Debt Contagion In The Europe: A Panel-Vector Autoregressive (Var) Analysis, Sharmila K. King, Florence Bouvet, Ryan Brady
Debt Contagion In The Europe: A Panel-Vector Autoregressive (Var) Analysis, Sharmila K. King, Florence Bouvet, Ryan Brady
College of the Pacific Faculty Articles
The European sovereign-debt crisis began in Greece when the government announced in December, 2009, that its debt reached 121% of GDP (or 300 billion euros) and its 2009 budget deficit was 12.7% of GDP, four times the level allowed by the Maastricht Treaty. The Greek crisis soon spread to other Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries, notably Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Using quarterly data for the 2000–2011 period, we implement a panel-vector autoregressive (PVAR) model for 11 EMU countries to examine the extent to which a rise in a country’s bond-yield spread or debt-to-GDP ratio affects another EMU countries’ …
The Politics Of John Muir, Dorothy M. Freeman
The Politics Of John Muir, Dorothy M. Freeman
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A man does not always see himself as others see him. John Muir is venerated by several generations of Americans as a man who left a legacy of State and National Parks, State and National Forests, outdoor beauty and untouched wilderness areas which would never have survived has it not been for this dedicated man.
He did not plan such a course. He did what he found necessary to be done, without thought of personal gain or public honor.
However, during his lifetime there were those who did not view him with such veneration. Countless ranchers, lumberman and politicians must …
American Career Of James Connolly, Kara P. Brewer
American Career Of James Connolly, Kara P. Brewer
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
So badly wounded that he had to be propped up in a chair to face the firing squad, James Connolly was executed by the British on May 10, 1916 in Dublin's infamous Kilmainham Jail. He had been one of the leaders of the abortive Easter 'Rising against English control of Ireland. This event in itself was sufficient to guarantee him a significant place in Irish history but Connolly had achieved prominence in other activities as well. Besides being a revolutionary nationalist he had been a Marxist and a labor leader, had founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party and had played …
An Inter-American Study Of William Sydney Porter's Latin American Stories, Anthony Joseph Gutierrez
An Inter-American Study Of William Sydney Porter's Latin American Stories, Anthony Joseph Gutierrez
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Statement of the problem. This paper is an examination of William Sydney Porter's Latin American stories in light of their inter-American significance. The basic point of view from which the study is made is that Porter is a North American writing about Latin American at the beginning of the twentieth century. The paper examines the Latin American and North American characters which appear in the stories and catalogs them into groups of stereotypes.
The aim of this study is to discover Porter's ideas, views, and concepts of Latin America, Latin Americans, and North Americas in Latin America, as they are …

The German "Vormärz" And The Youth Of Carl David Weber, Ilka Stoffregen Hartmann
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
No biography has yet been written about the man who founded the city of Stockton, the first Californian town with an English name, a city which in 1851 was under consideration to become the state capital.
Little is known about the personal life of Charles M. Weber whom Erin G. Gudde calls "next to Sutter the most notable German pioneer during the transition period of California history".
Problems Of Assimilation And Cultural Pluralism Among Chinese-Americans In San Francisco : An Exploratory Study, James Wilbur Chin
Problems Of Assimilation And Cultural Pluralism Among Chinese-Americans In San Francisco : An Exploratory Study, James Wilbur Chin
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
For many years a difference of opinion has existed regarding inter-ethnic relations dealing specifically with the Chinese-Americans. This is all part of the process of social change which is currently taking place in the United States. Not only the Chinese-Americans, but other minorities as well, are attempting to find their place within the American society. Therefore, a study of the Chinese-Americans is very timely. Hopefully this study will contribute to the larger body of theory dealing with intergroup relations.

A Historical Study Of The Development Of The Bracero Program,With Special Emphasis On The Coachella And Imperial Valleys, Margaret Breed Mackaye
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Why at the present time do we need added sources of labor beyond that available within the country? One faction would cry, "We don't!" Another would say, "We decry the importation of labor, but there simply aren't United States citizens in sufficient numbers to get these jobs done." A third group would probably answer, "Why worry about it? These laborers will come across the border, legally or illegally; we may as well avail ourselves of their services." Perhaps we should let a fourth group speak: "We must see that you do not misuse these people."
Political And Economic Factors In The Decline Of The British Empire, Pasquale Anania
Political And Economic Factors In The Decline Of The British Empire, Pasquale Anania
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The decline of British influence in world affairs is one of the more pronounced political phenomena of modern times. Over the past century key territories subject to British rule have been slipping loose from their imperial moorings at an ever more rapid rate. Those remaining subject to British authority grow progressively more belligerent.
In his search for an understanding or this eclipse or British sovereignty, the contemporary historian finds himself groping through a network of complexly interrelated social, political, economic, and psychological processes. One or another student or history has argued that specific instances or groups of these processes are …
The Adjustment Of Eighty Correspondence Club Members As Indicated By Two Adjustment Inventories, Maurice R. Seaquist
The Adjustment Of Eighty Correspondence Club Members As Indicated By Two Adjustment Inventories, Maurice R. Seaquist
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It is the purpose of the present thesis to determine the adjustment of a sampling of correspondence club members. The hypothesis is that the social adjustment of these individuals is inferior to that of the individuals used in two personality inventories. In addition, answers to these questions are sought:
- Is there a common need or problem that motivates these men and women to seek companionship through correspondence agencies?
- What is their age, sex, cultural and geographical background?
- What are the physical qualities and economic status of the members and what qualities and status are they seeking in the members they …
A Study Of Frustration Tolerance In Handicapped Children, Barbara Ellen Bower
A Study Of Frustration Tolerance In Handicapped Children, Barbara Ellen Bower
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
What is adjustment? There are almost as many ways of defining it as there are ways of achieving it. To anwer the question one must first try to find the common factor of the varied definitions of adjustment. Sheviakov and Friedberg in their report of the Eight Year Study say, Desirable adjustment was thought of, generally as a process of maturation and adaptation, during which the individual is able to integrate successfully (i.e., without neurotic compromises or delinquent episodes) his primitive impulses and drives with those expectations or demands which are imposed upon him (with reference to his age, sex, …
The Public Life And Achievements Of James Duval Phelan, Jean Tully
The Public Life And Achievements Of James Duval Phelan, Jean Tully
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
As a figure in the American period of California history, Mr. James D. Phelan's achievements were an outstanding example of what an honest man can do in politics. First of all, I have endeavored to show his contributions to the city of San Francisco. There is hardly any field of San Francisco life in which James D. Phelan did not leave a tremendous influence. The politics of his term as mayor were a shining model of clean and progressive measures.
As senator he kept the interest of California at heart. Through his work at the World's Columbian Exposition, he made …
