A Countable Economy: An Example

Weiss (1981) established core equivalence and the existence of competitive equilibria in finitely additive exchange economies. To underline the relevance of finitely additive economies we present in this note an example with a close connection to finite exchange economies

Use of automated control systems at enterprises of Kharkiv tractor‐building complex (1970‐1980)

У статті розглянуто основні напрями діяльності підприємств Харківського тракторобудівного комплексу щодо запровадження до виробництва АСУ та ЕОМ. Виявлено причини, що не дозволяли повністю застосувати наявні ЕОМ на підприємствах. Акцентовано увагу на важливості автоматизації виробництва, як основної перспективи подальшого розвитку тракторобудівного комплексу. З'ясовано та докладно розглянуто скільки ЕОМ є на підприємствах та у якому вони перебувають стані. Зосереджено увагу на кадровому забезпеченні виготовлення продукції із застосуванням АСУ. Встановлено, як саме впливала наявність АСУ та ЕОМ на покращення кількісних та якісних показників роботи підприємств тракторобудівного комплексу Харківщини.In the article the main directions of the activity of the enterprises of the Kharkov tractor‐building complex for the introduction into the production of automated control systems (ACS) and computers are considered. The reasons that did not allow full use of existing computers in enterprises were identified. Attention was accentuated on the importance of automation of production, as the main prospect for the further development of the tractor‐building complex. The number of computers in the enterprises and in which they are in the state has been clarified and examined in detail. The main focus was on staffing the manufacturing of products with ACS using. The influence of the automated control systems and computers on improving the quantitative and qualitative performance indicators of the enterprises of the tractor‐building complex of the Kharkiv region was established

Individually-rational collective choice

There is a collection of exogenously given socially-feasible sets, and, for each one of them, each individual in a group chooses from an individually-feasible set. The fact that the product of the individually-feasible sets is larger than the socially-feasible set notwithstanding, there arises no conflict between individual choices. Assuming that individual preferences are random, I characterize rationalizable collective choices

Migration with local public goods and the gains from changing places

Without public goods and under fairly standard assumptions, in Hammond and Sempere (J Pub Econ Theory, 8: 145–170, 2006) we show that freeing migration enhances the potential Pareto gains from free trade. Here, we present a generalization allowing local public goods subject to congestion. Unlike the standard literature on fiscal externalities, our result relies on fixing both local public goods and congestion levels at their status quo values. This allows constrained efficient and potentially Pareto improving population exchanges regulated only through appropriate residence charges, which can be regarded as Pigouvian congestion taxes

From Women-Staffed to Women-Led: Gender and Leadership in Academic Libraries, 1974-2018.

This article reviews post-1974 scholarly literature on women’s leadership in academic libraries, with the emphasis on the United States. The purpose of this synthesis is to highlight research areas and themes that have significantly expanded the profession’s knowledge about gender and its impact at the top administrative level. The article starts with a brief overview of theories of gender and leadership before tracing scholarship on the gendered career patterns singled out in Schiller’s work (1974). The article then focuses on additional issues related to gender and library administration, including leadership styles, perceptions of differences between male and female leaders, and the lack of diversity among academic library women directors
