description: Big reserves discoveries are decreasing or sometimes impossible, and if possible, it may never be as big as remaining oil in mature fields. This fact makes the need for considering EOR techniques to recover more oil from existing oil reservoirs in order to meet future energy demands. Making the right selection when it depends to applying EOR techniques is crucial. There are a number of different choices in this regard, including chemical methods, miscible and immiscible gas flooding, and thermal recovery methods. The correct choice of EOR strategy goes a long way toward optimizing eventual recovery, and reduces many risks. The purpose of this work is to provide a solution to select an efficient EOR process and investigate its comfort zone parameters. A database of reservoir parameters of rock and fluid properties along with different EOR techniques has been collected and analyzed. A fuzzy logic methodology is developed to automate the selection process and improve decision making. This concept clearly makes saving in time and cost, and reduce the final decision making risk. The results show that FL system can select proper EOR methods.

description:

Although readers are more likely to dwell upon particularly funny, surprising, or disturbing moments in David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, the novel contains many instances of breathtaking poeticism. A close reading of a few such lines, hidden gems that could easily be overlooked in the voluminous flow of the novel, demonstrates the array of linguistic variables that Wallace skilfully manipulated to create iconic reminders that moments of beauty and pleasure can be found in the most mundane, ridiculous, and/or depressing of contexts.

Lasionycta l. moeschleri (Staudinger) occurs in eastern Canada from the east coast of Hudson Bay and southern Labrador north to the arctic islands near the Ungava Peninsula, Quebec. It is similar to subspecies leucocycla but has a more crisply marked dark-gray to black forewing with pale better defined orbicular and reniform spots and a purer white hindwing. Subspecies moeschleri is most similar to L. staudingeri of all L. leucocycla due to its white hindwing color. Th ey are sympatric on Baffin Island. Differences between them are given in the key and L. leucocycla Diagnosis section.

description: Il presente studio ha inteso verificare le strategie di acquisizione delle consonanti affricate italiane da parte di apprendenti albanesi, nigeriani e spagnoli. Un corpus di conversazioni orali semi-guidate è stato analizzato acusticamente mediante Praat. I risultati raccolti provano che la produzione delle affricate italiane non solleva particolari difficoltà se i suoni sono già presenti nella L1 dell’apprendente. Diversamente, se le affricate sono solo parzialmente rappresentate, o non lo sono affatto, l’apprendente mette in atto svariate strategie acquisizionali al fine di raggiungere il target fonologico della L2, come l’assimilazione, la fusione o la dissimilazione di categorie. I risultati emersi sono stati interpretati secondo i princìpi teorici postulati dallo Speech Learning Model.

Affricate consonants: acquisition strategies in italian L2

The present study aims to investigate the acquisition of Italian affricate consonants by Albanian, Nigerian and Spanish learners. A corpus of semi-guided oral conversations was analyzed acoustically through Praat. The results collected prove that the production of Italian affricates does not present particular difficulties if the sounds are already present in the mother tongue of the learner. Otherwise, if affricates are only partially represented or absent, the learner activates different learning strategies in order to reach the phonological target of the L2, such as assimilation, fusion and category dissimilation. The findings were interpreted according to the theoretical principles postulated by the Speech Learning Model.

“I Am in Here”: A Comparative Reading of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis
Creators: name: Den Dulk, Allard
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915), with Gregor Samsa’s transformation “into a gigantic insect”, forms an insightful comparative reading to the opening of Wallace’s Infinite Jest (1996), including Hal Incandenza’s seeming, unexplained catatonia. Wallace described Kafka’s fiction as conducting a “radical literalization of truths we tend to treat as metaphorical”. In comparing Kafka’s novella and Infinite Jest, the question ‘what has happened to Hal?’ thus means: what metaphor is literalized by Hal’s situation? In both texts, the metaphors represent selfhood and writing fiction; but, contrary to Gregor, Hal has taken up the task of self-becoming and symbolizes literary disclosure and communication – rendering Infinite Jest as a redemptive novel.

Infinite Jest’s Voice(s)
Creators: name: Ardovino, Adriano
name: Masiero, Pia
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

We often refer to a book as having a voice that sounds uniquely distinctive, a voice that stays with us after a book is over. Voice is a key narratological term; together with its twin partner – focalization – it constitutes the skeleton of a given storyworld. The first – experiential – conception of voice is difficult to grasp and articulate and has something to do with a specific tonality we perceive in a direct, almost visceral way. The second – scholarly – produces a host of definitional moves, which tend to crystallize it in a dominant mode of articulating a story. “Infinite Jest’s Voice(s)” aims to bridge the two conceptions of voice just sketched, trying to give the sense of the book’s having a distinctive, unforgettable, voice as far as the reader’s experience is concerned.

Memories of the Limbaugh Administration
Creators: name: Severs, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

This essay addresses the questions of why conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh appears in the background of Infinite Jest as pre-Subsidized Time president and what this small, unexplained detail opens up about the relationship of the novel and some of Wallace’s nonfiction writing to conservative media, the later rise of Donald Trump, and the role of radio in particular in Wallace’s imagination of narrative voice. While there are some things to say about Trump and about Infinite Jest’s seeming prediction of his presidency, in the figure of entertainer-turned-politician Johnny Gentle, this essay focuses instead on Wallace’s concrete (if fleeting) prediction of President Limbaugh, as well as the larger role Limbaugh’s strident, cruel, demagogic voice played in the way Wallace (a heavy listener to all sorts of radio) imagined political, media, and even fiction-writing possibilities. The essay examines how Limbaugh as major conservative media figure lies not just in the background of Infinite Jest but is threaded through Wallace’s analysis of U.S. politics and potential fascism, from the early 1990s in which Infinite Jest was largely composed through to one of Wallace’s final major essays, the 2005 account of conservative talk radio titled “Host” are analysed. In close-readings of Infinite Jest, sonic elements of Infinite Jest and certain subliminal anti-Limbaugh and anti-Gentle agendas in the radio host the novel does describe at length, Joelle van Dyne, a.k.a. Madame Psychosis, adding much-needed nuance to analyses of Wallace that focus exclusively on visual media as dominant forces in U.S. culture.

title: Local Clusters and Global Entrepreneurship: The significance of spatial and relational propinquity in new firm formation

Publisher: name: CISC
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Industry clusters
subject: Entrepreneurship
subject: Local proximity
subject: Centre for Innovation & Structural Change (CISC)

description: This paper explores the significance of local proximity for new firm formation in particular industries. Within the literature, entrepreneurs are viewed as critical to industrial cluster formation and development in regions, while at the same time clusters are assumed to foster entrepreneurship by providing established linkages and access to knowledge flows. Entrepreneurship is therefore modelled as an inherently local process within industrial clusters. However, given that firms, particularly in high-tech sectors, are often globally oriented the significance of local proximity both geographically and relationally is ambiguous. Therefore, the research questions addressed in this paper are; How "local" is new firm formation in an industrial cluster in terms of the networks created to establish and develop a globally-oriented firm and the influence of the cluster in the formation of such a firm? And how significant, if it all, is being located in a cluster for a globally-oriented firm? To answer these questions, globally-oriented firms within the medical technology cluster in Galway were analysed. Data was gathered from twelve interviews with entrepreneurs in the cluster. Analysis of this data shows that even though these firms are established to serve an international market from the outset, the entrepreneurs use the local cluster and local networks to facilitate them in accessing international networks. Locating in the cluster is found to be significant for the entrepreneurs in three main ways: access to a specialised labour pool, a quality of life factor that makes it easier to attract and retain labour and the international reputation of Galway as a medical device hub that facilitates entrepreneurs in establishing global networks. Moreover, local networks in the form of mentorship between serial and more inexperienced entrepreneurs were found to be particularly important for building the credibility of such start-up firms and their international connections.
The Triumph of the Will of Athletes in Infinite Jest

Year: 2022

description:

In 1995, in the introduction to Tennis and the Meaning of Life: A Literary Anthology of the Game, Jay Jennings lamented that there were still “no great” tennis novels. Had the collection been published just a year later, a revision would have been in order. David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest (1996), the encyclopaedic masterpiece set around the grounds of Enfield Tennis Academy, is a great tennis novel. Yet, when critics discuss Wallace’s work on tennis, the focus is usually on his essays and tends to fall into one of two camps: either emphasizing the bodies of Wallace’s dumb jocks, or the divine inspiration that helps them play so well. Once we recognise that Wallace’s treatment of character was itself always dualistic, we can begin to reconcile these two apparently conflicting points of view. Doing so will shed new light on Wallace’s treatment of tennis as a stress-test of the connection between body and soul, and will raise difficult questions about the fate of a country where that test is so necessary.

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition which usually manifests between the ages of 20 40 years. This is a critical period for developing relationships, particularly romantic relationships. People with MS can experience sexual dysfunction, limb weakness, fatigue, pain, reduced mood and bladder/bowel dysfunction; potentially affecting their ability to participate in many meaningful activities, including those associated with romantic relationships, dating or engaging in sexual intercourse. Dating or starting romantic relationships can be difficult for people with physical disabilities as they can experience stigma, negative societal attitudes and the fear of requiring care from potential partners. Dating experiences of people with progressive conditions like MS have not been explored in detail. The aim of this study was to develop a rich understanding of how living with MS interacts with/influences dating and developing romantic relationships. The study used a descriptive phenomenological design and a purposive sampling strategy. Colaizzi s descriptive phenomenological method was used to analyze the data (Colaizzi, 1978). Five females and two males, aged 23 51, participated in two online focus groups. Dating with a diagnosis of MS is a highly personal phenomenon, characterized by individual differences in values and experiences. Core to the phenomenon was personal decision-making about disclosure of the diagnosis and ongoing adaptation to the fluctuating nature of the condition with partners in new/developing relationships. The findings will help health professionals working with adults with MS understand this important aspect of their lives.
Wallace After Postmodernism (Again): Metamodernism, Tone, Tennis
Creators: name: Vermeulen, Timotheus
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

David Foster Wallace’s writing has come to be synonymous with post-postmodernism. Strategies that are often singled out in this respect include the return to epic forms of storytelling; a post-ironic attitude towards its subject matter; a concern with empathy and affective generosity; and an ambiguous but reinvigorated relationship of language to ‘reality’. In this essay I consider some of these in the context of visual art. The aim is less to map one onto another, detailing how much they have in common, than it is to tease out some of the differences between them so as to pinpoint Wallace’s position on post-postmodernism’s cognitive map across the disciplines.

Transgression vs the Politically Correct: Phases and Faces of a Core Category in Children’s Literature
Creators: name: Orestano, Francesca
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

It seems that in recent years criticism has been eagerly focusing on ‘transgression’ and ‘transgressive’ as keywords that enlarge the epistemic horizon, allowing the scholar’s gaze to descry areas previously untouched, or explored with a different cultural bias. In the literary domain, as an intentional act that involves trespassing, and the breaking of rules performed in explicit ways, transgression is often linked to language and form, and also to questions of gender, politics, social behaviour. The following articles, while dwelling on transgression, locate it within the area of children’s fiction, thus operating a first preliminary transgression, inasmuch as this kind of literature has been traditionally moulded by the romantic and pastoral fallacy of childhood as an innocent, untainted, happy condition, and, in turn, by the Victorian cult of the child that thrived on aesthetically idealized representations of childhood and youth, teeming with sound moral principles, healthy didacticism, excellent examples of virtue.

Forbidden Words: Language Control and Victorian Political Correctness in Dickens and Carroll
Creators: name: Benziman, Galia
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

This article examines Charles Dickens’s and Lewis Carroll’s representations of mechanisms of control over people’s – especially young people’s – language, imagination, and minds. Moralistic on the one hand, political on the other hand, Victorian patterns of censorship and self-censorship are reflected, critiqued, and satirised by Dickens in various stages of his career, and are related in his work to artistic creativity, language and the imagination. He attacks the utilitarian resistance to fairy tale and especially Maria Edgeworth’s manifesto on the usefulness and uselessness of various genres of children’s literature, and criticizes George Cruikshank’s revisionist project of furthering certain social doctrines, mainly teetotalism, by interpolating moralistic messages into famous fairy tales. Much of this preoccupation is followed up in Carroll’s Alice books. For both, I argue, these didactic revisions are related to patterns of language control, banned words, and euphemisms that they repeatedly probe and parody in their fiction. My essay will examine the representation of language control, self-censorship and verbal training in terms of an early, Victorian-era politically-correct discourse; I will ask what, if at all, Dickens and Carroll’s treatment of these issues may contribute to the current debate surrounding our own politically-correct culture.

The Blue Fairy and Wendy

Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

In Collodi’s Le avventure di Pinocchio (1883) and Barrie’s Peter and Wendy (1911), the little girls’ characters – the fairy and Wendy – do grow up, adopting the roles of ‘surrogate mothers’ for the heroes. Playing the mother to excess, they challenge gender hierarchy. It is therefore less a transgression of rules than it is a subversion of values. Disney’s Pinocchio (1940) and Peter Pan (1953) advocate order and obedience, thus doing away with the freedom of childhood. Garrone’s Pinocchio (2019) and Zeitlin’s Wendy (2020) mitigate gender stereotypes, but the disturbing ambivalence of the girls disappears, in favour of more univocal characters.

Year: 2022

description:

This article reflects on the contours and limits of the extremely complex and unstable notion of ‘politically correctness’ in contemporary youth literature, based on the study of Malika Ferdjoukh’s French novel Rome, l’Enfer. This novel for adolescents, which was published in 1995 by L’Ecole des Loisirs (Medium collection) and which shocked many readers at the time, is in many ways politically incorrect – in terms of the themes addressed (social violence, drugs, etc.), the structure of the story (a descent into hell ending with the death of the young protagonist), and the highly critical discourse on literature, which is allegedly incapable of preparing young people to face the ‘real’ world. Nevertheless, the article will show that this book, which in many ways is ‘politically incorrect’, does not give up its educational purpose.

Children’s Sexualisation and Toys
Creators: name: Moja, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

This article offers an analysis of children’s sexualisation in children’s literature by focusing on the collection Barbie Unbound: A Parody of the Barbie Obsession. With Photos by Geoff Hansen (1997) by Sarah Strohmeyer. In the book, the Barbie doll is used as a medium to discuss sexual issues. Away from her typical pink, glossy and superficial world, in Strohmeyer’s collection, Barbie is depicted while facing real problems; thus, she gets involved with dramatic historical events and violent life experiences, at a variety of social roles. Inasmuch as the famous toy is easily identifiable by a children’s, adolescent, and adult audience, Barbie Unbound addresses a crossover readership, and stimulates an intergenerational debate about sexuality. Yet, since adult writers and readers usually repress children’s relationship with sexuality, sex in Barbie Unbound is depicted in antithetical fashion. On the one hand, Strohmeyer offers detailed theoretical instructions to her young readers, and discusses topics of current interest. On the other hand, she tries to limit children’s and teenagers’ actual sexual experiences by stressing their terrible consequences, such as rape and venereal diseases, thus offering a dual interpretation between transgression and politically correct.

John Boyne’s Representation of the Shoah in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas: A Paradigm of Transgression and Linguistic Uncertainties
Creators: name: Canani, Marco
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2022

description:

This article argues that transgression provides an illuminating critical category to examine the narrative construction of John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2006). Boyne’s decision to entrust his testimonial narrative to Bruno, the son of an SS commander, produces a representational uncertainty that is reminiscent of Theodor Adorno’s claims on post-Auschwitz aesthetics. Bruno’s fictional testimony is marked by a difficulty in conceptualising experience via language, which reveals voids in his cognizance of reality. This epistemic modality, however, is transgressed by the interaction of words and images in the film version of the novel.

description: We use a cross-section, time-series approach to study the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the European union with particular emphasis on the expectations of a Single Market following the Single European Act of 1987. Using annual data from the 1980s and early 1990s, we investigate the determinants of US and Japanese FDI in the EU by pooling the data by the host country. We find strong evidence in favour of a Single Market effect where the anticipation of a larger market size due to a barriers-free European market leads to an increase in the inflows of FDI. In addition, our estimation results show that FDI flows in the EU also depend on market size and the real exchange rate (as a proxy of relative labour costs).

description: Lasionycta leucocycla albertensis (McDunnough) Figs 25–29, 147. Map 6 Anarta leucocycla albertensis McDunnough, 1925: 307. Lasionycta leucocycla albertensis differs from other subspecies in having a yellow hindwing. Both surfaces of the hindwing have a thin discal spot and narrow marginal band. The forewing is gray to light gray brown, often with indistinct markings. Forewings of specimens from western Yukon and Alaska tend to be pale, those from Hudson Bay are dark and distinctly marked, similar to those of subspecies moeschleri, and those from Rocky Mountain populations often have patches of yellow. Subspecies albertensis is similar to Lasionycta illima from Yukon and Alaska, which also has a pale-yellow hindwing. These species can be distinguished by characters described in the L. leucocycla diagnosis section. In North America L. l. albertensis occurs from west-central Alaska and central Yukon southward in the Rocky Mountains to the Beartooth Plateau on the Montana- Wyoming border. Its range extends eastward to the west coast of Hudson Bay, but it is replaced by L. l. leucocycla near the arctic shore of the mainland. Intermediates between these subspecies are found in a narrow zone near treeline from Arviat, Nunavut to central Yukon. Subspecies albertensis also occurs in the Russian Far East (Lafontaine et al. 1986).

Η μελέτη της αρχιτεκτονικής επικεντρώνεται στην αναγνώριση των ποικίλων αρχιτεκτονικών δομών στον οικισμό και γίνεται μια προσπάθεια να απαντηθούν ερωτήματα σχετικά με τους τρόπους που η συγκεκριμένη οικιστική οργάνωση κατέχει ένα ενεργό ρόλο καθώς δημιουργεί συγκεκριμένα υποκείμενα και δομεί τις σχέσεις των κατοίκων μεταξύ τους. Μέσα από την τυπολογική μελέτη του κεραμικού συνόλου επιχειρείται να αποκαλυφθεί η πιθανή ποικιλομορφία και τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά των ποικίλων αγγείων από τον Άγιο Αθανάσιο. Η εξέταση των ποικίλων σχημάτων και των ιδιοτήτων τους αποσκοπεί από τη μια στο να προταθούν οι πιθανές χρήσεις των αγγείων στις καθημερινές δραστηριότητες των ανθρώπων, και από την άλλη να κατανοηθούν οι τρόποι που αυτές οι καθημερινές πρακτικές -αναπόσπαστο μέρος των οποίων είναι και τα κεραμικά σκεύη- αποτελούν στρατηγικές δράσεις με συμβολικές, κοινωνικές και οικονομικές προεκτάσεις
description: The object of the thesis is the architecture and the pottery from the settlement of Agios Athanasios in the area of Thessaloniki dating to the Early Bronze Age. The study of the architecture focuses on the identification of the various architectural structures in order to consider issues concerning the ways this specific architectural organization has an active role in the constitution of specific subjectivities and relations among the inhabitants. Through the typological study of the ceramic assemblage the author attempts to reveal the potential diversity and the specific characteristics of the pottery form Agios Athanasios. The examination of the various shapes and their properties aims at proposing the possible uses of the vessels in the daily activities of the people and at understanding the ways in which these daily practices –an integral part of which is the ceramic pots- are strategic actions with symbolic, social and economic implications.

title: A Balancing Act: Managing the global-local dimensions of industrial clusters through the mechanism of 'lead' organisations

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate 'leading' organisations in a region to understand how the balance between the global and local dimensions can be managed by clusters. Two cases of industrial clusters are employed to examine how certain organisations can occupy a 'lead' position and how - if at all - such organisations generate an agglomerative effect in a cluster, given that firms engage in extra-local inter-organisational linkages in order to remain competitive. The study shows that when large firms enact a leading role by influencing the technology trajectory of the region and stimulating the local dynamic they can generate agglomerative effects thereby enhancing the relevance and sustainability of clusters. Most significantly, it shows how leading organisations act as an important facilitator in connecting the global and local dimensions of clusters even in the absence of extensive formal local linkages. While the study substantiates previous research on the significance of temporary and organised forms of proximity it also shows the value of permanent geographical proximity, thereby contesting recent research that downplays the relevance of the clustering institution (e.g. Wickham and Vecchi 2008, Lorentzen 2007).

description: 1. The aim of the present study was to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and metabolic pathways involved in this phenotype. Fibromelanosis is the most striking feature of black-bone chickens, such as the Silkie and Dongxiang indigenous breeds. Due to the accumulation of eumelanin in connective tissues, fibromelanosis manifests as black colouration of the skin, muscles, gut, and periosteum. Studies on fibromelanosis can provide useful information pertaining to human diseases and offer commercial value to the poultry industry. However, the genetic basis of fibromelanosis remains unclear. 2. Digital gene expression analysis was performed on black and white skin samples collected from the HW1 black-bone chicken line to detect differences in genome-wide expression patterns. A total of >30 billion bp were sequenced, and 2,707,926,466 bp and 2,948,782,964 bp of clean data obtained for creation of libraries for black and white skin, respectively. In total, 252 DEGs from 15,508 mapped genes were identified with 83 up-regulated in white skin and 169 up-regulated in black skin. 3. Gene ontology analysis highlighted that genes from the extracellular region and associated components were abundant among the DEGs. Pathway analysis revealed that many DEGs were linked to amino acid metabolism and the immune system. qRT-PCR validation using 14 genes showed good conformity with the sequence analysis of fibromelanosis-related genes. 4. The results showed that L-dopachrometautomerase precursor (DCT), tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD) from the tyrosine metabolism pathway, coagulation factor II (F2), fibrinogen beta chain (FGB), plasminogen (PLG) and complement component 7 (C7) from the complement and coagulation cascades were important genes in the fibromelanosis process in black-bone chickens. These candidate genes require further correlation analysis and functional verification.

description: Working paper
description: This study examines the effects that Contracts for Difference (CFDs) have had on theAustralian equity market, either as an accelerant for mispricing, or as a source of increased marketfunctionality through the addition of a new tradable product and increased liquidity. The AustralianSecurities Exchange (ASX) made the decision to segregate CFDs to a separate ring-fenced exchangein November 2007. This study uses EGARCH techniques to test for the effects of CFDs on returnvolatility at the time of CFD inclusion and segregation in Australian equity markets at the index andequity-specific level. A fully worked explanation and example of a CFD-influenced overhang is alsoprovided. The results provide evidence that cannot reject the presence of overhangs in Australianequity markets.

title: Conflict between Commercial and Recreational Activities on Irish Rivers: Estimating the Economic Value of Whitewater Kayaking in Ireland using Mixed Data Sources

Subjects: subject: Travel cost model

description: This paper's contribution to the understanding of outdoor recreational pursuits in Ireland comes from the estimation of the first whitewater kayaking demand function. This paper is also unique in that it combines data collected from two different sources; the internet and an on-site survey, thus alleviating the problem of endogenenous stratification that is found when carrying out on-site surveys alone. The Travel Cost Model (TCM) method of estimation is used to put a value on the demand for whitewater recreation on the Roughty river, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Whitewater kayaking is well suited for the use of TCM to estimate recreational values as it is conducted at distinct, identifiable sites, and most paddling trips are single purpose, taken for the sole purpose of recreation at the site (English and Bowker, 1996). With regard to the estimation of our travel cost model, the study found that the mean willingness to pay (i.e. the consumer surplus + travel cost) of the average kayaker using the Roughty river in Co. Kerry was 194 Euro per trip. This result is conditional on the survey sample but still indicates the high value of the Roughty river as a whitewater recreational resource.

description: The paper tests for long-run monetary policy convergence and short-run policy interactions in seven ERM countries over the 1979-1992 period using the approach of multivariate cointegration and Granger-causality tests. We provide evidence for very little monetary policy convergence, even during the more stable 1987-1992 period. Our tests for short-run monetary policy interactions show that, in agreement with some other studies, Germany is not the leader country in the system as it appears to accommodate shocks in other member countries. Our tests show also that full monetary policy convergence applied among Germany, Belgium and Netherlands in the 1987-1992 period implying that these countries could be the first to join a European monetary union should a two-speed approach to monetary union become a reality.
