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
William Maxwell
No full textWilliam Maxwell (b. 1908–d. 2000) was born in Lincoln, Illinois, and lived there until he was fourteen, when he moved to Chicago. He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and then spent a year at Harvard, where he earned an MA in 1931. He then returned to Urbana, where he took graduate courses and taught freshman composition for two years. In 1936, Maxwell moved to New York City and found work at the New Yorker, where he served for forty years, first in the art department and then as a fiction editor. In 1945, Maxwell married Emily Gilman Noyes, and the couple had two children, Katherine Farrington and Emily Brooke. As a fiction editor, he worked with such notable writers as John Cheever (b. 1912–d. 1982), Vladimir Nabokov (b. 1899–d. 1977), Frank O’Connor (b. 1903–d. 1966), John O’Hara (b. 1905–d. 1970), V. S. Pritchett (b. 1900–d. 1997), J. D. Salinger (b. 1919–d. 2010), John Updike (b. 1932–d. 2009), and Eudora Welty (b. 1909–d. 2001). From 1969 to 1972, he served as president of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. During the course of his lifetime, he published six novels, two collections of stories, two collections of tales (one printed privately), a volume of collected stories, a family history, a volume of essays and reviews, and two books for children. The defining event in Maxwell’s life was the death of his mother in the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic. In the 1985 Godine edition of the novel The Chateau, a “Note about the Author” appears on the final page, and in this note Maxwell recalls his mother’s death: “It happened too suddenly, with no warning, and we none of us could believe it or bear it. My father’s face turned the color of ashes and stayed that way a whole year. The nightmare went on and on.” The subject of his mother’s death is treated, either directly or indirectly, in a number of his works, including his final novel, So Long, See You Tomorrow, which won the William Dean Howells medal and the National Book Award. In addition to these and other awards that honor individual works, Maxwell received several awards for lifetime achievement, including the Gold Medal for lifetime achievement in the category of Fiction from the American Institute of Arts and Letters and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, which recognizes a body of work that exemplifies excellence in the short-story genre.</p
Circuit Bodging: Laser Tripwire Sensor
No full textOne very important application of electrical engineering is security systems. Although fear of a Big Brother style continuous surveillance system might be justified in some places, we would once again like to remind you that technology can be used for Good as well as Evil. In this issue of Maxwell we present: a laser tripwire. It’s been done in the movies, and now it’s been done in Maxwell.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Circuit Bodging: Atari Punk Console
No full textCircuit bodging is back! Maxwell is proud to present small, simple, but ultimately lovable little circuits to build for your own, personal pleasure. In this edition we are featuring: The Atari Punk Console. The Atari Punk Console (or APC) is a 555 timer IC based noise maker circuit. The original was designed by Forrest M. Mims III, and published in his book “Engineer’s Mini-Notebook - 555 Circuits” (Siliconcepts, 1984). It uses two 555 timers to create a variable pulse width oscillator with a similar sound to the infamous Atari 2600.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Sensory and motor neuronal networks of the spinal cord
No full textThis body of work is focused upon neuronal networks of the spinal cord which are
involved in processing of sensory information and generation of motor output. It
includes a detailed account of the synaptic organisation, target neurons and
neurotransmitter content of central terminals of various classes of cutaneous and
proprioceptive primary afferent axons. It shows that presynaptic boutons at
axoaxonic synapses, which regulate primary afferent transmission, contain GABA
but that other transmitters such as glycine, neuropeptide Y and acetylcholine may
be co-localised in these structures. The principal conclusion is that certain subtypes
of presynaptic inhibitory interneurons target the terminals of specific types of primary
afferent fibres but the majority of these neurons do not from 'pure' presynaptic
inhibitory systems because many of them also mediate postsynaptic inhibition. A
further series of investigations provides a detailed analysis of the organisation of
monoaminergic axon terminals and the receptors that they act upon. This work
supports the existence of two parallel modes of action for monoamines in the cord; a
diffuse (non-synaptic or paracrine) system and a specific system which acts through
direct synaptic actions on particular target neurons. Serotonin, for example, acts as
a general modulator but also regulates transmission in some pathways selectively.
Amongst the cells that are targeted selectively, are interneurons in reflex pathways
and a class of projection neuron which receives monosynaptic input from
nociceptive primary afferent axons. More recently, the focus has been on the
organization and neurochemical properties of spinal interneurons. Until recently,
there were few satisfactory classifications of spinal interneurons and the relationship
between functional and structural properties of such cells was unclear. A detailed
analysis of interneurons has shown that there is a clear relationship between the
action of a given interneuron (i.e. whether it is inhibitory or excitatory), its axonal
projections and the classes of cell that it targets. In conclusion, the work reported in
this thesis is an attempt to elucidate neuronal circuits which underlie sensory and
motor processes in the spinal cord by applying modern functional anatomical
approaches.SELECTED REVIEW ARTICLES (PEER REVIEWED):

SIM(1)–VSR Maxwell–Chern–Simons electrodynamics

This proposal is based upon the construction of a proper study of the SIM(1)–VSR gauge-symmetry. It is shown that the VSR nonlocal effects present a significant and healthy departure from the usual MCS theory. The classical dynamics is analysed in full detail, by studying the solution for the electric field and static energy for this configuration. Afterwards, the interaction energy between opposite charges is derived and we show that the VSR effects play an important part in obtaining a (novel) finite expression for the static potential
