Geography, Industrial Organization, And Agglomeration Heteroskedasticity Models With Estimates Of The Variances Of Foreign Exchange Rates, Chihwa Kao
Center for Policy Research
This paper proposes a robust estimation procedure, the bounded influence estimate (BIS), which is robust against departure from the conditional normality of the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models to describe the behavior of exchange rates. First, the BIE identifies the additive outliers (AO, e.g., Fox 1972) caused by abnormal information arrivals which may be triggered by changes in domestic policies and international shocks. Identification of outliers allows us to analyze the major economic and political factors that contribute directly to the dramatic changes in exchange rates. Second, the performance of the BIE is compared with the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) …

Accommodating The Public Sphere: Beyond The Market Model, Nan D. Hunter
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This Essay has two major components. First, in Parts I and II, I describe and critique the Court's opinion in Dale, beginning with an examination of the social origins of scouting, then proceeding to an analysis of Dale. Second, in Parts III and IV, I place the questions raised in Dale in another context in which they belong but are seldom analyzed, that of the jurisprudence of public accommodations laws . . . In conclusion, I join the two major themes by framing Dale's claim as the latest in a series of cases that have invoked an evolving understanding of …
The Power Of Suggestion: Inertia In 401k Participation And Savings Behavior, Brigitte C. Madrian, Dennis F. Shea
The Power Of Suggestion: Inertia In 401k Participation And Savings Behavior, Brigitte C. Madrian, Dennis F. Shea
Faculty Publications
In this paper, we analyze the 401(k) savings behavior of employees in a large U.S. corporation before and after an interesting change in the company 401(k) plan. Before the plan change, employees were required to affirmatively elect participation in the 401(k) plan. After the plan change, employees were automatically and immediately enrolled in the 401(k) plan unless they made a negative election to opt out of the plan. Although none of the economic features of the plan changed, this switch to automatic enrollment dramatically changed the savings behavior of employees. We have two key findings. First, 401(k) participation is significantly …
Cultural Preservation In The Romansh Landscape: A Geography Of The Swiss -Romansh Movement., Erik George Prout
Cultural Preservation In The Romansh Landscape: A Geography Of The Swiss -Romansh Movement., Erik George Prout
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The research explores the cultural landscape of Romansh speakers in Switzerland. The fundamental question is whether small ethno-linguistic groups can create and protect a place (earthly and poetic) for their language to flourish. Swiss-Romansh have many advantages because of their political stability and economic prosperity. Their efforts in promoting and protecting the Romansh language offer a possible model for other culture groups. The research elucidates four distinct geographic scales: national (Switzerland's multilingual federalism), regional (alpine canton of Grischun/Graubunden), local Romansh villages (vinscnanca or communes), and an imaginary Rhactian ethnicity. I employ the term cultural preservation to discuss the Romansh situation. …
Analyzing Crime Spatial Patterns Using Remote Sensing And Geographical Information System Technologies: Investigating The Urban Opportunity Structure Model Of Jackson, Mississippi., Tian Wu
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Crime is a spatial phenomenon. This study has proposed an urban opportunity structure model to understand the spatial patterns associated with crime based on the opportunities defined by urban structure. Any site in an urban space presents crime opportunities; the crime probability at a site is determined by factors such as urban physical settings, the transportation network and land use types. The hypothesized model was tested through the approach of multi-scale spatial analyses comprised of units from precinct maps used by the Jackson Police Department. The scales were defined at different area aggregations. The first scale was set on individual …
Mapping Enredos Of Complex Spaces. A Regional Geography Of Olancho, Honduras., Mark Andrew Bonta
Mapping Enredos Of Complex Spaces. A Regional Geography Of Olancho, Honduras., Mark Andrew Bonta
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation is a regional geography of the department of Olancho in northeastern Honduras. It focuses on the enredos (entangled situations) that characterize geographic reality, particularly in the interlocked domains of nation-state priorities, local identities, rain forest conservation, and sustainable development. The overarching theoretical framework of this dissertation is the collaborative work of complexity theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The major theme running through "Mapping Enredos" is the multidimensional nature of spatiality (complex spaces), ground for human and non-human existence as well as source of endless conflicts. Fieldwork was undertaken from 1999 to 2000. Qualitative research methods employed include …
Protecting 'Place' In African -American Neighborhoods: Urban Public Space, Privatization, And Protest In Louis Armstrong Park And The Treme, New Orleans., Michael Eugene Crutcher Jr
Protecting 'Place' In African -American Neighborhoods: Urban Public Space, Privatization, And Protest In Louis Armstrong Park And The Treme, New Orleans., Michael Eugene Crutcher Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In the past fifteen years, urban scholars have increasingly studied "the end of public space." Central to their arguments are the thesis that these communal spaces, traditionally held by city governments and theoretically open for use by all citizens, are waning. Much of this space has become "privatized." Corporations and individuals often buy, renovate, and design such spaces either in conjunction with city programs or as part of their urban renewal, gentrification, and development plans. These plans often seek to exclude certain minority groups or target spaces in low-income communities. The process is largely driven by the present need for …
Language And Power In A Louisiana Murder Trial: Discourse Features In Witness Testimony., Kara Lynn Gibson
Language And Power In A Louisiana Murder Trial: Discourse Features In Witness Testimony., Kara Lynn Gibson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The literature concerning language, law, and power has traditionally focused on the linguistic strategies legal professionals employ for the purpose of controlling the speech of their clients and/or witnesses. However, newer research, stemming from gender-based theories of how power and/or powerlessness is manifest in language, promotes linguistic analyses from the perspective of the disempowered as opposed to the empowered, Such studies claim that speakers' election or avoidance of certain discourse features (e.g., hedges, hypercorrect forms, polite address forms, overlap, quotatives and gestures, etc.) and responses-types (e.g., declarative-context questions, copy responses, fragmented versus narrative responses, etc.) reflects their perceived power as …
The Influence Of Agricultural Policy On Economic Integration Among Central American Countries: A Game Theoretic Analysis., Jorge Luis Icabalceta Mairena
The Influence Of Agricultural Policy On Economic Integration Among Central American Countries: A Game Theoretic Analysis., Jorge Luis Icabalceta Mairena
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The influence of eight commodity groups on international economic integration in five Central American countries are analyzed. The commodity groups are rice, beans, corn, sorghum, bananas, coffee, sugar, and beef. The countries are Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. A game theory framework is used to find a Nash equilibrium solution to a set of trade negotiation scenarios. The payoffs of the Political Preference Function (PPF) are used for the trade liberalization scenarios under analysis. These PPF payoffs are estimated using the MISS model. The nominal protection coefficient (NPC) is used as the main criterion for trade liberalization. …
Teacher Education Reform And Accountability: A Study Of The Louisiana Blue Ribbon Commission On Teacher Quality., Patricia Ann Davis Exner
Teacher Education Reform And Accountability: A Study Of The Louisiana Blue Ribbon Commission On Teacher Quality., Patricia Ann Davis Exner
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study describes Louisiana's 1999--2000 Blue Ribbon Commission on Teacher Quality, focusing primarily on Commission proceedings and the evolution of its recommendations within a context of standards-based teacher education reform history. Employing case study methodology contextualized in historical and ethnographic narrative, this nine month study examined policy recommendations for Louisiana's teacher education programs that resulted from Commission meetings. Aims of the study included describing the development of these recommendations, their relation to national teacher education reform movements, and their potential impact on university teacher preparation programs. The research provides not only documentation of Commission proceedings of some historical value, but …
Natural History And Phytogeography Of The Loess Hills And Ravines, Lower Mississippi Embayment., Igor Igorevich Ignatov
Natural History And Phytogeography Of The Loess Hills And Ravines, Lower Mississippi Embayment., Igor Igorevich Ignatov
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Although located near the middle of the Southeastern Coastal Plain, the hardwood forests of the Loess Hills of the Lower Mississippi Embayment have never been thoroughly studied or satisfactorily described in the literature. This dissertation is a case study of the biogeographic variation in the species composition and structure of the mature ravine hardwood forests within the southern section of the Loess Hills, from Warren County, Mississippi, south to East Baton Rouge and Vermilion Parishes, Louisiana, as affected by latitude, physiography, edaphic conditions, and disturbance. A parallel goal is, on the basis of the current biogeographic conditions and successional dynamics, …
Wavelet Analysis And Classification Of Urban Environment Using High -Resolution Multispectral Image Data., Soe Win Myint
Wavelet Analysis And Classification Of Urban Environment Using High -Resolution Multispectral Image Data., Soe Win Myint
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Attempts to analyze urban features and classify land use and land cover directly from high-resolution satellite data with traditional computer classification techniques have proven to be inefficient. The fundamental problem usually found in identifying urban land cover types from high-resolution satellite imagery is that urban areas are composed of diverse materials (metal, glass, concrete, asphalt, plastic, trees, soil, etc.). These materials, each of which may have completely different spectral characteristics, are combined in complex ways by human beings. Hence, each urban land cover type may contain several different objects with different reflectance values. Noisy appearance with lots of edges, and …

The Extent Of Awareness Of Tesol's Esl Standards For Pre-K-12 Students In Intensive English Programs In The United States, Alan D. Lytle
The Extent Of Awareness Of Tesol's Esl Standards For Pre-K-12 Students In Intensive English Programs In The United States, Alan D. Lytle
Theses and Dissertations
With the publication of TESOL's ESL Standards for Pre-K-12 Students in 1997, there was established a format by which to standardize English language learner progress with defined goals, standards, descriptors, and sample progress indicators. School districts throughout the United States began redesigning their curricula to address English Language Learners' needs by using the Standards. However, Intensive English Programs (IEPs) do not have a set of standards that includes their populations. This dissertation was designed to investigate the level of awareness of the Standards in IEPs in the United States, focusing specifically on establishing the extent to which TESOL's ESL Standards …

Alma O. Taylor's Fact-Finding Mission To China, Reid L. Neilson
Alma O. Taylor's Fact-Finding Mission To China, Reid L. Neilson
BYU Studies
In 1909, after serving as a mission president in Japan for eight years, native Utah Mormon Alma O. Taylor visited China as directed by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to determine if Mormon missionaries should be sent there. Taylor did not speak Chinese, so he drew his conclusions by speaking to native English speakers living in China, often Protestant missionaries. Excerpts of Taylor's original report are published here, revealing some of the prejudices and perspectives Westerners had regarding China in the early 1900s. The author also supplies historical information about Mormon missionary work in Japan …
A Clean & Healthy Environment: The Barriers & Limitations Of This Emerging Human Right, Erin Eacott
A Clean & Healthy Environment: The Barriers & Limitations Of This Emerging Human Right, Erin Eacott
Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies
A human right to a healthy environment needs to be advocated by states, non-government organisations and the public. It can be argued that a human right to a healthy environment has slowly been emerging in international law over the past 20 years, but whether this right will ever become solidified in international law is not yet clear. A human right to a healthy environment needs to be advocated because it is an essential prerequisite to the fulfillment of many fundamental human rights, such as the rights to life, culture, liberty and security of the person, and an adequate standard of …
