toc.htm Never would Ludwig von Mises bend to the winds of change that he saw to be unfortunate and disastrous; neither changes in political economy nor in the discipline of economics could bring him to swerve a single iota from pursuing and propounding the truth as he saw it. Mises also provided a much-needed methodological critique of the currently fashionable mathematical and statistical method in economics, a system derived from the Swiss neo-classicist, Leon Walras, and a methodology that has all but crowded out language or verbal logic from economic theory. Mises’ views are placed in the setting of the Austrian School of economics, which Mises adopted, developed and transformed to found his own school of thought. www.libertarianpress.com /rothbard/essential/toc.htm   (194 words)

Innovation - Economic Scale of Greywater Reuse Systems This desk study aimed at estimating the scale at which communal greywater systems become economically attractive, where the costs of treatment could be balanced by the costs of the distribution system, giving an overall minimum net cost. At each scale, a distribution network was designed to collect the greywater from each house and return the reclaimed water. At the scale where costs were a minimum, operating costs were distributed between distribution system maintenance (25%), pump power (10%), treatment plant operation (10%) and amortised capital (55%). www.cmit.csiro.au /innovation/2000-12/economic_scale.htm   (194 words)

Wealth Distribution and the Role of Networks : HBS Working Knowledge The important point is that the distribution (at the wealthy end, at least) follows a strikingly simple mathematical curve illustrating that a small fraction of people always owns a large fraction of the wealth. Of the central issues in economics, John Kenneth Galbraith wrote in his History of Economics, the first is "how equitable or inequitable is the income distribution. Pareto's distribution has, from a mathematical standpoint, stubbornly defied explanation. hbswk.hbs.edu /pubitem.jhtml?id=2906&sid=0&pid=0&t=finance   (1826 words)

The Keynesian Revolution The Depression and Keynesianism brought about governments that were also responsible for maintaining high levels of economic growth, low levels of unemployment and a less inequitable distribution of income than would result from market forces alone. Keynesian economics starts with an understanding of the limitations of neoclassical economics, which is based on examining only one thing at a time in an economy in which money serves only as a medium of exchange. Too large a proportion of recent "mathematical" economics are mere concoctions, as imprecise as the initial assumptions they rest on, which allow the author to lose sight of the complexities and interdependencies of the real world in a maze of pretentious and unhelpful symbols. online.bcc.ctc.edu /econ100/ksttext/keynes/keynes.htm   (6008 words)

Star of Bethlehem: A Statistical Solution to the Star of Bethlehem Problem by David A. Pardo Calculating roughly with the use of the geometric distribution where the average chances of finding and not finding the child serve as the parameters is very plausible and simple, requiring only one multiplication. Geometric and Poisson probabilities for finding the child under the worst case scenarios are given in table 2. At a growth rate of 1%, the population of Bethlehem in 7 BC would be 3741 with a Poisson probability of 63.47% for no child and 28.86% for one child, while the geometric distribution yields 54.54% and 24.79% respectively. cura.free.fr /xx/20pardo.html   (8694 words)

Research projects- Public economics - Department of Economics The first part of the project focuses attention on the role of characteristics within the localities, e.g., age structure of the population, the local income level and the distribution of income within the localities. An important part of this research is related to the influence of intergovernmental grants - both general and specific - on the distribution of local expenditures among municipalities in Sweden. Attention is paid to the determinants of private versus public school enrollment and, in particular, to the effects of the system on the funding of private schools in Sweden. www.econ.umu.se /forskning/projekt/pubec.html   (8694 words)

Vancouver Participatory Economics Collective It is called "participatory economics," or "parecon" for short, and there is a whole website and many books devoted to the broader concept on which our workplace design is based. Participatory Planning is the negotiation among workers and consumer councils that is intended to replace the market system of distribution, a system of distribution based upon price and one’s ability to pay. Nor were we interested in the kind of economic justice that has been heralded by promoters of authoritarian models of communism characterized by central planning, state owned productive property and a small elite of coordinators who plan the over all economic course of society. www.vanparecon.blogspot.com   (11424 words)

Welfare Economics Equity and efficiency Efficient measures are often not implemented because of their potentially damaging effects on distribution, yet these distributional effects are scarcely studied in economics because of the idea that they are case-specific. This result means that in a world without lump-sum transfers and agent heterogeneity, an expeditious rule is available to separate the class of Pareto-superior measures from the class of measures that, being efficient, are not Pareto-superior (without requiring knowledge about the characteristic distribution or the specific form of the social welfare function). Thus, distributional effects can be obtained without calculating the effect on each individual's utility. www.cepr.org /pubs/Bulletin/dps/dp1218.htm   (171 words)

Neo-classical economics Critics of this school of economics maintain that assumptions such as perfect knowledge and rationality on behalf of all the economic actors (and the alleged absence of a logical theory of distribution) raise serious doubts about the policy prescriptions which are drawn from this body of theory. This rests on a series of heroic assumptions which critics such as Galbraith have argued are too far removed from the realities of modern economics. From the 1870s emphasis has been placed on the notion that in a competitive market economy, made up of innumerable producers and consumers, the free operation of the market would produce the best outcome given the initial distribution of resources. www.anz.com /edna/dictionary.asp?action=content&content=neo-classical_economics   (303 words)

jrnlbraudmay94.html Also, the Executive is beginning to confront great macroeconomic imbalances, such as the double deficit of the budget and current account, with therapy that, while gradual, is already producing effects. The reality of distribution of economic resources among world powers, when compared with distribution of military strength, is as distorted as a funhouse mirror in an amusement park. By abandoning the economic advantages of the American umbrella, they would face the living fears of their neighbors, constitutional obstacles and cultural resistance in peoples with little enthusiasm for militarization and a more active international role. www.h-net.msu.edu /~latam/jrnl/braudel/jrnlbraudmay94.html   (303 words)

Man, Economy, and State - Stormfront White Nationalist Community Austrian economics is not based on the fallacy of the "average economic man". In addition to presenting a general theory of economics itself, the author rebuts numerous fallacies and misinterpretations, including most of the common policy prescriptions of the time. Since this book is a reprint of the earlier edition, his discussion covers only those fallacies that were around as of 1962. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?t=121396   (1525 words)

Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Economics (from the Greek οίκος [oikos], 'family, household, estate', and νομος [nomos], 'custom, law', hence "household management" and "management of the state") is a social science that typically studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Various schools of heterodox economics, for instance socialist economics, green economics and associative economics, seek to explain economic phenomena using different basic assumptions, for example by emphasising that economics is primarily concerned with exchanges of values. John Maynard Keynes once remarked that "Economics is the science of thinking."{See Keynes, Moggridge1976 p.28.} Broadly, the history of the study moved from the study of "wealth" to "welfare" to the idea of studying trade-offs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Economics   (5050 words)
