TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the circumstances that led to Japanese production of four U.S.-designed aircraft during the 1950's and 1960's, the flows of requisite technology and other goods and services, and the costs of transferring the technology.
Abstract: : The paper examines the circumstances that led to Japanese production of four U.S.-designed aircraft during the 1950's and 1960's, the flows of requisite technology and other goods and services, and the costs of transferring the technology. The history of this experience is instructive about the process and costs of one country's acquiring a sophisticated technical capability from another. Perhaps even more significant is a methodological implication to be derived from this study and others like it: that international flows of technology can be studied profitably by means of conventional market-force analysis. Such an approach can illuminate a number of the dark corners of economics and dispel some of the mystery concerning technology and economic change. (Author)

TL;DR: The present and future impact of computers on management organization and the nature of managerial work is discussed in this article, where the relationship between man and machine and the role of both in industrial organization is discussed.
Abstract: Contained herein is an array of exciting and knowledgeable papers that discuss, from assorted disciplinary angles, the "present and future impact of computers on management organization and the nature of managerial work." No two papers cover the same ground or reach identical conclusions, for the purpose of this collection is to articulate as completely as possible the relationship between man and machine and the role of both in industrial organization. Thus the question itself is defined in the succinct terms of its many answers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear programming model is developed in order to improve the process of planning for economic development, both short-term and long-term, and implemented with data taken from the Indian economy to gain insight into their operation and investigate the Indian Five Year Plans and Indian economic development problems.
Abstract: The research reported in this book fulfills both a general and a specific purpose. Linear programming models are developed in order to improve the process of planning for economic development, both short-term and long-term. The models are then implemented with data taken from the Indian economy in order to gain insight into their operation and to investigate the Indian Five Year Plans and Indian economic development problems.

TL;DR: This article found that rural households in poverty experience some of the worst housing conditions in our nation, including inadequate services (kitchen/plumbing) and crowding (2009 American Housing Survey).
Abstract: Economic distress and poverty have a major impact on housing conditions for both communities and households alike. Rural households in poverty experience some of the worst housing conditions in our nation. While housing conditions have improved dramatically for rural residents over the past three decades, more than 3 percent of all rural households occupy a unit with moderate problems, including inadequate services (kitchen/plumbing) and crowding (2009 American Housing Survey).

TL;DR: The present paper presents age- and sex-standardized rates by county for 1959, and then suggests some socioeconomic influences in [partial explanation of the variation in these rates.
Abstract: An examination of the effect of sex and age structure on psychiatric hospitalization rate and its regional variations in Ireland has been carried out. Statistical testing, by regression, of the influence of selected socioeconomic variables on hospitalization rate produced some interesting results. Of most interest was the finding that elderly populations tended to increase hospitalization rate at all age groups. It is hoped to carry this work further using more refined data.

TL;DR: The object of long-run theories of distribution is to explain the slow trend behaviour of the shares of wages and property income (profits) in the national product as mentioned in this paper, which is what the theory is supposed to explain.
Abstract: The object of long-run theories of distribution, which is almost the only kind we have, is to explain the slow trend behaviour of the shares of wages and property income (‘profits’ for short) in the national product. It used to be thought that the long-run trend was adequately described by Bowley’s Law of constant relative shares. More recent statistical work has suggested that, in the United States at least, the share of wages has been increasing slowly at the expense of profits.1 Whatever one believes about these complicated facts, they are what the theory is supposed to explain.
