The Effects of Infrastructure on Regional Economic Performance: US STATES vs METROPOLITAN AREAS

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study explores the relationship of highway infrastructure and regional economic growth using a labor market model of net migration. Typical net migration model is revised adding variables of demand and supply indicators of highway infrastructure and tested at the U.S. state- and metropolitan areas. This study found positive effects of highway infrastructure on state economic performance, both, the highway services demand indicator and the highway supply indicator performed as expected. Elasticity of net in-migration with respect to the per capita lanemiles of supply measure was between 0.129 and 0.454 and the elasticity with respect to vehicle-miles-traveled per lanemile of congestion measure was between - 0.511 and -0.015. The effects of the highway indicators are, however, weak at the MSA-level analysis, suggesting that highway infrastructure benefits spill over metro area boundaries and are experienced at a wider geographic scale.

The Effects of Light

2005 y.

Description: Amazon.comMiranda Beverly-Whittemore`s debut novel, The Effects of Light , is the story of Myla and Prudence (Pru) Wolfe, whose father David must raise them after they lose their mother in a tragic car accident. Helping David rear his daughters area clan of academics, artists, and intellectuals, including photographer Ruth Handel, whose nude portraits of the girls become the centerpiece around which their lives unravel. Part mystery, part metaphor, part love story, and part philosophical treatise, The Effects of Light is an intriguing, yet perhaps overly ambitious first effort for this young author. When we first meet Myla, she is Kate Scott, an East Coast academic who has seemingly wiped out all traces of her childhood.

The Effects of Taxation on Multinational Corporations (National Bureau of Economic Research Project Report)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The tax rules of the United States and other countries have intended and unintended effects on the operations of multinational corporations, influencing everything from the formation and allocation of capital to competitive strategies. The growing importance of international business has led economists to reconsider whether current systems of taxing international income are viable in a world of significant capital market integration and global commercial competition. In an attempt to quantify the effect of tax policy on international investment choices, this volume presents in-depth analyses of the interaction of international tax rules and the investment decisions of multinational enterprises. Ten papers assess the role played by multinational firms and their investment in the U.S. economy and the design of international tax rules for multinational investment, analyze channels through which international tax rules affect the costs of international business activities,… [detailed...]

The Effects of U.S. Trade Protection and Promotion Policies (National Bureau of Economic Research Project Report)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economists disagree on whether recent U.S. trade policies are harmful or helpful, but they all agree that there is a new trend toward focusing on results-oriented policies in specific markets and with particular trading partners. These twelve essaysby leading international economists explore crucial issues in U.S. trade policy today. Topics examined include the markets for automobile and automobile parts in the United States and Japan, the U.S. response to `unfair` trading practices such as dumping, and the effects of industry- and country-specific policies. Examples include high-technology and agricultural industries and off-shore assembly in U.S. border cities. The volume concludes that some policies can act to both protect imports and promote exports, that the threat of protectionist policies can often have effects that are as pronounced as their implementation, and that regulatory policy has as great an impact on trade and investment patterns as does trade policy… [detailed...]

Mirowski insists on the need to bring together the insights of economics, science studies, and the philosophy of science in order to understand how and why particular research programs get stabilized through interdisciplinary appropriation, controlled attributions of error, and funding restrictions. Mirowski contends that neoclassical economists have persistently presumed and advanced an `effortless economy of science,` a misleading model of a self-sufficient and conceptually self-referential social structure that transcends market operations in pursuit of absolute truth. In the stunning essays collected here, he presents a radical critique of… [detailed...]

Sherwood Anderson
The Egg and Other Stories

2000 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: The stories in the present volume have been selected from `The Triumph of the Egg`, a rich collection of tales published in 1921, two years after the resounding success of Anderson`s masterpiece, `Winesburg, Ohio`. Embracing a naturalistic interpretation of American life, the stories burnished Anderson`s reputation as a major American writer. Recounted in a prose style based on colloquial speech and derived in part from the experimental writing of Gertrude Stein, the stories collected here embody some of Anderson`s characteristic themes: small-town environments, distrust of modern industrial society, and the typically American quest for self- and social improvement. Beneath their surface simplicity, the tales explore remarkable psychological depths, capturing the conflict between the individual`s inner world and the outer world of experience, as well as personal epiphanies, undercurrents of erotic longing, and sudden eruptions of passion among seemingly repressed,… [detailed...]

The Eight and American Modernisms

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Frustrated by the art world’s elitism and the snobbish exclusivity of the academy’s juries, eight American painters united in 1908 to upend the establish norms and stage their own exhibition of modernist art. Led by the charismatic Robert Henri, they came to be known as `The Eight,` and their two-week show at New York’s Macbeth Galleries drew a multitude of visitors, who crowded into the galleries to critique the much-publicized work of these `revolutionary` artists. Their paintings of urban scenes marked a significant departure from the prevailing style—which emphasized physical and natural beauty—and met with critical success. The established chronicle maintains that the Eight were rendered dysfunctional and artistically irrelevant after European modernism arrived in the United States at the 1913 Armory Show. The Eight and American Modernisms revises this account and reevaluates these respected artists’ careers, including their late works. Accompanying a traveling exhibition, this… [detailed...]

The Eighth Day: The Transgenic Art of Eduardo Kac

Description: Book DescriptionIf there is no eighth day in the biblical account of things, perhaps it`s time to add another, now that we have the means. The transgenic art of Eduardo Kac does just that, raising often unanswerable questions about ethics, evolution, biogenetics, and animals` rights, to name but a few of the areas from which his work has raised controversy. At the dawn of the 21st century, Kac shocked the world, first with a groundbreaking net installation entitled Genesis , and then with Alba, hisfluorescent, genetically engineered rabbit. From his first experiments online in the mid-1980s to his current convergence of the digital and the biological, in the Eighth Day installation Kac has always investigated the philosophical and political dimensions of communication processes. Equally concerned with the aesthetic and the social aspects of verbal and nonverbal interaction, Kac has examined linguistic systems, dialogic exchanges, and interspecies communication, combining… [detailed...]

The Einstein Almanac

Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press
Description: Albert Einstein was an exceptional human being. Perhaps nothing reflects the breadth and scope of his brilliance, his interests, and his influence better than his publications-more than six hundred scientific papers, books, essays, reviews, and opinion pieces. Einstein began publishing in March 1901 with a scientific work that appeared in the German journal `Annalen der Physik` when he was twenty-two, the last publication was an editorial in the journal `Common Cause`, which appeared a few months before his death in 1955. In the fifty-four-year interval, his published work ranged widely over relativity theory and quantum physics, nationalism, Judaism, war, peace, and education. Indeed, Einstein`s literary output was so abundant that even many of his most informed admirers are not familiar with all of it. `The Einstein Almanac` takes a look at Einstein`s year-by-year output, explaining his three hundred most important publications and setting them into the context of his life,… [detailed...]

Description: This volume recounts the fascinating history and thrilling contemporary celebrations of one of the most well-known aspects of Welsh cultural life: the Eisteddfod (eye-steth-vod). This festival of literature, music, and performance—in celebration of Welsh language and culture—dates back to the earliest history of the Celtic bards. Deteriorating to a tavern festival that cleverly punned on the meaning of the word (Eistedd, “to sit”) in medieval and Renaissance times, the Eisteddfod became fully reinvigorated in the years it spent under the imaginative and creative hands of the Welsh Romantic visionary Iolo Morganwg, as well as his later supporters and devotees. The Eisteddfod traces the evolution of this ebullient festival from the nineteenth century to the present—providing a virtual tour of the sites and various features of the festival, as well as the fascinating journey the celebration has taken from Wales to global sites as farflung as Patagonia, Australia, Washington, D.C., and… [detailed...]

All great investors employ an “either/or” filter for evaluating and simplifying the many investment opportunities available to them.

The Elastic Closet: A History of Homosexuality in France, 1942-present

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Like any good closet, the French Republic has served both to protect and to restrain its gay citizens, keeping expressions of both pro-homosexual and anti-homosexual sentiment within a narrower range than has been the case in places like the United States - where both `gay pride` and homophobia tend to be expressed more aggressively. The Elastic Closet examines the interconnected realms of law (from legal discrimination under Vichy to anti-hate speech legislation in 2004), politics (from the homophiles of the 1950s to distinctly French articulations of queer radicalism now) and the media (from postwar journals like Arcadie to Tetu and PinkTV today), with a focus on the relationship between French republican values and the possibilities they have offered for change in each of these three spheres. It is a reminder that in foreign places, other logics produce different, yet equally legitimate, strategies adapted to the specific constraints of their particular environments. [detailed...]

The complex issues physicians deal with include informed consent and patient decision-making capacity, use of advance care planning and decision-making by family and medical staff, and withdrawing and withholding life-sustaining interventions. The broader questions include: has aging been over medicalized? Is it ethical for older patients to receive less medical care than younger ones, through unspoken practice or formal rationing? Is there inevitable conflict between the generations over scarce medical resources? How should physician, patient and family confront end-of-life decisions? How have different nations responded to increasing numbers of the elderly? Have social values changed as to family responsibility and individual autonomy? This volume brings together… [detailed...]
