Path Dependence And The Origins Of Cotton Textile Manufacturing In New England, Joshua L. Rosenbloom
Path Dependence And The Origins Of Cotton Textile Manufacturing In New England, Joshua L. Rosenbloom
Joshua L. Rosenbloom
During the first half of the nineteenth century the United States emerged as a major producer of cotton textiles. This paper argues that the expansion of domestic textile production is best understood as a path-dependent process that was initiated by the protection provided by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812. This initial period of protection ended abruptly in 1815 with the conclusion of the war and the resumption of British imports, but the political climate had been irreversibly changed by the temporary expansion of the industry. After 1815 nascent manufacturers sought to protect the investments they …

Estimation Of Hyperbolic Diffusion Using Mcmc Method, Yiu Kuen Tse, Jun Yu, X. B. Chang
Estimation Of Hyperbolic Diffusion Using Mcmc Method, Yiu Kuen Tse, Jun Yu, X. B. Chang
Research Collection School of Economics
In this paper we propose a Bayesian method for estimating hyperbolic diffusion models. The approach is based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method after discretization via the Milstein scheme. Our simulation study shows that the hyperbolic diffusion exhibits many of the stylized facts about asset returns documented in the financial econometrics literature, such as a slowly declining autocorrelation function of absolute returns. We demonstrate that the MCMC method provides a useful tool to analyze hyperbolic diffusions. In particular, quantities of posterior distributions obtained from MCMC outputs can be used for statistical inferences

A Multidisciplinary Analysis Of Frequency Domain Metal Detectors For Humanitarian Demining, Claudio Bruschini
A Multidisciplinary Analysis Of Frequency Domain Metal Detectors For Humanitarian Demining, Claudio Bruschini
Global CWD Repository
This thesis details an analysis of metal detectors (low frequency electromagnetic induction devices) with emphasis on Frequency Domain (FD) systems and the operational conditions of interest to humanitarian demining.
After an initial look at humanitarian demining and a review of their basic principles we turn our attention to electromagnetic induction modelling and to analytical solutions to some basic FD direct (forward) problems. The second half of the thesis focuses then on the analysis of an extensive amount of experimental data. The possibility of target classification is first discussed on a qualitative basis, then quantitatively. Finally, we discuss shape and size …

Health Insurance Coverage And The Disability Insurance Application Decision, Jonathan Gruber, Jeffrey D. Kubik
Health Insurance Coverage And The Disability Insurance Application Decision, Jonathan Gruber, Jeffrey D. Kubik
Economics - All Scholarship
We investigate the effect of health insurance coverage on the decision of individuals to apply for Disability Insurance (DI). Those who qualify for DI receive public insurance under Medicare, but only after a two-year waiting period. This raises concerns that many disabled are going uninsured while they wait for their Medicare coverage. Moreover, the combination of this waiting period and the uncertainty about application acceptance may deter those with health insurance on their jobs, but no alternative source of coverage, from leaving work to apply for DI.
Data from the Health and Retirement Survey show that, in fact, uninsurance does …
The Picture At Menorah Journal: Making "Jewish Art", Andrea Pappas
The Picture At Menorah Journal: Making "Jewish Art", Andrea Pappas
Art and Art History
Menorah Journal, founded in 1915 to foster a “Jewish Renaissance,” published essays, poetry, fiction, and political commentary. Along with articles addressing Jewish life and history, it attended to Jewish visual culture, publishing numerous works of art as well as articles by artists and cultural critics. Over the course of the magazine’s existence, only art magazines carried more reproductions of artworks in their pages. Yet when discussing Menorah Journal’s commitment to art, scholars have invariably dealt with it cursorily and as if it was no more than an attractive embellishment to the magazine. Nonetheless, the illustrations appeared, month after month, year …
State Eligibility Rules Under Separate State Schip Programs--Implications For Children's Access To Health Care, Sara Rosenbaum, Anne Rossier Markus
State Eligibility Rules Under Separate State Schip Programs--Implications For Children's Access To Health Care, Sara Rosenbaum, Anne Rossier Markus
Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs
This Policy Brief is the fourth in a series of reports1 issued by the George Washington University Center for Health Services Research and Policy that examine the design of separately-administered State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) that is, programs that operate directly under the authority of the federal SCHIP statute rather than expansions of state Medicaid programs.2 These Policy Briefs also consider the implications of states’ design choices for children’s access to health care.

Behavioral Health And Managed Care Contracting Under Schip, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Colleen Sonosky, Karen Shaw, D. Richard Mauery
Health Policy and Management Issue Briefs
This Policy Brief examines behavioral health managed care contracting under separately administered State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP), i.e., programs that operate under the direct authority of Title XXI of the Social Security Act rather than as expansions of Medicaid. Most separate SCHIP programs buy managed care style health insurance for some or most of their enrolled children. Because Title XXI provides states with far greater administrative flexibility than Medicaid with respect to coverage and benefit design, provision of services, and administration of managed care arrangements, studying separate SCHIP managed care products sheds important light on how states might approach …

Health Coverage In Massachusetts: Far To Go, Farther To Fall, Sara J. Rosenbaum, Jeanne Lambrew, Peter Shin, Marsha Regenstein, Tanya Ehrmann, Dylan Roby
Health Policy and Management Faculty Publications
This analysis has been prepared to highlight the state's experience in health reform and describe the challenges that it now faces. It recommends a renewed commitment to maintaining and strengthening the reforms that have made Massachusetts one of the nation's health policy leaders. This analysis does not focus on comprehensive health reform, although we believe that the cost and coverage problems that plague the Massachusetts health system (as well as that of every other state) would be most effectively addressed through broader restructuring aimed at achieving universal coverage and more decisive control over expenditures. In this report, we instead focus …

Savings And Credit For U.S. Microenterprises : Integrating Individual Development Accounts And Loans For Microenterprise, Caroline E. Glackin, Eliza G. Mahony
Savings And Credit For U.S. Microenterprises : Integrating Individual Development Accounts And Loans For Microenterprise, Caroline E. Glackin, Eliza G. Mahony
Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review
This paper provides a framework for the integration of two asset-building instruments, Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) and loans for microenterprise. Initially, it provides an overview of the emergence of the asset-based approach to poverty alleviation in the U.S. context and the evolution of IDAs and microenterprise development (MED). Then, it evaluates the potential role of IDAs in reducing risk using conventional lending criteria. The paper summarizes the findings of initial research on integrated programs and highlights four case studies. Finally, the paper provides some preliminary observations regarding potential benefits and challenges of the integrated approach and proposes an agenda for …

Pact's Women's Empowerment Program In Nepal : A Savings- And Literacy- Led Alternative To Financial Building, Jeffrey Ashe, Lisa Parrott Lparrot@Freefromhunger.Org
Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review
Pact's Women's Empowerment Program (WEP) in Nepal operated through 6,500 groups with 130,00 women members. These groups mobilized nearly $2,000,000 of assets in less than three years with 94% on loan to 45,000 group members. By mid 2001, WEP had as many outstanding loans as CARD in the Philippines and Compartamos in Mexico, two very well known "credit-led" microfi-nance institutions, while working through three times as many groups. In addition, 65,000 group members learned to read through Pact's innovative curriculum that focused exclusively on managing a group, starting a business, and women's empowerment. WEP was implemented by 240 partners (most …

When Stephen Cole first phoned the Northeast Archives in the winter of 1988, to urge us to support a modest documentary of the closing of Penobscot Poultry, Co., in Belfast, Maine, he had little idea I suspect, what he was getting us all into. Penobscot Poultry — Maine's last broiler processing firm located in Waldo County, the heart of chicken processing country — was about to close down, and Steve thought the Northeast Archives should do something about it.

Heterosexual Males: A Group Forgotten By The Profession Of Social Work, Jordan I. Kosberg
Heterosexual Males: A Group Forgotten By The Profession Of Social Work, Jordan I. Kosberg
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Social work literature has mainly focused upon females and gay males. A search was undertaken of general references to heterosexual males in published social-work authored articles and appearing in book reviews and publishers' ads in two prominent social work journals during the last decade. The conclusion reached was that heterosexual males are seldom discussed and when they are discussed they are portrayed in a very biased manner. It is believed that social workers do not receive necessary preparation for understanding and working with heterosexual males, especially from minority and immigrant groups, who are facing emotional, physical, interpersonal, and family problems. …

Differential Test Performance In The American Educational System: The Impact Of Race And Gender, Stephen J. Finch, Harvey A. Farberman, Jordan Neus, Richard E. Adams, Deirdre Price-Baker
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Contrary to Herrnstein and Murray (1994) who claim that racial groups have different cognitive endowments and that these best explain differential test score achievements, our regression analyses document that there is less improvement in test scores per year of education for African-Americans and women. That is, the observed group test score differences do not appear to be due to racial cognitive differences but rather to other factors associated with group-linked experiences in the educational system. We found that 666 of the subjects in the Herrnstein-Murray database had actual IQ scores derived from school records. Using these as independent controls for …

Reconciling Environmentalism And The Left: Perspectives On Democracy And Social Justice In British Columbia's Environmental Movement, Donald K. Alper, Debra J. Salazar
Reconciling Environmentalism And The Left: Perspectives On Democracy And Social Justice In British Columbia's Environmental Movement, Donald K. Alper, Debra J. Salazar
Political Science Faculty Publications
The article examines how political ideas of environmentalists support as well as impede relations between the environmental movement and other progressive movements. This requires examination of the role and meaning of social justice and democracy in the discourse of environmentalism. Ibis study focuses such an examination on a sample of environmental activists in British Columbia. Q methodology is used to discern patterns of association between particular sets of environmental ideas, and beliefs and values related to democracy and social justice. The authors identify four environmental/political perspectives: alienated ecocentrism, civic communitarianism, insider preservationism and green egalitarianism. These perspectives share a perception …

Competition Policy In East Asia : The Cases Of Japan, People's Republic Of China, And Hong Kong, Ping Lin
CAPS Working Paper Series
This paper describes and evaluates the competition policies in Japan, China, and Hong Kong. A simple framework based on the economic incentive of violations of law is used to evaluate the effectiveness of competition policy. After half a century of effort, Japan has finally established of a modern antitrust system, although its surcharge system could be further improved so as to enhance the deterrence effect of the law. China and Hong Kong (as most other East Asia countries) are at the early stage of developing an adequate and effective competition policy. Their short experiences, however, demonstrate the importance and complexity …

基督教中文聖經性別內包語言研究, Sin Nga So
基督教中文聖經性別內包語言研究, Sin Nga So
Theses & Dissertations
過去三十年,西方在女性主義思潮的帶動下,掀起了對語言性別主義的批判,同一時期,翻譯學朝文化研究的方向發展,使性別、語言與翻譯成為了互相影響、經常互相指涉的研究領域。本文採用描述性的研究進路,探討自由主義女性主義者所倡導的內包語言在基督教中文聖經譯本中的使用情況。
八十年代中,內包語言被引進到英文聖經翻譯,掀起了連串的討論。本文會在西方(尤其美國)學者的研究基礎上,從女性主義切入,釐清內包語言在聖經翻譯的語境中的本質,以及衍生出來的概念,然後將聖經主要的中文譯本 界分為傳統版本和內包版本。最後借用安德烈‧勒菲弗爾(André Lefevere)的理論,分析贊助者的意識形態如何支配中文聖經的內包版本。
"I Raised My Kids On The Bus": Transit Shift Workers' Coping Strategies For Parenting, Blanche Grosswald
"I Raised My Kids On The Bus": Transit Shift Workers' Coping Strategies For Parenting, Blanche Grosswald
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The study investigated coping strategies for parenting of transit shift workers, an urban, blue-collar, primarily ethnic minority population. It involved a qualitative, grounded theory approach, using individual interviews with 30 San Francisco bus drivers.
The principal aspect of the job impacting transit workers' relationships with their children was the lack of time they had together. Drivers had to be creative to find ways to care for their children. They could not rely exclusively on formal child care because hours at childcare centers did not match their job schedules. Coping strategies for care included taking children on the bus, working shifts …
