Monetary policy rules, macroeconomic stability and inflation: a view from the trenches
No full textI estimate a forward-looking monetary policy reaction function for the Federal Reserve for the periods before and after Paul Volcker's appointment as Chairman in 1979, using information that was available to the FOMC in real time from 1966 to 1995. The results suggest broad similarities in policy and point to a forward looking approach to policy consistent with a strong reaction to inflation forecasts during both periods. This contradicts the hypothesis, based on analysis with ex post constructed data, that the instability of the Great Inflation was the result of weak FOMC policy responses to expected inflation. A difference is that prior to Volcker's appointment, policy was too activist in reacting to perceived output gaps that retrospectively proved overambitious. Drawing on contemporaneous accounts of FOMC policy, I discuss the implications of the findings for alternative explanations of the Great Inflation and the improvement in macroeconomic stability since then JEL Classification: E3, E52, E58Greenbook forecasts, monetary policy rules, real-time data, stagflation

Marketing strategies of port authorities: A multi-dimensional theorization
No full textThe study advances an innovative conceptualization of the marketing strategies developed byPort Authorities (PAs), framing a relevant case of hybrid organisation into a business marketingperspective. PAs have transformed to hybrid organizations mostly disassociated from operationalactivities and port services provision. Still, they maintain a key role as managing bodies ad-vancing the prospects of respective port and associate clusters. Marketing is among the functionsworking towards this end. Aiming to advance theoretical constructs and related empirical re-search, the paper employs business marketing perspectives and their applications in hybrid or-ganisations to introduce a novel conceptualization of PA marketing strategies. Within this the-oretical angle, the study builds a multi-dimensional framework on PA strategic positioning thatcombines (a) PAs’marketing objectives in various Strategic Business Areas (SBAs), (b) the multi-faceted geography of the targeted salient stakeholders, and (c) the induced portfolio of marketingactions, whose ramifications unveil virtuous cross-fertilization effects (CFEs) and fuel the successof PA marketing strategies. This model enables to identifyfive different patterns of marketcoverage across diverse SBA
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Reflections of Ecclesiastical Policy in Sacred Music: The Case of Patriarch Athanasios V"
No full textThe Patriarch of Constantinople Athanasios the 5th is an exceptionally important church figure, widely renowned to the relevant historical research. He was descended from Crete; through historians, he is described as “a wise man, whose outstanding prosperity was a scandal to the clergymen of the time; he would read European books and induced the people towards education”, whereas he is reported as “an expert of Greek, Latin and Arabic dialect, being in parallel perfect as far as music is concerned”. Indeed he is nowadays known to us as a complete and perfect musician mainly based upon his only till today found handwritten musical codex Sinai 1282 (a book contained John Kladas’ Akathistos Hymn melodies), a manuscript that is signed in f. 119r with the following note: “the present Oikoi were written by me, Athanasios Margounios from Crete, bishop of Tornovo, at the year 1687 of June 1st, while I was at the prison because of Patriarch Dionysios’ spitefulness”. It becomes evident in this indirect way the hardships that Athanasios suffered “due to Patriarch Dionysios’ spitefulness” [we refer to Patriarch Dionysios IV, the so-called Mouselimis (+1696), who was elected Patriarch five times; he was chasing Athanasios, for unknown reasons till today, during his fourth Patriarchy (March of 1686-12th of October 1687)]; in addition, it is already noticed that “Athanasios’ oeuvre (like for instance, his well-known Kalophonic Heirmoi, especially if we take into consideration their text) owes its formation to the hardships he had suffered during his restriction to Mountain Sinai”. This implied effect, mirroring, and reflection of any ecclesiastical policy upon the general artistic creation of the Sacred Music is been analyzed in the present paper, taking as a basis the case of Athanasios
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Transitions: Athanasios Koukopoulos [AθανάσιΟς κΟυκόπΟυλΟς], M.D. (1931–2013)
No full textAthanasios Koukopoulos was born in Chaeronea, a village in the district of Boeotia in central Greece, on 23 November 1931 as the son of Konstantinos and Maria Koukopoulos. His father hoped that he would remain at home to manage the land they owned, but Athanasios preferred to study. His energetic and supportive mother fought for his education. At the end of World War II, following years of exposure to violence and privation, his family moved to Athens just before the Greek civil war of 1946 to 1949. In Athens, Koukopoulos continued his education while playing professional basketball with the prestigious Panatinaikos Sports Club of Athens, which later on presented him with the Golden Clover award. In 1951, he moved to Italy despite remaining hard feelings in Greece following the recent Greco-Italian war of 1940 to 1941 and the subsequent Balkan campaign of the Axis powers in World War II
