Some Effects Of Imf Lending Programs In The Mena Countries, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Wasseem Mina Sep 2003

Some Effects Of Imf Lending Programs In The Mena Countries, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Wasseem Mina

ECON Publications

The goal of this paper is to examine whether IMF lending programs in the MENA region lead international lenders to perceive lower lending risks and generate moral hazard as reflected in a shift in the maturity composition of international debt toward long-term debt flows. We find that IMF credit in general generated moral hazard in MENA after the IMF large-scale rescue package to Mexico.

Grandparents As Family Caregivers: Lessons For Intergenerational Education, Nancy P. Kropf, Denise Burnett Apr 2003

Grandparents As Family Caregivers: Lessons For Intergenerational Education, Nancy P. Kropf, Denise Burnett

SW Publications

The number of grandparents who have responsibility for raising grandchildren has increased dramatically over the past several decades. From an educational perspective, content on custodial grandparents can promote an increased interest in, and understanding of, the complexities of aging by stressing the intergenerational aspects of this family form. This paper describes the growing population of custodial grandparents, and the larger socio environmental contexts of these families. In addition, it highlights instructional approaches for including content on grandparent-headed families within didactic and experiential courses.


Serum Dioxin And Psychological Functioning In U.S. Air Force Veterans Of The Vietnam War, Joel E. Michalek Feb 2003

Serum Dioxin And Psychological Functioning In U.S. Air Force Veterans Of The Vietnam War, Joel E. Michalek

Psychology Faculty Publications

Using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, we assessed the psychological functioning of U.S. Air Force veterans exposed to Agent Orange and its contaminant, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin), during the Vietnam War. Index subjects were veterans of Operation Ranch Hand (N = 1,109). Comparisons (N = 1,493) were U.S. Air Force veterans not involved with spraying herbicides. We found few consistent psychological abnormalities associated with serum dioxin levels. Ranch Hand veterans with higher dioxin levels showed some difficulties in anxiety, somatization, depression, and a denial of psychological factors. However, those with background levels also showed indications of …

Procurement Auctions For Differentiated Goods, Jason Shachat, Todd Swarthout Jan 2003

Procurement Auctions For Differentiated Goods, Jason Shachat, Todd Swarthout

ExCEN Working Papers

We consider two mechanisms to procure differentiated goods: a request for quote and an English auction with bidding credits. In the request for quote, each seller submits a price and the inherent quality of his good. Then the buyer selects the seller who offers the greatest difference in quality and price. In the English auction with bidding credits, the buyer assigns a bidding credit to each seller conditional upon the quality of the seller’s good. Then the sellers compete in an English auction with the winner receiving the auction price and his bidding credit. Game theoretic models predict the request …

A Lesson Of Human Connection: 9/11, Film, Brotherhood, And Interpretation, Deron R. Boyles

Educational Policy Studies Faculty Publications

Brothers Gedeon and Jules Naudet were within two blocks of the World Trade Center (WTC) on the morning of September 11, 2001 when terrorists flew hijacked planes into the WTC towers. Both brothers had cameras with them, as they were engaged in shooting a documentary film about firefighters at the time. As a result, they captured unique footage from the area, including the only images from inside Tower 1, where firefighters were trying to get a handle on the situation. The footage includes sounds of falling bodies and scenes of firefighters trying to escape from Tower 1 after Tower 2 …

Educational Policy Studies Faculty Publications

More cautionary positions are represented in the editorial comments of L.L. Thurstone and W.W. Charters. In 1930, Thurstone wrote in the Journal of Higher Education that academic freedom needed to be guarded. He broadly referred to cases when he argued for a defense of academic freedom by involving the “Association of University Professors” and having the organization effectively censure colleges and universities that encroached on academic freedom. Within his article, however, he noted that his “plan involves no violence in speech or action, and it does not challenge the legal right of the trustees of a university to decide matters …


Uncertainty Monitoring May Promote Emergents, Duane M. Rumbaugh, Michael J. Beran, James L. Pate Jan 2003

Uncertainty Monitoring May Promote Emergents, Duane M. Rumbaugh, Michael J. Beran, James L. Pate

Language Research Center

We suggest that the phenomenon of uncertainty monitoring in nonhuman animals contributes richly to the conception of nonhuman animals’ self-monitoring. We propose that uncertainty may play a role in the emergence of new forms of behavior that are adaptive. We recommend that Smith et al. determine the extent to which the uncertain response transfers immediately to other test paradigms.
