Honeycutt","doi":"10.2307/3003286","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/3003286","url":null,"abstract":"This comment examines a model of the determinants of electric utility R&D activity postulated by Wilder and Stansell. One of the defects in their empirical analysis is the failure to account for corporate interrelationships among the sample observations. Wilder and Stansell include as separate and independent observations joint venture companies, operating systems of holding companies, and subsidiaries of nonutility parent companies. After adjusting the original sample for these corporate affiliations, we estimated the Wilder and Stansell model for 1970 and 1972. Our empirical results do not support the Wilder and Stansell conclusion regarding the impact of current profitability on current research and development activity. We find that the sign and significance of the profitability measure are sensitive to the composition of the sample and to the particular time frame.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116138381","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}

This paper presents an analytical device whereby regulators applying this test can evaluate the effects that each proposed nonbank expansion has upon the holding company's probability of capital impairment and debt capacity. Several regulatory implications are derived. The procedure is simulated and the separate effects of diversification and debt financing are measured. While the holding companies studied diversified effectively, the benefits were largely thwarted by considerable debt financing.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"72 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116392198","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}

This paper presents empirical evidence indicating that one variant of differential pricing used in the electric power industry in itself gives rise to substantial allocative inefficiency. This finding suggests that the welfare consequences of differential pricing be examined more carefully.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122311690","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}

Using an activity analysis model, we show that production of over 15 million barrels of shale oil per day (five-sixths of present U.S. oil consumption) is a profitable activity when the price of oil is $18 per barrel (1975 dollars). In testing the sensitivity of our results, we find that, even under quite conservative assumptions, production of two million barrels per day is economically feasible in the long run when the selling price of oil exceeds $12 per barrel.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122469670","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}

Production of some crops tends to be organized via wage contracts, while land sown to other crops tends to be rented, and still other crops are frequently sharecropped. One popular explanation is that contractual choice in agriculture is related to the riskiness of production. Sharecropping, according to this argument, is used with the most risky crops to facilitate risk spreading in a world with incomplete insurance markets.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129524467","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}

The results from conducting both a Fama-Fisher-Jensen-Roll test and a portfolio test on the error terms computed from a single factor market in periods surrounding a trading suspension are presented. The findings clearly identify regulators as having access to predominantly unfavorable new information about allegedly manipulative activities that is not \"fully reflected\" in stock prices prior to a trading suspension. Furthermore, since unfavorable information disclosures during a trading suspension period are found not to be fully reflected in stock prices on the date of trading reinstatement, the market is deemed to be inefficient in the semistrong form.","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129778707","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}

This paper employs a nonlinear model of cable penetration to assess the effect of the proposed rules. The model is developed using a sample of 63 cable systems located where several signals can be received over the air with no particular reception problems. Applying the model to some typical top-100 market situations, the author concludes that the proposed rules \"will meet the Commission's objective. But more is necessary to keep cable moving, because the rules by themselves are probably not sufficient to make cable profitable in most of the top-100 markets. To succeed in the cities, cable must attract customers with new services in addition to the traditional package of better reception plus distant signals.\"","PeriodicalId":177728,"journal":{"name":"The Bell Journal of Economics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128583248","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}
