Title: Interest rates and inflation: An analysis of monetary policy.
Creator: Steele, Sandra C., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: The main contribution of this thesis is the determination of how long it takes for an adjustment in the short-term interest rate to effect inflation. In order to ascertain this, a good amount of economic theory is covered, including a rudimentary explanation of inflation and interest rates, a brief history of monetary policy in the United States, an analysis of the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, the importance of credibility and inertia, and a detailed review of...

In order to ascertain this, a good amount of economic theory is covered, including a rudimentary explanation of inflation and interest rates, a brief history of monetary policy in the United States, an analysis of the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, the importance of credibility and inertia, and a detailed review of interest rate policy since 1979. This, in conjunction with empirical analysis, does in fact offer an answer to this question.

Title: International shocks and interdependence: Cointegration results from the major equity markets.
Creator: Croce, Robert William., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This study subjects the world's major stock markets to cointegration tests in an effort to respond to the common investigation that the major equity markets tend to move together with the U.S. market. The relationships between the United States and Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom will be investigated. Not only will the entire period of 1970-1991.3 be examined, but the pre-1987 crash and the post-1987 crash periods as well. In addition, the Chow test will be employed to...

The relationships between the United States and Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom will be investigated. Not only will the entire period of 1970-1991.3 be examined, but the pre-1987 crash and the post-1987 crash periods as well. In addition, the Chow test will be employed to probe for any structural change occurrence relating to the worldwide stock market crash of October 1987. Evidence of cointegration is found to exist vis-a-vis the U.S. with the U.K. and Germany for the entire period; however, since the crash, only the U.K. and Japan have exhibited equilibrium relations. Absolutely no cointegration was detected for Canada nor France with the U.S. market.

Title: THE IMPACT OF MULTINATIONAL CORPORATE INVESTMENT ON SELECTED LATIN AMERICAN ECONOMIES.
Creator: DITTRICH, ELIZABETH DIANN., Florida Atlantic University, Manage, Neela D., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis analyzes the impact of transnational corporate investment patterns in five Latin American economies: Mexico, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil. Two important theories attributed to the dependencia and neoconventional schools of thought are first described and then econometrically tested for the above countries.

Show moreThis thesis analyzes the impact of transnational corporate investment patterns in five Latin American economies: Mexico, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil. Two important theories attributed to the dependencia and neoconventional schools of thought are first described and then econometrically tested for the above countries. The basic framework for econometrically testing these theories consists of a model specifying the domestic and foreign determinants of domestic capital formation. Domestic determinants are formulated in terms of the 'accelerator' and loanable-funds theories of domestic investment behavior. Investment by multinational corporations is then added to the model to see if it makes any significant contribution towards indigenous investment. In order to take into account the lagged effects of multinational investment, an Almon lag estimation technique was adopted.

Title: INFLATION AND ECONOMIC STIMULUS.
Creator: MOONEY, JAY MORTON., Florida Atlantic University, Redman, Milton, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis examines the relationship between fiscal policy and monetary policy and the rate of inflation for the U.S. using annual data 1955 to 1979. A survey of macroeconomic theory of inflation is presented. The rate of inflation is shown to be dependent upon the rate of monetary and fiscal stimulus in the economy. A long run monetary growth model of the neoclassical type is examined which shows the relationship between inflation and economic stimulus to be very complex. An empirical...

Title: FACTOR ANALYSIS AS A TECHNIQUE FOR ECONOMICS.
Creator: ISLEY, PHYLLIS W., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis focuses on factor analysis as a technique. It thus includes a survey of the various factor mode ls, their theory and mathematical development, a survey of its previous use for empirical studies in economics, and empirical tests of sensitivity of alternative factor techniques. From the results of the sensitivity test it was concluded that different factor techniques yield very similar results and that factor techniques are of value for empirical studies in economics.

A pooled model is also estimated for a cross-section of six industrialized economies based upon time series data from 1976 to 1990 for each country. The results suggest that income, technological change, and inflation have a significant impact on national health care expenditures.

The most striking characteristics discussed in Chapter one are the following: (a) the chronic shortage of capital in all its forms; (b) the shortage of skilled labor; (c) the small size and low sophistication of most markets. Linear Programming is an efficient scientific management tool, based on sound economic theory. Chapter two is devoted to the exploration of the theoretical background of Linear Programming. Linear Programming is shown to be very useful in analyzing a firm as a system, considering a multitude of elements simultaneously. The model studied in Chapter three yields a wealth of information about adjustments to improve future performance despite being fundamentally a static model. It also provides an extremely useful tool to study the firm's adaptive behavior to environmental changes thus focusing on underdevelopment at the individual firm's level.

Title: Essential of Cournot oligopoly model.
Creator: Mahzabeen, Ishrat., Florida Atlantic University, Hung, Chao-shun, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: This thesis examines as well as compares four essential issues of the Cournot oligopoly model--existence, uniqueness, and stability of the equilibrium solution, and the competitive property of the model. A Cournot equilibrium solution exists for the market when the marginal revenue of each firm declines due to an output expansion by all other firms. The existing Cournot solution is unique when a non-zero Jacobian determinant of the marginal profit functions exist. The equilibrium solution is...
Show moreThis thesis examines as well as compares four essential issues of the Cournot oligopoly model--existence, uniqueness, and stability of the equilibrium solution, and the competitive property of the model. A Cournot equilibrium solution exists for the market when the marginal revenue of each firm declines due to an output expansion by all other firms. The existing Cournot solution is unique when a non-zero Jacobian determinant of the marginal profit functions exist. The equilibrium solution is stable when two conditions are simultaneously satisfied: (i) each firm's marginal cost does not fall faster than the market demand curve, and (ii) on the aggregate the marginal profit of the firms decreases as all the firms expand their outputs. The existence, uniqueness, and stability are necessary properties for the Cournot equilibrium solution to become quasi-competitive. However, the Cournot solution will converge towards the competitive solution only in absence of economies of scale. These results have an important policy implication that, allowing entry into an oligopolistic market will improve the market performance.

Florida, in enacting the Environmental Land and Water Management Act in 1972, used the ALI Code as a model for its "areas of critical state concern". The Florida Keys are studied in this thesis in regards to this type of designation in order to research the intergovernmental aspects and problems of this legislation. A survey of the people of the Keys and interviews with their elected officials during the first few months following their designation as one of critical state concern uncovered some of the inherent difficulties involved when the state imposes its guidelines on a local municipality within the ALI context.

Abstract/Description: This thesis explored the impact of inflation upon fiscal automatic stabilizers during the 1973-75 recession. Our study confined itself to the three main devices purported to stabilize the U.S. economy automatically: (1) federal personal income tax liability, (2) corporate profits tax liability, and (3) unemployment compensation benefits.

Our study confined itself to the three main devices purported to stabilize the U.S. economy automatically: (1) federal personal income tax liability, (2) corporate profits tax liability, and (3) unemployment compensation benefits. A recursive model, similar to that used by Dusenberry, Eckstein, and Fromm to study fiscal automatic stabilizers in the 1957-58 recession, was constructed. Our simulation results led us to conclude that there was a substantial reduction in output and employment due to the impact of inflation upon federal personal income tax liability in the 1973-75 recession. We reached a tentative conclusion that the effects of inflation upon output and employment via corporate profits tax liability were negligible. Finally, we concluded that the effects of inflation upon output and employment via unemployment compensation benefits paid were negligible in the recent stagflation.

Show moreThis thesis contains an investigation of the potential for increasing dental productivity in Florida. This investigation of the Florida dental care industry is conducted from a micro-economic-theoretical perspective. It is performed under a methodological framework that incorporates the estimation of a dental production function for Florida using data on general practices from the ADA 1977 Survey of Dental Practice and employing the transcendental logarithmic production function. As a complement to this estimation a survey of the relevant literature and an examination of the general characteristics of Florida dental practices are presented. The general implication is that the productivity of Florida practices could be increased and associated delivery costs could be reduced by expanding the market for dental services, adding more staff, and increasing the number of dentists per practice, as well as by a more efficient use of dental personnel including auxiliaries with expanded functions.

For this, the logit technique is employed. Interest rate variables used to characterize the term structure include Treasury, Federal-funds, and bank-certificate-of-deposit rates. The term structure proves a significant factor in determining the probability of bank failure. Changes in long-term rates relative to short-term rates can profoundly affect bank performance. These findings corroborate any measures being taken by banks or regulators to minimize banks' interest rate risk exposure.
