Rent - seeking trade policy : a time series approach
Get PDFUsing a time-series approach, the author analyzes the relationship between the extent of rent-seeking trade policy and both political and economic variables. For rent-seeking trade policy, the indicator he uses is the number of foreign-trade regulations passed each year for the benefit of a single firm or industry. The author uses data from Uruguay for 1925-83. Uruguay, which experienced an impressive economic decline, is an outstanding example of a rent-seeking society. After being a wealthy economy in midcentury, it suffered almost complete stagnation, which led to social and policital disintegration by the end of the 1960s. Three decades of restrictive regulations on foreign trade had created a nearly closed economy by the end of the 1960s. It was worth analyzing whether policymakers'great receptiveness to demands for protection could account for Uruguay's decline. Over the period 1925-83, the author finds almost 4,000 laws, decrees, and administrative resolutions that create, maintain, or modify a foreign-trade regulation for the benefit of a single firm or industry. About half of them explicitly identify the petitioner - usually a firm or guild. Since the size of the Uruguayan economy changed over the period studied, the author scales the annual number of regulations by output or exports to measure the extent of rent-seeking trade policy. The author shows that the extent of rent-seeking trade policy increased with discretionary policies and under dictatorship. (In the period studied, there were two stages of democracy - until 1932 and from 1943-72 - and two stages of dictatorship.) He also shows that rent-seeking trade restrictions increased under import-substitution strategies and, more unexpectedly, under active export promotion. This suggests that discretionary power leads to wasteful distribution, whether it is used to support inward- or outward-oriented policies. Finally, the author analyzes the correlation between innovations in the trade policy indicator and innovations in the growth rates of output and exports, with a lag of up to 20 years. Surprisingly, he finds a positive correlation with output growth rates after two or three years. But the correlation becomes negative some years later, particularly in the case of exports. The short-run positive impact on growth rates, together with the surprisingly long time lag before the negative impact, may account for policymakers'receptiveness to demands for protection.Trade Policy,Achieving Shared Growth,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies

Rama Township
Get PDFTitle: Rama Township, Author: Georgia Henderson, Location: ThodeThis thesis is a regional study of the physical and human geography of Rama Township. An area of 35,954 acres, it is situated on the east shore of Lake Couchiching. Within the township's boundaries there are two lakes - Lake St. John (pronounced Sin-jun) and Mud Lake . There are also several rivers, the most important being the Black River and its tributary, the Head River. The Severn River marks the north-western limit of the township. Two railways,
both Canadian National, traverse the area, converging at Washago. Highway 11 and 12 lead to Rama from large population centres. There are 81 miles of road within the township. Highway #69 is provincial and follows the Couchiching shore. Although gravel, it is kept in fair condition. There is one county road reaching from O'Connell to Fawkham which is also well kept. The remaining are township roads and are not usually in very good condition. Rama Township has a population of 653. Of these, 379 are concentrated along the lakeshore. There is an additional 375 Indian residents. 1. A large summer population, much of which is transient, swells this total during the warmer months . The progress of Rama has been limited to some extent by the environment. In some cases, the people have overcome difficulties and made very satisfactory adjustments to adverse conditions. Yet if the people
of Rama Township could understand their environment more fully, they would be able to gain a more balanced economy, a more efficient land utilization, and some types of specialization which would provide a surplus for sale outside of the township . If this could be done, the threatening bonds of self-sufficiency would be broken.ThesisBachelor of Arts (BA

Globalization and workers in developing countries
Get PDFStories on the positive and negative effects of globalization on workers in developing countries abound. But a comprehensive picture is missing and many of the stories are ideologically charged. This paper reviews the academic literature on the subject, including several studies currently under way, and derives the implications for public policy. First, it deals with the effects of openness to trade, foreign direct investment, and financial crises on average wages. Second, it discusses the impact of exposure to world markets on the dispersion of wages by occupation, skill, and gender. Third, it describes the pattern of job destruction and job creation associated with globalization. Because these two processes are not synchronized, the fourth issue addressed is the impact on unemployment rates. Fifth, the paper reviews the labor market policies that can be used to offset the adverse effects of globalization on employment and labor earnings. Finally, it discusses how the international community could encourage developing countries to adopt sound labor market policies in the contextof globalization.Labor Policies,Public Health Promotion,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Banks&Banking Reform,Health Monitoring&Evaluation
PASCHAL TRIDUUM IN RAMA PASSIONIC HERITAGE
Get PDFU radu se navode ramski suvremeni izvorni terenski zapisi molitava, običaja
i obreda koji karakteriziraju Veliki četvrtak, Veliki petak i Veliku
subotu. Autor zapise interpretira u katoličkome, etnološkome, antropološkome
i biblijskome kontekstu. Znatan broj usmenih molitava koje se
navode imaju antologijsku vrijednost, a mnoge od njih prekrio je zaborav.
Velik dio običaja sačuvao se do naših dana, a karakteriziraju ih: molitve,
strogi post, pomoć siromašnima i bolesnima. Ramska duhovna baština
zorno svjedoči o dubokoj ukorijenjenosti tamošnjih Hrvata u zapadnoeuropsku
civilizaciju. Ta se duhovnost tisućljećima prenosi hrvatskim
jezikom i prava je riznica filološkoga, etnološkoga, antropološkoga, teološkoga
i drugoga blaga.This paper presents Rama authentic field recordings of prayers, customs
and rituals that characterize Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter
Saturday. The author interprets the recordings in a general-Catholic,
ethnological, anthropological and biblical context. A significant number
of mentioned oral prayers have certain anthological value, and many of
them are covered with oblivion. Much of the tradition has been preserved
to our days, and is characterized by: prayers, strict fasting, help the poor
and sick. Rama spiritual heritage evidently testifies that the Croats from
Rama are deep rooted in western European civilization. This spirituality
is passed through the millennia by the Croatian language and it is a
treasure trove of philological, ethnological, anthropological, theological,
and other treasures
Downsizing and productivity gains in the public and private sectors of Colombia
Get PDFPublic sector restructuring, including labor downsizing, has been one of the main areas of policy activism in developing countries, and transition economies. But little is known about its actual effects. The authors use panel data on Colombian enterprises spanning more than one decade, to assess the impact on several productivity indicators. The results suggest that the productivity gains from downsizing, are larger in state-owned enterprises than in private enterprises. While the increase in value added per worker is similar in both cases, state-owned enterprises experience an increase in total value added, and in value added per unit of capital, whereas both indicators decline in private enterprises. The difference, which could simply reflect the larger extent of initial inefficiency in state-owned enterprises, does not appear to depend on the degree of competition in product markets.Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Labor Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Private Participation in Infrastructure
Itsensä johtaminen ja voimavarojen hyödyntäminen opiskeluaikaisessa elämässä: Opas opiskelevalle yrittäjälle.
Get PDFTässä kehittämistehtävässä tarkoituksena oli lisätä ymmärrystä itsensä johtamisen haasteista opiskelevan yrittäjän itsensä kehittämiseksi. Työn tavoitteena oli selvittää opiskelijayrittäjän itsensä johtamisen haasteet ja voimavarat, joita voidaan hyödyntää kiireisen elämän tasapainottamiseksi. Opinnäytetyössä on kuvattu miten opiskelijayrittäjä voi kehittää itsen-sä johtamistaan, löytämällä ja käyttämällä voimavarakeinoja hyödyksi tosielämän tilanteissa. Kohdeyrityksenä on opinnäytetyön kirjoittajan oma yritys, jolle lopputuotos tehdään. Työn lopputuotoksena opinnäytetyön kirjoittaja laatii itsensä johtamisen oppaan opiskelevalle yrittäjälle, jonka tarkoituksena on auttaa muita samassa elämäntilanteessa olevia opiskelijayrittäjiä.
Opinnäytetyön tietoperusta koostui itsensä johtamisen teoreettisesta ja strategisesta näkökulmasta yleisesti. Itsensä johtamisen voimavarat osiossa käsiteltiin psykologista pääomaa, minäpystyvyyttä, henkilökohtaista hyvinvointia ja ajanhallintaa sekä ajanhallinnan tekniikoi-ta. Tämän opinnäytetyön lähestymistavaksi valittiin tutkimuksellinen kehittämistyö, joka tutkii kehitettävää kohdetta palvelumuotoilumalliprosessin avulla. Yhteiskehittämismenetelmän luomisprosessi toimi käytännön tasolla tutkimustyön eteenpäin viemisessä, jossa lopputuotoksena saatiin luotua uusi konsepti eli opas opiskelevalle yrittäjälle. Kehittämistyön aineistonkeruumenetelmiksi valittiin puolistrukturoitu haastattelu ja yksi osallistava ideointityöpaja. Tulosten analyysi tehtiin teoriaohjaavana sisällönanalyysina.
Kehittämistyön tulokset osoittivat, että itsensä johtaminen on haaste, jota tulisi kehittää jatkuvasti. Voimavarakeinojen tarve on välttämättömyys yksilötasolla. Haasteena koettiin aiheen laajuus, mutta työn aihealueeseen oltiin tyytyväisiä ja sitä pidettiin mielenkiintoisena sekä ajankohtaisena. Oppaan sisältö rakentui osallistujien toiveiden mukaisesti ja se sisältää: ajanhallinta tekniikan työkaluja, määritelmiä itsensä johtamisesta ja voimavarakeinoja hyvinvoinnista, aikatauluttamisesta ja psykologisen pääoman kyvyistä. Johtopäätökseni on, että opasta on nähty hyödylliseksi lähinnä sen käytännöllisyyden kannalta ja sille on kysyntää.The purpose of this development task was to increase the understanding of the challenges of self-management to develop the self-employed student.

The knowledge base of the thesis consists of the theoretical and strategical perspective of self-management in general. Psychological capital, self-capability, personal well-being, and time management techniques are dealt with and described in the self-management section. The approach of this thesis was chosen to be in the style of research development, which examines the object to be developed with the help of service design model process. The method of co-development creation worked on a practical level in taking the research work forward, where the end product was to become a new concept, a guide for the studying en-trepreneur. A semi-structured interview and one participatory brainstorming workshop were chosen as the data collection methods for the development work. The analysis of the results was performed as a theory-guiding content analysis.
The results show that self-management is challenging and requires continues development. The need for resources is a necessity at the individual level. The scope of the topic was considered challenging yet satisfactory, and it was considered interesting and topical. The con-tent of the guide was built according to the wishes of the participants, and it includes: Techniques and tools for time management, definitions of self-management and resource tools for well-being, scheduling, and the underlining abilities of one’s own psychological capital. The author concludes that the guide is useful mainly in terms of its practicality and that there is a real need for it
