Income Tax Incentives to Promote Saving

We examine six alternative plans which might be discussed in an effort to increase consumer savings through the personal income tax system in the United States. These plans attempt to affect savings through an increase in the real rate of return either by direct tax cuts on savings or by indexing tax rates against inflation. The paper presents estimates of static and dynamic resource allocation effects for the six plans, and compares them to results obtained in earlier work on the impacts of more sweeping reforms. A medium-scale numerical general equilibrium model is used which integrates the U. S. tax system with consumer demand behavior by household and producer behavior by industry.

In Search of a Theory of Integrated Marketing Communications

For the most part, the literature base for Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) has developed from an applied or tactical level rather than from an intellectual or theoretical one. Since industry, practitioner and even academic studies have provided little insight into what IMC is and how it operates, our approach has been to investigate that other IMC community, that is, the academic or instructional group responsible for disseminating IMC knowledge. We proposed that the people providing course instruction and directing research activities have some basis for how they organize, consider and therefore instruct in the area of IMC. A syllabi analysis of 87 IMC units in six countries investigated the content of the unit, its delivery both physically and conceptually, and defined the audience of the unit. The study failed to discover any type of latent theoretical foundation that might be used as a base for understanding IMC. The students who are being prepared to extend, expand and enhance IMC concepts do not appear to be well-served by the curriculum we found in our research. The study concludes with a model for further IMC curriculum development

Remarks on Eskimo Sealing and the Harp Seal Controversy

Considers the importance of the seal harvest to Eskimos of Alaska, Canada and Greenland and gives statistics on catches, prices, incomes and costs of modernization of the seal-hunting industry. The catastrophic decline of sealskin prices and buyers boycott beginning 1965 as a result of the controversy over killing methods of harp seal pups has destroyed a viable industry badly needed in an economically depressed region. Eskimos seldom encounter harp seal pups, and use humane killing methods

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYMU GuidePUBLISHED BY MU EXTENSION, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIANutrients and Bacterial WasteCharles Fulhage and Don Pfost, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering"A properly calibrated irrigation system can be an efficient and uniform method for land application of liquid nutrients. Application should be done at a time and at a rate so that polluted runoff does not enter the waters of the state. Total nitrogen applied annually must not exceed the design for an approved system. Thus, depth of annual application depends upon the nutrient (nitrogen) analysis of the effluent." -- page 1New 6/00/7M; Reviewed November 201
