Can the C.B.I Create Confidence?

The CBI has claimed that evidence from manufacturing firms suggests that the Government's economic policies have been debilitating British industry. Professor Pearce maintains that the CBI interpretation of the evidence is based on a misunderstanding of the economic process.     

Scarp the C.A.P.

The abuses of the Common Agricultural Policy are familiar. Richard Howarth argues that they cannot be patched up but can be removed by abolition of the system that supports inefficient French and German small farmers.     

基于I2C的单片机EEPROM的设计

在科学技术飞速发展的今天,单片机技术不断进步并且得到了广泛应用。单片机在一定程度上实现了自动化、智能化,满足了人们的各种需要。单片机的引脚和越来越多的器件的限制使我们不得不采用I2C等总线来进行扩展操作,它可以大大简化设计、减小系统的体积并提高系统可靠性。而且,系统的更改和扩充也变得很容易。因为单片机需要强大的功能和较大的数据存储空间,我们需要用到外部存储器EEPROM等。本文以I2C与EEPROM的连接和数据存储、交换为主要内容,利用AT89C51单片机和LED数码管等元件和Proteus软件、Keil软件来开发,借助C语言程序实现了本设计的全部功能,包括数码显示、数据传输、读写功能等。本设计实现了简单的单片机实现不了的大容量数据传输,解决了掉电后存储数据丢失的问题,而且避免了控制多个对象时I/O口不够用的现象。

Knightian decision theory. Part I

A theory of choice under uncertainty is proposed which removes the completeness assumption from the Anscombe–Aumann formulation of Savage's theory and introduces an inertia assumption. The inertia assumption is that there is such a thing as the status quo and an alternative is accepted only if it is preferred to the status quo. This theory is one way of giving rigorous expression to Frank Knight's distinction between risk and uncertainty.

The Cost of the C.A.F

Membership of the Common Market has raise the costs of some food to almost 5 times as much as comparable world prices. Why should the British housewife or taxpayer continue to subsidise inefficient continental farmers?     

A Conversation with John C. Gower

Editors' Note: This conversation covers the extensive contributions of John C. Gower to statistical methodology, computing and applications. It also touches on the pioneering development of statistical computing at Rothamsted Experimental Station and the relevant work of Frank Yates, John Nelder and others who were at Rothamsted. See also the accompanying paper by John Gower (1985) on developments in statistical computing at Rothamsted (see Note 1) and the epilogue from Roger Payne.     

Let the G.L.C. Charge or Wind Up

How do we know if local government is efficient if it does not compete or sell its services? Rodney Lord draws on American experience to show the advantages of competition between local governments and between local government and private services.
