This volume presents the most robust and useful methodology for the measurement of the economic effects of public investments.

In particular, it comprehensively solves (1) leakage and duplication of economic effects calculated; and (2) arbitrariness of the public investment choice set. The methodology adopts the general and dynamic simulation approach and...

Dark Money, Super Pacs, and the 2012 Election
ISBN: 9781498532150 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than two billion dollars. That's how much money was spent in the 2012 presidential campaign--the most expensive campaign in history. Each party raised and spent more than one billion dollars as the traditional boundaries of campaign financing were ignored. Both parties could do so because they were playing in a game with new rules--rules that largely developed after the 2010 Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United. That case removed many restrictions on donation limits, particularly for corporations and unions. The result was the development of a new set of political players called...

The central premise of most of these programs was that the functioning of such associations could rely on the revival of traditional forms of social capital-social networks, norms, and trust-for their success. Social Capital and Local Water Management in Egypt shows how the...
