The Heritage of Dugald Stewart : Oxford Philosophy and the Method of Political Economy*
L'articolo esamina il dibattito sulla metodologia dell'economia politica che anima i circoli intellettuali anglicani degli inizi del diciannovesimo secolo. Ad Oxford, l'approccio all'economia politica era fortemente condizionato dalla riflessione critica sulle proposte epistemologiche avanzate da Dugald Stewart nel suo Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind. I pensatori dell'Oriel College...
متن کاملPet Overpopulation : An Economic Analysis
This paper considers the problem of pet overpopulation. It develops a tractable dynamic model whose positive predictions square well with key features of the current U.S. market for pets. The model is used to understand, from a welfare economic perspective, the sense in which there is \overpopulation" of pets and the underlying causes of the problem. The paper also employs the model to consider...
متن کاملNobody ever dies of overpopulation.
Those of us who are deeply concerned about population and the environment — "econuts," we're called, — are accused of seeing herbicides in trees, pollution in running brooks, radiation in rocks, and overpopulation everywhere. There is merit in the accusation. I was in Calcutta when the cyclone struck East Bengal in November 1970. Early dispatches spoke of 15,000 dead, but the estimates rapidly ...
متن کاملOn generalized Frame-Stewart numbers
For the multi-peg Tower of Hanoi problem with k ≥ 4 pegs, so far the best solution is obtained by the Stewart’s algorithm [15] based on the the following recurrence relation: Sk(n) = min 1≤t≤n � 2 · Sk(n− t) + Sk−1(t) � , S3(n) = 2 − 1. In this paper, we generalize this recurrence relation to Gk(n) = min 1≤t≤n � pk · Gk(n− t) + qk · Gk−1(t) � , G3(n) = p3 · G3(n− 1) + q3, for two sequences of a...
متن کاملPoisoning Rats on Stewart Island
Poison was used at remote anchorages of southern Stewart Island in spring and summer of 1984/85 to reduce the likelihood of ship rats (Rattus rattus), Norway rats (R. norvegicus) and kiore (R. exulans) boarding fishing boats heading for the Snares Islands. Poison baits were removed at successively slower rates, probably because poisoning had reduced rat numbers. The effectiveness of poisoning w...
