THE ECONOMICS OF GRAIN PRODUCER CARTELS
No full textThe objective of this study is to measure economic payoffs from a grain cartel. Two basic approaches to extract economic rents are considered: (i) Mandatory supply controls to restrict production and raise grain price, and (2) export price discrimination using export taxes or subsidies. The economic impacts of different producer cartel scenarios were estimated using a long-term, nine-region world trade simulation model incorporating the assumptions of neoclassical trade theory. The SWOPSIM program was used to write the model equations. Economic Research Service trade data for 1989 were used to initialize the model. Results reflect long-run changes from 1989conditions and are at 1989 general price levels. The model simultaneously estimated outcomes in markets for nine commodities: beef, pork, poultry meat, wheat, corn, coarse grains (other than corn), oilseeds (soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflower seed), oilmeal, and sugar. Cross-effects among commodities and input-output relationships between field crop and livestock production are accounted for by substitution and complementary coefficients in behavioral equations. Countries and groups of countries included in the model are Australia, Canada, the European Community (EC), European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the United States (US), Japan, and the rest of the world (ROW). The simulation results report the consequences of restricting only US grain production (wheat, corn, and other coarse grains) from 5 to 20% below the 1989 production level. Grain supply restrictions were presumed to be mandatory, hence taxpayers incurred no additional outlays over those in 1989 . World price increases were modest for wheat, but greater for corn and other coarse grains in part because of differences in market share among grains. US consumers of grain and grain products buy less at higher prices and are worse off, as is the country as a whole. Consumer surplus falls nearly 7 billion in rents they collect from current programs. It seems unlikely that a producer group would risk gains of this size for the prospect of cartel rents a sixth the size or less from international markets. Gains to US producers are less for a wheat cartel than for either the feed grain cartel or for the wheat-feed grain cartel included herein. The unfavorable outcomes originate from the export demand for US wheat made highly elastic by opportunities to substitute feed grain for wheat in production and consumption especially in the long run. That is, a high wheat price and controlled production of wheat encourages importers to produce wheat, cut back feed grain production, and import low-cost feed grains.Crop Production/Industries, International Relations/Trade,
Dean, Judge, and Bishop: Lessons from a Conflict and Implications for School Leaders, 5(17)
No full textThis article utilizes a court-resolved 1870s conflict between two clergymen, Edward Cridge and George Hills, to present a model for conflict analysis that is relevant for the preparation and professional development of school leaders. The five elements of the model include: a defining reality, reinforcing events, critical incident, response patterns, and outputs and outcomes. The incident is used with guiding questions to demonstrate the use of case study technique for learning purposes. The case is presented as an example of "woodenheadedness" in interpersonal relations and of "folly" in governance policy in terms used by Barbara Tuchman (1984)
Rethinking Race: Franz Boas and His Contemporaries
No full textIn this thought-provoking reexamination of the history of racial science Vernon J. Williams argues that all current theories of race and race relations can be understood as extensions of or reactions to the theories formulated during the first half of the twentieth century. Williams explores these theories in a carefully crafted analysis of Franz Boas and his influence upon his contemporaries, especially W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, George W. Ellis, and Robert E. Park. Historians have long recognized the monumental role Franz Boas played in eviscerating the racist worldview that prevailed in the American social sciences. Williams reconsiders the standard portrait of Boas and offers a new understanding of a man who never fully escaped the racist assumptions of 19th-century anthropology but nevertheless successfully argued that African Americans could assimilate into American society and that the chief obstacle facing them was not heredity but the prejudice of white America.
He characterizes Boas as a complex and conflicted man who held ambiguous ideas about racial equality. -- American Historical Review
Contributes significantly to a fuller understanding of Boas\u27s impact on racial thinking, and it offers new insights into the changing racial views of social scientists in the formative period from 1896 to 1943. -- American Historical Review
This is the first book to detail how Boas also worked closely with many of the same African-American intellectuals to shape major trends in American anthropology. -- American Journal of Sociology
Williams enlightens the reader as to the gulf that still remains between the myths that are utilized to support claims of African American inferiority and the true complexity of this topic as revealed by scholars like Franz Boas. -- Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences
Williams has done a superb job of discussing the impact of Franz Boas\u27 impact on the racial thinking of his white anthropological contemporaries. . . . a most valuable contribution to the past and continuing debate of the importance of race in American society. -- Arkansas Historical Quarterly
Offers a thoughtful historical reflection on how and why these issues continue to affect our personal and national perceptions and out often uncomfortable attempts to discuss race in American life. -- Historian
A timely and thoughtful re-examination of a formative period in the history of American social science and race relations. -- Southern Historian
A continuation of the author\u27s pioneering work on the emergence of the modern cultural interpretation of race in America. -- The Journal of Southern Historyhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_biological_and_physical_anthropology/1000/thumbnail.jp

Mineral acquisition from clay by Budongo Forest chimpanzees
No full textDate of Acceptance: 06/07/2015Chimpanzees of the Sonso community, Budongo Forest, Uganda were observed eating clay and drinking clay-water from waterholes. We show that clay, clay-rich water, and clay obtained with leaf sponges, provide a range of minerals in different concentrations. The presence of aluminium in the clay consumed indicates that it takes the form of kaolinite. We discuss the contribution of clay geophagy to the mineral intake of the Sonso chimpanzees and show that clay eaten using leaf sponges is particularly rich in minerals. We show that termite mound soil, also regularly consumed, is rich in minerals. We discuss the frequency of clay and termite soil geophagy in the context of the disappearance from Budongo Forest of a formerly rich source of minerals, the decaying pith of Raphia farinifera palms.Peer reviewe
