  • Analysis of the Cyprus Referendum on the Annan Plan* Theodore Chadjipadelis and Ioannis Andreadis† Department of Political Sciences Aristotle University Thessaloniki
    Analysis of the Cyprus referendum on the Annan plan* Theodore Chadjipadelis and Ioannis Andreadis† Department of Political Sciences Aristotle University Thessaloniki Abstract One of the most important worldwide political issues in 2004 has emerged at 24 April 2004. Cypriots have expressed their opinion about the well-known Annan plan on the reunification of Cyprus in two simultaneous referenda. In this paper we analyse how the Greek Cypriots voted in the referendum. Firstly, we present the Cypriots' attitudes towards the Annan plan and the general political scene. For many Greek Cypriots the Annan plan had a lot of disadvantages and most of the Greek Cypriot political parties were against the plan. Some Greek Cypriot political leaders also influenced the Greek Cypriot vote by strongly opposing the plan. Our analysis shows that Greek Cypriots have not voted uniformly on the Annan Plan. Their vote is strongly depended on their political ideas and theses. For instance, more than 90% of the Cyprus President supporters voted against the Annan Plan. On the other hand, the percentage of the voters who supported other candidates for the 2003 presidential elections and were against the Annan plan is lower. Another important factor for the vote seems to be the voters’ geographical location. Spatial differences seem to be very important in Cyprus referendum. For instance, a comparison between Paphos and Famagusta Districts provides enough evidence for the importance of spatial factors. Spatial differences in the Cyprus referendum results are explored using ecological inference techniques. In less than two months time, after the referendum, Cypriots voted for their first time to elect six European Parliament members.

(Michael M Santiago/GettyImages/Getty Images) Just days before the eviction moratorium was set to expire, Albany passed emergency legislation to halt evictions until May 1, 2021. For the estimated 1.2 million New York families in rent arrears — many of whom are families with children — this news brought a momentary sigh of relief, but the paralyzing fear of eviction this spring shortly followed as New York still lacks any long-term plan to keep families safely housed. With hospitalizations and positivity rates continuing to spike and new unemployment claims being led at a dizzying pace, this temporary eviction ban is not a long-term solution, nor is waiting for the stars to align so we can return to “normal.” Consider this: When the 12.1% of New Yorkers collecting unemployment are able to return to a healthy job market, how many months of rental arrears will have piled up? And is repayment even possible? In 2018, 22% of New York City renters paid more than half of their household income in rent.

  • POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown
    STATEMENTS FROM NEWS ORGS EXCLUDED – POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown: “We’ve reached out to the White House, and rest assured that we plan to very vigorously assert and defend an independent media’s right to cover the institution of the Presidency. Selectively excluding news organizations from White House briefings is misguided and our expectation is that this action will not be repeated. We have one of the largest teams in Washington covering this White House—a major editorial and financial commitment on behalf of our audience. This commitment is an enduring one, and our coverage of the Trump Administration will of course continue without interruption.” --WASHPOST, Marty Baron: “It’s appalling that the White House would exclude news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los Angeles Times, and BuzzFeed from its publicly announced briefings. This is an undemocratic path that the administration is traveling. There is nothing to be gained from the White House restricting the public’s access to information. We are currently evaluating what our response will be if this sort of thing happens again." – Marty Baron, Washington Post. --NYT, Dean Baquet: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties. We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.” --BUZZFEED: “While we strongly object to the White House’s apparent attempt to punish news outlets whose coverage it does not like, we won’t let these latest antics distract us from continuing to cover this administration fairly and aggressively.” --CNN: “This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House.

  • Fintech and Consumer Decision-Making in the Information Age
    FinTech and Consumer Decision-Making in the Information Age Bruce Carlin∗ Arna Olafssony Michaela Pagelz November 2020 Abstract We exploit the release of a mobile application for a financial aggregation plat- form to analyze how Financial Technology (FinTech) adoption changes consumer financial decision making. Our sample consists of individuals that had been using the platform via a desktop computer long before the mobile app was released. The app reduced the cost of accessing personal financial information, and this was re- sponsible for a significant drop in the use of expensive consumer credit and late payment fees. The leading explanation for our results appears to be mistake avoid- ance, which is supported by a significant reduction in non-sufficient funds (NSF) charges after the app was released.

During his two-day visit in Ireland earlier this week, Vice President Pence stayed at the Trump International Hotel in Doonbeg and "[flew] the hour-or-so into Dublin [on the other side of Ireland] for official meetings," rather than staying at a hotel in Dublin a short drive away.2 The Vice President's chief of staff indicated that the President encouraged the Vice President to stay at his hotel, telling him, "[Y]ou should stay at my place."3 The Vice President's decision to trek across country is "clearly not convenient.

Hoyt Purvis University of Arkansas Anonymous sources have been important factors in some of the major news stories of our time. But does this reliance on unnamed sources to too far? The use and possible abuse of anonymous sources is a matter of continuing controversy in the media and can have a direct bearing on the credibility of the media. Questions related to the use of such sources are examined in a study of the use of anonymous sources in 14 daily editions of three daily newspapers, focusing on the quantity of articles using anonymous sources, their subject matter, location, and rationale for using unnamed sources. This is done within the context of the ongoing controversy about the reliance on such sources in major news organizations. Results of this study are reported and analyzed and provide some clear indications about the extent and nature of the use of anonymous sources, and point to a possible over-dependence and problematic trend.
