Establishing Monetary Union in the Gulf Cooperation Council

Establishing Monetary Union in the Gulf Cooperation Council

Should Easier Access to International Credit Replace Foreign Aid?

research.stlouisfed.org –

In this paper, the authors examine the interaction between foreign aid and binding borrowing constraint for a recipient country. They also analyze how these two instruments affect economic growth via non-linear relationships. First of all, a two-country, two-period trade-theoretic model is established to develop testable hypotheses and then dynamic panel analysis is used to test those hypotheses empirically. The main findings are that: (i) better access to international credit for a recipient more...

youtube.com –

We economic hit men really have been the ones responsible for creating this first truly global empire, and we work many different ways...but perhaps the most common is that we will identify a country that has resources that our corporations covet, like oil, and then arrange a huge loan to that country from the World Bank or one of its sister organizations. But the money never actually goes to the country...instead it goes to our big corporations to build infrastructure projects in that country- more...

In the advanced countries, three-quarters of people live in urban areas (UNFPA, 2007). Noting this momentous shift, The Economist put it this way: “Whether you think the human story begins in a garden more...

Putting Ethnography Science behind Your Strategy

Putting Ethnography Science behind Your Strategy

174.120.225.126 –

Ethnography is a qualitative research method often used in social sciences, but it has shown great value to the world of marketing. It goes beyond the normal settings of the traditional focus groups by taking research to the core where it matters most, an individual’s everyday life. Ethnographers observe, interview and videotape people in their everyday lives: where they work, live, shop and play. And the reason it has such value is because it overcomes the artificial nature of surveys and more...
