The Impacts of the Climate Change Levy on business: Evidence from Microdata
No full textWe estimate the impacts of the Climate Change Levy (CCL) on manufacturing plants using panel data from the UK production census. Our identification strategy builds on the comparison of outcomes between plants subject to the CCL and plants that were granted an 80% discount on the levy after joining a Climate Change Agreement (CCA). Exploiting exogenous variation in eligibility for CCA participation, we find that the CCL had a strong negative impact on energy intensity and electricity use. We cannot reject the hypothesis that the tax had no detrimental effects on economic performance and on plant exit.Climate policy, carbon tax, United Kingdom, manufacturing, impact assessment

Yoni Gavish, July 22, 2008 on Lycium (HUJ 15560). Description. Relatively small. Colouration of carapace and legs yellow, opisthosoma pinkish (in alcohol) bearing a large dark scutum. Dark AME touching ALE; PME rectangular shaped and a little larger than AME; eyes of posterior row strongly procurved in dorsal view. Labium longer than wide. Sternum oval. Chelicerae without teeth, barely with a low keel. Male. Measurements (1 ɗ): total length 3.0; carapace length 1.4, width 1.0, index 1.4; labial index 1.39; clypeal index 0.5; MOQ index 5.19; legs length: I 2.8, II 2.4, III 2.2, IV 3.0; patella-tibia index 0.78. Palpus. Small. Whitish, fleshy conductor partly envelopes brown cylindrical, slightly sinous embolus (Figs 44, 45). Large apically distended tibial apophysis ends with spur-like ectal projection (Fig. 45). Female. Described by Levy (1999 b); an illustration of a fresh epigynum of a female from Lakhish is here added (Fig. 46). Diagnosis. The shape of the male palpal conductor, embolus and the peculiar tip of the tibial apophysis separate P. taborensis distinctly from all other Poecilochroa species. Distribution. Israel. Records: Mt.

Cooper and Levy calendar, Seattle, 1896
No full textIn 1892, Isaac Cooper (b. 1861) and his brother-in-law Louis Levy (1864-1947) founded Cooper & Levy, a Seattle retail and mail-order business. The company was particularly known for selling groceries and other supplies to miners heading north to Alaska and the Yukon. A decade later, they sold the prosperous business to local department store The Bon Marche. Both men were active in Seattle's civic life and became prominent philanthropists.
This 1896 calendar, featuring four girls, promotes the Cooper & Levy brand of baking powder and reminds customers of the store's low prices and its mail order business.Caption information source: University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections, Cooper and Levy families papers, accessed at http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv222451 calendar: color; 19.5 x 14.75 in
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
