ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF URBAN CRIME RATES
Title
ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF URBAN CRIME RATES.
Creator
FRASER, RUSSELL EDWARD., Florida Atlantic University, McPheters, Lee R., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This study explains variation in urban crime incidence as a function of a number of socio-economic variables, including income, education, and urban blight. Ordinary least squares regression analysis is applied to cross-section data from the 60 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, for 19 70. Various extensions of the basic model are presented, using log variables, a lagged endogenous variable, and indices derived from factor analysis of a large matrix of socio-economic variables.

SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF PRICE FLUCTUATIONS
Title
SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF PRICE FLUCTUATIONS.
Creator
FERRO, ALEJANDRO., Florida Atlantic University, McPheters, Lee R., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines the transmission of price fluctuations between international trading partners. Once the theoretical basis for the transmittal of fluctuations was established, cross-spectral analysis was employed in an empirical evaluation of price fluctuations between the United States and Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Japan. It was concluded that the price fluctuations in any given country have a relationship to those of their trading partners and that policy makers should...
Show moreThis thesis examines the transmission of price fluctuations between international trading partners. Once the theoretical basis for the transmittal of fluctuations was established, cross-spectral analysis was employed in an empirical evaluation of price fluctuations between the United States and Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Japan. It was concluded that the price fluctuations in any given country have a relationship to those of their trading partners and that policy makers should take this fact into consideration when instituting anti-inflationary measures.

EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEMAND FOR COINS
Title
AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEMAND FOR COINS.
Creator
DAVIS, RICHARD MCDONALD., Florida Atlantic University, McPheters, Lee R., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This study includes an historical perspective which gives insight into the reasons for holding coins. Emphasis is given to the particular attributes of coins which differentiate between them and the aggregate money supply. Also included is a survey of relevant literature which concentrates upon the demand for money and the demand for currency as theoretical supports for the demand for coins. The models to estimate the demand for coins are discussed and then the estimations themselves receive...
Show moreThis study includes an historical perspective which gives insight into the reasons for holding coins. Emphasis is given to the particular attributes of coins which differentiate between them and the aggregate money supply. Also included is a survey of relevant literature which concentrates upon the demand for money and the demand for currency as theoretical supports for the demand for coins. The models to estimate the demand for coins are discussed and then the estimations themselves receive attention. The models are estimated using multiple regression, and results tend to confirm the hypothesis that the traditional demand for money function does not precisely explain the demand for coins. The conclusion is, basically, that there are indeed other variables explaining the demand for coins which must be included in the model.
