This thesis uses time series analysis to construct models of income and consumption in the United States between 1947 and 1983. The data are quarterly observations on three measures of income and two of consumption. The study begins with a survey of univariate and multivariate model building techniques. With the life cycle - permanent income hypothesis as a foundation, theoretical models of income and consumption are discussed. These models are then fit to the data and examined. Tests for...

The data are quarterly observations on three measures of income and two of consumption. The study begins with a survey of univariate and multivariate model building techniques. With the life cycle - permanent income hypothesis as a foundation, theoretical models of income and consumption are discussed. These models are then fit to the data and examined. Tests for causality are also covered in order to determine the manner in which the two processes are related in a multivariate model.

Contemporary magazine ads for television sets have much in common with their post WWII counterparts, the latter being produced during an era when the new technology was first getting installed in homes across the United States. Much has changed in the TV landscape since the postwar years. In particular, digital technology has altered the general terrain and set choices themselves are more diverse.

Show moreContemporary magazine ads for television sets have much in common with their post WWII counterparts, the latter being produced during an era when the new technology was first getting installed in homes across the United States. Much has changed in the TV landscape since the postwar years. In particular, digital technology has altered the general terrain and set choices themselves are more diverse. Digital television began penetrating the marketplace in the 1990s and is predicted to become mainstream by 2010. Even though the cultural climate has shifted since the postwar era, along with the concept of the familial and traditional notions of gender, the rhetorical strategies in advertising are strikingly similar. This essay examines 11 national ads by Sharp, Philips, Panasonic and Pioneer taken from contemporary popular women's magazines between the years 1998 and 2005. This essay considers the discourses attached to the evolved television apparatus as its digital incarnation is introduced into the private sphere of American homes. Each of the ads is placed within the framework of political economy, reading changes in the ad industry and the broadcast industry in such a context.
