Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography
Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni University of Lugano and University of Verona and Accademia dei Lincei - Rome University of Lugano Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography USI First edition: 2015 ISBN 978-88-6101-014-7 Copyright © 2014 Università della Svizzera italiana CH-6900 Lugano The ‘Stone Collection’ at the Central Library of the University of Lugano comprises Richard Stone’s complete works in the field of economics. The collection consists of approximately 200 articles and books, published between 1936 and 1991, the year of his death, as well as some posthumous works, manuscripts and secondary literature. Much of the material comes from a donation by Richard Stone’s wife, Giovanna. The remaining part has been assembled and made available by the authors of this bibliography and by the Library of the University of Lugano (BUL). This Annotated Bibliography is also part of the Collection. It presents brief comments on each item in the collection, biographical notes and some more general considerations. The authors would like to thank Domenico Rossignoli for bibliographical research and Nigel and Caroline Webb for text revision. Particular thanks are due to the Director of the University Library, Giuseppe Origgi, for his valuable collaboration with this project. 1 The task of presenting the contributions of Richard Stone to economics, and in particular to the theory of income distribution, is facilitated, to some extent, by the existence of a number of complete lists of his publications, issued in books and international journals [see, for instance, Bibliography of Richard Stone’s Works, 1936-1984, The Scandinavian Journal of Economics , Vol. -

A Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties ~Overnent'
Spies, Lies, and a Commission 53 Spies, Lies, and a Commission: A Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties ~overnent' Dominique ClCment It was unnecessary to set up a Royal Commission to do apolice job, and a job that had already been done by the R.C.M.P. There is no Canadian precedent and no authority for setting up of a Royal Commission to sit in secret. There does not seem to be any authority for the action of the Commission in swearing witnesses to secrecy. The Commission refused to advise witnesses as to their rights, even when requested to do so. In many cases the Commission refused access to counsel at a time when the Commissioners well know that charges would be preferred against the person asking counsel. The Commissioners showed strong political bias and prejudice, and by the procedure they adopted they unfairly handicapped the defence of the ac~used.~ This remonstrance was part of a letter sent to Justice Minister J.L. Ilsley by the Civil Rights Union (Toronto) in February, 1947, and emphasizes what civil libertarians found most abhorrent about the Royal Commission on Espionage. The commission, from February to August, 1946, embarked on one of the most thorough abuses of individual rights ever conducted by an organ of the Canadian state.3 It was armed with extensive powers under the War Measures Act, Oficial SecretsAct and the Public InquiriesAct to determine the extent ofthe Soviet spy ring in Canada revealed by the defection of Igor ~ouzenko.~Coming on the heels of the deportation of Japanese Canadians in 1945-6 and extensive censorship under the Defence of Canada Regulations throughout World War Two (WWII), the commission provided civil libertarians with another powerful issue to remind the public of the vulnerability of individual's civil liberties to state abuse.5 The Royal Commission on Espionage played a key role in stimulating the early civil liberties movement in post-WWII Canada. -

ANDERSON HANDELSHOCHSCHULE, VARNA, BULGARIA ACCORDING to a report in the June number of the Journal of fi the American Statistical Association, Professor Warren M. Persons made the following statement at a dinner meeting of the American Statistical Association, held at the Aldine Club, New York City, February 13, 1930: "Statisticians may be divided into two broad classes. The first class, consisting of men like Oscar Anderson and Arne Fisher, are funda mentalists. The fundamentalists believe in a trinity: mathematics, proba bility, correlation. They are more interested in nice mathematical processes than in an examination of premises.~ They believe in absolutes. Their point of view is mechanistic. The second class, consisting of such men as Bowley, Keynes, Allyn Young, and E. B. Wilson, are skeptics. The skep tics include among their number many of the greatest mathematical statisti cians. They conceive mathematical statistics to be similar to mathematical physics in which, to obtain realistic results, premises must be subjected to the closest scrutiny. They value mathematics as an instrument, but they are not hypnotized by mathematical symbols and they do not stand in awe of the tool they use. They do not believe in iron clad laws or mechanistic interpretations in economics. They suspect, for instance, the validity of correlation coefficients derived from economic data by involved processes. -

Bordo and Harold James NBER Working Paper No. 8545 October 2001 JEL No. E22, B31, F33 ABSTRACT From the perspective of the late 1930s and 1940s the dominant view was that the inter-war currency experience was a financial disaster. The view is perfectly encapsulated in the League of Nations' publication The Inter-war Currency Experience, the bulk of which was written by Ragnar Nurkse and published in 1944. It was also the view behind the Keynes and White plans for international monetary reform, which culminated in the Bretton Woods conference and the establishment of the adjustable peg par value system buttressed by capital controls. An alternative view to Nurkse was posited by Gottfried Haberler in Prosperity and Depression, also commissioned by the League of Nations and published in 1937. -

Bulgarian Economic Thought Since 1989: a Personal Perspective*
SERIES: THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN TRANSITIONAL COUNTRIES〈 3〉 Bulgarian Economic Thought since 1989: A Personal Perspective* Nikolay Nenovsky Abstract: The profundity and timing of the collapse of the socialist economies took the econo- mists on both sides of the Iron Curtain by surprise. There were no theories that could explain or analyze the nature of such systemic social events and processes. The sovi- et-style Marxist political economy, neoclassical theory, and Keynesian interpretations were unable to anticipate, explain, or offer solutions to the real problems. This paper, explores the intellectual reactions of the Bulgarian economic commu- nity to the collapse of the planned economy and to the practical and theoretical chal- lenges of the post-communist period. The following are the three primary objectives of this study: First is a methodological objective, i.e., for explaining the dissemination of economic knowledge, determining its channels, as well as explaining the basic transmission mechanisms of economic theory in Bulgaria after the disintegration of the socialist bloc. Second is a purely informational objective, i.e., to present the major topics and issues studied during the period 1989-2009 and the findings of the econo- mists working on them. Finally, the third objective and parallel task is to theoretically interpret the development, characteristics, and specificities of the Bulgarian economic thought during that period. The main conclusion of this study is that although a few interesting studies re- garding the Bulgarian economic science have been published, they fail to offer inde- pendent and original ideas. The Bulgarian economic perspectives closely follow the trends of western economic science, which itself is currently at crossroads and is en- countering numerous challenges. -
“NOVELLINE POPOLARI SAMMARINESI” Di Walter Anderson
SCUOLA MEDIA STATALE SAN MARINO CENTRO DI DOCUMENTAZIONE SEDE DI SERRAVALLE ADDENDUM SAMMARINESE PERCORSO LINGUISTICO-LETTERARIO RACCOLTA DI FIABE, FAVOLE, LEGGENDE IN DIALETTO SAMMARINESE TRATTE DA “NOVELLINE POPOLARI SAMMARINESI” Di Walter Anderson ANNO SCOLASTICO 2012-2013 INSEGNANTE LIDIA OLEI 1 Si deve ad uno studioso come Walter Anderson la prima raccolta di racconti popolari sammarinesi in dialetto o in lingua effettuata tra il 1927 e il 1929. Grazie a questo studioso di formazione accademica, le ricerche etnologiche sammarinesi imboccano la strada del rigore scientifico. La raccolta effettuata dall’Anderson, con la collaborazione degli alunni della scuola elementare e dei loro insegnanti, è costituita da 118 testi in dialetto con relativa traduzione o in lingua italiana locale. La sezione più rappresentata è quella delle fiabe di magia, seguita da favole di animali e da altre novelle. Qui si riproducono alcune di quelle novelline sammarinesi più per il gustoso variare delle tonalità dialettali che per il contenuto narrativo, che ripete in genere schemi consueti. *Novelline popolari sammarinesi / pubblicate ed annotate da Walter Anderson. - Ripr. anast. - Torino : Bottega d'Erasmo, 1960. - 1 v. ; 24 cm. *************** Dal proemio “[…]Nel ricordare i nomi delle gentili maestre Serena Porcellini Pancotti (Chiesanuova), Tilde Saglione (S.

Analysis of the pre-1989 situation The spectrum of Marxism-Leninism In the period 1948-1989, Marxism-Leninism was not only the official but also the only allowed basis and framework for economic science, research, and the training of economics students at Bulgarian institutions of higher education. In the period 1944-48, along with the changes in political life characterized by the Communist Party’s complete takeover of power, Marxist-Leninist ideology was completely imposed in economic science and education. University lecturers whose views differed from the official ideology were dismissed from work – retired or fired. Marxism-Leninism dominated economic science completely throughout the entire Communist period of the country’s history. There were hardly any differences within the paradigm, with two exceptions: the problems of the market and the market character of socialism were posed and discussed at the beginning and at the end of the period. -

Last revised February 19, 2018. Project web site: http://www.probabilityandfinance.com Abstract April 25, 2003, marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov, the twentieth century’s foremost contributor to the mathematical and philosophical foundations of probability. The year 2003 was also the 70th anniversary of the publication of Kolmogorov’s Grundbegriffe der Wahrschein- lichkeitsrechnung. Kolmogorov’s Grundbegriffe put probability’s modern mathematical formal- ism in place. It also provided a philosophy of probabilityan explanation of how the formalism can be connected to the world of experience. In this article, we examine the sources of these two aspects of the Grundbegriffethe work of the earlier scholars whose ideas Kolmogorov synthesized.
