The Role Of Real Exchange Rate On Output And Trade Balance: Evidence From Ethiopia, Daniel Getachew Ayele Jan 2007

The Role Of Real Exchange Rate On Output And Trade Balance: Evidence From Ethiopia, Daniel Getachew Ayele

Masters Theses

This paper examines the role of exchange rates in determining the trade balance and output behavior for Ethiopia. Conventional wisdom says that a real devaluation improves the trade balance and has an expansionary impact on output.

This paper attempts to find evidence for these conditions.

Service Learning In Medical Education: Project Description And Evaluation, Nicole J. Borges, Paul J. Hartung Jan 2007

Service Learning In Medical Education: Project Description And Evaluation, Nicole J. Borges, Paul J. Hartung

Service Learning, General

Although medical education has long recognized the importance of community service, most medical schools have not formally nor fully incorporated service learning into their curricula. To address this problem, we describe the initial design, development, implementation, and evaluation of a service-learning project within a first-year medical school course. Medical students (eight women, eight men) screened clients of a community agency for high blood pressure and educated them about the effects of hypertension on health. Results of the project indicated significant increases in students' attitudes, knowledge, and skills related to community health, resources, and service. Infusing medical education with service-learning activities …

Effective Foreign Aid, Economic Integration And Subsidiarity: Lessons From Europe, Abdur Chowdhury, Paolo Garonna

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

The paper shows that the question that is relevant for the debate on the efficacy of development assistance is not so much as an issue of how much, but rather for what. In view of the growing awareness of ODA’s inefficiency in achieving intended aims, this paper proposes an alternative approach to development assistance policies – economic integration and subsidiarity provides the conditions necessary for ODA to produce higher rates of economic growth on a sustainable basis. Europe is an excellent case in point, in this context. Europe has in the last decades experienced a number of success stories in …
