The Perception Of The Economy Influencing Public Opinion On Immigration Policy, Jeff Sanchez

e-Research: A Journal of Undergraduate Work

Does the majority express interest concerning immigration on the basis of perceived personal economic circumstance and security, or on the basis of its perception of the state of the national economy? This study explains how perception of the state of the economy influences opinion on immigration policy. This study finds that an individual's preferences for varying immigration policies are rooted in his or her perception of the state of the national economy, rather than being narrowly determined by his or her perception of their own economic circumstance and security.

Exploring Economists & Society: Constructing Expert Identity, Joseph Fitzgerald, Brendan O'Rourke

Conference papers

The recent economic crisis has created a heightened interest in economics and greater demand for economics experts. The media has played an important role in meeting this demand as mediated expertise is relied upon to understand the complex relationships within society (Albaek, Christiansen and Togeby 2003; Beck 1992; Boyce 2006; Giddens 1990). Such interactions of experts with media are a key element of the knowledge flows within society (Sturdy et al. 2009) and so have attracted research attention (Ekstrom and Lundell 2011; Hutchby 2006; Montgomery 2008). This paper contributes to this literature by focusing on the under-researched area of the …

Economic Governance Wins In India, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

The landslide victory of the BJP and the terrible beating of the Congress party in the recent Indian elections are likely to elicit different interpretations. Most observers and analysts, however, believe that the single most factor responsible for this startling outcome was the candidature of Mr Narendera Modi as the prime minister. His track record as the chief minister of Gujarat as a decisive economic reformer, a doer, and result-oriented leader is widely acclaimed and acknowledged even by his worst enemies and critics. The Indian business community, irrespective of differences within it, was unanimous in endorsing him as the most …

An Economic Impact Analysis Of A Youth Softball World Series, Robert Tanner Jones

Honors Theses

Sporting events can have a large impact on an economy. From the Olympics to the Super Bowl to the World Cup, these events bring in millions of dollars of new revenue to a region. Extensive research has been conducted on the economic impact of these mega-events. However, smaller sporting events, such as a fishing tournament, youth sports tournament, or 5K race, can also boost local economies and influence future tourism choices. However, limited research has been conducted to understand the economic impact of these events, despite the significant resources needed by communities to host these smaller events. This economic impact …

What Ought To Happen In 2014?, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has set out the agenda for 2014 by focusing on energy, extremism, economy, ‘trade not aid’ and governance. These are the right issues – very critical and linked together. But how can this agenda be implemented?

For each of these issues, responsibilities should be assigned, performance indicators specified and accountability for results established. This will enable the prime minister to assess the performance of his ministers and secretaries.

Policy credibility has been a casualty for too long and needs to be established. Tough policy decisions have to be taken in consultation with stakeholders prior to …

The International Monetary Fund, Power Politics, And The Changing Political Economy Of The Twenty First Century, Eduardo Flores

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

The governance of the global economy is in a constant state of change. Since the creation of the Bretton Woods system, the International Monetary Fund has had to pursue a series of reforms to meet the changing demands of the international monetary system. At times, the Fund's institutional design has been adjusted to reflect the rise and decline in economic fortunes of member states. Other times the Fund has been resistant to change. However, the original design has proved to be durable and has overcome a number of historical challenges. Currently, two realities are challenging the institutional design of the …

Fall Of The Rupee, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

Why is the Pakistani currency depreciating so rapidly vis-à-vis foreign currencies? How can this trend be arrested? What is the future outlook for Pakistan’s currency? These questions must be addressed in a dispassionate manner.

Economic theory has many explanations for relative currency movements. The simplest one is that if country X records the inflation rate at 10pc per annum while country Y’s is only 2pc, the bilateral exchange rate of country X should result in depreciation of 8pc vis-à-vis country Y.

Hardly any country has economic ties with only one country. Therefore, a trade-weighted exchange rate is used where weights …
