Adiusted means values for all blood samples were: phosphorus and calcium per 160 ml plasma 5.2 and 11.4 mg, respectively; hemoglobin 11.6 gm per 100 ml blood; and hematocrit 54% packed cells. Blood calcium, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels were significantly influenced by season and breed of cow. There was a highly significant season effect on blood phosphorus, a significant breed )( season interaction, and a non-significant effect when values were averaged for all seasons.

Income and Substitution Effects for Mean-Preserving Spreads

International Economic Review, Feb 1, 1989

Sandmo has ascribed the indeterminancy of the comparative static result for a mean-preserving spread to the presence of both an income and a substitution effect. In this note, the compensation method needed to isolate the substitution effect identified by Sandmo is made precise. The compensation method is derived from a model that is sufficiently general to include many important applications of the theory of uncertainty. The method is used to identify the substitution effect in Sandmo&#39;s model of the competitive firm under output price uncertainty.

The contemporaneous correlation between price shocks and output shocks

An issue that had appeared settled for many years was re-opened when and presented evidence that prices were counter-cyclical. This evidence has stood up, but its interpretation has varied. Hall and Judd and Tehran argued that the contemporaneous correlation between output and prices reflects the source of the current shock as well as the nature of the adjustment process from short-run to long-run equilibrium; and the adjustment to the long-run imparts a bias toward finding a negative price-output correlation. In this paper we control for the long-run adjustment in a general way and find evidence that supports the HJT hypothesis. Indeed, for the U.S. controlling for the long-run adjustment switches the correlation of the shocks from negative to positive. Controlling for the long-run adjustment alone is insufficient to reveal the source of shocks. However, if in the initial period prices are equally sticky in response to demand and supply shocks, then the correlations do have something to say about the nature of the disturbances. Under the assumption of equal initial price stickiness, the data suggest that economies are buffeted by both demand and supply shocks in about equal portions.

Inflation, reserve requirements, and real interest rates with direct and indirect loan markets

Journal of Macroeconomics, Jun 1, 1995

In this model we reexamine the long-run effects of a change in the inflation rate. An increase in the inflation rate raises the tax on banks, since they are required to hold reserves, and causes banks to lower deposit rates. This induces tow effects. First, some depositors switch from bank deposits to direct lending. This tends to lower loan rates of interest as direct lenders do not have to hold reserves. Second, some depositors will increase current consumption, and this tends to raise the loan rate. For reasonable values of the parameters the second effect may dominate even if the interest elasticity of consumption is very small.

Copper, Molybendum and Zinc Interrelationships in Rats and Swine

Experimental Biology and Medicine, Nov 1, 1953

This increase was especially pronounced in the kidneys and livers and is in accord with the hypothesis that excess copper, which is not physiologically effective, may be accumulated when a high level of molybdenum is fed. A dietary level of 1000 p.p.m. of zinc did not appear to have any appreciable effect upon copper metabolism. Growth depression in rats produced by 1000 p.p.m. of added molybdenum to a natural or synthetic ration was not counteracted by the addition of 200 p.p.m. dietary copper. Swine appeared to be more resistant to molybdenum toxicity than did rats. No degenerative changes were observed in the spinal cord, leg joints or muscle tissues of swine fed levels of 1000 p.p.m. of molybdenum or 1000 p.p.m. zinc for a 7-month experimental period. With the criteria of these experiments it appears that dietary zinc was not involved in copper-molybdenum imbalance.

Effect of Stage of Gestation on Succinoxidase Activity of Fetal and Maternal Swine Hearts

Experimental Biology and Medicine, Oct 1, 1957

Summary A significant increase in the succinoxidase activity of fetal swine ventricles was found ... more Summary A significant increase in the succinoxidase activity of fetal swine ventricles was found to occur during the latter half of gestation, on both the wet weight and per unit of nitrogen basis. As gestation approached termination, an increase in activity occurred in the left ventricles of the maternal heart. These observations show that in large animals the fetal heart increases in succinoxidase activity with increased function, as previously demonstrated in the rat and chick; and that the later stages of gestation make increased requirements of the heart as indicated by greater maternal heart enzymatic activity. Two dietary levels of Mn and position of the fetuses in the uteri had no influence on the succinoxidase activity.

The Emancipation Proclamation, Confederate Expectations, and the Price of Southern Bank Notes

These notes traded at par with Confederate dollars from October of 1861 until November 5, 1862. We use a model of the demand for two currencies to argue that this departure from par results from altered Southern expectations after the 1862 Congressional elections assured the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation. Previously, Southerners believed a win or a negotiated settlement would allow a return to the Union intact. When these expectations changed, bank notes appreciated against Confederate dollars. In addition, our empirical work shows that notes appreciated following Northern victories.

The Cyclical Behavior of Prices and Relative Prices

Correlations between shocks to prices and output provide evidence on the source of macroeconomic ... more Correlations between shocks to prices and output provide evidence on the source of macroeconomic shocks. For example, Den Haan (2001) finds positive correlations at short forecast horizons and negative correlations at longer forecast horizons for the consumer price index (CPI) and the index of industrial production (IP). 1 He interprets these results to mean that demand shocks dominate in the short run while supply shocks dominate in the long run. Several other papers confirm the positive correlation between the CPI and IP at short forecast horizons. On the other hand, some of these same authors have found a negative correlation between real GDP and the GDP deflator at short forecast horizons. 2 This difference is disappointing since the results provide conflicting evidence on the nature of shocks at short horizons and puzzling since the CPI and the deflator are positively correlated as are IP and GDP. An important distinction between pairing GDP with the deflator and pairing IP with the CPI is the extent to which products in the output index are matched to products in the price index. GDP and the GDP deflator are based on the same set of goods and services. On the other hand, IP contains products, such as those produced by mining, whose prices are not included in the CPI, and the CPI includes products, such as housing services, that are not included in industrial production. In this paper, we argue that the correlation between mismatched price and output indexes such at the CPI and IP can be, and often is, misleading. The explanation for why it is important to use matched indexes of price and output is simple. Suppose you are interested in the correlation between the price and quantity of apples. If instead you compute the correlation between the price of oranges and the quantity of apples, the correlation is correct only if the relative price of oranges to apples does not vary with the quantity of apples. If the 2 For reasons discussed in section 2, we consider only correlations between forecast errors, or shocks, to price and output. Papers that examine this correlation include , Den Haan and Sumner (2001), Kanago (2002), Cover and, . The results of these papers are described in section 2.

Inflation and real sectoral output shares: Dynamic panel model evidence from seven OECD countries

For example, inflation may lead to an increase in the variability of relative prices and it is often claimed that this increase in variability leads to a misallocation of resources. This claim raises the following empirical question, does inflation alter the composition of real output; that is, does it change real output shares? We examine this question using dynamic panel data methods for nine sector panels each with seven OECD countries from 1970 to 2005. We find evidence that inflation changes the real shares of some sectors even when inflation is treated as endogenous. © 2011 Elsevier Inc
