Delimitation of the class of budget-constrained utility maximizing partially linear consumer expenditure functions: An alternative approach

Zusammenfassung Dieser Aufsatz behandelt eine alternative Herleitung notwendiger und hinreichender Bedingungen, denen Nachfragefunktionen, die linear im Einkommen jedoch nicht notwendigerweise linear in den Preisen sind, genügen müssen, um zu sichern, daß bei gegebenem Einkommen ein Nutzenmaximum realisiert wird. Diese Bedingungen erscheinen weniger einschränkend als jene, die Gorman (1953, 1961) abgeleitet hat. Beispiele für derartige Funktionen werden im dritten Abschnitt angeführt. Einige kritische Anmerkungen beschließen den Aufsatz.

An interview with J. Jarrett Clinton. Interview by Carmella A. Bacchino

Medical effectiveness initiatives, outcomes research, and practice guidelines--the new buzz words for the 90s--will change the way health care services are delivered and allocated. The focal point for medical effectiveness and health services research for the federal government is the Public Health Service's newest agency, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. The agency is headed by J. Jarrett Clinton, MD, MPH, administrator, who also served as acting administrator since the creation of the agency in December 1989 until April 1991. In this interview, Dr. Clinton discusses the agency's responsibilities, his perspective on the agency's work, and the effect of health services research on the U.S. health care delivery system.

Forward rates and the expectations theory of the term structure: Tests for the Federal Republic of Germany

The expectations theory of the term structure was tested using data from West German capital and money markets for the period 1975:01–1986:12. If forward rates implicit in the term structure are market expectations of future spot rates, and if term premia are not time-dependent, then forward rates should follow a martingale sequence. This hypothesis was tested with the aid of standard time series techniques (autocorrelation functions, Box-Pierce, unit-roots,F-tests and co-integration). The expectations theory was for the most part rejected, although the martingale property, or equivalently, weak form efficiency, held for the latter part of the test period. The rejection of the simple expectations theory is consistent with the hypothesis of time-varying term premia. The author thanks an anonymous referee and especially Prof. Dr. J. Wolters (Free University of Berlin) for helpful comments and criticism.
