INFORMATION AND COMMAND
Get PDFInformation adds value to transactions in three ways: it supports reputations, permits customisation, and provides yardsticks. In the Soviet economy such information was frequently not produced; if produced, it was often concealed; whether concealed or not, it was often of poor quality. In short, the Soviet command system forced economic growth on the basis of a relatively low–value information stock. This may help explain aspects of Soviet postwar economic growth and slowdown, the collapse of the command system, and the persistence of low output after the collapse.

Demise and disintegration : the economic consequences of the Great War in central Europe
No full textIn 1914, Austria-Hungary was less prepared for war than any other great power in Europe, both militarily and economically. By 1918, the First World War had exhausted its economic potential. Yet, the Habsburg economy was capable of waging war, even one that required mass mobilisation, but not a long war. The destabilizing impact of the war and the contraction of the Habsburg economy really began in the last years of the conflict
Recovery and reconstruction : Europe after the Second World War
Get PDF1945 was a watershed in the economic history of Europe. It marked the end of the worst of all wars but also the beggining of a quarter century of undprecendented economic and social progress. This paradox is explained by three factors: strong supply-side foundations, at least in western Europe; the Marshall Plan; and the revival of the German economy as foundational pillar of the European division of labour. By contrast, in Eastern Europe, the foundations for recovery were undermined by the war-induced demographic disaster, which limited postwar growth

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
