  David Dixon Porter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Admiral David Dixon Porter (June 8, 1813 – February 13, 1891) was a United States naval officer who became one of the most noted naval heroes of the Civil War.
He was the son of Commodore David Porter, USN (1780–1843), a hero of the War of 1812, and was the brother-in-law of Carlile Pollock Patterson.
Porter was one of the first U.S. Navy officers to bear the rank of admiral; prior to the Civil War, no officer had held a rank higher than commodore, as admiral was considered to have royalist connotations.

Dixon and Rankin then consider the impact of macroeconomic policy on output and welfare.
Dixon and Rankin find that monetary or fiscal policies that increase output are then probably welfare improving, and very possibly Pareto-improving.
In conclusion, Dixon and Rankin suggest possible extensions of this research to the open economy, possibly related to the literature on imperfect competition in international trade, and to dynamic models: modern theories of industrial organization focus heavily on strategic issues in dynamic game-theoretic models of imperfect competition.

 Money Neutrality The Relevance of Menu Costs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
Since empirical evidence points to very low labour-supply elasticities, menu costs must be very high for prices to remain unchanged, and the usefulness of the menu-costs argument thus appears limited.
In Discussion Paper No. 1567, Huw Dixon and Claus Hansen argue that the relevance of these models can be revived by modifying the traditional assumption that all industries have the same structure.
With heterogeneous sectors – some monopolistic, some competitive – the possibility arises of the increased output and employment being concentrated in the high-price, low-output monopolistic sector, causing relative outputs in the two sectors to move towards the optimal ratio.
