Railway regulation in 19th Century Britain: the economic rationale and legacy of Gladstone and Chadwick
No full textThis paper examines the economic rationale of the ideas of Gladstone & Chadwick on railway regulation and the legacy of their ideas. In 1844 Gladstone proposed and implemented what we would now call price and quantity regulation whereas in 1859 Chadwick proposed competition "for the field", i.e. the establishment of a temporary monopoly or franchise, for a given period. The thinking of Gladstone had been influenced by the classical school of economic thought, most notably J R McCulloch, whilst Chadwick had ideas influenced by his association with Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. This ideas still impact today; the basic pattern of price and some quantity regulation inaugurated by Gladstone was not abolished until the 1960 Transport Act whilst Chadwicks idea of temporary licenses or franchises came back into vogue when the railways were privatised in 1997.Britain, nineteenth century, railway regulation, classical school, J R McCulloch, Edwin Chadwick, John Stuart Mill

Authorisation in Grid Computing
No full textThis paper briefly surveys how authorisation in Grid computing has evolved during the last few years, and presents the latest developments in which Grid applications can utilise a policy controlled authorisation infrastructure to make decisions about which users are allowed to perform which actions on which Grid resources. The paper describes the Global Grid Forum SAML interface for connecting policy based authorisation infrastructures to Grid applications, and then describes the PERMIS authorisation infrastructure which has implemented this interface. The paper concludes with suggestions about how this work will evolve in the future
The political economy of Sir Edwin Chadwick
No full textVita.This dissertation investigates Edwin Chadwick's contribution to Political Economy. Although his reputation as a public servant and social reformer is well received in many disciplines, Chadwick has been relegated into relative obscurity by economists. Based upon the theoretical underpinnings of his analysis and the consistency of his methodology, it is shown that Chadwick's anonymity amongst economists is undeserved. In the fin al analysis, Chadwick is unique when contrasted with nineteenth century social philosophers. Edwin Chadwick participated in numerous public policy issues; factory legislation, Poor Law revision, crime prevention, sanitation, education and railroad reform are but a few of the many social issues in which he influenced or tried to influence the public decision-making process. Since Chadwick's main interests were policy oriented, the dissertation analyzes his economic thought as it relates to public policy. Chadwick's method of public policy analysis, his analysis of market failure, his proposals for railway reform and his labor market analyses constitute major divisions of the text. The dissertation commences with an inquiry into the philosophical foundations of Chadwick's rationale for market intervention. Three conceptual frameworks for describing the relationship between private and public interests are contrasted and it is shown that Chadwick subscribed to Jeremy Bentham's artificial identity of interests doctrine. This doctrine depicts competitive market failure as the result of a divergence of interests and invokes intervention to produce an artificial identity of interests. Chadwick combined this doctrine with a firm understanding of basic economic concepts and an ardent penchant for empirical verification to produce a unique method of public policy analysis and to anticipate many modern economic concepts. Chadwick developed a modern theory of crime, an economic rationale for patents and copyrights, the importance of time in economic analysis, the effect of liability assignment on economic behavior, an economic explanation for voter apathy and an analysis of public sector incentives. An appendix traces Chadwick's positions on several cornerstones of Classical economic analysis as a contrast to his modernistic developments..
