    Politicians as utility maximizing agents: Public choice and the British National Election of 1945 (2002)

    Notes: Public choice theory describes politicians as expected utility maximizing agents who are primarily concerned with their own election prospects. In a fashion similar to Anderson and Tollison, who showed that US President Abraham Lincoln manipulated the military vote in the US Presidential election of 1864, this note presents historical accounts of Winston Churchill's efforts (desire) to suppress the overall military vote in the British National Election of 1945. The anecdotal evidence and election simulations presented suggest that Churchill's expected utility maximization suppression strategy was consistent with public choice tenets. As such, the public choice interpretation of British political history presented here adds further to political-economic models of legislator/executive behavior.

    The allocation of death in the Salem witch trials: a public choice perspective (2003)

    Notes: World folklore and history are replete with examples that involve economics principles. The present note builds upon other published work by providing an empirical public choice analysis of the Salem witch trials of 1692. Our analysis suggests that the pattern of accusations during this episode was non-random, and works to support the public choice argument that Reverend Parris and the other ministers used the witchcraft hysteria as a "crusade" against residents of east Salem village because they supported - against the wishes of Parris and the west Salem villagers - economic and political alignment with the neighboring Salem town.

    Codifying the principles of a welfare state: An analysis of "MacArthur's Constitution" for Japan (2000)

    Notes: The present study provides a comparison of the Confederate Constitution of 1861 and the Japanese Constitution of 1946, with emphasis on the role of constitutional constraints on pork-barrel legislation and increasing rates of federal spending. Because the Japanese Constitution, by all accounts, was produced by Americans (American General Douglas MacArthur and the SCAP), it provided a second possibility for Americans, who had the benefit of hindsight regarding the shortcomings of the US Constitution, to potentially make an improvement. Unlike the view maintained by the Confederate States of America in the drafting of a constitution, MacArthur's product actually relaxed constraints on central government spending. The result, the apparent product of the new dealism and progressivism ideologies which were prevalent in 1940s America, has produced an open door to increased levels of special interest spending in Japan.

    The economic impact of environmental regulation on the blue crab industry (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 29 (2002), S. 538-546

    Notes: This paper estimates the impact of environmental regulations of 1994 imposed by the State of Maryland on the blue crab industry. For the analysis a model is developed, which includes three stochastic equations and five identities. After the estimation of the model the impact multipliers are calculated. The impact multipliers indicate that the overall impact of the environmental regulations on the industry is the loss of $44 million per year. This loss is shared by all the agents involved in the industry.

    The bureaucracy of murder: empirical evidence (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Notes: In detailing the crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi regime before and during the Second World War, Breton and Wintrobe (1986) Breton and Wintrobe describe the Nazi bureaucracy as a flexible microstructure that zealously carried out the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish question". In this model of bureaucracy, superiors accomplish their aims not by dictating rigid top-down orders to passive subordinates, but by allowing competition among parts of the bureaucracy and trading "informal services" for "informal payments" over time. The present research adds to the Breton-Wintrobe argument by presenting anecdotal/empirical evidence showing how the murder of 6 million Jews was carried out in a flexible organization, wherein subordinates devised creative solutions to the "Jewish question". Also provides evidence detailing how the quid pro quo operation resulted in dramatic payoffs for those subordinates proffering the most creative and/or efficient solutions.

    Differential Morphogenetic Responses of Cotyledonary Explants of Vigna mungo (2000)

    Notes: Abstract The morphogenetic responses of cotyledonary nodal explants of Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper cv. VBN1 cultured on the same Murashige and Skoog's medium, B5 vitamins, and 13.31 µM N6-benzylaminopurine showed variations in the pattern of multiple shooting and morphology of leaves in dependence on initial explants (presence/absence of cotyledons). The regenerated shoots elongated in the initial medium and most of them rooted in the presence of 2.41 µM indole-3-butyric acid, and flowered in vitro. Rooted plants could be transferred to the field after hardening.

    A Note on Elasticity and Price Dispersions in the Music Recording Industry (2000)

    Keywords: Elasticity ; music recording industry ; oligopoly ; price dispersions

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract The present note examines price dispersions inthe music recording industry between new release andmid-line (older) recordings. The model employs theframework developed within the industrial economicsliterature and provides empirical results suggestingthat new release prices are lower than those ofmid-level recordings. This result follows fromdiffering buyer characteristics and varying levelsof close substitutes, leading to higher demandelasticities for new release recordings. Finally,the theoretical expectations should hold in thepresence of either significant scale economies ormodest minimum efficient scales of production.

    Factors affecting in vitro flowering and fruiting of green pea (Pisum sativum L.) (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Multiple shoots were efficiently regenerated from cotyledonary node and shoot tip explants of Pisum sativum within 15 days on MS medium containing B5 vitamins and supplelmented with 2.0 mgl-1 6-benzylaminopurine. The elongated shoots produced on the same medium were excised and transferred to MS medium containing half strength ammonium nitrate (8.25 gml-1) and supplemented with auxins (indole-3-butyric acid or naphthalene acetic acid) either alone or in combinations with gibberellic acid. Rooting and flowering were observed on the 7th and 15th day after their transfer to rooting medium. The flowers self-fertilised in vitro and produced mature pods within 25 days of rooting. These seeds were germinable both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro seeds sown in pots under field conditions developed into flowering plants, and subsequently produced pods with viable seeds.

    Factors affecting regeneration of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) from mature embryonal axes (2000)
    Springer

    Keywords: embryonal axes ; light ; pigeonpea ; regeneration ; shoot organogenesis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Abstract Regeneration of viable plants was obtained via organogenesis from mature embryonal axes explants of pigeonpea. Shoots were produced from the apical region of embryonal axes after 20 days of dark incubation on modified Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium containing 8.86 μM benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 1.07 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). When the explants were cultured under light-dark (16--8 hrs) conditions, shoots were initiated only after 65 days of culture initiation. The explants lost their ability to regenerate plantlets when they were cultured in continuous light. Regenerated shoots elongated either in the same medium or in MS basal medium. About 40% of the elongated shoots sequentially produced simple, bifoliate and finally trifoliate leaves instead of producing trifoliate leaves directly. The elongated shoots were rooted efficiently upon transferring them to half strength MS medium supplemented with 2.41 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to soil after hardening.
