Abstract of county government: General, highway, and special revenue funds in Oklahoma: Fiscal year 2003-2004
No full textAnalysis of a management practices and cooperative strength
No full textResults from a recent survey of Oklahoma and Texas agricultural cooperative managers are analyzed to compare management characteristics, concerns and strategies associated with cooperative strength. The results indicated differences between the views of managers from strong cooperatives versus those that were weaker with regard to identification of critical issues, management strategy, and their attitude toward government programs. The manager's use of strategic planning and the equity redemption policies of the firm were also found to vary between stronger and weaker cooperatives
Excise board workshop 1995: Oklahoma county government budgets submitted by co. commissioners
No full textLocal fiscal impact of a water resources development project
No full textThe net fiscal impact of the construction of Keystone Lake in north central
Oklahoma is estimated based on changes in the land use patterns in the vicinity
of the lake. Only county government expenditures for which revenues are specifically
earmarked are considered. In this manner it is possible to compare the
net change in expenditures for specific public services caused by Keystone with
the change in the revenues earmarked for these purposes.
The empirical findings indicate that the development patterns caused by
Keystone Lake caused a serious imbalance between the revenue generating capacity
of local government and the demand for public services. As a consequence of
the fiscal rigidities in Oklahoma, the quality of public services must be
reduced to maintain a revenue-expenditure balance in the counties impacted by
Keystone
Comparison of candidate probability distributions for historical yield distributions
No full textThere is little agreement as to which common theoretical distribution provides the best representation of actual farm level crop yields. The unavailability of farm level yield data, the presence of trends due to technological changes, and inter-farm variation in yields, all complicate the selection of an appropriate distributional form. This paper explores the appropriateness of seven candidate distributions in fitting historical data. The study attempts to identify a common distributional form which provides the most reasonable representation for farm level yields
