An Empirical Characterization of the Dynamic Effects of changes in Government Spending and Taxes on Output

by Olivier Blanchard, Roberto Perotti - QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS , 2002
"... This paper characterizes the dynamic effects of shocks in government spending and taxes on U. S. activity in the postwar period. It does so by using a mixed structural VAR/event study approach. Identification is achieved by using institutional information about the tax and transfer systems to identi ..."

to identify the automatic response of taxes and spending to activity, and, by implication, to infer fiscal shocks. The results consistently show positive government spending shocks as having a positive effect on output, and positive tax shocks as having a negative effect. One result has a distinctly

Illiquidity and stock returns: cross-section and time-series effects,

by Yakov Amihud - Journal of Financial Markets , 2002
"... Abstract This paper shows that over time, expected market illiquidity positively affects ex ante stock excess return, suggesting that expected stock excess return partly represents an illiquidity premium. This complements the cross-sectional positive return-illiquidity relationship. Also, stock ret ..."

Determinants of Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Empirical Study

by Robert J. Barro , 1996
"... Empirical findings for a panel of around 100 countries from 1960 to 1990 strongly support the general notion of conditional convergence. For a given starting level of real per capita GDP, the growth rate is enhanced by higher initial schooling and life expectancy, lower fertility, lower government c ..."

of a nonlinear relation. At low levels of political rights, an expansion of these rights stimulates economic growth. However, once a moderate amount of democracy has been attained, a further expansion reduces growth. In contrast to the small effect of democracy on growth, there is a strong positive

Happiness is everything, or is it? Explorations on the meaning of psychological well-being

by Carol D. Ryff , 1989
"... Reigning measures of psychological well-being have little theoretical grounding, despite an extensive literature on the contours of positive functioning. Aspects of well-being derived from this literature (i.e., self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpos ..."

Results revealed that positive relations with others, autonomy, purpose in life, and personal growth were not strongly tied to prior assessment indexes, thereby supporting the claim that key aspects of positive functioning have not been represented in the empirical

Minimum energy mobile wireless networks

by Volkan Rodoplu, Teresa H. Meng - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 1999
"... We describe a distributed position-based network protocol optimized for minimum energy consumption in mobile wireless networks that support peer-to-peer communications. Given any number of randomly deployed nodes over an area, we illustrate that a simple local optimization scheme executed at each n ..."

Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition

by Stephen D Krashen , 1982
"... This is the original version of Principles and Practice, as published in 1982, with only minor changes. It is gratifying to point out that many of the predictions made in this book were confirmed by subsequent research, for example, the superiority of comprehensible-input based methods and sheltered ..."

best through comprehensible input (Krashen, 1989; 2003). I have changed my position on only one issue: At the end of Principles and Practice, I suggest the use of a form of deception- students may think they are acquiring vocabulary or learning subject matter, but unknown to them, they are acquiring

An argument for basic emotions

by Paul Ekman - Cognition and Emotion , 1992
"... Ortony and Turner's (1990) arguments against those who adopt the view that there are basic emotions are challenged. The evidence on universals in expression and in physiology strongly sug~ests that ~he~e is a biological basis to the emotions that have been studied. Ortony and Turner's revi ..."

Motivational and self-regulated learning components of classroom academic performance

by Paul R. Pintrich, Elisabeth V. De Groot - Journal of Educational Psychology , 1990
"... A correlational study examined relationships between motivational orientation, self-regulated learning, and classroom academic performance for 173 seventh graders from eight science and seven English classes. A self-report measure of student self-efficacy, intrinsic value, test anxiety, self-regulat ..."

Self-efficacy and intrinsic value were positively related to cognitive engagement and performance. Regression analyses revealed that, depending on the outcome measure, self

Grounding in communication

by G. A. Hunt - In , 1991
"... We give a general analysis of a class of pairs of positive self-adjoint operators A and B for which A + XB has a limit (in strong resolvent sense) as h-10 which is an operator A, # A! Recently, Klauder [4] has discussed the following example: Let A be the operator-(d2/A2) + x2 on L2(R, dx) and let ..."
