Marginal likelihood calculation for gelfand-dey and Chib Method
No full textOne advantage of Bayesian estimation is its solid theoretical ground on model comparison, which relies heavily upon the accurate calculation of marginal likelihood. The Gelfand-Dey (1994) and Chib (1995) methods are two popular means of calculating marginal likelihood. A trade-off exists between these two methods. The Gelfand-Dey method is simpler and faster to conduct, while Chib method is more accurate, yet intricate. In this paper, we compare the two methods by their ability to identify structural breaks in a reduced form volatility model. Using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we demonstrate that the performance of the two methods is fairly close. Since the Chib method is normally more di±cult to implement in many econometric problems, it is safe to choose Gelfand-Dey method when calculating marginal likelihood.Model Comparison; Structural Break; Heterogeneous Autoregressive Model; Bayesain Estimation
Framing the Gap: Contact (and) Improvisation
No full textThis editorial serves as both introductory chapter and editorial summary of the journal. Dey and Sarco-Thomas start by teasing out the use of the words Contact ( and) Improvisation. They explore the notion of an experimental dance practice that works with both core principals of touch and exchange of weight and constant changing notions of unknowing, gaps, potentiality that defines itself in the moment of dancing, In this way, Dey argues that Contact and its improvisation can offer a political praxis, an insertion of 'change through exchange' which offers moving bodies many kinds of rides. They summarise the rich and international articles within the journal into themes:' the notion of ‘threeness’ in CI; CI principles as explored through performance-making and creative work; the ethics of relating through touch in improvisation; and the temporal dynamics of CI practice in teaching and training. This is the first curated collection of scholarly articles on the subject

Justinian’s Legacy : The Last War of Roman Italy
No full textThis thematic collection of essays seeks to explore the impact of Justinian's campaigns against the Ostrogothic Kingdom (535-553 AD) on the social and material contours of late Roman Italy. The nearly two decades of conflict between Goths and Byzantines provoked the collapse of the stable Romano-Ostrogothic polity that had prevailed for a half-century after the fall of the western Empire. In the postwar period, Italy became an unstable extension of the Eastern empire, a peripheral province governed and defended by agents of the distant court in Constantinople, who were unable to prevent further invasions and the political fragmentation of the peninsula. While Justinian’s war against the Goths has long been viewed as a pivotal moment in Italian history, many questions remain about how and to what extent the conflict and the advent of the new Byzantine regime upset existing structures and provoked ruptures with the past in social, administrative, economic, topographical, and environmental terms

Energy management in 21st century: an inquiry into the mounting corporate hegemony over basic human necessities and the role of civil society as a countervailing force.
No full textIn 21st century, as energy and food supplies are increasingly becoming dependent on each other, any strategy to manage these two basic human needs should be formulated collectively –not in isolation. The ‘green revolution’ of 1950s paved the way for ascertaining corporate control on food and water. Through the enactment and subsequent ratification of Kyoto Protocol, the corporate hegemony on air and energy has been established firmly. During last hundred and fifty odd years, a symbiotic relationship between the state and large corporations was developed. The transnational corporations are trying to break away from such dependence on state and emerge as the dominant force to control and manage the global market. This study tries to explain the consequences of this changing relation between the ‘state’ and ‘corporations’ on the food and energy needs of the citizens. It also analyses various issues pertaining to the energy supplies during the next few decades of the 21st century. The paper concludes that in future, the civil society organizations (CSOs) will play an important role in steering the course of society especially in the allocation and distribution of basic human necessities like food and energy.Electricity retailing; food retailing, renewable energy; decentralized generation; civil society; multilateral organization; small and micro enterprise (sme), SMEs
