An empirical note on firm performance in government contract markets An empirical note on firm performance in government contract markets
Public construction and, in particular, highway construction account for a large proportion of the non-defense expenditures by the government. Con- tracts for highway construction are let almost exclusively through a sealed tender process. Competitive bidding is used to encourage price competition. There is, however, a problem in insuring that the bidder is able to deliver the product of...

Regional impact of water resource investments in an developing area Regional impact of water resource investments in an developing area
Regional development and industrialization patterns are investigated and related via regression analysis to water resource investments for the island of Puerto Rico. Although results of this study indicate such investments have little immediate or short‐term impact, significant relationships and variations in regional responses appear over longer time periods. This is shown by applying a...

Quantitative determination of dawsonite in Green River Shale by powder-sample X-ray diffraction; effect of grinding Quantitative determination of dawsonite in Green River Shale by powder-sample X-ray diffraction; effect of grinding
In an effort to evaluate the method of quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction as a means of determining dawsonite abundances in Green River" oil shale, we performed a series of grinding experiments. Weighed mixtures of dawsonite + quartz and dawsonite + quartz + shale were ground for preset lengths of time, and the following X-ray diffraction peaks were measured for intensity...

Garnet peridotite xenoliths in a Montana, U.S.A., kimberlite Garnet peridotite xenoliths in a Montana, U.S.A., kimberlite
Within a swarm of late middle Eocene subsilicic-alkalic diatremes, one diatreme 270 by 370 m and an associated dike contain common xenoliths of granulite and rare xenoliths of spinel peridotite and garnet peridotite. Six garnet lherzolite xenoliths have been found and these show a range of textures. Four are granular, and two are intensely sheared. Phlogopite is absent from the intensely...

Some interpretations of sequential bid pricing strategies Some interpretations of sequential bid pricing strategies
This note provides an alternative interpretation for sequential bid pricing strategies as initially formulated by Kortanek, Soden, and Sodaro [Kortanek, K. O., J. V. Soden, D. Sodabo. 1973. Profit analysis and sequential bid pricing models. Management Sci. 20 (3, November) 396–417. In particular, bid prices obtained from the sequential model are shown to result from a condition which...

A revision of stratigraphic nomenclature for middle precambrian rocks in Northern Michigan A revision of stratigraphic nomenclature for middle precambrian rocks in Northern Michigan
The name Marquette Range Supergroup is proposed to supplant the term Animikie Series for middle Precambrian strata of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan and adjacent areas of Wisconsin. The Marquette Range Supergroup consists of the Chocolay, Menominee, Baraga, and Paint River Groups, as defined in previous literature. We feel that this new name to apply to Northern Peninsula rock units...
