Why Wouldn't You Vote? Sen. Markey and Rep. Kennedy address Lynn Democratic City Committee. A3 MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2019 Nov. 5. No excuses. Voting is our duty BY STEVE KRAUSE The way I look at it, voting isn’t just a right. It is a duty. Presidents, senators, congressman/women, mayors, city councilors … they are not appointed positions. We elected these people. If something happens where an elected of cial cannot ful ll a term, and one is appointed, there is an election at the earliest opportunity to ll the position legally (unless a Constitutional chain of succession is followed). That’s pretty much all the Constitution dictates — and all it guarantees. It says nothing about any assurances that one of the two candidates in a nal runoff is lik- able, or whether either, by some happy miracle, mirrors your own political viewpoints. In fact, more often than not, both candidates have gaping holes in their political DNA to that point where, if you dwell only on those, you’d never vote at all. The 2016 election immediately comes to mind.

  • Syria: Reżim Asadów” Znajdziemy Się W Samym Sercu Syrii I Spojrzymy Na Ręce Baszara Al-Assada, Który Prowadzi Bezwzględną Politykę Wewnętrzną I Międzynarodową
    WYBRANE PROPOZYCJE PROGRAMOWE National Geographic styczeń 2019 r. W Nowy Rok kanał National Geographic wchodzi z mnóstwem nowych produkcji. Przeniesiemy się w przeszłość, choć będą to czasy, które wielu widzów doskonale pamięta. Nowy serial fabularno- dokumentalny „Internetowy boom” pokaże nam, jak powstawała słynna Dolina Krzemowa i jak rosła bańka internetowa, która w końcu musiała pęknąć. Z kolei m.in. o powstaniu internetu opowie seria „1989 – globalna rewolucja”. Pokaże ona także inne przełomowe wydarzenia, które miały miejsce 30 lat temu, a wśród nich upadek komunizmu w Polsce. Będziemy też świadkami niezwykłych wydarzeń, które zobaczymy od wewnątrz. W programie „Krwawa szkoła” przeżyjemy wojenną misję, oglądając ją oczami żołnierzy. Dokument „Tajemnice Secret Service” pozwoli nam z kolei wziąć udział w misjach specjalnych Tajnej Służby Stanów Zjednoczonych. Za sprawą dokumentu „Syria: reżim Asadów” znajdziemy się w samym sercu Syrii i spojrzymy na ręce Baszara Al-Assada, który prowadzi bezwzględną politykę wewnętrzną i międzynarodową. W styczniu czeka nas także mocna dawka wrażeń z seriami „Plemienna szkoła przetrwania” i „Plemienna szkoła przetrwania: ryzykowna gra”. Instruktor survivalu Hazen Audel zabierze nas w rejony, z których przeciętni turyści nie uszliby z życiem. On jednak nauczy się technik przetrwania od lokalnej ludności. Seria „Szaleństwo na pokładzie” pozwoli nam z kolei uczestniczyć w najbardziej niebezpiecznych, dramatycznych i wzruszających momentach na pokładach samolotów. A skoro o pokładach mowa, zagłębimy się w historię historycznego rejsu Titanica i sprawdzimy dokładnie, co skrywa wrak leżący na dnie Atlantyku. KATASTROFA W PRZESTWORZACH AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION 18 Premiery w poniedziałki od 28 stycznia o godz. 21:00 (10x60 min) Był 28 listopada 2016 roku. Samolot z brazylijską drużyną piłkarską Chapecoense miał wkrótce lądować na lotnisku w Kolumbii.

  • Asset Bubbles and Product Market Competition
    Asset Bubbles and Product Market Competition Francisco Queirós* Universitat Pompeu Fabra February 9, 2018 Abstract This paper studies the effects of rational bubbles in an economy characterized by imperfect competition in product markets. It provides two main insights. The first is that imperfect competition relaxes the conditions for the existence of rational bubbles. When they have market power, firms restrict output and investment to enjoy supernormal profits. This depresses the interest rate, making rational bubbles possible even when capital accumulation is dynamically efficient. The second is that by providing a production or entry subsidy, asset bubbles may have a pro-competitive effect and force firms to expand and cut profit margins. However, once they get too large they can lead to overinvestment and sustain corporate losses. I use anecdotal evidence from the British railway mania of the 1840s and the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s to support the model’s hypotheses and predictions. JEL Classification: D43, E32, E44, O40 Key words: rational bubbles, competition, market power, dotcom bubble, British railway mania *Address: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Ramon Trias Fargas 25-27, 08005 Barcelona, Spain. e-mail: [email protected]. I am greatly indebted to my advisors, Fernando Broner and Jaume Ventura, for their guidance and motivation. I also thank Matt Delventhal, Luca Fornaro, Alberto Martin, Haozhou Tang, Tomas Williams and participants of the CREI International Lunch for helpful discussions and suggestions. I also thank Gareth Campbell and John Turner for sharing their data on railway share prices. I acknowledge financial support from the Portuguese Science Foundation (grant SFRH/BD/87426/2012).

I first document a negative industrylevel relationship between measures of stock market overvaluation and indicators of market power: larger overvaluation is associated with an increase in the number of firms, lower markups and a higher probability of negative earnings. I then construct multi-industry growth model featuring imperfect competition and rational bubbles that sheds light on these findings. By providing an entry or production subsidy, bubbles stimulate competition and reduce monopoly rents. When they are sufficiently large they can, however, lead to excessive entry and competition. I also show that imperfect competition depresses the interest rate, thereby relaxing the conditions for the emergence of rational bubbles.
