This note has addressed the empirical issue of crowding out by examining the proportion of GDP devoted to private investment in new physical capital in part as a function of the proportion of GDP devoted to federal government outlays. Three alternative models were estimated, all of which...

This note seeks to add to the literature on geographic living-cost differentials by investigating the determinants of geographic living-cost differentials among the 67 counties in the state of Florida for the year 1988. In addition to certain variables suggested in the existing literature, the...

This empirical note investigates the impact of geographic after-tax real, as opposed to nominal, income differentials on geographic population growth rates. The focus is on Florida's 67 counties and the 1980-88 time period. The empirical results imply that the population growth rate in Florida...

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of federal budget deficits upon the nominal long term rate of interest in the United States when, in addition to the usual potential interest-rate-influencing factors such as monetary policy, short term interest rates, the budget deficit, and...

Despite important advances in recent years, no general agreement exists concerning what constitutes management excellence. Specific knowledge of how managerial behavior is perceived and evaluated by others will help to resolve unsettled questions about what is meant by management excellence and...

This study argues that there is a formal market for journal manuscript articles. The traits of this market for nearly all disciplines, except law, are then described. We discuss how most disciplines permit a manuscript to be submitted to only one journal at a time, the role of submission fees in...

If imitation is the sincerest flattery, then count us among the most flattered. In a recent issue of this Journal, Professor Michael Szenberg provides a number of arguments in support of eliminating the so-called "equitable ban" on authors' submitting manuscripts simultaneously to more than one...

This study investigates whether federal government budget deficits in the U.S. over the 1990-99 time period acted to crowd out private investment in new plant and equipment. Using quarterly data, empirical estimations clearly indicate that private investment was in fact negatively impacted by...

This study finds that ID theft rates tend to be an increasing function of the unemployment rate and the proportion of the population concentrated in urban areas, and a decreasing function of the relative amount of resources devoted to laws enforcement and the percentage of individuals who claim...
