Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in India: A Sector-specific Analysis

The motivation behind this empirical investigation comes from the inconclusive evidence produced by a flurry of previous empirical studies on foreign direct investment (FDI)-growth nexus. The study recognises the fact that the treatment of FDI inflows in an aggregate form instead of a sector-specific approach while correlating it with economic growth remains the most tenuous assumption of the previously conducted studies. Driven by the impetus of filling this gap, this study applies a time-varying parameter model with vector autoregressive specification to examine as to how sector-wise FDI inflows can affect the growth of respective sectors in the context of an emerging economy like India. The study uses a number of econometric tests, such as Johansen’s cointegration test, vector error correction model, Granger causality test, variance decomposition analysis and impulse response analysis, to arrive at robust results. The study evidences the inward FDI to be non-contributive to the agricultural output growth. However, a reverse causality is evidenced wherein agricultural output is found to be attracting more FDI into the sector. It also documents interesting evidence for manufacturing sector where the FDI inflow is found to affect its output positively for a couple of years. Regarding service sector, the study confirms a bidirectional causality between FDI and growth both for the short and long run. On the basis of the findings, the study suggests economic policymakers to rejuvenate the primary sector of India so that it can attract and absorb more FDI and ensure sustainable economic growth. Besides, the agriculture-led economic growth policy might be more reliant than service which is largely vulnerable to external shocks.

A High-Performance, Hierarchical Decoupled Architecture

AbstractWe present a novel, high-performance decoupled architecture called the HiDISC (HierarchicalDecoupled Instruction Stream Computer). The HiDISC provides high performance for loop-basedscientiﬁc and signal processing programs by exploiting instruction-level parallelism and improv-ing memory system performance by providing decoupled prefetching. In this paper, we present theHiDISC architecture, a sample program to show how the architecture works, and simulationresults for ﬁve Livermore Loops, discrete convolution, and one other benchmark. The simulationresults show a speedup of two to three for HiDISC compared to a uniprocessor with prefetching.The performance advantage of the HiDISC architecture increases as the miss penalty gets largerrelative to processor cycles, making it an attractive architecture as the difference between proces-sor speed and DRAM speed continues to grow exponentially. 1. Introduction The gap between processor speeds and DRAM speeds is increasing at an exponential rate[WuMc94]. Transistor sizes have been shrinking and die sizes have been growing steadily formany years [Sano94]. These trends have allowed processors to get faster [Denn74] and more com-plex. Processors have used these additional transistors by adding multiple functional units andhighly pipelined modules. As transistors continue to shrink and die sizes get larger, computer ar-chitects must determine how to best use the larger number of available transistors [FaTP94]. Processors have recently used transistors to provide multiple functional units, using the VLIW[Fish83] or superscalar [AgCo87] paradigm, and are deeply pipelined to increase the clock speed.While superscalar, VLIW, and deep pipelining can all provide additional microparallelism, proces-sor performance is limited by memory performance, diminishing the returns of additional micro-parallelism within uniprocessors. Additionally, superscalar and VLIW architectures have limitedwindows in which microparallelism can be exploited. Superscalar architectures can dynamicallyschedule instructions. However, instructions must be scheduled from a window of instructions be-cause dependencies between instructions must be checked by hardware at runtime. As memory la-
Financial Valuation and Risk Management Working Paper No . 760 Are Institutions Informed About News ?

Are Institutions Informed About News? This paper combines daily non-public data on buy and sell volume by institutions from 2003 through 2005 for NYSE-listed stocks with all news announcements from Reuters. Natural language processing categorizes the sentiment associated with each news story. We use institutional order flow (buy volume minus sell volume) as a quantitative measure of net trading by institutions. We find evidence that institutional investors are informed: i) institutional trading volume predicts the occurrence of news announcements; ii) institutional order flow predicts the sentiment of the news; iii) institutional order flow predicts the stock market reaction on news announcement days; and iv) institutional order flow predicts earnings announcement surprises.
Outdoor altitude stabilization of QuadRotor based on type-2 fuzzy and fuzzy PID

This paper presents a design of altitude stabilization of QuadRotor based on type-2 fuzzy and fuzzy PID. This practical design is implemented outdoor. Barometric and sonar sensor were used in this experiment as an input for the controller YoHe. The throttle signal as a control input was provided by the controller to leveling QuadRotor in particular altitude and known well as altitude stabilization. The parameter of type-2 fuzzy and fuzzy PID was tuned in several heights to get the best control parameter for any height. Type-2 fuzzy produced better result than fuzzy PID but had a slow response in the beginning.
The Effect of Goal Constraints on Strategy Generation

Given practice, people generate new more efficient strategies for achieving desired goals. However, some researchers have observed that even experienced users of computer systems persist with relatively inefficient strategies. One reason for these findings may be a reduced opportunity to use efficient strategies in tasks where higher goal constraints are present. In this study half of the participants completed a drawing task in Microsoft PowerPoint in which they had to design the layout of a computer room and study area; the other half completed an equivalent drawing task that involved no higher goal constraints. Those with higher goal constraints were slower to generate more efficient strategies. This can be accounted for by a reduced opportunity to use ‘efficient’ strategies. Experience in other computer packages and strategic knowledge also influenced strategy generation.

Military autonomy: its origins, limits, and the politico-military dialectic of war

ABSTRACT Military officers often oppose political interference in the conduct of war. Political leaders respond by citing Clausewitz’s contention that “war is the continuation of politics with the addition of other means. ” Scholarship in security studies and civil-military relations argues that civilians are right to oppose military autonomy because it serves the parochial interests of the military. However, through the dialectical relationship between the violent essence of war and its political nature, Clausewitz provides an alternative explanation for military demands for autonomy. He shows that military and political leaders are prone to an incomplete understanding of war that can undermine strategy and policy.
Fisica Effective long-range interactions and active flocking : the role of boundary conditions

The study of systems composed by active particles has become an important research topic in the last decade. In Statistical Mechanics it raises questions about nonequilibrium phase transitions since active particles are endowed with internal free energy depot which keep themselves out-of-equilibrium and, when interacting, can generate collective motion (flocking) and dynamical aggregation (clustering). Many diverse models, implementing the basic ingredients which allow collective motion, have been proposed in order to capture the global features displayed by these active systems. However a sufficiently wide and predictive model has yet to be found. In this thesis we study a continuous time model for the description of a two-dimensional coherent motion in groups of locally interacting biological units, based on the well established Vicsek model . We examine this system, in analytical and numerical fashions, in domains with different boundary conditions. We show that changing such boundary conditions dramatically influences the properties of particles dynamics. With reflecting boundary conditions in a static disk, typically a rotating behaviour along the border arises. While, with a moving disk confinement a much richer phenomenology occurs.
Herpetofauna of San José del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia

We present the results of three years of sampling of amphibians and reptiles in different habitats in the municipality of San Jose del Guaviare, Guaviare, Colombia. We conducted four field excursions between 2012 and 2014 and found a total of 40 amphibian and 63 reptile species, representing a sampling coverage of 98 % for amphibians and 93 % for reptiles. Collection records and literature search increased our species list by 7 amphibians and 4 reptiles, for a total of 47 amphibians and 67 reptile species recorded for the region. Also, for the first time in Colombia, we documented the presence of the lizard Gymnophthalmus leucomystax , and confirmed the expansion of the distribution of the frog Boana maculateralis , and the snakes Atractus collaris , Atractus fuliginosus and Epictia amazonica in the department of Guaviare. Since most of the species found are from the central and western region of San Jose del Guaviare, sampling towards the eastern region, which has higher forest cover and less perturbed habitats, will undoubtedly increase the number of recorded species.
Towards discrete wavelet transform-based human activity recognition

Providing accurate recognition of human activities is a challenging problem for visual surveillance applications. In this paper, we present a simple and efficient algorithm for human activity recognition based on a wavelet transform. We adopt discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients as a feature of human objects to obtain advantages of its multiresolution approach. The proposed method is tested on multiple levels of DWT. Experiments are carried out on different standard action datasets including KTH and i3D Post. The proposed method is compared with other state-of-the-art methods in terms of different quantitative performance measures. The proposed method is found to have better recognition accuracy in comparison to the state-of-the-art methods.
Comparing the Relationship Between Nominal and Real Effective Exchange Rates During the Last Two Devaluations in Algeria

Abstract This article examines the impact of nominal effective exchange rate on real effective exchange rate in Algeria, using autoregressive distributed lag bounds test approach with monthly time series data from 2008 to 2017. Empirical results suggest that the nominal devaluation leads to real devaluation not only in the long run but also in the short run in Algeria for both devaluations. But all coefficients estimated for the second devaluation are low compared to the first devaluation. Our analysis shows that reducing the import through devaluation of the dinar led to a significant increase in import prices. However, the present study shows that taking into account all of the structural problems of the Algerian economy, the devaluation of the dinar may lead to more severe inflation than anticipated by the Algerian government.
Semi-Automatic Dictionary Drafting

In this paper we have charted how the Theory of Norms and Exploitations makes a link between the high theory of philosophy and language, and what we find in the lexicon. We have followed Patrick in exploring what this means for the use of corpora and for lexicography, briefly describing his application of the theory in Corpus Pattern Analysis. After considering the appeal and the shortcommings of automatic word sense disambiguation, we have presented a piece of software, SADD, which aims to reconcile the excitement and enthusiasm that publishers, investors, computational linguists and software developers feels for WSD with the insights of 'norms and exploitations' and CPA, and the boundless messy detail in corpus.
Refining teaching expertise through analysing students’ work: a case of elementary mathematics teacher professional learning during lesson study in Singapore

ABSTRACT This article provides a concrete illustration of how teachers in a primary school in Singapore discuss students’ learning in a lesson study cycle and grew professionally as a community. Specifically, we examined how collaboratively analysing students’ work serves as a useful practice for teachers to learn to work with diverse learners. The findings suggested that open discussions around students’ work helped teachers to reflect upon their unwarranted perceptions of their students and their teaching. The study provided insights into how teachers’ understandings of their students’ diverse backgrounds, as well as teachers’ understanding of subject content and pedagogy, developed as they participated in lesson study activities that were focused on analysing students’ work. Our findings found that lesson study provided the following affordances to foster such changes: (1) eliciting hypotheses in dialogue; (2) creating space for alternative perspectives; (3) collaboratively scrutinizing student learning evidence for follow-up teaching; and (4) identifying problems for further discussion. While the illustration of this case is uniquely Singaporean, implications include concerns about teacher professional learning and teaching for equity common to many other educational contexts.
Stable stitching method for stereoscopic panoramic video

This paper proposes a stable method of generating a stereoscopic panoramic video with the omnidirectional stereo (ODS) format. Different from the traditional image stitching method which can only be applied to generate a monocular panorama, we adopt an optical flow-based blending method to create two panoramas for binocular vision. In addition, traditional image stitching methods based on seam-finding tend to cause the problem of temporal flicker. We address this problem by restricting the optical flow field of the new frame with its previous frame's optical flow field. Thus, the generated video is stable and out of temporal flicker. There are four key operations in our approach. First, we adopt the ODS format which is the basis of stereoscopic panorama. Second, we do effective exposure compensation, making the brightness of the two eyes' panoramas consistent. Third, we employ an optical flow-based blending method to synthesis the final panorama effectively. Fourth, we take the previous frame's optical flow field as the restriction of the present frame's optical flow field to acquire a stable video. The final output videos can deliver a pleasant and impressive stereoscopic viewing experience to the audience when the audience watches the videos in the virtual reality headset.
Tafatolu (three-sides): A Samoan research methodological framework

INTRODUCTION: A Samoan research methodological framework called Tafatolu (three-sides) involves the synthesis of three key parts considered as valuable to any research – a contemporary academic approach to research, a cultural approach, and the self that represents the researcher’s perspectives and positioning within the project. The rationale behind the Tafatolu methodological framework is to provide an integration of Western and Samoan perspectives to research that incorporates the cultural values and practices of the target population, as well as of the researcher.METHOD: The researcher’s doctoral study that conceptualised, articulated, and used the Tafatolu methodological framework involved the synthesis of a contemporary academic approach to research (qualitative approach), with a cultural approach (a Samoan metaphor fetu’utu’una’i muniao– manoeuvring a fisher’s rod), merged with the researcher’s own input into doingresearch (positioning as an insider/outsider researcher). Specifically, the Tafatolu methodological framework guided the researcher’s study in its methodology, methods, and the analysis of data.IMPLICATIONS: The Tafatolu methodological framework proposed and discussed in this paper provides a way to integrate western and contemporary academic approaches to research, with indigenous and cultural approaches. The fusion of its underlying concepts – a contemporary academic approach, a cultural approach, and the self – can accommodate both the context of the targeted populations under review, as well as the context of the researcher.
