Green and purple jobs for equitable and sustainable development
No full textThis paper analyzes the impact of public spending in the care economy, the green economy and infrastructure on the employment of men and women and on GDP in selected emerging economies. Using a vector autoregression (VAR) model for each country, we explore policy scenarios involving a mix of public spending for an equitable green transition to a caring and sustainable economy. The findings indicate the potential for redeployment of brown, high-carbon, and fossil fuel-based sectors to green and care jobs by creating new decent formal jobs with adequate pay, working conditions, rights, and social security while addressing the effects of technological change on employment in emerging economies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Debt targets built on quicksand a critique of the N K Singh committee report
Full text linkDespite being an improvement on
the ad hoc and restrictive Fiscal
Responsibility and Budget
Management framework, the
N K Singh Committee report
suffers from some shortcomings.
A short critique of the report’s
framing is presented, suggesting
that the report is insuffi ciently
attentive to the considerations of
macroeconomic coordination.

Some disjointed reflections on the private and the public
Full text linkIn the late 1990s I went to the US for graduate
school. As young graduate students, experiences
are often similar between people- the same classes
inspire, the same anxieties about life and the same
adventures arise and we often deal with them
in similar manner. My fellow graduate students
came from places like Canada, the UK, China,
Europe, Korea, Turkey and, of course, the US. The
enormous energy and vitality that sprung from
those encounters continue to reverberate in my
life more than a decade later. I did not find myself
better equipped in any way to face life than them.
Only years later when talking to one of them did
I realize that there was only one deep structural
difference between my fellow graduate adventurers
(one that was not evident at all in our engagement
with our work and life) and me: they were educated
in public schools, while I, like almost all the South
Asians there, was educated entirely in a private
school. As it happened, I married one of my fellow
graduate students who, throughout her life, from
kindergarten to PhD, was in the public system
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Differing preferences between anti-inflation and anti-unemployment policy among the rich and the poor
No full textEstimating Guard Labor
Full text linkAs a background paper to Jayadev and Bowles (2006), this paper provides details on our measure of guard labor as we measure these in labor units. Data from the United States indicate a significant increase in its extent in the U.S. over the period 1890 to the present. Cross-national comparisons show a significant statistical association between income inequality and the fraction of the labor force that is constituted by guard labor, as well as with measures of political legitimacy (inversely) and political conflict
