Greek-Turkish Dilemmas And The Cyprus-Eu Accession Process, Neophytos Loizides
Greek-Turkish Dilemmas And The Cyprus-Eu Accession Process, Neophytos Loizides
Neophytos Loizides
Greek–Turkish Dilemmas and the Cyprus EU Accession Process NEOPHYTOS G. LOIZIDES* Department of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada This article compares the processes of foreign policymaking in Greece and Turkey in order to examine why the incentives and pressures of the enlargement process have failed until now to initiate a settlement in the Cyprus bicommunal negotiations. While most studies on the Cyprus problem have focused on the two communities of the island, little at-tention has been paid to the policies of the two ‘motherlands’, namely Greece and Turkey. Yet their leverage on the two Cypriot communities and their conflicting …
Growth Of Government And The Politics Of Fiscal Policy, Chetan Ghate, Paul J. Zak
Growth Of Government And The Politics Of Fiscal Policy, Chetan Ghate, Paul J. Zak
Chetan Ghate
US government expenditures increased rapidly during the post-war period, then slowed in the 1980s and began falling in 1992. To examine the dynamics of the growth and subsequent reduction in government spending, we present a general equilibrium growth model in which politicians chose government spending to maximize support by their constituents. That is, output and government spending are endogenous and jointly determined. The model predicts that government expenditures will initially mimic Wagner’s law—the tendency for government spending to increase with GDP—but eventually diverge from output due to the growth of the welfare state. After government expenditures become large, we identify …
Imported Capital Dependency As An Economic Development Strategy: The Failure Of Distortionary Tax Policies In Puerto Rico, Joseph Pelzman
Imported Capital Dependency As An Economic Development Strategy: The Failure Of Distortionary Tax Policies In Puerto Rico, Joseph Pelzman
Joseph Pelzman
The use of tax holidays and other financial incentives designed to attract foreign investment is an old development strategy which like a magic pill has substantial negative side effects. There are many factors that influence the flow of investment across borders. An increase in the rate of return as exemplified by a deferral of taxes is but one factor among many including, but not limited to, the quality of host location infrastructure, the human capital of the participating labor force, the state of health care provision, the state of telecommunication coverage, etc., that enter a multinational’s decision tree and determine …

Observations On The Aboriginal Remains In Eastern New Jersey: The Notebook Of Charles F. Woolley, 1878-1881, Megan E. Springate
Observations On The Aboriginal Remains In Eastern New Jersey: The Notebook Of Charles F. Woolley, 1878-1881, Megan E. Springate
Megan E. Springate
Charles F. Woolley was a school teacher and avocational archaeologist in New Jersey in the late nineteenth century. One of his notebooks, which survives in a local history repository, includes details of his collection, which was largely prehistoric. Information from the notebook was used to identify site locations, and to track down several artifacts that Woolley had donated. I have removed specific site location information from this publicly available version of the conference paper.

Dr. Gülgün YILDIZ TIRYAKI
Gülgün Yildiz a, b, Randy L. Wehling*,a, and Susan L. Cuppett a a: Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska 68583-0919, and b: Olive Culture Research Institute, Universite Cd. No. 43, Bornova/Izmir, Turkey 3500. NIR spectroscopy was used successfully in our laboratory to monitor oxidation levels in vegetable oils. Calibration models were developed to measure PV in both soy and corn oils, using partial least squares (PLS) regression and forward stepwise multiple linear regression, from NIR transmission spectra. PV can be measured successfully in both corn and soy oils using a single calibration. The most successful …

The Return Of The Long-Run Phillips Curve, Liam Graham, Dennis Snower
The Return Of The Long-Run Phillips Curve, Liam Graham, Dennis Snower
Dennis Snower
This paper shows that the interaction between money growth and staggered nominal contracts gives rise to a long-run inflation-unemployment tradeoff.
An Anatomy Of The Phillips Curve, Marika Karanassou, Hector Sala, Dennis Snower
An Anatomy Of The Phillips Curve, Marika Karanassou, Hector Sala, Dennis Snower
Dennis Snower
The paper examines how the long-run inflation-unemployment tradeoff depends on the degree to which wage-price decisions are backward- versus forward-looking. When economic agents, facing time-contingent, staggered nominal contracts, have a positive rate of time preference, the current wage and price levels depend more heavily on past variables (e.g. past wages and prices) than on future variables. Consequently, the long-run Phillips curve becomes downward-sloping and, indeed, quit flat for plausible parameter values. This paper provides an intuitive account of how this long-run Phillips curve arises.

Newspaper Management In Nigerian University Libraries: A Case Of Federal University Of Technology Owerri(Futo) Library, Chinwe Veronica Anunobi Dr, Carol N. Okorafor
Newspaper Management In Nigerian University Libraries: A Case Of Federal University Of Technology Owerri(Futo) Library, Chinwe Veronica Anunobi Dr, Carol N. Okorafor
Chinwe Veronica Anunobi Dr
The work discusses the management of newspapers in Nigerian university libraries with reference to the Library of the Federal University of Technology Owerri. It notes that newspapers are acquired by subscription through a well-established vendor or directly from the publishers. Political, economic, social and intellectual problems hinder the continuous subscription of newspapers. The processing of newspaper involves stamping and recording using standard forms and registers or loose sheets. Such processing requires adequate work surface. Newspapers are made available for use on display racks or newspaper folders while articles are located using in-housed developed indexes. The preservation of newspapers poses some …

Unions, Bargaining And Strikes, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Unions, Bargaining And Strikes, Peter Cramton, Joseph Tracy
Peter Cramton
Labor disputes are an intriguing feature of the landscape of industrialized economies. Economists have had a long-standing interest in formulating a framework for understanding and analyzing labor disputes. The development of noncooperative bargaining theory provided the tools for a theory of collective bargaining and labor disputes. A general aim of this theoretical development is to inform policy makers of the efficiency and equity effects associated with different labor laws and institutions that govern and shape the collective bargaining process. While this new literature is still evolving, it can already offer many insights into the interplay between policy and the bargaining …

"Commercial Websites And The Use Of Classification Schemes: The Case Of Amazon.Com." In Lopez-Huertas, Maria J. Challenges In Knowledge Representation And Organization For The 21st Century: Integration Of Knowledge Across Boundaries., Barbara H. Kwasnik
Barbara H. Kwasnik
The structure and use of the classification for books on the Amazon.com website are described and analyzed. The contents of this large website are changing constantly and the access mechanisms have the main purpose of enabling searchers to find books for purchase. This includes finding books the searcher knows about at the start of the research, as well as those that might present themselves in the course of searching and that are related in some way. Underlying the many access paths to books is a classification scheme comprising a rich network of terms in an enumerative and multihierarchical structure.

Labour-Market Effects Of Intra-Industry Trade: Evidence For The United Kingdom, Marius Brulhart, Robert J.R. Elliott
Labour-Market Effects Of Intra-Industry Trade: Evidence For The United Kingdom, Marius Brulhart, Robert J.R. Elliott
Robert J R Elliott
According to the “smooth adjustment hypothesis”, the labour-market adjustment costs entailed by trade liberalisation are lower if trade expansion is intra-industry rather than inter-industry in nature. In this paper, we study the link between trade and labour market changes in UK manufacturing industries during the 1980s. We use industry-level measures of unemployment duration and wage variability as proxies for adjustment costs, and we relate them to various measures of intra-industry trade. Our evidence offers some support for the smooth adjustment hypothesis.
Demand Reduction And Inefficiency In Multi-Unit Auctions, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Demand Reduction And Inefficiency In Multi-Unit Auctions, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Peter Cramton
Auctions typically involve the sale of many related goods. Treasury, spectrum and electricity auctions are examples. In auctions where bidders pay the market-clearing price for items won, large bidders have an incentive to reduce demand in order to pay less for their winnings. This incentive creates an inefficiency in multiple-item auctions. Large bidders reduce demand for additional items and so sometimes lose to smaller bidders with lower values. We demonstrate this inefficiency in an auction model which allows interdependent values. We also establish that the ranking of the uniform-price and pay-as-bid auctions is ambiguous in both revenue and efficiency terms. …

Planificar En El Ecuador: Utopía O Realidad, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Se ha criticado a la planificación en el Ecuador por "centralista", "tecnocrática", "normativa" y hasta "utópica"; sin embargo, se la sigue añorando y como paradigma se sitúa los ingentes esfuerzos de planificación de las décadas de los setenta y ochenta, que se expresaron en propuestas de largo y mediano plazo, y en proyectos de incuestionable impacto socio económico, orientados a satisfacer las necesidades de la sociedad.
