[Map of tour of Australia by Stanley Leighton, 1868] [cartographic material]
No full textMap of Australia with relief shown by hachures.; "This map shows the course of the tour, which is distinguished by a red line. Most of the places mentioned in the journal are marked, whether they are towns or only the houses colonists. The map is not quite large enough to take in King George's Sound in Western Australia where the steam boats from Point De Galle in Ceylon stop for coaling and where the Adelaide passenger change steam boats. Nor is it large enough to take in the whole of Tasmania."--Ms. annotation top left corner.; Title supplied by cataloguer.; In: Sketches in Australia with journal extracts / Stanley Leighton. v. 1, prelim. p.

The size variance relationship of business firm growth rates
No full textThe relationship between the size and the variance of firm growth rates is known to follow an approximate power-law behavior s(S) similar to S^-ß(S) where S is the firm size and ß(S) almost equal to 0.2 is an exponent weakly dependent on S. Here we show how a model of proportional growth which treats firms as classes composed of various number of units of variable size, can explain this size-variance dependence. In general, the model predicts that ß(S) must exhibit a crossover from ß(0) = 0 to ß(∞) = 1/2. For a realistic set of parameters, ß(S) is approximately constant and can vary in the range from 0.14 to 0.2 depending on the average number of units in the firm. We test the model with a unique industry specific database in which firm sales are given in terms of the sum of the sales of all their products. We find that the model is consistent with the empirically observed size-variance relationship

Stanley v. Illinois’s Untold Story
No full textStanley v. Illinois is one of the Supreme Courts more curious landmark cases. The holding is well known: the Due Process Clause both prohibits states from removing children from the care of unwed fathers simply because they are not married and requires states to provide all parents with a hearing on their fitness. By recognizing strong due process protections for parents rights, Stanley reaffirmed Lochner-era cases that had been in doubt and formed the foundation of modern constitutional family law. But Peter Stanley never raised due process arguments, so it has long been unclear how the Court reached this decision.
This Article tells Stanley\u27s untold story for the first time, using original research of state court and Supreme Court records. Those records show that the State was concerned about Stanleys parental fitness and did not remove his children simply because he was unmarried, as is frequently assumed. The State, however, refused to prove Stanley unfit and relied instead on his marital status to justify depriving him of custody. That choice, and Stanleys avoidance of a due process argument, created a complicated Supreme Court decision-making environment.
This Article explores the Supreme Courts decision-making in Stanley and reveals new insights both about Stanley and the Court more broadly. Four Justices changed their votes from conference to the final decisionan extreme amount of voting fluidity that shifted the case outcome. The Justices varying and evolving views eventually led them to a strong due process holding even though Stanley did not ask for one. This issue fluiditywhen the Court issues a ruling based on arguments not raised by the partiesreflects a complex interaction between Justices efforts to form a majority coalition and lawyers litigation choices. Finally, the Justices papers reveal how Justice Harry Blackmuns shift to the liberal wing of the Courtand to a staunch parents rights votebegan with his angst over Stanley, despite his vote for the State

THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS AND ITS IMPACTS ON GOLDMAN SACHS AND MORGAN STANLEY 2007-2009
No full textDiplomová práce nejprve popisuje a hodnotí důvody poklesu hypotečního a realitního trhu ve Spojených Státech amerických v letech 2007 až 2009 a blíže zkoumá vnitřní a vnější faktory kontrakce trhu. Cílem práce je analyzování příčin vedoucích k zhroucení hypotečního trhu v USA v letech 2007 až 2009 a zmapovat průběh hypoteční krize. Stěžejním cílem práce je analyzovat a zhodnotit kolaps hypotečního trhu skrze hypoteční portfolia dvou významných investičních bank Morgan Stanley a Goldman Sachs. V teoretické části práce analyzuji deregulaci finančního sektoru v 90. letech, politiku federální vlády v oblasti bydlení, dot-com bubble na začátku tisíciletí a reakci centrální banky Fed skrze politiku nízkých úrokových sazeb. V poslední části teoretické části práce se věnuji průběhu hypoteční krize v období 2007 až 2009. V rámci praktické části práce analyzuji a vyhodnocuji dopad na hypoteční portfolia dvou významných investičních společností Morgan Stanley a Goldman Sachs. Práce zkoumá přijatá manažerská opatření, které zavedlo vedení bank v reakci na tuto situaci. Na základě komparace dostupných dat z období v předkrizovém vývoji a v období poklesu hypotečního trhu dochází k potvrzená hypotézy, že v důsledku poklesu hypotéčního trhu došlo k výrazným ztrátám v portfoliích Morgan Stanley. a Golman Sachs. Druhá jmenovaná společnost, ale realizovala také vysoké zisky. Obě společnost přijala náležitá opatření, která by měla sloužit jako prevence proti budoucím krizím.The thesis first describes and evaluates the reasons for the decline in the mortgage and real estate market in the United States of America in the years 2007 to 2009 and examines in more detail the internal and external factors of market contraction. This work aims to analyze the causes leading to the collapse of the mortgage market in the US in the years 2007 to 2009 and to map the course of the mortgage crisis. The main goal of this work is to analyze and evaluate the collapse of the mortgage market through the mortgage portfolios of two major investment banks Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. In the theoretical part of the work, I analyze the deregulation of the financial sector in the 90s, the federal government's housing policy, the dot-com bubble at the beginning of the millennium, and the Fed's reaction through the policy of low-interest rates. In the last part of the theoretical part, I deal with the course of the mortgage crisis in the period 2007 to 2009. In the practical part, I analyze and evaluate the impact on the mortgage portfolios of two major investment companies Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. The thesis examines the management measures taken by the management of banks in response to this situation. Based on a comparison of available data from the period in the pre-crisis development and the period of the decline in the mortgage market, the hypothesis is confirmed that there were significant losses in Morgan Stanley's portfolios as a result of the decline in the mortgage market and Goldman Sachs. However, the latter company also made high profits. Both companies have taken appropriate measures to prevent future crises
