Abstract

* This article is based on the author's dissertation [1] submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Iowa State College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He is indebted to Gerhard Tintner for suggesting the problem and for guiding in its solution and to Earl O. Heady for setting up the empirical example and helping in its analysis. Also, he acknowledges the improvements due to the suggestions and criticism made by other members of the staff of the departments of economics, statistics, and mathematics of Iowa State College.
