Do Birds of a Feather Flock Together? Speculator Herding in the World Oil Market
No full textThis paper looks at speculative behavior in the international oil market. Much of the blame for oil-market turbulence has been placed on speculators, particularly hedge funds. Speculative capital has been characterized as “hot money,” with capital flows driven by “herding,” “flocking,” and “contagion.” Policies to deal with volatility by weakening, or even disabling speculation, have been based largely on anecdote, convenience (speculators have long served as scapegoats for various problems), and ideology, rather than careful analysis. Part of the problem arises from the secrecy with which speculators operate. Because speculative trading cannot easily be observed, it is difficult to assess speculators’ contribution, if any, to volatility. The paper utilizes a large, detailed database on individual trader positions in crude-oil and heating-oil futures markets. The paper is exploratory, with focus on measuring and assessing the tendency of speculators to herd (trade in the same direction as a group) and flock (trade in the same direction by subgroups of speculators).oil, speculation, volatility, herding, derivatives, futures
Reading and Remembering the Anthropologist James F. Weiner
No full textInternational audienceThis retrospective addresses the anthropological writings-both academic and applied-of James F. Weiner (1950-2020). Weiner would take the name Jaimie Pearl Bloom and begin living openly as a transgender woman in 2016. Jaimie was proudly transgender and worked in Melbourne (where she had moved in 2018) to support LGBTIQ rights and transgender issues. She co-founded the Bent Twig Alliance to address the needs of elderly members of the community. We are informed by several people who knew her in her last years that Jaimie accepted being referred to as 'James' or 'Jimmy' in commentary on her anthropological work. Largely because the contributors to this retrospective engage with James F. Weiner, the author of multiple anthropological texts dating from 1984 to 2017, many (but not all) have chosen to write about and refer to her as 'Jimmy'. No disrespect is shown or intended to Jaimie Pearl Bloom, whom most of us did not have the opportunity to meet. And so it is to 'Jimmy' that we now turn. James F. Weiner-author, teacher, researcher, and consultant-earned his master's degree in anthropology at Northwestern University, where he was influenced by Roy Wagner (see Leach's contribution). He went on, briefly, to the University of Chicago but finished his doctoral degree at the Australian National University (1984). His dissertation on the Foi of Papua New Guinea (see Young's contribution) would be published as The Heart of the Pearl Shell (1988), a year that also saw the publication of his edited collection Mountain Papuans. The Empty Place (1991), The Lost Drum (1995), and Tree Leaf Talk (2001) would soon follow. Weiner's contribution to Songs of the Empty Place (co-authored with Don Niles) was written by 1995 but would not be published until 2015. A raft of peer-reviewed articles on a wide range of topics, several of which were reprinted in important anthologies, cemented Weiner's reputation. During these early years he would teach at ANU, the University of Manchester (1990-1994), and the University of Adelaide (1994-1999). A mere thirteen years after receiving his doctorate, Weiner, an American, would be named Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. From the commencement of his career, Weiner's topics of choice, explored largely with reference to the Foi, were myth, poetry, music, space and topography, and philosophy and aesthetics, contributions to which several authors here, students and colleagues of his at the University of Manchester (Ingold, Strathern, Crook and Leach), discuss. Yet over the course of Weiner's career, this repertoire of interests and expertise would widen significantly. Although a Melanesianist by training, Weiner was also interested in Indigenous Australia. Alan Rumsey, Weiner's colleague at ANU, shared Weiner's fascination with both cultural contexts and collaborated with him first to organize an international conference at ANU in 1997, and then to co-author and co-edit two well-received conference volumes

NJBankers 2017-18 Economic Survey: Final Anaylsis and Report of Survey Results
No full textUnder the direction of James Hughes, the Bloustein School surveyed all 92 member institutions of the New Jersey Bankers Association and received a 73 percent response rate.
This year’s survey results indicate a soaring confidence in the US economy. Nearly 85 percent of respondents indicated the national economy’s health as “good,” and a record 10 percent rated it as “excellent.” For the first time in the survey’s history, no one rated it as “poor.” While somewhat more muted than sentiments toward the national economy, confidence in the NJ economy is nonetheless surging. 42 percent of respondents rated New Jersey’s economic health as “good” in 2018, compared to 15 percent in 2016. Still, 2018 marks the eighth consecutive year in which no respondent has rated New Jersey’s economy as “excellent.”Survey conducted for New Jersey Bankers Association by Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Field period: February 26-April 20, 2018. Published May, 2018
Annette B. Cohen/Weiner: notas sobre una trayectoria antropológica singular
No full textThis paper is a journey through the career path of the American anthropologist Annette Barbara Cohen (1933-1997), mostly known by her married name Annette Weiner. Throughout the text, we will weave and unweave various moments of her personal and professional itinerary to pose on some aspects that we find significant in the production of other ways of looking at the world and doing anthropology. Weiner's itinerary constitutes what might be called a "singular" trajectory, characterized by diverse textures and moments, and by a permanent will to change whether vocational, or empirical and theoretical. The relevance of the thematic areas covered by this author – which take up and expand on topics of classical Anthropology – and the vastness of her work did not translate, however, into a greater circulation of her books and articles in Spanish. For this reason, in the following sections we reconstruct Weiner´s trajectory, based on primary and secondary sources such as interviews, academic works and obituaries. This paper ultimately aims to translate and to make available to a Spanish speaking audience information on the life and work of an anthropologist who found her analytical strength in the attention to detail.Este escrito es un recorrido sobre la trayectoria de la antropóloga estadounidense Annette Barbara Cohen (1933-1997), mayormente conocida por su nombre de casada, Annette Weiner. A lo largo del texto, iremos tejiendo y destejiendo diversos momentos de su recorrido personal y profesional para posarnos sobre algunos aspectos que encontramos significativos en la producción de otros modos de mirar el mundo y hacer Antropología. El itinerario de Weiner constituye lo que podríamos llamar una trayectoria singular, caracterizada por diversas texturas y momentos, y por una permanente entrega al cambio, ya sea vocacional o en cuanto a miradas empíricas y teóricas. La relevancia de las áreas temáticas abarcadas por esta autora –que retoman y expanden tópicos de la antropología clásica– y la vastedad de su obra no se han traducido, sin embargo, en una mayor circulación de sus trabajos en habla hispana. Por eso, aquí, a partir de fuentes primarias y secundarias, como entrevistas, participaciones académicas y obituarios, reconstruimos la trayectoria de Weiner. Nuestro objetivo es traducir al español y poner a disposición de los lectores hispanohablantes información sobre la vida y obra de una antropóloga que encontró su potencia analítica en la atención al detalle
