Legal ethics and illegal migrants : the bounds of ethical conduct for lawyers helping 'illegals' become 'legal'
Creators: name: Stynes, Sean Patrick Cleary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigates the bounds of ethical conduct for immigration lawyers helping illegal migrants regularize their status in Canada. The field of legal ethics and the phenomenon of illegal migration are independently fascinating areas of inquiry, yet both topics remain largely understudied in Canadian legal scholarship. This paper aims to provide some ethical guidance for immigration lawyers representing illegal migrants in Canada and to offer new insights into how we understand and conceptualize both legal ethics and illegal migration. The thesis focuses around a hypothetical situation involving a family of 'failed refugees' facing imminent deportation but awaiting a decision on an outstanding permanent residence application based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. This thesis asks whether it is ethical for a lawyer - even in the most sympathetic of cases - to advise clients not to appear for their removal. This is the kind of question prominent legal ethics scholar, David Luban so eloquently captures with the question, 'can the good lawyer be a bad person?' Tackling this central question requires an understanding of the phenomenon of illegal migration as well as the field of legal ethics. In terms of illegal migration, this thesis seeks to deconstruct the concept of illegal migration and offer new insights into the so called 'problem' in Canada. This thesis reports the results of a series of Access to Information requests filed by the author offering great insight into the extent and kinds of illegal migration in Canada. With respect to legal ethics, this thesis questions their very nature of the discipline. Are legal ethics to be understood as legal, as in the 'law of lawyers' with rules and codes backed by punishment? Or should legal ethics be understood as ethics, requiring an 'all things considered' approach free from threat of coercive state punishment. I argue that the answer to the central question of the thesis, depends on how we understand legal ethics. This thesis proposes an approach to legal ethics that is halfway between law and ethics, consistent with William Simon's 'contextual view' of legal ethics, where the bounds of ethical conduct are defined by the underlying merits of the case and allow for 'ethical discretion in lawyering'.

description: Given a smooth free action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on a smooth compact manifold $M$, we show that the space of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $M$ whose automorphism group is precisely $G$ is open dense in the space of all $G$-invariant metrics, provided the dimension of $M$ is "sufficiently large" compared to that of $G$. As a consequence, it follows that every compact connected Lie group can be realized as the automorphism group of some compact connected Riemannian manifold; this recovers prior work by Bedford-Dadok and Saerens-Zame under less stringent dimension conditions. Along the way we also show, under less restrictive conditions on both dimensions and actions, that the space of $G$-invariant metrics whose automorphism groups preserve the $G$-orbits is dense $G_δ$ in the space of all $G$-invariant metrics.

description: Estimating a continuous density function from a finite set of data points is an important tool in many scientific disciplines. Popular nonparametric density estimators include histograms and kernel density methods. These methods require the researcher to control the degree of smoothing inherent in an estimated function. In a recent approach, a new method for nonparametric density estimation was proposed that finds the estimate self-consistently, that is without requiring the researcher to choose a smoothing parameter a priori. In this article, we outline the basic ideas of the self-consistent density estimator, and we present a Stata implementation of the method. In addition, we present results of Monte Carlo simulations that show that the self-consistent estimator performs better than other methods, especially for larger data samples.
Imported inflation and monetary policy

description: The present paper examines the thesis that monetary policy cannot be used as a weapon against domestic inflation in a surplus country under a regime of fixed exchange rates. The conditions under which the effective execution of domestic monetary policy is hampered by a balance-of-payments surplus are thus examined. The authors restrict their analysis to the case of a European country that is subjected to inflationary pressures because of a capital inflow from the United States. Two kinds of constraints are alleged to hinder the use of monetary policy, internal and external, both of which are considered in turn. The authors find that under certain conditions neither internal nor external constraints vitiate effective monetary action. Moreover, it is argued that the freedom of capital movements in a fixed exchange rate system necessarily eliminates the possibility of connecting national monetary policies. JEL: E31, E42, E52, F32

description: Deep neural networks are usually trained in the space of the nodes, by adjusting the weights of existing links via suitable optimization protocols. We here propose a radically new approach which anchors the learning process to reciprocal space. Specifically, the training acts on the spectral domain and seeks to modify the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of transfer operators in direct space. The proposed method is ductile and can be tailored to return either linear or non-linear classifiers. Adjusting the eigenvalues, when freezing the eigenvectors entries, yields performances which are superior to those attained with standard methods {\it restricted} to a operate with an identical number of free parameters. Tuning the eigenvalues correspond in fact to performing a global training of the neural network, a procedure which promotes (resp. inhibits) collective modes on which an effective information processing relies. This is at variance with the usual approach to learning which implements instead a local modulation of the weights associated to pairwise links. Interestingly, spectral learning limited to the eigenvalues returns a distribution of the predicted weights which is close to that obtained when training the neural network in direct space, with no restrictions on the parameters to be tuned. Based on the above, it is surmised that spectral learning bound to the eigenvalues could be also employed for pre-training of deep neural networks, in conjunction with conventional machine-learning schemes. Changing the eigenvectors to a different non-orthogonal basis alters the topology of the network in direct space and thus allows to export the spectral learning strategy to other frameworks, as e.g. reservoir computing.

description: This article develops a method for implementing a simulated multivariate random-effects probit model for unbalanced panels (with gaps) and illustrates the model by using artificial data. Halton draws generated by mdraws are used to simulate multivariate normal probabilities with the mvnp() egen function. The estimator can be easily adjusted, for example, to allow for autocorrelated errors. The advantages of this simulated estimation, when compared with existing commands such as redpace, are high accuracy and improved stability.

description: Aquatic invasive species (AIS) cause significant ecological and economic damages around the world. A major spread mechanism for AIS is traffic of boaters transporting their watercraft from invaded to uninvaded waterbodies. To inhibit the spread of AIS, several Canadian provinces and American states set up watercraft inspection stations at roadsides, where potentially infested boats are screened for AIS and, if necessary, decontaminated. However, since budgets for AIS control are limited, watercraft inspection stations can only be operated at specific locations and daytimes. Though theoretical studies provide managers with general guidelines for AIS management, more specific results are needed to determine when and where watercraft inspections would be most effective. This is the subject of this paper. We show how linear integer programming techniques can be used to optimize watercraft inspection policies under budget constraints. We introduce our approach as a general framework and apply it to the prevention of the spread of zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissena spp.) to the Canadian province British Columbia. We consider a variety of scenarios and show how variations in budget constraints, propagule sources, and model uncertainty affect the optimal policy. Based on these results, we identify simple, generally applicable principles for optimal AIS management.

description: We present new Stata commands for estimating several regression models suitable for analyzing overdispersed count outcomes. The nbregp command nests the dispersion(constant) and dispersion(mean) versions of Stata’s nbreg command in a model for negative binomial(p) regression. The zignbreg command extends Stata’s gnbreg command for zero inflation, and the zinbregp command fits a negative binomial(p) regression model with zero inflation. The new commands for zero-inflated models allow specification of links within the glm command’s collection for the Bernoulli model of zero inflation. These commands will optionally calculate a Vuong test, which compares the zero-inflated model with the nonzeroinflated model.

description: There appears to be a rather wide agreement among Italian economists, in and out of the Government, on the causes of Italy’s balance of payments crisis and of the recession that began in 1964. This explanation, originally put forward by the Bank of Italy, though rather unsatisfactory, has been uncritically accepted or at least has not been challenged in any systematic way. The present paper assesses the validity of this explanation and proposes an alternative one. For the sake of simplicity the authors keep separate the case of an open economy from that of a closed one. The Bank of Italy’s model is first formalised before its basic shortcomings are demonstrated. The authors then present the alternative model they propose. The nature of the Italian inflation and the determinants of wage movements are then discussed. The authors then consider the case of an open economy before provided a formal treatment of the problems raised. JEL: E31, E52, F31, F34

description: A Thouless pump can be regarded as a dynamical version of the integer quantum Hall effect. In a finite-size configuration, such topological pump displays edge modes that emerge dynamically from one bulk-band and dive into the opposite bulk-band, an effect that can be reproduced with both quantum and classical systems. Here, we report the first un-assisted dynamic energy transfer across a metamaterial, via pumping of such topological edge modes. The system is a topological aperiodic acoustic crystal, with a phason that can be fast and periodically driven in adiabatic cycles. When one edge of the metamaterial is excited in a topological forbidden range of frequencies, a microphone placed at the other edge starts to pick up a signal as soon as the pumping process is set in motion. In contrast, the microphone picks no signal when the forbidden range of frequencies is non-topological.

The betabin command fits binomial regression models allowing for beta overdispersion, and the zibbin command fits a beta-binomial regression model with zero inflation. All the new commands allow the specification of links within the glm command’s collection for both outcome and zero inflation. The zero-inflated commands optionally calculate a Vuong test comparing the zero-inflated model with the nonzero-inflated model, and the zibbin command optionally includes a likelihood-ratio test of the overdispersion parameter.

description: In practice, parametric likelihood-ratio techniques are powerful statistical tools. In this article, we propose and examine novel and simple distribution-free test statistics that efficiently approximate parametric likelihood ratios to analyze and compare distributions of K groups of observations. Using the density-based empirical likelihood methodology, we develop a Stata package that applies to a test for symmetry of data distributions and compares K-sample distributions. Recognizing that recent statistical software packages do not sufficiently address K-sample nonparametric comparisons of data distributions, we propose a new Stata command, vxdbel, to execute exact density-based empirical likelihood-ratio tests using K samples. To calculate p-values of the proposed tests, we use the following methods: 1) a classical technique based on Monte Carlo p-value evaluations; 2) an interpolation technique based on tabulated critical values; and 3) a new hybrid technique that combines methods 1 and 2. The third, cutting-edge method is shown to be very efficient in the context of exact-test p-value computations. This Bayesian-type method considers tabulated critical values as prior information and Monte Carlo generations of test statistic values as data used to depict the likelihood function. In this case, a nonparametric Bayesian method is proposed to compute critical values of exact tests.

description: The Projection Postulate from Standard Quantum Mechanics relies fundamentally on measurements. But measurements implicitly suggest the existence of anthropocentric notions like measuring devices, which should rather emerge from the theory. This article proposes an alternative formulation of the Standard Quantum Mechanics, in which the Projection Postulate is replaced with a version in which measurements and observations are not assumed as fundamental. More precisely, the Wigner functions representing the quantum states on the phase space are required to be tightly constrained to regions of the classical coarse-graining of the phase space. This ensures that states are quasiclassical at the macro level. Within a coarse-graining region, the time evolution of the Wigner functions representing the quantum system is required to obey the Liouville-von Neumann equation, the phase-space equivalent of the Schrödinger equation. The projection is postulated to happen when the system transitions from a coarse-graining region to others, by selecting one of them according to the Born rule, but without reference to a measurements. The connection with the standard formulation of Quantum Mechanics is explained, as well as the problems that the present formulation solves, in particular the Wigner's friend type of paradoxes. Experimental consequences and open problems of the proposed formulation are discussed.

description: Sustainability management often requires voluntary initiatives beyond legal regulations. Hereby, multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) gain importance. Despite the actual high occurrence of these initiatives, little information concerning the stakeholders’ negotiation behaviour in MSIs exists. In this paper, we analyse a MSI related to the implementation of a sustainability-oriented standard for pasture-raised milk in Germany using participatory research. The results indicate that from an economic point of view not all stakeholders behave in a predictable way. Contrary to the assumption, one dairy involved in the MSI following a cost leadership strategy, pled for a high standard, as did the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved. Because this dairy was unable to fulfil this high standard, this behaviour can be interpreted as a ‘prevention strategyʼ. It can be concluded that the classical assumption of stakeholder behaviour – such as tit-for-tat negotiations between the economic side and NGOs – must be reviewed, revealing strategies of hidden intention.

description: The EEC sales tax harmonisation guidelines suggest for the whole Common Market area should be covered by an entirely harmonised value added tax, to be levied by each member country on the tax basis originating in its territory at the same rates and with the same exemptions and assessment procedures. The present article argues that even if politically attractive from the “free movement” point of view, the EEC sales tax harmonisation scheme, in its apparent simplicity, is open to criticism on economic grounds. The author first briefly outlines the present sales tax situation in Western Europe. An analysis of the main criticisms of the EEC sales tax scheme, the most important of which relating to fiscal policy considerations, is then provided. Finally, the author proposes an alternative scheme with greater flexibility which retains similar political merits but is economically less crude and less objectionable. JEL: E62, F15, F36, H21

Preferential schemes: a reappraisal

Subjects: subject: Developing countries, resources, preferential tariffs, aid, trade
subject: F13, F35, O19

description: The present paper elaborates further on a previous work by the author in which attention was directed to the lack of progress in the flow of resources to developing countries in the 1960s and the urgent need for a significant increase. Attention is concentrated on one of the key demands by the developing countries: namely, the granting of preferential tariffs on manufactures and semi-manufactures by the developed countries to the developing countries. It is shown that the lack of major progress in this area may be traced to the intellectual foundation of the preferential schemes and the way in which the preference issue has been debated by proponents and opponents alike. The author argues that the basic conflict between the two proposed approaches can be greatly lessened by advancing the aid argument rather than the infant industry argument. Moreover, if this issue is to move from the debating stage to the negotiating stage, the arguments have to be reappraised and the schemes have to be redesigned. JEL: F13, F35, O19

description: The first Report of the Deputies of the Group of Ten and the parallel Report of the IMF from 1964 reached unanimous consensus on the basic deficiencies of the international monetary system and the general nature of the revolutionary reforms required for its satisfactory performance in the future. The three years that have elapsed since then have unfortunately failed to elicit any similar agreement on the concrete measures and commitments needed to implement the broad recommendations of the two reports. The present paper first summarises the already familiar considerations regarding the impact the existence of three types of reserve assets upon the growth of world reserves. It is then largely devoted to its equally important, but less generally perceived and understood, impact on the balance of payments adjustment process. In the concluding section the author offers answers to broader policy issues. JEL: E42, F31, F33

description: The dispersion relation of an elastic 4-point amplitude in the forward direction leads to a sum rule that connects the low energy amplitude to the high energy observables. We perform a classification of these sum rules based on massless helicity amplitudes. With this classification, we are able to systematically write down the sum rules for the dimension-6 operators of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), some of which are absent in previous literatures. These sum rules offer distinct insights on the relations between the operator coefficients in the EFT and the properties of the full theory that generates them. Their applicability goes beyond tree level, and in some cases can be used as a practical method of computing the one loop contributions to low energy observables. They also provide an interesting perspective for understanding the custodial symmetries of the SM Higgs and fermion sectors.

Arbitration in WTO disputes : the forgotten alternative
Creators: name: Jacyk, David William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The creation of a binding adjudication system under the Dispute Settlement Understanding ("DSU") is one of the major successes of the WTO. However, while the Dispute Settlement Body ("DSB") has experienced a high level of compliance with its rulings, there have been enough failures to raise concerns about compliance with WTO rulings. This in turn endangers the long term viability and legitimacy of the WTO as a decision-making body. This thesis explores the possibility of more effective integration of arbitration as a means of dealing with a small number of problematic cases where compliance with a ruling is doubtful. It considers arbitration as an alternative to what has effectively become an institutionalized litigation system involving panels and the Appellate Body, and as an adjunct to the diplomatic resolution of disputes, particularly for policy driven cases where compliance with WTO rulings is more doubtful. While proposals for the use of arbitration made during the Uruguay Round of negotiations leading to the creation o f the WTO have been realized in the provisions of the DSU, arbitration has never been effectively tested as a true alternative. Further, arbitration as an alternative to the litigation system has been almost entirely ignored in the context of the current debate over reform of the WTO dispute settlement system. After over a decade of WTO decision making, it is now an opportune point to consider meaningful institutional reform that more fully incorporates arbitration as an alternative form of dispute settlement at the WTO in politically difficult cases, and that builds on the existing but underused arbitration provision in Article 25 of the DSU. This thesis challenges the predominant bias towards the litigation system involving panels and the Appellate Body as a one-size-fits-all solution. It explores the potential role of arbitration, in the context of compliance theories, a historical review of the negotiations during the Uruguay Round, and an analysis of the shortcomings of the current DSU that contribute to the problems of non-compliance.
Credit facilities or reserve allotments?
Creators: name: MACHLUP, F.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: International liquidity, credit facilities, reserve units, allotments, growth
subject: F33, F34

description: In the international discussions on a contingency plan for the creation of “international liquidity”, the most controversial question has been whether extension of credit facilities or deliberate creation and distribution of reserve units would be the better solution. While some of the experts are indifferent, others are zealous partisans of one of the proposed alternatives. However, most seem willing to accept the proposal which is likely to gain unanimous consent. What is more, changes in the official positions of the participating governments have been frequent and drastic. The present article provides a detailed analysis of the debate of credit facilities vs reserve allotments, highlighting the key related issues. It is argued that the best performance with regard to non-discrimination - the credit facilities approach - would be associated with the worst performance regarding permanence in the existence of monetary reserves, required for a steady growth in world trade and production.

Multiple switching behavior in different display formats of multiple price lists
A common approach to elicit risk attitude is the multiple price list with a series of binary choices. However, a frequently observed problem when using multiple price lists is that participants switch more than once from the safer to the riskier option, thus exhibiting multiple switching behavior. The present study analyzes whether the visualization of different multiple price lists reduce multiple switching behavior. Therefore, we conduct two types of multiple price lists in two different display formats. Participants are randomly assigned into a textual or a visual group and carry out both multiple price lists in the corresponding display format. Our results reveal that different types of multiple price lists lead to differences in the extent of multiple switching behavior. Moreover, we show that the visualization of a multiple price list can be an instrument to greatly reduce multiple switching behavior.

subject: WTP space

description: In order to achieve an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy supply, it is necessary that this goal is supported by society. In different countries worldwide it has been shown that one way consumers want to support the energy transition is by purchasing green electricity. However, few people make the leap from their intention to a buying decision. This study explores parameters that influence whether German consumers decide to switch to a green electricity tariff. We conducted a quota-representative online survey including a discrete choice experiment with 371 private households in Germany in 2016. For the econometric analysis, a generalized multinomial logit model in willingness to pay (WTP) space was employed, enabling the estimation of WTP values to be as realistic as possible. The results show that consumers’ decision regarding whether or not to make the switch to green energy is influenced by many underlying drivers, such as the source of green energy, whether a person can outsource the switching process, and a person’s attitude towards the renewable energy sources levy that currently exists in Germany. Implications for policy makers and recommendations for the marketing of green energy tariffs are provided.
International monetary reform and the less developed countries
Creators: name: STREETEN, P.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: International monetary reform, less developed countries, liquidity, reserve creation, aid
subject: F33, F34

description: The present article discusses the implications of international monetary reform for the development of the less developed countries (LDCs). The author first considers liquidity and the proposal for a “link” between monetary reform and the provision of development finance. Monetary reform, and in particular the provision of additional liquidity for countries outside the Group of Ten is then dealt with. The author then looks at the proposal that LDCs share in increases of unconditional liquidity. Finally, the proposal to forge a “link” between reserve creation and aid is considered and the benefits and disadvantages from the point of view of both LDCs and advanced countries are analysed. It is argued that this proposal offers an opportunity of giving substantial encouragement to the development of the LDCs while guaranteeing the donor countries against any ill effects on their balance of payments positions.

An Effective Field Theory for Fractional Quantum Hall Systems near $ν=5/2$

description: We propose an effective field theory (EFT) of fractional quantum Hall systems near the filling fraction $ν=5/2$ that flows to pertinent IR candidate phases, including non-abelian Pfaffian, anti-Pfaffian, and particle-hole Pfaffian states (Pf, APf, and PHPf). Our EFT has a 2+1$d$ O(2)$_{2,L}$ Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to four Majorana fermions by a discrete charge conjugation gauge field, with Gross-Neveu-Yukawa-Higgs terms. Including deformations via a Higgs condensate and fermion mass terms, we can map out a phase diagram with tunable parameters, reproducing the prediction of the recently-proposed percolation picture and its gapless topological quantum phase transitions. Our EFT captures known features of both gapless and gapped sectors of time-reversal-breaking domain walls between Pf and APf phases. Moreover, we find that Pf$\mid$APf domain walls have higher tension than domain walls in the PHPf phase. Then the former, if formed, may transition to the energetically-favored PHPf domain walls; this could, in turn, help further induce a bulk transition to PHPf.

subject: F15, F36

description: Over the past decade the European Economic Community has made incredible strides toward the realisation of the goals established by the architects of the Rome Treaty. The achievement of a customs union will occur a full year and a half in advance. In addition, progress has been made toward the achievement of economic union and considerable strides have been made toward uniform policies in the areas of transportation, labour, taxation and company organisation. Probably the most difficult area in which member countries have sought agreement is that of capital movements. The present article analyses the prospects for the integration of capital markets and the removal of restrictions on capital movements within the EEC. The author considers the implementation of Article 67, the origins of obstacles to further liberalisation, and the prospects for the third directive. JEL: F15, F36

description: Due to the increased uncertainty within the whole agribusiness industry, managerial decision- making has become a critical success factor during the last decades. Since agricultural trade firms are faced with multiple existence-threatening risks today, the present paper analyzes decision-making processes under dramatically tightened external conditions, using the exam- ple of Germany’s agricultural trade industry. By employing a qualitative research design, the empirical study examines two questions: Which determinants do impact the farm dealers’ risky decision-making, and how are these factors interacting? For clarifying these issues, guideline-based in-depth interviews with industry experts are conducted on the basis of a thorough literature review. The results, gained from a qualitative content analysis, help us to better understand how decisions in farm dealing firms are made and which forces are driving them. As especially a decision maker’s reference point plays a prominent role, the present study examines its configuration under different situational and dispositive conditions. The resulting implications provide a useful basis for further research and to a lesser extent some insights for decision makers themselves.
