  • Periodicity in US FDA Medical Devices Applications Author
    Periodicity in US FDA Registered Medical Devices Author: Daizadeh, I. Title: Seasonal and Secular Periodicities Identified in the Dynamics of US FDA Medical Devices (1976‐ 2020): Portends Intrinsic Industrial Transformation and Independence of Certain Crises Author: Iraj Daizadeh, PhD, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, 40 Landsdowne St. Cambridge, MA, 02139, [email protected] Abstract: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices (MD), which are predicated on a concoction of economic and policy forces (e.g., supply/demand, crises, patents), under primarily two administrative circuits: Premarketing Notifications (PMN) and Approvals (PMAs). This work considers the dynamics of FDA PMNs and PMAs applications as an proxy metric for the evolution of the MD industry, and specifically seeks to test the existence (and, if so, identify the length scale(s)) of economic/business cycles. Beyond summary statistics, the monthly (May, 1976 to December, 2020) number of observed FDA MD Applications are investigated via an assortment of time series techniques (including: Discrete Wavelet Transform, Running Moving Average Filter, Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode with Adaptive Noise decomposition, and Seasonal Trend Loess decomposition) to exhaustively seek and find such periodicities. This work finds that from 1976 to 2020, the dynamics of MD applications are (1) non‐ normal, non‐stationary (fractional order of integration < 1), non‐linear, and strongly persistent (Hurst > 0.5); (2) regular (non‐variance), with latent periodicities following seasonal, 1‐year (short‐term), 5‐6 year (Juglar; mid‐term), and a single 24‐year (Kuznets; medium‐term) period (when considering the total number of MD applications); (3) evolving independently of any specific exogeneous factor (such as the COVID‐19 crisis); (4) comprised of two inversely opposing processes (PMNs and PMAs) suggesting an intrinsic structural industrial transformation occurring within the MD industry; and, (6) predicted to continue its decline (as a totality) into the mid‐2020s until recovery.

DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities.

  • Why Didn't Economists Predict the Great Depression?
    Why Didn’t Economists Predict the Great Depression? Leon Taylor KIMEP Social Research Working Paper No. 6 February 2011 © Copyright 2011 Leon Taylor KIMEP Social Research Working Papers ISSN 1996 -7020 2 Why didn’t economists predict the Great Depression? Leon Taylor 1 The Department of Economics and the Office of the President Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research (KIMEP) Almaty, Kazakhstan Draft: January 2011 Version for researchers Abstract Economists failed to forecast the Great Depression, perhaps largely because they had lacked reason to theorize about business cycles. This paper tries to explain the lack of incentives. Since theory is a public good, the market produces too little of it. One non-market incentive, ex post fame, may be proportional to the value of the theory -- and thus induce more theory as its value grows. But fame comes from explaining famous events. A theory may explain a potential disaster so well as to enable policymakers to avert it. Since the event does not occur, its explainer cannot become famous. Theorists who anticipate this paradox will avoid work on the potential event; theorists who work nonetheless on events never to occur will become obscure. Another factor retarding business-cycle theory is scale economies. Learning-by-doing can induce theory by cutting its cost. Scale economies favor the first theories to be well-developed. These dealt with markets – not with business cycles – in the decades before the Depression which redirected attention to macroeconomics. ( JEL classifications: B10, E32) I. Introduction The Great Depression bemused economists of the day. “The slump in trade and employment and the business losses which are being incurred,” Keynes (1963: 148) said in 1931, “are as bad as the worst which have ever occurred in the modern history of the world.” Economists were caught off-guard.

  • Institutional Economics
    INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Malcolm Rutherford University of Victoria (This Draft: March 2001) This paper draws on archival work using the James Bonbright Papers, J. M. Clark Papers, Joseph Dorfman Papers, Carter Goodrich Papers, Robert Hale Papers, and Wesley Mitchell Papers, all at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University, the Arthur F. Burns Papers at the Eisenhower Library, Abilene, Kansas, and the John R. Commons Papers at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. My thanks to Lowell Harriss, Aaron Warner, Eli Ginzberg, Donald Dewey, Mark Perlman, Daniel Fusfeld, Mark Blaug, and Walter Neale for sharing their recollections of Columbia. Thanks also to my research assistant Cristobal Young. Any errors are my responsibility. This research has been supported by a Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada research grant (project # 410-99-0465). 1 1. Introduction In a number of recent papers I have attempted to outline the nature of the institutionalist movement in American economics in the interwar period (Rutherford 2000a, 2000b, 2000c). At that time institutionalism was a very significant part of American economics. In terms of research output and the production of graduate students, the main centers for institutionalism were the university of Chicago (until 1926 and the departure of J. M. Clark), the University of Wisconsin, the Robert Brookings Graduate School (which existed only briefly between 1923 and 1928), and, after the arrival of Wesley Mitchell in 1913, and J. M. Clark in 1926, Columbia University. Columbia University became the academic home of a large concentration of economists of institutionalist leaning, and other Schools and Departments in the University, particularly Business, Law, Sociology, and Philosophy, also contained many people of similar or related persuasion.

    Econometrics, Practice Questions, ECO54 Udayan Roy These questions are based on chapter 11 of The Ordinary Business of Life by Roger Backhouse and Chapter 16 of History of Economic Thought, Fourth Edition, by Harry Landreth and David Colander. The latter item was distributed as a handout in class. If you do not have it, please pick up your copy from the economics department’s offices. 1. On the issue of using observed facts to test economic theories, which of the following is correct? a. Most economists believe that their theories of how the economy works must be tested against real-world events and data. However, there is more disagreement on the proper procedure for the use of data to test theories. b. Few economists believe that their theories of how the economy works must be tested against real-world events and data. However, most economists agree on the proper procedure for the use of data to test theories, if such testing is done. c. As economists generally cannot do controlled experiments to test their theories, most economists believe that it is futile to try to use real-world data to test their theories. d. Most economists believe that their theories of how the economy works must be tested against real-world events and data. Most economists agree that the only proper procedure for such testing is to run controlled experiments. 2. According to Ragnar Frisch, a Norwegian economist who became a pioneer of the subject, econometrics a. Is the expression of economic theory in mathematical terms b. Refers to the collection of data to describe an economy quantitatively c.

  • Aggregation Problem in Demand Analysis, 1930S-1950S
    Aggregation Problem in Demand Analysis, 1930s-1950s Hugo Chu∗ Abstract This article examines the emergence of the representative agent as the outcome of trans- formations that occurred in microeconomics in the 1930s-1950s years, especially in the subfield of demand theory. To tell this story, I begin with a particular historical inter- pretation of this subfield, propounded by Wade Hands and Philip Mirowski in the 1990s, known as the Hotelling-Schultz Impasse. Although this impasse was abandoned by the end of the 1930s, the testing of the Symmetry Restrictions and the validity of the Integra- bility Conditions continued to draw the attention of different research centers. The Cowles Commission, represented by its research director, Tjalling Koopmans, played an impor- tant role during this stage and, more to the point, in the subsequent emergence of the representative agent in microeconomics through their approach to aggregation problem. The significance of Paul Samuelson's introduction of homothetic preferences into General Equilibrium Theory and its connection to Koopmans's writings during the 1950s is also emphasized. Keywords: Representative Agent, Aggregation Problem, Tjalling Koopmans Resumo O presente artigo examina a emerg^enciado agente representativo como resultado da trans- forma¸c~aoque ocorreu na economia nos anos de 1930 a 1950, especialmente no subcampo da teoria da demanda.

  • Models, Fact and Fiction in Economics
    Journal of the British Academy, 2, 231–268. DOI 10.5871/jba/002.231 Posted 18 December 2014. © The British Academy 2014 What if? Models, fact and fiction in economics Keynes Lecture in Economics read 16 October 2013 MARY S. MORGAN Fellow of the Academy Abstract: Economists build models to understand the economy, but to outsiders these often seem to be imagined or fictional worlds, accounts that seem closer to those of science fiction than to matters of science. Such a judgement underrates the importance of fictional elements and the imagination in the way economists make and use their models. Paying attention to the ‘what-if’ questions that economists ask when they use their models reveals how they create the keys that enable them to translate between their imaginary model worlds and the real economic world we all live in. Keywords: economists, economic models, fictional worlds, ‘what-if’ questions. I FICTION IN SCIENCE Economists use models as a way to understand the world. But their ways of working with models often appear quite strange, and even worthy of suspicion to commentators, because those worlds that economists picture in their models seem to be imaginary worlds, not the one we live in. This fictional quality of economists’ models makes them interesting for an historian and philosopher of economics. Are economists’ models fictions (in which case how do they become so)? Or is it that economic models function as fictions? If they are fictions, are they a form of science fiction, or are economists creating fictions in the service

  • An Abstract of the Dissertation Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristine C. Harper for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science presented on April 25, 2003. Title: Boundaries of Research: Civilian Leadership, Military Funding, and the International Network Surrounding the Development of Numerical Weather Prediction in the United States. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: E. Doel American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no professional society. The post-World War I rise of aeronautics spurred demands for increased meteorological education and training. The Navy arranged the first graduate program in meteorology in 1928 at MIT. It was followed by four additional programs in the interwar years. When the U.S. military found itself short of meteorological support for World War II, a massive training program created thousands of new mathematics- and physics-savvy meteorologists. Those remaining in the field after the war had three goals: to create a mathematics-based theory for meteorology, to create a method for objectively forecasting the weather, and to professionalize the field. Contemporaneously, mathematician John von Neumann was preparing to create a new electronic digital computer which could solve, via numerical analysis, the equations that defmed the atmosphere. Weather Bureau Chief Francis W. Reichelderfer encouraged von Neumann, with Office of Naval Research funding, to attack the weather forecasting problem. Assisting with the proposal was eminent Swedish-born meteorologist Carl-Gustav Rossby.

CRO W Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1994 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. SEWALL WRIGHT December 21, 1889-March 3, 1988 BY JAMES F. CROW HE MATHEMATICAL THEORY of evolution and the science of Tpopulation genetics began with, and for a generation was almost totally dominated by, three men: R. A. Fisher, J. B. S. Haldane, and Sewall Wright. Wright's unique contri- bution was his "shifting balance theory," which holds that the best opportunity for evolutionary progress is afforded by a large population comprising many partially isolated local groups. Within each group a certain amount of trial and error experimentation can take place, and successful combinations can spread throughout the population. Al- though the theory remains controversial, it has been very popular and influential in the biological community. Wright also developed much of the theory of inbreeding (his coefficient of inbreeding is standard material in el- ementary textbooks) and the genetics of quantitative traits. In addition, he was a pioneer in physiological genetics and was uniquely responsible for the developmental and coat- color genetics of guinea pigs. Wright's method of path analysis, originally used mainly by animal breeders, has be- come a standard statistical technique in the social sciences. Wright was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1934.
