Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -My aim in this work is to demonstrate how stem cell research and therapy may morally harm women. I argue that the harm is located in the potential exploitation of women and the products of their reproductive labour, i.e. human embryos and fetal tissue, through the commodification of women's bodily tissues and reproductive capacities. I propose that the best way to disclose the specific harms to women in the stem cell controversy is to look at the relationship between the stem cell debate and the abortion debate. I argue that there is one tempting way to maintain the parallels which does not foster the proper moral consideration of women in either the abortion debate or the stem cell debate. However, I maintain that if we understand the abortion debate from a feminist perspective, we will be able to see the appropriate relationship between the abortion and stem cell debates.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the past twenty five years, fiscal and monetary authorities around the world have pursued policies roughly consistent with the insights from optimal monetary and fiscal policy. In the area of monetary policy, the modern consensus is to set policy rules so that nominal interest rates and inflation are low. In the area of fiscal policy, statutory corporate income tax rates have decreased sharply in OECD countries on average over time. Typically, theoretical models in the literature usually examine either monetary or fiscal policies in isolation, but not both of them simultaneously. This book presents two alternative dynamic, general equilibrium models where the prescriptions from optimal monetary and fiscal policies are simultaneously examined. These models offer some new insights on the interaction of such policies, especially in terms of their effects on household's welfare. A third chapter examines optimal fiscal policy in the context of preference reversals. This book should be especially useful for policymakers in the area of macroeconomics and researchers working in the field. 100 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The focus of this study is to explore differences in DNA preservation between adult and subadult remains and to determine if enough DNA is present to permit determination of family relatedness. The skeletal remains of eleven adults and seven subadults from two 19th century cemeteries from Indianapolis, Indiana, were tested using nuclear DNA analysis to determine sex, as well as Short Tandem Repeat (STR) primers to explore questions of familial relatedness. The results of the study conclude that biological age does not strongly influence the quantity of human DNA obtained or the quality of lower molecular weight DNA sequences. However, biological age did have an influence on the ability to amplify high molecular weight sequences. The nuclear DNA present in these samples was not preserved well enough to permit familial testing. 104 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the most influential schools of thought in evaluating the legal process is law and economics. Although this discipline has been in existence for over thirty years, no one has attempted to evaluate whether and to what extent it affects the court s decision in a case. The issues we consider in this paper are how economic testimony affected the actual decision and the role afforded by the court to economic analysis as contrasted with the law in crafting a decision. This presentation also provides readers with a review of the issues and evidence on the important public policy issue on the handgun control. Our methodology was to examine the trial and appeal of Hamilton v. Beretta from both a legal and an economic perspective. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book consists of three parts. The first part analyzes the stock market dynamic under the presence of agents with heterogeneous beliefs and connects it to commonly observed asset overvaluation. Its two main results are that the long-run equilibrium price is the risk-neutral fundamental price even though all agents are risk-averse and that heterogeneity of beliefs persists. The second chapter describes the interactions between a borrower and creditors, where the borrower has private information, and the loan sizes are determined endogenously by the competitive credit market. It is shown that without behaviorally honest types all equilibria but one are inefficient and result in the country's eventual default. The result helps to explain why developing countries often fail to establish a good reputation in order to attract potential investors. The third chapter experimentally analyzes the importance of utility and action interdependence in subjects' reasoning. The results show that such recent theories as fairness, altruism, reciprocation, etc. have a rather modest effect and explain less than half of subjects' deviation from payoff-maximizing behavior. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Consider the manner in which the AIDS epidemic in Africa has been presented in US print media. One need only look at back issues of any major news publication to identify certain recurring themes and images. AIDS presented unprecedented challenges to the ill; it has been attached to a set of stereotypes and assumptions about the peripheral populations traditionally afflicted with the disease. Motivation to pursue the development of treatment was tainted by perceptions of AIDS. One of the challenges inherent in research and treatment issues of the AIDS epidemic is the representation of AIDS itself and the subsequent construction of public knowledge on the subject. This research study analyzes the relationship between the changing linguistic and image based representation of the AIDS epidemic in Africa in US print media and the charitable assistance behaviors of select pharmaceutical drug companies. Results reveal a correlation between a change in the representation of AIDS in Africa and pharmaceutical industry response to the issue by making treatment more affordable to the African patient. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A secular problem in American primary and secondary education has been the disparity in spending and education quality derived from differing tax capacity across school districts. As a result, over the last hundred years, state governments, often compelled by court rulings, have sought to equalize tax capacity by offering aid to school districts with a low property tax base and high education costs. At the same time, state and local governments have increasingly established property tax abatement programs and other incentives to promote economic growth and influence the distribution of the property tax base. This book researches the consistency of economic development and education finance policies. It finds that tax abatements are contributing to increase the gap between property wealthy and property poor school districts, thereby possibly exacerbating resource inequality and disparities in the quality of education. The analysis should be useful to state, county, city, and school district officials and legislators who are involved in the design and implementation of education finance and tax incentive programs, as well as students and academics doing research in this area. 80 pp. Englisch.…
