Macroeconomic Impact Of The Financial Crisis On Armenia, King Banaian
Macroeconomic Impact Of The Financial Crisis On Armenia, King Banaian
Economics Faculty Working Papers
As a small, open economy with a small export sector, Armenia has experienced a large amount of stress from the financial crisis. The government exited a peg-like exchange rate regime after a drain of foreign reserves. The loss of reserves was put to loss of revenues from mining exports, but can also be put to the effects of global financial crisis on remittance inflows. Worldwide, the World Bank expects remittances to fall from US$305 billion in 2008 to $290 billion in 2009. In this paper I explore the effect of global crisis on the loss of reserves supporting the monetary …

Resolving The Anti-Antievolutionism Dilemma: A Brief For Relational Evolutionary Thinking In Anthropology, Emily Schultz
Resolving The Anti-Antievolutionism Dilemma: A Brief For Relational Evolutionary Thinking In Anthropology, Emily Schultz
Anthropology Faculty Publications
Anthropologists often disagree about whether, or in what ways, anthropology is “evolutionary.” Anthropologists defending accounts of primate or human biological development and evolution that conflict with mainstream “neo-Darwinian” thinking have sometimes been called “creationists” or have been accused of being “antiscience.” As a result, many cultural anthropologists struggle with an “anti-antievolutionism” dilemma: they are more comfortable opposing the critics of evolutionary biology, broadly conceived, than they are defending mainstream evolutionary views with which they disagree. Evolutionary theory, however, comes in many forms. Relational evolutionary approaches such as Developmental Systems Theory, niche construction, and autopoiesis–natural drift augment mainstream evolutionary thinking in …

Bullying Or Mobbing: Is It Happening In Your Academic Library?, Susan Hubbs Motin
Bullying Or Mobbing: Is It Happening In Your Academic Library?, Susan Hubbs Motin
Library Faculty Publications
The behaviors of bullying and mobbing have only begun to rise in the public’s awareness or towards the legal standing of harassment. But, like harassment, bullying and mobbing can lead to the same results for employees: a loss of dignity, self-confidence and productivity, as well as an excessive amount of non-work related stress and other related health issues. Unfortunately, librarians, media specialists and other who work in libraries and information centers can also experience bullying and mobbing. It is important for people who work in libraries and information centers to understand bullying and mobbing, and toward that end this article …

Loving The Longshot: Risk Taking With Skewed Gambles, Philip Grossman, Catherine Eckel
Loving The Longshot: Risk Taking With Skewed Gambles, Philip Grossman, Catherine Eckel
Economics Seminar Series
To examine the effect of increased skewness on risk taking, we conduct controlled laboratory experiments. Our instrument is an adaption of the Eckel and Grossman (2002, 2008) risk measure (with six gamble choices). The Eckel and Grossman measure is a simplest, easy to understand, exercise that gives sufficient heterogeneity in choices while at the same time minimizing errors. Its simplicity also makes it easy to adapt. The adapted gamble choices are designed to have the same expected payoffs and risk as the original gamble choices, but to exhibit increasing degrees of right skewness. The adapted instrument is used to address …

Ethical Thinking And Practice For Parent And Family Life Educators, Ethics Committee Of The Minnesota Council On Family Relations, Glen F. Palm
Ethical Thinking And Practice For Parent And Family Life Educators, Ethics Committee Of The Minnesota Council On Family Relations, Glen F. Palm
Child and Family Studies Faculty Publications
Parent and family life educators face difficult ethical issues on a daily basis. These issues may include observing parenting practices that may be harmful to children, responding to parent remarks about their partners, or sharing information about a family with a professional in another agency. Some of these situations may be resolved by reviewing general principles of good practice with a colleague, while others may reveal a true ethical dilemma.
Parent and family life educators are working with complex family systems, diverse belief and value systems, and a variety of social institutions and agencies. Many face these issues in relative …
