IN SEARCH OF SOCIAL CAPITAL IN ECONOMICS
No full textThe economic well-being of economic agents is assumed to be interpersonally dependent and varies according to the strength of relationships, values, and social bonds. The extent of this interpersonal dependency is measured using social capital coefficients in a neoclassical model in which agents with stable preferences maximize utility. The model's predictions are tested empirically by asking agents how their distribution of a scarce resource is altered by relationships.Institutional and Behavioral Economics,

SOCIAL CAPITAL AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS: EVIDENCE FROM MICHIGAN AND ILLINOIS
No full textSocial capital is a resource increasingly recognized as having important economic and social consequences. Robison and Siles (1999) examined some of these consequences at the U.S. state level and this study extends their efforts. Their 1999 study found important connections between the distributions of social capital and the distributions of household incomes. This study asks if the relationships between social capital and household incomes discovered at the state level are also present at the community level.Consumer/Household Economics, Institutional and Behavioral Economics,
Decisions in doubt the environment and public policy
No full textUsing examples from the area of waste management but touching also upon issues like the ozone layer, contaminated foodstuffs, and asbestos removal, Robison presents a new vision for rational decision making on environmental issues. But his ideas extend far beyond that arena to include other aspects of public policy. For in exploring a paradigm about how to make reasonable decisions without condemning us to inaction in the face of risks, Robison points out faults in our old policy-making methodology and offers a rationale for a decision procedure based less on certainty but more adapted and adaptive to our times

Tell Me: 30 Stories
No full textBy Mary Robison Counterpoint Press (Paperback, $14.00, ISBN: 1582432589, 10/2002) Thirty brief, sharply delineated short stories written over three decades by Robison (Days) chronicle emotional dislocation with witty dispassion. Robison’s characters, usually members of middle-class families, are often pictured grappling with the redefinition of roles, such as the teenaged star-gazing narrator of “An Amateur’s Guide to the Night” and her pill-popping single mother who pass for sisters and go on double-dates together. Or the newly idle Helen of “Independence Day,” recently returned to her father’s grand lakeside house in Ohio, who halfheartedly resists the pressure of her estranged husband, Terry, to get on with her life. Epiphanies are of less interest to Robison than rendering the shimmering immediacy of situation: “I could be getting married soon. The fellow is no Adonis,” establishes straightaway the art teacher of “In Jewel,” whose engagement means a way out of the dead-end eponymous miner town she’s always lived in. Robison locates her fairly comfortable characters anywhere from Beverly Hills (“Smoke”) to Ophelia, Ohio (“While Home”), to Washington, D.C. (“Smart”); they are waiting for rides in the rain or for babies to be born or for life, simply, to go on. And in every story her characters make valiant, hit-or-miss attempts to connect with one another. The brevity of these tales sometimes leaves the reader hanging, especially since their author delights in oblique details and non sequiturs. Yet nothing is superfluous, and in the spare sadness of Robison’s prose entire lives are presented. As the fiancée of “In Jewel” concludes, “All that I’ve ever owned or had is right out here for you to examine.” Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
