Property Rights and Welfare Economics: Miller et al. v. Schoene Revisited
The authors of the present comments have directed their attention to several points in our analysis of the case of Miller et al. v. Schoene. The purpose of our attempt at a diagrammatic exposition of the case was to ultimately illuminate the nature of choices open to society in utility space. While both have valid criticisms, it is unfortunate that neither attempted to fully explore and demonstrate the implications of their recommendations and suggestions on the grand utility frontiers. Following their lead we will specificially respond to their several comments sequentially:
The interrelations between legal and economic processes: a consideration of the reactions
The responses to my 1972 article on the interrelations between legal and economic processes are summarized and critiqued. The principal authors are James Buchanan, Peter Boettke, and William Fischell. My replies center on the normative character of their proposed alternative interpretations vis-à-vis my strictly positive approach. My positivist approach considers law as made rather than found; that law is not something transcendental and given but a matter of human social choice through pragmatic processes; that belief system and material interest influence law making and the law that is made influences belief system and material interests. The article thus is a defense of undertaking an objective, positivist analysis of law and government as they exist in actual political economies (legal-economic nexuses).
Research on Control and Planning of Soft-Wing UAV for Haze Removal
The existence of fog and haze has caused great pollution to the environment. The research of removing haze is a hot topic in recent years. In this paper, a special haze removal algorithm based on Soft- Wing UAVis proposed. In this algorithm, two track control strategies are designed based on the Soft-Wing UAV model transfer function. A SIMULINK platform based mathematical model of Soft-Wing UAV is built to testified effectiveness of the two track control strategies. An autonomous ergodic-planning algorithm with greedy strategy and foldback algorithm for Soft-Wing UAV is designed. Within the algorithm, the haze regional has been modelled, the cost matrix is constructed, and the planning and ergodic strategy is proposed. Finally, the experimental results validates the reliability of the algorithm in the application of haze removal with the proposed evaluation Index.
