Toxic Assets - Nuclear Reactors in the 21st Century

Toxic Assets - Nuclear Reactors in the 21st Century

greenpeace.org –

This report looks at the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster from an investors’ point of view. It identifies the long-known technological, management, governance and other institutional deficiencies that were instrumental in turning a predicted natural misfortune into a nuclear nightmare. Had analysts and credit-rating agencies looked beyond short-term cash flows and paid attention to the many early warnings, they would have been able to save investors from major losses.

Despite an increasing interest of economists in the determinants of corruption, the factor of marriage has been widely neglected in the literature. The results suggest a positive but ambiguous effect of marriage on corruption.

Rhetoric versus reality: the best and worst of aid agency practices

mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de –

Foreign aid critics, supporters, recipients and donors have produced eloquent rhetoric on the need for better aid practices – has this translated into reality? This paper attempts to monitor the best and worst of aid practices among bilateral, multilateral, and UN agencies. The authors create aid practice measures based on aid transparency, specialization, selectivity, ineffective aid channels and overhead costs.
