Vision And Influence In Econometrics: John Denis Sargan, Peter C.B. Phillips
Vision And Influence In Econometrics: John Denis Sargan, Peter C.B. Phillips
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Denis Sargan’s intellectual influence in econometrics is discussed and some of his visions for the future of econometrics are considered in this memorial article. One of Sargan’s favorite topics in econometric theory was finite sample theory, including both exact theory and various types of asymptotic expansions. We provide some summary discussion of asymptotic expansions of the type that Sargan developed in this field and give explicit representations of Sargan’s formula for the Edgeworth expansion in the case of an econometric estimator that can be written as a smooth function of sample moments whose distributions themselves have Edgeworth expansions.
Mysticism And Its Cultural Expression: An Inquiry Into The Description Of Mystical Experience And Its Ontological And Epistemological Nature, Evgeny Torchinov
Mysticism And Its Cultural Expression: An Inquiry Into The Description Of Mystical Experience And Its Ontological And Epistemological Nature, Evgeny Torchinov
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The purpose of this paper is to critically explore the nature and ontological and epistemological
significance of differences observed in how various cultural traditions describe and explain such
experiences. After an initial consideration of definitional issues, the article focuses on the arguments
supporting and challenging the idea of mystical experience being a universal phenomenon
and a vehicle for true knowledge. The article also examines the problem of the unity of the mystical
experience as a definite state of consciousness and the multiplicity of its sociocultural and
civilizational expressions and descriptions conditioned by different cultural and historical factors.
Gnostic Dilemmas In Western Psychologies Of Spirituality1, Harry T. Hunt
Gnostic Dilemmas In Western Psychologies Of Spirituality1, Harry T. Hunt
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Early Gnosticism is identified as a form of Weber’s inner-worldly mysticism that, following the
critique of Plotinus, entailed spiritual metapathologies of inflated grandiosity, despair, and/or
social withdrawal. These vulnerabilities re-emerge in the naturalistic psychologies of spirituality
begun by Emerson, Nietzsche, Jung, and Maslow and more implicitly within contemporary personality
and neuropsychological research on numinous/transpersonal experience. An updated
version of Gnostic dilemma and its conflicted dualism may be endemic to any would-be science
of the spiritual and to much current transpersonal psychology as well.
Process, Structure, And Form: An Evolutionary Transpersonal Psychology Of Consciousness, Allan Combs, Stanley Krippner
Process, Structure, And Form: An Evolutionary Transpersonal Psychology Of Consciousness, Allan Combs, Stanley Krippner
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
In the spirit of William James, we present a process view of human consciousness. Our approach,
however, follows upon Charles Tart’s original systems theory analysis of states of consciousness,
although it differs in its reliance on the modern sciences of complexity, especially dynamical systems
theory and its emphasis on process and evolution. We argue that consciousness experience
is constructive in the sense that it is the result of ongoing self-organizing and self-creating
(autopoietic) processes in the mind and body. These processes follow a broad developmental
agenda already described by psychologists such as Jean Piaget. Similar constructive transformations
of consciousness appear …

Primal Spirituality And The Onto/Phylo Fallacy: A Critique Of The Claim That Primal Peoples Were/Are Less Spiritually And Socially Developed Than Modern Humans, Steven Taylor
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Many theorists—including Freud, Habermas and Wilber—have suggested that there are strong
parallels between ontogeny and phylogeny, and that the development of the human species has
followed the same basic pattern as the development of the individual from birth to adulthood. I
discuss this view in relation to archaeological and anthropological knowledge of the world’s “primal
peoples.” I look at the spiritual, moral, and social development of primal peoples and find
that, in almost every instance, they are more advanced than these theorists suggest, possessing
characteristics which only occur—ontogenetically—at the higher “fulcrums” of development. I
argue that Wilber’s spectrum model cannot …
An Integral Perspective On Depression, Dinu S. Teodorescu
An Integral Perspective On Depression, Dinu S. Teodorescu
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The integral approach to therapy proposes to accommodate all the etiological factors of
unipolar depression in its theory, as well as to make use of all existing therapies, both pharmacological
and psychological, in the treatment of unipolar depression. Integral Therapy is
compared to cognitive therapy to find evidence for its superiority over the cognitive
approach. It appears that the cognitive therapy is more cost-effective than Integral Therapy
as an individual approach in the treatment of depression, but that the integral perspective
accounts better for etiological factors.

Transnational Activist Networks And The Emergence Of Labor Internationalism In The Nafta Countries, Joel Stillerman
Transnational Activist Networks And The Emergence Of Labor Internationalism In The Nafta Countries, Joel Stillerman
Peer Reviewed Articles
Recent accounts of transnational activism have examined a variety of social movement organizations (SMOs) but have paid little attention to labor transnationalism. This article utilizes and adapts this new transnational social movements scholarship to understand contemporary labor activism in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries. Exploring the preexisting networks and intramovement cleavages that helped spawn labor opposition to NAFTA, it focuses on labor activists' complaints under the treaty's labor side accord. I explore how rising political opportunities associated with the treaty and its new institutions created new political arenas, targets for activists, and incentives for cross-border collaboration. The …

Documentation Of Violence Risk Information In Psychiatric Hospital Patient Charts: An Empirical Examination, Eric B. Elbogen, Alan J. Tomkins, Antara P. Pothuloori, Mario Scalora
University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications
Studies have identified risk factors that show a strong association with violent behavior in psychiatric populations. Yet, little research has been conducted on the documentation of violence risk information in actual clinical practice, despite the relevance of such documentation to risk assessment liability and to conducting effective risk management. In this study, the documentation of cues of risk for violence were examined in psychiatric settings. Patient charts (n = 283) in four psychiatric settings were reviewed for documentation of violence risk information
summarized in the MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment Study. The results revealed that particular patient and institutional variables influenced …
