System dynamics approach to the analysis of interaction of foreign direct investment and employment in Thailand

Author's OriginalThis paper was also presented at the Academy of International Business Northeast Annual Conference October 1-4, 2009, in New York City.This research studies the effect of FDI policy on the wages and employment in Thailand. A system dynamics model that simulates the interaction between labor market and foreign direct investment in Thailand is used. The results show that having an FDI policy results in higher FDI in the short term but lower FDI in the long term. The effect of the policy on unemployment in the short term is not significant but the unemployment ratio is higher than it would be without such policy in the long term. Regarding the salary, having an FDI policy results in having higher average salary in both the short-term and the long term.Samii, M., & Teekasap, P. (2010).

Increasing false recognition rates with confirmatory feedback : a phenomenological analysis

Accepted ManuscriptDuring a simulated witness interrogation, participants were encouraged to confabulate an account consistent with false information concerning a videotaped event. The interviewer verbally affirmed some false responses. Previous research has shown that, a week later, participants often recognize confabulated events that were affirmed by the experimenter as being from the video. What is unclear is whether confirmatory feedback encouraged a change in the mental representation of the confabulated events to fit the original event or confirmation might have merely encouraged a change in beliefs about the event. To further understand the mechanisms that underlie the confirmatory feedback effect, participants were asked to judge the phenomenological experience associated with false recognition.Frost, R J., Lacroix, D., & Sanborn, N.

Class Project : Leclaire/Hearst Park expansion Chicago, Illinois

As stated in the thesis project, "This project consists of a four year effort to acquire funding to promote facilitation/expansion of the Leclaire/Hearst Park Community Center. This park is located on the far Southwest side of Chicago near Midway Airport. The community is the Leclaire/Hearst Community which is a low to moderate income minority community, consisting of residents in Leclaire Courts public housing development and private homeowners referred to as the Hearst Community. The expansion of the park consists of two phases. Phase I consists of increasing the land space (1.73) acres by incorporating 3 vacant lots directly across the street from the current park facility. The community is responsible for monitoring all activities of the land acquisition through to and including ground breaking. Phase II consists of acquiring funds to build an expanded park building facility. The new facility will include a swimming pool, exercise weight room, computer room, and multi-purpose gym. The multi-purpose gym will allow for a theatre, roller rink, and removable boxing ring. A small reference library (the community has no library in the immediate area); a computer room, and a community room are also planned. The goals of the project were to: 1. Follow-up on Phase I activities. 2. Provide Community Input to construction planning concept. 3. Review Bidders List for contract construction 4. Examine "Blue Prints" and construction specifications. 5. Facilitate Ground Breaking. 6. Begin Phase II Activities - New Building Construction Concepts and locate potential funders (On-Going). All goals have been met with the exception of one. Due to Chicago Park District (CPD) placing a "FREEZE" on all construction projects, we experienced a set-back in ground breaking activities. However, a new ground breaking date is tentatively scheduled for June, 1994. As of January, 1994, we may need to repeat our steps or project goals due to the CPD freeze. In short, we will repeat our project goals listed above, once again, in 1994. However, the community learned patience and determination. We will see this project through completion and "Keep Our Eyes On The Prize"! This project has been a truly rewarding experience for me as well as residents in the community. The efforts put forth in this project will be replicated in other areas to address community issues such as: economic development, job creation, social/human services planning, educational/vocational job training assistance, etc." (Library-derived description)Williams, J.

Words and weddings: shifts in the vocabulary of marriage and literature

Literature abounds with versions of courtship leading to marriage. By exploring the morphology and usage of words associated with matrimony, changes in grammar, as well as mining Greek, Elizabethan, Shakespearean, Romantic, and Victorian works, changes occurred in what marriage meant to society, and what words were used to describe marriage. Identifying patterns, alongside interdisciplinary applications, and the heavy use of New Historicism, shows how the institution of marriage –the modern ones based on relationships, versus mere family ties, rank, and “business-like” arrangements of old - resulted in an evolution that could only have come about with societal changes allowing that relearning.

Finance as a foreign language

Version of RecordStudents in introductory finance courses have diverse worldviews, learning styles and motives for taking the course. While there are many differences between teaching a second traditional language and finance, there are also many similarities. For some students, finance is indeed a foreign language. Consequently many of the techniques used in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) may be adapted for use by teachers of finance. An overview of a particular TEFL approach, communicative language teaching (CLT), is provided. At first glance, it seems the barrier most likely to affect one's decision to adopt CLT strategies for finance is the preparatory time required.Bristol, K. (2008).
