Finance and Economics Discussion Series
The news media affects consumers' perceptions of the economy through three channels. First, the news media conveys the latest economic data and the opinions of professionals to consumers. Second, consumers receive a signal about the economy through the tone and volume of economic reporting. Last, the greater the volume of news about the economy, the greater the likelihood that consumers will update their expectations about the economy. We find evidence that all three of these channels affect consumer sentiment. We derive measures of the tone and volume of economic reporting, building upon the R-word index of The Economist. We find that there are periods when reporting on the economy has not been consistent with actual economic events, especially during the early 1990s. As a consequence, there are times during which consumer sentiment is driven away from what economic fundamentals would suggest. We also find evidence supporting that consumers update their expectations about the economy much more frequently during periods of high news coverage than in periods of low news coverage; high news coverage of the economy is concentrated during recessions and immediately after recessions, implying that "stickiness" in expectations is countercyclical. Finally, because the model of consumer sentiment is highly nonlinear, month-to-month changes in sentiment are difficult to interpret. For instance, although an increase in the number of articles that mention "recession" typically is associated with a decline in sentiment, under certain conditions it can actually result in an increase in various sentiment indexes.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

International Finance Discussion Papers
We build a dataset of quarterly hours worked for 14 OECD countries. We document that hours are as volatile as output, that a large fraction of labor adjustment takes place along the intensive margin, and that the volatility of hours relative to output has increased over time. We use these data to reassess the Great Recession and prior recessions. The Great Recession in many countries is a puzzle in that labor wedges are small, while those in the U.S. Great Recession - and those in previous European recessions - are much larger.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Open Access Publishing and Citation Archives
Controversies about open access publishing and archiving confront issues of copyright and governmental competition with the private sector. Traditional publishers typically charge readers subscriber fees to fund the costs of publishing and distributing hard-copy and/or online journals. In contrast, most open access systems charge authors publication fees and give readers free online access to the full text of articles. Supporters of the open access "movement" object to the rising costs of journal subscriptions; share peer reviewers' reluctance to do free reviews for journals rapidly escalating in price; and believe that scientific collaboration, advancement, and utilization will be hastened by free access to information. Traditional subscriber-pays commercial publishers and some scholarly associations object to most open access publishing because it may weaken the publishing industry and erode profits. Critics seek to limit free government-run repositories only to articles and citations from federally sponsored research; others oppose fees in the thousands of dollars charged to authors to pay the costs of publishing articles or view as unreliable foundation donations that sustain some open access activities.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Pillar of (In)Stability
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) posted an annual gross domestic product (GDP) of $349 billion, with a trade surplus of $123 billion in 2006, and had come to represent royal wealth and opulence. This economic power enables KSA to maintain close diplomatic and commercial ties with the world's leading nations and multinational corporations. Clearly, the strength of the Saudi Arabian economy is the driving force behind its prominence on the global stage, and its ability to maintain internal order among the citizenry. The importance of a stable, healthy economy as a critical pillar of Saudi stability becomes even more apparent when one considers the cultural and religious tensions which pervade its society. This essay presents a plausible future for the economy of Saudi Arabia - one in which this necessary pillar of stability degrades, or even crumbles, and opens the door to a viable insurgency movement within the Kingdom in the year 2030. The case for this plausible future emerges from current economic trends and conditions in Saudi Arabia. Oil reserves and profits are the main source of revenues for the government of KSA. The reliance on this single source of income, along with labor market inadequacies, presents significant obstacles to long-term fiscal fitness. The royal family has recognized these challenges and introduced corrective measures, mostly in the form of attempts to diversify the economy, and to a lesser degree by encouraging privatization and foreign investment. These initiatives are laudable, but cultural dynamics and the intricacies of economic reform make them fall well-short of guaranteeing healthy, long-term economic growth. Ultimately, two key factors-the inability to diversify adequately from the oil-based economy, and the failure to create sufficient employment opportunities for Saudi citizens-show strong potential for creating the instability necessary to foment insurgency within the Kingdom.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Using Input-Output Analysis to Measure U.S. Economic Structural Change Over a 24 Year Period
Many studies have been prepared on structural change in the U.S. economy using input-output analysis. These include, among others, Carter's examination of U.S. economic technological change over the 1939-1963 period and, more recently, Sonis' new decomposition approaches to visually display structural change with application to U.S. input-output tables from 1947-1977./1/ This paper, using Sonis' techniques of displaying structural change, evaluates changes in the U.S. economy over the 1972 to 1996 period, focusing on interindustry linkages and the effect of international trade on those linkages. The study shows that the relative impact of manufacturing on the economy has declined in the United States from 1972 to 1996 and that import penetration has been a major factor in this decline. The graphical presentation of interindustry relationships through the "Multiplier Product Matrix" (MPM) and its associated "economic landscape" provides a visualization of the U.S. economic structure for selected years and how it has changed over time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Agribusiness Development Teams in Afghanistan
Agriculture accounts for 45 percent of Afghanistan's gross domestic product and is the main source of income for the Afghan economy. Over 80 percent of the Afghan population is involved in farming, herding, or both. However, decades of war, drought, and security challenges have devastated the country's agricultural sector, and the current level of U.S. government civilian support has been unable to keep pace with the tremendous need for assistance in this region. Revitalizing Afghanistan's agricultural sector is critical to building the government's capacity and to stabilizing the country. In 2007 the Secretary of the Army, Pete Geren; Director of the Army National Guard, Lieutenant General Clyde Vaughn; Missouri Farm Bureau President, Charles Kruse; and the Adjutant General of the Missouri National Guard, Major General King Sidwell developed an idea to deploy Soldiers with agricultural expertise and organic security capabilities to Afghanistan. They realized the development of Afghanistan's agriculture and agricultural products distribution capabilities was vital to long-term economic development and that governmental civilians (United States, Afghanistan, and other countries) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) were not resourced for the massive amount of work necessary in these areas as well as for the security they required.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Cost Effectiveness Approach to B-1B Consumable and Reparable Procurement Strategies
The use of a cost effectiveness methodology to evaluate inventory procurement strategies can provide added insight into the best possible use of limited financial resources. This research utilized a cost effectiveness approach to evaluate the procurement of B-1B bomber spare parts used for base-level maintenance operations. Average number of backorders and average MICAP hours data for 32 Federal Supply Class (FSC) categories were drawn from an Arena simulation model based on historical supply and maintenance data from Ellsworth Air Force Base, along with corresponding cost data from the Air Force Total Ownership Cost database. With this data, the cost per average MICAP hour for each FSC were analyzed to gain insight into which FSCs are most likely to positively influence MICAP hour reductions in a cost effective manner. This exploration highlighted the benefits of targeting FSCs with a low procurement cost to cost per MICAP hour ratio to capitalize on the efficient use of appropriated funding and the subsequent effect on MICAP hour reductions.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Multiple Model Adaptive Estimation for Time Series Analysis
Multiple Model Adaptive Estimation (MMAE) is a Bayesian technique that applies a bank of Kalman filters to predict future observations. Each Kalman filter is based on a different set of parameters and hence produces different residuals. The likelihood of each Kalman filter's prediction is determined by a magnitude of the residuals. Since some researchers have obtained good forecasts using a single Kalman filter, we tested MMAE's ability to make time series predictions. Our Kalman filters have a dynamics model based on a Box-Jenkins Auto-Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) model and a measure model with additive noise. The time-series prediction is based on the probabilistic weighted Kalman filter predictions. We make a probability interval about that estimate also based on the filter probabilities. In a Monte Carlo analysis, we test this MMAE approach and report the results based on many different criteria. Our analysis tests the robustness of the approach by testing its ability to make predictions when the Kalman filter dynamics models did not match the data generation time-series model. Our analysis indicates benefits in applying multiple model adaptive estimation for time series analysis.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Estimating Budget Relationships With a Leontief Input-Output Model
Forty years ago, the Office of the Secretary of Defense proposed using the Leontief input-output model to assess tradeoffs in the Department of Defense's (DoD) budget. We demonstrate that the Leontief input-output model can assess tradeoffs in the Air Force's budget. To increase one part of the Air Force's budget, we need to know the interrelationships between that budget area and the other areas. In this research, we look at different methods of how the functional areas might interact. We demonstrate our methodology on two data sets - DoD and the Air Force aggregate budget data. By looking at how the functional areas interact, we hope to be able to find a sound methodology that will provide assistance to Air Force leadership for determining appropriate levels of funding.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dangerous Tides
The dangers and risks lurking in the deep waters of the world, be they profane and natural (storms, currents, shoals, cliffs, pirates) or divine and supernatural (the wrath of one or more gods, magic, sea monsters) are as individual and diverse as the stories of their consequences - and as numerous as the intentions behind these retellings and reconfigurations. In their telling, specific dangers become accepted risks that those who undertake the venture of a sea voyage choose (or not) to expose themselves to. Maritime actors make their assessments of the balance between risk and benefit according to historical and contemporary cultural criteria, which are contingent on the discursive horizon of their time, as reflected in iconographic and textual sources. Building on sociological and historical understandings of "risk" as conscious exposure to specific dangers, the case studies in this volume engage with conceptions and discourses of maritime risks in written and visual media from antiquity to the early modern world, with contributions ranging from early Greek epic to British Atlantic merchants in the 1700s. This broad perspective enables a multifaceted study of representations of maritime dangers in words, images, and numbers, and to discuss contemporary discourses on causes, consequences, and methods for avoidance of maritime risk.

Cause, Effect, and Everything in Between
A practical guide to understanding the science of cause-and-effect for everyday decision-making. In Cause, Effect, and Everything in Between, Aboozar Hadavand provides an easy-to-read and non-technical foundation to causal inference, especially for readers without a strong background in math and statistics. Rather than using statistical equations and mathematical theory, Hadavand focuses on developing readers' ability to analyze causal questions through a causal perspective. Using relatable examples, including the myth of the Swimmer's Body Illusion, the relationship between sleep apnea and growing a beard, and the relationship between smoking and dementia, Hadavand simplifies complex causal ideas. The book starts by defining the fundamental concepts of causality, such as causal questions, causes, and effects. It then explores different types of causal inference problems, graphical tools for expressing causality, the shortcomings of randomized trials, and methods for inferring causality from observational data. Further, Hadavand debunks common misconceptions and teaches readers to differentiate between correlation and causation at a deep level by simplifying the concept of confounding bias and causal graphs. A concise and accessible introduction to causal inference that also includes end-of-chapter case studies with answers, this book equips readers to understand and critique scientific findings involving causal claims.
