Beulah Pyatt Interview 2015
No full textIn this 2015 interview, Dr. Eric Crawford, Coastal Carolina University faculty researcher, and a student (Quentin Ameris) interview the owner and proprietor of the Pyatt General Store on Sandy Island, Mrs. Beulah Pyatt. They discuss that, even though she was not born and raised on the island, it quickly became her home. She talks about how she first moved onto the island, her interactions with the locals and how they invited her into the fold. She also confesses that, in the early years, she felt almost like she was trapped. She didn\u27t have a boat of her own and, because everyone else worked during the day, she was essentially left alone with her newborn child for long swathes of time. She connected with the local community quickly, though, and through this she became tied into New Bethel Baptist Church, a local landmark. She discusses the importance of song in worship and as an expression of spirituality, including the usage of Shouting and Stomping . Ultimately, this is tied into her family and their involvement on the island. Finally, they move to the creation of the Pyatt General Store and its role in her family. She established the business in the late eighties, working when she wanted and becoming her own boss. It serves not only her local community, but as a gift shop for visitors to the island. This interview was conducted at the Pyatt General Store on Sandy Island, South Carolina. This oral history was developed as part of a student-driven project on Sandy Island by The Athenaeum Press at Coastal Carolina University in 2015, resulting in the publication At Low Tide: Voices of Sandy Island (2017). Its digitization is made possible by the National Historic Publications & Records Commission at the National Archives.https://digitalcommons.coastal.edu/at-low-tide-oral-histories/1001/thumbnail.jp
Emily Collins Pyatt

Pyatt was a teacher at the Sandy Island School, as well as a resident on Sandy Island. Pyatt discusses growing up as a child on the island on her family\u27s farm. She discusses Reverend George Washington and his wife Stella who was a school teacher on the island. She discusses how people would make mattresses on the island and how before they would use fresh straw to sleep on. She discusses the teachers at the school that Mr. Huntington built on the island including Mr. Bolt and Professor Bland. She discusses how some of the men from the island would go to Conway to work in the mills. She also discusses her time at Whittemore High School and how she became involved in teaching while still in school. She discusses how she ended up attending Bentley College. She discusses how she stopped teaching in 1943 and how she was friends with Miss Ruby who was a teacher in Conway.

Multiplier Decomposition, Poverty and Inequality in Income Distribution in a SAM Framework: the Vietnamese Case
No full textThe aim of this paper is to show how and why is possible to assess both direct and indirect effects of exogenous income injections on mean income of different household groups using a new approach based on the decomposition of SAM-based multipliers. The approach we propose in this paper allows analyzing the level of inequality in the distribution of income linking the formation of individual/family income to the features of each country’s productive structure and it can be used both for structural analysis and for simulations of redistributive and antipoverty policies. The first step in order to link changes in the level of poverty and inequality to policy measures will be to derive the “accounting price multipliers matrix”, which allows considering the effects of policies affecting the labour market, thus changing the level of wages for different workers ‘categories. Using the traditional Pyatt and Round’s multiplicative decomposition method, we will be then able to disentangle the transfer, the open-loop and the closed-loop effects of a change in the income of exogenous SAM’s accounts. The second step will be to use a new technique introduced by Pyatt and Round (2006) to further decompose each element of the total multiplier matrix in order to enlighten in “microscopic detail” the linkages between each household group’s income of and other accounts whose income has been exogenously injected (i.e. Activities account and Factors account). Moreover, this new approach allows assessing the linkages between each household endowment in terms of factors and the features of the productive system and shading light on the most powerful links among different components of the economic system affecting the distribution of income. The empirical results obtained using the Vietnamese SAM for year 2000 show that the highest direct effects are related to exogenous injections to the agricultural sector and to less skilled labour force and that these effects involved not only on rural male headed but also other household groups. At the same time, the new type of multiplier decomposition shows which are the sectors and factors of production whose increase in income will have the greater indirect effects, increasing also the level of income of all household types. For example, investing in the sector of food processing and on female labour force will benefit the most all household groups, thus representing a policy option good for aggregate growth and for improving the distribution of income.Income distribution, social accounting matrix, multiplier decomposition, growth, labour market, structure of production
