    This paper investigates the impact of exchange rate regime choice on macroeconomic performance after Bretton Woods in emerging market countries. It is studied especially inflation, growth and financial crises. It’s found that for emerging market countries, fixed regimes are associated with lower inflation than floats. On growth effect of exchange rate regime choice is not same all period. Fixed regimes are associated with faster growth but after 1990 fixed regimes brought about slower growth. At the same time, fixed exchange rate regimes are associated with financial fragility after 1990 in emerging market

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Gelişmekte olan ve yükselen bir çok ülke ekonomik büyümelerini hızlandırmak için yurt dışı tasarruflara güvenmiştir. Buna paralel olarak dış borçta meydana gelen artışlar, gelişmekte olan ülkelerin ortak fenomeni olmuş ve özellikle, yurt içi tasarruf arzının düşüklüğü cari işlem açıklarını yükselte gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın konusu, Türkiye'nin cari işlem açığının sürdürebilirliğini 1964-2003 dönemi yıllık verileriyle sınamaktır. Bu işlem Husted'm dinamik modeli çerçevesindedir ve burada hesaplamaya alman anahtar değişkenler, karşılıksız yurtdışı transferler ve yurt dışı faiz ödemelerini içeren ithalat ve ihracat verileridir. İthalat ve ihracat arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişki test edilmesinde ADF birim kök ve Engle-Granger iki aşamalı eşbütünleşme testleri kullanılmıştır. Bu test sonuçları göstermektedir ki, ithalat ve ihracat arasında uzun dönemli ilişki yoktur hipotezi reddedilememektedir. Bu bulgunun anlamı şudur: Türkiye'nin cari işlem açıkları sürdürülemezdir.Many developing and emerging countries have relied on foreign savings to accelerate economic growth. The accumulation of external debt has been a common phenomenon in developing countries, especially at the stage of development where the supply of domestic savings has been low and current account deficits have been high. The objective of this study is to examine the issue of Turkey's current account deficit sustainability in the period of 1964-2003 using yearly data. The examination is based on Husted's dynamic model, which taking into account the.evolution of the key variables such as exports, bilateral transfer and interest payments plus to imports. We have tested for a long-run relationship between export and analogous import measures with using some econometric tests that include Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) Unitroot Test and standard two stage Engle-Granger (E-G) Cointegration tests. In the result of tests, we have shown that the hypothesis of no long-run relationship between exports and imports cannot be rejected. The meaning of this finding is that, Turkey current account deficits are not sustainable

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
