Exchange Rate Volatility and Growth in Emerging Europe

This paper analyses the in_uence of NEER and REER volatility on growth in a panel of six developing European countries. Two measures of volatility are employed (standard deviation and ARCH/GARCH models) and its in_uence on growth is tested both through a GLS and a GMM estimation. Moreover, given the properties of the time series used, both panel and individual cointegration are tested using the Pedroni and, re-spectively, the Johansen methodology.

The Impact of Community-Based Arts

Community-based arts is a topic of study that has emerged relatively recently yet does not have a very substantial body of literature surrounding it. What does exist covers many of the perspective benefits of community-based arts projects, as well as providing a critical analysis of their effectiveness as well as shortcomings. The goal of this research was to analyze the experiences of participants in the community-based research process, and what their insight on the practice is. Using a survey that was distributed to members of the community, this research was able to reaffirm many known benefits to community-based arts projects, as well as identify areas where the practice can be improved

AFM-CSLM microrheology of aggregated emulsions

Teaching biodiversity with online identification tools from KeyToNature: a comparative study

This paper reports on new pedagogical approaches in teaching biodiversity by using online interactive identification tools developed by the European project KeyToNature. A comparative educational study was carried out on two classes of students, revealing the educational value of the interactive identification tools. A systematic evaluation of both the educational processes and the acquired skills was conducted, and the results are presented here

Entrepreneurship, agency frictions and redistributive capital taxation

Motivated by the observation that among OECD countries redistribution is negatively correlated with entrepreneurial activity, we examine the implications of entrepreneurial financial frictions for optimal linear capital taxation, in a setting where the government is concerned with redistribution. By including financial frictions, we emphasize the effect of a new channel affecting the equity-efficiency trade-off of redistribution: taxes affect the allocative efficiency of capital and, ultimately, total factor productivity. We find that high tax rates are optimal, provided that they are applied to wealth, rather than risky capital. Under plausible parameter values, we find that the optimal tax on risky capital is lower than that on wealth, and roughly in line with current U.S. levels. This suggests welfare gains from taxing only wealth at a higher rate.Othe
