Prior Adjustment: An Extension of the Frisch-Waugh Theorem to the Method of Two-Stage Least Squares
No full textThe problems of seasonal adjustment and other forms of prior adjustment have seldom been integrated into a general framework of estimation. A well-known result, due to Frisch and Waugh, has been used to demonstrate how linear seasonal influences might be treated in the context of the general linear statistical model. In this paper, the author establishes a proposition that one form of prior adjustment is consistent with two different estimating techniques that are in common use.

Time-Series for the British Post-War Economy
No full textOne product of the author's recent investigation into the determinants of real fixed capital formation in the post-war british Economy was the following set of time-series. In this paper, the author tells us how the extension of the series beyond the range of the other series resulted in the inclusion of a period during which the rates of the two principal taxes could not be aggregated in a simple linear manner, and the expression for the aggregate tax-rate had to be modified. This break is indicated in the text

Investment Functions: Which Production Function?
No full textIn this paper, an approximation is suggested whereby the alternative C.E.S. form can be fitted as a number of additional corrections to the final expression associated with the Cobb-Douglas form. Some numerical results are tabulated, and these indicate that, for the British Economy at least, the specification of a Cobb-Douglas form for the production function is inappropriate

Corporate Taxation in the United States: The Post-War Experience
No full textThe area of corporate taxation has stimulated a great deal of debate in both academic and political circles. On the political side, there have been those who argue that a corporation is only a legalistic creation and should not be regarded as a 'flesh-and-blood' person. This paper shall be concerned only with Federal taxes on corporations, although it is recognized that the system of dual sovereignity has raised questions of constitutionality in taxation areas between the Federal and state governments. A result of this has been the developing importance of the judicial branch of government in the taxation field, along with the legislative branch, as an interpretive body of no small significance.
