  • Climate and Resilience Bill
    Press kit Presentation of the bill to the Council of Ministers 10 february 2021 A LAW TO GET FRENCH SOCIETY IN THE AGE OF ECOLOGY In the same way that founding laws on freedom of the press and secularism laid down the core principles of the Republic in the early 20th century, the law drawn from the work of the Citizen’s Climate Convention will sustainably anchor ecology in our contemporary society. This text has already paved the way for a new type of law-making, based on a more participatory democracy. It will also enable us to transform our society and growth model and bring about significant changes. With this law, environmental concerns will become an integral part of the daily lives of French citizens, helping them to make more sustainable decisions when it comes to travel, housing, consumption and production. The law aims to get us through the crucial «last mile» of the transition : a significant change in our lifestyles. This text aims to do just that, by placing ecology at the heart of the French model and to permeate the most fundamental aspects of French society : schools, public services, corporate life, justice, but also housing and town planning, advertising, and transport for work and holidays. This law will not only have consequences on economical institutions to bring about a faster reduction in carbon intensity, it will innervate our culture, promoting environmental education, responsible advertising and reduced consumption. France is proud to lead these transformations in the face of a major health crisis coupled with an economic and social crisis.

  • The Wisselbank and Amsterdam Price Volatility: a Fractal Test of the Austrian Fractional-Reserve Banking Hypothesis
    THE WISSELBANK AND AMSTERDAM PRICE VOLATILITY: A FRACTAL TEST OF THE AUSTRIAN FRACTIONAL-RESERVE BANKING HYPOTHESIS CHRISTOPHER P. GUZELIAN* ROBERT F. MULLIGAN** Fecha de recepción: 8 noviembre 2015. Fecha de aceptación: 15 diciembre 2015. Resumen: Analizando los datos históricos correspondientes al Banco de Áms- terdam de 1708 a 1788 concluimos que la evidencia empírica confirma (o al menos no refuta) la hipótesis austriaca sobre los negativos efectos de la banca con reserve fraccionaria. Palabras clave: Banca con reserva fraccionaria, expansión monetaria, estabili- dad de precios, equilibrio. Clasificación JEL: E42, E44, N13, N23, N83. Abstract: Using 1708-1788 historical data, we test the Austrian hypothesis that fractional-reserve banking destabilizes commodity prices, complicating eco- nomic calculation and entrepreneurial planning, and contributes to boom-bust cycles. The Bank of Amsterdam («Wisselbank», 1609-1819) maintained high reserve requirements until the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780-1784), when its reserve ratio plummeted from nearly 100% in 1778 to around 20% by 1788. We compare price volatilities for 1722-1779 and 1780-1788 using fractal Hurst exponents. For all commodity prices tested, fractal volatility was higher during the lower fractional reserve period, except for rye, wheat, and Hamburg Bills of Exchange. Bill of Exchange stability was likely attributable to Hamburg transport ships’ ability to evade British incursion and to the Wisselbank’s legal * Associate Professor, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego (guzelian@po- box.com). ** Professor, School of Economics & Management, Western Carolina University ([email protected]).

  • Controversial Religion Bill Goes to Chamber of Deputies
    FORUM 18 NEWS SERVICE, Oslo, Norway http://www.forum18.org/ The right to believe, to worship and witness The right to change one's belief or religion The right to join together and express one's belief This article was published by F18News on: 31 January 2006 ROMANIA: Controversial religion bill goes to Chamber of Deputies By Felix Corley, Forum 18 News Service <http://www.forum18.org> Religious minorities and human rights groups are worried over the proposed new religion law, which resumes its parliamentary progress in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, on 1 February. "This is a very critical time for religious liberty in Romania," Evangelical Alliance president Pastor Paul Negrut told Forum 18 News Service. He complained that the government-drafted law passed unchanged through the upper house, the Senate, in December. Peter Eckstein-Kovacs, head of the Senate's legal committee, recognises that the draft is "problematic" but denied to Forum 18 that its adoption by the Senate without a vote had been a "trick". Adventists, Baptists and other Protestants, Greek Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses and Baha'is have already complained about the draft law. "The draft law infringes many laws and the Constitution of Romania, as well as international human rights commitments to which Romania is subject," Iustina Ionescu of the Bucharest-based Centre for Legal Resources told Forum 18. Romania's controversial government-drafted religion bill - which passed through the upper house of parliament, the Senate, unchanged without a vote in December 2005 - is set to resume its parliamentary progress tomorrow (1 February) when it goes to the Standing Bureau of the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies.

  • Legislating During War: Conflict and Politics in Colombia
    Legislating During War: Conflict and Politics in Colombia Juan S. Morales∗ Collegio Carlo Alberto University of Turin July 24, 2020 Abstract This paper studies how politicians and their constituents respond to political violence by investigating the case of the Colombian civil conflict. I use data on rebel attacks, legislators’ tweets and roll-call votes, and I employ event study and difference-in-differences empirical methods. Twitter engagement (as a proxy for popular support) increases after rebel attacks for both incumbent party legislators and for tweets with a "hard-line" language. Legislators increase their support for the incumbent party after attacks, but only when the government has a hard-line policy position, as inferred both from the recent historical context and from text analysis of the president’s tweets. Though the effects are initially large they last less than two weeks. The empirical results are consistent with a political economy model of legislative behaviour in which events that shift voters’ views, and the presence of rally ‘round the flag effects, elicit different politician responses depending on the policy position of the incumbent party. Finally, I identify a set of potentially affected congressional votes, suggesting that these conflict-induced swings in incumbent support can have persistent policy consequences.

  • Draft FY 2018-2022 Strategic Plan
    Federal Election Commission Draft FY 2018-2022 Strategic Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2018-2022 identifies the Commission’s strategic objectives and provides a road map for meeting those objectives. It also describes current challenges facing the FEC and addresses future trends that may affect the achievement of the agency’s goal. The mission of the FEC is to protect the integrity of the federal campaign finance process by providing transparency and fairly enforcing and administering federal campaign finance laws. The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA/the Act) reflects a belief that democracy works best when voters can make informed decisions in the political process—decisions based in part on knowing the sources of financial support for federal candidates, political party committees and other political committees. As a result, the FEC’s first strategic objective is to inform the public about how federal campaigns and committees are financed. Public confidence in the political process also depends on the knowledge that participants in federal elections follow clear and well-defined rules and face consequences for non-compliance. Thus, the FEC’s second strategic objective focuses on the Commission’s efforts to promote voluntary compliance through educational outreach and to enforce campaign finance laws effectively and fairly. The third strategic objective is to interpret the FECA and related statutes, providing timely guidance to the public regarding the requirements of the law. The Commission also understands that organizational performance is driven by employee performance and that the agency cannot successfully achieve its mission without a high-performing workforce that understands expectations and delivers results.

EXPORTING THE AMERICAN BILL OF RIGHTS: THE LESSON FROM ROMANIA Ronald D. Rotunda • Professor Ronald Rotunda continues the second part of our Bill of Rights Bicentennial Symposium with an essay on his experiences in Romania. Professor Rotunda was one of a small group of American legal experts that travelled to Bucharest to help the Romanian gov­ ernment as it drafted a new constitution and created an independent judiciary to help protect human rights. In the wake of the Romanian Revolution, Professor Rotunda found a poor country struggling to es­ cape a totalitarian past. The author concludes that while American pop icons such as Walt Disney and Whitney Houston have made a mark on Romania, our most significant export has been the idea of a constitutional government that cherishes individual rights.
