Title
PRODUCTIVITY AND INDUSTRIAL POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES.
Creator
HENN, PETER J., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines the relationship between productivity growth and industrial policy using J.S. data from 1948 to 1981. A growth accounting model is used to study productivity growth and the recent productivity slowdown. Beth sides of the industrial policy debate are offered. The analysis of the productivity slowdown is then applied to the industrial policy debate to see if the establishment of the latter could have avoided the former. The thesis purports a negative response to the question.

Measured impact of federal government policies as determined by stock market capital values for selected industries
Title
Measured impact of federal government policies as determined by stock market capital values for selected industries.
Creator
Fuller, Edward E., Florida Atlantic University, deHaven-Smith, Lance
Abstract/Description
Government policies can reduce or increase wealth. Some governmental actions are explicit, such as the collection of taxes or fees. The effects of other actions are less apparent, such as safety regulations or meat inspection standards. Specific governmental policies were matched to related industry groups who would seem affected by the action. The stock values for each of the industrial groups were analyzed using a time series methodology. The data for the investigation came from the actual...
Show moreGovernment policies can reduce or increase wealth. Some governmental actions are explicit, such as the collection of taxes or fees. The effects of other actions are less apparent, such as safety regulations or meat inspection standards. Specific governmental policies were matched to related industry groups who would seem affected by the action. The stock values for each of the industrial groups were analyzed using a time series methodology. The data for the investigation came from the actual stock prices at weekly checkpoints over a two year period. Each group has a total stock value and the matching Dow Jones Industrial Average for each time period. Forecast values are compared to actual values for the critical periods previous to and following the pronouncement of the policy. The results are compared on a case by case basis within each industry, and an aggregate conclusion was drawn based on all five industries. Overall, the short term outcome reflected stock market reaction which caused most values to decrease from the news. Long term values were restored for the most part in relation to the total stock market behavior as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The intent of the research was to measure wealth changes as a result of governmental policy pronouncements. The capital values of the stock market provided a means of measuring wealth. While this paper did not intend to provide investment insight, one can conclude that short term downturns from some governmental policies are short term in nature. A savvy investor may be able to outperform the market average using such downturns as a strategic investment point.

Dinner conversation
Title
Dinner conversation: eating sustainably without dietary elitism.
Creator
Wood, Alyssa A., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description
This study explores the perceived elitism within both the environmentalist community and general public in regards to "environmental diets" such as : vegetarianism, veganism, locavore-ism, and ethical omnivory. I explore these diets and potential expressions of elitism within the framework developed by Morrison and Dunlap in their discussion of environmental elitism. Examples come from published sources as well as personal anecdotes. Through this study, I suggest that this perceived elitism...
Show moreThis study explores the perceived elitism within both the environmentalist community and general public in regards to "environmental diets" such as : vegetarianism, veganism, locavore-ism, and ethical omnivory. I explore these diets and potential expressions of elitism within the framework developed by Morrison and Dunlap in their discussion of environmental elitism. Examples come from published sources as well as personal anecdotes. Through this study, I suggest that this perceived elitism is actually not elitism per se, but a very thin line of tension between describing the ideal food systems aside the current state of food inequity and industrial agriculture. Simply, I am trying to grapple with how to be educated in the fields of Food Studies and systems of oppression without perpetuating elitism alongside the system which desperately needs reform.

Abstract/Description
The behavior of smoking is one of the most important social and public health issues today. This thesis focuses on the smoker in a south Florida bar district. Through the analysis of forty interviews and one hundred surveys, I uncovered why individuals smoke and how they rationalize the behavior in spite of known health risks. The four emerging themes as to why individuals smoke were for the creation of self-image, pleasure and relaxation, reinforce social relations and mood maintenance. The...
Show moreThe behavior of smoking is one of the most important social and public health issues today. This thesis focuses on the smoker in a south Florida bar district. Through the analysis of forty interviews and one hundred surveys, I uncovered why individuals smoke and how they rationalize the behavior in spite of known health risks. The four emerging themes as to why individuals smoke were for the creation of self-image, pleasure and relaxation, reinforce social relations and mood maintenance. The two themes regarding the rationalization behind the behavior were "it's better than other vices" argument and the "life is dangerous" argument. Individuals know that smoking is a health risk; however, the way in which individuals rationalize the behavior allows them to continue the behavior.

Show morethe decades after World War II the United States became the most prosperous nation in the world. Yet, that prosperity and growth had a negative impact on the environmental quality of the nation. By the mid 1960s there was a rise in concern over environmental issues in the American public. Consequently, President Richard M. Nixon in his determination to give the American people what they sought decided to enact policies to bring the environmental crisis to an end. Among the environmental policies of the Nixon Administration was the Clean Air Act of 1970, a highly controversial piece of legislation that placed tough regulations on the automobile industry. Due to the significant role of the auto industry in the American economy, and Nixon's concerns over reelection, there were two major shifts in business/government relations during this era. The first one was characterized by determination to protect the environment with little attention to complaints from the industry. The second one was about protecting the profitability of the industry while giving little attention to environmental problems.
