    The macroeconomics of ‘financialisation’

    Full text link
    Financial market developments have become increasingly important to the overall economic development in virtually all countries in the world over the past three decades or so. The arti-cles collected in this Thesis constitute an attempt to explore this ‘financialisation hypothesis’ from a macroeconomic perspective. The theoretical parts of the Thesis (in particular chapters III-V) are inspired by (Post) Keynesian macroeconomics and modern information economics. It also complements the interdisciplinary political economy literature on financialisation, in which the macroeconomic perspective has so far been clearly underdeveloped in (chapter II). Finally, the Thesis also comprises empirical (econometric) analyses (mainly in chapters II and VI, and in an Appendix), with a particular focus on the US economy, where the process of financialisation is very advanced

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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

    Ein offenes Lehr- und Lernmittel für das Inhaltsfeld Wirtschaftspolitik

    Full text link
    Ziel des Projektes war, ein offenes Online-Lehr- und Lernmittel für die Bearbeitung des Inhaltsfeldes Wirtschaftspolitik (Sek. II) zu schaffen. Es ist eine Antwort auf eine doppelte Herausforderung: auf die teilweise vorhandenen Defizite von Unterrichtsmaterialien aus dem Internet und auf das geringe Angebot an freien Materialien für die ökonomisch-politische Bildung. Es wird die Vielfalt der ökonomischen Perspektiven betont und die Debatte um den Pluralismus in der Volkswirtschaftslehre fruchtbar gemacht. Die Inhalte stehen unter CC-Lizenzen und erlauben damit die leichte Nutzung, Bearbeitung und Weitergabe. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil sind interaktive Anwendungen, die mit H5P und Geogebra veröffentlicht werden
