The Nexus Of Human Capital And Governance, Ishrat Husain Dr. Sep 2013

The Nexus Of Human Capital And Governance, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

Pakistan’s popular economic discourse has been rightly focused on short-run problems. Will we be able to end load-shedding in the country? Will the IMF agreement cause more hardships than benefits to the people? Will the inflation rate begin to rise again? Will the rupee keep on tumbling? These are legitimate questions that need to be addressed. The government of the day also devotes its attention towards these problems as the test of their success lies in finding solution to these issues.

Neglected due to this pre-occupation with short-term problems are the issues that will impinge upon the future of this …


Sound And The Moving Image:Critical Characteristics For Spectator Response, Kara Rader, Rafeeq I. Roberts, Matt Egizii, Jeffery Allen Sep 2013

Sound And The Moving Image:Critical Characteristics For Spectator Response, Kara Rader, Rafeeq I. Roberts, Matt Egizii, Jeffery Allen

Undergraduate Research Posters 2013

The prevailing wisdom in the film and video production industries is that audio information outweighs visual information when it comes to spectator responses, but there are few empirical studies to support this claim. In previous research, four critical characteristics of sound have been identified: (1) Music, (2) visual/sound contradictions (defined as sound that is inconsistent with audience expectations based on visual information), (3) multi-channel sound, and (4) sound quality. Building on our previous research into music and film, we have found that many researchers have looked into the question of how music affects emotions (Eschrich et al., 2008; Have, 2008; …

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: September 20, 2013, Eric Thompson, William Walstad, Shannon Mcclure, Mihdi Vahedi

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

The Leading Economic Indicator – Nebraska (LEI-N) rose by 0.54% during August 2013. The increase in the LEI-N, which predicts economic growth in the state six months in the future, signals that the Nebraska economy will grow over the remainder of the year and in early 2014. Growth, however, will be modest rather than robust. Components of the leading indicator showed mixed signs of growth during August. Two of the six components weakened during the month. Single-family building permits declined during August while initial unemployment claims rose. However, airline passenger counts rose during August on a seasonally-adjusted basis. Manufacturing hours …

Exploring The Tools Of Wilderness Therapy, Bridger Jensen, Dr. Keith Barney Sep 2013

Exploring The Tools Of Wilderness Therapy, Bridger Jensen, Dr. Keith Barney

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Studies indicate that wilderness therapy programs have remarkable success in promoting positive behavioral changes, particularly among adolescent populations. Such positive change can be found through measuring family relations, drugs and alcohol abuse, success in school work, and social/emotional behavior. After conducting an extensive literature review on wilderness therapy, it was not possible to identify what aspects of wilderness therapy are the most therapeutic and make these programs successful. The purpose of this study is to identify these elements and compile them into a solidified definition of wilderness therapy.

Awesome Responsibility Of Leadership (Newport, Va), C. William Pollard Sep 2013

Awesome Responsibility Of Leadership (Newport, Va), C. William Pollard

C. William Pollard Papers

Speaking at Christopher Newport University (Newport, VA), Pollard outlines his vision of leadership, arguing that the exercise of true leadership can never be divorced from questions of faith. This is because leadership is fundamentally about character development. When exercised in a servant-like manner it has the ability to create an organization that is as much a moral community as it is a profit-oriented institution.

The Hidden Stem Economy: The Surprising Diversity Of Jobs Requiring Science, Technology, Engineering, And Math Knowledge, Jonathan Rothwell Sep 2013

The Hidden Stem Economy: The Surprising Diversity Of Jobs Requiring Science, Technology, Engineering, And Math Knowledge, Jonathan Rothwell

Brookings Scholar Lecture Series

Policy and businesses leaders have argued that there is a shortage of highly educated workers in professional occupations related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Critics have countered that Ph.D scientists often face a difficult academic labor market and do not necessarily earn higher wages than other professionals. Yet, both sides of the STEM debate have been relying on an ill-defined definition of STEM work. Using a detailed survey of worker knowledge requirements, this research project redefines STEM jobs based on the level of knowledge required in STEM fields to perform occupations. The results uncover two facts previously unrecognized …

An Economist's View Of The Commerce Clause, John H. Beck Sep 2013

An Economist's View Of The Commerce Clause, John H. Beck

Economics Faculty Scholarship

In the course of this lecture, I will review how the courts have interpreted the commerce clause. I will also express an opinion – what might be called a “strict interpretation” – about how the commerce clause ought to be interpreted from a legal standpoint, although as an economist I have no professional expertise to do so. However, as an economist I do have expertise in analyzing what economists refer to as “market failures,” situations in which free markets may fail to achieve a theoretical ideal allocation of resources and government intervention may lead to a better outcome. Economists have …
