Excess And The Internet At The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Is there anyone alive in the United States today who does not know that the Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday? It is Super Bowl XXXVI, thirty-six in real numbers, and will be played in what should be the permanent home of the Super Bowl, New Orleans. There is no venue more appropriate, save perhaps Vegas, for this mid-winter festival of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous waste, not be mention decadence, in these high holy days of the American Empire.

Bankruptcy Law, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

I would like to commend the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and its President, Mr. Iftikhar Ali Malik for organizing this Seminar. I consider this as a paradigm shift from the traditional way of the FPCCI presenting a Charter of demands to visiting government officials towards a joint collaborative way of solving practical problems facing the industry. This seminar represents an excellent initiative to explore an issue, which is of utmost significance for the business community. The State Bank has engaged in a continuous consultative process with the business leaders, exporters associations, chambers etc. We have …

Capriati's Comeback Capped At The Australian Open - Ty Tryon's Meltdown, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was just a year ago that Jennifer Capriati completed her remarkable and inspiring comeback with a victory in the Australian Open. She went on to win the French Open last year, her second grand slam victory, in what was certainly her best year of tennis since the early days before she hit the wall and her career disintegrated.

The Unwritten Rules Of Nba Officiating: When Will Mark Cuban Learn, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

As Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban goes off to manage a Dairy Queen today it is a reminder not only of his insult of NBA referees but of three basic facts of American life. First, it takes no particular intelligence to become a billionaire. Second, some people have way too much money. And third, it is an absolutely futile exercise to criticize the referees in the National Basketball Association.

Developing Sme Sector In Pakistan, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

The diagnosis of the problems afflicting the SME sector in Pakistan is very well established by now. The papers delivered at this seminar have presented both the qualitative and quantitative data and information about the existing contribution and future potential of the sector. The Government policy and priority to SMEs have been reiterated by the Chief Executive in his address on December 16, 1999. The key support institutions such as SME Bank and SMEDA have been restructured. It is now high time that we should move from the phase of analysis and diagnosis to action that can spur small and …

Comments By Governor State Bank Of Pakistan On The Paper Debt, Growth, Poverty In International Monetary System, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

I agree with Prof. Mundell that economic theory does suggest that the best monetary system would involve the use of a single currency. The idea of the existence of money is to facilitate exchange and thus a single unit of account and medium of exchange is preferable over several such units. A single currency also reduces the transaction costs, search costs, computational costs and thus enhances the efficiency of resource use. On this basis, it is safe to deduce that the justification for a system of national currencies freely convertible at fixed exchange rate is self-evident. Empirically, the European Union …

Beaten To Death On Ice: Out Of Control Parents And Youth Sports, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

On Friday forty-four year old Thomas Junta was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Costin on July 5, 2000 in the Boston suburb of Reading. This piece of news is nothing extraordinary as similar items can be found in most daily newspapers across the country once or twice a year. What made this case of extraordinary interest across America, put it on Court TV, and attracted extensive coverage on the 24/7 news channels was the particular setting and circumstances of the case.

David Zang's Sportswars: A Review, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Every now and then I read a book that for some reason strikes a particular chord with me. This doesn't make it a great book, but for me it is an important book because it evokes significant emotional or intellectual responses. When that happens I generally tell everyone I know that they need to read this new book.

Steve Spurrier Resigns, Dennis Green Fired, Ty Williamham Hired - More Bcs, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If the first few days of the New Year there are many indications 2002 could turn out to be much more than simply a palindromic delight. The seismic rumblings out of Gainesville, Florida yesterday overshadowed the Category Five Hurricane that swept from California to Nebraska on Thursday. The totally unexpected resignation by Steve Spurrier as Gator football coach would easily have overshadowed such an action by the governor of the state, and perhaps even that of the governor's brother. It has been front-page news across Florida for two days now, and local television news has been overrun by this story …

Oak Woodland Economics: A Contingent Valuation Of Conversion Alternatives, Richard P. Thompson, Jay E. Noel, Sarah P. Cross

Agribusiness

Decisions on how much land should be devoted to oak woodland preservation is ultimately determined by society's valuation of its benefits and relative scarcity. Scarcity value can be measured by people's willingness-to-pay (WTP) to prevent oak woodland conversion to higher value land uses. In this study, we used the contingent valuation (CV) method to estimate WTP for oak woodland preservation in San Luis Obispo County (over 700,000 acres). Estimates ranged between $75 and $83 per voter, providing only about $12 million for land or easement purchases.

Perceptions Of Job Satisfaction In An Icf/Mr Environment, Jeffrey Shrewsbury

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This paper examines the relationship between perceived communication between employees, their supervisor, and the effect of perceived communication on overall job satisfaction of the employee in an ICF/MR environment. The paper also examines the length of time in a particular job and the potential effects of time as a predictor of overall job satisfaction. Benefits and communication are also examined in an attempt to determine which of the two makes the better predictor of overall job satisfaction for employees working in an ICF/MR environment. The subjects examined came from respondents to an employee attitude survey conducted by a large provider …

The Incidence Of Agricultural Policy, Julian M. Alston, Jennifer S. James

Agribusiness

This chapter first discusses what economists mean by "the incidence of agricultural policy" and why we care about it. Then it reviews models of the determinants of the differential incidence of different policies among interest groups such as suppliers of factors of production, consumers, middlemen, taxpayers, and others. Results are represented in terms of Marshallian economic surplus, and surplus transformation curves. After reviewing the results from standard models under restrictive assumptions, certain assumptions are relaxed in order to analyze the effects of imperfect supply controls, variability, cheating and imperfect enforcement of policies, and the dynamics of supply.

The Meaning Of Property Rights: Law Versus Economics? , Daniel H. Cole, Peter Z. Grossman

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Property rights are fundamentals to economic analysis. There is, however, no consensus in the economic literature about what property rights are. Economists define them variously and inconsistently, sometimes in ways that deviate from the conventional understandings of legal scholars and judges. This article explores ways in which definitions of property rights in the economic literature diverge from conventional legal understandings, and how those divergences can create interdisciplinary confusion and bias economic analyses. Indeed, some economists' idiosyncratic definitions of property rights, if used to guide policy, could lead to suboptimal economic outcomes.

Internet Radio: Identifying Administrative And Regulatory Gaps In A Cyberspace World Without Borders, Linda-Marie Sundstrom

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this paper is to identify gaps in regulatory policies resulting from the emergence of Internet radio. To accomplish this purpose, the paper seeks to: 1) provide insights into agencies that may have direct involvement in potentially regulating Internet radio; 2) explore the concepts of jurisdiction in cyberspace; and 3) address the regulatory challenges that exist when traditional country borders no longer apply.
