The Term Structure Of Interest Rates And The Mexican Economy, Jorge Gonzalez, Roger Spencer, Daniel Walz Jun 2000

The Term Structure Of Interest Rates And The Mexican Economy, Jorge Gonzalez, Roger Spencer, Daniel Walz

Jorge Gonzalez

Can the yield spread, which has been found to predict with surprising accuracy the movement of key macroeconomic variables of developed countries, also predict such variables for a developing country experiencing economic turmoil? This article presents empirical results that suggest significant forecasting ability for the yield spread for segments of the Mexican economy during the 1995–1997 period of economic volatility. The actual and predicted variable changes sometimes conflict with those experienced by developed countries in part because of the unusually close relationship between the Mexican Treasury and the Banco de México. Consequently, analysts and policy officials may exploit the forecast …

Reclaiming Evolution: A Marxist-Institutionalist Dialogue On Social Change, Howard Sherman, William Dugger

HOWARD J SHERMAN

In this unique book, Howard Sherman and William M.Dugger engage in a dialogue on social evolution from Institutionalist and Marxist perspectives, each representing one side.

It …

Redefining Local Government Roles In Public Services: A Research‐Informed Process Model, Stacie Bosley Dec 1999

Redefining Local Government Roles In Public Services: A Research‐Informed Process Model, Stacie Bosley

Stacie Bosley

County officials in the seven-county metropolitan area of the State of Minnesota's Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul were seeking to redefine county roles in service delivery. This article reports on a process model that was piloted on two services. The model was commissioned by officials; was based upon and informed by literature and comparative experience; began with an examination of functions performed; involved participants in focusing the study; was context-focused; and involved local stakeholders in projecting the implications of alternative county roles. These characteristics complicated the research management process because the process took more time, involved more actors, …
