Economic Growth Rates

<p>The literature on life satisfaction in transition countries, and in particular on Romania, demonstrated that life satisfaction significantly differs across rural communities and cities of different size. The question addressed in this paper is whether these imbalances are stable over time or, instead, they become manifest in the presence of strong divergences in the economic growth rates of different kinds of communities. Results point out that in the period of sharp economic growth led by large urban areas, as the one experienced by Romania on the road to EU accession, rural/urban disparities in life satisfaction widened, favoring cities of intermediate size.</p>

The Relationship

<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p>Highway is a land transportation infrastructure that forms a transportation network to connect an area to other regions, so that the wheels of the economy and development can rotate well. This research was based on the road age of the third year of the road Krueng Geukueh - Beureughang, so the researchers wanted to know what factors were the causes of performance degradation on the road and the relationship between the decline in road performance on the material used. In this study includes 3 stages, namely, Core drill, Marshall Test testing and testing of Test Extracts that have been achieved using 8 (Eight) samples. So it can be concluded that there has been a decrease in asphalt levels on the road resulting in damage and decreased performance on the road. Coupled with increased charges within 3 (three) years, therefore repairs to the road are needed. From this research, it is expected to be able to provide input to improve the quality of the material and the layer of road surface pavement.</p><p> </p><strong><em>Keywords :   Decreasing Road Performance, Core Drill,  Marshall Test, Test Extract,  Asphalt Level.</em></strong>

American Society

This chapter connects the declining popularity and acceptance of hitchhiking with the nation’s economic stagnation in the late 1970s and the rise of the New Right during Ronald Reagan’s two terms in office. An increasingly risk-averse American society began to associate hitchhiking with subversive behaviour and crime. Unlike the youthful faces on the road in previous generations, the hitchhikers of this period—deemed “drifters” by the media—were predominantly out of work and desperate. The conservative movement’s frank acceptance of inequality and staunchly individualistic attitudes, in tandem with changing hitchhiking demographics, weakened the cooperative sentiments of previous decades, providing an easier justification for motorists to ignore so-called ride beggars. Although hitchhiking in many ways gelled with the nation’s automobile-centered transportation infrastructure, its unpredictability and cooperative nature ultimately did not mesh with a more risk-averse and privatized American society.

On The Road

However much men differ about what constitutes good government, they agree that it is conducive to economic development. It is sometimes taken for granted that the first step on the road to economic development is the establishment of an effective government that is determined to achieve such development. Thus Dr. Nkrumah enjoined his followers: “Seek ye first the kingdom of politics and all else shall be added unto you.” Students of economic development might not think the matter is as simple as that, but they still spend most of their time in search of government policies conducive to economic growth; they ask how economic plans can be improved, when governments can best rely on private initiative, and so on.

Term Performance

The large body of new statistical data that became available after the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification permits a re-examination of Italy’s economic growth. Up-to-date estimates and re-interpretations of Italy’s gdp from 1861 to 2011—at both the national and regional levels—in the light of institutional and technological changes within an international context find that Italy’s economic growth was substantial early in the twentieth century but slackened considerably since the 1990s, despite successes in long-term performance. Analysis suggests that the country is on the road to irreversible decline. Part of the problem lies in the failure of the southern regions to converge economically with the more highly developed central and northern regions.

On The Road

Abstract Elections in 2003, the third since the 1991 peace agreement, represent a significant step toward a multi-party democracy, but provisions of the Constitution designed to reconcile warring parties now pose problems for developing stable, democratically elected governments. Regional economic shocks to tourism have caused Cambodia to fall well below original projections for economic growth. Prospects for an international tribunal to try former Khmer Rouge leaders now appear to be moving toward limbo.
