Lambert, Hendricks & Ross: American ventriloquism
No full textIt has been fifty-one years since the last Lambert, Hendricks & Ross studio recording. Since then Dave Lambert was tragically killed on the Connecticut Turnpike, Jon Hendricks has become a University of Toledo professor, and Annie Ross is still performing frequently worldwide. Few jazz vocalists are accepted into the scholastic canon. Fewer are filed in the annals of music history. But, if any vocalists should be regarded important to the story of jazz music it is LHR. Their impact on the art of vocalese has yet to be fully felt. In exploring the motivation behind the group’s dense, meticulous, trailblazing recordings, this study attempts to be a supplement for what was too much for liner notes in the late 50’s and 60’s, while simultaneously giving a brief encompassing historical outline. By examining the social and musical impact of Lambert Hendricks & Ross, this study attempts to further legitimate the art of jazz vocals and vocalese.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Bilal Salaa
The Association between Subsidies and Productivity: Panel Analysis
Get PDFThis study investigates the impact of subsidies, which is a proxy for incentivesgiven to firms in an economy, on value added created by entire economy and four differentsectors (i.e., agriculture, manufacturing, industry, and services). The largest period understudy is between 1972 and 2013 and the largest sample covers 151 countries. First of allunivariate and multivariate fixed time effect models (FEM) and the following univariateand multivariate random time effect models (REM) were estimated using unbalanced paneldata. Value added and its logarithmic values are used in the model as a dependent variable.Five different value added variables are used in order to evaluate the sensitivity and validityof our empirical results. This study empirically investigates the effect of subsidy on valueadded level of a country. In order to test this relationship the study use five differentindicators for value added. The data used in analyses are unbalanced data and cover theyears between 1972 and 2013 for 151 countries in the largest sense. The main finding of thestudy implies that countries with higher subsidy level experience higher level of valueadded
Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth: A Long-Term Co-integrated Analysis for Turkey
Get PDFEnergy and especially electricity consumption is a variable that can be also considered as the indication of the social development as far as economic growth is concerned. Energy, as the input of the industry and other production branches, is an indication for the production increase; and also for consumption with regards to raising the living standards of the consumers. In literature with its situation, it is argued that the electricity consumption is included the mutual causality relation with the growth data in a long-term. As there are several empirical studies that support this hypothesis, in some economies, especially it may sometimes be concluded that the data of the energy utilization in the production area can negatively affect growth in the long-term. Therefore, the literature does not come to the agreed results for the relation between these two variables. In this study, the causality relations have been analyzed by dividing the electricity consumption into three categories; residential, industrial and others, based on the data of the Turkish economy. In the lights of the obtained findings, it is concluded that in long term, there is at most one long-term co-integrating vector between GDP and electricity consumed in residential and industrial areas and also two-way causality relation between GDP and electricity consumed in these sectors. In this case, electricity consumption can be considered as an indicator for both growth and social development
Labor force participation rate and economic growth: observations for Turkey
Get PDFAlthough some discussions about the relation between population and the economic growth are made for a long time, today there is a general opinion that the population growth has positive relation with the economic growth. This opinion is also supported by the empirical studies. Despite there is a growth directly advancing with the population growth, the advancing of the population in the opposite direction with the rate of the labor force participation is thought to be a paradox. This paradox reveals some concepts, namely, "jobless growth" and " unskilled growth". In this study, an explanation is sought about the remaining or less increasing of the rate of the labor force participation although a linear relation between the GDP and the population and the labor. The official statements refer that this paradox is related with the lack of female participation in the labor force and employment in the agricultural sector to be falling. This study tries to point that this quantity cannot create a quality although the growth is quantitative
Bütçe Büyüklükleri/Performansı ve Büyüme Verileri: Türkiye Üzerine (2000:01-2012.03) Zaman Serileri Analizi
Get PDFIn this study, the overall sum of the activities of the public sector in the economy, "public economic efficiency" and the event is defined as the conjectural characteristics of the different forms have changed, but is assumed to continue. Still the primary economic goals set by the mechanisms of political conjuncture in accordance with the public sector on the basis of trying to alter the style of the event. Turkey's economy, the continuity of economic activity, the size of the budget (budget expenditure) and budget performance (budget deficits) focuses on taking the relationship between the growth data are subject to time-series analysis. Quarterly data for the period of 2000:01-2012:03 for the economy of Turkey were studied. This is based on the data, within the general framework is derived from the above-mentioned three propositions are tested. First, budget deficits correlated significantly with the growth data. The second proposition, with direct and indirect tax revenues as share of total tax revenues and the size of its budget, changes in the size of the public sector are examined. In the third proposal, the budget focuses on the relationship between size of the growth data. As the results in the period, the size of the public sector budget in a strong relationship with GDP and the budget is largely funded by tax revenues. Tax revenues from indirect taxes at an average rate of 68.47% is obtained
Interaction Between The Economic Growth and the Construction Industry: A Time Series Analysis on Turkey (2000-2012)
Get PDFIn this study the relation between the economic growth and the construction industry has been tackled. While the growth the rate of the construction industry in the developing countries is more than the GDP growth rate, it is detected that the percent age it takes in the GDP of developed countries relatively diminishes. On the other hand the construction industry’s growth in the economic fluctuation periods, in the aftermath of a recession, is more than the GDP. These two proposals are tested by the quarterly data of 2000:01-2012:03 for Turkey. Additionally the relation between the economic growth and the construction industry is subjected to the Granger causality test
Credit Default Swap (CDS) Spreads: The Analysis of Time Series for The Integration with The Interest Rates and The Growth in Turkish Economy
Get PDFThis text is for the relation between credit default swap (CDS) spreads and some chosen macro economic data in Turkish economy. Credit default swap spread as an insurance spread is the most important sign for the solvency of the debitors in that country about the securities that public sector and companies export in an economy. Thus, the decisions of investors for the investment feasibility related to economy are based on the information that was supplied by these spreads. Therefore, the credit default swap spreads have become a kind of reliability index. Moreover, they have become an information source about the general view of economy except the investee securities. In this study, the relation between the interest rates of CDS spreads and GDP is determined over time
Structural Breakage and Long-term Cointegration Analysis for Economic Growth in G-7, BRICS and MATIK Countries
Get PDFIn this article, long term data is analysed for the total growth of the world economy and the growth of developed (G7) and of the rapid developing economies. The total population of BRICS and MATIK countries generate 49,16% of the the world’s population, and their economic size generates 26,46% of total world economy. Especially, the basic hypotheses of this study is that BRICS+MATIK countries whose economic shares slowly increase are compared with G-7 and the global economy, i) help of BRICS+MATIK economies rapidly increase the growth rate of global economy: ii) BRICS+MATIK economies cause structural breakage in the growth rate of world economy. In this way, it may be possible that the help of G-7 is compared with the help of BRICS+MATIK economies for the growth of world economy. The study uses the annual data for the 1962-2012 periods. The most important finding is that BRICS+MATIK economies affect the growth rate of world economy, and it constantly increases according to the help of G-7 in post-cold war era. The result has been acquired that World, G-7, and BRICS+MATIK economies cointegrated in the long term
The Effects of Oil Prices On Inflation and Growth: Time Series Analysis In Turkish Economy For 1988:01-2013:04 Period
Get PDFIn this study, the analysis was that the capacity of creating inflation depends on oil prices as the one of energy types that is a major input of aggregate output which becomes a source of economic growth with increasing in costs. The aggregate output is also a function of energy that is the one of production inputs. Moreover, energy is an imported by several countries because it is acquired from the limited sources around the world. It causes inflation of importing countries to exporting countries through oil prices. At the same time, the rises of oil prices causes inflation because it increases the product costs. The second argument is that the increasing of aggregate output is generally affected by energy use, and is privately affected by oil use. In that case, oil import is both efficient on inflation and on growth. Tested hypothesis in the study is that oil prices have an inflationary effect because of its effect on costs, and is that this activity will negatively affect the growth because of its effect on expectations. In this study, the effects of the crude oil import of Turkey for inflation and growth are analysed over the long term. The committed analyses show that GDP was affected by oil imports, and it also caused inflation in the Turkish economy
