Classical Economics

In several reviews of my Classical Economics (1987; henceforth CE) a criticism recurs relating to my proposition that distribution in Ricardian economics is dependent upon the pattern of final demand. Anthony Brewer, who is convinced by the demonstration in the book of ‘a fundamentally important core of general equilibrium economics accounting for resource allocation in terms of the rationing function of relative prices,’ has stated the objection fairly and his formulation invites and deserves a response:[Hollander] does overstate his case at times. For example, he claims that, in Ricardo's theory, changes in the pattern of demand should react on the demand for labour, and thus on wages, while admitting that ‘Ricardo himself never formally made’ this extension [CE, p. 104]. He later uses exactly this interaction of demand and wages to support his interpretation of Ricardo against Dobb [CE, p. 360]. Surely, the fact that Ricardo did not ‘formally make’ this point (i.e., did not make it at all) is an argument against Hollander's reading, not for it (1988, p. 555).

The authors analyze the equalization properties of the present system of resource allocation among budgets of different levels in Russia (allocation of tax revenue and intergovernmental transfers). They consider the actual impact of the following federal fiscal instruments on the regional income distribution: the system of intergovernmental transfers, the system of federal tax revenue sharing between federal and regional budgets and the federal net tax on the region.

Irrigation Water Pricing

This paper is concerned with the regulation of irrigation water via pricing. The main concepts underlying efficient water use are first discussed and then applied in actual practice to demonstrate empirically how readily available data can be used to implement pricing schemes that achieve efficient allocation of water. The policy discussion includes also equity considerations. The empirical findings, however, reveal that water prices have a small effect on income distribution within the farming sector, thereby supporting the view that water pricing should be designed primarily to increase the efficiency of water use, leaving income distribution considerations to other policy tools.

RESUMEN Este artículo describe brevemente la política de subsidios vía tarifas eléctricas que ha sido implementada en México en el periodo 2000-2014, así como el impacto negativo que ha tenido en las finanzas públicas. Asimismo sugiere mediante un análisis teórico la aplicación de una Política de Precios basada en Costos Marginales de Largo Plazo considerando criterios de equidad y distribución del ingreso que lleven a una situación de viabilidad financiera a la empresa suministradora de energía eléctrica del país.Palabras clave: tarifas eléctricas, subsidios, finanzas públicas, política de precios, costos marginales de largo plazo.Energy reform in Mexico: the electrical subsidies and their impact on public finances ABSTRACT This article briefly describes the policy of subsidies through electricity rates has been implemented in Mexico in the period 2000-2014, and the negative impact it has had on public finances. It also suggests a theoretical analysis by the application of a pricing policy based on Long Term Marginal Cost considering criteria of equity and income distribution leading to a situation of financial viability to the company supplying electricity in the country.Keywords: electricity rates, subsidies, public finances, price policy, long-term marginal costs.Reforma energética no México: os subsídios elétricos e seu impacto nas finanças públicas RESUMO Este artigo descreve brevemente a política de subsídios através de tarifas elétricas que tem sido realizada no México no período 2000-2014, bem como o impacto negativo que teve sobre as finanças públicas. Também sugere uma análise teórica com a aplicação de uma Política de Preços baseado em Custos Marginais de Longo Prazo, considerando critérios de equidade e de distribuição de renda que levam a uma situação de viabilidade financeira a empresa fornecedora de energia elétrica do país.Palavras-chave: tarifas elétricas, subsídios, finanças públicas, política de preços, custos marginais de longo prazo.

AbstractAlthough Boyer & Petersen's (B&P's) cataloguing of and evolutionary explanations for folk-economic beliefs is important and valuable, the authors fail to connect their theories to existing explanations for why people do not think like economists. For instance, people often have moral intuitions akin to principles of fairness and justice that conflict with utilitarian approaches to resource allocation.

Inspired by “Mother or Wife” African dilemma tales, the present research utilizes a cultural psychology perspective to explore the dynamic, mutual constitution of personal relationship tendencies and cultural-ecological affordances for neoliberal subjectivity and abstracted independence. We administered a resource allocation task in Ghana and the United States to assess the prioritization of conjugal/nuclear relationships over consanguine/kin relationships along three dimensions of sociocultural variation: nation (American and Ghanaian), residence (urban and rural), and church membership (Pentecostal Charismatic and Traditional Western Mission). Results show that tendencies to prioritize nuclear over kin relationships – especially spouses over parents – were greater among participants in the first compared to the second of each pair. Discussion considers issues for a cultural psychology of cultural dynamics.

Cognitive Overload

Abstract. In an effort to quantify message complexity in such a way that predictions regarding the moment-to-moment cognitive and emotional processing of viewers would be made, Lang and her colleagues devised the coding system information introduced (or ii). This coding system quantifies the number of structural features that are known to consume cognitive resources and considers it in combination with the number of camera changes (cc) in the video, which supply additional cognitive resources owing to their elicitation of an orienting response. This study further validates ii using psychophysiological responses that index cognitive resource allocation and recognition memory. We also pose two novel hypotheses regarding the confluence of controlled and automatic processing and the effect of cognitive overload on enjoyment of messages. Thirty television advertisements were selected from a pool of 172 (all 20 s in length) based on their ii/cc ratio and ratings for their arousing content. Heart rate change over time showed significant deceleration (indicative of increased cognitive resource allocation) for messages with greater ii/cc ratios. Further, recognition memory worsened as ii/cc increased. It was also found that message complexity increases both automatic and controlled allocations to processing, and that the most complex messages may have created a state of cognitive overload, which was received as enjoyable by the participants in this television context.
