{"title":"Ten Cheaper Spades: Production Theory and Cost Curves in the Short Run - A Reply","authors":"W. O'Dea","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1279066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1279066","url":null,"abstract":"In \"Ten Cheaper Spades\", Richard Miller argues that the analysis of production and cost presented in the principles and intermediate microeconomics courses does not accurately describe manufacturing reality and is not supported by empirical estimation of cost curves. He proposes an alternative analysis based on the premise that firms can increase the use of labor and capital in fixed proportions until the capital stock is fully employed. The accompanying marginal cost curve would be horizontal until capacity and then become vertical. In order to obtain a determinant output firms would have to have pricing power. Miller recognizes that replacing the standard production and cost model with his alternative would mean that the perfectly competitive model would no longer be the focal point of the principles and intermediate courses. In this reply, I take issue with Miller's analysis on three grounds. First, his production model is not as general as he would suggest. No one cost model can be expected to accurately fit all situations. The standard model is reasonably descriptive of production and cost in the service sector, which is the largest sector of a modern economy. Second, empirically estimated cost curves do not provide a decisive test of the underlying theory. Third, and most important, the model of perfect competition has important welfare properties that make it a useful yardstick for evaluating the performance of actual economies.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131715710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus the traditional first-year curriculum emphasizes the determinate nature of law and practice, and the role of authority in the law, just to name two features. But while our incoming students may, in fact, be novices in the law, they are increasingly sophisticated thinkers in other areas of their lives and in their moral reasoning abilities. They can deal with indeterminacy, and they can be agents of development (not merely recipients of knowledge), outside the law. Moreover, they can apply these capabilities to their legal studies. In treating first-year students as novices, the traditional legal curriculum neglects these capabilities. Worse, it regresses first-year students as thinkers and as moral reasoners on conventional developmental continua. In contrast to the traditional curriculum, actual legal work in the first year - where students take responsibility for actual legal work, with all its attendant indeterminacies - builds upon the capabilities that our students bring to law school and thus promotes their intellectual development, their ethical reasoning skills, and their development as professionals.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123422254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students on the other hand think primarily in terms of money prices and tend to think of higher productivity solely in terms of lower prices. This paper provides a step by step exposition of comparative advantage and trade using money prices and exchange rates, taking as the initial starting point the student perspective of productivity and comparative advantage, typically a disequilibrium perspective. Such an exposition, used in conjunction with the traditional exposition, may be of added benefit to students in internalizing the concept of comparative advantage.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131073156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both versions are extremely transparent. The first version assumes a two-agent society; the second version, which is similar to a theorem of Pollak, assumes two or more agents. Both of our theorems rely on diversity of preferences axioms, and we explore alternative notions of diversity at length. Our first theorem also uses a neutrality assumption, commonly used in the literature; our second theorem uses a neutrality/monotonicity assumption, which is stronger and less commonly used. We provide examples to show the logical independence of the axioms, and to illustrate our points.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126430624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both models indicate that real depreciation or a higher stock price would increase real output. The IS-LM model exhibits a smaller forecast error and a higher explanatory power than the IS-MP model. These results may pose challenges for policymakers in model selections and making macroeconomic decisions.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133598947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apparently, these authors believe that students are better able to understand the relevance and usefulness of hypothesis test procedures by introducing them first via the dramatic analogy of the criminal justice system. In this paper, we argue that using the criminal trial analogy to motivate and introduce hypothesis test procedures represents bad statistics and bad pedagogy. First, we show that statistical hypothesis test procedures can not be applied to criminal trials. Thus, the criminal trial analogy is invalid. Second, we propose that students can better understand the simplicity and validity of statistical hypothesis test procedures if these procedures are carefully contrasted with the difficulties of decisionmaking in the context of criminal trials. The criminal trial discussion provides a bad analogy but an excellent counter-example for teaching statistical hypothesis procedures and the nature of statistical decision-making.","PeriodicalId":158767,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Other Social Sciences Education (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134454933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
