Five minutes with Thomas Mayer: “People will resist government from Brussels because it lacks democratic legitimacy”
No full textOriginally envisioned as part of Europe’s path towards greater political union, the euro as a project has stalled, with the eurozone now mired in high debt levels and austerity. In an interview with EUROPP editor Chris Gilson, and following an LSE lecture to promote his new book, Thomas Mayer explains that the euro is ‘Europe’s unfinished currency’ and how, in times of crisis, nations must be responsible for their own decisions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Thomas Mayer on Monetarism
No full textThomas Mayer über Monetarismus Der Beitrag besteht aus einer Reihe von Kommentaren und Anmerkungen zu dem Aufsatz von Mayer in dieser Zeitschrift*, und hat keinen hiervon un abhängigen und aus sich selbst heraus bestimmten Inhalt. Die Abschnitte I, II und VIII sind als Einführung bzw. als Ergebnis der Überlegungen zu betrachten. Sie stellen fest, daß Mayers Beitrag durchaus der Anstrengungen wert ist, die seine Niederschrift bereitete, daß er jedoch unvermeidlicherweise subjektiv gefärbt ist und so die Mühe zu eigener Analyse für alle jene nicht überflüssig macht, die den Monetarismus zu beschreiben versuchen. Abschnitt III regt an, daß die Antithese zu "Monetarismus" wohl besser "Fiskalismus" statt "Keynesianismus" lauten sollte, und Abschnitt IV vergleicht positive und normative Formen des Fiskalismus. Er gibt außerdem zu bedenken, daß es vielleicht eine Art von Kontinuum zwischen den extremen fiskalistischen und monetaristischen Ansichten gibt; jedenfalls eher als ihre Bündelung an den beiden Extrempunkten, wie sie Mayers Beitrag zu implizieren scheint. Abschnitt IV entwickelt eine Unterscheidung zwischen der "Stabilität" und der "Flüchtigkeit" (volatility) ökonomischer Funktionen, die der Verfasser gern in makroökonomischen Arbeiten, einschließlich der von Mayer, beachtet sähe. Abschnitt V stimmt - im wesentlichen auf Schumpeter fußend - Mayers Einfügung einiger ergänzender Anregungen zu den spezifischen Unterscheidungen der Monetaristen zu, die nicht streng aus seinem Hauptpostulaten folgen und von den Monetaristen nicht generell akzeptiert werden. Abschnitt VI fügt seinerseits (zumindest für die USA) eine weitere ergänzende Anregung zu denen von Mayer hinzu: Nämlich, daß die monetären Autoritäten die Macht und die Verantwortung für die Geldmengensteuerung besitzen. Abschnitt VII stellt einige kleinere Ausnahmen zu einigen spezifischen Punkten der Analyse von Mayer dar, u.a. (1) die Behandlung des Pigou- und Keynes- Effekts, (2) einen Kompromiß zwischen einer Geld-Mengensteuerung vom Friedman-ITyp und einer vollständig diskretionären Steuerung und (3) die Rolle von Phillipskurven.Professor Mayer on Monetarism This paper is basıcally a set of commentaries and notes on Professor Mayer's*, and cannot claim significant independent content of its own. The digest which follows is accordingly diffuse and disorganized. Section 1, 2, and 8 are of introductory and summary character. They argue that Mayer's essay is well worth the effort required for its preparation, but that it is inevitably subjective and cannot preclude similar exercises by other scholars seeking to define monetarism. Section 3 suggests that the antithesis of "monetarism" should perhaps be "fiscalism" rather than "Keynesianism", and (in Note 4) compares positive and normative forms of fiscalism. It also suggests that there may be a continuum between extreme fiscalist and extreme monetarist views, rather than the bunching at the two extremes which Mayer's paper seems to imply. Section 4 develops a distinction between the stability and the volatiliy of economic functions, which the writer would like to see reflected in much macroeconomic writing, including Mayer's. Section 5 approves, on essentially Schumpeterian grounds, Mayer's inclusion among the differentia specifica of monetarism of several subordinate propositions which do not follow rigorously from his major postulates and which are not universally accepted by monetarists. Section 6 goes on to add (at least for the U. S.) another subordinate proposition to Mayer's group, namely, that the monetary authority has the power and responsibility for monetary regulation. Section 7 takes several minor exceptions to specific points in Mayer's analysis, including (1) treatment of Pigou and Keynes effects, (2) compromises between a Friedman-type monetary rule and complete discretion, and (3) the role of Phillips curves
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
“Und plötzlich ginge die Türe auf”: der Einbruch des Teuflischen und die Raumstrukturen in Jeremias Gotthelfs «Schwarzer Spinne»
No full textIl racconto Il ragno nero (1842) di Jeremias Gotthelf consente di analizzare la funzionalizzazione dello spazio in relazione ai nuclei tematici e ai personaggi principali del testo. Lo spazio è infatti fondamentale nella definizione del ‘male’, nella rappresentazione del declino etico della vallata svizzera teatro della vicenda, nella creazione di una continuità fra le tre dimensioni temporali della narrazione e – attraverso l’immagine della vecchia trave che custodisce il ragno nero e che viene inglobata in nuove costruzioni – anche nella raffigurazione del tema cardine del racconto, ovvero la necessità di preservare i valori positivi del passato, combinando tradizione e innovazione
