Introduction and Dedication
This volume is the thirteenth annual publication of the Duke Journal of Economics. The Journal is a showcase for outstanding contributions made each year to the discipline of economics by Duke undergraduates.
We dedicate this issue to Professor David G. Davies on the occasion of his 77th birthday. Professor Davies joined the Economics Department in 1961. He maintained a profound interest in undergraduate education at Duke throughout his tenure here, until his retirement to San Diego, California in 1991. He served the department as both its chair and its director of undergraduate studies. He is warmly remembered for his stewardship of the department, and highly respected for his influential work in public finance, especially his studies of the comparative efficiency of public and private enterprises.
The
Journal would like to thank donors to the Havrilesky Fund and
Allen Starling Johnson, Jr. Endowment Fund as well as members of the
staff of Duke University Economics Department, especially Priscilla
Lane. In her role as Managing Editor she designed the layout, was instrumental
in developing the structure of the Journal and worked with all
the Journal's authors to polish their contributions.
