International Competitiveness, Tax Incentives, And A New Argument For Tax Sparing: Preventing Double Taxation By Crediting Implicit Taxes, Michael S. Knoll
International Competitiveness, Tax Incentives, And A New Argument For Tax Sparing: Preventing Double Taxation By Crediting Implicit Taxes, Michael S. Knoll
All Faculty Scholarship
Tax sparing occurs when a country with a worldwide tax system grants its citizens foreign tax credits for the taxes that they would have paid on income earned abroad, but that escapes taxation by virtue of foreign tax incentives. The supporters of tax sparing argue that it is a form of foreign aid, an obligation owed to developing countries, and a legitimate means of improving the competitiveness of resident investors. Tax sparing, however, has long been opposed by the United States on the grounds that it is an expensive and problematic concession to developing countries, inconsistent with basic and fundamental …

Membangun Bangsa Yang Sehat Produktif, Does Sampoerno
Kesmas
Peran kesehatan yang dipahami pihak eksekutif dan legislatif di Indonesia masih terbatas pada pengobatan dan penyembuhan penyakit, bukan membangun sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas. Sejak masa penjajahan, kebijakan kesehatan tersebut didominasi oleh kebijakan kuratif dengan fasilitas kesehatan utama Rumah Sakit, Puskesmas dan Balai Pengobat. Upaya kesehatan tersebut melemahkan argumentasi peran penting kesehatan dalam pembangunan bangsa. Konsep tersebut berpengaruh terhadap tujuan upaya kesehatan mencapai keadaan sehat produktif untuk semua yang dapat mengantarkan penduduk mencapai tingkat sehat produktif. Definisi sehat yang baru tersebut berpengaruh terhadap perubahan paradigma penanganan kesehatan dari “Health Program for Survival” ke “Health Program for Human Development”. Tujuan akhir …

Physician Assisted Suicide : A Survey Of North Caroline End Of Life Care Workers, Ollie Dooling Walker
Physician Assisted Suicide : A Survey Of North Caroline End Of Life Care Workers, Ollie Dooling Walker
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
The quantitative study reported here surveyed North Carolina clinicians who perform end of care about their attitudes toward physician assisted suicide (PAS). Twenty-four clinicians, representing varying disciplines from within the field of end of life care, shared their opinions via a 12-item survey. Clinicians were asked to think about PAS in terms of their stance as to when it may or may not be an appropriate practice, and how their own personal, religious, professional, and ethical beliefs influence their views on PAS. Participating clinicians were also surveyed about the recently enacted North Carolina Right to a Natural Death Act. Findings …

"If I Told You What Was Going To Happen, You Wouldn't Do It" : The Breast Cancer Survivor's Experience Of Chemotherapy, Amy Tindall Willson
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Chemotherapy is a concept that strikes a chord inside many people, conjuring images of nausea, hair loss, and pain. It is synonymous with cancer. The impact of undergoing treatment for a life-threatening diagnosis like cancer can have both seen and unseen impacts on the person, their families, and their loved ones. The effects can reverberate through a person's life, affecting not only their health status, but also their relationships, careers, sense of self, worldview, and spirituality. This study looks more closely at the experiences of women who have undergone chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer and considers the full …
Dissonance, Development And Doing The Right Thing : A Theoretical Exploration Of Altruistic Action As An Adaptive Intervention, Christopher L. Woodman
Dissonance, Development And Doing The Right Thing : A Theoretical Exploration Of Altruistic Action As An Adaptive Intervention, Christopher L. Woodman
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This theoretical exploration was undertaken to give consideration to the phenomenon of altruistic action as a potential focus for therapeutic intervention strategies. The very nature of altruism carries with it a fundamentally paradoxical and discrepant conundrum because of the opposing forces that it activates within us; inclinations to put the welfare of others ahead of self-interest are not experienced by the inner self as sound survival planning, though this has historically been a point of contention. Internal and external discrepancies cause psychological dissonance and inner conflict between self-protective strategies and core value constructs, the reconciliation of which is a driving …
Clinician Gender As A Factor Of Countertransference In The Treatment Of Clients Diagnosed With Borderline Personality Disorder, Alyssa Jayne Wyman
Clinician Gender As A Factor Of Countertransference In The Treatment Of Clients Diagnosed With Borderline Personality Disorder, Alyssa Jayne Wyman
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This qualitative study explores the interplay between clinician gender and experiences of countertransference (CT) in treatment of clients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The central hypothesis of this study is that constructions of gender will influence experiences of CT in the treatment of BPD clients, therefore having a meaningful effect on the therapeutic relationship and clinical treatment. Utilizing twelve qualitative individual interviews with clinicians who have treated clients diagnosed with BPD, this study examined clinicians' perceptions of treatment, including experiences and management of psychodynamic phenomena. The study also explored clinicians' use of different theoretical and treatment models, their views …
Determining Outcomes And Improving Effectiveness : An Outcome Study Of The East Bay Agency For Children's Therapeutic Nursery School, Elise Geltman
Determining Outcomes And Improving Effectiveness : An Outcome Study Of The East Bay Agency For Children's Therapeutic Nursery School, Elise Geltman
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the East Bay Agency for Children's Therapeutic Nursery School (TNS) in reducing problem behaviors for troubled preschoolers. Seven preschoolers between the ages of 2 ½ and 5 years old were assessed at the start of the study (or at admission date if after) and at 9 months (or at discharge if before 9 months) in a pre-post design. The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA; commonly known as the Child Behavior Checklist or CBCL) was used as the measure of problem behaviors. Three ASEBAs were collected for each participant at pre and post …
The Strength Of Muslim American Couples In The Face Of Heightened Discrimination From September 11th And The Iraq War, Brianne Goodman, Brianne Goodman Carter, Brianne Goodman Carter
The Strength Of Muslim American Couples In The Face Of Heightened Discrimination From September 11th And The Iraq War, Brianne Goodman, Brianne Goodman Carter, Brianne Goodman Carter
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This exploratory study examined how Muslim American couples are psychologically and relationally impacted by heightened discrimination in the wake of September 11th and The Iraq War. Utilizing interviews with six Muslim American couples who have been married for at least six years (through September 11th and The Iraq War), the study identified that religious discrimination against Muslim Americans is experienced as pervasive and endemic—existing at multiple levels: attitudinal, interpersonal, structural, institutional, and systemic. The study found that in response to (rather than in spite of) religious discrimination, Muslim American couples exhibit increased resiliency and strength through the tenets of their …
The Smith College School For Social Work Anti-Racism Commitment : A Chronology And Reflections On The Years 1993-1998, Joanna Garcia Vaughn
The Smith College School For Social Work Anti-Racism Commitment : A Chronology And Reflections On The Years 1993-1998, Joanna Garcia Vaughn
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This research study was undertaken to examine the organizational changes involved in the establishment of the Smith College School for Social Work's commitment to anti-racism during the years 1993 – 1998 in order to establish a chronology of the changes and to collect community members' reflections on the process. The retrospective case study involved interviews with 12 community members – faculty, staff, and alumni – who were present at the School between the years 1993 – 1998 and who were involved in some aspect of the changes. The members were interviewed about their involvement in the changes, their recollections of …
Bread And Roses : Clinical Social Work With Clients Living In Poverty, Katherine Jane Waggoner
Bread And Roses : Clinical Social Work With Clients Living In Poverty, Katherine Jane Waggoner
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study was undertaken to explore the possible relationship between future clinical social workers' beliefs about the causes of poverty and their commitment to working with individuals living in poverty. The study was an attempt to respond to concerns that have been raised about a perceived abandonment of the poor by social workers in favor of private mental health practice with middle and upper class clients. One-hundred and two students currently enrolled in the Masters program of the Smith College School for Social Work responded to a questionnaire designed to assess their preferred practice modality, perceptions of the causes of …
The Impostor Phenomenon : An Exploratory Study Of The Socializing Factors That Contribute To Feelings Of Fraudulence Among High Achieving, Diverse Female Undergraduates, Sara E. Wiener
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This two phase study explored what socializing factors contribute to feelings of fraudulence among high achieving, diverse female undergraduates aged 18-22. By means of a questionnaire and the Clance IP Scale, Phase I of the study captured demographic information of participants who self identified as feeling like a fake or fraud in academia and the degree to which their fraudulent feelings affect their lives. During Phase II, 10 participants whose scores on the Scale were 61 and above were interviewed to collect qualitative data pertaining to each participant's social and academic history and their perspectives on what factors contribute to …
The Relationship Between Job Satisfaction And Program Traits For Wilderness Therapists Employed At Outdoor Behaviorial Healthcare Treatment Programs, Lisa Winn
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
This study was carried out in order to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and program traits for wilderness therapists employed at Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare (OBH) treatment programs. It was hypothesized that wilderness therapists who work at base camp or in both base camp and expedition type wilderness therapy programs will report higher levels of Job Satisfaction on the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) because their work days are more flexible. Secondly, wilderness therapists who work in expedition type wilderness therapy programs will report lower levels of Job Satisfaction on the JSS because they work under more rigorous conditions. A quantitative …
Where Have You Gone, Hua Guofeng?
Where Have You Gone, Hua Guofeng?
China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012
Let’s face it: Hua Guofeng just never could get any respect. He’s the former leader of China, but was sidelined by Deng Xiaoping and relegated to the ashbin of history: the triumph of mediocrity…the Gerry Ford of Chinese politics. His death last week was greeted with a chorus of “Who? He was still alive? No kidding. How’s Liu Xiang’s ankle?”
The great Han historian Sima Qian once wrote that a man’s death could be as weighty as Mt. Tai or as light as a feather. Hua’s death was eclipsed by the achilles tendon of a 20-something hurdler/professional product endorser.

Happiness And Punishment, Christopher J. Buccafusco, John Bronsteen, Jonathan S. Masur
Happiness And Punishment, Christopher J. Buccafusco, John Bronsteen, Jonathan S. Masur
All Faculty Scholarship
This article continues our project to apply groundbreaking new literature on the behavioral psychology of human happiness to some of the most deeply analyzed questions in law. Here we explain that the new psychological understandings of happiness interact in startling ways with the leading theories of criminal punishment. Punishment theorists, both retributivist and utilitarian, have failed to account for human beings' ability to adapt to changed circumstances, including fines and (surprisingly) imprisonment. At the same time, these theorists have largely ignored the severe hedonic losses brought about by the post-prison social and economic deprivations (unemployment, divorce, and disease) caused by …
The Great Convergence?*
China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012
China and America, according to much U.S. Olympic commentary, currently offer a study in contrasts. Not surprisingly, we’ve been hearing repeated references of late to the stark differences between our young land and their old one when it comes to religious freedom and press censorship. And we’ve seen some novel variations on the familiar U.S.-China contrasts theme, like an August 18 Los Angeles Times piece by Mary McNamar that focused on style. Our every-day-can-be-casual-Friday approach, she claimed, clearly differentiated the look of “laid-back,” gum-chewing U.S. competitors, a sockless Matt Lauer, and a shirt-sleeved George W. in sports fan mode from …

Program Approach For Childheaded Households In Zambia, Samson Chama
Program Approach For Childheaded Households In Zambia, Samson Chama
Theses and Dissertations
Using an emergent design, this study developed a program approach for young people in the child headed households of Zambia. Phase I dealt with prior ethnography, Phase II focused on independent living services, and Phase III concerned translation to Zambia. A total of 36 participants from Richmond, consisting of 20 Richmond Department of Social Services workers and youth and 16 Africans, were recruited. Three major themes emerged: feasibility, content, and quality. Lessons learned about translational research highlight the need for uniformity in a cultural screen’s composition. This might enhance the richness of perspectives on young people. Lessons for the Department …

Pension Reform And Retirement Incentives: Evidence From Austria, Roman Raab
Pension Reform And Retirement Incentives: Evidence From Austria, Roman Raab
Economics Dissertations
The scope of this dissertation is to investigate the impact of pension reform on the financial incentives to retire for private sector workers in Austria. How do financial incentives embedded in the Austrian pension system affect individual retirement behavior? Was pension reform effective in changing these financial incentives in order to affect retirement behavior? How would future reform scenarios impact retirement behavior? Micro-estimating the impact of financial incentive measures on the probability of retirement shows that the behavioral response to financial incentives in Austria is relatively large in international comparison. Simulations demonstrate that pension reform was ineffective in providing incentives …
Essays On Political And Fiscal Decentralization, Riatu M. Qibthiyyah
Essays On Political And Fiscal Decentralization, Riatu M. Qibthiyyah
Economics Dissertations
We address the questions on what determines local government proliferation, specifically on the impact of intergovernmental transfers on proliferation. On exploring the determinants of proliferation, we provide a more elaborate empirical technique than exists in the literature by employing panel binary outcome, survival regression, as well as count analysis to capture the time varying effect from intergovernmental transfers. We also examine the impact of proliferation on service delivery outcomes and construct channels by which the policy may affect the outcomes in the education and health sectors. We apply panel difference-in-difference estimation and we uniquely identify the different treatment group and …
Wilderness Therapy And Spirituality, Lauren Elizabeth Rothwell
Wilderness Therapy And Spirituality, Lauren Elizabeth Rothwell
Theses, Dissertations, and Projects
Wilderness therapy is a therapeutic process intended for young people struggling with a variety of mental health concerns. There is limited research about this rapidly growing treatment modality, but what is known is that wilderness therapy seems to be one of the best way to positively effect young people because of the research regarding recidivism rates, symptom reduction and client/parent reports. Specifically within wilderness therapy research, this study looks at the possibility of spirituality as a factor of the wilderness therapy process. Spirituality also seems to be a concept that has crept into therapeutic work at a rate ahead of …
