AB  - Reviews the book, Political Propaganda by F. C. Bartlett (1940). The basic aim of the book is a critique of the assumptions of totalitarian propaganda and the concomitant construction of principles which commit neither the fallacy of despising human intelligence--as do the totalitarians--nor of defying it--as do the heads-in-the-clouds idealists. To that end, Professor Bartlett inspects the evidence in favor of the view that man in the mass betrays a primitive, childlike intelligence, a sport of unconscious urges to be played upon by an elite versed in the secrets of human manipulation. The book, because of its limitations of space, is guilty of a superficial discussion of the history of propaganda and the limitations of various propaganda media. To the reviewer it seems that this section might have been left out in favor of further discussion of propaganda strategy. Another fault is the lack, obvious by its absence, of consideration of the relation of propaganda to the context of events on which it takes place. The most fitting comment the reviewer can make, however, is that Professor Bartlett has crammed into the pages of his slim volume an imposing array of provocative insights, shrewd conclusions, and arresting hypotheses--many of which have stood the test of recent history.

AB  - This article summarizes several research studies that discusses the effects of war on American education. A great number of studies have been made on the effects of war on students attitudes. Other studies were aimed at examining the degree to which war has stimulated federal leadership in education, the effects of war on public opinion, financial support to education, the functions assumed by schools in war situation, nature and extent of war-created curriculum changes, and effects of war on the relative prestige of the teaching profession. But, few studies were of sufficient scope to warrant far reaching conclusions.

AB  - The article focuses on the postwar relationship between the government and business enterprises in the U.S. Awareness of the impact of the war on the civilian economy does not arise alone from the personal inconveniences resulting from rationing, higher taxes and a rising cost of living. Manifestations of a far more significant nature surround the problem. New plants are being constructed in a volume and with a speed far beyond anything people have seen before. New mines are being opened to produce critical materials, for which other countries were formerly relied upon and substitutes are being devised for things people are unable to produce or acquire. The government directly instead of through security issues is financing capital expansion and working capital is being provided by the government or made available through government guaranteed loans. Manufacturers find in the government a single customer and instead of having to seek markets and promote sales, their problem has become one of supplying demands. Even in the case of producers of civilian goods the problem is one of adequate supply rather than the creation of additional demand.

AB  - The article presents a reprint of the article "TV—Problem Child or Teacher's Pet?," by Frieda B. Hennock, which was published in the March 1951 issue of the periodical "New York State Education." When used properly, television in American education can become the teacher's pet instead of the teacher's pet aversion. Television can be utilized to expand the walls of a classroom to include all who wish to enter. Educators can help satisfy the need for adult education in the most practical and economical means via the medium of television. The American public wants better programs and is prepared to listen to and look at them.

AB  - The article focuses on various aspects involved in implementing a nationwide educational television (ETV) system in the U.S. According to the author in this article, achieving a nationwide ETV system is essential, but it is no sport for the short-winded. Those who have worked in the cause of educational broadcasting must feel at times that they are not making progress. What has been achieved has been achieved in the face of a peculiar mental block. It is found on the campus as well as in the offices of commercial broadcasters. The emphasis on entertainment comes from the economic imperatives of the commercial television industry. But fundamentally, television is a medium of communication, not just a medium of entertainment. While communication certainly includes entertainment, it also includes education at all its levels: information, debate, history, music, dance, serious drama, etc. Educational broadcasters have one great advantage over commercial broadcasters: freedom to cater to the mass minority audience, a massive minority wanting to escape from escapist programming. Money, television stations, and a chance to serve an audience are three necessities for a nationwide ETV system.

AB  - The article criticizes the regulations of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In 1927 and 1934 the U.S. Congress purposely provided that and FCC license would be only for the use but not the ownership of the assigned frequency. A six-month license term was originally specified. Later as the industry gained political power, this term was extended to one year and then to three years. For a variety of reasons, the regulation simply has not worked as intended. As in many other instances of regulation of an industry, the FCC has permitted irresponsibility to run rampant, under its imprimatur and protection. Every industry requires some minimal standards of programming, advertising, ownership patterns, technical performance and business practices. The FCC is not providing them nor is the industry doing any better with self-regulation. Competition does not lead to innovation from newcomers to an industry, it also offers a spur to improve performance on the part of those already in the business. The broadcasters have complained that unless competing applications are curtailed, those in the business will have to cut back on investment in programming. In fact, the broadcasters' response to competitive challenges has not been to cut back upon programming, they have responded to competition like any other industry. There are other ways of telling the public of its rights in the license renewal process. Full-page advertisements and repeated intelligible radio and television announcement could be used, instated of the present small-print legal notices and rare and perfunctory broadcast announcements.

AB  - The international telecommunications industry faces an impending crisis. A unique market structure coupled with the impact of certain regulatory decisions combine to generate incentives that distort investment behavior and result in a serious misallocation of resources. Maximum efficient utilization of communications facilities achieved by high load factors and the exhaustion of all economies of scale is not attained. Pricing policies adopted by the firms reinforce the misallocation of resources stemming from investment behavior. The industry has become cartelized and policies are promoted to perpetuate the status quo, thus putting brakes on the impetus to an improvement in existing conditions. In consequence, the problems that plague this industry are likely to continue in the absence of remedial measures. This paper explores the dimensions of the problems existing in the international telecommunications industry and assesses selected aspects of performance by examining the interrelationship of market structure investment behavior, pricing, and regulatory policies.

AB  - The article presents information on the use of multidimensional scaling (MDS) as a research tool. The use of multivariate techniques in financial research has escalated rapidly in recent years. The purpose of this article is to develop briefly the concept of MDS. In order to gain a basic understanding of how MDS operates, a conceptual approach to this topic is utilized. Mathematical tools are used only as a vehicle for aiding the conceptual explanation. The basic purpose of MDS is to formulate a geometric space of several dimensions and locate stimuli and/or respondents in this space. Another fundamental problem in the use of multidimensional scaling is interpreting the dimensions of the derived configuration. A few significant problems are encountered in implementing MDS, and a major limitation involves the naming of dimensions. The problem of interpretation is only beginning once the spatial configuration has been obtained. Potential applications in finance potential applications of MDS in the field of finance are numerous.

AB  - Several years ago James Bonbright and Gardiner Means observed that "the holding company is a relatively new instrument of industrial organization subject to abuse, but also to many desirable uses. It can be employed as a device for avoiding social control. On the other hand, if concentration of industry is desirable, the holding company can be an invaluable aid in bringing it about." This observation applies with equal force today because the holding company is becoming a pervasive influence in both the regulated and nonregulated sectors of our economy. In the regulated sector, the holding company, as a form of corporate organization, increasingly is associated with a trend toward diversification into areas of business that traditionally have not been subject to regulation. The formation of holding companies raises fundamental questions about the role of the regulated firm, the role of regulation, and the underlying philosophy of regulation as firms falling within regulatory jurisdiction use the holding company as a device to expand into areas that have not been subject to regulation.

AB  - The term 'educational radio' includes all radio stations licensed for noncommercial operation. A history of education radio begins with the first domestic law for control of radio in general, the radio act of 1912. Federal communication commission (fcc) regulations pertaining to educational radio or 'public radio' deal with channel assignments, state-wide plans, licensing requirements and service, and operator requirements.

AB  - This study is indicative of the increasing interest in applying financial theory to rate of return regulation of public utilities. Although the title implies the analysis relates solely to public utilities, many of the topics analyzed have applicability to non-regulated firms. Professor Gordon examines various theories of security valuation and the resultant cost of capital models, and empirically tests these theories using data from the electric utility industry (1958-68).

AB  - When NASA announced in 1960 that private enterprise would produce communication satellites, rather than the Federal government, several large corporations proposed a joint venture involving a group of international carriers and electronic manufacturers, while American Telephone and Telegraph requested sole ownership. At that time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) appointed an ad hoc working group to formulate preliminary recommendations for a general course of action. This group favored a narrow base of ownership maintained solely by international carriers engaged in international telephone and telegraph communication. The Justice Department and the Kennedy Administration disagreed with the FCC proposal, however, and sought a joint satellite venture that assured competition and haste in production. After great debate, Congress passed a compromise bill that provided for a private communication satellite corporation (COMSAT) with stock divided equally between the public and the communication carriers. In addition, provisions in the bill allowed for supervision by NASA, the State Department, and the FCC. (MAI)

AB  - The article comments on laws and legislation related to automobile repairs. The author discusses the financial investment that comes with owning an automobile, specifically the annual cost of repairs. He notes that to help consumers avoid being subject to unnecessary costs some U.S. states have begun to require certification or licensing among mechanics or offer some type of consumer awareness course to help educate car owners. The author suggests that there is a research void that needs to be filled to examine the effectiveness of these licensing programs and consumer education courses in order to direct legislation on how to regulate the automobile repair industry.

AB  - This article assesses the impact of floating exchange rates on international capital market integration. The advantages of using factor analysis over other approaches to assess the degree of capital market integration are discussed. The author notes that exchange rate uncertainty is not the only factor affecting capital market integration. Corporate bond markets are analyzed, showing a convergence in yield movements in the transition period followed by a large degree of segmentation in the floating rate period. A general statement regarding the impact of exchange rate regimes on capital market integration is considered to be impossible.

AB  - A method is developed for imputing missing values when the probability of response depends upon the variable being imputed. The missing data problem is viewed as one of parameter estimation in a regression model with stochastic censoring of the dependent variable. The prediction approach to imputation is used to solve this estimation problem. Wages and salaries are imputed to nonrespondents in the Current Population Survey and the results are compared to the nonrespondents' IRS wage and salary data. The stochastic censoring approach gives improved results relative to a prediction approach that ignores the response mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As to claim (b), I find that deregulation appears to push prices temporarily below the unregulated level only because M-D's deregulated group of 7 markets mistakenly includes 4 regulated markets from New Jersey, a state with abnormally low prices. Once New Jersey is properly classified, no significant difference can be found between deregulated and unregulated groups with respect to any of the dependent variables, suggesting that the distinction between these two groups is unwarranted. Even if proper empirical support for claim (b) had been found, it would still lack theoretical support. M-D's theoretical model implies the short-run deregulated price may lie above or below the long-run unregulated level, not necessarily below it as the authors infer. Because their model implies nothing about the effect of regulation on excess plant capacity, and because "excess capacity" (i.e., unexhausted economies of scale, as they use the term) is not something capable of being accumulated and later utilized when released, there is no basis for the hypothesis that deregulation "causes prices to fall to levels below even an unregulated market as excess capacity built up during regulation is utilized" (p. 259). Finally, I identify and correct a number of other unexplained omissions and data errors. In combination with the exclusion of North Dakota and misclassification of New Jersey, M-D's other omissions so severely deplete their sample size that more than half of the few remaining regulated markets are located in Pennsylvania alone. This fact cannot be deduced by readers, since M-D provide little description of their markets. They report only that the United States was separated into nine regions, one of which contains New Jersey (p. 257). Clearly, any results derived from their data set must be dominated by that form of regulation peculiar to Pennsylvania and, for this reason alone, should be interpreted with caution.

AB  - This article focuses on externalities in automobile insurance and the problem of underinsured driver in the U.S. A substantial number of drivers in the U.S. appear to be partially or completely uninsured against automobile accident losses. If an individual's assets would not suffice to pay relatively large liability claims or no-fault damages, some of the benefit from insuring such losses will accrue to third parties--to the potential victims who could end up with uncollectable claims against him or to the taxpayers who finance the welfare system. Because he does not take this external benefit into account, an individual may be reluctant to insure large losses, even if he has positive wealth and is averse to risk. If limited liability or a government welfare system cause a driver to underinsure, they will also distort his decision to take those actions that would reduce his expected accident losses and that are observable by insurers. Whenever an accident occurs, it is assumed that one of the parties is injured and another is found negligent. The injured party may be a driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian. However, the party found negligent is always a driver.

N2  - Two sequential games of the interactions among a PAC and two politicians contesting the same office are developed, and their subgame perfect equilibria are characterized. The politicians have distinct ideal points in policy space, and this drives the result that the policy platforms they campaign on are not identical. The PAC always contributes only to the politician whose platform is closest to the PAC's ideal point, who is the politician whose ideal point is closest to the PAC's ideal point; as a result, both politicians' policy platforms are closer to the PAC's ideal point. The sequence of play does not qualitatively affect the outcome, but the PAC has a second mover advantage. Exogenous shocks to the probabilities of winning only modify the basic outcome.

AB  - The breakup of AT&T Corp. in 1984 into a long-distance and manufacturing component and seven local-service companies, the Bell operating companies, created the opportunity for billions of dollars of annual economic efficiency gains for the U.S. economy. These potential annual efficiency gains arise in part from the establishment of a rational price system for telephone services. At the time of the breakup basic access to the telephone network received a large cross subsidy from other telephone services, that is, the price of basic access was well below its incremental or marginal cost. The largest component of this cross subsidy arises from the prices of long-distance services which are well in excess of their incremental cost. Economists were aware of this problem and in !he 1970's recommended that long- distance prices be decreased and basic access prices be increased. Indeed, to a first approximation if the basic access price elasticity is zero, the first-best tax solution of a lump-sum tax on basic access is available, which eliminates the loss in economic efficiency. Income-distribution problems arise but these problems can be solved by a targeted subsidy to low-income households.

AB  - I explain why a monopolist would knowingly create excess demand. Suppose customers initially do not know their valuation for a good but over time become informed. Although customers prefer purchasing after becoming informed, a monopolist prefers selling to customers while uninformed, because a group of uninformed customers has a more homogeneous (expected) valuation for the good than do informed customers. Selling fewer units than the number of customers induces customers to purchase while uninformed, because anyone waiting to purchase until becoming informed finds no units available. This ‘buying frenzy’ behavior allows the monopolist to set price above the ‘informed’ market-clearing price. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This paper examines cross-subsidy, moral hazard, and bank liability issues related to the provision of federal deposit insurance by "rerunning' its implementation, i.e., determining fair premium values, over the period 1927-32. The pre-1933 period was characterized by historically high asset-price volatility, a large number of bank failures, and a weak federal safety net. In this economic context, we find a high degree of self-insurance on the part of the banks in our sample, both in terms of higher overall capital levels and a strong correlation between capital levels and asset volatility. Potentially large, regional cross-subsidies among banks were also found. (c) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

N2  - Several studies have used spectral analysis to analyze stock market data and conclude that the spectrum of price changes is "white noise" or very nearly so. This paper argues that such results are an artifact of improperly analyzing the data. For a random sample of twenty stocks from the NYSE, it is shown that stock price changes are not even approximately white noise, and the spectra of individual stocks vary substantially. Additionally, cross spectral analysis reveals marked differences between the interaction of price changes and volume, and contradicts "stylized facts" from time domain analyses of the price-volume relation.

AB  - This study hypothesizes that consumers' willingness to purchase counterfeit products is positively related to product performance expectations and negatively related to attitudes toward lawfulness. Support was found for the latter and mixed support for the former. Contingent hypotheses specified that extrinsic cues determine willingness to purchase a counterfeit. As hypothesized, branding and price conditions influence willingness to purchase low, but not high, investment-at-risk products; retailer condition influences willingness to purchase high, but not low, investment-at-risk products. Participating in the experiment were two hundred twenty-one upper division business students. Model parameters were estimated by ordinal logit analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Economists often ask how private information is shared through markets, costly signaling, and other mechanisms. Yet most information sharing is done through ordinary, informal talk. Economists are inconsistent in their view of such 'cheap talk': sometimes it is supposed that communication generally leads to efficient equilibria; other times it is supposed that since 'talk is cheap,' it is never credible. The authors think both views are wrong. In this paper, they describe what some recent research in game theory teaches about when people will convey private information by cheap talk.

AB  - Derivation of prediction intervals in the k-variable regression model is problematic when future-period values of exogenous variables are not known with certainty. Even in the most favourable case when the forecasts of the exogenous variables are jointly normal, the distribution of the forecast error is non-normal, and thus traditional asymptotic normal theory does not apply. This paper presents an alternative bootstrap method. In contrast to the traditional predictor of the future value of the endogenous variable, which is known to be inconsistent, the bootstrap predictor converges weakly to the true value. Monte Carlo results show that the bootstrap prediction intervals can achieve approximately nominal coverage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this article the author discusses the communications power of the Internet and declares the marketing potential to be enormous as long as the free flow of information is not checked. He describes a series of choke points where Internet communication can become trapped. In emphasizing the need for competition, he notes that it will prevent any one business entity controlling access to the Internet which would inhibit marketing activity. He advocates strict antitrust control of the network to promote competition. The marketing impact of the Internet derives not necessarily from the information it carries, but in the manner in which it is carried.

N2  - In franchising, many of the elements of moral hazard models merge. Issues of two-sided moral hazard, bonding, and asset specificity all play a role. The authors extend the literature by considering how asset specificity creates an implicit bond and affects incentive pay. This approach implies that, if one party posts a larger bond, this improves their incentives and allows enhancement of the other party's incentives through a larger residual income claim. The authors' empirical work supports this approach. For example, reductions in the specificity of the franchisee's investment due to leasing lowers the royalty rate and raises the franchise fee.

AB  - This paper tests for the presence of adverse selection in thoroughbred yearling auction markets. Thoroughbred auctions consist of two seller types. sellers who breed horses to race and sell (racers) and sellers who take all their yearlings to auction (breeders). If racers use private information, keeping those yearlings with a higher probability of on-track success, they are likely to receive a lower price for similar yearlings as compared to breeders. Using data from Keeneland's 1994 September yearling sale, we find support for this hypothesis. We improve on previous studies by analyzing the distinction between seller types on a continuous scale.

N2  - Many studies have argued against the strict form of the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) by concluding that a lagged relationship exists between volume and the absolute value of a price change. These studies have denied a priori the possibility of a contemporaneous relationship. If a simultaneous relationship exists then least squares with only lagged variables suffers from omitted variable bias, and least squares with contemporaneous variables may suffer from simultaneous equations bias. Investigating these possibilities, this study demonstrates that simultaneity exists and that previous findings of a lagged relationship between the variables are therefore due to specification error. System estimation techniques suggest that the price-volume relationship is recursive, with the absolute value of a price change causing volume contemporaneously, but not conversely.

N2  - In this paper we consider the question of allocating costs and setting prices for customers in a variety of queuing systems. We will focus on the problem of setting users fees within an organization for a shared resource, such as a computer center. We argue that both the Aumann-Shapley pricing rule, and a pricing rule based on the Shapley value of a finite game, are appropriate cost allocation methodologies. These approaches allow us to explicitly determine prices for customers in a queuing situation, who differ from one another in terms of their arrival rates, service rates, costs of lost work, and the number of simultaneous servers which they require.

N2  - The double bootstrap is an important advance in confidence interval generation because it converges faster than the already popular single bootstrap. Yet the usual double bootstrap requires a stable pivot that is not always available, e.g., when estimating flexibilities or substitution elasticities. A recently developed double bootstrap does not require a pivot. A Monte Carlo analysis with the Waugh data finds the double bootstrap achieves nominal coverage whereas the single bootstrap does not. A useful artifice dramatically decreases the computational time of the double bootstrap.

AB  - Conventional wisdom holds that the enactment of federal deposit insurance helped small rural banks at the expense of large urban institutions. This paper uses asymmetric-information, agency-cost paradigms from corporate-finance theory and data on bank stock prices to show how deposit insurance could and did help stockholders of large banks. The broadening stockholder distribution of large banks during the stock-market bubble of the late 1920s undermined the efficiency of double liability provisions in controlling incentive conflict among large-bank stakeholders. Federal deposit insurance restored depositor confidence by asking government officials to take over and bond the task of monitoring managerial performance and solvency at U.S. banks.

AB  - Different methods for calculating partial autocorrelation coefficients can produce different estimates, and these differences can be non-trivial. It has long been known that the Yule-Walker equations are particularly susceptible to numerical error, yet it is the most widely used method in statistical and econometric software. Two other methods, conditional maximum likelihood and Burg's algorithm are known to be more reliable, yet are infrequently used. All three methods are applied to several datasets. A forecasting example shows that a model identified by Yule-Walker can produce inferior forecasts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using data on 560 firm-commitment initial public offerings of common stock for the 1982-1983 period, we find that the cross-sectional distribution of one-day returns is modeled better as a mixture of two distributions, with the parameter estimates of one distribution being consistent with underpricing and the other with price stabilization. Further, the evidence that early IPO returns are drawn from a mixture distribution persists for at least four weeks. The implications of these results for the analysis of IPO returns are illustrated by examining the influence of a measure of ex ante price uncertainty on IPO pricing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To address this problem the Federal Communications Commission reallocated spectrum for more flexible use in bands tha are partially occupied by incumbent license holders. We examine the experience of broadband Personal Communications Service entrants in relocating microwave incumbents. We conclude with some remarks on how these ideas might be applied to digital television spectrum.

AB  - This paper addresses the evaluation of nonlinear methods in econometric software, taking GARCH procedures as a case study, in particular, it analyzes seven widely used packages, utilizing a recently developed benchmark. Four of the packages are found to be unsuitable, in most cases because the developer either does not specifically indicate which of the many possible GARCH models is being estimated, or does not accommodate the most common model specified in the applied literature, or both. A principal finding is that implementation of the GARCH procedure varies so widely that two packages ostensibly doing the same thing actually may be estimating substantively different models. This lack of standardization raises several questions concerning the evaluation of software. These include the issues normally associated with the creation of benchmarks, but also the critical role that software plays, and can play, in the development of modern econometrics.

N2  - Cost allocation problems arise in many contexts in economics and management science. In a typical problem that we have in mind, a decision maker must decide how to allocate the joint cost of production among several commodities using prices. Furthermore, these prices must satisfy certain reasonable postulates among which is the requirement that total revenue associated with these prices must cover total cost. In this paper, we investigate a generalization of Aumann-Shapley pricing, called Weighted Aumann-Shapley pricing, that allows for asymmetric pricing of commodities even when those commodities affect costs in a symmetric fashion. Weighted AS pricing is a natural extension of (symmetric) Aumann-Shapley pricing, and may be considered a non-atomic analogue of Owen's modified diagonal formula (with respect to the multilinear extension) for the weighted TU Shapley Value.

N2  - An issue of growing importance In telecommunications policy is the relationship between interconnection for domestic and international telephony. While international telephony's need for international transport is an inherent distinction, that factor will not determine distinctions in interconnection arrangements. Under the existing pricing structure for telephony, cross-border rent shifting is the key Issue. Innovations in the pricing structure for telephony, whether through Internet telephony or other avenues, offer the potential for changing the structure of interconnection negotiations and eliminating distinctions between international and domestic telephony interconnection.

AB  - This study investigates bank consolidation and safety-net support provision in Canada, the UK and the US over a 100-year historical period, and the impact of these policy variables on bank capital and risk-taking choices. The study finds that consolidation and strengthened safety nets have largely supplanted the historical role of high bank capital levels in providing protection to risk-adverse depositors. Furthermore, despite strengthened safety-net guarantees, the study finds that bank asset-risk choices in the 1980s are comparable to those observed in the 1890s, while bank equity volatilities have shown approximately a 10-fold increase over this period. Finally, the study finds that bank capital ratios are as asset-risk sensitive in the 1980s as those in the 1890s, perhaps reflecting residual market discipline or regulatory moral-suasion effects.

AB  - This paper relies on an engineering optimization model of the local telecom munication exchange network to calibrate the functions entering various regulatory mechanisms, from both traditional and modern (incentive) regu lation, and evaluate their relative performance. The engineering process model is used to generate data, which are econometrically synthesized in a translog economic cost function. Using this estimated cost function and some empirical and institutional information on market and regulatory conditions, we then calibrate demand, social-surplus, and disutility-of(cost-reducing)-effort functions. These functions, together with probability distributions reflecting the regulator's beliefs about technology characteris tics, allow us to quantitatively assess the social value of regulatory transfers and of good cost auditing procedures, the redistributive consequences of the various forms of regulation, and the sensitivity of their relative performance to the cost of public funds.

Our data suggest a significantly negative relationship between first bidder premia and toeholds, which is consistent with the models of Shleifer and Vishny (1986) and Hirshleifer and Titman (1990), but inconsistent with the models of Harrington and Prokop (1993), Chowdhry and Jagadeesh (1994). and Burkart (1995),.

N2  - Data is presented on advertising and promotional expenses for US long distance telephone services from 1988 to 1997. In transforming telephone companies from state-owned utilities to competitive firms we should acknowledge that advertising and promotions will become significant expenses. Policy analysts and policy makers should recognize these expenses in assessing the costs and benefits of promoting particular types of competition in specific historical and institutional circumstances.

AB  - The paper discusses the numerical reliability of econometric software. The paper presents several cases of numerical discrepancies between econometric packages. These numerical problems can effect random number generators and statistical distributions. These problems can be solved only by a concerted effort on the part of users, developers and the economics profession as a whole. Users should recognize that accuracy is at least as important as either speed or user-friendliness. Users should be cognizant of the fact that writing accurate software is more demanding than writing either fast or friendly software. Developers need to benchmark their software. This does not mean developers should suspend implementation of new procedures and devote all their resources to developing needed benchmarks. At the very least, it means that developers should make use of existing benchmarks and others which will be developed in the future. When a benchmark exists for a procedure, the developer should note in the manual that the procedure achieves the benchmark, or else explain why it does not. Moreover, developers need to document their procedures better. Accurate econometric software is not just the responsibility of the developers, it requires active participation by the profession.

N2  - In contrast to previous literature, we argue that are two types of poorly performing firms going private through a leveraged buyout (LBO). One group consists of firms in which managers own an insignificant fraction of their firm's stock and are vulnerable to a hostile takeover. The other group consists of firms in which managers own a significant fraction of their firm's stock and so face little risk of hostile takeover. Our evidence indicates that there are two such groups of LBOs and that their motivations and posttransaction actions are different.

AB  - We examine the diffusion of a hardware/software system. For such systems there is interdependence between the hardware-adoption decisions of consumers and the supply decisions of software manufacturers. Hence there can be bottlenecks to the diffusion of the system. We consider the CD industry and estimate the (direct) elasticity of adoption with respect to CD player prices and the (cross) elasticity with respect to the variety of CD titles. Our results show that the cross elasticity is significant. Our model can be used to quantify the effect of various policies aimed at speeding up the diffusion of a system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - After a long period of awarding spectrum licenses inefficiently, changes in the budget and budgetary process coupled with increases in the value of the spectrum for non-broadcast use led Congress to allow the Federal Communications Commission to award licenses through competitive bidding. Contrary to the perceived view of government bureaucracies as excessively cautious, the FCC used the newfound authority to adopt a novel approach to auction design--simultaneous multiple round auctions. The innovative auction design would not have been adopted without the successful collaboration between government economists and academic economists, who helped to formulate and refine the design so that decision makers at the FCC could be convinced that the novel technique was both superior and practical. The FCC's implementation of competitive bidding was not only rapid as mandated by Congress, but also much less costly than outside alternatives and allowed the integration of spectrum policy decisions and auction design. Experience from several auctions has led to a number of open questions and refinements. The FCC is trying to replicate the success with the original auction design by facilitating dialog between the agency and outside auction experts in order to address these issues.

N2  - The European Commission's 1999 Review provides a statement of regulatory principles and sets out a framework for communications and infrastructures services. But, despite the review's five principles of good regulation commanding widespread agreement in principle, there exists a gap between policy talk and action in the telecommunications industry Implementing a regulatory regime that helps to unlock the potential for new network services remains a difficult but crucially important task. Rather than merely stating an abstract commitment to promote competition, regulators should look for simple, significant policy actions that foster a propitious structure for the most beneficial forms of competition. This article argues that regulators should establish a geographically comprehensive lattice of competing, independently owned network interconnection points from which telephony operators are required to provide zero-price telephony call termination. Other forms of intrusive regulation of intercompany interconnection and access, such as mandatory collocation, loop unbundling and line sharing, should be avoided or rapidly phased out. These actions would provide a needed framework for telecommunications capacity markets and bandwidth trading, encourage the rapid development and roll-out of new, broadband network services and foster a more even geographic diffusion of such services.

AB  - The application of entry-level reliability tests has uncovered many errors in statistical and econometric software packages. Studies by McCullough and Altman and MacDonald have found many errors in econometric software packages. In fact, some packages are so inaccurate that they give incorrect answers to simple textbook errors. Errors have also been found in statistical distributions of packages. Discovering errors in econometric software packages is important for the professional forecaster because his own job depends on the accuracy of his forecasts. On the other hand, for the academician forecasting is a matter of science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Increase in the use of conservation practices by agriculture in the United States will enhance soil organic carbon and potentially increase carbon sequestration. This, in turn, will decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. A number of studies exist that calibrate the contribution of various individual, site-specific conservation practices on changes in soil organic carbon. There is a general absence, however, of a comprehensive effort to measure objectively the contribution of these practices including conservation tillage, the Conservation Reserve Program, and conservation buffer strips to an change in soil organic carbon. This paper fills that void. After recounting the evolution of the use of the various conservation practices, it is estimated that organic carbon in the soil in 1998 in the United States attributable to these practices was about 12.2 million metric tons. By 2008, there will be an increase of about 25%. Given that there is a significant potential for conservation practices, which could lead to an increase in carbon sequestration, there are a number of policy options that can be pursued. These include education and technical assistance, financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - We investigate the measurement and valuation of intangible capital in the wireless telecommunications industry. Four specific sources of intangible capital are investigated: advertising, research and development (R&D), radio spectrum licenses, and measures of installed customer base. All four sources of intangible capital explain a statistically significant portion of the variation in Tobin's q, but the variation explained by R&D is subsumed by that explained by licenses. Together, licenses and advertising explain over 60% of the variation in q, and licenses are the much more powerful predictor of the two. The industry average q exceeds ten, and it appears that the failure of financial accounting statements to reasonably value licenses plays a substantial role in causing these extraordinarily high q ratios.

AB  - Soil erosion has both on-farm and off-farm impacts. Reduction of soil depth can impair the land's productivity, and the transport of sediments can degrade streams, lakes, and estuaries. Since 1933, soil conservation policies have existed in the United States. Originally they focused on the on-farm benefits of keeping soil on the land and increasing net farm income. Beginning in the 1980s, however, policy goals increasingly included reductions in off-site impacts of erosion. As a consequence of conservation efforts associated with explicit U.S. government policies, total soil erosion between 1982 and 1992 was reduced by 32% and the sheet and rill erosion rate fell from an average of 4.1 tons per acre per year in 1982 to 3.1 tons per acre in 1992 while the wind erosion rate fell from an average of 3.3 tons per acre per year to 2.4 tons per acre per year over the same period. Still, soil erosion is imposing substantial social costs. These costs are estimated to be about $37.6 billion annually. To further reduce soil erosion and thereby mitigate its social costs, there are a number of policy options available to induce farmers to adopt conservation practices including education and technical assistance, financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes.

AB  - In this analysis we examine the market entry patterns of new local telephone companies. We construct and estimate a multinomial logit model using information describing numbering code distribution within local telephone markets and the associated income, density, and regulatory characteristics of these markets. Our findings support the conventional wisdom that facilities-based entry by new local competitors is more likely to occur in large urban telephone markets. In addition, we present evidence that, with the exception of territories served by Ameritech, entry is more likely to occur in Bell Operating Company service territories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - If governments are really to stimulate the information society, they must lead from the front. That means redesigning government communications from the ground up, in ways that engage citizens and encourage e-commerce. Local portals could pave the way--but first they must win over Web users from other communications channels. That means attracting the best content, and one way for governments to do that is to set a standard in pricing and marketing their own data.

AB  - Incentive regulation for some of the services provided by local exchange carriers in the U.S. telecommunications industry is based on price caps. Under price caps, a regulated firm's average real prices for services it provides are required to fall by a specified percentage each year. This percentage is known as the X-factor. An important component of the X-factor is productivity change for local exchange carriers providing interstate access service. Two separate approaches to measuring the change in productivity are considered. The total factor productivity approach (TFP), which is currently used in regulatory proceedings in the telecommunications industry, quantifies the change in output less the change in input and classifies it as the measure of productivity growth. There are a number of limitations with this approach. An alternative is proposed-the hybrid cost proxy model (HCPM)-which is an engineering process model that does not possess the limitations of the total factor productivity approach. The model combines engineering principles of design for the local loop, switching, and interoffice networks with economic principles of cost minimization. The two separate approaches are empirically implemented for Bell Atlantic, Inc.-Maryland for the period from 1985 to 1997. The results suggest that the realized productivity growth as measured by the total factor productivity approach is somewhat less than what would have been achieved had the network been optimally configured as indicated by the HCPM approach.

N2  - Incentive regulation is designed to improve productive efficiency, enhance service quality and consumer welfare, and reduce the costs of regulation. The issue that is considered here is whether incentive regulation in the form of a price cap applicable to interstate access service to local loops in the telecommunications industry in the United States has resulted in an increase in the technical efficiency and allocative efficiency of local exchange carriers. The results suggest that for changes in technical efficiency, there is a definite randomness between 1985 and 1993 with technical efficiency increasing in some years and decreasing in others. Subsequent to 1993, however, there is a consistent improvement in technical efficiency. Given that incentive regulation in the form of price caps was implemented in 1991, it is likely that some portion of the improvement in technical efficiency subsequent to 1993 is attributable to incentive regulation.

AB  - The advantage of using insurance to help a farmer adopt a best nitrogen management plan (BNMP) that reduces the impact of agricultural production on the environment is analytically and empirically demonstrated. Using an expected value analysis, it is shown that an insurance program can be structured so as to reduce a farmer's cost of bearing the adoption risk associated with changing production practices and, thus, to improve the farmer's certainty equivalent net return thereby promoting the adoption of a BNMP. Using the adoption of growing-season only N fertilizer application in Iowa as a case study, it is illustrated how insurance may be used to promote the adoption of this practice to reduce N fertilizer use. It is shown that it is possible for a farmer and an insurance company both to have an incentive to develop an insurance adoption program that will benefit both the farmer and the insurance company, increasing net social welfare and improving environmental quality in Iowa.

N2  - The price that a regulated access provider charges for shifting customers between service providers has significant welfare implications. Typical regulatory approaches to pricing, such as pricing based on fully allocated cost or incremental cost, ignore the characteristics of consumer demand. A theoretical alternative, Ramsey pricing, considers only the elasticity of demand for given products. This paper directs attention to the competitive process. Using US long-distance telephone services as an example, this paper shows how empirical evidence concerning customer acquisition costs, customer switching costs, and churn among service providers can help to inform price regulation.

AB  - Incentive regulation has become an important regulatory tool in the telecommunications industry in the United States. The issue explored here is whether incentive regulation has resulted in an increase in productive efficiency. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, a methodology for measuring technical inefficiency and its change is introduced. This is a stochastic frontier production function approach reflecting technical inefficiency effects. The results of implementing this methodology suggest that in the production of interLATA billed access minutes for interstate calls, there was no change in technical efficiency, something that incentive regulation was specifically designed to enhance. Finally, an assessment of technical efficiency across individual LECs in the United States indicates considerable variability. Published in 2001 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The issue explored is whether incentive regulation in the telecommunications industry in the United States has resulted in an increase in productive efficiency. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, the methodology for measuring the effects of incentive regulation on productive efficiency is reviewed. This methodology is data envelopment analysis (DEA) and allows for the measurement of both technical efficiency and allocative efficiency of individual local exchange carriers. The results of empirically implementing the DEA approach indicate that in the aggregate there is little change in technical efficiency. In fact, average technical efficiency in 1989 was the same as in 1998. Next, while outputs continued to grow at about their historical rate across LECs, the sizeable increase in the two types of capital increased inputs well above their historical average rates for some LECs leading to short-run allocative inefficiency. On average, however, allocative efficiency shows no identifiable trend between 1988 and 1998. Finally, in the aggregate, total economic efficiency, what incentive regulation in the telecommunications industry in the United States was designed to promote, does not have a demonstrable trend between 1988 and 1998.

AB  - Soil erosion has both on-farm and off-farm impacts. Reduction of soil depth can impair the land's productivity, and the transport of sediments can degrade streams, lakes, and estuaries. Since 1933, soil conservation policies have existed in the United States. Originally they focused on the on-farm benefits of keeping soil on the land and increasing net farm income. Beginning in the 1980s, however, policy goals increasingly included reductions in off-site impacts of erosion. As a consequence of conservation efforts associated with explicit U.S. government policies, total soil erosion between 1982 and 1992 was reduced by 32% and the sheet and rill erosion rate fell from an average of 4.1 tons per acre per year in 1982 to 3.1 tons per acre in 1992. Wind erosion rate fell from an average of 3.3 tons per acre per year to 2.4 tons per acre per year over the same period. Still, soil erosion is imposing substantial social costs. These costs are estimated to be about $37.6 billion annually. To further reduce soil erosion and thereby mitigate its social costs, there are a number of policy options available to induce farmers to adopt conservation practices including education and technical assistance, financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes.

AB  - Increase in the use of conservation practices by agriculture in the United States will enhance soil organic carbon and potentially increase carbon sequestration. This, in turn, will decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. A number of studies exist that calibrate the contribution of various individual, site-specific conservation practices on changes in soil organic carbon. There is a general absence, however, of a comprehensive effort to measure objectively the contribution of these practices including conservation tillage, the Conservation Reserve Program, and conservation buffer strips to an change in soil organic carbon. This paper fills that void. After recounting the evolution of the use of the various conservation practices, it is estimated that organic carbon in the soil in 1998 in the United States attributable to these practices was about 12.2 million metric tons. By 2008, there will be an increase of about 25%. Given that there is a significant potential for conservation practices to lead to an increase in carbon sequestration, there are a number of policy options that can be pursued. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The issue explored is whether incentive regulation in the telecommunications industry in the United States has resulted in an increase in productive efficiency. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, the methodology for measuring the effects of incentive regulation on productive efficiency is reviewed. An approach is introduced that not only provides a measure of the change in productivity but also allows for a decomposition into two mutually exclusive and exhaustive components--changes in technical efficiency over time and shifts in technology over time. Using annual data on four output measures and six input measures for the period 1988-1999 for nineteen individual local exchange carriers, the results indicate that productivity increased by about 4.9% per year. This growth is due primarily to innovation rather than improvements in efficiency. Of the 19 LECs in the sample, 12 were operating efficiently throughout the entire 1988-1999 period. Of the remaining seven, three showed a slight improvement in efficiency while the efficiency of four declined. In the aggregate, however, there was virtually no change in efficiency.

N2  - In this article, the authors outline an efficient, market-based cost-distribution scheme that enables networks to offer their customers different choices in quality and price. Such choice is not possible under the current regulatory scheme that co-mingles networks' costs and then redistributes them according to artificial regulatory distinctions. Telecommunications networks are multiplying rapidly in today's information economy, and they all need to exchange traffic between each other smoothly. For decades, federal regulation has governed how those exchanges take place and how their costs should be distributed among the interconnected networks. Unfortunately, the cost distribution regulations are a crazy quilt of inconsistent rules that bear little relation to today's market realities or tomorrow's needs. The resulting mischief and inefficiency are becoming serious problems for the telecommunications industry.

N2  - The analysis in this paper considers the problem of excessive originating and terminating access charges imposed by some competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) in the United States. The problem arises because the current institutional structure provides an incentive for CLECs to charge for access service in excess of what a competitive market would indicate. An examination of the data shows that the problem of excessive access charges imposed by CLECs is very real. An analysis of terminating access charges for September 2000 reveals that average terminating access charges billed to three interexchange carriers (IXCs) are excessive, exceeding average price cap regulated incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) access charges by 370-470 percent. Some solutions to the problem are offered including a first-best solution whereby the calling party would be required to pay for originating access service and have the receiving party pay for terminating access service. A second-best solution would be to limit CLEC's access charges to an IXC to be less than or equal to the access charges of the ILEC with which it directly competes for customers.

AB  - This article measures the effect of an increase in productivity attributable to an increase in soil organic carbon associated with the increase in the use of conservation practices in agriculture in the United States. Both the direct and indirect effects are calibrated. The analytical approach used consists of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model composed of 14 producing sectors, 10 consuming sectors, seven household categories classified by income, and a government. The results suggest that the impact of a change in productivity is an increase in output over a six year period starting in 1998 in field crops. The most significant impact is felt in the livestock sector. This is because field crops are a major input in the production of livestock. The food processing sector also exhibits a relatively large increase because of the increase in inputs of both field crops and livestock. Manufacturing output increases primarily because overall investment rises and most investment utilizes manufacturing goods. The other producing sectors are generally unaffected by the increase in agricultural production due to an increase in soil organic carbon. Coincident with the increase in the production of field crops is a relatively large decrease in the price of field crops. Other noticeable price reductions occur in the livestock sector and the food processing sector. For the consuming sectors, the consumption of food and alcohol and tobacco increase but consumption in all of the other sectors remains basically unchanged. Prices in the food and alcohol and tobacco sectors decline by about 1% while the prices in the other sectors remain static. Household welfare increases in the aggregate by only 0.1% with this increase occurring uniformly across all household categories. Revenue received by the government increases a modest 2% in response to an increase in output and, hence, an increase in taxes paid. The results indicate that there are significant production benefits for several sectors that can be realized by an increase in the use of conservation practices in agricultural production which, in turn, enhances soil organic carbon. There are a number of policy options available to promote the use of conservation practices. These include education and technical assistance, financial assistance, research and development, land retirement, and regulation and taxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Calculation of the productivity offset or the X-factor used in setting price caps has a fundamental flaw when it is based on conventional growth accounting total factor productivity analysis. The problem is discussed in the context of incentive regulation used by the Federal Communications Commission in the United States and the appropriate correction is indicated. An example of the problem and its correction, using the access charge for interstate service in telecommunications, is provided. The correction shows that the appropriate X-factor is 12 percent greater than that based on conventional growth accounting total factor productivity analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article explores factors explaining program cast racial composition on television broadcast network programs. The roles of program type, cast composition, and viewer income on advertising revenue are examined. The analysis of the data yields several key findings. First, there is no bias against African Americans on the part of viewers or television networks when adjusting for viewer income and age. Second, African Americans have lower incomes and show a strong intensity of preference for programming featuring African American cast members. Therefore, despite the absence of bias, the advertiser-supported broadcast market likely produces less than the socially optimal amount of African American programming. This article provides policy recommendations to increase viewer benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This paper explores the rebalancing of prices for voice service in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) from conceptual and empirical perspectives. We determine the overall cost and structure of a standardized basket of residential and business services. Our data indicate that during the 1994-2000 period the degree of rate rebalancing was significantly higher in the EU than in the US. While the developments at the level of EU Member States are more heterogeneous and the process of rate rebalancing is not completed, these findings correspond to the predictions derived from our comparative institutional analysis.

AB  - Incentive regulation has become an important regulatory tool in the telecommunications industry in the United States. The issue explored here is whether incentive regulation has resulted in an increase in technical efficiency. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, a methodology for measuring technical efficiency and its change is introduced. This is a multiple-output/multiple-input distance function approach to measuring technical efficiency. The results of implementing this approach for 19 local exchange carriers for the 1988–1999 period indicate that in the production of local service, intrastate toll/access service, and interstate access to local loops, there was no change in technical efficiency between the 1988–1990 period and the 1991–1999 period, something that incentive regulation was specifically designed to promote.

N2  - The issue explored is whether incentive regulation of local exchange carriers in the USA has resulted in an increase in efficiency. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, the methodology for measuring the effects of incentive regulation on efficiency is reviewed. This methodology is data envelopment analysis and allows for the measurement of both technical efficiency and allocative efficiency of individual local exchange carriers. The results of empirically implementing the data envelopment approach (DEA) approach indicate that there is little change in technical efficiency. In fact average technical efficiency in 1988 was the same as in 2001. Next, while outputs continued to grow at about their historical rate across LECs, the sizeable increase in the two types of capital increased inputs well above their historical average rates for some LECs leading to short run allocative inefficiency. On average, however, allocative efficiency shows no identifiable trend between 1988 and 2001. Finally, in the aggregate, total economic efficiency does not demonstrate any trend between 1988 and 2001.

AB  - The fate of humans has been intertwined with the fate of other animals since human ancestors scavenged the carcasses of non-human animals, nearly six million years ago. Feeding upon the meat of other animals gave these early humans a boost of protein, providing their brains with extra energy for higher level thinking. Thus began the rise of humanity and the flourishing of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens, apes, monkeys, and Neanderthals, among others share a common ancestor. One of the more significant events in human evolution is when Homo sapiens and its direct ancestor Australopithecus africanus, began to eat meat.

N2  - In 1991 the FCC implemented a price cap plan for local exchange carriers' interstate access service designed to deal with the regulatory boundaries problem arising from the breakup of AT&T in 1984. The experience with the price cap plan demonstrates the difficulty of predicting productivity growth accurately and makes clear that regulators cannot depend upon a pure price cap plan to keep prices within a reasonable range of costs. With periodic reviews to readjust plan parameters, however, a price cap plan can maintain the rate-of-return close to the target rate-of-return without diminishing the price cap plan's incentives for efficient production. A simple method of recalculating the X-factor based on the rate-of-return over the previous three years worked well in simulations. If this procedure had been used over the price cap period 1991 to 2000, prices would have been 20 percent lower and expenditures on LECs' telecommunications service subject to a price cap would have been $3.8 billion lower.

N2  - State monopolization or taxation are supposedly justified because of negative externalities from alcohol consumption, but recent research questions the efficacy of such policies, suggesting that their actual goals may be revenue-generation. Consideration of this hypothesis is facilitated by estimates of the implicit taxes charged in monopoly states, which generally are substantially higher than taxes in non-monopoly states. Evidence that monopolization and high taxes do not affect the level of externalities is also explained by adjustments that rational individuals make to avoid the consequences of such policies, thus providing further support for the revenue-maximization hypothesis.

AB  - The development of a successful secondary market for the trading of spectrum is not a foregone conclusion. The multi-dimensional nature of radio spectrum, which requires that a bid to buy and an offer to sell conform across the multiple dimensions, suggests that the market may be very “thin.” In addition, existing commercial users of spectrum have little incentive to sell excess spectrum if such spectrum will be employed by the buyer to provide a service that competes with the service provider by the seller. This paper discusses several steps to enhance market liquidity. One approach involves obtaining participation from federal spectrum users. Another step involves developing a market that both enhances market liquidity and provides participants the opportunity to incorporate a call option in the traded asset. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The question addressed here is whether the adoption of incentive regulation, which has become an important regulatory tool in the telecommunications industry in the USA, has resulted in a change in the technical efficiency of local exchange carriers in the USA. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, a methodology for measuring technical efficiency and its change is introduced. This is a multiple-output/multiple-input distance function approach to measuring technical efficiency. The results of implementing this approach for 19 local exchange carriers for the 1988-2001 period indicate that in the production of local service, intrastate toll/access service, and interstate access to local loops, there was no change in technical efficiency between the 1988-1990 period and the 1991- 2001 period, something that incentive regulation was specifically designed to promote.

AB  - The incentive of the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) to degrade the quality of interstate access services, an essential input provided to rival long-distance carriers, once they begin offering long-distance services has been a controversial issue in the academic literature. Using a panel of state-level data over the years 1996–2001, this paper investigates whether the RBOCs engage in such ‘non-price discrimination’ upon entering the long-distance market. The results suggest the RBOCs improve the quality of some of their interstate access service offerings before entering the interexchange market, but begin degrading the quality of these services immediately afterward.

AB  - A cap on the price of interstate access service was implemented by the Federal Communications Commission in 1991 to provide local exchange carriers (LECs) with an incentive to improve their productive efficiency. A question has arisen as to whether a deterioration in service quality for interstate access service has been an unintended consequence of this cap on the price. The analysis in this article uses several different measures of service quality, including the average installation interval, the percentage of commitments met, total trouble reports, and the average repair interval for both switched access service and special access service, to investigate empirically whether there has been a decline in service quality between 1991 and 2000. The results are conclusive. Overall, service quality has fallen. To rectify the situation, a proposal is offered to adjust the price cap index to penalize LECs who fail to provide an acceptable level of aggregate service quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Incentive regulation in the form of price caps was adopted for interstate access service in 1991 as a way to provide local exchange carriers with an incentive to improve their productive efficiency. An issue that has arisen with the adoption of price cap regulation is whether a deterioration of service quality for interstate access service has been an unintended consequence. The analysis in this paper uses several different measures of service quality, including the average installation interval, the percent of commitments met, total trouble reports, and the average repair interval for both switched access service and special access service, to investigate empirically whether there has been a decline in service quality between 1991 and 2000. The results are conclusive. Overall service quality has fallen. To rectify the situation, a proposal is offered to adjust the price cap index to penalize LECs who fail to provide an acceptable level of aggregate service quality.

AB  - For the more than six million people who wear hearing aids and who use cochlear implants, using digital cell phones was problematic. Worse, digital phones are the type that accounts for 90 percent of the market. Digital phones emit a type of electromagnetic energy (buzzing) that interferes with hearing aids and clear communication.Recognizing the change in the market and the future of digital phones, the Federal Communications Commission passed a ruling to help people with hearing loss who want to use portable phones. On July 10, 2003, in Washington, D. C, the FCC modified the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 exemption for wireless phones Here is why this action is important to people with hearing loss.

N2  - This paper evaluates the use of static cost proxy models in setting forward-looking prices such as the prices set according to the FCC's TELRIC methodology. First, it compares the time paths of prices and depreciation under traditional regulatory accounting with the prices and depreciation implied by various versions of TELRIC. When TELRIC prices are recomputed at intervals shorter than asset lives, the firm will generally not earn the target rate of return. In these cases, a correction factor must be applied to the TELRIC price path in order for revenues to exactly recover investment cost, including the target rate of return. Next, the paper considers a firm's cost minimizing investment decisions under two different assumptions about asset obsolescence. In both scenarios, cost minimizing investment paths and implied utilization rates for the firm's assets are derived under a variety of assumptions about the relevant input parameters. Some implications for TELRIC pricing are then derived.

N2  - Discussions between the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and communications policy makers and regulators in other countries have gleaned several clusters of issues where further research would directly benefit them. Recently, there have been two notable shifts. First, as the acceptance of the competition model over the monopoly model for telecommunications markets takes deep effect in regulators all over the world, questions regarding process and procedure for regulation are becoming ever more urgent. This paper discusses current questions regarding decision making, enforcement, and understanding consumer issues that arise often in the FCC's discussions with other regulators. Second, technological change is potentially shifting market definitions. In the FCC's discussion with other regulators over the last two years, the overlap of wireline telecom, wireless telecom and cable television has become more pronounced.

N2  - We analyze a model in which the interaction of broadcasters, advertisers, and consumers determines the level of nonadvertising broadcasting produced and consumed. Our main finding is that an increase in concentration in broadcast media industries may lead to a decrease in the total amount of nonadvertising broadcasting. The strength of this inverse relationship depends, in part, on the behavioral response of the consumers to changes in advertising intensities. We also present a numerical general equilibrium solution to our model and demonstrate a positive relationship between consumer welfare and the number of firms in the broadcast industry.

AB  - Canada, South Korea, Netherlands, and Sweden, are four of the five leading broadband markets in the world. For these four countries, this article reviews the status of telephony, video, and Internet service markets, and identifies the major issues related to government mandates, network access, ownership, and content issues. All four countries seek to create a regulatory environment that allows for effective competition in communications. All four countries have competition among different broadband platforms, whether these are wireline telecom network, cable network, wireless, or local area networks (LANS). Furthermore, several near-term policy challenges arise such as the scope and authority of regulatory and policymaking bodies, unresolved questions on network access, and content policy. However, debates on ownership issues, as related to convergence, appear to be deferred. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The question addressed is whether the adoption of incentive regulation, which has become an important regulatory tool in the telecommunications industry in the United States, has resulted in a change in the technical efficiency of local exchange carriers in the United States. After providing an overview of the nature of incentive regulation, a methodology for measuring technical efficiency and its change is introduced. This is a multiple-output/multiple-input distance function approach to measuring technical efficiency. The results of implementing this approach for 19 local exchange carriers for the 1988–2001 period indicate that in the production of local service, intrastate toll/access service, and interstate access to local loops, there was no change in technical efficiency between the 1988–1990 period and the 1991–2001 period, something that incentive regulation was specifically designed to promote.

AB  - In 1999 the Federal Communications Commission adopted an order granting complete deregulation of the rates for special access service for specific metropolitan statistical areas based on an objective showing that there was potential competition in that market. This was done in an environment where the local exchange carriers (LECs) subject to price caps were earning a rate of return in excess of 22 percent, with the rate of return on an upward trend. By 2002, the average rate of return across all price cap LECs topped 35 percent. The question that is investigated in this paper is whether the price cap LECs have market power in supplying special access service and whether they have taken advantage of this. The data clearly show that this is the case. Given the prevailing situation, there is a clear need to revisit the pricing flexibility order. First, the product market for special access service needs to be more carefully examined. Second, the metrics used to define the potential for competition need to be revamped. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Under a generalized dominant firm-competitive fringe model, the demand for cable television service will depend on cable rates and cost conditions affecting both the cable and noncable providers of subscription television service. A desirable attribute of this model is that it is possible to incorporate the competitive influence of noncable providers--i.e., DBS providers--on the demand for cable. To measure the competitive influence of the noncable providers (i.e., the competitive fringe), the DBS share of video subscribers in each franchise area is used in modeling the demand for subscription television service. If DBS service is a viable competitor to cable service and operates to constrain price increases by the dominant firm, DBS penetration should have a statistically significant impact on the analog and/or digital demand for cable service. After examining some important econometric issues including the appropriate functional specification, whether the error terms are homoscedastic, and the presence of outliers in the data, data from the 2002 FCC Annual Cable Price Survey were used to estimate the demand equations. Of significance is that the penetration of DBS in a franchise area has a quite significant and negative effect on both the number of analog cable subscribers and the number of digital cable subscribers. Finally, the question of whether the demand for analog cable service and the demand for digital cable service are structurally stable across various size cable systems is addressed. Using the cusum and cusum of squares tests, the results indicate that the demand for analog cable service for cable systems with more than 173,000 subscribers is statistically significantly different than the analog demand for cable service for smaller systems. One possible explanation is that DBS service is looked upon as a better substitute for subscription television service in areas where it has realized a greater market penetration.

AB  - Regulatory parity arguments are hard to ignore because they are grounded in notions of fairness and equality that are fundamental values in the society. The article will show, although regulatory parity may be a laudable goal it is not an easily achievable goal. There is disparate treatment in all areas of communications policy. The objective of this article is to understand the extent to which disparities exist and to explore whether the disparities are justified by legitimate policy goals. To the extent that disparities are derived from statutes, it may be beyond the ability of regulators to change. Similarly, to the extent that disparities result from the allocation of jurisdictional authority to state or local policymakers, federal regulators may have no ability to eliminate the disparity. This issue arises, for example, if one provider is required to pay for spectrum in order to offer a service and another does not use spectrum at all but has to pay a franchise fee to offer the service.

Whether deterioration in service quality for interstate access service has been an unintended consequence of this regulation was studied. Overall service quality has fallen. To rectify the situation, a proposal is made to adjust the price cap index to penalize who fail to provide an acceptable level of aggregate service quality.

N2  - This study employs a panel of U.S. state-level data over the years 1978-1997 to estimate the deterrent effect of capital punishment. Particular attention is paid to problems of endogeneity bias arising from the non-random assignment of death penalty laws across states and a simultaneous relationship between murders and the deterrence probabilities. The primary innovation of the analysis lies in the estimation of a simultaneous equations system whose identification is based upon the employment of instrumental variables motivated by the theory of public choice. The estimation results suggest that structural estimates of the deterrent effect of capital punishment are likely to be downward biased due to the influence of simultaneity. Correcting for simultaneity, the estimates imply that a state execution deters approximately fourteen murders per year on average. Finally, the results also suggest that the announcement effect of capital punishment, as opposed to the existence of a death penalty provision, is the mechanism actually driving the deterrent effect associated with state executions.

AB  - This article focuses on the importance of digital technologies in personal communications. WiFi is perhaps the most celebrated technology of the last two years. There are now estimated to be close to 100,000 hot spots worldwide. With off-the-shelf equipment from Radio Shack, an individual can use a piece of spectrum in their home, the airport, or a store that will let them communicate and access information over the Internet. And licensed wireless broadband, like EVDO by Verizon, is spreading to offer always on anywhere Internet access. Computer ownership and Internet access have grown remarkably. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, nearly 63% of American adults use the Internet. High-speed broadband connections are neing adopted quickly as well. Nielsen Net Ratings reported last week that 50 million Americans now access the Internet from home using high-speed connections. The Internet is growing rapidly as a critical source of information. Between 2000 and 2002, the online news population grew by 50%.

AB  - In 1999, the Federal Communications Commission adopted an order granting complete deregulation of the rates for special access service for specific metropolitan statistical areas based on an objective showing that there was potential competition in that market. This was done in an environment where the local exchange carriers (LECs) subject to price caps were earning a rate of return in excess of 22% with the rate of return on an upward trend. By 2002, the average rate of return across all price cap LECs topped 35%. The questions investigated in this article are whether the price cap LECs have market power in supplying special access service and whether they have taken advantage of this. The data clearly show that this is the case. Given the prevailing situation, there is a clear need to revisit the pricing flexibility order. First, the product market for special access service needs to be more carefully examined and, second, the metrics used to define the potential for competition need to be revamped.

AB  - In 1996 Congress passed the landmark Telecommunications Act. The Act, under Section 271, allowed the Regional Bell Operating Companies to offer long distance service to their local customers in exchange for opening their own local networks to local competitors in that state. Using a state-level panel data set we evaluate the effect of FCC Section 271 decisions on entry into the local telephone exchange market. Ordinary least squares and Poisson estimates suggest that Section 271 approvals increase the number of local competitive entrants before and during the year the approval is granted. We obtain no statistically significant and robust results for the effects of Section 271 approval on entry during the following year. In addition, the estimates suggest that Section 271 denials have no statistically significant effect on the entry of local competitors. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Peer-to-peer file sharing communities present a paradox for standard public goods theory, which predicts that free-riding should preclude the success of the community. We present a model in which users choose their level of sharing, downloading, and listening in the presence of sharing costs and endogenous downloading costs. In our model, sharing emerges endogenously, largely as a byproduct of users'' attempts to reduce own-costs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Bundling can be a pricing mechanism by which monopolists capture economic surplus from consumers.We suggest that given the cost structure of media markets, channel bundling in the cable and satellite market could also emerge in a competitive environment. A la carte channel pricing on cable television may or may not increase consumer welfare and could decrease total welfare. Because bundling may create other problems, policymakers may consider allowing cable and satellite networks to sell packages of channel space to viewers at a given price, allowing viewers to choose which channels they want in their packages. We term this option quasi-bundling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The relation between the structure of a market and the diversity of its product offering has been extensively explored by theorists. We develop 2 measures of diversity and explore the content of local news for 60 stations and 20 designated market areas (DMAs) in the United States. Using a relative station-level diversity metric, ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates imply that relative diversity of local news content decreases as market concentration increases. This result is not, however, robust to an instrumental variables specification. Using a total market diversity metric, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (Hirshman, 1964) is significant in OLS and robust to instrumental variable estimation. Because the total market diversity metric is arguablysuperior to the incremental metric as a measure of overall diversity, this result is useful-it suggests that the total diversity of local news content within a DMA is sensitive to the level of concentration.

AB  - In a typical cost allocation problem, a decision maker must allocate the joint cost of producing a specified vector of goods or services using prices. In earlier work, Billera, Heath, and Raanan applied the theory of values of nonatomic games of Aumann and Shapley to develop a pricing mechanism called Aumann-Shapley pricing. The Aumann-Shapley value for nonatomic games has an axiomatic foundation that was adapted to the cost allocation context by Billera and Heath and Mirman and Tauman. In this paper, we develop the notions of "reduced cost function," "consistency," and "potential" for cost allocation problems and we provide a new axiomatic characterization of symmetric and weighted Aumann-Shapley pricing in terms of consistency.

AB  - This special issue of Telecommunications Policy might never have happened save for the heroic efforts of nearly 300 people last September who would not be deterred by travel delays, lengthy power outages and falling trees to participate in the 31st Annual Telecommunications Policy Research Conference (TPRC). Isabel, the worst hurricane to hit Washington D.C. in over 30 years, capped a year of challenges, not only from the weather, but from many significant changes for TPRC as well. The conference had a new administrative staff, a new publisher, a new location and a new partner in the National Center for Technology and Law at the George Mason University Law School. This volume contains a selection of nine visionary papers from the 2003 conference. This special issue of Telecommunication Policy is the outcome of a new joint venture with TPRC to bring the conference's scholarship to a wider audience.

N2  - Alcohol consumption is widely believed to influence criminal activity, and numerous sociological, criminological, and psychological studies demonstrate an apparent positive correlation between drinking and crime. Using a multiattribute model of offender and victim behavior, this study examines the theoretical effects of changes in the price of alcohol on the incidence of crimes committed for economic gain. It is shown that in the general case price effects do not result in an unambiguous decrease in the rates of crime or victimization even when the models are constructed to impose a bias towards the finding of a causal negative price effect. Using a modified model of the drinking offender that imposes even further structure on the model, it is shown that the realization and magnitude of a negative equilibrium alcohol price effect will likely depend upon the implementation of complementary alcohol control policies. The implications of the theoretical analysis to policy implementation and empirical research are also considered.

AB  - The article presents a comparison between the law of property and the law of spectrum. Debate rages about whether the allocation and management of the radio frequency spectrum should be mostly a political process, treating it as "The People's Airwaves," or mostly market-driven, treating it as private property. This article attempts to shed some light on these arguments, which have generated much heat. In particular, this article critically examines an analogy between property law, especially about land, and the way the U.S. treats the spectrum.

AB  - The objective is to estimate the implicit marginal value of channel offerings by cable systems in the USA. Hedonic analysis is a convenient framework in which to explore the relationship between the price of cable service and the channels offered by a cable system. Two separate hedonic equations are estimated-- one for the price of analog cable service and one for the price of digital cable service. With regard to the price of analog cable service, the implicit marginal valuation is statistically significant and positive for just 15 of 106 channel offerings and negative for seven channels. For the price of digital cable service, the implicit marginal valuation is statistically significant and positive for just eleven of 105 channel offerings and negative for five channels. The results suggest that a subscriber's utility would be enhanced by a pricing structure different from the typical approach used by cable systems today of offering a bundled package consisting of several channels. One alternative is to allow consumers to subscribe to just those programming services for which they have a positive implicit marginal value (i.e. an a la carte pricing structure).

AB  - The United States is depleting its stock of telephone numbers for assignment to telecommunications carriers. If current trends continue the industry could run out of numbers as soon as 2015. There is little empirical examination of this problem in the economics literature. This analysis examines the distribution of telephone numbers across the United States and quantifies the effects of several key factors. The authors examine the effects that population density, competition for local telephone service, wireless telephone service provision and rate exchange area consolidation have on telephone number assignment.

AB  - The article reports that in 1991, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission implemented a price cap plan designed to deal with the regulatory boundaries problem arising from the dissolution of AT&T Corp. in 1984. The experience with the price cap plan demonstrates the difficulty of predicting productivity growth accurately and makes it clear that regulators cannot depend upon a pure price cap plan to keep prices within a reasonable range of cost. With periodic reviews to readjust plan parameters, however, a price cap plan can maintain rates of return close to the target rate of return, without diminishing the price cap plan's incentives for efficient production. A simple method of recalculating the X-factor based on the rates of return over the previous three years worked well in simulations.

N2  - This paper estimates the implicit marginal value of channel offerings by cable systems in the United States. Hedonic analysis is a convenient framework in which to explore the relationship between the price of cable service and the channels offered by a cable system. Two separate hedonic equations are estimated--one for the price of analog cable service and one for the price of digital cable service. With regard to the price of analog cable service, the implicit marginal valuation is statistically significant at the five percent level and positive for just seven of 121 channel offerings and negative for eleven channels. For the price of digital cable service, the implicit marginal valuation is statistically significant and positive for just six of 88 channel offerings and negative for seven channels. The results suggest that a subscriber's utility would be enhanced by a pricing structure different from the typical approach used by cable systems today of offering a bundled package consisting of several channels. One alternative is to allow consumers to subscribe to just those programming services for which they have a positive implicit marginal value (i.e., an a la carte pricing structure).

N2  - Following the 1984 divestiture of AT&T, local telephone service was provided by several Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). The RBOCs served as monopoly providers of local telephone service in their respective territories but were prohibited from offering long-distance service to their in-region subscribers. Section 271 of the landmark Telecommunications Act of 1996 allows an RBOC to offer in-region long-distance service if it demonstrates that the local telephone exchange market is open to competitive entry. This study empirically evaluates the efficacy of this policy by considering the impact of RBOC entry into long-distance on the development of competitive entry into local telephony. The results suggest that section 271 has been successful in promoting entry into local telephony. However, aggregate price data suggest that this entry has not been realized with lower rates for residential telephone subscribers.

AB  - Economists have long debated how advertising should be treated in a rational-choice framework. Using unique data from the broadcast networks’ 1995 Fall Network Season, we find that sitcoms attract premia from advertisers, while news and police programs get discounted. We interpret our findings according to two important theoretical treatments of advertising. Because the broadcast networks forgo advertising-unfriendly program content, the cable channel HBO responds with a deliberate counter-programming niche strategy, explicitly airing programming with “darker” and “more difficult” advertising-unfriendly content.

N2  - We use aggregate firm-level price data and other related demographic variables to examine the cost of switching between cable television and direct broadcast satellite (DBS). We find that switching costs appear to affect consumers' desire to switch from one service to another. We then use observation-specific dummy variables that stratify cable price to examine whether consumer behavior varies depending on the size of price change. We find that, when quality-adjusted prices for basic cable services increase substantially, subscribers will switch from cable to DBS, presumably at the point at which the price change is larger than the cost of switching. However, we find some evidence that DBS penetration is suppressed in areas where cable operators offer regional sports channels.

AB  - The article presents a discussion on the importance of economic social welfare to policymakers. According to the author, analyzing the economic social welfare helps policymakers decide on the most effective form of regulation to be imposed and to decide whether to regulate direct marketing in various media. The author suggested some important points to be considered by policymakers with regards to economic analysis which are microeconomic social welfare analysis, sending and receiving cost, consumers differences, the effect of alternative media on consumers and society, and the effect of organizational, economic, and technological development on the regulation of direct marketing.

AB  - Abstract: Under the assumption of a symmetric Nash equilibrium, Raskovich [Raskovich, A., 2003. Pivotal Buyers and Bargaining Position. Journal of Industrial Economics 51, 405–426.] suggests that becoming “pivotal” via merger worsens a merging buyer''s bargaining position. We generalize the pivotal buyer model to allow for an asymmetric division of the surplus among firms. We show that a merging buyer''s bargaining position increases post-merger if a bargaining power effect dominates a pivotal buyer effect. This result may be of interest to antitrust and regulatory agencies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - Using a panel of state-level data over the years 1978-2000, this article examines whether the method by which death penalty states conduct their executions affects the per capita incidence of murder in a differential manner. Several measures of the subjective probability of being executed are developed, taking into account the timing of individual executions. The empirical estimates suggest that the deterrent effect of capital punishment is driven primarily by executions conducted by electrocution. None of the other four methods of execution (lethal injection, gas chamber asphyxiation, hanging, and/or firing squad) are found to have a statistically significant impact on the per capita incidence of murder. These results are robust with respect to the manner in which the subjective probabilities of being executed are defined, whether or not a state has a death penalty law on the books, the removal of state and year fixed effects, controls for state-specific time trends, simultaneous control of all execution methods, and controls for other forms of public deterrence. In addition, it is shown that the negative and statistically significant impact of electrocutions is not driven by the occurrence of a "botched" electrocution during the relevant time period.

N2  - In most countries, wireless communications rely on administrative allocation of radio spectrum. The inefficiencies associated with this centralized approach have led economists, starting with Coase in 1959, to suggest "propertyzing" radio spectrum. Critics of this approach assert that property rights impose prohibitive transaction costs and inhibit development of wireless services. Reforms enacted in Guatemala (in 1996) and El Salvador (in 1997) have largely implemented policies suggested by Coase, yielding a natural experiment. Evidence generated in the mobile telephone market suggests that these regimes are associated with relatively efficient policy outcomes, including abundant spectrum availability and a high degree of competitiveness, and with correspondingly low retail prices and high rates of output (minutes of use). Further, such markets appear to avoid high transaction costs in the public or private sectors. We conclude that these liberal reforms tend to produce results consistent with Coase's policy conjecture.

AB  - The article talks about ethics for supervisors in the U.S. federal government. It states that federal supervisors should understand their responsibilities to help ensure an ethical workplace. They must comply with ethics requirements set by the agency including issues on outside activities, acceptance of gifts and other offers from persons outside the government, and conflicting interests. The authors add that federal employees must comply with the conflict of interest laws and the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch.

AB  - The article discusses factors to consider by government supervisors to comply with the Federal ethics program in the workplace. Results of a 2005 survey of senior officials and procurement personnel in the U.S. Department of Defense show that employees look to their supervisors as a role model in determining their level of compliance with ethics requirements. Also given are the steps that supervisors can take to promote subordinate compliance with the requirements of the Federal ethics program, including encouraging open discussion of ethical issues.

AB  - Can innovations in communications technology dilute the power of China's authoritarian government? When Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and Little Smart (xiao lingtong) personal handyphone service first broke into China's market, they were illegal. However, consumers loved the services and demanded more. Using VOIP consumers can make cheap long distance calls. Little Smart introduced an old technology to China that makes mobile phone services more affordable to the masses. Eventually, the Ministry of Information Industry (MII), which initially had banned both, then legalized both under pressure from other parts of the government and from consumers. The planned economy is breaking down and the government is constructing piecemeal the foundation for a rules-based economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The author opposes statistics which suggest that the U.S. lags in Internet access or is behind when it comes to broadband deployment. He specifically refutes findings of a study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which states the U.S. had declined in the number of broadband subscribers. He believes that the methodology used by OECD is flawed since it measures broadband connection per capita.

AB  - Ronald Coase based his 1959 call for spectrum markets on theoretical conjecture. Today abundant evidence supports his case. Targeted liberalization in cellular markets, as contrasted with regulatory planning of the digital TV transition and other traditional policies, suggest enormous efficiency gains are available from wider use of the price system. With exclusive frequency rights assigned to owners, markets widely reconfigure spectrum use, coordinating complex spectrum sharing. Resulting social gains include increased consumer surplus from enhanced technological innovation and wireless service competition. A social bonus arrives in the benefits associated with wider scope for free speech. Yet, the administrative allocation system continues to distribute rents and garner political support. Liberal reforms, in contrast, produce large but broadly dispersed efficiency gains and are undersupplied. This paper proposes an incremental extension of property rights in spectrum to move beyond the current rent-seeking equilibrium, eliminating the Federal Communications Commission's centralized spectrum allocation process and, with it, an attractive nuisance generating anticonsumer outcomes.

AB  - The most recent LFIMF sky-wave data bank has been revisited and reorganized by this author for the purpose of studying seasonal variation. Measured monthly median field strengths of about 100 propagation paths from different regions of the world have been tabulated and studied. Conventional wisdom suggests that field strengths are the strongest during spring and autumn and are the weakest during summer. The current study, which is based on a much larger data bank, suggests that the conventional wisdom is only true under certain conditions and only true in certain areas of the world. This paper attempts to discuss seasonal variation in more detail, both qualitatively and quantitatively. A number of representative examples will be given. Impact of other factors affecting seasonal variation will be pointed out and discussed also. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In any given year, the Federal Communications Commission confronts many issues of interest to economists. This paper summarizes four issues of interest during the last year: Spectrum Auctions, Media Ownership, Quality-Adjusted Cable Prices, and Leased Access. It highlights the role that economic analysis played in each and identifies areas where further research would be fruitful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Underappreciated data concerning libraries' holdings and circulation over the past century and a half offer insights into the behavior of libraries and their users. Book circulation per public library user indicates an outcome of users' demand for books and libraries' supply of books. From 1856 to 1978, library users borrowed from U.S. public libraries about 15 books per user per year. From 1978 to 2004, about 25% of book circulation shifted to audio-visual circulation. Over about a century and a half, library book circulation per user shows no strong, long-run trend either up or down. This outcome suggests that libraries have adapted to maintain the stability of their operation and that library borrowing practices are well-embedded in popular life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Libraries tend to be associated with books, but in practice they have lent a variety of media to meet the interests and media practices of their users. Early in the twentieth century, public libraries circulated images, such as photographs, prints, and lantern slides. They also lent music scores and player piano rolls. Early in the twenty-first century, audio recordings and video disks account for roughly 25% of public libraries' total circulation. Libraries have adapted to media change in the past and they are likely to continue to adapt to media change in the future. This article is a companion piece to Galbi's article, Book Circulation Per US Public Library User Since 1856, which appeared in PLQ, 27:4 (2008). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Despite the potentially critical nature of secondary markets in maintaining efficient spectrum and wireless markets, research has to date has focused primarily on the Federal Communication Commission’s rules for initial distribution of spectrum. To redress this lacuna, we first examine the evolution of conceptual and policy developments directed toward secondary spectrum markets. Then, we seek to move beyond those efforts to empirically document the development of secondary spectrum activity in the United States and the relationship of that development to the evolving policy toward such markets. We categorize and explore different types of secondary spectrum markets. Then, by drawing on a database of every spectrum license transaction since 1994, we explore the depth and breadth of spectrum trading in secondary markets. We find that the FCC has radically reduced the time it takes to approve trades, making the system more akin to notification than to approval. We also find that a large amount of spectrum changes hands each year. While these conclusions do not necessarily imply that secondary markets work efficiently, they do show that policy efforts to facilitate and energize the growth of secondary spectrum markets are bearing considerable fruit.

AB  - Abstract: This paper is concerned with the merits of employing market forces to address the issues of wireless spectrum congestion and the allocation of spectrum between firms seeking licensed and unlicensed spectrum rights. We show that when unlicensed spectrum is assigned to all competing users during periods of excess demand an inefficient outcome related to the “Tragedy of the Commons” is likely to result. This inefficiency can be substantially reduced when the assignment of users to unlicensed spectrum is based on the bandwidth and latency tolerance needs of the competing users. Further efficiency gains can also occur when users are required to bid to have their “unlicensed spectrum” needs met in the presence of congestion. The paper also examines the merits of creating an auction based market in which firms providing spectrum based services to users bid to have their “spectrum regime” needs satisfied. The objective of this approach is to reduce the incentive that service operators have to misstate their expressed value for a given license regime. The efficiency of this approach is based in large part on the auction mechanism’s ability to solve a “collective action problem” in which firms desiring unlicensed spectrum have an incentive to “free-ride” on the bidding behavior of other unlicensed firms. Together our results open up the possibility that a wide variety of spectrum policy issues may be efficiently solved using a market-based approach. They further suggest that there may be a “hybrid” regime that combines the best features of the license and unlicensed regimes and, thus, lead to a more efficient use of spectrum at any moment in time.

AB  - Abstract: Firms in mobile telephone markets place termination charges on one another for delivering calls to subscribers. We present a model of consumer and firm behavior in mobile markets in order to identify the role of termination charges in determining the market equilibrium. Our model predicts a “waterbed effect”, that is, high termination rates will be associated with low subscription prices, if preferences are the primary source of variation in termination rates. If costs are the main driver of termination rates our model predicts a “tide” hypothesis in which high termination rates exist alongside high subscription prices. We test these and other predictions from our model using international data on mobile subscriptions per person. We find results which are broadly consistent with our model. More specifically, we find evidence that mobile termination rates are positive and significantly related to mobile phone adoption. This result is robust to the inclusion of a variety of other structural, institutional, demographic, and income controls. We also find that competition, internet subscriptions, and a free press are positively associated with mobile phone adoption while fixed termination rates and inequality slow the adoption of mobile technologies.

T1  - Media Mergers with Preference Externalities and Their Implications for Content Diversity, Consumer Welfare, and Policy.

AB  - One of the primary concerns regarding media mergers involves their potential adverse effect on content/viewpoint diversity. This paper presents a formal treatment of the influence that within-group consumer preference externalities over media content have on a media outlet’s incentive to engage in product repositioning both before and after merging with another media outlet. We first present a model of consumer behavior under preference externalities and derive aggregate consumer expenditure functions for media output. It is shown that even assuming the merged entity sets a uniform price and content mix across market areas, the relative access to some minority (majority) group subscribers will increase (decrease) post-merger (and vice versa). We derive sufficient conditions under which the merged entity will in fact have an incentive to homogenize its post-merger price/content mix. And while the post-merger repositioning effects arguably suggest the consumer welfare implications of such mergers are ambiguous a priori, it is posited that the observed idiosyncratic preferences for media content among demographic groups may translate into significant losses to consumer welfare in some instances and may also adversely affect some individuals’ participation in civil affairs, such as voting. Finally, the relation of the model to previous empirical work on media mergers and diversity, and the potential for non-traditional policy interventions to offset the competitive harms of such transactions, are also discussed.

T1  - Increasing Diversity in Telecommunications Ownership and Increasing Efficiency in Spectrum Auctions by Breaking the Link Between Capital Market Discrimination and FCC Spectrum Auction Outcomes.

AB  - In Section 309(j)4(D) of the Communications Act, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) is required to increase opportunities for minority groups to participate in the provision of spectrum based services. In Adarand Construction, Inc. v. Pena, the Supreme Court held that race-based government programs were subject to strict scrutiny. That is race-based programs must serve a compelling governmental interest such as remedying past discrimination, and must be narrowly tailored to serve that interest. Against this backdrop, a simple theoretical model is developed that explains the relationship between capital market discrimination and outcomes in FCC spectrum auctions. Given capital market discrimination and all other factors being equal, it is shown that a minority firm has zero probability of winning in an auction for spectrum. In addition, it is proven that, if equal bidding credits are given to all firms, if there is capital market discrimination, and if all other things are equal, the minority firm has a zero probability of winning in a spectrum auction. It is shown that a policy of auctioning spectrum, when there is capital market discrimination, is an inferior policy among policies that can be used to allocate spectrum. Finally, a policy of auctioning spectrum, when there is capital market discrimination, results in an inefficient auction. These theoretical results and the empirical literature on capital market discrimination suggest that the FCC is implicitly discriminating against minorities through its auctioning of spectrum under conditions of discrimination in capital markets. The results imply that race-based programs are necessary/justified in order to increase diversity in telecommunications ownership and increase the efficiency of FCC Spectrum Auctions. Given possible legal remedies, the paper contains a critical “audit”/analysis of the FCC’s lending practices under the FCC’s installment payments. Legislative proposals for creating some new form of credit/installment payment in conjunction with some experienced financial institution(s) are summarized and reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The past year in economics at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has focused on encouraging the adoption and deployment of high capacity Internet access and the associated networks, commonly termed 'broadband.' Our article sketches important economic themes in the FCC's National Broadband Plan to show how the application of basic principles of regulatory economics takes account of rapid technological change. We discuss natural monopoly regulation, externalities and cross-subsidies, network effects and interconnection, the allocation of scarce inputs, protecting and fostering competitive markets, and consumer protection and transparency as they apply to the development of broadband.

AB  - Broadband holds a critical position in the progress of economic and social indicators by connecting consumers, businesses, and governments. South Korea has consistently been the global leader in broadband deployment since 1999. In the last 10 years, the Korean government has pursued several strategies for its broadband policy. The purpose of this article was to explore South Korea’s implementation of its Broadband Convergence Network (BcN) project with special emphasis on its objectives of achieving media convergence, ubiquitous connectivity, and coordination among network stakeholders. The study uses the theoretical framework of institutionalism to identify factors that help explain how the policy agenda for the BcN was implemented. The BcN is Korea’s most recent high-speed Internet infrastructure project and is envisioned as a conduit through which broadband services, applications, and content will flow to reflect a robust high-speed Internet infrastructure. This broadband infrastructure project began in 2004 as a consortium that includes the government and private sector firms. This infrastructure was launched as a three-phase project. The first phase of the BcN extended from 2004 through 2005, the second phase extended from 2006 through 2007, and the third phase extended from 2008 through 2010. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Spectrum auctions are used by governments to assign and price licenses for wireless communications. Effective auction design recognizes the importance of competition, not only in the auction but also in the downstream market for wireless communications. This paper examines several instruments that regulators can use to enhance competition and thereby improve market outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The past year in economics at the Federal Communications Commission focused on protecting competition in developing online markets. Our review discusses important economic issues that are raised by the FCC's Open Internet rulemaking (which is commonly referred to as 'net neutrality') and its review of Comcast's programming joint venture with General Electric's NBC Universal affiliate. The Open Internet rule focused on established online markets, while the Comcast/NBCU transaction addressed nascent competition online along with competition in video programming and distribution offline.

N2  - A cable operator chooses to bundle or provide programs a la carte by striking a balance between maximizing total surplus and minimizing transfer payments to program providers. Using general demand and cost functions, we show that a cable operator's decision to bundle maximizes total producer surplus if the cable operator's bargaining power is sufficiently high, and that a cable operator in a weak bargaining position might strategically choose to unbundle viewer channels in order to enhance its bargaining position with individual program suppliers, even when this decision reduces total surplus. It is, therefore, plausible that regulations to cap market share or impose a la carte on cable operators may reduce total surplus, and absent offsetting increases in consumer welfare, such policy measures may reduce total welfare. Under more restrictive conditions, we extend the analysis and show that consumer and social welfare under bundling or a la carte depends on both bargaining power and advertising rates. Our results imply a monopolist does not necessarily increase deadweight loss, and under certain circumstances a monopolist's bargaining outcomes yield higher social welfare.

AB  - This paper aims to estimate the effect of imposing a reserve price in repeated auctions of homogeneous items. I model the behavior of impatient bidders who search for the best auction outcome over time. The model is used to develop estimating equations for the bidders' valuations, and to evaluate the effect of reserve prices on bids and revenue. Using data collected from surplus auctions of personal computer processors, I find economically significant gains from imposing a reserve price. The revenue-maximizing reserve price improves revenue by about 23% for a large subsample of the auctions in the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Inference about television program substitutability from the consumer perspective is complicated by unobserved shocks to viewership and endogenous programming choices by television networks. High-frequency changes in program scheduling are commonplace in Argentina. This paper uses this variation in program scheduling as an instrumental variable in order to measure the degree of substitution across the programs broadcast by the five network television stations in a large Argentinean market. In line with the results of prior studies, the results of this paper show evidence of substantial business stealing in network television: increases in the ratings of a station primarily decrease the ratings of other stations. However, the estimates also show that the increases in ratings attributable to new viewers entering the market range between 3 and 5 percentage points for each 10-point increase in a channel’s viewership. The size of this market expansion effect is significantly larger than that found by prior studies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - This article uses daily data on the ranking by sales of the top 100 apps sold through Apple's App Store to provide evidence of the causal impact of today's bestseller rank information on tomorrow's demand. The estimates indicate that the willingness to pay of consumers is about $4.50 greater for a top ranked app than for the same unranked app. The results also indicate that the effects of bestseller status on willingness to pay decline steeply with rank at the top ranks, but remain economically significant for the apps in the first half of the top 100 list.

AB  - Abstract: We analyze the economic trade-offs associated with open-sourcing, the business strategy of releasing free open-source versions of commercial software products. We argue that the effect of the release of open-source versions on the customers'' perception of products is an important determinant of open-sourcing outcomes. Open-sourcing is modeled as a strategic option for duopolists that compete in a market for software products. We show that open-sourcing can arise as an equilibrium outcome in our simple two-stage game. If the enhancement of customer values from open-sourcing is moderate or high, firms may find it optimal to release open-source versions of their products. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The past year in economics at the Federal Communications Commission covered a broad range of topics in telecommunications policy. This paper highlights the economic issues that are addressed in the following key areas: spectrum management, universal service and intercarrier compensation reform, and merger review. In spectrum management, the FCC received congressional authority to implement an 'incentive auction' to repurpose television broadcasting spectrum into flexible-use licenses that will be suitable for mobile wireless service providers. We discuss some important issues in designing the auction. We next address some aspects of the FCC's comprehensive reforms of intercarrier compensation, which mainly involves call termination rates, and of universal service. Finally, we discuss the economic analysis of two major mergers: AT&T-T-Mobile, which the FCC staff recommended should be referred to an administrative hearing, and Level 3/Global Crossing, which was cleared with no conditions.

AB  - This paper studies the innovation response of upstream technology suppliers when their downstream buyers transition from regulation to competition. By modeling the impact of the 1990s U.S. electricity deregulation on patenting, we find that after deregulation, the net competition effect (comprising the pure competition and the escape competition effect) decreased innovation by 18.3% and the appropriation effect increased innovation by 19.6%. Other deregulation factors have led to a 20.6%decline. In aggregate, after deregulation, innovation by the upstream technology suppliers has declined by 19.3%, and upstream innovation quality and generality have declined as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - One of the most distinctive characteristics of the U.S. telephone system is that it has always been privately owned, in stark contrast to the pattern of government ownership followed by virtually every other nation. What is not widely known is how close the United States came to falling in line with the rest of the world. For the one-year period following July 31, 1918, the exigencies of Worm War I led the federal government to take over the U.S. telephone system. A close examination of this episode sheds new light into a number of current policy issues. The history confirms that natural monopoly was not solely responsible for AT&T's return to dominance and reveals that the Kingsbury Commitment was more effective in deterring monopoly than generally believed. Instead, a significant force driving the re-monopolization of the telephone system was the U.S. Postmaster General, Albert Burleson--not Theodore Vail, President of AT&T. It also demonstrates that universal service was the result of government-imposed emulation of the postal system, not, as some have claimed, a post hoc rationalization for maintaining monopoly. The most remarkable question is, having once obtained control over the telephone system, why did the federal government ever let it go? The dynamics surrounding this decision reveal the inherent limits of relying on war to justify extraordinary actions. More importantly, it shows the difficulties that governments face in overseeing industries that are undergoing dynamic technological change and that require significant capital investments.

AB  - In this paper, I consider what the growing evidence in parapsychology can tell us about the nature of consciousness. Parapsychology remains controversial because it implies deviations from the understanding that many scientists and philosophers hold about the nature of reality. However, given the difficulties in explaining consciousness, a growing number of philosophers have called for new, possibly radical, explanations, which include versions of dualism or panpsychism. In this spirit, I briefly review the evidence on psi to see what explanation of consciousness might best be supported. After a brief survey of the evidence, I conclude that the best explanation would probably be neutral monism. I then explore a framework for neutral monism, using well-known features of quantum mechanics, to develop a ground or bridge between consciousness and matter . This framework, which I believe helps explain the psi evidence, suggests that a non-local proto-conscious field of potential or seed stuff underlies both matter and consciousness.

AB  - Abstract: Urban containment policies, including urban growth boundaries (UGBs), are a common tool used by city planners to promote compact development. We analyze how well UGBs do in containing development using fine-scale GIS data on cities in Oregon. Earlier studies on UGBs yield mixed results, with some authors finding no effects of UGBs on housing market variables and urbanization rates and others finding significant effects. A challenge in measuring these effects is that the location of the UGB is unlikely to be an exogenous determinant of a land parcel's value for development. The panel structure of our dataset allows us to estimate the UGB's effect on the probability of development using a difference-in-difference estimator applied to a narrow band of plots along each city's UGB. This estimator controls for time-invariant unobservable variables and common temporal effects among plots, thereby mitigating the potential for biased estimates due to the endogeneity of the UGB's location. We also pursue a novel approach to controlling for time-varying factors that exploits our fine-scale data. We find that UGBs contain development in many of the Oregon cities we examine, although there are some cities in which development rates are the same inside and outside of the UGB. Our results reveal that, in most cities, the effect of the UGB is small relative to pre-existing differences in development probabilities. This suggests that it may be difficult to identify UGB effects with cross-sectional data, the approach commonly taken in previous studies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - Purpose--The purpose of this article is to discuss how minimum subsidy auctions have been implemented in Chile and India for Internet and mobile phone infrastructure to and identify lessons for governments considering reverse auctions as a tool. In a minimum subsidy auction (also known as a reverse auction), the government starts by offering the maximum funds available for a given public project; the company requiring smallest subsidy wins. Design/methodology/approach--The article investigates several case studies of subsidy auctions in both Chile and India. Findings--When firms compete for subsidies in reverse auctions, they have incentives to get the most result for the least funds. This furthers the government's goal to achieve maximum public policy impact with minimum budget.

N2  - Out of around 200 countries in the world, only 75 have number portability. What are the international factors that explain the diffusion of this regulatory policy? Research on policy diffusion offers several explanations: constructivist, coercion, competition, and learning. Each of these theories is explored based on a dataset that tracks the implementation of number portability, fixed phone competition and mobile phone competition, and documentary evidence gathered from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), European Union, and the Inter-American Telecommunications Commission (CITEL). In these three regulatory issue areas, Asia, Americas, and Europe are the three regions that innovate first; Middle East and Africa follow later on. Further, Hong Kong and New Zealand in Asia and Canada, Chile, and the US in Americas are pioneers, while others wait to see results before proceeding; learning appears to explain the diffusion pattern in these regions. In contrast, in Europe, regulatory diffusion begins early and proceeds rapidly with pioneers like Finland and United Kingdom, but others adopt without the lag time observed in Asia and Americas, very likely because of the leadership and enforcement powers of the European Union, a coercive explanation among member states and a competitive one among non-member states.

AB  - Small passerines, sometimes referred to as perching birds or songbirds, are the most abundant bird group in the United States (US) and Canada, and the most common among bird fatalities caused by collision with turbines at wind energy facilities. We used data compiled from 116 studies conducted in the US and Canada to estimate the annual rate of small-bird fatalities. It was necessary for us to calculate estimates of small-bird fatality rates from reported all-bird rates for 30% of studies. The remaining 70% of studies provided data on small-bird fatalities. We then adjusted estimates to account for detection bias and loss of carcasses from scavenging. These studies represented about 15% of current operating capacity (megawatts [MW]) for all wind energy facilities in the US and Canada and provided information on 4,975 bird fatalities, of which we estimated 62.5% were small passerines comprising 156 species. For all wind energy facilities currently in operation, we estimated that about 134,000 to 230,000 small-passerine fatalities from collision with wind turbines occur annually, or 2.10 to 3.35 small birds/MW of installed capacity. When adjusted for species composition, this indicates that about 368,000 fatalities for all bird species are caused annually by collisions with wind turbines. Other human-related sources of bird deaths, (e.g., communication towers, buildings [including windows]), and domestic cats) have been estimated to kill millions to billions of birds each year. Compared to continent-wide population estimates, the cumulative mortality rate per year by species was highest for black-throated blue warbler and tree swallow; 0.043% of the entire population of each species was estimated to annually suffer mortality from collisions with turbines. For the eighteen species with the next highest values, this estimate ranged from 0.008% to 0.038%, much lower than rates attributed to collisions with communication towers (1.2% to 9.0% for top twenty species).

AB  - We present a sample of recent FCC matters of economic interest. These include nonstructural remedies in a number of wireless telecommunications transactions, econometric attempts to identify which schools are likely to have access to fiber broadband, and the implementation of 'rural broadband experiments' to improve the effectiveness of subsidy programs to promote universal service. We close with some observations regarding the prominence of vertical concerns in FCC policy assessments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Space debris, an externality generated by expended launch vehicles and damaged satellites, reduces the expected value of space activities by increasing the probability of damaging existing satellites or other space vehicles. Unlike terrestrial pollution, debris created in the production process interacts with firms' final products, and is, moreover, self-propagating: collisions between debris or extant satellites creates additional debris. We construct a formal model to explore private incentives to launch satellites and to mitigate space debris. The model predicts that, relative to the social optimum, firms launch too many satellites and choose technologies which create more debris than is socially optimal. We discuss remediation strategies and policies, and demonstrate that Pigovian taxes can be used to internalize the debris externality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We use data from a large-scale survey of non-adopting households to provide estimates of their willingness to pay for broadband. A large fraction – approximately 2/3 – of the reporting households indicated that they would not consider subscribing to broadband at any price. For the remaining households who indicated that they would consider subscribing, we find strong evidence in the data of over-reporting at high values of the willingness to pay for broadband. We correct for reporting bias using a semi-parametric procedure. Our estimate of the price elasticity of demand for broadband using the bias-corrected willingness to pay values is equal to −0.62, markedly different from the estimate of −0.95 obtained with the values reported by the survey respondents. Our estimates indicate that, on average, to achieve a 10% increase in subscribership, a price reduction of about 15% is needed. In addition, we estimate the impact of several household characteristics on the likelihood of broadband adoption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - EDITOR'S SUMMARY While data is recognized as key to individual and wide-scale healthcare improvement, the absence of interoperability among supporting technologies obstructs progress. There is no single technical architecture that links medical information systems, such as electronic health records and medical devices, to enable seamless data flow. The lack of a consistent platform undermines patient outcomes and efficiency and increases cost and complexity. An interoperable technical architecture is the basis for data liquidity and the efficiencies it can deliver. Such a platform must use a standards-based interface and support plug-and-play integration, one-to-many communication and real-time two-way data exchange. The Center for Medical Interoperability advocates for and leads research in developing the architecture for a vendor-neutral platform. Healthcare systems must exert pressure through the procurement process for vendors to develop compatible systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Federal Communications Commission is responsible for regulation in the telecommunications and electronic media sectors, and for management of the nation's non-federal radio frequency spectrum. During the past year, Commission economists contributed to the analysis of market power and the efficacy of various regulatory regimes in the business data services market, assessed potential harms that were associated with major mergers in the cable television industry and the efficacy of conditions designed to mitigate those harms, and helped to structure service and licensing rules to promote efficient usage of spectrum in the face of burgeoning demand for new wireless broadband services.

AB  - Land-use change can significantly affect the provision of ecosystem services. On a local scale, zoning laws and other land-use regulations are commonly used to influence land-use change, but their effectiveness is often unclear. We evaluate the effectiveness of local land-use planning in concentrating development and minimizing impacts in riparian areas. We use spatially-explicit land cover data from the USGS Land Cover Trends project to measure development and disturbance rates before and after implementation of Oregon’s land-use planning system. We apply a difference-in-difference estimator to address the problem of non-random assignment of regulations on the landscape. We find that land-use laws in Oregon have concentrated development inside of UGBs and lowered development rates in riparian areas. However, disturbance in riparian areas has increased inside of UGBs. Overall, our findings suggest that local land-use planning can be an effective tool for promoting the provision of non-market ecosystem services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
