Fiscal Decentralization And China’S Regional Infant Mortality, Gregory J. Brock, Yinghua Jin, Tong Zeng

Gregory J. Brock

Regional Chinese infant mortality rates (IMRs) are examined using a stochastic frontier method for the first time.

Knowledge And Attitudes Of Georgia High School Economics Teachers, Gregory J. Brock Jan 2008

Knowledge And Attitudes Of Georgia High School Economics Teachers, Gregory J. Brock

Gregory J. Brock

Teachers who recently took a university course or at least attended an economics education workshop are far more likely to like and be knowledgeable about economics.
