AbstractThe study sought to examine the differences between savers and non-savers among a cross-section of 562 farmers randomly selected from six districts in three regions (Ashanti, Brong Ahafo and Upper East) of Ghana. By means of descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages, the study segregated the respondents into savers and non-savers and Kendall coefficient of concordance was employed to identify the motives of saving among savers and non-saving among non-savers. In order to test whether savers and non-savers differ in relationship to some key socio-economic demographic characteristics, a series of Pearson’s Chi-tests for independence were employed. Finally, by the application of economic-psychology theory on financial savings through binary logistic regression, the study examined empirical differences between savers and non-savers. The study found out that in terms of a key economic variable, that is, income generated from tomato production, savers tend not to differ from non-savers. The issue then is since savers are faced with similar economic challenges relating to their income generating activities, but still manages to save, then the differences between savers and non-saver go beyond economic reasons. Thus, the distinction between saving and non-saving which is underlined by psychological traits have been found to be mainly behavioural and demographic in nature conveying the idea that rural households themselves have a significant part to play with regards to forming, improving and maintaining their savings habits.

The purpose of this research is to find out the influence of economic, social and availability of information variable on the healthy life behavior of the people in Suruh Sub-district, Semarang Regency. The primary data source is collected by distributing the questionnaires to and by interviewing the people of Suruh Sub-district, Semarang Regency as the research respondents with the research analytical instrument of Probit binary responses regression. The availability of domestic wastewater disposal facilities is the dependent variable, while the household expenditure (economic variable), healthy life motivation (social variable) and maintenance of domestic wastewater disposal system (healthy life behavior) are the independent variables. The results show that the healthy life motivation and maintenance of domestic wastewater disposal system variables have positive and significant influence on the availability of domestic wastewater disposal facilities with ? = 5% and the household expenditure variable has positive and significant influence with ? = 10%. In general, it shows that the economic variable and the household expenditure determine the availability of domestic wastewater disposal facilities in Suruh Sub-district, Semarang Regency as the higher the individuals income, the higher their allocation to the household expenditure, including to the domestic wastewater management.

The Past

In the past 40 years an extensive literature has grown up around aggregate political economy models of elections, but few articles have focused on the German case. Initially, Kirchgässner (1977; 1991), developed vote-popularity (VP) functions, with the unemployment rate as the dominant economic variable predicting the German ruling parties' performance. Thereafter, using vote functions (VF) from 1961 to 1994, Jérôme, Jérôme-Speziari, and Lewis-Beck (2001) tested the “yardstick” competition existing between French and German economic votes.

Distribution Of Income

Is one distribution (of income, consumption, or some other economic variable) among families or individuals more or less equal in relative terms to another? Despite the seeming straightforwardness of this question, there has been and continues to be considerable debate over how to go about finding the answer. There are two points of contention. One is the issue of cardinality vs. ordinality. Practitioners of the cardinal approach compare distributions by means of summary measures such as a Gini coefficient, variance of logarithms, and the like. Accordingly, some researchers prefer an ordinal approach, adopting Lorenz domination as their criterion.

This paper derives an equilibrium formula for pricing European options and other contingent claims which allows incorporating impacts of several important economic variable on security prices including, among others, representative agent preferences, future volatility and rare jump events. The derived formulae is general and flexible enough to include some important option pricing formulae in the literature, such as Black–Scholes, Naik–Lee, Cox–Ross and Merton option pricing formulae. The existence of jump risk as a potential explanation of the moneyness biases associated with the Black–Scholes model is explored.

Economy Analysis

The article shows how the old economic variable of income can be related to spatial location and used to reinforce recent revisionism in sociology which questions the automatic link between consumption and identity. The diversity of motoring experience is demonstrated through a case study of motoring in inner and outer London which draws on a variety of resources, including interviews from two London boroughs, survey evidence on household expenditure and other official statistics. The analysis shows how income and space variably define household motoring experience as one of choice or constraint and risk. The end result is a cultural economy analysis that shows how motoring sustains multiple, overlapping identities in different worlds of enabling and enforced consumption which connect with production.
