	Dale Jorgenson's Collected Works
		The evaluation of alternative economic policies uses the same framework for normative economics as the measurement of inequality, poverty, and the cost and standard of living.
		Efficiency and equity move in opposite directions and both are essential for the evaluation of alternative policies.
		Practitioners of normative economics may be relieved to find that the construction of a consumer price index, perhaps the most important application of the index number approach, is conceptually sound and empirically robust.

		The role of these institutions and organizations in shaping the current economic conditions is also examined, with particular attention paid to the economic role of the federal government.
		Although this is sometimes a barrier to understanding, it is intended as a common vocabulary for the study of economics, for understanding public policy debates, and as a short hand for communicating complex ideas.
		Efficiency and equity goals are sometimes in conflict and although the principles of economics cannot be used to solve this conflict, the principles can be used to make the trade-offs clear and quantifiable.

	A Biased View of Rationality As a Brake to Progress in Economics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Economic theory is in disarray and unable to tackle the central policy problems of the developed economies.
		Economics could leave, at the level of analysis, an opening by which to incorporate other values than efficiency, but this is not the case because those values would be considered subsidiary.
		Paul Samuelson has noted that many economists “separate economics from sociology on the basis of rational or irrational behavior, where these terms are defined in the penumbra of utility theory.” Utility is identified as egoism or self-interest, and rationality is defined as consistency; that is, that preferences are transitive.

		Economics is the study of how scarce resources are allocated and the implications of such allocations.
		Economics does not provide definitive answers to these questions, but it does give the student the tools needed to formulate and evaluate such answers.
		In this course, we learn how to apply the theoretical and empirical tools of economics to analyze the economic status of women and of various racial and ethnic groups in the United States, and we explore the various sources of, and solutions to, persistent economic inequality.

	GRI Equity - DRAFT prospectus - private and confidential.
		Many private equity funds active since 1998 are suffering depreciated portfolios and are inexperienced in managing during economic downturns.
		The magnitude of the anticipated evolution of economic systems may be illustrated by a benchmark study (by R. Costanza et al.) which has put a monetary value on the services provided by nature (but hitherto discounted by global economic systems).
		Three decades ago investment in developing economies was often partially predicated on the ability to operate to lower environmental standards (and therefore cost) than legal in the domestic economy, however, the investment policies of all institutional investors reflect the higher environmental standards irrespective of the standards of the host economy.

	Institutional Economics: ‘Light Reading It’s Not’ - Forbes
		Greenspan was perfectly right when he said, at the annual Kansas City Fed economic conference in Jackson Hole, that “Historical data suggest that nothing short of a sharp increase in short-term rates that engenders a significant economic retrenchment is sufficient to check a nascent bubble.
		Economics is usually about the incentives that cause people to solve their own or other peoples’ problems, but to Mr.
		The sort of economic growth that drives the unemployment rate to 30 year lows is not going to give you low interest rates.

	Participatory Economics Interview
		The difference between capitalism and participatory economics is the difference between the kind of economy that spends immense sums building missiles that sit in the ground but little to finance quality health care for all, and the kind that does the reverse.
		The media is, like every other economic institution, controlled by a relative few who have certain interests and make sure that the media--with the exception of radio stations like this one, of course--comply with those interests.
		So in participatory economics, since participation and freedom are taken seriously, of course there will be media at many levels and scales, all, however, operated according to the equitable, balanced, and participatory norms of the economy as a whole.

		One is that the growth of private equity is a classic example of the way organizational innovation, aided by regulatory and tax changes, can ignite activity in a particular market.
		Until the late 1970s, private equity investments were undertaken mainly by wealthy families, industrial corporations, and financial institutions that invested directly in issuing firms.
		The second theme of the study is that the growth of the private equity market has expanded access to outside equity capital for both classic start-up companies and established private companies.

	Global Economics and Cultural Equity
		Each is said to embody a particular configuration of the interplay of transnational, national, regional and local economic, political and cultural forces set in motion over recent decades.
		It is important to keep clear that much economic analysis over this period has proceeded in complacent disregard or direct rejection of any such assertions about fundamental realignments in the relation between the nation-state and the economy or subnational political institutions.
		This volume balances hard evidence of the enduring power of traditional "hierarchs," that is, economic and political elites, with moving accounts of leaps in self-discovery, construction of identities and resistance among the world's most oppressed peoples.

		Economic research is needed to address this issue, as it is likely to affect the way in which policymakers perceive the costs and benefits of these drugs.
		Economic research has tended to focus on the cost-effectiveness of ARVs currently, but has not developed models that would assist in evaluating the potential cost-effectiveness of ARVs in the future, when the prices are likely to be substantially less than current prices.
		In addition to public economics, there is a need to further define what is meant by "equity" as it applies to the access to care for ARVs.

	Home equity loans and the business cycle Business Economics - Find Articles
		Although consumer debt is at an all-time end, it will not necessarily act as restriction on future economic growth; factors such as demographics, convenience use of credit cards, deregulation of the financial services industry, and a new avenue of consumer credit - home equity loans - must be considered.
		HOME EQUITY LOANS, the fastest-growing form of consumer credit today, are a new factor affecting the interpretation of all measures of consumer debt.
		Therefore, homeowners with equity in their homes can get a significant interest rate break by taking out a home equity loan as a substitute for conventional borrowing such as personal, car and education loans.

	Economics
		Classical economic theory institutionalizes and exacerbates existing social disparities that are based on unequal distributions of income.
		While environmental laws should weigh economic issues, the laws should not substitute economic considerations for the important social considerations that motivated legislators to enact the laws in the first place.
		Accordingly, economic considerations should not be the sole factor that is weighed in future environmental initiatives.

	Equity Theory and the Voluntary Provision of Public Goods when Income is not Distributed Equally (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A model incorporating aspects of a psychological theory of equity is presented as an alternative to the conventional economics model.
		Equity theory suggests that people may feel distress if they contribute either larger or smaller shares of their incomes to a public good than the average contribution of others, and that people will behave in a way to avoid this distress.
		The Nash equilibrium prediction for this model is for high income individuals to undercontribute and for low income individuals to overcontribute relative to the prediction of the conventional model.

		The attached email span the late 1970's through the present, (some of the dates are incorrect,) and are concerned, (for the most part,) with the integration of information technology, entropic economics, and management theory into a unified concept of corporate management.
		Most are in regard to a stochastic model of equity prices, and applications to the programmed trading of stocks, day trading, and exploiting market "bubbles".
		Most are concerned with the relationship between economics, game theory, fractal science, and formal mathematics-explaining how the consequences of self-referential systems and Nash equilibrium result in a complex system with fractal dynamics.

		Radical changes in the structure of agriculture are affecting the farm level as well as the cooperative level.
		The greater diversity creates some knotty problems for cooperative boards and cooperative memberships as they attempt to define what activities the cooperative should perform, how it should approach markets, how it should price its products and services, and how it should relate to its members.
