Benguet Kankanaey self-representations in local films in Benguet, Philippines
No full textThis paper studies the self-representation of the Benguet Kankanaey, an Igorot subgroup that occupies the northern part of the province of Benguet, in local films. Guided by the post-colonial theory as the framework and textual analysis as a tool, this study underscores that local films serve as space for the Kankanaey to counter the alternate realities about them being reinforced in Philippine mainstream media. In particular, local films counter the misrepresentations by emphasizing agency. This paper further proposes that local films serve as a tool for resistance against misrepresentation in mainstream cinema. Containing constructive representations of their complex lives, the production of local films should be sustained

Piecing together modular : understanding the benefits and limitations of modular construction methods for multifamily development
No full textThesis (S.M. in Real Estate Development)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2007.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (leaves [100]-107).The primary purpose of this thesis is to explain the benefits and limitations of modular construction as it pertains to primarily wood-frame, multifamily housing in the United States. This thesis attempts to educate the consumer/builder/developer about what the modular construction process entails from beginning to end. Long term demographic trends point to a steady and increasing need for housing production. Decreasing development yields and increasing construction costs and regulations are making it more difficult for the market to meet this need. It is the authors' goal that the knowledge contained in this thesis helps to introduce developers to the basic issues involved in this relatively underutilized but potentially beneficial process.by Peter J. Cameron, Jr. and Nadia G. Di Carlo.S.M.in Real Estate Developmen

Emerging Financial Markets and Early U.S. Growth
No full textStudies of early U.S. growth traditionally have emphasized real-sector explanations for an acceleration that by many accounts became detectable between 1815 and 1840. Interestingly, the establishment of the nation's basic financial structure predated by three decades the canals, railroads, and widespread use of water and steam-powered machinery that are thought to have triggered modernization. We argue that this innovative and expanding financial system, by providing debt and equity financing to businesses and governments as new technologies emerged, was central to the nation's early growth and modernization. The analysis includes a set of multivariate time series models that relate measures of banking and equity market activity to measures of investment, imports and business incorporations from 1790 to 1850. The findings offer support for our hypothesis of finance-led' growth in the U.S. case. By implication, the interest today in improving financial systems as a means of fostering sustainable growth is not misplaced.
