The information in the supporting statement is sufficient to allow the conclusion that an export quota of 20-30 specimens in the year 2000 will not be detrimental to the survival of the species. It is in particular noteworthy that these specimens will be nuisance animals (preying on livestock) that would be killed for this reason. It is also encouraging to note that the proponent intends to mai...

Dietary practices of college students were described and examined according to the means by which they were admitted to the university (quota and non-quota students). A cross-sectional study was conducted with undergraduates (n = 1336) at a public university using a self-administered and identified questionnaire that inquired about their habits of eating breakfast and substituting lunch and/or ...

We collaborate with a Swedish retail chain to conduct a field experiment in which we change the sales force compensation scheme from a monthly to a daily quota plan. This intervention, along with a control group that did not encounter a change in compensation structure, allows us to analyze the effect of quota frequency on sales force performance. Over a given time frame (i.e., a month), we fin...

Methods for the analysis of unmatched case-control data based on a finite population sampling model are developed. Under this model, and the prospective logistic model for disease probabilities, a likelihood for case-control data that accommodates very general sampling of controls is derived. This likelihood has the form of a weighted conditional logistic likelihood. The flexibility of the meth...

We propose that White men derive a psychological benefit from believing that affirmative action is a quota-based policy. Three studies provide evidence that quota beliefs protect White men’s self-esteem by boosting their sense of self-competence. Study 1 found a positive relationship between quota beliefs and self-esteem that was mediated by self-perceived competence. In Studies 2 and 3, the be...

Geoffrey Grimmett Abstra t. The problem of how to allocate to states the seats in the US House of Representatives is the most studied instance of what is termed the ‘apportionment problem’. We propose a new method of apportionment which is stochastic, which meets the quota condition, and which is fair in the sense of expectations. Two sources of systematic unfairness are identified, firstly the...

Analyses of trade quotas typically assume that the quota restricts the flow of some nondurable good. Many real-world quotas, however, restrict the stock of durable imports. We consider the cases where (1) anyone is free to export against such quotas and where (2) only those allocated portions of the total quota are free to export against such quotas. Recent econometric investigations of such qu...

Selection by quotas is an important policy measure in the affirmative action tool box. Despite quotas being effective for achieving certain numerical representations, they can come with unwanted side effects, for example in the form of uncooperative behavior in the group created by the quota. In the laboratory, we investigate the extent to which preferential selection in the form of an unrepres...
