Using a Sam-Based Model to Measure the Distributional Impacts of Government Policies
No full textA Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) will be proposed as a working instrument for studying the (macro-)impacts of government policy on the distribution of income. A numerical version of the SAM, constructed from the System of National Accounts (SNA), will serve as the basis for the construction of an algebraic version of the same matrix for Portugal. To this end, a computable (numerically solvable) general (economy-wide) equilibrium (macroeconomic balance) approach will be adopted. A SAM-based model will be constructed, in which each cell is defined with a linear equation or system of equations, whose components are all the known and quantified transactions of the SNA, using parameters deduced from the numerical SAM that served as the basis for this model. A scenario will be defined and analysed from an experiment carried out in relation to the distributional impact of a reduction in the direct tax rate paid by households.

Social Accounting Matrix and the System of National Accounts: An Application.
No full textThe purpose of this session is to show how the System of National Accounts (SNA) and the input output (supply and use) tables are used to construct a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). Based on the country's National Accounts, an aggregate SAM will be constructed for the Portuguese economy and their full consonance will be demonstrated by identifying both the items and balances of the various internal accounts of the System in the constructed SAM. The SAM will be shown as a working instrument for quantifying the flows in the economic circuit, and blocks of sub-matrices with common characteristics will be described in terms of the accounting transactions that are included in each of them. As an example, a more detailed SAM will be constructed and the contents of its cells described in strict detail. The relationship between the SAM and the input-output table will also be briefly analysed.
"Hypothetical Integration in a Social Accounting Matrix and Fixed-price Multiplier Analysis"
No full textThis study proposes a simple modification to a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) in order to analyze the multiplier effects of a new sector. A different input composition, or technology, of the sector makes a conventional analysis of final-demand injections on existing sectors invalid. Author Kijong Kim shows that the modification--so-called hypothetical integration--is an efficient way to incorporate the difference into the SAM, rather than costly full-scale rebalancing. He applies this method to the case of the Expanded Public Works Programme in South Africa, and demonstrates that the proposed approach effectively represents the labor intensity requirement of the program and a new-factor income distribution.

Graham Greene An Approach to the Novels
No full textThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists. The first phase progresses from acutely sensitive, self-divided young men somewhat like the young Greene to embittered, alienated characters ostensibly at great distance from their creator. The second phase (1939) includes a series of "portraits of the artist" through which Greene confronts more directly the tensions and conflicts of his private life.Book Cover -- Half-Title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Introduction -- Acknowledgements -- GRAHAM GREENE -- CHAPTER ONE Protagonists of the First Phase -- YOUTH -- DIVIDED SELVES -- WOMEN AND REDEMPTION -- MARRIAGE IN THE FIRST PHASE -- THE LITERARY FRAME -- THE FIRST-PHASE PROTAGONIST AND THE AUTHOR -- CHAPTER TWO Letters and Diaries -- LETTERS TO VIVIEN -- DIARIES -- CHAPTER THREE A Gun for Sale -- A GUN FOR SALE AND BROWNING'S "CHILDE ROLAND" -- A GUN FOR SALE AND TENNYSON'S MAUD -- CHAPTER FOUR Brighton Rock -- PINKIE AS NAPOLEONIC STRATEGIST -- CHARACTERS AND NAMES -- BRIGHTON ROCK AS A FAUSTIAN NOVEL -- CHAPTER FIVE Protagonists of the Second Phase -- AGE -- CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD -- SELF-DIVISION -- MARRIAGE IN THE SECOND PHASE -- CHAPTER SIX The Strategy of Allusion in the Second Phase -- TOWARD THE WRITER AS PROTAGONIST -- CHAPTER SEVEN Portraits of the Artist -- CHAPTER EIGHT Travels with My Aunt -- CHAPTER NINE The Honorary Consul -- CHAPTER TEN The Human Factor -- CHAPTER ELEVEN Dr. Fischer of Geneva -- CHAPTER TWELVE Monsignor Quixote -- POSTSCRIPT: "YOUR DREAM HAS BEEN YOUR LIFE. -- CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Captain and the Enemy -- FINIS -- Selected Bibliography -- (A) WORKS BY GRAHAM GREENE -- (B) CRITICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS -- Index -- Permissions Acknowledgements -- PENGUIN PUTNAM INC. -- SIMON & -- SCHUSTERThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists.
