The Trouble with Diversifying the Faculty

Author(s): Walter Benn Michaels / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2012

This article presents the problem of politics of di erence realized within the American educational system, with a special emphasis on higher education. This politics is according to the author based on putting in the center of all educational actions the idea of diversity, as well in creating academic institutions. This key idea becomes in the American context a special significance, regarding the fact that the American society is based on ideology that celebrates multiculturalism and diversity as such. This article presents also an important for the contemporary situation in the United States problem of combining cultural and ethnic diversity on the economical category of di erence between various classes. Furthermore, it seems to be more significant in the light of the economic crisis in recent years that affected also American education in the same extent.

"Agro-Industrie" in der Sowjetunion

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): German Issue: 08-OEA/1974

Im folgenden werden sechs Auszüge aus einigen sowjetischen Veröffentlichungen vorgelegt, die das Thema sowohl in einem allgemeineren theoretischen Rahmen als auch in seinen einzelnen Erscheinungsformen beleuchten. Vor allem lassen sie erkennen - und es wird teilweise auch explizite gesagt -, daß noch keine Einhelligkeit der Auffassung herrscht und die vertikale Integration der sowjetischen Landwirtschaft sich noch ganz in den Anfängen befindet.

"I'll Think about it Tomorrow": Price Drifts Following Large Pre-Holiday Stock Price Moves

Author(s): Andrey Kudryavtsev / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

The study explores the holiday effect on large daily stock price changes and on subsequent stock returns. The motivation for the study is based on the Mood Maintenance Hypothesis and on the literature documenting lower stock trading activity before holidays. I hypothesize that if a company-specific shock takes place before a holiday, then investors striving to maintain their positive pre-holiday mood, may be less willing to make influential trading decisions, and therefore, may react relatively more weakly to the shock. This kind of behavior may create an underreaction to the shock and result in subsequent price drift. I analyze all major daily stock price moves, defined according to a number of alternative proxies, for all the constituents of S&P 500 Index over the period from 1993 to 2017. I document that both positive and negative stock price moves occurring immediately before public holidays are followed by significant price drifts on the next two (post-holiday) trading days and over five- and twenty-day intervals following the initial price move. The magnitude of these post-event drifts increases over longer time windows. On the other hand, I find that large stock price changes taking place on regular days are followed by either non-significant or marginally significant price reversals. The effect is more pronounced for small and more volatile stocks.

"Industrialisierung der Landwirtschaft" und "Agra-Industrie" in kommunistischem Verständnis

Author(s): Karl-Eugen Wädekin / Language(s): German Issue: 08/1974

The "industrialization of agriculture" has been one of the tenets of Marxism ever since the Communist Manifesto. But in practice Communist agricultural policy was designed at the technical aspects of large-scale farming and mechanization only. In the meantime, the American "agribusiness" and the West European peasant cooperatives together with processing industries and trade have brought about, in economic and organizational terms, more vertical integration of agriculture than the big socialized farms and the centralized planning and administrative system. Recently, the Communist leaders have come to realize this defect in the application of their concept, and "agro-industrial complexes" have become the order of the day throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The article outlines the notion and implications of vertical integration of agriculture and the differences and similarities- of its application in the East as compared to Western industrialized countries. Special emphasis is placed on the change of mind of Communist economists and on the reasons why, in spite of seemingly superior preconditions, the Soviet-type planned economies were slow to take advantage not only of horizontal concentration already achieved (huge production units), but also of vertical integration (combination of agricultural and non-agricultural activities).

"Puterea" managerului unei societăţi comerciale în situaţii de criză. Liderul complementar

Author(s): Sabin Siserman / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2014

The present paper aims at analysing the management of companies during crisis situations and the role that leaders have in surmounting these states. Contemporary studies on management consider leadership as a behavioural act focused on reaching a target (helping the company overcome a crisis), which involves at least two “actors”: on the one hand, the social leader (the “shadow” leader) and, on the other, the professional leader (the technical expert). A complementary leader is the person that manages to meet both the qualities of a professional leader, and those of a social leader.

"Лошите кредити": институционални и финансови аспекти, 1994

Author(s): Christina Vutcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Since the beginning of 1991 Bulgaria has been living through a period of transition from centralized totalitarian control to free market economy. Year 1990 can be said to mark the political liberation of the people with the adoption of the new Constitution. The economic liberalization, however, is a reality yet to be brought to life since private ownership is not prevalent in the economy. The prime aim of the transition is to substitute an absurd and inefficient economic system for a new one to rely on the free initiative, private ownership and competition.

(In)formal distribution channels in Romania during the 1980s: Entrepreneurial foreign students within the Second Economy

Author(s): Alexandra Bardan / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

This article explores the role of entrepreneurial foreign students in the entangled informal networks of the second economy in Romania during the 1980s by questioning an underexplored part of the distribution chain, namely the provision of commodities missing or in short supply which further fueled the black market. Using a network analysis that traced improbable connections, we identified an unexpected channel in the form of international trade fairs, seen here as potential occasions where informal links are most likely to be first realized. The case study figured the second economy as a transnational place where various actors competed in the generation of hard currency.

(RE)-STRUCTURING THE CEO’S COMPENSATION—THE CASE OF ISRAEL

Author(s): Katarzyna Mroczek-Dąbrowska,Yaron Shemesh / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2020

The executive compensation issue continues to cause protest due to the increasingnumber of cases of an unjustifiably high level of pay. The main conflict arisesfrom the misalignment of interests between the short-term expectations of the managerand long-term needs of the shareholders. Since there are no universal rules on how toprice the executive performance companies reach for different means of establishingthe CEO’s compensation and ascertaining manager’s commitment towards maintaininga company’s value. The issue becomes more complex once the compensation rules arenot a direct effect of the market power game but are additionally restricted by government.The aim of the paper is to discuss corporate government policies introduced inIsrael and their impact on executive compensation level and structure. Israel is amongstthose countries that partially regulate CEO compensation and thus the Israeli experiencecan add to the understanding of the effectiveness of modern corporate governance.

.#isoverparty. The Consequences of Brand Boycotts for Brands in the Social Media Environment After Russia’s Invasion in Ukraine

Author(s): Katarzyna Sanak-Kosmowska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

This study investigated social-media-based anti-brand communication. Guided by consumerboycotts and brand cancellation theory, the author conducted a qualitative study based on contentanalysis of tweets about 59 international brands that remained in Russia after the invasion inFebruary 2022. The research was conducted on Twitter between August 10 and 17, 2022. Thestudy aimed to determine whether brands that have decided to stay in Russia are still exposed tonegative WoM, calls for a boycott or brand cancellation after 6 months since the war began. Theobtained results made it possible to identify the number of tweets and their content and sentiment.They also showed the dynamics of negative WoM publications on social media and their character.The practical implications are the following: brands exposed to consumer boycotts, depending ontheir business goals, may decide to adopt a “wait-out” strategy.

1973 - Das entscheidende dritte Jahr. Eine Zwischenbilanz des 9. Fünfjahrplans

Author(s): Heinrich Vogel / Language(s): German Issue: 08/1974

The .report of the Central Statistical Administration on planfulfilment in 1973 deserves special interest: this year has received the label "decisive year for the ninth five-year plan". At the same time both, planned and attained figures can be compared with the detailed five-year-plan from 1971. In spite of generally fulfilled or overfulfilled targets of the annual plan the cumulated growth rates for 1971-1973 show a lag of quite a few results behind the levels stipulated in the five-year plan. The present article tries to analyze these lags in more details especially for Soviet industry. Besides the repercussions of the extremely bad harvest of 1972 the main reasons lie in too long gestation periods and the very reluctant introduction of new technologies. The rise of living standards also is not in line with original plans, particularly the new priority of consumer-goods in industrial production seems out of reach. It is hardly conceivable how Soviet lags in the great economic race with industrialized western countries will diminish according to plans.

1997 Asya Krizinin Merkezindeki Üç Ülkede Çeyrekler Îtibarıyle Finansal Kabarcıklar ve Kabarcık Patlamaları: Güney Kore, Filipinler, Tayland (1990-2019)

Author(s): Cengiz Samur / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2022

The bubble of price, as theoretical, is “too big deviation of asset’s price from its fundamental (intrinsic) value”. In regard to the country, as empirical; (i) financial asset price bubble happens when “a change (increase) in the financial nominal price index (percent) exceeds the sum of inflation and economic growth rates, at least as 25 %”, on the other hand, (ii) the bubble burst happens when there is “a too sharp decline in the financial asset nominal price index”, and when there is a decrease in the index in related to the total of inflation and growth rates, at least as 20%. Since the 2008 Financial Crisis, the debate of “financial bubbles and correct monetary policy” has been blown: Is macroeconomic stability possible in the country without financial stability? Is it required and possible to prevent a bubble formation and its growth? What should the Central Bank do? How should the monetary policy respond to the bubbles? The study is important due to its contribution to this debate. In this study, the financial bubbles that occurred quarterly in the period of 1990-2019 and in the three countries (in South Korea, Philippines, and Thailand) , which were amongst the countries at the core of the 1997 Asian crisis, are handled. They are essentially focused on the bubble bursts. It is the purpose to determine there is a connection between bubble burst cases and cumulative real cost, decrease in growth rate, or economic contraction. If there is a strong relation, to maintain macroeconomic stability in the markets, the government has to fulfill proactive (macroprudential) policies and has to intervene not only on bubble bursts, but also on bubble’s formation. However, some relations with only weak or middle degrees were reached.

25 Jahre "Sozialistische ökonomische Integration" im RGW

Author(s): Werner Gumpel / Language(s): German Issue: 01/1974

In the first 25 years of its existence, the Council for Mutual Economic Aid (CMEA) has exercised only moderate influence on the economic development of its member states. Any successes the CMEA-states have achieved in the economic field are the result primarily of national efforts. Integration in the sense of the European Economic Com¬munity has as yet not taken place. Only since about 1970 can attempts to this effect be noticed. Economic integration is hindered mainly by the different stages of develop¬ment of the various states, which results in many divergent interests. In future, however, it may be expected that efforts of integrating the member states will be considerably intensified.
