  • Capitalism and Society
    Capitalism and Society Volume 3, Issue 3 2008 Article 2 The Many Contributions of Edmund Phelps: American Economic Association Luncheon Speech Honoring the 2006 Nobel Laureate in Economics James J. Heckman∗ ∗University of Chicago; Geary Institute, University College Dublin; and the American Bar Foundation Copyright c 2008 The Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Heckman: The Many Contributions of Edmund Phelps The following speech was given at the American Economic Association Annual Meetings, New Orleans, January 5, 2008. This draft was revised August 14, 2008. This research was supported by the American Bar Foundation and the Geary Institute, University College Dublin. Throughout his career, Ned Phelps has made fundamental contributions to growth theory, macroeconomics, public finance and social welfare theory that deserved the high recognition accorded by the Nobel Prize committee in October, 2006. He is one of the most original thinkers in economics. The citation issued when Phelps was made a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association still speaks for the community of economists today: The collection of papers from a conference that he organized, Microeconomic Foundations, pushed questions about theoretical foundations to the front of the research agenda and changed forever our notion of what constitutes an acceptable macroeconomic theory... Throughout his career Phelps has been willing to step outside of the existing analytical framework and rethink the basic issues... He continues to push theorists and policy makers to rethink their analysis of expectations, inflation, and unemployment and to set a high standard for what it means to be an economic theorist. (American Economic Association 2001) Phelps’s output of original concepts, models and theorems has been vast.

  • Personalization of Political Newspaper Coverage: a Longitudinal Study in the Dutch Context Since 1950
    Personalization of political newspaper coverage: a longitudinal study in the Dutch context since 1950 Ellis Aizenberg, Wouter van Atteveldt, Chantal van Son, Franz-Xaver Geiger VU University, Amsterdam This study analyses whether personalization in Dutch political newspaper coverage has increased since 1950. In spite of the assumption that personalization increased over time in The Netherlands, earlier studies on this phenomenon in the Dutch context led to a scattered image. Through automatic and manual content analyses and regression analyses this study shows that personalization did increase in The Netherlands during the last century, the changes toward that increase however, occurred earlier on than expected at first. This study also shows that the focus of reporting on politics is increasingly put on the politician as an individual, the coverage in which these politicians are mentioned however became more substantive and politically relevant. Keywords: Personalization, content analysis, political news coverage, individualization, privatization Introduction When personalization occurs a focus is put on politicians and party leaders as individuals. The context of the news coverage in which they are mentioned becomes more private as their love lives, upbringing, hobbies and characteristics of personal nature seem increasingly thoroughly discussed. An article published in 1984 in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf forms a good example here, where a horse race betting event, which is attended by several ministers accompanied by their wives and girlfriends is carefully discussed1. Nowadays personalization is a much-discussed phenomenon in the field of political communication. It can simply be seen as: ‘a process in which the political weight of the individual actor in the political process increases 1 Ererondje (17 juli 1984).
