Empowering The Marginal Student: An Innovative Skills-Based Extra Credit Assignment, Ellen N. Junn
Empowering The Marginal Student: An Innovative Skills-Based Extra Credit Assignment, Ellen N. Junn
Ellen N. Junn
A simple extra-credit assignment explicitly rewarded marginal or failing students for improving their learning and study strategies. The instructor approached individual students who were at risk for failing the course following the midterm exam and gave them the option of earning extra-credit points for regularly documenting a variety of effective learning and study skills. In contrast to control groups of matched marginal students and of nonfailing students, those attempting the extra-credit assignment improved their test performance from midterm to final exam. They were more likely to earn at least a grade of C and less likely to drop out of …
A Special Case Of Second Language Acquisition: Nthla, Naomi Gurevich
A Special Case Of Second Language Acquisition: Nthla, Naomi Gurevich
Naomi Gurevich
In investigating the process of language acquisition, researchers differentiate between the acquisition of a learner’s native language (L1) and non-native language. Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has traditionally come to mean any language learned by an individual after the L1. Some researchers have started distinguishing between monolinguals acquiring a second language (2ndLA) and bi- or multi-linguals acquiring another language (NthLA). It is claimed that having undergone the language acquisition process once, multilingual individuals approach this task with a more universal understanding of the rules and forms of language. A review of four studies shows aspects of how NthLA is different from …

De La Violencia Urbana A La Convivencia Ciudadana, Fernando Carrión Mena
De La Violencia Urbana A La Convivencia Ciudadana, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
No SE PUEDE DESCONOCER QUE EL problema de la violencia delincuencial, como fenómeno social que tiene expresión en las ciudades, existe desde tiempos inmemoriales y que, por tanto, no es nuevo, al grado que se podría decir que es consustancial a la ciudad. Tal afirmación nos debe llevar a replantear la tradicional aproximación que se ha hecho al tema ya lo urbano, desde aquellas metodologías que los interpretan como resultado de un conjunto de patologías.
Por ello quizá sería mejor reconocer a la ciudad como un escenario de relaciones sociales. Así, la violencia urbana aparecería menos como «un problema y …

La Violencia Urbana, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Violencia Urbana, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El predominio de la población urbana (58%), el incremento del número de ciudades (196 municipios) y la generalización de la urbanización en el territorio nacional, llevan a concluir que el Ecuador se ha convertido en un país de ciudades. Esta realidad trae nuevos problemas, entre los cuales se debe mencionar el incremento significativo de la violencia delictiva urbana.
La crisis económica y las políticas implantadas, generalizan la inseguridad social y económica, y contribuyen a reducir los mecanismos de representación, a limitar los espacios de solución de los conflictos, a mercantilizar las relaciones sociales y a restringir las manifestaciones culturales, propias …

Experiencias De Descentralización Y Regionalización En América Latina: Análisi Compartido, Fernando Carrión Mena

El 10 de Agosto de 1992 ocurre un hecho inédito en la historia nacional: Sixto Durán Ballén, ex alcalde de Quito, asume la presidencia de la República; León Febres Cordero, ex Presidente Constitucional se convierte en alcalde de Guayaquil y Jamil Mahuad, ex-candidato presidencial, llega a la alcaldía de Quito. Pero llama aún más la atención, si se observa que en estas tres elecciones hubo una polarización evidente y que cada una de las autoridades proviene de tres partidos políticos distintos.
Pero también América Latina presenta el hecho político novedoso e interesante que algunos candidatos presidenciales surgen de administraciones municipales …

Las ciudades intermedias en el contexto de la urbanización ecuatoriana: un intento de Interpretación
En América Latina las tendencias generales que acompañan al proceso de urbanización -en tanto expresión fenoménica final- han sido extensamente debatidas y, hasta cierto punto, consideras como un "lugar común": creciente concentración urbana en uno o dos centros mayores, detrimento de la significación de las ciudades intermedias y pequeñas, y profundización de los desequilibrios interregionales. A pesar de ello, el énfasis general, tanto de la investigación como de las acciones de política -en coincidencia con el movimiento aparente?- se ha dirigido hacia las principales ciudades, adoptando, …
'Once-Off' And Continuing Gains From Trade, M. Scott Taylor
'Once-Off' And Continuing Gains From Trade, M. Scott Taylor
M. Scott Taylor
Most Economists are familiar with the static or once-off welfare gains created by opening an economy to trade. Much less is known about how the resource reallocations necessitated by this move affect long-run growth, and hence whether they provide dynamic or continuing welfare gains in future periods. This paper employs a dynamic Ricardian trade model to provide a decomposition of the gains from trade into "once-off" and continuing categories. In one version of the model, trade is always welfare enhancing; in the other, "once-off" losses may occur alongside dynamic gains. In both versions the magnitude of the once-off and continuing …
North-South Trade And The Environment, M. Scott Taylor, Brian A. Copeland
North-South Trade And The Environment, M. Scott Taylor, Brian A. Copeland
M. Scott Taylor
A simple static model of North-South trade is developed to examine linkages between national income, pollution, and international trade. Two countries produce a continuum of goods, each differing in pollution intensity. We show that the higher income country chooses stronger environmental protection, and specializes in relatively clean goods. By isolating the scale, composition, and technique effects of international trade on pollution, we show that free trade increases world pollution; an increase in the Rich North's production possibilities increases pollution, while similar growth in the poor South lowers pollution; and unilateral transfers from North to South reduce worldwide pollution.

La Gestión Urbana: Estrategías, Dilemas Y Retos, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Con este trabajo se trata de aportar al conocimiento de la ciudad desde un claro énfasis en la gestión y planificación urbanas. La reflexión proviene desde la interna de un proceso particular de gestión-planificación municipal, como copartícipe del mismo. Esto, si bien tiene su propia riqueza, no es menos cierto que carece de la distancia tan necesaria para la objetividad. También es una reflexión en estado preliminar que no compromete a la Institución; es un trabajo personal en proceso de elaboración, sobre la base de una experiencia colectiva; no es propiamente la experiencia, sino reflexiones a partir de la misma. …

Trips, Trade, And Growth, M. Scott Taylor
Trips, Trade, And Growth, M. Scott Taylor
M. Scott Taylor
A two country model of endogenous growth is employed to assess the importance of intellectual property rights to trade, growth and technology transfer. The paper provides theoretical results linking the intellectual property rights regime to trade patterns, aggregate R&D, worldwide growth, and aggregate welfare measures. Failure to provide patent protection for foreign made innovations forces innovators to employ less than the best practice research technologies, reduces aggregate R&D activities worldwide, effectively eliminates technology transfer across countries, and reduces worldwide growth.
Judicial Legitimacy: An Interpretation As A Repeated Game, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Judicial Legitimacy: An Interpretation As A Repeated Game, Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
If society wishes to maintain an independent judiciary, it faces the problem of how to restrain judges from indulging their personal whims. One restraint is the desire of judges to influence future judges. To do so, they may have to maintain their own or the system's legitimacy by restraining their own behavior. This situation is usefully viewed as an equilibrium of an infinitely repeated game.
Cheap Bribes And The Corruption Ban: A Coordination Game Among Rational Legislators, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer
Cheap Bribes And The Corruption Ban: A Coordination Game Among Rational Legislators, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
Legislators in modern democracies (a) accept bribes that are small compared to value of the statutes they pass and (b) allow bans against bribery to be enforced. In our model of bribery, rational legislators accept bribes smaller not only than the benefit the briber receives but than the costs the legislators incur in accepting the bribes. Rather than risk this outcome, the legislators may be willing to suppress bribery altogether. The size of legislatures, the quality of voter information, the nature of party organization, and the structure of committees will all influence the frequency and size of bribes.

Violencia Urbana E Inseguridad Ciudadana. Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
Violencia Urbana E Inseguridad Ciudadana. Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Las encuestas que se vienen haciendo en algunas ciudades, establecen que una de las demandas fundamentales de la población, es la seguridad. En Quito, que supuestamente es una ciudad pacífica (se define como «ciudad franciscana»), justamente una encuesta que se terminó este mes, determinó que la principal reivindicación de la población con un porcentaje alrededor de un 20.2%, es la seguridad ciudadana. En segundo lugar estaba el costo de vida y en el tercero el agua potable. Según las encuestas que hemos visto en América Latina, la demanda por seguridad es la más significativa y creciente.
Un segundo aspecto que …
