Austerity: the history of a dangerous idea
No full textAusterity is the order of the day in Europe, but Professor Mark Blyth argues that austerity is a very dangerous idea and does not work. While it makes sense for any one state to try and cut its way to growth, it simply cannot work when all states try it simultaneously: all we do is shrink the economy.

Entrevista a Mark Blyth : 26 de enero 2021
Get PDFMark Blyth es profesor de Economía Internacional William R. Rhodes '57, en el Instituto Watson de Asuntos Internacionales y Públicos, de la Universidad de Brown (EEUU). Se doctoró en Ciencias Políticas en la Universidad de Columbia en 1999. Después se incorporó a la Universidad Johns Hopkins antes de trasladarse a la Universidad de Brown en 2009. Su investigación se centra en las causas de la estabilidad y el cambio en la economía y en por qué la gente sigue creyendo en ideas económicas estúpidas a pesar de los cubos de pruebas en contra. El poder de las ideas económicas es un tema común en el trabajo de Blyth, como se ve en su reciente y premiado libro, Austeridad: Historia de una idea peligrosa (2015); The Future of the Euro (Nueva York: Oxford University Press 2015), y en su más reciente libro Angrynomics (Nueva York: Columbia University Press 2020).Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociale
Five minutes with Mark Blyth: “Turn it into things people can understand, let go of the academese, and people will engage”
No full textMark Blyth became the accidental star of the political blogosphere last year when he appeared in a video promoting the key message behind his upcoming book ‘Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea’. Here he explains why being unreadable helps economists get their message across, how fan and hate mail have become part of his professional life and how his latest project illustrates that there is a market for academic ideas

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
