    No full text
    Emily Orlando is co-editor and a contributing author (with Meredith L. Goldsmith), Introduction: Edith Wharton, A Citizen of the World, p.1-15. Edith Wharton and Cosmopolitanism shows that Wharton was highly engaged with global issues of her time, due in part to her extensive travel abroad. Examining both her canonical and lesser-known works and including her art historical discoveries, her political writings, and her travel writing, the essays in this volume explore Wharton\u27s diverse, complex, and sometimes problematic relationship to a cosmopolitan vision.-- Publisher\u27s description.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/english-books/1067/thumbnail.jp

    Edith L. Fisch, Associate Professor, 1962-1965. Professor Fisch served as president of the New York Women\u27s Bar Association from 1970 to 1971. She was the author of the treatise Fisch on New York Evidence and was the first female law professor in New York State when she began teaching at New York Law School in 1962. She was also the first woman to earn the J.S.D. degree at Columbia University Law School and the first person ever to earn all degrees awarded by the law school, receiving her LL.B. in 1948, her LL.M. in 1949, and her J.S.D. in 1950. Her accomplishments are all the more significant because Professor Fisch had contracted polio at the age of 12 and was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/bar_leaders/1003/thumbnail.jp

The manuscripts represent The Magic of Oz (published posthumously in 1919) and The Tin Woodman of Oz (1918). The Magic of Oz is written on the versos of two earlier manuscripts published under the pseudonym Edith Van Dyne. This collection was digitized as part of Project REVEAL (Read and View English & American Literature)

    Friends and rivals, Edith Wharton\u27s women

    No full text
    Based on primary research, my dissertation, Friends and Rivals, Edith Wharton\u27s Women, examines the two plots that the author used throughout her career. Her dominant plot is outlined in Souls Belated (1899), the tale of a women who escapes a conventionaly stifling marriage only to discover that she and her lover have no choice but to duplicate the union she has just fled. It shows the ways in which Wharton challenged but never escaped the restrictions of the marriage plot. The following year she wrote Friends (1900), a story that overtly articulates the subplot that I trace in her fiction. As its name suggests, it is about the meaning and demands of friendship, and its key elements inform nearly all her novels. Women, who seem to be opposites but who are in reality more similar than dissimilar, become the means for the other\u27s growth. By learning to see from the other\u27s perspective, they realize that self-sacrifice gives life meaning and purpose. Using feminist, biographical, and to some extent psychological methodologies. I analyze Wharton\u27s concerns with the allure and danger of romanticism, the development of consciousness, the importance of female artistry, and the continuation of personal and literary traditions in the context of her period and from the dual perspectives of competition and cooperation

    Forecasting Global Flows

    The theory suggests that investment activities and monetary policy influence the development of the global business cycle. The oil price and other raw material prices also play a key role in the economic development and there is a co-movement among oil consumption and global output. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explain the development of this set of variables by ARs, small-scale VARs and ECMs. The lag length and the rank of the time series models have been determined using information criteria. Then one-step ahead forecasts have been generated. It was found, that the ARs generate the best forecasts at the beginning of the forecasting horizon. However, when the forecasting horizon increases the VARs outperform the ARs. Comparing the forecasting performance of the ECMs, it was found that the forecasting ability of the ECMs in first differences outperform the level based ECMs when the forecasting horizon increases.International economics, time series models, forecasts, forecast evaluation
