The role of cities in cohesion policy 2014-2020
Urban regions are an important factor in regional development. During the 2007-2013 programming period, the main input provided by cities and urban areas was at project level. For the 2014-2020 programming period, Cohesion policy enhances the role of urban areas. Nevertheless, in practice the role of cities still seems similar in scale. As the programming phase is almost completed, there is now limited scope for further influence on the design of the new programmes. The next opportunity to involve cities will be as part of partnerships during the programming perio
FISCAL COMPETITION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION IN REGIONS
We explore an economy with two regions and independent local administrations. Local governments collect taxes to finance public education, but once educated agents can choose to migrate to the other region. The Nash equilibrium of the long-run game between the two governments is compared to a golden rule-type social optimum. Preliminary results show that the Nash equilibrium will result in over- or under-investment depending on the extent to which public education is subject to congestion.Successive generations, Public education, Federal and local government, Fiscal games.
Families of automorphisms of abelian varieties
We consider some algebraic aspects of the dynamics of an automorphism on a
family of polarized abelian varieties parameterized by the complex unit disk.
When the action on the cohomology of the generic fiber has no cyclotomic
factor, we prove that such a map can be made regular only if the family of
abelian varieties does not degenerate. As a contrast, we show that families of
translations are always regularizable. We further describe the closure of the
orbits of such maps, inspired by results of Cantat and Amerik-Verbitsky.Comment: 34 pages, 2 table
Lower bounds for Max-Cut in -free graphs via semidefinite programming
For a graph , let denote the size of the maximum cut in . The
problem of estimating as a function of the number of vertices and edges
of has a long history and was extensively studied in the last fifty years.
In this paper we propose an approach, based on semidefinite programming (SDP),
to prove lower bounds on . We use this approach to find large cuts in
graphs with few triangles and in -free graphs.Comment: 21 pages, to be published in LATIN 2020 proceedings, Updated version

Dynamic Leadership: Toolbox for the Values-Based Entrepreneur
Four entrepreneurship models are proposed which lend guidance in the development of a business, from birth to exit, each examining ways to maintain the business founder’s initial vision and to continue to infuse values and ethical decision-making at each stage of development
Grief and the Treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The effects of grief and grief-repression are described as being critical aspects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Qualitative interview and extant program material are utilized to assess the role of grief in the PTSD syndrome, and a program that incorporates grief-related therapy is described. Implications of grief-related therapy for the treatment of PTSD are also discussed
Archaeological Research Opportunities and Contributions at the Chase House Site
Between 2008 and 2014, Strawbery Banke’s excavation efforts were focused on the south and east yards of the Chase House (SB26). Although the extant 1762 Chase House was the first restored building opened at Strawbery Banke, no archaeological research had previously been done there. Possible relocation of an historical barn to the site drew attention to the need to investigate the Chase House property in order to gather information about a former kitchen ell, outbuilding, and privy on the site. Analysis of the standing structure, historical documents, and archaeological features, deposits, and recovered artifacts expand the museum’s interpretation of the 18th-, 19th-, and early 20th-century Chase House proprietors and occupants
An assessment of Multilevel Governance in Cohesion Policy, 2007-2013
This study offers a thorough overview of Multi-Level Governance in Cohesion Policy in the current programming period of 2007-2013 by examining the evolution of the concept in terms of its definition and conceptual framework, analysing the current processes of implementing Multi-Level Governance in the EU27, as well as describing the advantages and disadvantages of partnerships in policy-making. Moreover, the study aims to formulate strategic and operational recommendations in the context of the preparation of the 2014- 2020 programming perio
