Peter Howitt: A Keynesian still in recovery
No full textPeter Howitt is best known for his contributions to growth theory, but his work in short- run economics, which began with his Ph.D thesis and still continues, is important and deserves attention. It lies firmly in the Keynesian macro-disequilibrium tradition of Clower and Leijonhufvud, and for a long time has been overshadowed by New-classical and New-Keynesian orthodoxy. However, the development of agent based modelling and behavioural economics will perhaps give disequilibrium macroeconomics a new lease on life
Endogenous Growth, Productivity and Economic Policy: A Progress Report
No full textIn recent years, our understanding of the sources of growth has been strongly influenced by endogenous growth theory. In the first article, Peter Howitt of Brown University, one of the leading researchers in the field, provides a progress report on the current state of the endogenous growth literature. Among the many policy insights discussed by Howitt are that policies fostering technology transfer provide countries with the ability to converge to the productivity growth rate of the technological leaders; that educational attainment, the health of the population, public infrastructure and tax policy are all important drivers of productivity growth; and that competition policy can actually spur innovation and hence growth through a variety of channels, including a desire on the part of firms to escape competition by remaining at the technological frontier.Productivity, Macroeconomic Policy, Investment, Competition, Research and Development, Endogenous Growth, Growth, Endogenous, Scale Effect, Patents, General Purpose Technologies

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).

The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

The illocutionary and perlocutionary act in the reasonable doubt, a movie directed by peter howitt
No full textArfah Dzumillah. The Illocutionary and Perlocutionary Act in the Reasonable Doubt, A Movie Directed by Peter Howitt. Thesis. Jakarta: English Language and Literature Department, Letters and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2016.This research focuses on the kinds of illocutionary act based on by John. R. Searle?s theory in the Reasonable Doubt movie directed by Peter Howitt and written by Peter A Dowling released on January 17, 2014 in the USA. The movie script used to gather the data is written by www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk. This research tries to reveal whether the expected perlocutionary act will be fulfilled by the hearers involved in the conversation in this movie. The aim of this research is to find out the classification of Illocutionary acts performed by the speakers in the movie dialogues and to evaluate whether the hearers will respond to the same way the speaker is expecting, in other words, fulfilling the perlocutionary act of the speech act. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative method. The data are collected by watching the movie and reading all of the dialogues. After that, the writer classifies the speech acts found in the dialogues based on Searle?s theoretical framework. After classifying the types of illocutionary acts, the writer points out the most frequently used type of illocutionary act and the reason behind it. Then, the writer describes whether the perlocutionary act expected by the speaker really occurs in each conversation. The result of this study shows that all types of illocutionary acts are found in this movie, with representative as the most frequently used type of illocutionary act. Furthermore, most of the perlocutionary acts expected by the speakers in this movie are fulfilled by the hearers, except in some cases where specific contextual factors do not allow the speakers to do what the speakers want.vii, 80 lemba
