Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Service Barriers
    7 Service Barriers Approximately 14 percent of Americans are employed in tradable business ser- vice fi rms; manufacturing fi rms, by comparison, employ only 10 percent of the total US workforce (Jensen 2011).1 In 2007 business service sector jobs paid an average salary of $56,000, some $10,000 more than the average salary in manu- facturing. But largely because of high nontariff barriers (NTBs), only 5 percent of US business service fi rms engage in exporting, compared to 25 percent of US manufacturing plants (Jensen 2011). US manufacturing fi rms export approxi- mately 20 percent of their annual output, but US business service fi rms export only 4 percent. That said, in 2013, US service exports amounted to $681 billion, and the US service trade surplus was approximately $229 billion.2 In short, the United States has a latent, but strong, comparative advantage in exporting busi- ness services.3 1. Sherry M. Stephenson made a major contribution to this chapter. Stephenson is a senior fellow at the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) in Geneva and a senior advisor for services trade at the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington. 2. Moreover, offi cial statistics often undercount the direct service exports that they purport to measure, such as McKinsey consulting services for foreign clients. Offi cial statistics can be found at US Bureau of Economic Statistics. See US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, “International Economic Accounts,” www.bea.gov (accessed on May 29, 2014). 3. Of course many services—haircuts, taxi rides, restaurant meals—remain nontradable, in the sense of cross-border supply, because consumption and production must be performed at the same place and at the same time.

  • Interdiction of Haitian Migrants on the High Seas: a Legal and Policy Analysis
    Interdiction of Haitian Migrants on the High Seas: A Legal and Policy Analysis Claire P. Gutekunstt In September 1981 President Reagan announced a policy of interdic- tion of undocumented migrants on the high seas. The interdiction pro- gram involves boarding vessels suspected of carrying illegal migrants, questioning those aboard, and returning to their home country all per- sons determined to lack valid entry documents or colorable claims to refugee status. To date, the Reagan Administration has implemented the program only with respect to Haitian migrants, although the policy as announced was not limited to Haitians. Interdiction underscores a basic ambiguity in the definition of a refu- gee in domestic and international law. The ambiguity centers on the point at which an individual, leaving one country and attempting to enter another, attains refugee status with its attendant protections. The an- nounced interdiction policy is based on the premise that whatever rights people might have to leave their country, admission to another country is not a right, but a privilege, which may be granted or denied by national governments. This premise does not acknowledge the tension existing between national sovereign rights and international principles governing asylum, and thus the legal status of the interdiction policy is uncertain. Because the United States is a leader in the development of interna- tional law, and because it so frequently is the intended destination of migrants, its policies and actions concerning immigration and refugees can have impact far beyond individual cases and strictly national con- cerns. They may affect the immigration policies of many other states and, ultimately, the international treatment of refugees.

  • Aid and Exports: Selected Country Practices 4
    Aid and Exports: Selected Country Practices 4 t is hard to say how important aid is in promoting exports. One study found that 14.6 percent of OECD exports to developing countries during 1987-1990 were aid- financed. l But what does this mean? On the one hand, someI of these exports would have occurred without the aid financing. 2 On the other hand, exports directly financed by aid can lead to other exports not using aid financing, so over time aid could have a cumulative effect that far exceeds its export coverage in a given year. We can, however, examine countries’ practices that tend to increase or decrease the exports resulting from foreign aid. This chapter examines practices of the United States, Japan, France, 3 Germany, and the United Kingdom in four areas: the composi- tion of aid (cash transfer, projects in particular sectors, etc.); geographic focus of aid; tying of aid, both formal and informal; and the use of loans (especially tied loans). Much of the data is available only for aid as a whole; but, where possible, environment- related aid is discussed. A fifth area of practice, the building of long-term relationships (such as through technology coopera- tion), was discussed in box 2-B; and a sixth area, use of a country’s aid that can help national firms to win contracts under multilateral aid projects, was discussed in box 2-C. Among the foreign countries examined, Japan’s aid may pose the greatest commercial challenge to the United States, and 1 This figure is derived from a restricted OECD documen~ which gives an analysis by Professor Catrinus J.
