Narrative Analysis Of Sexual Etiquette In Teenage Magazines, Ana C. Garner, Helen M. Sterk, Shawn Adams
Narrative Analysis Of Sexual Etiquette In Teenage Magazines, Ana C. Garner, Helen M. Sterk, Shawn Adams
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Expanding on existing research on women's magazines, this essay examines the sexual etiquette developed in advice columns in magazines popular among teenage women. Over a span of 20 years, the advice has changed very little. Serving the rhetorical function of field guides and training manuals, teen magazines limit women's sociality and sexuality within narrowly defined heterosexual norms and practices. The rhetoric of sexual etiquette encourages young women to be sex objects and teachers of interpersonal communication rather than lovers, friends, and partners. Young women are being taught to subordinate self for others and to be contained.

Age And Gender Differences In Body Attitudes: A Comparison Of Young And Elderly Adults, Stephen L. Franzoi, Virginia Koehler
Age And Gender Differences In Body Attitudes: A Comparison Of Young And Elderly Adults, Stephen L. Franzoi, Virginia Koehler
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
One hundred and thirty-two young adults (Mean = 19 years) and 142 elderly adults (Mean = 74 years) evaluated thirty-five different aspects of their own bodies. As hypothesized, elderly adults expressed less positive attitudes than young adults toward body items associated with body functioning (physical coordination, agility, sex drive, health). These differences are consistent with research indicating a progressive decline in bodily function efficiency with advancing age (Christofalo, 1988; Lakatta, 1990). Also as expected, the elderly held less positive attitudes toward body aspects associated with facial attractiveness (lips, appearance of eyes, cheek/cheekbones). These differences are in line with the structural …
Two-Country Models Of Monetary And Fiscal Policy: What Have We Learned? What More Can We Learn?, Joseph Daniels
Two-Country Models Of Monetary And Fiscal Policy: What Have We Learned? What More Can We Learn?, Joseph Daniels
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper surveys the literature that uses two-country models to analyze monetary and fiscal policy issues faced in interdependent economies. We discuss sources of structural interdependence that researchers typically include in these models. We describe many of the types of policy interactions that researchers have considered and summarize the key results that they have obtained. Finally, we briefly explain the limitations of two-country models and outline directions that this literature might usefully be extended.
Improving Local Manufacturing Employment Forecasts Using Cointegration Analysis, Steven E. Crane, Farrokh Nourzad
Improving Local Manufacturing Employment Forecasts Using Cointegration Analysis, Steven E. Crane, Farrokh Nourzad
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Procedures for tracking and forecasting economic conditions in regional economies have evolved significantly over the last 30 years. Much of this evolution has followed developments in macroeconomics, where techniques for tracking/forecasting key economic variables have tended to originate. This technique adoption and adaptation process continues today, as developments in the technique adoption and adaptation process continues today, as developments in the modeling of cointegrated macroeconomic time series have begun to appear in the regional modeling and forecasting literature. This paper presents an effort at modeling a segment of a regional economy using the cointegration testing procedures suggested by Johansen and …

Infrastructure Capital And Private Sector Productivity: A Dynamic Analysis, Farrokh Nourzad
Infrastructure Capital And Private Sector Productivity: A Dynamic Analysis, Farrokh Nourzad
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper examines the relationship between public capital and private sector productivity in the context of a dynamic framework that distinguishes long-run equilibrium relations from short-run disequilibrium values. Using annual data covering the 1948-1987 period we find that there is a stable long-run relationship among private sector productivity, private inputs of capital and labor, and core infrastructure capital. Public capital exerts a positive influence on private sector productivity along this path, although the effect is statistically significant only at low levels of confidence. On the other hand, there appears to be no discernible effect on productivity by core infrastructure capital …

Sraffa And Keynes: Differences And Shared Preconceptions, John B. Davis
Sraffa And Keynes: Differences And Shared Preconceptions, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
The relationship between the thinking and work of Sraffa and Keynes is complex and controversial. This paper approaches it initially through an investigation of their respective interpretations of their predecessors, the classical economics and Marshall. Keynes is argued to have misinterpreted the classicals on Say's Law largely on account of his having accepting Marshall's continuity conception of the relation of classical to neoclassical economics. Sraffa's understanding of classical economics as being rooted in a different conception of value and distribution is opposed to Keynes's view. Yet though the two differed at this fundamental level, an argument can be made for …

Messages Of Individualism In French, Spanish, And American Television Advertising, Ronald E. Taylor, Joyce M. Wolburg
Messages Of Individualism In French, Spanish, And American Television Advertising, Ronald E. Taylor, Joyce M. Wolburg
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Individualism is a central value in French, Spanish, and American cultures. However, what it means to be an individual and how this is expressed varies among cultures. This study explores the ways that television advertising reflects individualism in French, Spanish, and American cultures and uses a qualitative approach that allows coding categories to emerge from the three countries' samples rather than imposing previously defined categories from a single culture. The study identifies six main advertising message strategies across the three cultures: the Efficient Individual, the Sensual Individual, the Attractive/Healthy Individual, the Esteemed Individual, the Performant(e) Individual, and the Intellectual Individual. …

Sraffa's Early Philosophical Thinking, John B. Davis
Sraffa's Early Philosophical Thinking, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper investigates a number of aspects of Piero Sraffa's early philosophical thinking by placing him within the historical materialist tradition of reasoning about the relation of ideas to the historical process. It first distinguishes Alfred Marshall's views about the historical development of ideas by addressing Marshall's responses to the criticisms of William Cunningham of the English Historical School. Marshall's concept of economics as a universal engine of discovery was rejected by Sraffa in his early writings. Sraffa's critique of Marshall is then argued to lead to two early philosophical commitments on Sraffa's part: that deductivist modes of explanation are …
