  • Disentangling Strategic and Opportunistic Looting: the Relationship Between Antiquities Looting and Armed Conflict in Egypt
    arts Article Disentangling Strategic and Opportunistic Looting: The Relationship between Antiquities Looting and Armed Conflict in Egypt Michelle D. Fabiani ID Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-301-405-4733 Received: 30 March 2018; Accepted: 11 June 2018; Published: 14 June 2018 Abstract: Antiquities are looted from archaeological sites across the world, seemingly more often in areas of armed conflict. While this is not the only context in which antiquities are looted, it is an important context and one for which much is still unknown. Previously, the relationship between antiquities looting and armed conflict has been assessed with qualitative case studies and journalistic evidence due to a lack of systematically collected data. This study considers the relationship between antiquities looting and armed conflict in Egypt from 1997 to 2014 with a newly collected time series dataset. Autoregressive Distributed Lag Models (ARDL) with a bounds testing approach are used to assess both the overall relationship between these two phenomena and their temporal ordering. This article finds that antiquities looting and armed conflict are, indeed, statistically related; and that antiquities looting more often precedes armed conflict rather than the other way around. This finding suggests that looting is more strategic than opportunistic. Implications and future directions are discussed. Keywords: antiquities looting; Egypt; armed conflict; strategic looting; opportunistic looting; open source data; ARDL 1. Introduction Antiquities looting has become increasingly prominent in news headlines. Newspapers around the world show headlines reporting antiquities looting from Israel, Cambodia, China, Greece, Italy, Egypt, Peru, Syria, and the United States.

A TRANSACTIONAL GENEALOGY OF SCANDAL: FROM MICHAEL MILKEN TO ENRON TO GOLDMAN SACHS WILLIAM W. BRATTON* ADAM J. LEVITIN† ABSTRACT Three scandals have reshaped business regulation over the past thirty years: the securities fraud prosecution of Michael Milken in 1988, the Enron implosion of 2001, and the Goldman Sachs “ABACUS” enforcement action of 2010. The scandals have always been seen as unrelated. This Article highlights a previously unnoticed transactional affinity tying these scandals together—a deal structure known as the synthetic collateralized debt obligation involving the use of a special purpose entity (“SPE”).

  • The Clash Between Keynes and Hayek Defined Modern Economics
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/27562 The clash between Keynes and Hayek defined modern economics Nicholas Wapshott discusses the groundbreaking ideas presented by Freidrich Hayek in response to John Maynard Keynes’s positions on government intervention and the free market. Wapshott argues the debate which started just two years after the stock market crash of 1929, both defined, and still resonates within, present-day economic policymaking. Some buildings are imbued with history. For instance, the Old Theatre at the London School of Economics, where I gave a talk the other day on the same stage that Friedrich Hayek made his f irst and most devastating assault upon the ideas of John Maynard Keynes. It is an eerie f eeling, knowing you are standing in a spot where history was made. I kept picturing the scene in 1931 when the young Hayek, at the invitation of the LSE Prof essor of Economics Lionel Robbins, gave f our short lectures on why if a government tries to stimulate a f lagging economy, it may end up causing more job losses than gains. Frie d rich Haye k, o n the 50th Annive rsary o f his first le cture at LSE, 1981. Cre d it: LSE Lib rary Hayek f ailed to deliver a knock-out blow to Keynes, and although he returned to the f ight in the LSE learned journal Economica in the autumn of 1931, the argument about whether it is best to stimulate an economy in the f ace of large scale unemployment or rather, let the market f ind its own solution, has been going on ever since.

    How the Great American Tax Revolt Crossed the Atlantic1 Isaac William Martin Author’s accepted version; final publication appears in Modern American History, vol. 2, no. 1 (2019), pp. 107-110 On December 13, 1978, the California property tax rebel Howard Jarvis arrived in the United Kingdom for a meeting with Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher. Jarvis was a previously obscure right-wing crank who was enjoying a sudden burst of fame. Just six months earlier, California voters had approved Proposition 13, a ballot initiative of his design that was designed to limit the growth of local property taxes in California. He flew to London at the invitation of the National Association for Freedom, a young advocacy organization sponsored by wealthy Tories and business executives who hoped to establish a militant campaigning organization to mobilize the middle classes against trade unions and the socialist left. He also met with the Institute of Economic Affairs, a right-wing think tank closely aligned with Thatcher’s views that enjoyed extensive connections both to the Conservative Party and to the 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the conference on “Britain and America’s Special Relationship: Myth, Reality, or Anachronism,” UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, February 13, 2014. The author thanks Paul Pierson, Revan Tranter, Stephen Tuck, and Terri Bimes for comments on an earlier draft. The “Great American Tax Revolt” is due to Lester Sobel, The Great American Tax Revolt (New York, 1979). American libertarian milieu. Members of these organizations saw in Proposition 13 a populist political strategy that could help Conservatives win back the government from Labour.2 Thatcher had her own reasons to take the meeting.

THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT AND ETHICAL CORPORATE CLIMATES: WHAT THE MEDIA REPORTS; WHAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOWS Cheryl L. Wade* I. INTRODUCTION The question for participants in the Securities Regulation Section’s program at the 2008 AALS Annual Meeting was whether recent securities regulation reforms hit their mark. I focus in this essay on The Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX or the Act),1 the most important legislative reform of securities markets in recent decades.2 Enacted to assuage public outrage about corporate greed and malfeasance ignited by media reports describing debacles at Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, Tyco and other companies in 2001 and 2002 (the Corporate Scandals)3, SOX represented a legislative and political response to public resentment of what some considered a morally impaired corporate America. In the immediate aftermath of its enactment, the mark at which SOX took aim was the allaying of public indignation.
