We explore the relationship of recessions and tourism cycles on the economic performance of tourism-dependent Small Developing States (SDS). Using local projections regressions, we examine how these cycles affect potential output growth and its drivers—investment and employment—and estimate the short-run elasticity of tourism growth to economic activity. Our findings reveal that the long-term influence of recessions are less persistent in SDS than in larger emerging markets, as tourist-dependent economies experience faster recoveries from recessions. Moreover, we use Cabo Verde as a natural experiment to assess the short-term relation of tourism on growth and found that tourism''s short-run elasticity to growth is around 0.4 over 12 months, with limited spillovers to non-tourism areas.

In Bezug auf das Problem des "rechtswidrigen Rechts" herrschte eine Kontroverse zwischen zwei Schulern Hans Kelsens (1881-1973): Adolf Julius Merkl (1890-1970) und Fritz Sander (1889-1939). Auf dem Spiel stand nicht weniger als die Frage, wer uber die Rechtmassigkeit einer Rechtsentscheidung entscheidet und welche Konsequenzen daraus folgen. Wahrend Merkl der Rechtswissenschaft das Primat zuschrieb, beharrte Sander auf dem Primat des Rechtsverfahrens bzw. der Rechtspraxis. Rodrigo Garcia Cadore bietet eine Polemographie an - eine ideen- und intellektuellgeschichtlich informierte rechts(wissenschafts)theoretische Rekonstruktion einer Polemik, die bislang nicht erschlossenes Archivmaterial nutzt und die Vielfalt der Reinen Rechtslehre(n) durch die Aufdeckung von grundlegend unterschiedlichen Ansichten zum Umgang des Rechts mit "Fehlern" innerhalb der Wiener Schule zum Ausdruck bringt. Somit wird die Reine Rechtslehre durch Wiederentdeckung fur die heutige rechtstheoretische Diskussion anschlussfahiger gemacht. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Werner-von-Simson-Preis 2022 der Universitat Freiburg - fur die beste Doktorarbeit auf dem Gebiet des Europarechts und der Staatstheorie - und mit dem Carl-von-Rotteck-Promotionspreis 2022 der Universitat Freiburg ausgezeichnet worden

Authors DG FARNSWORTH and RODRIGO GARCÍA OLZA RODRIGO GARCÍA OLZA Novel Series Part 3 Einar often mentions his vivid imagination and the emotions that he lets control his thoughts -- admitting he is "rather easily carried away." He makes a surprising assumption that the ghosts'' intentions are to "get hold of him." The 21-year-old appears to unconsciously project his most horrific thoughts and faults upon the ghosts and, then, condemns the apparitions for this. Einar is usually alone in a Gothic intimidating Twin Peaks mansion; forbidden to explore its long narrow corridors and rooms never visited, filled with mysteries, collections of eccentric objects, and secrets; where eyes of portraits and murals appear to follow as he explores, and where weird haunting sounds echo through the estate. A need to have space of one''s own is a strong theme. Einar grew-up in the witch town Tella, Spain, among caterers and servants with not much privacy, little space, no need or capability to maintain secrets, and no awareness of his own personal failings or how they could be related. The Secret Garden on Alcatraz Island offers room to develop unhindered, unguided, and without help. Similar to flesh diminishing from the skull of a cadaver, while gruesomeness amasses, the quaint lighthouse that once restored a sense of physical well-being effectively falls away into a hellish tomb of stone and bone. Nowhere to hide on the island with inward fears transfigured by an almost intangible menace of too much imagination. Two sets of eyes of the ghost gaze upon him. One set of eyes had the world explained but didn''t have the clever ways of persuading or tricking someone to do what one wants; which is needed to use this knowledge effectively; someone who learned empathy''s secret but not the capability to direct it to the correct object, and was delivered wings but wound-up not operating inside the family facade. Einar certainly knows that he''s alien and intrinsically different to himself: the remains of two - something excluded by or opposite to another thing. During their first meeting, the psychiatrist gave Einar four multicolored notebooks (he calls binders) to keep record of thoughts, feelings, and dreams. One of the first things Einar expressed was that he was technically a twin but it doesn''t actually count because Joaquín died in the first trimester. Dr. Ravencraft jumped all over this statement saying, indeed, it does count, that he''s still a twin: a womb twin survivor. The doctor, very interested in the strange phenomena, wants to know more; so Einar tells his story the best he understands. The psychiatrist''s intense interest centers around the fact that little academic writing exists about ghost twins. While living in Tella, Spain, Einar went to another psychological counselor about this, who belittled him - expressing no empathy, knowledge or understanding of vanishing twins. His previous therapist emphasized that his twin was only a mass of cells and it was quite apparent not destined to survive, that his sensitivity and concern should be more directed toward his mother''s miscarriage, instead - to not make such a big deal about it. Einar never discussed the matter, again, after feeling shamed. He sincerely feels the need for some respect, to be listened to, including maybe some sort of validation about his own grief and trauma. The modus operandi of "Embers of Einar: White Binder" is the elimination of inauthentic elements of the self in order to reach the core personality within. It''s a serial form of vanishing act, like Einar''s vanishing twin, thus the death of the archetypal (never-seen, only spoken-of) transgressive person to overtake the personality. For Einar this identification with the unthinkable is an act of defiance, a way of burying that shame about what is perfectly natural. Tension between losing himself and finding himself in others often overwhelms.

The son of one of the greatest writers of our time—Nobel Prize winner and internationally best-selling icon Gabriel García Márquez—remembers his beloved father and mother in this tender memoir about love and loss.

This paper estimates agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) in 162 countries between 1991 and 2015 and aims to understand sources of cross-country variations in agricultural TFP levels and its growth rates. Two factors affecting agricultural TFP are analyzed in detail – imported intermediate inputs and climate. We first show that these two factors are independently important in explaining agricultural TFP – imported inputs raise agricultural TFP; and higher temperatures and rainfall shortages impede TFP growth, particularly in low-income countries (LICs). We also provide a new evidence that, within LICs, those with a higher import component of intermediate inputs seem to be more shielded from the negative impacts of weather shocks.

Part fairy tale, part horror story about characters who convince themselves they are alright. But at times the truth arrives and they can''t get it off them -- and there is no answer, only a question. Tarot cards are not really meant to tell your fortune or future: the tarot aids in coming in contact with one''s Higher Self because the most powerful information sources come from within. Sometimes the best way to move forward is to go backward because the path to a bright future requires a shadowy regression. Protagonist Rodrigo Garc�a Olza returns to the racetrack to train horses. Rodrigo is a vampire especially attracted to what he cannot define, who let go of a life planned for the life he shares in San Francisco with photographer/filmmaker Liam Mannering. Liam''s film contemplates the many forms of erotic desire and shifting genders that both Shakespeare''s "Cymbeline" and mythology''s "Ganymede" release through various disguises of erotic attachment -- encouraging gender disruptions through less permitted forms of desire. And the necromancer, capable of every wickedness, brings back spirits of the dead to fight for him. Undead Spanish poet/playwright Federico Garcia Lorca searches for a way to be human, again.

Despite sustained economic growth and rapid poverty reductions, income inequality remains stubbornly high in many low-income developing countries. This pattern is a concern as high levels of inequality can impair the sustainability of growth and macroeconomic stability, thereby also limiting countries’ ability to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. This underscores the importance of understanding how policies aimed at boosting economic growth affect income inequality. Using empirical and modeling techniques, the note confirms that macro-structural policies aimed at raising growth payoffs in low-income developing countries can have important distributional consequences, with the impact dependent on both the design of reforms and on country-specific economic characteristics. While there is no one-size-fits-all recipe, the note explores how governments can address adverse distributional consequences of reforms by designing reform packages to make pro-growth policies also more inclusive.

The formal launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sets the global development agenda through 2030, placing significant emphasis on promoting social and environmental sustainability alongside economic growth and poverty reduction. Meeting the SDGs will require actions across a wide range of areas by both national governments and the international community. This paper examines the types of policies that developing countries will need to implement to foster economic transformation, to promote economic and social inclusion, and to meet key environmental objectives. Reducing inequality, achieving gender equity, and pricing energy and water resources appropriately receive particular attention.

Dollarization—the use of foreign currencies as a medium of exchange, store of value, or unit of account—is a notable feature of financial development under macroeconomically fragile conditions. It has emerged as a key factor explaining vulnerabilities and currency crises, which have long been observed in Latin America, parts of Asia, and Eastern Europe. Dollarization is also present, prominently, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where it remains significant and persistent at over 30 percent rates for both bank loans and deposits—although it has not increased significantly since 2001. However, progress in reducing dollarization has lagged behind other regions and, in this regard, it is legitimate to ask whether this phenomenon is an important concern in SSA. This study fills a gap in the literature by analyzing these issues with specific reference to the SSA region on the basis of the evidence for the past decade.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Geologie, Mineralogie, Bodenkunde, Note: 2,3, Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Institut für Geologie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Während des Pleistozän kam es in weiten Teilen Europas zu Vergletscherungen. Die Abkühlung wird unter anderem durch natürliche Veränderungen der Präzision und Neigung der Erdrotationsachse und der Exzentrizität der Erdumlaufbahn verursacht. Diese wiederkehrenden Veränderungen werden unter dem Begriff Milanković-Zyklen zusammengefasst. Schnee, der im Sommer nicht schmilzt, akkumuliert sich im Winter mit neuem Schnee und bildet durch Kompaktion Eis. Da Eis Sonnenstrahlen besser reflektiert als Boden oder Gesteine, wird mehr Sonnenlicht in das All reflektiert, wodurch sich die Atmosphäre abkühlt. Dies nennt man Albedoeffekt. So bildeten sich im letzten Glazialen Maximum vor ca. 21 Ka BP etwa 3000m mächtige Gletscher. Diese verhalten sich wie eine Flüssigkeit mit sehr hoher Viskosität und fließen der Schwerkraft folgend vom höchsten Punkt zum niedrigsten. Also in Europa von Skandinavien über Osteuropa bis nach Westdeutschland. Auf diesem Weg werden große Mengen Geröll und Sediment im, auf und vor dem Gletscher transportiert. Schmilzt der Gletscher schneller als er Nachschub bekommt, wird er inaktiv. Man geht von sechs bis 21 Glazialen Maxima aus. Die genaue Zahl ist unbekannt. Bei der Exkursion zum Thema Sedimentologie wurden u. a. folgende Orte an der Ostsee untesucht: Schmaler Luzin, Fischland-Darß-Zingst-Halbinsel, Rügen, Sassnitzer Feuersteinfeld, Hiddensee, Halbinsel Mönchgut, Greifswald, Aufschluss bei Wiek, Gedenkstätte Damerow, Gesteinsgarten Pudagla

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Paläontologie, Note: 2,6, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nordwestdeutschland lag im Tertiär in einem Wechselbereich von Land und Meer. Dies macht diese Gegend zum interessantesten Ablagerungsraum des Tertiärs. In dieser Bachelorarbeit werden die Foraminiferenvergesellschaftungen des Unteren Oligozän untersucht. Die Proben dazu stammen aus der Tongrube Mühlenberg Nord bei Dorsten des 5. und 6. Bauabschnitts der Firma Nottenkämper GmbH & Co KG. Durch die paläoökologischen Untersuchungen sollen die Kenntnisse über die Meeresverteilung und die ökologische Situation während des Rupels weiter präzisiert werden. Foraminiferen sind einzellige Organismen mit heterotrophem Stoffwechsel. Die meisten Formen erreichen eine Größe zwischen 0,1 und 1mm. Einige Großforaminiferen können aber auch größer als 10cm werden. Sie leben als Epi- oder Endobenthos in Meeren oder Lagunen. Einige Foraminiferen besitzen Algensymbionten, sogenannte Zooxanthellen. Einige leben als Zooplankton in der Wassersäule. Viele Foraminiferen bilden Gehäuse. Die Gehäuseformen reichen von primitiven, ungekammerten Röhren bis zu hochkomplexen Formen mit vielen Kammern. Abgesehen vom Prolokulus, der Anfangskammer, nehmen die Kammern von der ältesten zur jüngsten an Größe zu. Die Kammern werden durch Septen getrennt. Das Endoplasma kann durch Öffnungen in den Septen, sogenannte Foramini innerhalb des Gehäuses kommunizieren. Die letzte Kammer verfügt über eine oder mehrere Aperturen, über die Endo- und Ectoplasma kommunizieren können. Form und Lage der Apertur sind besonders wichtig für die taxonomische Einordnung. Bei Aperturen, die nicht an der letzten Kammer liegen, spricht man von Reliktaperturen.

Romance policial escrito nos moldes de grandes narradores como Conan Doyle, criador de Sherlock Holmes, O Trovador nos leva à Londrina dos anos 1930, cidade criada à imagem da capital inglesa. É lá que o tradutor Adam Blake e lorde Lovat, presidente da companhia de terras britânica Parana Plantations, buscarão a chave dos mistérios que se escondem nas entrelinhas de uma canção medieval. Rodrigo Garcia Lopes dá vida a aventureiros, estrangeiros de passado obscuro, trabalhadores sujos de serragem, fazendeiros engravatados e empresárias da noite, personagens que nos ajudam a desvendar uma série de assassinatos tem como pista a poesia. Um dos poetas mais consistentes de sua geração, Garcia Lopes prova, em sua estreia na ficção, ser um narrador completo.

During the past three years the frontier markets of sub-Saharan Africa have received growing amounts of portfolio capital flows, with heightened interest from foreign investors. Compared with foreign direct investment, portfolio capital flows tend to be more volatile, and thus pose challenges for sub-Saharan African frontier markets. This study examines the evolution of capital flows since 2010 and discusses the policies these countries have designed to reduce risks from the inherent volatility of these flows.

This paper documents stylized facts on the process of structural transformation around the world and empirically analyzes its determinants using data on real value added by sector of economic activity (agriculture, manufacturing and services) for a panel of 168 countries over the period 1970-2010. The analysis points to large differences in sector shares both across and within regions as well as for countries at similar levels of economic development. Using both linear and quantile regression methods, it finds that a large proportion of the cross-country variation in sector shares can be accounted for by country characteristics, such as real GDP per capita, demographic structure, and population size. It also finds that policy and insitutional variables, such as product market reforms, openness to trade, human and physical capital, and finance improve the baseline model’s ability to account for the variation in sectoral shares across countries.
