No full textSpotlight on…Maxwell Street
No full textThis article puts Tim Cresswell’s most recent book Maxwell Street: Writing and Thinking Place in the spotlight.Tim Cresswell is Ogilvie Professor of Geography at the University of Edinburgh, poet and author of cultural geography titles including Geographical Thought: A critical introduction(2013) and Place: An introduction (2014). These are key texts for undergraduate geographers, and since the inclusion of place as core content in A level geography (DfE, 2014), the latter text is a must-read for teachers keen to develop their understanding of place; the most central geographical concept. Cresswell’s (2019) latest book Maxwell Street: Writing and Thinking Place will appeal to readers interested in urban life, cultural geography and the city of Chicago. It explores place from the real-world context of a colourful market in one of the city’s oldest residential districts. Such a focus on a particular locale is rarely taken in school geography, where subject content is commonly organised by themes, concepts or case studies (Taylor, 2013).Maxwell Street is a book in three parts. It reverses the usual structure of academic texts, which often start rather than end with theory. To begin, Cresswell considers how one writes about place. In part two Cresswell meanders through Maxwell Street, drawing on rich historical sources and the author’s own experience to interweave methods, texts andrepresentations in a montage format. In the final part, Cresswell contemplates how geographers think and write about place in order to provide a theoretical framework for use when exploring other places.</div
DECAY OF SOLUTIONS OF MAXWELL-KLEIN-GORDON EQUATIONS WITH ARBITRARY MAXWELL FIELD
No full textIn the author's previous work, it has been shown that solutions of Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations in R3+1 possess some form of global strong decay properties with data bounded in some weighted energy space. In this paper, we prove pointwise decay estimates for the solutions for the case when the initial data are merely small on the scalar field but can be arbitrarily large on the Maxwell field. This extends the previous result of Lindblad and Sterbenz, in which smallness was assumed both for the scalar field and the Maxwell field.SCI(E)ARTICLE81829-1902
Foreign direct investment in a macroeconomic framework : finance, efficiency, incentives, and distortions
No full textDoes foreign direct investment (FDI) increase domestic investment, or does it provide additional foreign exchange for a pre-existing current account deficit, or some linear combination of the two? The author investigates this question for a group of five Pacific Basin countries and a control group of 11 other developing countries. For the sample of all 16 developing countries, the author finds that FDI does not provide additional balance of payments financing for a pre-existing current account deficit. In the control group of 11 developing countries, FDI is associated with reduced domestic investment - implying that FDI to those countries is simply a close substitute for other capital inflows. For the five Pacific Basin market economies, however, FDI raises domestic investment by the full extent of the FDI inflow. The author finds that FDI has a significantly negative impact on national saving in the sample of all 16 developing countries. For the control group, this negative effect is similar in magnitude to FDI's negative effect on domestic investment - implying a zero effect on the current account. But FDI's negative effect on national saving in the five Pacific Basin developing market economies implies that FDI could have more of a negative effect on the current account than through increased domestic investment alone. The author also investigates the impact of FDI on economic growth in these 16 countries, taking into account distortions in the economies. He estimates reduced-form current account equations, and presents an analytical framework for estimating FDI's effect on economic growth in the presence of incentive-disincentive packages and other economic distortions. He illustrates his framework using indicators of foreign trade and financial distortions. His main conclusion: the effect of FDI differs markedly from one group of countries to another. FDI has a negative effect on economic growth in the control group. It has the same positive effect on growth as domestically financed investment does in the Pacific Basin countries. The main cause for the different effect is the low level of distortion in the Pacific Basin countries.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Foreign Direct Investment,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Macroeconomic Management
