الخصخصة في الإسلام… رؤية اقتصادية, خولة رشيج حسن
الخصخصة في الإسلام… رؤية اقتصادية, خولة رشيج حسن
Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
الملخص يعد موضوع الخصخصة من المواضيع المهمة التي أخذت أهميتها بالتزايد في الآونة الأخيرة نظرا لارتباط هذا الموضوع بالأزمات الاقتصادية التي تتعرض لها البلدان المختلفة والإصلاح الاقتصادي الذي يترتب عليها. ويرتبط موضوع الخصخصة بالدور الاقتصادي للدولة وبالتالي النظام الاقتصادي المتبع، اذ أن إحداث تطور في الاتجاهات الدولية نحو هذا النظام او ذاك وبالتالي تطور في اتجاه الدولة يحتم على الخصخصة أن تكون تطور طبيعي يتبع ذلك التغيير وهذا مغاير لما هو عليه في النظام الاقتصادي الإسلامي، إذ أن دور الدولة وما يرتبط به من أمور يحددها الخالق في القران وكذلك السنة الشريفة. وعلى ذلك وطبقا لهذه التعاليم القرآنية والسنة النبوية …

دور الدولة في التنميــة الاقتصادية ومبــررات الخصخصة في الاقتصادات النامية, مليحــة جبار عبــد
Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
بدأ استعمال كلمة الخصخصة((Privatization)) في المملكة المتحدة في بداية عقد الثمانينات. وبالنسبة لحداثة مفهوم الخصخصة، فلا يوجد تعريف محدد لها في قواميس اللغة الإنكليزية، وسرعان ما انتقل مفهوم الخصخصة إلى الدول المتقدمة والنامية والتي طبقت أساليب وطرق مختلفة للخصخصة0 وطبقاً لذلك فان الخصخصة ليشمل عدة أساليب ومستويات طبقت في الدول المتقدمة والنامية. فهنالك عدد من الكتاب يتحدثون عن الخصخصة المؤثرة ((Effective Privatization))، وهذه تشمل بالنسبة لهم كافة أساليب ووسائل الخصخصة التي تنهي ملكية الدولة كلياً أو جزئياً وتحول الأصول كلياً أو جزئياً للقطاع الخاص، حيث يحدث في هذه الأساليب تحول الملكية ((Transfer of Ownership )). وهناك عدد آخر من الكتاب …

The Incoherent Role Of Bargaining Power In Contract Law, Max Helveston, Michael Jacobs
The Incoherent Role Of Bargaining Power In Contract Law, Max Helveston, Michael Jacobs
College of Law Faculty
Contracts that result from the abuse of unequal bargaining power have long been a concern of contract law. Courts have proscribed efforts by the "powerful" to take unfair advantage of the "weak" through contracts of adhesion and standard form contracts. Certain kinds of clauses — liability waivers, and covenants not to compete, among others — regularly attract judicial suspicion because their appearance is deemed indicative of such advantage-taking. In books, symposia, and journal articles, generations of legal scholars have debated the role of bargaining power considerations in the analysis of contracts and contractual terms. The "bargaining power" construct has become …

SURGE
Meet David*. In mid-January, he came to the small town Iowa elementary school where I work. David has attended more schools in the two years since he started school than I have in my lifetime. In fact, the school he just moved from only has four days of attendance listed on his record. David moves so often because he’s homeless. His situation is not what we may stereotypically think of as “homeless”—you wouldn’t see him on the streets or even in soup kitchens. Instead, David stays with his mother, and they couch surf from one home to another from week …

School Choice, School Quality And Postsecondary Attainment, David J. Deming, Justine S. Hastings, Thomas J. Kane, Douglas O. Staiger
Dartmouth Scholarship
We study the impact of a public school choice lottery in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools on college enrollment and degree completion. We find a significant overall increase in college attainment among lottery winners who attend their first choice school. Using rich administrative data on peers, teachers, course offerings and other inputs, we show that the impacts of choice are strongly predicted by gains on several measures of school quality. Gains in attainment are concentrated among girls. Girls respond to attending a better school with higher grades and increases in college-preparatory course-taking, while boys do not.
Mountain Monitor - 4th Quarter 2013, Kenan Fikri, Mark Muro
Mountain Monitor - 4th Quarter 2013, Kenan Fikri, Mark Muro
Mountain Monitor Quarterly
The quarter’s Mountain Monitor finds that the pace of economic recovery in the Mountain West region’s major metropolitan areas converged toward that of the rest of the nation in the last quarter of 2013.
While quarterly performance on the Monitor’s four indicators of economic recovery—employment, output, the unemployment rate, and house prices—varied considerably across the 10 major metro areas of the region, their combined performance broadly slowed to track with the rate of national economic recovery. The quarter’s average job growth remained unchanged in the region at 0.4 percent as the national economy caught up. The gap between the national …
Use Of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program Benefits By Unemployment Insurance Applicants In Michigan During The Great Recession, Christopher J. O'Leary, Kenneth J. Kline
Use Of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program Benefits By Unemployment Insurance Applicants In Michigan During The Great Recession, Christopher J. O'Leary, Kenneth J. Kline
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
During the Great Recession, both the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the federal-state unemployment insurance (UI) program experienced dramatic increases in participation. Using Michigan program administrative data on all SNAP (2006–2011) recipients and all UI (2001–2010) applicants, we examine SNAP use before and after UI application. Both past and future receipts of SNAP are highly negatively correlated with meeting UI income and job separation eligibility requirements. Unemployment insurance applicants with insufficient wage credits or job separations because of quitting or employer discharge are much more likely to have received SNAP in the past. Furthermore, such UI applicants are also …

Equity Commitment Under Uncertainty: A Hierarchical Model Of Real Option Entry Mode Choices, Luisa Blanco, Rossitza Wooster, W. Charles Sawyer
Equity Commitment Under Uncertainty: A Hierarchical Model Of Real Option Entry Mode Choices, Luisa Blanco, Rossitza Wooster, W. Charles Sawyer
School of Public Policy Working Papers
We develop a real option hierarchical model of entry mode choice and test predictions using a sample of US companies in Latin America and the Caribbean between 1980 and 2005. Probit results indicate that the choice between a real option non-equity mode and equity commitment is influenced by previous acquisition experience, R&D and advertising intensities, and country risk. The choice of the more flexible real option JV mode over WOEs is positively related to greater firm size and market-to-book ratio in countries with better infrastructure. In contrast, greater marketing intensity and lower country risk encourage WOEs.

Bargaining Market Equity Adjustments By Rank And Discipline, Jonathan P. Blitz, Jeffrey F. Cross
Bargaining Market Equity Adjustments By Rank And Discipline, Jonathan P. Blitz, Jeffrey F. Cross
Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy
Faculty contract negotiations generally include wages, hours, and other conditions of employment as well as mutually agreed non-mandatory subjects of bargaining. Negotiators typically address wages in terms of across-the-board increases, promotion in rank, merit increases, and one-time signing bonuses. Less typically, faculty salary negotiations include various forms of equity adjustments and salary increases linked to the underlying market and social forces and to salary compression that may, or may not, be related to these forces. The authors describe how they negotiated differential discipline-specific target salaries based in part on College and University Personnel Association faculty salary data.
The Health And Nutrition Effects Of Snap: Selection Into The Program And A Review Of The Literature On Its Effects, Marianne Bitler
The Health And Nutrition Effects Of Snap: Selection Into The Program And A Review Of The Literature On Its Effects, Marianne Bitler
University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research Discussion Paper Series
The goal of this paper is to assess the existing state of knowledge about whether SNAP improves health and nutrition outcomes, and if so, which ones and by how much.
In an era of fiscal crisis, knowing whether SNAP has any significant causal effect on health and nutrition is crucial for informing policy decisions and policy makers. In this review, I pay particular attention to the challenges researchers face in overcoming selection bias and identifying causal effects of the program, and I will assess the literature through that lens. The fundamental challenge in program evaluation in general and in assessing …

Earning A Living In Nonmetropolitan Nebraska: 2014 Nebraska Rural Poll Results, Rebecca J. Vogt, Cheryl A. Burkhart-Kriesel, Randolph L. Cantrell, Bradley Lubben
Nebraska Rural Poll
Most rural Nebraskan households have full-time employment and many employed households derive part of their household income from self-employment. Self-employment is more prevalent in smaller communities. Most rural Nebraskans living in or near the smallest communities have self-employment in their household.
Some rural Nebraska households also have multiple job holding by members of the household. Again, this is more likely to occur in the smallest communities.
Most self-employed rural Nebraskan households get less than one-half of their total household income from self-employment. However, over one-quarter (29%) of self-employed rural Nebraskans get almost all of their household income from self-employment. Many …
Levers For Change -- Philanthropy In Select South East Asian Countries, Prapti Upadhyay Anand, Crystal Hayling
Levers For Change -- Philanthropy In Select South East Asian Countries, Prapti Upadhyay Anand, Crystal Hayling
Lien Centre for Social Innovation: Research
Explosive economic growth in South East Asia has resulted in unparalleled wealth creation. Forbes magazine reports there are 386 billionaires in the Asia Pacific region. While the region’s emerging economies report hopeful signs of a broadening middle class, income inequality is rising faster than living standards for the majority. There is widespread agreement that the stark income disparity must be addressed or it risks threatening political and social stability. For those interested in the social economy, key questions remain unanswered: first, will philanthropic giving match the fast pace of wealth accumulation, and second, will that philanthropy be strategic and targeted …
Niche Markets And Their Lessons, Cally Jordan
Niche Markets And Their Lessons, Cally Jordan
Faculty Papers & Publications
Markets are full of nooks and crannies. Out of the glare of the big economies and their public exchanges, markets specializing by financial product, activity, or industry thrive, often attracting little by way of formal regulatory oversight. But there is another kind of specialized market, one which is geographically and politically determined albeit internationally focused. Luxembourg, Ireland, Dubai, Bahrain, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, among others, these are some of the world’s niche markets.
It is a hard business being a niche market, operating in a competitive and often unforgiving environment, engaging in constant repositioning and facing inherent limitations on growth. Surprisingly, …
