Social Models, Growth and the International Monetary System: Implications for Europe and the United States
Creators: name: Costabile, Lilia
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: This paper explores the relationship between economic growth and the welfare state. We argue that:
(i) the institutional constraints set by the international monetary system may be at least as effective
determinants of growth differentials between countries as the different dimensions of their welfare
states. We show how this international system may impose an asymmetric discipline/flexibility mix
on the macreoconomic policies of different countries, thereby influencing their growth
performance.; (ii) the European currency reshapes some of the pre-existing constraints and also
open up new opportunities; (iii) in the new international setting, Europe is facing a choice between
alternative models. In one alternative, the “welfare system” needs to be reduced to a minimum; in
the second, its role should be enhanced and made more active, through an appropriate mix of
welfare policies oriented towards the promotion of social well-being and policies oriented towards
the promotion of productive capacities.

This paper explores the relationship between economic growth and the welfare state. We argue that: Postcommunist Mortality Crisis
Creators: name: King, Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: During the transition to capitalism, the postcommunist countries have experienced unprecedented mortality crises, although there has been considerable variation within — and between — countries and regions. Much of this variation remains unexplained, although alcohol and psychological stress have been found to be major causes of declining life expectancy. We move beyond this finding by showing that the implementation of neoliberal-inspired rapid large-scale privatization programs (mass privatization) was a major determinant of the decline in life expectancy. We find that mass privatization also increased alcohol-related deaths, heart disease, and suicide rates, strong evidence that mass privatization created psychosocial stress that directly resulted in higher mortality. We also find that mass privatization modestly contributed to a decline in the number of physicians, dentists, and hospital beds per capita; however, we find only very weak evidence that this reduction in health resources directly contributed to the mortality crisis itself. By using “control function” and instrumental variable approaches to account for the potential endogeneity of mass privatization, we also demonstrate that the choice of mass privatization as a property-reform strategy was not economically determined, but was rather caused by ethnic politics and the mimicking of policies adopted by powerful neighboring countries.

Accounting for Inequality: A Proposed Revision of the Human Development Index
Creators: name: Stanton, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: The Human Development Index (HDI) is a country-level measure of social welfare based on national values for average life expectancy, rates of adult literacy and school enrollment, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Since HDI is based entirely on national averages it can provide only limited information about distribution within countries. The distribution of access to key resources is an important determinant of the effect of health, education and income on both individual well-being and on the aggregate well-being of a population as a whole. This paper makes a case for the importance of inequality to measuring social welfare; presents an original alternative to HDI that includes the distribution of health, education, and income in each country; and reports the results of this inequality-adjusted HDI for 46 countries.

description: Using spiroarteriocardiorhythmography surveyed 174 qualified athletes (121 male and 53 female). The examination consisted of three consecutive two-minute registrations - spontaneous, controlled breathing 6 and 15 breaths per minute. Found that the hemodynamic change substantially when the respiratory tests in the first place, cardiac output, cardiac index, total peripheral vascular resistance and specific peripheral vascular resistance. To develop criteria for evaluation of hemodynamic changes carried percentile variance analysis of all indicators in the performance tests. Testing of the evaluation criteria for different types of hemodynamics in athletes allowed to establish that eukinetic type characteristic is the reduction in heart rate and pulse blood pressure under test with controlled breathing 6 times per minute for hypokinetic – pronounced increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse blood pressure during the breath tests 6 and 15 times per minute for hyperkinetic – reducing end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, stroke volume, in vivo performance of both tests and an increase in systemic vascular resistance during test 15 breaths per minute.

A influência do Cristianismo no conceito de casamento e de vida privada na Antiguidade Tardia
Creators: name: Dias, Paula Barata
Publisher: name: Ágora. Estudos Clássicos em Debate
Year: 2004

description: O cristianismo contribuiu para a sobrevivência e a durabilidade de uma proposta moral, social e jurídica sobre o casamento e a vida privada cujos primeiros contornos germinaram no mundo romano pagão dos primeiros séculos da nossa Era e duraram, com poucas oscilações, até aos nossos dias. Coube ao cristianismo, ao transformar-se na religião oficial do mundo romano, tornar universal um modelo de vida que o paganismo havia proposto apenas às elites romanas: o casamento de contornos jurídicos uniformes, duráveis e reconhecidos pelo Estado, a família nuclear, a continência e o celibato são aspectos que, acolhidos sem esforço pela mensagem religiosa cristã, se tornaram dominantes porque a sociedade pagã já estava receptiva às novas propostas. As cartas de S. Jerónimo são testemunho desta nova mentalidade que, ao mesmo tempo que sanciona a intervenção pública, política ou religiosa, sobre a vida privada dos indivíduos, propaga como vida perfeita a que se vive em celibato ou em continência.

Corruption and Pro-Poor Growth Outcomes: Evidence and Lessons for African Countries
Creators: name: Ndikumana, Léonce
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: There is growing consensus on the view that corruption hurts economic performance by reducing private investment, by adversely affecting the quantity and quality of public infrastructure, by reducing tax revenue, and by reducing human capital accumulation. In addition to inefficiency effects – causing lower growth for a given endowment in factors and technology –, corruption also has adverse distributional effects as it hurts the poor disproportionately. For a given level of government budget and national income, high corruption countries achieve lower literacy rates, have higher mortality rates, and overall worse human development outcomes. Corruption deepens poverty by reducing pro-poor pubic expenditures, by creating artificial shortages and congestion in public services, and by inducing a policy bias in favor of capital intensity, which perpetuates unemployment. High levels of corruption in African countries constitute one of the factors explaining not only slow growth but also limited progress in poverty reduction. Eradicating corruption in African bureaucracies is a challenging task, especially because it is a systemic phenomenon that exhibits a strong tendency for hysterisis. Therefore, explicit strategies are necessary to change the incentive structure by modifying the payoffs and sanctions that govern the interactions between bureaucrats and private economic operators. Strategies to fight corruption include measures to increase transparency in the management of public resources, establishing an incentive structure that rewards honest behavior among civil servants, enforcing transparency in international contracts and equal penalties to all parties to corrupt deals, and promotion of a free and responsible media.

Price-Based vs. Quantity-Based Environmental Regulation under Knightian Uncertainty: An Info-Gap Robust Satisficing Perspective
Creators: name: Stranlund, John K.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: Conventional wisdom among environmental economists is that the relative slopes of the marginal social benefit and marginal social cost functions determine whether a price-based or quantity-based environmental regulation leads to higher expected social welfare. We revisit the choice between price-based vs. quantity-based environmental regulation under Knightian uncertainty; that is, when uncertainty cannot be modeled with known probability distributions. Under these circumstances, the policy objective cannot be to maximize the expected net benefits of emissions control. Instead, we evaluate an emissions tax and an aggregate abatement standard in terms of maximizing the range of uncertainty under which the welfare loss from error in the estimates of the marginal benefits and costs of emissions control can be limited. The main result of our work is that the same criterion involving the relative slopes of the marginal benefit and cost functions determines whether price-based or quantity-based control is more robust to unstructured uncertainty. Hence, not only does the relative slopes criterion lead to the policy that maximizes the expected net benefits of control under structured uncertainty, it also leads to the policy that maximizes robustness to unstructured uncertainty.

Risk Aversion and Compliance in Markets for Pollution Control
Creators: name: Stranlund, John K.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2006

description: This paper examines the effects of risk aversion on compliance choices in markets for pollution control. A firm’s decision to be compliant or not is independent of its manager’s risk preference. However, noncompliant firms with risk averse managers will have lower violations than otherwise identical firms with risk neutral managers. The violations of noncompliant firms with risk averse managers are independent of differences in their benefits from emissions and their initial allocations of permits if and only if their managers’ utility functions exhibit constant absolute risk aversion. However, firm-level characteristics do impact violation choices when managers have coefficients of absolute risk aversion that are increasing or decreasing in profit levels. Finally, in the equilibrium of a market for emissions rights with widespread noncompliance, risk aversion is associated with higher permit prices, better environmental quality, and lower aggregate violations.

description: More than 60 delegates convened at the Rose Bowl in Leeds on 7 May 2010 for this event to explore the developing relationship and overlap between Open Access research repositories and so called 'CRISs' – Current Research Information Systems – that are increasingly being implemented at universities. The Welsh Repository Network (WRN) [1], a collaborative venture between the Higher Education institutions (HEIs) in Wales, funded by JISC, had clearly hit upon an engaging topic du jour. The event, jointly supported by JISC [2] and ARMA (Association of Research Managers and Administrators)[3], was fully booked within just five days of being announced. In the main, delegates were either research managers and administrators, or repository managers, and one of the themes that came up throughout the day was the need for greater communication between research offices and libraries (where repository services are often managed.) As well as JISC and ARMA, euroCRIS [4], a not-for- profit organisation that aims to be an internationally recognised point of reference for CRISs, was represented at the event. Delegates could also visit the software exhibition and speak with representatives of Atira, Symplectic Ltd and Thomson Reuters, among others.
Uprooting Diversity? Peasant Farmers’ Market Engagements and the on-Farm Conservation of Crop Genetic Resources in the Guatemalan Highlands
Creators: name: Isakson, S, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: The long-term security of the global food supply is contingent upon the on-farm conservation of crop genetic diversity. Without it, food crops lack the ability to evolve in the face of new pests, emerging plant diseases, and changing environmental conditions. The genetic diversity of many of humankind’s major food crops is cultivated in the field, primarily by peasant farmers of the Global South. As the widening of global markets affects the lives of these farmers in new ways, the future provisioning of crop genetic resources and, ultimately, the security of the global food supply is in doubt. In this paper I investigate how the participation of Guatemalan peasants in the market economy is related to the on-farm conservation of crop genetic diversity in three crops: maize, legumes, and squash. I find that participation in markets is not inherently detrimental to the provisioning of crop genetic resources but that without the proper protections in place market participation may unleash processes that contribute to genetic erosion over time. I conclude by sketching seven policy prescriptions that would encourage the on-farm conservation of crop genetic diversity in a way that is consistent with peasant farmers’ development objectives.

The Correlates of Rentier Returns in OECD Countries
Creators: name: Jayadev, Arjun
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: This paper examines the correlates of rentier returns – returns to the ownership of financial assets -- in a sample of OECD countries between 1960 and 2000. We develop a simple bargaining model among three classes – industrial capitalists, rentiers and workers – and show that rentier income returns increase when domestic and foreign real interest rates costs of capital mobility fall, and the power of labor declines. Using an unbalanced panel dataset, the paper also econometrically investigates the impacts of proxies for these variables on rentier incomes. We find that interest rate liberalization, the reduction in the unionization rate of labor, and increased returns from foreign financial investments increase rentier returns. These results provide support both for the simple model and for common Post-Keynesian and Marxian stories of the impact of financialization and neo-liberal policy changes on income shares.
Changes in Homeowners’ Financial Security during the Recent Housing and Mortgage Boom
Creators: name: Weller, Christian
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: From the late 1990s through 2005, the U.S. experienced an unprecedented housing boom,
which boosted the asset values of many families. This meant, on the one hand, that
families with homes had more collateral to borrow against, but it also meant that new
home buyers needed to take out larger mortgages to afford a home. After 2001, the U.S.
saw a sharp acceleration in the growth rate of household debt. Using data from the
Survey of Consumer Finances conducted by the Federal Reserve, which we supplement
with data from the Flow of Funds Accounts generated by the Federal Reserve, we
consider the effect of the housing and mortgage boom on the financial security of
homeowners. The data indicate that all measures of vulnerability are increasing and
suggest declining financial security for homeowners after 2000. The increases in financial
vulnerability were especially pronounced for minorities, younger families, and lower
income families.

Patterns of Adjustment under the Age of Finance: The Case of Turkey as a Peripheral Agent of Neoliberal Globalization
Creators: name: Yeldan, Erinc
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: Turkey experienced a severe economic and political crisis in November 2000 and again in February 2001.  The IMF has been involved with the macro management of the Turkish economy both prior and after the crisis, and provided financial assistance of $20.4 billions, net, between 1999 and 2003.  Following the crisis, Turkey has implemented an orthodox strategy of raising interest rates and maintaining an overvalued exchange rate. The government was forced to follow a contractionary fiscal policy towards attaining a primary surplus to the 6.5% of the GNP, and promised to satisfy the customary IMF demands: reduce subsidies to agriculture, privatize, and reduce public sector in economic activity. Contrary to the traditional stabilization packages that aimed at increasing interest rates to constrain the domestic demand, the new orthodoxy aimed at maintaining high interest rates for the purpose of attracting speculative foreign capital from the international financial markets.  The end results in the Turkish context were the shrinkage of the public sector in a speculative-led growth environment; deteriorating education and health infrastructure which necessitate increased public funds urgently; and the consequent failure to provide basic social services to the middle classes and the poor.  Furthermore, as the domestic industry intensified its import dependence, it was forced toward adaptation of increasingly capital-intensive, foreign technologies with adverse consequences on domestic employment. In the meantime the transnational companies and the international finance institutions (the socalled IFIs) have become the real governors of the country with an implicit veto power over any economic and or political decision that is likely to act against the interests of global capital.  Thereby the fragile Turkish democracy has been placed under siege by the agents of the newimperialism.

Do Surges in Less-Skilled Immigration Have Important Wage Effects? A Review of the U.S. Evidence
Creators: name: Howell, David R.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: This paper reviews a small part of a vast professional literature on the labor market effects of new immigrants. It focuses on recent studies that have employed econometric techniques to estimate wage effects of less-skilled immigrants during the two great American immigration surges (roughly 1870-1914 and 1980 to the present). This literature is fairly consistent in finding that large long-term immigrant surges have at least small negative wage effects for less-advantaged members of the labor force, and that these are likely to be largest for earlier cohorts of foreign-born workers and less-educated African-Americans in major immigrant-receiving regions. While this is consistent with the simple textbook prediction in a largely deregulated labor market, we might have expected more robust negative effects. The explanation may be that these effects are inherently difficult to isolate, especially given the quality of the data - a large share of less-skilled new immigrants are undocumented workers who are employed by individuals or small family businesses under-the-table and are either not counted or counted poorly. The paper concludes that, while all consumers and many employers (both as households and as firms) have undoubtedly benefited substantially from the surge in undocumented low-skilled workers since the early 1980s, there are also some losers, and there is consequently a need for policy interventions designed to ensure that socially acceptable wage levels, employment opportunities, and working conditions are maintained for our least advantaged workers, native- and foreign-born alike.

Unrecorded international transactions for this period amount to US$ 192 billion (in 1995 prices). The results suggest a serious problem in the government’s macroeconomic management of the Philippines, and expose a weak or weakening capacity in the governance of international transactions.

description: One of the pleasures of being a legal historian concerned with topics from the Early Modern period is the possibility to get to handle and work with historical books, often originals printed in the 16th and 17th century. Too often, we tend to concentrate exclusively on the content of a book, not taking into account the wealth of information stemming from the materiality of the book: who printed it, how it was printed, and how the materials carrying all the precious content were produced. Between the 15th and 17th century, the largest part of paper for the many book prints of Venice was produced in a small valley near Lake Garda, known until this day as the Valley of Papermills, the Valle delle Cartiere.

description: ELIXIR's Training e-Support System (TeSS) is a web-based open-source platform designed to support researchers in the life sciences community by providing access to training resources. It is a one-stop shop for trainers and trainees to discover online information and content e.g., training materials, workshops, webinars, online courses, and training events for bioinformatics, data science, and computational biology.

TeSS offers a user-friendly interface, which has recently been revamped for an improved user experience allowing them to easily discover training resources of their interest.

For training providers, TeSS aims to make it easy to make training resources FAIR. Utilising automated scrapers and open standards such as Bioschemas and EDAM, training resources can be automatically discovered and registered in TeSS from existing websites. Conversely, TeSS content can be easily embedded in other websites using a selection of HTML widgets, or through its JSON API.

Beyond ELIXIR, the TeSS software has been deployed to provide training portals for several other communities, including: Digital Research Skills Australasia (DReSA - https://dresa.org.au/), the Photon & Neutron Community (https://pan-training.eu/) and the upcoming portal for research training in the Netherlands - Taxila.

Wage Share, Globalization, and Crisis: The Case of the Manufacturing Industry in Korea, Mexico, and Turkey
Creators: name: Onaran, Özlem
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: The aim of this paper is to analyze the changes in the wage share in manufacturing
industry in Mexico, Turkey, and Korea in the era of globalization. The focus is on the
one hand over the effects of globalization on the wage share , which are measured by
the effects of international trade and FDI intensity of the economy. On the other hand,
the process of opening up has been accompanied by major currency crises in most
developing countries in the last decade, which has affected the wage share through
exchange rate depreciation and economic recession. The paper develops a Post-
Keynesian conflicting claims model for an open economy under the pressure of
globalization, and an equation for the wage share is estimated for each country using
Seemingly Unrelated Regression method. The results show that both recessions and
nominal depreciations have a clear and lasting negative effect on the manufacturing
wage share in all countries, whereas the effect of openness, in particular international
trade depends on industrial policy structure. Increased export intensity leads to a
decline the manufacturing wage share in Turkey and Mexico, but no significant effect
in Korea. The positive expectations from FDI are also not materialized in any of the
three countries.

Gender, Distribution, and Balance of Payments Constrained Growth in Developing Countries
Creators: name: Seguino, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: An unresolved debate in the development literature concerns the impact of gender inequality on economic growth. Previous studies have found that the effect varies, depending on the measure of inequality (wages or capabilities). This paper expands that discussion by considering both the short- and long-run, evaluating the effects of gender equality in two types of economies—semi-industrialized economies (SIEs) and low-income agricultural economies (LIAEs). Further, it incorporates the effect of gender equity on the balance of payments constraint to growth. These preliminary results suggest that gender equality is more likely to stimulate growth in LIAEs than in SIEs in both the short- and long-run.

If Financial Market Competition is so Intense, Why are Financial Firm Profits so High? Reflections on the Current ‘Golden Age’ of Finance
Creators: name: Crotty, James
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2007

description: In 1997 former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volker posed a question about the commercial banking system he said he could not answer. The industry was under more intense competitive pressure than at any time in living memory, Volcker noted, “yet at the same time the industry never has been so profitable.” I refer to the seemingly strange coexistence of intense competition and historically high profit rates in commercial banking as Volcker’s Paradox. In this paper I extend the paradox to all important financial institutions and discuss four developments that together help resolve it. They are: rapid growth in the demand for financial products and services in the past quarter century; rising concentration in most major financial industries that makes what Schumpeter called “corespective” competition and the exercise of market power possible (thus raising the possibility that competition is not universally as intense as Volcker assumed); increased risk-taking among all the major financial market actors that has raised average profit rates; and rapid financial innovation in over-the-counter derivatives that allows giant banks to create and trade complex products with high profit margins. The last section of the paper discusses the role of moral hazard in today’s financial markets. Has the conventional belief that financial investment strategies formerly considered too risky to adopt have been made safe (and profitable) by modern risk-management techniques increased the likelihood of a future systemic financial crisis?
