The Greening of Saint Lucia
Authors: Walters Bradley B.
Published: November 2023

Saint Lucia’s rural landscape is more forested today than at any time in at least seventy-five years (probably much longer). This change is profoundly significant given widespread efforts to achieve sustainable development on small-island states like Saint Lucia. Yet, this seemingly good-news story runs contrary to most conventional narratives about the worsening state of the environment in the Caribbean and elsewhere. How did this remarkable change come about? What role did government, the private sector and other actors play in this? What are the links between this environmental change and wider changes in the Saint Lucian economy, politics and society? Is there more to this story than meets the eye? These questions are explored in this interdisciplinary study of changing human-environment relations since the Second World War. The Greening of Saint Lucia is based on the results of a long-term, field-based research project that began in 2006. It entails the application of a novel research methodology for doing human-environment research (ACE: abductive causal eventism) that the author co-developed with a colleague from Rutgers University. This causal-historical methodology allows for the rigorous integration of findings derived from natural and social science sources, including ecological and air photo assessments, interviews, secondary data sources, and archival investigations.

The Jamaican People 1880-1902
Authors: Bryan Patrick E.
Published: November 2023

This book describes the period in Jamaica's history that follows the abolition of slavery, up to the introduction of universal adult suffrage. These years, which have been called the "quiet years", between the Morant Bay rebellion of 1865 and the labour disturbances of the 1930s, are the least studied of Jamaica's modern history. Bryan provides a penetrating analysis of the social, intellectual and political history of this era. Crown colony government, law and order, religious and social structure, labour, health and poor relief, the black middle class and the ideas of the black intelligentsia are explored in the context of race, class and ethnicity. Bryan charts the development of working class politicization out of which Garveyism emerged as a response to which hegemony and black underprivilege.
The Unappropriated People
Authors: Handler Jerome S.
Published: November 2023

This classic examination of the freedmen in the slave society of Barbados was first published in 1974 and has not been widely available for years. Reissued now with a new introduction by Melanie Newton that places the work in the context of the historiography of studies of Caribbean free-coloured populations, this classic is now available to a new generation of scholars and students. The work remains the only treatment of the free people of colour of Barbados from the earliest periods of the slave society to emancipation in 1834 and provides the most detailed discussion of the manumission process for any British West Indian society. Allowed certain rights and privileges not extended to slaves but denied others reserved for whites, the social status of the free people was ambiguous. Thus there was wide latitude for varying interpretations of what their position should be, but Handler shows how the freedmen=s struggle for civil rights was a collective effort to maximize their free status and to avoid a position of permanent intermediacy between white and enslaved. Using the petitions and addresses written by the freedmen themselves, Handler contends that they neither challenged the notion of a class society nor attempted to deny the upper stratum those privileges commensurate with its rank. They argued that a hierarchically organized society should be based on that set of social and economic criteria that whites used in drawing distinctions among themselves. It was evident, however, that as long as the slave society continued to exist, the freedmen of Barbados would remain an “unappropriated people”, neither enslaved nor entirely free.
Don't Burn Our Bridges
Authors: Holder Jean S.
Published: November 2023

Don’t Burn our Bridges: The Case for Caribbean Carriers argues that a tourism-dependent region comprised largely of a group of islands must, in its own best interest, retain ownership of key aspects of its air access in spite of the costs and challenges involved in so doing. Air transportation is the glue that cements the tourism market to the destination, but it is also the aerial bridge connecting the territories and peoples of a single market and economy. Often regional airlines are forced to offer a mixture of commercial and social routes, which makes profitability difficult. The social service they provide is critical, however, and public sector shareholders should not measure their return on investment simply in terms of the bottom line. Holder rejects a widely held view that Caribbean governments, should not support their own carriers financially. Instead, he argues that because of their overall contribution to development generally, the air transportation industry should be counted among those companies in the region which are too big (and important) to be allowed to fail. Don’t Burn Our Bridges documents the history of Caribbean airlines and attempts to demystify the complexities of such concepts as deregulation, yield management, hedging of oil prices, fare setting, fuel surcharges and a la carte pricing, while making the point that running successful airlines has defeated some of the world’s most brilliant business minds. Holder also explores the impact of the global economic meltdown of 2008–2009 on air transportation and Caribbean tourism, and proposes a way forward for air transportation in the Caribbean community.

Effect of Implementation of Mainstreaming Practices on Retention of Learners with Special Needs in Regular Public Primary Schools in Lurambi Sub-County, Kakamega, Kenya
Authors: Monica Mackenzie Khalai , Rop Naftali , Tanui Edward
Published: November 2023

Enrolment statistics for learners with special needs at Lurambi sub-county Educational Assessment and Resource Centre are alarming and warrant verifying whether these learners receive any mainstream education and are retained in the schools after placement. The study sought to determine the implementation of mainstreamed practices on the retention of learners with special needs. The study was guided by Michael Oliver's Social Model of disability theory, which argues that it is the society that segregates and disables people with special needs. This theory advocates for society with its institutions to adjust their approach to people with disabilities by creating an ambient environment instead of requiring them to adjust and fit unapologetically in the defined structures by society. The study employed a Descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 406 teachers from 29 regular public primary schools with resource rooms. Questionnaires and checklists were the main instruments of data collection. A document analysis guide was used for collecting data on learners' enrolment from the years 2016 to 2020. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, frequencies, percentages and the findings presented in frequency tables. Findings showed that awareness of mainstreaming and learner-based factors also affect retention of learners with special needs in regular public primary schools. The study recommends the training of all teachers to be able to teach learners with special needs. The KICD should develop and disseminate teaching and learning resources specifically made for learners with special needs. The study suggests further research to compare the effect of learners with special needs in mainstream education on the performance of learners without special needs

Effects of lexical skills and orthographic neighborhood size in word memory
Authors: Ballot Claire , Robert Christelle , Dujardin Emilie , Mathey Stéphanie
Published: November 2023

Two experiments were designed to investigate the relationship between individual lexical skills in young adults and memory performance on words varying by their orthographic neighborhood size. In Experiment 1, a sample of 100 university students were administrated a set of spelling, reading, and vocabulary tests to assess their lexical skills. Then, they had to learn mixed lists of words from high and low neighborhood size and perform free recall and memory recognition tasks. Importantly, high lexical skills were found to enhance free recall and, to a lesser extent, recognition. In addition, a typical mirror effect of neighborhood size was found in recognition as words were better recognized and also produced less false alarms when they had a low neighborhood size. In Experiment 2, pure lists of words were designed and a new sample of 90 university students was assessed. We replicated the effect of lexical skills in free recall and the effect of neighborhood size for hits in recognition. Spelling skills were found to interact with neighborhood size in free recall in that low spelling skills were associated with a facilitatory effect of neighborhood size. In recognition, a relation between reading skills and neighborhood size was found such that the higher the reading skills, the higher was the inhibitory effect of neighborhood size. These results provide new evidence of an influence of lexical skills in word memory performance and underline the role of orthographic neighborhood size in episodic memory tasks.
DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION
Authors:   Bashkir State Agrarian University, KUZNETSOVA ALFIYA R.
Published: November 2023

The contribution of the agricultural sector to the formation of the gross domestic product of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union is not the same. According to the official data of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the contribution of agriculture to the GDP of Kyrgyzstan in 2021 was 17%, Armenia — 12,8%, Belarus — 7,8%, Kazakhstan — 5,5%, Russian Federation — 4,3%. In total, the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union have 317 million hectares of agricultural land (which is approximately 15% of the world scale), about 189 million hectares of arable land (which reaches 11% of the world value). The overall level of plowing of agricultural land in the EAEU countries is about 60%. In the total structure of the gross agricultural output of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, the largest share both in 2017 and in 2021 belongs to the Russian Federation (about 80%), then to Kazakhstan (10–11%), the Republic of Belarus (5–6%), Armenia and Kyrgyzstan (2% each). All ongoing processes in the economic development of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union are to some extent similar. The agrarian policy of the Eurasian Economic Union should be aimed at a radical increase in labor productivity and the growth of exports of processed agricultural products to friendly countries. It is necessary to ensure the processing of raw materials and enter the world markets with high-quality finished products. The main direction for strengthening the Eurasian Economic Union should be: 1) the development of a powerful and modern production and marketing foundation based on cooperation, integration and international scientific cooperation; 2) implementation of a coordinated policy in the agro-industrial complex and agriculture; 3) improving the quality of products, the development of import substitution; 4) attraction of competitive, extraordinary-thinking personnel; 5) systematic introduction of innovations. The food market of the Eurasian Economic Union is a self-sufficient, resource-provided market, developing processing technologies in which you can get a decent economic benefit.

Published: November 2023

The article examines the issues of digitalization of rural areas in the Russian Federation, assesses the problems and prospects of their development. The functions of villages in the national economy were studied, the number of rural population was monitored, including in the Volgograd region. The analysis of the main indicators reflecting the level of modern digitalization of villages is carried out. It is proposed to introduce the concept of “smart village” in rural areas of the Russian Federation, taking into account the prerequisites that determine the need for its implementation. Recommendations on the selection of the main components of the “smart village” are given, their description is given. The study confirms the possibility of solving the problems of villages by digitalizing their economic processes.
ANALYSIS OF LINKAGE FLUCTUATION IN TIME SERIES DATA OF NICKEL FUTURES PRICE INDEX
Authors: Chen Xiaoci , Huo Guanyu , Cao Gaojie
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the variation pattern of nickel futures prices using the daily closing levels of the nickel futures price index of the London Futures Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange. The data coarse-graining method is employed to transform the continuous time series data of price index changes into symbols {P, N, M}, which are slid through continuous windows to form the modalities of price index linkage fluctuations. By treating the modalities as nodes and the transformations between them as edges, a weighted directed complex network is constructed to represent the linked volatility of the LME and SHFE nickel futures indices time series. The complex network is applied to analyse the network characteristics and obtain the inner pattern of the linked fluctuations. The results show that the complex network of time series linked volatility of the LME and SHFE nickel futures indices exhibits a power-law nature, with closely linked subgroups formed within it. And the mode transitions within these subgroups follow certain patterns. This paper also identifies core positioned modes and important intermediate modes that reflect the dynamics of nickel prices in reality. The method presented in this paper may be extended to related fields and has good applicability.
Linking the Metallicity Enrichment History to the Star Formation History: An SFH-regulated Chemical Evolution Model and Its Implications for the Gas Cycling Process
Authors: Yin Jun , Shen Shiyin , Hao Lei
Published: November 2023

The metallicity enrichment history (MEH) of a galaxy is determined by its star formation history (SFH) and the gas cycling process. In this paper, we construct a chemical evolution model that is regulated by the SFH of the system. In this SFH-regulated model, the evolution of all other variables, including the MEH, can be determined by the SFH. We test this model on six locally isolated dwarf galaxies covering three dwarf types that were observed by the Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs (LCID) project. The SFHs and MEHs of these LCID galaxies are relatively reliable because they have been measured from deep color–magnitude diagrams that reach the main-sequence turnoff stars with good photometric accuracy. With simple assumptions of the star formation law and the mass-dependent outflows, our SFH-regulated model successfully reproduces the MEHs of all six LCID galaxies from their SFHs, with only one free parameter, the wind efficiency η ∼ 1.0, for all six galaxies. This model provides a physically motivated link that directly connects the SFH and MEH of a galaxy, which will be useful to accommodate into the state-of-the-art stellar population synthesis models to help relieve the nuisance of the heavy degeneracy between the ages and metallicities of the stellar populations.

Fonds climatiques : l'heure du grand ménage a sonné
Authors: Le Houérou Philippe
Published: November 2023

Au cours des trente dernières années, pas moins de 94 fonds verts pour le climat ont été lancés afin de financer des projets et des programmes de lutte contre le changement climatique dans les marchés émergents et dans les économies en développement. Chacun de ces fonds peut avoir trouvé une justification au moment de sa création. Toutefois, considérés comme un tout, ils ne s'additionnent pas et leur contribution aux flux totaux de la finance verte reste marginale. Dans cet article, nous avons recensé 81 fonds actifs à la fin de 2022. Il est en outre difficile, voire impossible, d'évaluer ne serait-ce que les aspects les plus élémentaires de la gestion financière et de l'impact de ces fonds en tant que « système » et canal de financement de la lutte contre le changement climatique. Étant donné le caractère impérieux à renforcer les politiques et les projets d'adaptation au changement climatique et d'atténuation de ses effets sur les marchés émergents et dans les économies en développement, et plutôt que de créer de nouveaux fonds qui viendraient s'ajouter à l'étonnante atomisation actuelle, il est urgent de réduire massivement le nombre considérable de fonds climatiques existants et de réformer les fonds qui subsisteront, de manière à renforcer leur transparence, leur efficacité, leurs effets de synergie et leur impact. Cela constituerait une première étape judicieuse dans la rationalisation et la redéfinition de l'architecture chaotique de l'aide au développement actuelle, d'autant plus que la plupart de ces fonds relèvent du financement public.

Vers une économie mondiale durable : le rôle des banques multilatérales de développement dans le financement des biens publics mondiaux
Authors: Renaud-Basso Odile
Published: November 2023

Nous faisons aujourd'hui face à un défi unique et sans précédent : une double crise environnementale et climatique. Cette crise pourrait entraîner des conséquences irréversibles et dangereuses pour l'humanité. Elle résulte largement d'une défaillance de marché, à laquelle il est nécessaire de remédier. Réaliser ces changements ambitieux, mais essentiels, est la responsabilité de tous les acteurs, et les besoins de financement sont grands. Les gouvernements, le secteur privé mais aussi les particuliers ont leur rôle à jouer. De plus, les banques multilatérales de développement, comme la BERD, doivent faciliter le financement des biens publics mondiaux et accompagner les pays en développement pour résoudre leur crise en garantissant leur compétitivité à l'échelle mondiale. L'objectif est d'amener ces économies à évoluer afin d'assurer que le pouvoir du marché aboutisse aux résultats escomptés. Cela consiste principalement à mobiliser des capitaux privés et à reformer des systèmes économiques. Réussir à s'attaquer sérieusement et efficacement à ces enjeux constitue à la fois une capacité à faire face à la crise, mais aussi à saisir une opportunité économique.

La négociation de l'accord sur la biodiversité en haute mer (BBNJ) : dans la fabrique multilatérale de la gouvernance financière d'un bien commun
Authors: Stehelin Tanguy
Published: November 2023

Le 3 mars 2023 se sont conclues les négociations relatives au troisième accord d'application de la Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer, dite de Montego Bay, dont l'objet est la protection de la biodiversité en haute mer et l'encadrement des activités qui se déploient dans cet espace. Cet accord dit BBNJ ( Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction ) a été formellement adopté le 9 juin suivant par consensus, et doit maintenant être signé et ratifié par les futurs États parties. Se fondant sur la classification développée par Elinor Ostrom faisant de la haute mer et des ressources biologiques qu'elle contient des common-pool resources (biens communs), cet article a pour objet d'analyser les conséquences de l'adoption de ce traité en matière de gouvernance d'un bien commun dont l'exploitation a vocation à produire une ressource financière encore difficilement quantifiable.

Stabilité financière et monétaire internationale : un bien public en quête d'un cadre de gouvernance
Authors: Songwe Vera
Published: November 2023

Partant de la littérature sur les biens publics mondiaux, nous examinons l'adéquation du système financier et monétaire américain en tant que bien public mondial par rapport aux marchés émergents et aux économies à faible revenu. Nous analysons les externalités négatives causées par les crises du système financier et la possibilité d'adopter une taxe de type Pigouvien avec des implications pour les économies de marché frontalières et émergentes. Nous examinons le cadre institutionnel nécessaire à la mise en place d'une version du système financier et monétaire international véritablement axée sur les biens publics mondiaux, en réfléchissant à la gouvernance mondiale d'un tel système et, en particulier, aux outils nécessaires à une collaboration et à une coordination mondiales inclusives et améliorées .

L’impact du changement climatique sur le cycle de l’eau à partir du nouveau portail DRIAS-Eau
Authors: Soubeyroux Jean-Michel
Published: November 2023

Le changement climatique provoque à l’échelle planétaire des évolutions importantes du cycle de l’eau, notamment en accentuant la variabilité des composantes hydrologiques moyennes et les extrêmes. En France, l’augmentation des températures moyennes sous l’effet du changement climatique se traduit par une hausse de l’évapotranspiration et une diminution globale de la ressource en eau. En climat futur, les nouvelles simulations hydrologiques préparées dans le cadre du projet Explore2, confirment la poursuite et l’accentuation de cette tendance au moins jusqu’en milieu de siècle avec des impacts sur les variables hydrologiques nuancés par les incertitudes sur l’évolution des précipitations. Le nouveau portail DRIAS-Eau ouvert en mars 2023, permet de préciser les futurs de l’eau et les incertitudes associées à l’échelle locale et de mettre à disposition les données et indicateurs pour faciliter la prise en compte du changement climatique par les acteurs de l’eau.
L’eau et le changement climatique – la concertation entre les acteurs
Authors: Launay Jean
Published: November 2023

La concertation fait partie des fondamentaux de la gestion de l’eau en France et les lois sur l’eau de 1964 et 1992 sont les piliers de cette organisation décentralisée, déconcentrée, porteuse de fiscalité écologique et de démocratie participative. Des engagements d’élu local puis de parlementaire qui amènent naturellement à la recherche de solutions, lesquelles passent par le préalable de l’écoute des acteurs. Le Comité national de l’eau « Parlement de l’eau » comme lieu privilégié de la concertation. Même si nous devons nous y attacher, les conditions de l’accès à l’eau, les conditions de son partage et de sa qualité ne seront jamais définitivement stabilisées. L’eau est le marqueur du dérèglement climatique par ses manques mais aussi ses excès. Les révisions, au plan national et dans les bassins, des plans d’adaptation au changement climatique impacteront les modalités du dialogue à venir. L’eau a été portée en haut de l’agenda politique ! Des assises de l’eau au Varenne agricole de l’eau et du changement climatique, les sujets des économies d’eau, du partage de l’eau entre les différents usages, de la qualité de l’eau et des milieux aquatiques et enfin de la biodiversité ont été posés. De la difficulté de se parler. Malgré la mission du préfet Pierre-Étienne Bisch et les recherches de méthode pour l’élaboration des projets de territoire pour la gestion de l’eau, les dissensus persistent. La question se pose de savoir comment retrouver demain les voies de la concertation. L’apport de la science est indispensable. La responsabilité politique et publique impose de retrouver les voies et moyens d’un dialogue renoué entre tous les acteurs.
L’action des instances de bassin, l’exemple du bassin Rhône-Méditerranée
Authors: Roy Laurent
Published: November 2023

Depuis près de soixante ans, la politique de l’eau en France est définie et mise en œuvre sous l’égide de comités de bassin, avec l’appui d’agences de l’eau. Ces institutions de bassin se sont mobilisées pour faire face au défi de l’adaptation au changement climatique dans le domaine de l’eau, grâce notamment à des plans de bassin d’adaptation au changement climatique. Dans le bassin Rhône-Méditerranée, 65 plans de gestion de la ressource en eau associant toutes les parties prenantes ont permis d’impulser des dynamiques de partage de la ressource en eau dans le respect du bon fonctionnement des milieux aquatiques. Les premiers résultats sont encourageants mais face à l’accélération perceptible des effets du changement climatique, il faut agir plus vite et plus fort. Ce sera un enjeu essentiel des prochains programmes des agences de l’eau, en déclinaison du plan eau annoncé en mars 2023.
Les collectivités et leurs groupements au cœur de l’adaptation de la gestion quantitative et qualitative de l’eau au changement climatique
Authors: Bellier Mélissa , Taisne Régis
Published: November 2023

« L’eau c’est la vie », car l’eau est nécessaire à l’homme, à l’environnement, à la société. Le changement climatique perturbe le grand cycle de l’eau, déclenchant des phénomènes extrêmes de plus en plus nombreux (notamment sécheresses et inondations), et impacte le petit cycle de l’eau, celui de « l’eau humaine ». En France, ce sont les collectivités locales qui sont responsables de la gestion de l’eau : alimentation en eau potable, dépollution des eaux usées, gestion des eaux pluviales, gestion des milieux aquatiques et prévention des inondations. La plupart de leurs autres compétences sont également en lien avec l’eau : aménagement du territoire, tourisme, développement économique, action sociale… Au cœur des enjeux de l’eau, ce sont donc des acteurs incontournables pour porter une démarche de concertation locale et une ambition de décloisonnement des actions menées sur le territoire, qui doivent désormais intégrer les enjeux du changement climatique, de la protection de la ressource en eau et de la biodiversité, de la sobriété des usages… Pour garantir la qualité de l’eau et sa disponibilité pour les usages essentiels (y compris pour les milieux naturels), une prise de conscience, une concertation et un engagement de tous est nécessaire. Il faudra également donner aux acteurs les moyens d’agir, alors que la baisse des consommations fragilise le modèle économique de toute la filière.
De la coopérative agricole aux activités semencières et agroalimentaires : Limagrain, au cœur de l’enjeu de l’eau
Authors: Vidal Sébastien
Published: November 2023

Entre épisodes de sécheresse et excès de précipitations, la gestion de la ressource en eau devient stratégique et prioritaire pour nos sociétés. Essentielle au développement des plantes, l’eau est la ressource première de l’agriculture et des filières de transformation agricole. L’enjeu dépasse le simple argument économique : pour nourrir les femmes et les hommes, pour garantir la souveraineté alimentaire des pays, l’eau est indispensable. Limagrain, coopérative agricole implantée dans le Puy-de-Dôme (63), quatrième semencier mondial et groupe agroalimentaire, prend pleinement la mesure de ce défi collectif et propose des solutions concrètes et complémentaires permettant à la fois d’économiser et d’accroître la ressource en eau. Engagé pour une agriculture durable et résiliente, Limagrain est convaincu que la gestion de l’eau doit être abordée dans une approche multiusage, globale et adaptée à la situation de chaque territoire.
L’eau liquide, molécule-clé pour le vivant
Authors: Bœuf Gilles
Published: November 2023

L’eau est réellement la molécule clé pour le vivant ; tous les êtres vivants en sont constitués de quelques pourcents pour une graine à plus de 98 % pour une méduse ! C’est parce que les conditions étaient réunies sur la Terre pour la conserver liquide que la vie a pu s’y développer. Sous forme de glace aux pôles et en altitude, de vapeur d’eau au-dessus de l’océan et des rivières et lacs sur les continents, cette eau est le solvant universel. Cette eau dissout des sels qui, sous formes d’électrolytes, développent une pression osmotique (mOsm.l -1 ) et l’ensemble joue un rôle déterminant dans la régulation de l’équilibre hydrominéral de tous les êtres vivants. Les perturbations climatiques actuelles (dont la température et les précipitations) créent des conditions complexes qui obligent la biodiversité et les activités humaines à répondre dans un temps de plus en plus court. Et pour s’adapter, et le vivant a toujours su le faire, il faut du temps et surtout accepter de changer constamment, ce que l’humanité a bien du mal à faire !
Behavioral learning equilibria in New Keynesian models
Authors: Hommes Cars , Mavromatis Kostas , Özden Tolga , Zhu Mei
Published: November 2023

We introduce Behavioral Learning Equilibria (BLE) into a multivariate linear framework and apply it to New Keynesian DSGE models. In a BLE, boundedly rational agents use simple, but optimal AR(1) forecasting rules whose parameters are consistent with the observed sample mean and autocorrelation of past data. We study the BLE concept in a standard 3‐equation New Keynesian model and develop an estimation methodology for the canonical Smets and Wouters (2007) model. A horse race between Rational Expectations (REE), BLE, and constant gain learning models shows that the BLE model outperforms the REE benchmark and is competitive with constant gain learning models in terms of in‐sample and out‐of‐sample fitness. Sample‐autocorrelation learning of optimal AR(1) beliefs provides the best fit when short‐term survey data on inflation expectations are taken into account in the estimation. As a policy application, we show that optimal Taylor rules under AR(1) expectations inherit history dependence and require a lower degrees of interest rate smoothing than REE.
Tax‐and‐transfer progressivity and business cycles
Authors: Jang Youngsoo , Sunakawa Takeki , Yum Minchul
Published: November 2023

This paper studies how tax‐and‐transfer progressivity influences aggregate fluctuations when interacting with household heterogeneity. Using a simple static model of the extensive margin labor supply, we analytically characterize how a degree of progressivity influences differential labor supply responses to aggregate conditions across heterogeneous households. We then build a quantitative dynamic general equilibrium model with both idiosyncratic and aggregate productivity shocks and show that it delivers moderately procyclical average labor productivity and a large cyclical volatility of aggregate hours relative to output. Our quantitative exercises suggest that progressivity at the bottom of the income distribution shaped by the phasing out of transfers is key for these findings. Finally, we provide suggestive empirical evidence on the heterogeneity of employment responses across the wage distribution.
Generalized compensation principle
Authors: Schulz Karl , Tsyvinski Aleh , Werquin Nicolas
Published: November 2023

Economic disruptions generally create winners and losers. The compensation problem consists of designing a reform of the existing income tax system that offsets the welfare losses of the latter by redistributing the gains of the former. We derive a formula for the compensating tax reform and its impact on the government budget when only distortionary tax instruments are available and wages are determined endogenously in general equilibrium. We apply this result to the compensation of robotization in the United States.
Stability in repeated matching markets
Authors: Liu Ce
Published: November 2023

This paper develops a framework for studying repeated matching markets. The model departs from the Gale–Shapley matching model by having a fixed set of long‐lived players (firms) match with a new generation of short‐lived players (workers) in every period. I define history‐dependent and self‐enforcing matching processes in this repeated matching environment and characterize the firms' payoffs. Firms fall into one of two categories: some firms must obtain the same payoff as they would in static stable matchings, and this holds at every patience level; meanwhile, repetition and history dependence can enlarge the set of sustainable payoffs for the other firms, provided that the firms are sufficiently patient. In large matching markets with correlated preferences, the first kind of firms corresponds to “elite” firms that make up at most a vanishingly small fraction of the market. The vast majority of firms fall into the second category.
Entre non-dit et (ce qui reste) à dire. Equí y n’otru tiempu (Ramón Lluis Bande, 2014) et le double travail des images et de la mémoire
Authors: Carballo Olga Lobo
Published: November 2023

Le film Equí y n’otru tiempu (Ramón Lluis Bande, 2014), auquel cet article est consacré, investit l’interstice entre un « non-dit » et un « ce qui reste à dire », dans une démarche de basculement d’un indicible, c’est-à-dire de ce qui ne peut pas être dit car évincé tant de la mémoire sociale qu’institutionnelle du récit démocratique espagnol : l’honneur des vaincus. S’inscrivant ainsi dans la récupération de la mémoire de la lutte antifranquiste, Ramón Lluis Bande se place parmi les cinéastes du cinéma documentaire espagnol cherchant en effet à rendre avec obstination l’honneur « perdu » aux guerrilleros, qui, appelés les « bandoleros » ou les « fugaos » (ceux qui ont fui) par les forces répressives, sont restés le plus souvent dans l’imaginaire collectif associés à cette image de bandit effrayant, très loin donc de celle du résistant antifasciste français luttant contre l’occupant. L’analyse du film nous permettra d’interroger le double travail des images et de la mémoire afin d’étudier le documentaire depuis la contemporanéité et performativité de son dispositif filmique.
The Impact of Learner Content and User Interface Design on E-Learning Quality

Published: November 2023

The purpose of the study reported on in this chapter is to investigate the impact of learner content and user interface design on improving e-learning quality and to harness the full potential of e-learning in Ghana at the basic school level. Against the background of cases on economics education and tools for educators, the main focus will be on the effective use of technologies, such as social media, movies, and TV shows, as well as, for example, music, team-based learning, think-pair-share, and other forms of active learning and computer-based learning in the classroom.
Pilgrimages and the Sacred Way
Authors: Rodrigues Luís Maia
Published: November 2023

The chapter talks about the author's experience as a pilgrim. From 1973 until 2018, he was a pilgrim to Our Lady of Fátima, mapped and walked a centuries-old route to Our Lady of Lapa and was a frequent pilgrim to Santiago de Compostela. In the meantime, in the spirit of the pilgrimage to Santiago, he also became a volunteer, supporting pilgrims in hostels since 2016. In 2019, a serious illness led him to fear that his pilgrimages had come to an end. The fight against fears, uncertainties about the future, but also the solidarity of many friends and, perhaps unexpectedly, of those who have walked the same roads with him.
Paulinus of Nola and the Pilgrimage to Saint Felix Tomb in Late Antiquity
Authors: Arguelles Alvarez Patricia Ana , Augusto Diego Piay
Published: November 2023

This study will tackle with the figure of Paulinus of Nola, a Roman senator, and an important figure too during Late Antiquity, for his religious conversion during the primitive Christianity. Through a biographical study the authors delve into this character and his gradual inclusion in the early Church, becoming bishop of Nola. Paulinus was closely linked to the martyr and the saint Felix (3rd century). That is why Paulinus will be the patron of a primitive pilgrimage to the tomb of Felix, introducing patronage for the demands of the pilgrims traveling to Nola, as the repair of the road, the creation of shelters, purchase of offerings, etc.
Evaluation of the First Seven Churches as Holy Pilgrimage Centers Within the Scope of Faith Tourism
Authors: Tokgöz Leyla , İskender Ali
Published: November 2023

Document analysis was used as qualitative research methods while preparing this book chapter. For this purpose, verses related to the seven churches in the Bible have been included in the study. The fact that the seven churches mentioned in the Bible are located in Turkey has made this place a very important position in terms of faith tourism. In the book chapter, faith tourism is first mentioned. Later, the concept of pilgrimage was mentioned in Christianity and the importance of Anatolia from the point of view of Christianity was explained. Examples of tours about the seven churches are also included in the study. Later, it was discussed what should be taken into account when evaluating the seven churches within the scope of faith tourism.
Pilgrimage Itineraries Dimensions With Focus on Kumbh Mela 2019, Prayagraj, India
Authors: Kanaujiya Ashok Kumar , Tiwari Vineet
Published: November 2023

Mass gatherings are events which can be spontaneous, planned sporting events or religious pilgrimages that attract people from all over the world. Kumbh Mela is the biggest divine and devout assembly on the earth. This chapter provides a holistic approach to pilgrimage itineraries dimensions which include crowd control on pilgrimage routes, pilgrimage experience, advantages, economic dimensions and safety and security of pilgrims etc. It highlights how the better transport facility, hospitality management, infrastructural development, world class amenities, proper planning and management etc. changes the pilgrims experience. The objective is to create mass gathering events free from occurrences. Although this chapter has attempted to cover various aspects of pilgrimage itineraries, still there are many other approaches that can be explored further. Hosting almost millions of pilgrims in the riverbed during Kumbh Mela is important not only for India but also for bringing together scientific forces at the international level for policy making.
Pilgrimage to the “Vi” Center of Bulverket's Water Square
Authors: Doxtater Dennis
Published: November 2023

At the cusp of Norse – Christian landscape transformation and pilgrimage, one investigates a technical ability to survey across land and ice. Two existing large bisects (Norse “vis”) with vertexes at significant natural or prehistoric features, statistically compare with the likelihood of identical geometry created by random points. The Bulverket platform in Tingstäde Trask and stone church on shore create vi centered points to map three-point alignments with churches. Alignments from the Bulverket are separately tested against random phenomena statistically proving accurate, surveyed lines of churches. Thus, land surveyed azimuths to either of the vi centers or points in their systems might create the varied orientations of these churches, ranging from 14° north to 18° south of due east. At each church, pairs or triads of azimuths from other lat/long points create squares or parallelograms whose diagonals mathematically lie within one degree of church orientations. Geometric determination of church orientation may have begun with the sacred Bulverket platform square in 1130.
