: "As another example, suppose a tax is levied on the sellers of a product. The sellers may simply raise the price of the product, thus shifting the burden of the tax on the buyers of the product." 
This is simply poorly thought-out economics. The seller, especially when under competition, cannot simply set his own prices and expect to profit. Prices are more or less set by Supply-Demand equilibrium ([here]), and cannot be altered (much) by the seller without damaging his profits. The price is set to the point at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. If he puts the price over that equilibrium, he can expect a loss in profits and a surplus. 
What decides who is hurt by a tax and how much is the elasticity of the good. The burden undertaken by either party is virtually beyond their control, so long as they are in the market for that good. - NY3 5:15 EST Sept 28, 2005
:It is true that no individual seller could set his own prices, but the idea is that the tax would cause sellers en masse to shift some of the burden of that tax onto buyers. The example applies because it's not just a single seller moving, but many. —Lowellian (reply) 17:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Example

message: Actually, the flypaper effect is usually used to describe the idea that grants to state and local government "stick where they hit."  For example, does a federal grant to a state for education increase education spending by the amount of the grant or does it "crowd out" previous state spending on education.  Flypaper effect was coined by Arthur Okun and tends to be percieved with skepticism by most economists. -- J.C. 10/20/2006
:The term can be used to describe both: taxes and grants — and for that matter, other similar phenomenon in economics as well in which the intended targets of an economic policy turns out not to be the parties actually affected. —Lowellian (reply) 17:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Merseyrail

message: Separate from the above, what are people's thoughts on removing the majority of the 'Future' section? Some it is actually history and could possibly be incorporated into that section, but it includes a lot of schemes which didn't progress or which are very unlikely to happen in the near future.

Talk:2003 Bilderberg Meeting

message: The main page about Bilderberg is rather cluttered, so I think this per-conference approach is pretty good.  I've got a couple of points to make here.  Firstly, this would be a good place to mention sources.  I'm guessing much of this information comes from http://www.bilderberg.org/2003.htm , which seem like a fairly well-researched resource.  However, it's not a primary resource.  In particular, what is the source for the 'list of members' press release?  I've added Mervyn King on the strength of this release, but I don't really know where it has come from.
Secondly, so far as I understand it, there are 'core' members, who keep coming back year after year.  I think it would be useful in the article to list these separately from the one-time-guest members.  For one thing, it's unnecessary to list the identical, somewhat non-neutral, biographies of the core members in the entry on each conference.  Also, the one-time guests appear to be 'men of the moment'.  If these are listed separately, it's clear which are permanent members of the club, and which  ones may be only guests.
I know that I could do this work myself, and may do yet, but perhaps someone might comment on these thoughts?  Crosbiesmith 22:16, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm dubious with this part of the article:
:Although he was paid $11,850,000 in 2003 and $8,850,000 in 2004, he appears to be reaching the end of his career as it is apparent that his bat speed has slowed and he is no longer able to hit with the authority he did in 2000.  Further, he will make $8,000,000 in 2005, and has contributed one RBI to the team.  The real genius here is Higginson's agent, for getting the Tigers to agree to such a big contract.  However, since we are dealing with a contract executed in the Randy Smith era, that might not be saying much.

It was not good enough for an All-Star selection or a share of an MVP award. At his best, Bobby Higginson was an above-average player with a broad range of skills, and he cannot be faulted for the poor performance of the rest of his team. At best he was clearly an above-average ballplayer.

Talk:Kite control systems

message: Should the content of this page be moved onto the power kite page? I cannot really see why the two are separate. I also wonder whether the kite related pages about LEI's, foil kites etc. should be integrated into this one. If it's too vast, a single page is clearly not good. But if things are spread out too much, the reader will have a hard time trying to stay focussed. Opinions?
misterb, 29 Sept 2005
I agree. It seems counter intuitive to have to follow links to all these seperate pages. The casual reader will be looking for a concise overview on Power Kites - as was I on first visit. The subject is hardly extensive at present (well at least the basics) - so surely a single page would suffice and provide a good overview.
my vote is for this separate kite control page to continue, as many non-power control applications are covered. dave santos 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.118.1.77 (talk) 17:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
