Wives' Labor Force Behavior and Major Family Expenditures
As the labor force participation of married women has increased dramatically since World War II, there has been increased speculation about the effect of wives’ employment on major family expenditures. This study examines working-wife (W-W) and…
Decomposition of a Multi-Period Media Scheduling Model in Terms of Single Period Equivalents
This paper develops a method for choosing advertising media plans for the next T-periods in order to maximize net discounted profits. Using the discrete maximum principle of Optimal Control Theory, it is shown that under…
A Consumer Preference Approach to the Planning of Rural Primary Health Care Facilities
A problem in planning the expansion of a rural primary health-care delivery system is to determine the set of facilities to be added to an existing system so as to maximize the incremental benefit to the community subject to a cost constraint.…
An Alternate Interpretation of the Linear Learning Model of Brand Choice
An Exponential Smoothing Model (ESM) of brand choice is presented which possesses a mathematical structure very similar to that of the Linear Learning Model (LLM) of brand choice. While the LLM is posited on adaptive learning (purchase…
Linear Programming Computational Procedures for Ordinal Regression
The ordinal regression problem is an extension to the standard multiple regression problem in terms of assuming only ordinal properties for the dependent variable (rank order of preferred brands in a product class, academic ranks for…

An Application of Regression Smoothing for Forecasting Customer Utility Bills
This paper develops the methodology for regression smoothing models and then applies it to the problem of forecasting utility usage rates for individual customers in a city in Northern California. A class of models which use regression as a…
An Empirical Analysis of Differential Capital Market Reactions to Extraordinary Accounting Items
Corporations are required to disclose separately and distinctively measurements of transactions or economic events defined by the accounting profession to be extraordinary in nature relative to the typical operations of the firm. An assumption is…
An Empirical Study of the Professional Socialization of Accounting Students
The purpose of this paper is to investigate accounting student attitudes at one stage of the process of educating and orienting individuals to enter the profession of public accounting, i.e., the “professional socialization’ ” of accounting…
Bias in Stochastic Binary Models of Brand Choice
In stochastic models of brand choice, a k-brand market (k>2) is generally reduced to a two-brand market by denoting the brand of interest as A and combining all other brands to form the “other brand” B. It is shown that (i) market share…

Coping Strategies and Attentional Mechanisms in Self-imposed and Externally Imposed Delay Situations
Conducted 2 experiments to examine the relationship between frustration and coping strategies in 2 delay-of-gratification situations: self-imposed delay (optional waiting for a preferred reward) and externally imposed delay (required waiting for…
Corporate Forecasts of Earnings Per Share and Stock Price Behavior: Empirical Tests
The disclosure of corporate forecasts of projected annual earnings was a topic of intensive debate within the investment community during the years 1970-75. Questions of accuracy, objectivity, independent certification, and investment utility…
Decomposition of Arborescent Linear Programs
We apply what we call sequential projection to reformulate certain linear programs as recursive optimization problems. We then apply the standard idea of approximating_x000B_the return function at each stage of the recursion by using inner (or…
