European competition law annual 2012 : competition, regulation and public policies
No full textThis volume contains papers presented at the 17th Annual EU Competition Law and Policy Workshop, organized by Philip Lowe and Mel Marquis and held at the European University Institute on 13-14 July 2012. From a variety of angles the book explores the themes of competition, regulation and certain public policies; their interactions; and, in some cases, their mutual tensions. The authors of the various chapters consider legal and economic issues relating to network industries, industrial, environmental and trade policy, and intellectual property and innovation policies, among others. Comparative views and the views of judges from different jurisdiction are provided, and techniques for mediating among different policy objectives and frameworks are discussed.-- List of Sponsors -- List of Participants -- Introduction – Competition, Regulation and Other Public Policies : An Overview / Mel Marquis and Vejlko Milutinovic -- Panel I.

Blueprints for rural economy: Philip Lowe\u27s work in rural and environmental social science
No full textPhilip Lowe died in February 2020, and so an academic career spanning five decades in environmental and rural social science and the sociology of knowledge came to an end. A pioneer of the social science of environmentalism since the early 1990s, Philip Lowe had been closely associated with the Centre for Rural Economy at Newcastle University in the UK and had been the intellectual force behind establishing rural economy as both a subject and mode of social science analysis. This article reflects on a career and the evolving concept of ‘rural economy’ as an economic form, a policy realm and a knowledge practice. Through this history, it presents an account of the contribution of Philip Lowe\u27s research and writing that, as a result of his death, now stands as a bounded and complete body of work for the benefit of future generations of scholars
Agency Costs, Balance Sheets and the Business Cycle
No full textThe 1980s witnessed large increases in corporate debt and sustained asset price inflation. More recently, asset prices, particularly commercial property prices, have fallen significantly. The effect of these changes on balance sheets, and their implications for the business cycle, have generated considerable interest among academics and policy makers. In this paper, we review recent theoretical models that link the evolution of the business cycle to changes in firm equity. This link arises out of the asymmetry of information between borrowers and lenders and between managers and owners. These asymmetries lead to distortions in decision making which affect both the supply of and demand for credit, and ultimately investment and output. Deteriorations in the net worth of corporations and financial institutions are likely to lead to a reduction in both credit demand and supply and to an amplification of the business cycle. We develop a simple model in which the information problems between risk-averse management and the firm’s owners lead to investment decisions that depend upon the financial condition of the firm. We also review the Australian evidence of the importance of balance sheet strength on the availability of finance. Empirical results suggest that asset price inflation or increases in corporate equity, even after controlling for general business conditions, lead to finance becoming easier to obtain. This suggests that a collapse of asset prices, or an aggregate demand shock that reduces firms’ equity, will result in decreased supply of external finance.

The Long-wavelength Earth model (LOWE) at 50 s Minimum Period
No full text<p>This repository holds an updated version of the Long-wavelength Earth Model (LOWE) as presented in Thrastarson et al. (2022). Since the original publication, the model has been further developed, with several full-waveform inversion updates down to a minimum period of 50 s. This version of LOWE in this repository is a submodel within the second generation of the Collaborative Seismic Earth Model (CSEM2, Noe et al. (submitted)).</p>
<p>Methodological developments and a description of the data are explained in detail in the publication about the final version of LOWE, now called REVEAL (Thrastarson et al., 2024).</p>
