Overcoming Racism In Environmental Decision Making (Cover Story), Robert D. Bullard

Robert D Bullard

Opening Paragraph: Despite the recent attempts by federal agencies to reduce environmental and health threats in the United States, inequities persist.[1] If a community is poor or inhabited largely by people of color, there is a good chance that it receives less protection than a community that is affluent or white.[2] This situation is a result of the country's environmental policies, most of which "distribute the costs in a regressive pattern while providing disproportionate benefits for the educated and wealthy."[3] Even the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was not designed to address environmental policies and practices that result in unfair outcomes. …

Race, Poverty, And Enlistment: Some Evidence From The National Longitudinal Survey Of Youth, Michael C. Seeborg

Michael Seeborg

This paper explores the determinants of enlistment for a large sample of male youth drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Logit results indicate that the probability of enlistment is directly related to minority and poverty status while controlling for ability and a number of other socioeconomic background variables. In addition, an analysis of poverty transitions show that a very large percentage of enlistees in the early 1980s who were living in poverty at age 17 were successful in escaping poverty by 1990. An important conclusion is that the military can serve as a mechanism of upward economic mobility …

Economics And Rational Conservation Policy, Gilbert E. Metcalf

Gilbert E. Metcalf

Energy analysts have long been concerned with the apparently low level of energy-efficient investments and have suggested the presence of various market barriers and failures that hinder investment. The concept of a barrier as defined here is some force that is working against investment in energy-efficient technologies. Market failures, on the other hand, are failures of the competitive paradigm that lead to economically inefficient outcomes. Market barriers require no particular response on the part of government while market failures may call for some policy response.

Certainly in 1994 I did not think the history of Mesopotamia would be as important in 2010 as it appears.

Orangeism And Freemasonry, Paul J. Rich

Paul J. Rich

The Orange Order has figured prominently in Irish political history and particularly in the problems of Northern Ireland for two centuries. Although it has many Masonic affinities, it is an international movement (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, parts of Africa) with its own distinct culture, and its rituals at times have supported a virulent Protestantism.

El Futuro Sustentable De Los Andes, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La historia registra la existencia de ciudades y la concentración poblacional en los Andes desde las culturas precolombinas. Se desarrollaron centros de gobierno fundamentalmente al interior del continente (a excepción del norte peruano en donde se estableció Chan Chan capital Chimu), pues las escasas vinculaciones culturales y comerciales entre mesoamérica y sudamérica no justificaron el traslado o desarrollo de ciudades en la costa.

Algunas ciudades andinas como Cusca -capital incaica-, Quito, Tomebamba, Cajamarca y Pachacamac constituyeron centros regionales, que desempeñaron funciones de soporte para la organización política y el sistema productivo a una escala amplia, gracias a los caminos y …

Aggregate Convergence And Sectoral Specialization In Innovation, Mario Pianta, Daniele Archibugi

Mario Pianta

Over the last 20 years OECD countries have converged in terms of their innovation, in parallel to the process of economic convergence and catching-up in technology. However, this has not led to a similarity in the sectoral strenghts of the majority of countries. Applying a measure of "technological distance" between pairs of countries based on patents, it is shown that nations have increased their technological specialization (i.e their sectoral differences) over the 1980s. An apparent paradox is pointed out, as countries converge by becoming more different and grow by becoming more specialized.
