AbstractPolitical scientists and economists have long been interested in the role of special interests in the policymaking process. In the past few years, a series of important new books have argued forcefully that the lobbying activities of economic actors have an important influence on the prospects for war and peace. All of these analyses claim that whether economic actors enhance or decrease the likelihood of conflict ultimately depends on the domestic political balance between economic actors who have a strong vested interest in pushing for peace versus those that do not. I advance two contrary arguments. At least among the advanced states, I posit there are no longer any economic actors who will be favorable toward war and who will lobby the government with this preference. All of the identified mechanisms that previously contributed to such lobbying in these states have been swept away with the end of colonialism and the rise of economic globalization. In particular, I show that the current structure of the global economy now makes it feasible for foreign direct investment to serve as an effective substitute for conquest in a way that was not possible in previous eras. My second argument concerns those economic actors in advanced states with a preference for peace. I posit that it has become unnecessary for them to directly lobby the government to avoid war on economic grounds because economic globalization—the accumulation of decisions by economic actors throughout the globe—now has sufficiently clear economic incentives for leaders.

Today, a difficult situation has developed in the field of wages and incomes of the population, associated with the need to increase the level of wages and real incomes of the population, since low effective demand in the domestic market can become the main constraint on economic growth in the near future. The main goal of wage reform in modern conditions is to restore the role of wages as the main incentive for productivity growth and labor efficiency, which will have a positive impact on the functioning of production and will give an impetus to its further development.

Opening Up

Recent developments which were coined to the opening up of borders have attracted interest of many researchers from many disciplines. A lot of work can be observed regarding the role of globalization / internationalization on economic growth and social development, this study specifically explores the implications of globalization on the ultimate goal that is life longevity. Adapting from the Kuznets curve, this study proposed a quadratic function of economic globalization and life longevity. The results using panel the ARDL model for the SAARC region, it can be seen that expansion of trade globalization de jure and management of financial globalization de facto and de jure may help them to increase longevity in the long run.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop the theoretical linkage between culture and economic growth and empirically test the relationship by measuring culture and how it affects labor productivity. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a cross-section study of developing countries and regresses economic productivity growth on a set of control variables and cultural factors. Findings It is found that three cultural factors, economic attitudes, political attitudes, and attitudes towards the family, affect economic productivity growth. Originality/value Many economists ignore culture as a factor in economic growth, either because they discount the value of culture or because they have no simple way to quantify culture, resulting in the role of culture being under-researched. The study is the first to extensively examine the role of culture in productivity growth using large-scale data sources. The authors show that culture plays an important role in productivity gains across countries, contributing to the study of the effects of culture on economic development, and that culture can be empirically measured and linked to an activity that directly affects the economic growth – labor productivity.

The Difference

This study measures and decomposes green productivity growth of Korean manufacturing industries between 2004 and 2010 using the Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. We focus on differences in the measures of productivity growth by distinguishing carbon emissions from either end-user industries or the electricity generation industry. Empirical results suggest three main findings. First, the efficiency of total emissions is higher than that of direct emissions except for the shipbuilding industry. Second, green productivity in the manufacturing sector increased during the study period. Finally, green productivity depends on the indirect emissions of each industry. These results indicate that policymakers need to deliberately develop policy tools for mitigating carbon emissions of the manufacturing industrial sectors based on our empirical findings.

This study emphasizes a role of human capital in the measurement of productivity growth and highlights the importance of sample selections in analyzing productivity change of ASEAN countries, especially from 2000 to 2010. The productivity growth in ASEAN countries appears to deteriorate, mainly due to efficiency losses in the first half of the decade and the lack of technological improvement in the second half of the decade.

Considerando que a Educação Ambiental pode contribuir positivamente para a solução, minimização e prevenção de problemas ambientais, entre eles aqueles derivados do planejamento inadequado e da gestão equivocada de atividades de Turismo e de Lazer, este estudo, que faz parte de uma pesquisa da Coordenação de Estudos Ambientais da Fundação Joaquim Nabuco – “Dinâmicas Ecológicas e Sociais em Ambientes Costeiros do Nordeste Brasileiro: interações e intervenções” – objetiva discutir e provocar reflexões sobre complementaridades e conflitos entre turismo, lazer e meio ambiente, ressaltando o papel da Educação Ambiental para o alcance da sustentabilidade social, ecológica e econômica, através de análises qualitativas das atividades em questão. Baseou-se em um estudo de caso – o Município Ilha de Itamaracá, pertencente à Região Metropolitana do Recife, Estado de Pernambuco – centrando-se na revisão bibliográfica, observações de campo, levantamento, coleta e tratamento de dados secundários e primários, estes últimos obtidos através da aplicação de questionários semiabertos e histórias de vida. Metodologicamente, a análise de conteúdo permitiu a interpretação das respostas abertas. Os resultados alcançados demonstraram que no município estudado as atividades de Turismo e de Lazer são desenvolvidas de forma intensa, mesmo nos períodos de declínio, ocasionando modificações significativas nos ambientes que lhes dão suporte devido à exploração massiva dos atrativos turísticos; ao fluxo desordenado de turistas, ocupantes de segundas residências, visitantes e excursionistas; à conduta inadequada em relação ao uso das praias e do patrimônio histórico-cultural; à ausência de planejamento e gestão pública e privada que integre uma Educação Ambiental abrangente e continuada às atividades de Turismo e de Lazer, garantindo-lhes sustentabilidade. Environmental education and social and ecological sustainability of tourist places and leisure ABSTRACT: Considering that the Environmental Education can contribute positively to the solution, minimization and prevention of environmental problems, among them those derived of the inadequate planning and of the mistaken administration of activities of Tourism and of Leisure, this study, that it is part of a research of the Coordination of Environmental Studies of Fundação Joaquim Nabuco – “Ecological and Social Dynamics in Coast Sites of the Northeast of Brazil: interactions and interventions" - aims to discuss and to provoke reflections on complementarities and conflicts among tourism, leisure and environment, emphasizing the role of the Environmental Education to the reach of social, ecological and economical sustainability, through qualitative analyses of the activities in question. It’s based on a case study - The Itamaracá Island Municipal District, belonging to the Metropolitan Area of Recife, State of Pernambuco - being centered in the bibliographical revision, field observations, rising, collects and treatment of secondary and primary data, these last ones obtained through the application of semi-opened questionnaires and life stories. Methodologically, the analysis of content allowed the interpretation of the opened-answers. The reached results demonstrated that in the Municipal District studied the activities of Tourism and Leisure they are developed in an intense way, even in the decline periods, causing significant modifications in the environment that give them support due to the intensive exploration of tourist attractions; to the tourists' disordered flow, occupants of second residences, visitors and excursionists; to the inadequate conduct in relation to the use of the beaches and of the historical-cultural patrimony; to the planning and management absence of public and private administration that integrates an including and continuous Environmental Education to the Tourism and Leisure activities, guaranteeing them sustainability.

We study a two-country model with changes in the technological growth rate. Such changes are attributed to transitory and persistent shocks in the growth rate of technology. Cases are considered in which agents in two countries do not have enough information to distinguish between the two types of shocks; gradually, however, the persistence of the shock is recognized through the learning process. Utilizing a set of parameters obtained from U.S. and European productivity growth rates, it is then shown that (i) when persistent shocks affect the two countries identically, there is no consumption-correlation puzzle, and the international comovement puzzle becomes imperceptible; and (ii) even when persistent shocks affect the two countries differently, imperfect information plays an important role in explaining both the consumption-correlation puzzle and the international comovement puzzle (provided transitory shocks are strongly internationally correlated and are relatively larger than persistent shocks).
