The purpose of this research is to investigate causal relationship between economic growth and major indicators of financial crisis -- inflation rate, interest rate and the volume of foreign debt-- in Pakistan. This study also highlights the stability of the relationship between indicators of financial crisis and economic growth. The annual time series data ranging from 1972 to 2010 is used for the analysis. Johansen's co-integration test is used to check the stability of long nm equilibrium relationship between the variables used in the study. The results indicate that is long nm stable equilibrium relationship between economic growth and the …

Gender Inequality And Economic Growth: A Time Series Analysis For Pakistan, Zahid Pervaiz, Muhammad Irfan Chani, Sajjad Ahmad Jan, Amatul R. Chaudhary
Muhammad Irfan Chani
This paper attempts to analyze the impact of gender inequality on economic growth of Pakistan. An annual time series data for the period of 1972-2009 has been used in this study. We have regressed growth rate of real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita on labour force growth, investment, trade openness and a composite index of gender inequality. The results reveal that labour force growth, investment and trade openness have statistically significant and positive impact whereas gender inequality has a significant and negative effect on economic growth of Pakistan.

Péter Cserne
This chapter is to appear in Contact Law and Economics, part of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Law and Economics, 2nd ed. Its purpose is to provide an overview of the economic analyses of contractual duress. The focus is on the distinctive features of the economic perspective on the duress doctrine, as developed in the theoretical literature of law and economics. Along with the results of economic analysis, the legal background and some non-economic theories of duress are also briefly presented.

The Canonical Econophysics Approach To The Flash Crash Of May 6, 2010, Joao Mazzeu, Thiago Otuki, Sergio Da Silva
Sergio Da Silva
We carry out a statistical physics analysis of the flash crash of May 6, 2010 using data from the Dow Jones Industrial Average index sampled at a one-minute frequency from September 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010. We evaluate the hypothesis of a non-Gaussian Levy-stable distribution to model the data and pay particular attention to the distribution-tail behavior. We conclude that there is non-Gaussian scaling and thus that the flash crash cannot be considered an anomaly. From the study of tails, we find that the flash crash followed a power-law pattern outside the Levy regime, which was not the inverse …
Overconfidence And Excess Entry: A Comparison Between Students And Managers, A. Felipe Rodrigues, Newton Da Costa Jr, Sergio Da Silva
Overconfidence And Excess Entry: A Comparison Between Students And Managers, A. Felipe Rodrigues, Newton Da Costa Jr, Sergio Da Silva
Sergio Da Silva
Overconfidence can lead to excessive business entry. Here we replicate the pioneer experiment finding this nexus (Camerer and Lovallo 1999) and extend it in two major directions: (1) to consider managers as well as student subjects and (2) to explicitly take into account selected characteristics of the manager subjects. We find that managers are more prone to the nexus overconfidence-excess entry than students are. In particular, we find that left-handed, married, and emotionally aroused managers are more prone to excess entry.

A Log-Periodic Fit For The Flash Crash Of May 6, 2010, Raul Matsushita, Sergio Da Silva

We show that a two-harmonic log-periodic formula fits the high-frequency data from the Dow Jones Industrial Average index, which encompass the recent episode known as the “flash crash” of May 6, 2010.

Impacts Of China's Growth On The Brazilian Trade, Tatiana Ferrari, Milton Biage, Sergio Da Silva
Sergio Da Silva
We evaluate whether the presence of China in world trade is ultimately beneficial or whether it is a threat to Brazil. Using a gravitational model and a panel data method, we find that the Chinese exports to countries other than Brazil are not hurting the Brazilian exports, although the exports of Brazilian manufactured goods have been displaced by commodities as a result of its commerce with China.
Revisiting Staggered Wages To Consider Discounting, Patricia Bonini, Sergio Da Silva
Revisiting Staggered Wages To Consider Discounting, Patricia Bonini, Sergio Da Silva
Sergio Da Silva
In the literature of staggered wages, the discount factor is neglected in the workers’ loss function. Yet, discounting is to be viewed as an extra piece of microfoundation with implications for discretionary monetary policy. We revisit the issue and show that discounting in the model of staggered wages actually lowers the time-consistent steady inflation.

Algorithmic Complexity Theory Detects Decreases In The Relative Efficiency Of Stock Markets In The Aftermath Of The 2008 Financial Crisis, Cleiton Taufemback, Ricardo Giglio, Sergio Da Silva
Sergio Da Silva
The relative efficiency of financial markets can be evaluated using algorithmic complexity theory. Using this approach we detect decreases in efficiency rates of the major stocks listed on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

In this article I am primarily concerned with presenting Slavoj Žižek3 as a legal theorist. Žižek has been a valuable contributor to critical theory and deserves a place in the pantheon of legal thinkers.
While his diverse writings are often relegated to other disciplines, they also position him as an important contributor to law and public discourse. I seek to illuminate how he mediates and interrogates the law by demonstrating how his scholarship is important to the lives of legal thinkers, questions of success and the law, capitalism, political practice, and terrorism. Because Žižek’s work is interdisciplinary and expansive, this …
Global Trends In Servicisation And Comparative Hrm In Europe, Anton Kramberger
Global Trends In Servicisation And Comparative Hrm In Europe, Anton Kramberger
Anton Kramberger
The chapter focuses on a comparative snapshot of the level of organisational servicisation from an HRM and business performance perspective, using the 2004 Cranet data. Main research question is the following: How is increase in services associated with HRM practices within the EU organisations? Twenty countries are divided into two clusters: fourteen West European countries and six East European countries.
The study finds a clear dual pattern of different effects of servicisation on organisations. With increase in services, Western part already succeeds to include many of the high-road HRM practices, especially in Scandinavia. However, in Eastern part the old efficiency …

Does Having A Dysfunctional Personality Hurt Your Career? Axis Ii Personality Disorders And Labor Market Outcomes, Michael T. French, Johanna Catherine Maclean, Susan L. Ettner
Does Having A Dysfunctional Personality Hurt Your Career? Axis Ii Personality Disorders And Labor Market Outcomes, Michael T. French, Johanna Catherine Maclean, Susan L. Ettner
Michael T. French
Despite recent interest in how psychiatric disorders affect work outcomes, little is known about the role of personality disorders (PDs), which are poorly understood yet prevalent (15%) and impairing. We used nationally representative data for 12,457 men and 16,061 women to examine associations of PDs with any employment, full-time employment, chronic unemployment, being fired or laid off, and having trouble with a boss or co-worker. Antisocial, paranoid, and obsessivecompulsive PDs demonstrated the broadest patterns of associations with adverse outcomes. Findings suggest that PDs may have implications for the productivity of co-workers as well as that of the disordered employees themselves.
