What Makes University Students Study Abroad?: An Empirical Study on What Determines Exchange Program Participation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What determines whether a student participates in an exchange program or not? While studies, until now, focused on the impacts of studying abroad, this one investigates the premises. In other words, the research objective is not the consequence of having studied abroad, but what makes students study abroad in the first place. The basic assumption is that exchange program participation is determined in a similar way as higher education attendance. The astonishing result is that financial determinants - grants, financial support by the family, expected income - are not decisive for a student\\\\\`s choice, even though exchange program participants are financially more supported by their families than non-participants. Instead, social background, such as parents\\\\\` education, as well as academic success and the knowledge of languages give the necessary impulse.The results and method of this research project are especially interesting for economists and policy makers in the field of… [detailed...]

What Makes a Terrorist: Economics and the Roots of Terrorism (New Edition)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many popular ideas about terrorists and why they seek to harm us are fueled by falsehoods and misinformation. Leading politicians and scholars have argued that poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from middle-class, and often college-educated, backgrounds. In What Makes a Terrorist, Alan Krueger argues that if we are to correctly assess the root causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, we must think more like economists do. Krueger is an influential economist who has applied rigorous statistical analysis to a range of tough issues, from the minimum wage and education to the occurrence of hate crimes. In this book, he explains why our tactics in the fight against terrorism must be based on more than anecdote and speculation. Krueger closely examines the factors that motivate individuals to participate in terrorism, drawing inferences from terrorists` own backgrounds and the economic, social, and… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: What matters most in business? Traditionally, the answer to this question has been straightforward: growth, quarterly profits, and shareholder value. Everything else was an `externality,` which is economists` jargon for `someone else`s problem.` But as Jeffrey Hollender and Stephen Fenichell tell us, the bottom line isn`t enough anymore. Not because corporations have suddenly become enamored of losing money, but because consumers, shareholders and the general public are demanding better behavior. They want businesses to be better citizens-to do more to make sure their products are healthy and safe, their manufacturing processes cause as little pollution as possible, and their employment policies are humane and not harmful to local communities. Across the country and the world, there`s an evolving consensus that we need new standards to measure and reward business performance. The emergence of Corporate Social Responsibility is more than just a PR tactic, sales… [detailed...]

What Men Still Don`t Know About Women, Relationships, and Love

2007 y.
Publisher: Barricade Books
Description: In his first book in fifteen years, the author of the classic book on men, The Hazards of Being Male, explores the relationship dilemmas of contemporary men and women. What Men Still Don`t Know About Women, Relationships, and Love uniquely addresses the timeless complexity of love and relationships. It is not uncommon for contemporary men to believe that they have done everything right in a relationship, only to find that even their best intentions have failed them. Dr. Herb Goldberg attempts to bridge the gap between a man`s naturally distancing personality and his need for a close relationship. Explanations are given as to why it is actually men who take longer to get over a failed relationship and why a man`s true relationship enemy is one that lies deep within himself. Many of the paradoxes and conundrums of men`s relationship experiences are explored, with case histories presented and guidelines for change offered. [detailed...]

What Mr Darwin Saw

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: At 22, as he prepares to enter the clergy, Charles Darwin is offered the position of naturalist on the HMS Beagle’s expedition to South America. But in 1831, a sea voyage is as unthinkable as a modern-day foray into outer space. His father objects to the outlandish scheme, but with the help of a persuasive uncle, Darwin eventually receives permission to sail. And so he sets off, fully expecting to take his orders at the end of the two-year expedition. Instead, he returns in five, a full-fledged genius who would one day write a book that truly changed the world. What Mr. Darwin Saw is a lively and accessible look at the journey of the HMS Beagle. Readers learn about life on board the ship for Darwin, the captain and crew, and the expedition’s artist, their encounters with slavery, how specimens were collected, the scientific basis for the Biblical flood, Darwin’s adventures in Galapagos, Australia, and other countries and continents, and much more.
