  • Emi Nakamura Recipient of the 2014 Elaine Bennett Research Prize
    Emi Nakamura Recipient of the 2014 Elaine Bennett Research Prize EMI NAKAMURA, Associate Professor of Business and Economics at Columbia University, is the recipient of the 2014 Elaine Bennett Research Prize. Established in 1998 by the American Economic Association’s (AEA) Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP), the Elaine Bennett Research Prize recognizes and honors outstanding research in any field of economics by a woman not more than seven years beyond her Ph.D. Professor Nakamura will formally accept the Bennett Prize at the CSWEP Business Meeting and Luncheon held during the 2015 AEA Meeting in Boston, MA. The event is scheduled for 12:30-2:15PM on January 3, 2015 at the Sheraton Boston. Emi Nakamura’s distinctive approach tackles important research questions with serious and painstaking data work. Her groundbreaking paper “Five Facts about Prices: A Reevaluation of Menu Cost Models” (Steinsson, Jón and Emi Nakamura. 2008. Quarterly Journal of Economics, 123:4, 1415-1464) is based on extensive analysis of individual price data. She finds that, once temporary sales are properly taken into account, prices exhibit a high degree of rigidity consistent with Keynesian theories of business cycles and that prior evidence overstated the degree of price flexibility in the economy. Dr. Nakamura’s work on fiscal stimulus combines a novel cross-section approach to identifying parameters with a careful interpretation of business cycle theory to shed new light on crucial questions in macroeconomics. Her findings imply that government spending can provide a powerful stimulus to the economy at times when monetary policy is unresponsive, e.g.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Does the Classic Microfinance Model Discourage Entrepreneurship Among the Poor? Experimental Evidence from India†
    American Economic Review 2013, 103(6): 2196–2226 http://dx.doi.org/10.1257/aer.103.6.2196 Does the Classic Microfinance Model Discourage Entrepreneurship Among the Poor? Experimental Evidence from India† By Erica Field, Rohini Pande, John Papp, and Natalia Rigol* Do the repayment requirements of the classic microfinance contract inhibit investment in high-return but illiquid business opportunities among the poor? Using a field experiment, we compare the classic contract which requires that repayment begin immediately after loan disbursement to a contract that includes a two-month grace period. The provision of a grace period increased short-run business investment and long-run profits but also default rates. The results, thus, indicate that debt contracts that require early repayment discourage illiquid risky investment and thereby limit the potential impact of microfinance on microenterprise growth and household poverty. JEL A21, G32, I32, L25, L26, O15, O16 ( ) Lending to entrepreneurs is a risky proposition in the best of cases. In developing countries, where borrowers often do not have collateral to seize in the event of a default, this risk is even higher. Somehow microfinance, which has expanded rap- idly from its roots in Bangladesh in the late 1970s Daley-Harris 2006 , has struc- ( ) tured debt contracts so as to limit the risk of lending to poor entrepreneurs and for that reason is considered an important tool for helping the poor.1 Early initiation of repayment is widely considered an important means by which the classic “Grameen model” limits lending risk.2 Yet there is growing evidence that microfinance, despite its success in achieving high repayment rates, has had little impact on microenter- prise growth and poverty Banerjee et al.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Foxe's Constantine-FINAL3.Pages
    Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Magisterial” Revisions to Acts and Monuments’ Second Edition (1570) by Wesley Miles Goudy A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Wesley Miles Goudy 2018 Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Godly” Magisterial Revisions to Acts and Monuments Second Edition (1570) Wesley Miles Goudy Doctor of Theology Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This project explores a new vision of the Protestant magistrate as represented in the alterations which John Foxe made to his Ecclesiastical History, in Acts and Monuments’ second edition (1570), a highly influential and controversial work which has been credited with shaping the course of English historiography from the Reformation to the Victorian era. The work has also been read in abridged form under the title Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Foxe made incremental revisions to the work, which began as a 1554 Latin martyrology and ended in a fourth 1583 revision to this English-language ecclesiastical history, still known by the title Acts and Monuments. Yet relatively little scholarship has been devoted to explicating the nature and motivation for Foxe’s revisions, beyond his effort to provide literary and historical support for the English Reformation in the face of Roman Catholic opposition. The most significant revisions appear between the first and second editions of Acts and ii Monuments (1563, 1570), resulting in a textual expansion of some 500 pages.

  • Report on the Inquiry Into the Implications of Removing Refundable Franking Credits
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Report on the inquiry into the implications of removing refundable franking credits House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics April 2019 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2019 ISBN 978-1-76092-005-0 (Printed version) ISBN 978-1-76092-006-7 (HTML version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Foreword On 19 September 2018, the Treasurer, the Hon Josh Frydenberg, MP, referred to the committee an inquiry into the removal of refundable franking credits. The Treasurer asked the committee to inquire into and report on the implications of removing refundable franking credits and, in particular, the stress and complexity it will cause for Australians, including older Australians who will be impacted in their retirement. The public response to the inquiry has been extraordinary. The committee held a series of 19 public hearings across the country to allow Australians to have their say in light of a policy proposed to be introduced on 1 July 2019. These hearings were very well attended – often exceeding 300 people. A total of 1777 submissions were published and many more documents were received that could not be published by the time the committee reported. While the participation in the inquiry was high, worryingly the evidence suggests that many people at risk of being impacted from a policy change are unaware of the proposal that could result in them losing a third of their income.
