Deer in medieval Ireland: preliminary evidence from Kilteasheen, Co. Roscommon
No full textAnimal bones are among the most common finds from excavations in
Ireland, and the majority of these are the remains of cattle, sheep and pig. While
bones from other species are also found they rarely receive much attention in
excavation reports where most of the discussion is focused on the economically
important species. Deer bones are usually only excavated in small numbers but are
common themes in medieval artwork, poetry and literature,1
and so can be said to
have a symbolic importance far beyond their economic value.
A red deer skull and six fragments of antler from at least three individual
deer were found during recent excavations at a high-status ecclesiastical site at
Kilteasheen, Knockvicar, Co. Roscommon, on the shores of Lough Cé, and were
analyzed by the author. These bones provided an opportunity to partially redress the
lack of attention paid to the minor species by synthesizing what is known about
deer and deer hunting in medieval Ireland, so hopefully providing archaeologists
and historians with useful background information. The paper briefly reviews the
biology of deer and the processes of deer hunting before discussing the material
from Kilteasheen and its significance.No (Pre-print - minor changes were made prior to full publication

THE TAX POLICY AND ITS IMPACT ON LABOUR MARKET IN SLOVAKIA
No full textThe global financial crisis has manifest unfavorably also in Slovakia namely in economic growth decline and in the increase unemployment. The labor market is depressed by excess labor supply over labor demand. Under the impression of global crisis the Slovak republic, as well as the other states, takes in arrangements for reduction its impacts on economy and on entrepreneurs and citizens. Received measures of labor market policy against crisis should affect labor demand, i.e. willingness to employ and incentive to find a job. Tax policy measures against crisis should support low consumption through lowering tax burden of income and improvement business environment.tax policy, labor market, unemployment, tax stabilization function, employment policy, employee premium
Romanian Public Debt in Interwar Period and Between 1948-1989
No full textIn analyzing the public debt problem, there is an analytic presentation and also a historic presentation. The present project is a combination between the two modalities, emphasizing the institutional side, where the historic presentation is made by underlining the changing moments in history. The unitary characteristic of the public debt should be taken into account; also, there is the option between analyzing the public debt in the larger sense and in the unitary sense. In the larger sense, the public debt includes also the indebt of the country’s financial institutions and the local authorities. We will analyze, out of the larger public debt problematic, the ones regarding the loans contracted and managed by the Ministry of Finance, which are considered to be part of the public debt. For understanding the legislative environment of constituting and managing Romania’s public debt, some notes are necessary to be made. First, even the expression of legislative environment has to be understood starting from the premises that for the entire analyzed period, Romania had democratic institutions, which acted and manifested according to the modern world’s accepted rules. A problem involved by the analysis of the content regards the up to date theme, a discussion about the public debt in Romania. Initially we started from the idea that the thematic is up to date through the clarifications that can be brought by our own past experience to serve the present. There are also other arguments: we noticed the necessity of accuracy, the terminology precision, there being lots of gaps in understanding the public debt mechanism. The minimum explanation of public debt domain is necessary, being known that the terminology used has changed its meanings in time, and this era’s approach of the terminology gives us the opportunity to understand the public debt phenomenon in that period of time. Present governing works would be more efficient, more precise and more accurate if past experience would be considered.
Ensaios em finan??as p??blicas municipais
No full textEsta tese busca discutir problemas relacionados ??s finan??as p??blicas municipais
no pa??s. Um aprimoramento de nosso federalismo fiscal, com maior descentraliza????o de recursos e implementa????o de regras de transfer??ncias federativas com maiores incentivos pr??-efici??ncia ??? aumentando os incentivos pr??-obten????o de melhores resultados sociais por parte das unidades subfederadas ??? pode se revelar instrumento importante na melhoria de nossas condi????es sociais. Para isto, dividiu-se esta tese em quatro partes distintas.
No primeiro cap??tulo, discutem-se os impactos das receitas petrol??feras sobre as
finan??as p??blicas municipais. As mudan??as legais ocorridas no pa??s na d??cada de
noventa do ??ltimo s??culo - relativas ao setor petrol??fero - levaram a crescente (e
concentrada) transfer??ncia de recursos do setor para os estados e munic??pios
brasileiros. A forte sensa????o que estes estariam sendo desperdi??ados de alguma
forma vem suscitando discuss??es sobre a necessidade de se reformular sua
distribui????o. As recentes descobertas de megacampos petrol??feros no pr??-sal do litoral
brasileiro somente intensificaram este processo. Buscou-se identificar os efeitos
destas transfer??ncias sobre as vari??veis fiscais municipais no pa??s. Detectou-se que
n??o ocorreu substitui????o tribut??ria, ou seja, estes recursos n??o diminu??ram o esfor??o
arrecadat??rio dos munic??pios. Em compensa????o, tanto os recursos cuja distribui????o ?? bem mais concentrada (referentes aos royalties excedentes) quanto aqueles mais bem-distribu??dos (referentes aos royalties originais) levaram as prefeituras a aumentar seus gastos correntes (piorando sua composi????o do ponto de vista social) e diminuir seus investimentos. O contr??rio parece ocorrer com os recursos cuja distribui????o se d?? de forma intermedi??ria (os royalties referentes ??s participa????es especiais. No segundo cap??tulo, discute-se o impacto das receitas petrol??feras sobre a profici??ncia dos alunos at?? a quarta s??rie prim??ria das escolas p??blicas municipais. As receitas petrol??feras ??? agregadas ou n??o ??? n??o se mostraram estatisticamente significativas na explica????o do desempenho observado pelos alunos da quarta s??rie prim??ria das escolas municipais em portugu??s ou matem??tica. Este resultado, entretanto, deve ser olhado com cautela, uma vez que n??o ?? trivial identificar como (e o tempo necess??rio) estes efeitos seriam gerados. Entretanto, diferentes fontes de receitas municipais impactariam de forma diferenciada as profici??ncias observadas nos testes de portugu??s e matem??tica, explicitando a necessidade de se entender melhor estas diferen??as para se desenhar mecanismo mais eficiente de repasse de recursos constitucionais aos munic??pios. No terceiro cap??tulo, estudam-se os impactos das emancipa????es municipais ocorridas na d??cada de 90 sobre o bem-estar das popula????es locais. Devido ?? Constitui????o Federal de 1988, o n??mero de munic??pios no Brasil multiplicou-se fortemente na d??cada de 90 do ??ltimo s??culo. Mais de mil munic??pios foram criados em todo o pa??s, fazendo seu n??mero ultrapassar a casa dos 5.500. Este processo tem sido interpretado de forma bastante negativa. Baseado em evid??ncias aned??ticas, se pressup??e que os atores pol??ticos locais o utilizaram para se apropriar de maior
parcela dos recursos transferidos de outros n??veis governamentais. Entretanto,
nenhum esfor??o mais sistem??tico foi realizado buscando calcular, de maneira efetiva, os resultados sociais l??quidos deste processo. ?? isto que se busca fazer aqui, utilizando dados sobre os munic??pios mineiros - cujo n??mero passa de 723 em 1991
para 853 em 2000. Foram detectados impactos positivos relacionados a diversas
vari??veis educacionais e de sa??de. Ao mesmo tempo, o contr??rio ocorreu com os
indicadores de pobreza e indig??ncia. Este resultado mostra que o movimento observado de emancipa????o municipal talvez tenha sido bastante ben??fico, sinalizando para a exist??ncia de mercados pol??ticos eficientes nestas localidades, o que indicaria a
necessidade de se manter uma maior autonomia local relativa a processos de emancipa????o de distritos. Por fim, no quarto cap??tulo, analisam-se os impactos de lei (implementada em Minas Gerais) que buscou aumentar os incentivos pr??-efici??ncia das prefeituras
municipais a partir das transfer??ncias federativas. Buscando melhorar as condi????es de vida dos munic??pios mineiros, o governo estadual mineiro instituiu, em 1995, a lei
12.040, conhecida como Lei Robin Hood. Esta permitia que 25% dos recursos de ICMS a serem distribu??dos aos munic??pios mineiros se dessem sobre resultados observ??veis em diversas ??reas tais como sa??de, educa????o, conserva????o ecol??gica, entre outras. Ou seja, esta institu??a, em rela????o a estas transfer??ncias, um contrato de alto poder com os munic??pios relacionados ??s pol??ticas p??blicas implementadas. O estudo destas transfer??ncias (relativas ?? educa????o e sa??de) mostrou resultados d??bios. Resultados positivos relativos ?? educa????o e ?? sa??de parecem ocorrer em todo o estado, mas os incentivos dados poderiam ser bem maiores - faz-se necess??rio um refinamento das regras da partilha destas transfer??ncias. Dada a relativa escassez deste tipo de contrato em transfer??ncias federativas, seja no Brasil, seja no restante do mundo, este resultado aponta a necessidade de utiliza????o de instrumentos de maior poder nas rela????es federativas, buscando incrementar as condi????es de vida locais
