Determinants Of Export Growth In Transition Economy Firms: Instituions, Aspirations, Incentives, And Inertia, George Shinkle, Aldas Kriauciunas

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Exports are an important source of revenue, especially in transitional economies. To better understand export growth, we examine the influence of institutional development, managerial aspirations, private ownership, firm size, and age with a sample of Central and East European firms. We find that institutions affect export growth through their interaction with firm size and age, though in opposite ways. Also, while the impact of private ownership is conditional on the level of institutional development, managerial aspirations support export growth across all institutional environments examined. These results indicate the importance of institutions and their limits when behavioral factors are considered.

Sugar-Enhanced Sweet Corn Cultivar Evaluation For Northern Indiana, 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports

"The Indiana Agricultural Statistics Service reported sweet corn for fresh market sales was harvested from 5,200 acres in Indiana in 2006 and had a total value of $7.6 million. Sweet corn fields are located throughout the state. In northern Indiana, bicolor corn is most commonly grown. Varieties with improved eating quality are of interest to both producers and consumers. Producers are also interested in yield, ear size, appearance, and agronomic characteristics. This paper reports on 11 sugar enhanced and synergistic sweet corn cultivars that were evaluated at the Pinney-Purdue Agricultural Center in Wanatah, Indiana."

Pumpkin Cultivar Observation Trial, Indiana 2007, Elizabeth T. Maynard

Purdue Fruit and Vegetable Research Reports

"Pumpkins for decorative use are grown on more than 4,000 acres in Indiana. Combined acreage in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio represents about a quarter of pumpkins grown for decorative use in the United States. Successful pumpkin production requires the use of cultivars that yield well and produce pumpkins of the size, shape, color, and quality demanded by the market. There is keen interest in cultivars that also show resistance to powdery mildew. This trial was conducted to observe the performance of jack-o-lantern, pie, and mini-pumpkin cultivars in northern Indiana."

Different Histories But Similar Genetic Diversity And Structure For Black Walnut In Indiana And Missouri, Erin R. Victory, Jeffrey C. Glaubitz, Jennifer A. Fike, Olin E. Rhodes Jr., Keith E. Woeste

Department of Forestry & Natural Resources Faculty Publications

—Missouri and Indiana have markedly different histories of glaciation and recolonization by forest trees. These states also differ in land use patterns and degree of anthropogenic landscape change such as forest fragmentation. To determine the overall effects of these and other demographic differences on the levels of genetic diversity and structure in black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) more than 550 total black walnut trees from nine populations in Indiana and 10 in Missouri were sampled and analyzed using 12 nuclear microsatellite loci. Although genetic diversity parameters such as allelic richness and expected heterozygosity were high overall, they varied little among …

Bridge Maintenance Survey For Indiana Counties, Indiana Ltap

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

The objective of this report is to summarize the current bridge maintenance practices of the different counties within Indiana. This information is intended to help others understand which maintenance practices seem to be working and what does not seem to work. Further, this report will be used to assess the need for specialized training and information courses to be offered through the Indiana LT AP office.

Of the all of the Indiana counties surveyed, a total of 50 responses were received. The data contained within this report is based upon the number of responses received.

The basic findings of this …

Tutoring Is Real: The Benefits Of The Peer Tutor Experience For Future English Educators, Janet Alsup, Tammy S. Conard-Salvo, Scott J. Peters

Purdue Writing Lab/Purdue OWL Publications

In this article, an English education professor, a university writing center administrator, and a recent graduate of an undergraduate English education program discuss the role peer tutoring might play in enhancing the education of preservice teachers of writing. The authors argue that by providing additional, authentic field experiences which reflect constructivist, student-centered philosophies often adhered to in English education programs, university peer tutoring can provide undergraduate students with authentic experience in learning collaboratively, developing rapport with students, and conducting student-centered, one-to-one writing conferences.

Listening To Revise: Mainstream Uses Of Text-To-Speech Software In The Writing Center, Tammy Conard-Salvo, John M. Spartz

Purdue Writing Lab/Purdue OWL Presentations

This presentation from the 2008 Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) offers results from an a study of text-to-speech software in a writing center and explores the effect that writing centers and tutors have on students’ use of and attitudes toward technology and writing. Initial results confirm our hypothesis that Kurzweil’s text-to-speech features provides considerable benefit to students, and that students identified additional errors during the revision and editing stages of writing than during revision done independently.
