Deficit Financing

Experience with the processes of inflation and growth is varied around the world and through time. In Western Europe and the United States, there has been rapid growth (or slow growth) when prices were rising and when they were not. The Japanese success story shows that more or less chronic inflation is consistent with a high growth rate; but it also shows that the growth rate is less rapid at the highest (observed) rates of inflation. Socialist countries, like Poland and Russia, have experienced (planned?) inflation in accompaniment to growth. Recent Brazilian and Mexican experience suggests that a rapid inflation is consistent with (contributed to ?) a high growth rate. Indonesia and Ghana provide examples of inflation leading to stagnation or disintegration rather than progress. Other contradictory examples add to our mixed bag of empirical evidence.

AbstractLong-term infection of the airways of cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often accompanied by a reduction in bacterial growth rate. This reduction has been hypothesised to increase within-patient fitness and overall persistence of the pathogen. Here, we apply adaptive laboratory evolution to revert the slow growth phenotype of P. aeruginosa clinical strains back to a high growth rate. We identify several evolutionary trajectories and mechanisms leading to fast growth caused by transcriptional and mutational changes, which depend on the stage of adaptation of the strain. Return to high growth rate increases antibiotic susceptibility, which is only partially dependent on reversion of mutations or changes in the transcriptional profile of genes known to be linked to antibiotic resistance. We propose that similar mechanisms and evolutionary trajectories, in reverse direction, may be involved in pathogen adaptation and the establishment of chronic infections in the antibiotic-treated airways of cystic fibrosis patients.

Using Data

In this study, the present a statistically valid typology of high-growth firms (HGFs), also known as gazelles, to determine if payroll and job growth patterns differ between groups or clusters. Cluster–discriminant analysis was conducted on a cohort of 26,104 HGFs s in Ohio, using data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages from 2010 to 2015. Only 1.2% of all Ohio’s firms can be classified as high growth. The larger herd of gazelles grows consistently, while the other, much smaller pack experiences short, intense growth spurts. Roughly 30% of the two gazelle clusters (Consistent High Growth and Volatile High Growth) are in the information service, financial service, and professional and business service industries, compared with 18% in the low- and slow-growth cluster. The nongazelle HGF cluster has proportionately more businesses in manufacturing and the leisure and hospitality industries than the gazelle clusters.

The article contains the data on creating and maintaining the collections in vitro of some ornamental plants – lilac, roses, tree peonies. The analysis of morphogenetic processes during microclonal propagation of lilac cultivars demonstrates well-defined correlation between susceptibility of this culture to mineral mixture of nutrient medium and plant genotype. Rose cultivars from different garden groups keep high growth capacity during 12 subculturing cycles on Murashige Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP. For all culturing tree-peonies cultivars Woody Plant Medium (WPM) with double content of Ca2+ ions and total exception of Cl- ions turns out to be more suitable. The opportunity of 10 lilac cultivars and 4 rose cultivars preservation in slow growth cultures was appreciated. The correlation between long-term cultivation in low temperature and genotype of ornamental plants cultivars was shown. Thus, 18 ºС turns out to be suitable for creation of slow-growth collection of all studied rose cultivars, and 14 ºС – only for 'Nina Weibull'. Maintaining of lilac microshoots at 10 ºС during 5 months practically did not act negatively on their viability.

This study compared growth and carcass traits of 2 medium-growth crossbred, 4 slow-growth crossbred, 1 commercial slow-growth and 1 commercial fast-growth broiler strains raised in indoor and free-range production systems. One hundred twenty chicks of each strain were raised in each production system. Chicks were raised in indoor pens at a density of 10 chicks per m2. From day 29 until slaughter at 84 days of age, chicks in the free-range system were given outdoor access through doors that were open between 8.00 - 17.00 hours. The study found live weight, feed efficiency, and mortality were significantly affected by strain. However, no significant differences were found between the production systems. Outdoor access varied significantly among strains, with the commercial high-growth and medium-growth crossbred strains making less use of outdoor areas. In terms of performance traits, none of the strains showed any significant differences in performance between the indoor and free-range production systems. However, significant differences among the strains in carcass traits, pH, and colour values of thigh and breast meat were observed in connection with differences in growth rate. Moreover, carcass and breast yields were greater in fast and medium-growth broilers, while ratios of edible inner organs were greater in medium and slow-growth broilers. Keywords: abdominal fat, animal welfare, breast to thigh ratio, feed efficiency, outdoor access, slaughter and carcass traits

Poor Countries

Reasons of high inequality in the modern world are considered in the article. In developing countries it interacts with underdeveloped markets and inefficient government programs to slow growth, which in turn slows progress in reducing poverty. Increasing reach of global markets makes rising inequality more likely and deepens the gap between rich and poor countries. Because global markets work better for the already rich, we should increase the representation of poor countries in global fora.
