Testing the Rational Expectations Hypothesis using Survey Data
No full textBecause of the importance of inflation expectations, Lloyd B. Thomas Jr. (Fall 1999, p. 125-44) reexamines "the evidence on the nature and performance of various measures of expected inflation, with special attention given to the issue of rationality" (p. 126). Thomas tests the unbiasedness hypothesis using the Livingston and Michigan survey forecasts for the 1960 to 1997 time period and is unable to reject the null hypothesis of unbiasedness. Unfortunately, two types of problems due to aggregation plague such tests: private information bias and micro-heterogeneity bias. Therefore, for these survey forecasts, consensus regressions should generally not be used to test rationality; rationality can only be tested at the individual level.
Universities and the cycling culture
No full textEnvironmental analysis consistently shows transport as being amongst the top three contributors to a university’s ecological footprint. This paper reports on a study undertaken at the Mawson Lakes Campus of the University of South Australia into cycling as a sustainable transport option. First, the paper analyzes the campus as a text: an artifact which addresses a particular audience and is actively read and interpreted by those who travel through it. In reading the campus, we go beyond examining levels of cycling infrastructure provision to consider the way infrastructure provision constitutes and positions different travelers as (ab)normal. Second, the paper looks at different groups of cyclists on campus, why some commuted to university and others did not and the experiences of each of these groups. It is found that cyclists are largely written out of the Mawson Lakes text which challenges their legitimacy as travelers and as users of campus space. The research also found substantial differences between groups of commuter and non-commuter cyclists and this division fell along staff and student lines. We conclude by suggesting ways that this and other universities might legitimize cyclists and facilitate cycling as a mode of travel.Jennifer Bonham and Barbara Kot
An examination of the relationship between financial slack and organizational strategy: a study in two industries
No full textA recurring debate in the Business Policy literature has centered on the nature of the relationship between strategy and structure. One school argues that the fit between context and structure determines straté9Y„ while opponents contend that management values determine strategy which, in turn, shapes structure. Litschert and Bonham (1977) have attempted to reconcile these viewpoints with their integrative model of strategy formation. The main premise of this model is that organizational slack moderates the contingent nature of strategy formation. When slack is high, the model predicts that strategy will be based on management values and that a loose fit will occur between structure and context. When slack is low, however, the necessary tight fit between context and structure will determine strategy.
This study tested the Litschert-Bonham model by comparing the strategies used by organizations with varying levels of slack within two different industries. lt was determined that an organization's absolute level of slack was significantly related to choice of strategy. However, the strategies of high-slack firms were not necessarily more diverse than were those of low-slack firms within a similar context. Moreover, low-slack firms in different contexts tended to follow the same strategy - a finding which was opposite the model's prediction.
Two secondary objectives of the study involved the clarification of measurement issues surrounding two of the model’s major components: slack and strategy. ln the former case, Marino and Lange's (1983) absolute slack indicators were compared to Bourgeois’ (1981) slack measures. The former absolute measures were consistently related to strategy while the latter relative measures failed to reach significance.
Finally, a multivariate procedure called cluster analysis was utilized to divide the sample firms into five strategic groups. These five empirically derived strategy types clearly related to Glueck’s (1980) conceptual typology of corporate level strategy. This was the first study to offer empirical support for Glueck’s widely cited typology.Ph. D
