Maimon (Isaac) interview
No full textTekirdag, TurkeyMaimon was born in Tekirdag, Turkey, in 1911 and immigrated to Seattle when he was 13. He is a member of Sephardic Bikur Holim Congregation and became its president in 1956. In this audio recording, Maimon gives a Sephardic landmark bus tour of the Seattle area to a group of interested listeners. Maimon points out popular Seattle landmarks and describes their relevance to the Sephardic community. He also reminisces about the history of the community and shares personal anecdotes. Meta Bloom Buttnick provides additional commentary along the tour.

Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
No full textIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method

The demand for alcohol: a meta-analysis of elasticities
No full textNumerous studies have estimated elasticities of alcohol demand using different procedures. Because of widespread differences in demand estimates, however, it is difficult to synthesise the literature into coherent meaning. This study improves our understanding of alcohol demand by reporting results from a meta-analysis of 132 studies. Specifically, regressing estimated price, income and advertising elasticities of alcohol on variables accounting for study characteristics, we find alcohol elasticities to be particularly sensitive to demand specification, data issues and various estimation methods. Furthermore, compared to other alcoholic beverages, beer elasticities tend to be more inelastic.alcohol demand, elasticity, meta-analysis, Demand and Price Analysis,
A comparative analysis of the demand for higher education: results from a meta-analysis of elasticities
No full textStudies of the demand for higher education have produced numerous estimates of the tuition and income elasticities. Because of widespread variation in the models estimated, this paper performs a meta-analysis of the literature to uncover the extent to which study characteristics influence elasticities. In addition to being more inelastic in the short-run, the results reveal that demand is least responsive to tuition and income in the United States. Also, the measure of quantity and price, coupled with the method of estimation, have important effects on the tuition elasticity. Nonetheless, there are many study characteristics that have little impact on elasticity estimates.
RAMESES publication standards: meta-narrative reviews.
No full textBACKGROUND: Meta-narrative review is one of an emerging menu of new approaches to qualitative and mixed-method systematic review. A meta-narrative review seeks to illuminate a heterogeneous topic area by highlighting the contrasting and complementary ways in which researchers have studied the same or a similar topic. No previous publication standards exist for the reporting of meta-narrative reviews. This publication standard was developed as part of the RAMESES (Realist And MEta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards) project. The project's aim is to produce preliminary publication standards for meta-narrative reviews. METHODS: We (a) collated and summarized existing literature on the principles of good practice in meta-narrative reviews; (b) considered the extent to which these principles had been followed by published reviews, thereby identifying how rigor may be lost and how existing methods could be improved; (c) used a three-round online Delphi method with an interdisciplinary panel of national and international experts in evidence synthesis, meta-narrative reviews, policy and/or publishing to produce and iteratively refine a draft set of methodological steps and publication standards; (d) provided real-time support to ongoing meta-narrative reviews and the open-access RAMESES online discussion list so as to capture problems and questions as they arose; and (e) synthesized expert input, evidence review and real-time problem analysis into a definitive set of standards. RESULTS: We identified nine published meta-narrative reviews, provided real-time support to four ongoing reviews and captured questions raised in the RAMESES discussion list. Through analysis and discussion within the project team, we summarized the published literature, and common questions and challenges into briefing materials for the Delphi panel, comprising 33 members. Within three rounds this panel had reached consensus on 20 key publication standards, with an overall response rate of 90%. CONCLUSION: This project used multiple sources to draw together evidence and expertise in meta-narrative reviews. For each item we have included an explanation for why it is important and guidance on how it might be reported. Meta-narrative review is a relatively new method for evidence synthesis and as experience and methodological developments occur, we anticipate that these standards will evolve to reflect further theoretical and methodological developments. We hope that these standards will act as a resource that will contribute to improving the reporting of meta-narrative reviews

Eckstein (Joanna) interview (1975)
No full textSeattle, Washington, United StatesThere is significant sound distortion throughout Side B of the audiocassette.
Eckstein discusses her grandfather's (Abraham Schwabacher) immigration to San Francisco from Germany in the 1850s, his business with Bailey Gatzert in Walla Walla, Washington, and then the expansion of his grocery and hardware business to Seattle in 1868. She discusses Gatzert's political and social activities in Seattle (he served as mayor in 1875) and his wife Babette's founding of the Ladies' Relief Society, now known as the Seattle Children's home. She also recounts her father's (Nathan Eckstein) immigration from Reckendorf, Germany to work for Schwabacher and his religious and civic activities in Seattle.
She describes the Seattle Jewish community in the late nineteenth-century, the attempt to build a synagogue for a reform congregation, and the eventual construction of Temple de Hirsch. She recounts her early childhood growing up in the Seattle Jewish community, her founding of the sorority Sigma Theta Pi at University of Washington, and its selection process. She discusses at length the cultural norms of education for Jewish boys and girls and the differences between them. She also discusses anti-Semitism she encountered from various Seattle organizations as well as her work as a travel agent.To request a high resolution or uncompressed reproduction, or to obtain permission to use any portion of this item, contact the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections.

Renminbi misaligned - Results from meta-regressions
No full textWe collect data from 29 separate papers estimating the equilibrium level and possible undervaluation of the Chinese currency, the renminbi. These papers yield a total of 97 individual observations on misalignment, which we analyse with the help of meta-analysis. We find that the vast majority of observations point to renminbi undervaluation in recent years and that the undervaluation is more pronounced when the US dollar exchange rate is used instead of the real effective exchange rate. We find several characteristics of papers and authors that clearly seem to influence the reported misalignments. For example, when the author is affiliated with an investment bank, the reported misalignment is smaller. Using time-series techniques also results in lower estimates of undervaluation. On the other hand, refereed journals seemingly are inclined to publish papers that report larger misalignments. Results caution against trusting too much in any one study concerning renminbi undervaluation.equilibrium exchange rate; exchange rate misalignment; meta-analysis; China
