  • Notes from NOREF and İhsan Doğramacı Center For
    V2, N1, Jan. 2013, 53-59 Notes from NOREF and İhsan Doğramacı Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research: Summary and Reflections on the Turkish and Norwegian Approaches to the Arab Spring and Peacebuilding* Ç. Esra Çuhadar Bilkent University Monica Rafael Simoes Norwegian Peacebuilding Resource Center (NOREF) The Arab uprisings and the transition processes following the regime changes in these countries have occupied the foreign policy agendas of Turkey and Norway during the last two years, even though these events affected the two nations in varying degrees and ways. Turkey, as a direct or regional neighbour of these Arab countries, has been experiencing this process more directly and has been greatly affected economically, socially, and politically, especially from the influx of almost 200.000 refugees. Norway, on the other hand, which has been experiencing this process rather indirectly and from a greater distance, has still been impacted in a variety of ways. Regardless of the magnitude of the tremors felt by Turkey and Norway, both countries desire to act upon the developments in a constructive manner and be constructive forces to help this transition. A Turkey-Norway collaboration may sound like an unusual partnership, but a common agenda for peacebuilding and conflict resolution led two organizations, the Norwegian Peacebuilding Resource Center (NOREF) and the İhsan Doğramacı Peace Foundation’s Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research at Bilkent University in Ankara, to explore the potential of this partnership in relation to the Arab uprisings. The two groups collaborated in a workshop held with Turkish and Norwegian academics under the co-sponsorship of the Strategic Research Center (SAM) of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 1 and 2 November 2012 in Ankara.

In this work we review basic techniques, implementations, and current applications for broadband spectroscopy. We discuss com- ponents of broadband spectroscopy including light sources, absorption cells, and detection methods and then discuss specific combinations of these components in commonly used techniques. We finish this review by discussing po- tential future advances in techniques and applications of broadband spectroscopy. © 2016 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (300.1030) Absorption; (120.6200) Spectrometers and spectroscopic instrumentation; (120.4640) Optical instruments; (300.6390) Spectroscopy, molecular. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.34.000104 1.

  • Economics 881.25 Human Capital and Economic Development
    Economics 881.25 Human Capital and Economic Development Class Meetings Class times Fridays 15:05 - 17:35 Classes begin 9 January 2015 Classes end 20 February 2015 Class location Social Sciences 111 Instructor Instructor Robert Garlick Email [email protected] Office Social Sciences 204 Office hours Wednesdays 13:30 - 15:30 for open office hours http://robertgarlick.youcanbook.me for one-on-one meetings about research 1 Course Overview This is a graduate, seminar-style course studying the intersection between development economics and the economics of human capital. The course is aimed primarily at doctoral students in eco- nomics who are interested in conducting research in development economics. Much of the material will also be relevant for graduate students interested in applied microeconomic research on human capital topics. The course will focus on two dimensions of human capital: education and health. Issues around nutrition and fertility will be discussed briefly but will not be a major focus. We will focus on economic topics relevant to low- and middle-income countries and will primarily read papers using data from these countries. We will also read some papers using data from developed countries, focusing on their theoretical or methodological contributions. We will only briefly discuss some macroeconomic aspects of the relationship between human capital and economic development. We will not study the relationship between human capital and the labor market, as this will be discussed in detail in Economics 881.26. The course has three goals: 1. Prepare students to conduct applied microeconomic research at the intersection between de- velopment economics and the economics of human capital 2.

Does Increased Access Increase Equality? Gender and Child Health Investments in India Emily Oster NBER Working Paper No. 12743 December 2006 JEL No. I18,J13,J16,O12 ABSTRACT Policymakers often argue that increasing access to health care is one crucial avenue for decreasing gender inequality in the developing world. Although this is generally true in the cross section, time series evidence does not always point to the same conclusion. This paper analyzes the relationship between access to child health investments and gender inequality in those health investments in India. A simple theory of gender-biased parental investment suggests that gender inequality may actually be non-monotonically related to access to health investments.
