Oil, agriculture, and the public sector: linking intersector dynamics in Ecuador
No full textIn a recent paper, Fiess and Verner (2000) analyse sectoral growth in Ecuador and find significant long-run and short-run relationships between the agricultural, industrial and service sectors. They take this as evidence against the dual economy model which rules out a long-run relationship between agricultural and industrial output and show further that a more detailed picture of the growth process can be discovered, once the agricultural, industrial and service sectors are disaggregated further into intrasector components. This paper extends their initial results and provides insight from a multivariate cointegration analysis of intrasector components. The authors are able to identify three cointegrating relationships, each of which has its own meaningful economic interpretation: Two cointegration relationships capture the direct and indirect effects of the"petrolization"of the Ecuadorian economy. A third relationship clearly indicates a link between agriculture and industrial activity. Since this third cointegrating relationship seems to coincide in time with the trade liberalisation at the end of the 1980s, promoting agriculture appears to be an important way to promote sustainable economic growth in Ecuador.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Scientific Research&Science Parks,Statistical&Mathematical Sciences,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Statistical&Mathematical Sciences,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Achieving Shared Growth
Summer 2013: Community-Wide Conversation Focuses on Recruiting and Retaining Young Talent
No full textA significant discussion on regional progress – and ways to relay that progress to members of Generation Y, in particular – kicked off at St. Norbert on Oct. 15. Futurist, economist and author Rebecca Ryan talked about means by which communities like the Greater Green Bay area can enhance their ability to recruit and retain the next generation of talent.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1084/thumbnail.jp
In a Class by Himself
No full textThis year, for the first time, an alumni presenter will be among those taking part in Alumni College. C.J. Hribal ’79, author and Marquette University professor, will offer a lecture on the art of mystery in fiction. Hribal joins St. Norbert professors (some of them SNC alums, too!) on the faculty of the annual event that draws alums back to campus for a weekend opportunity to reconnect.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1002/thumbnail.jp

Spring 2015: Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation
No full textThe “Thought Leaders Weigh Issues of Violence and Reconciliation” article from St. Norbert College Magazine’s Spring 2015 issue recounts a powerful dialogue between author bell hooks and sociologist Beth Richie during hooks’ campus residency. Centered on the theme “Ending Violence: How We Change,” the conversation explored systemic violence, personal accountability, and the transformative potential of love and community. Richie, an advisor to the NFL on domestic violence, and hooks, a renowned social justice scholar, emphasized the need for honest dialogue, healing, and grassroots change—urging individuals to start small, act locally, and build inclusive spaces of understanding and care.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/snc_magazine_archives_2013-2018/1244/thumbnail.jp
The Global Side of the Investment-Saving Puzzle
No full textIn this paper, we reexamine the long-standing and puzzling correlation between national saving and investment in industrial countries. We apply an econometric methodology that allows us to separate idiosyncratic correlation at the country level from correlation at the global level. In a major break with the existing literature, we find no evidence of a long-run relationship in the idiosyncratic components of saving and investment. We also find that the global components in saving and investments commove, indicating that they react to shocks of a global nature. Copyright (c) 2009 The Ohio State University.
Interest rate co-movements, global factors and the long end of the term spread
No full textThe decoupling of US short and long interest rates has been a distinctive feature of the 2000s. We employ recent advances in panel econometrics to document this disconnect for industrial countries and link it to a global latent factor in long term rates. We investigate whether international forces, such as global inflation, global output, or the global savings glut may be behind this global latent factor. The savings glut is the most likely contender, suggesting that reserve accumulation and a search for yield from emerging markets has lowered long rates internationally, driving a wedge between domestic short and long rates
Primary Commodity Prices: Co-movements, Common Factors and Fundamentals
No full textThe behavior of commodities is critical for developing and developed countries alike.
This paper contributes to the empirical evidence on the co-movement and
determinants of commodity prices. Using nonstationary panel methods, we document
a statistically significant degree of co-movement due to a common factor. Within a
Factor Augmented VAR approach, real interest rate and uncertainty, as postulated by
a simple asset pricing model, are both found to be negatively related to this common
factor. This evidence is robust to the inclusion of demand and supply shocks, which
both positively impact on the co-movement of commodity prices
