The Command of Space
This paper develops a compelling case for a national space vision to advance the American vital interests of prosperity and security. The first half of paper focuses on laying the background for the vision that follows in the second half. In the title, prosperity is listed before security since it is the reason for exploration and eventually requires protection.The paper begins with the premise that space is becoming an information center of gravity that is increasingly important to the commercial sector as well as the military. However, a major stumbling block in this transition is the lack of the means to protect orbit space systems. Without this capability, true command of space is not possible. The paper then transitions to a discourse on the current dependence on space in America. Next, the quest for wealth and information by the European powers in the second millennium is discussed. Each of these examples demonstrates a recurring cycle in their quest: knowledge, exploitation, investment, consumption and protection. This same cycle is seen in the early days of space where the focus was almost exclusively on knowledge and exploration. Several who possessed a vision to advance space were Jules Verne, Wernher von Braun and Arthur C. Clark. From the early days of space, the transition is made to reviewing a current space system, Global Positioning System, as an example of the promise of space and the current focus on investment and consumption. To make the case for protecting space assets, the role of the U.S. Navy in protecting maritime commerce is examined as well as the current threat to the space sector. The vision for space focuses on the near-term and primarily on the Air Force.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
Recent evidence on the effect of government spending shocks on consumption cannot be easily reconciled with existing optimizing business cycle models. We extend the standard New Keynesian model to allow for the presence of rule-of-thumb (non-Ricardian) consumers. We show how the interaction of the latter with sticky prices and deficit financing can account for the existing evidence on the effects of government spending.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Dynamic Modeling of the Economic Impacts of a Terrorist Attack Using a Radiological Dispersion Device
The purpose of this research is to model the dynamic economic influences associated with an attack using a radiological dispersion device (RDD). Specifically, this thesis seeks to identify the variables associated with the total economic impact to the local community where the attack occurs and gain better insights into how local, state and federal entities can employ various policy decisions to bring the system under control within the first year of recovery. Of primary interest to the research is the problematic behavior of exponential economic impact and how the final accumulation of fiscal cost can be reduced. Using a system dynamics research method and the dynamic modeling software STELLA, considerations such as controlling the media's influence on public fear, consumer confidence, community resilience, and community recovery are incorporated with fiscal impact stocks such as business losses, tax revenue losses, and response costs. Once combined, the model uses historical examples of responses and recommendations from the latest EPA guidance to examine the effect on the impacted community's recovery and total fiscal impact.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.

Building a Consensus Forecast for Crude Oil Prices
Skyrocketing fuel prices have stressed the Department of Defense's budget in recent years. In 2001 the DoD spent $4.7 Billion on fuel with the Air Force consuming $ 2.7 Billion (GAO, 2001). These figures have grown over due to these increases as well as the increased flying ours to support the Global War On Terror. In fact, the Fiscal Year 2007 budget has already been increased by $1.1 billion, or 1% of the total budget, to accommodate the increased price of fuel (SAF/FMB, 2006). Current forecasts of this resource have yielded poor results, impairing the DoD's ability to budget this critical expense. Further because the forecast are poor, strategic hedging strategies cannot be effectively employed. Because fuel is a significant portion of aircraft operations and maintenance cost it should be considered in the acquisition of new systems, but the current forecast have not provided the accurate data required. Current forecast available to the DOD were examined, and compared to two econometric structural forecast models. The performance of these structural models was then compared to the benchmark forecasts for energy provided by the Energy Information Agency. A consensus price forecast was constructed from these alternative forecasts.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Finance and Economics Discussion Series
In this paper, we propose an econometric model of the joint dynamic relationship between the yield curve and the economy to predict business cycles. We examine the predictive value of the yield curve to forecast future economic growth as well as the beginning and end of economic recessions at the monthly frequency. The proposed nonlinear multivariate dynamic factor model takes into account not only the popular term spread but also information extracted from the level and curvature of the yield curve and from macroeconomic variables. The nonlinear model is used to investigate the interrelationship between the phases of the bond market and of the business cycle. The results indicate a strong interrelation between these two sectors. The proposed factor model of the yield curve exhibits substantial incremental predictive value compared to several alternative specifications. This result holds in-sample and out-of-sample, using revised or real time unrevised data.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.

Goodbye Globalization
GOLD MEDALLIST IN THE 2024 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS A bold new account of the state of globalization today--and what its collapse might mean for the world economy After the Cold War, globalization accelerated at breakneck speed. Manufacturing, transport, and consumption defied national borders, companies made more money, and consumers had access to an ever-increasing range of goods. But in recent years, a profound shift has begun to take place. Business executives and politicians alike are realising that globalization is no longer working. Supply chains are imperilled, Russia has been expelled from the global economy after its invasion of Ukraine, and China is using these fissures to leverage a strategic advantage. Given these pressures, what will the future of our world economy look like? In this groundbreaking account, Elisabeth Braw explores the collapse of globalization and the profound challenges it will bring to the West. Drawing on interviews with prominent executives and policymakers from around the world, Braw poses the difficult questions all businesses and economies will face--and traces the intricate story of globalization from the exuberant '90s to the embattled present.
Decisionmaker's Guide to Recycling Plastics
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Ideology of Ideologies
Why is the U.S. leadership role now under threat?Was it possible to avoid this situation?Why, despite narrowing the gap, was the USSR unable to surpass the United States?Why is China now catching up with the U.S.?How did the global economic system, currently led by the U.S., come into being?What caused previous global leaders to lose their positions and be replaced by new ones?What are the prospects for the U.S. to maintain or lose its leading position?Which is more effective: private or state-owned enterprises?Is state regulation or a free market more beneficial?Which ideology ultimately prevails?The answer lies in the cyclical nature of the correspondence of ideologies to reality. The optimal ideology for a country depends on its position within the global economic hierarchy. This concept can be called the "Ideology of Ideologies".
The Theory of the Leisure Class
The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen, is a treatise of economics and sociology, and a critique of conspicuous consumption as a function of social class and of consumerism. In this book, Veblen explores the concept of conspicuous consumption and critiques the socio-economic structure of late 19th-century America. Veblen argues that in this society, the upper classes engage in wasteful and often irrational spending on luxury goods and services as a means of displaying their social status and wealth. Veblen further delves into the idea of 'conspicuous leisure, ' where the upper class engages in non-productive activities, such as leisurely pursuits and ostentatious displays of idleness, to signal their social standing. The Theory of the Leisure Class is a critical analysis of the emerging consumer culture and materialism in late 19th-century America, and it remains influential in the fields of sociology, economics, and cultural studies.

Best Laid Plans
The first in-depth account of the economic reform program of Myanmar's ill-fated Aung San Suu Kyi government, by one of her key advisors. Best Laid Plans is a unique first-hand account of the radical economic reforms implemented in Myanmar under the ill-fated civilian government of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. These reforms, designed both to turn around Myanmar's dire economy and lay the economic foundations for democracy, were brought to a dramatic end following the military coup in Myanmar in February 2021. Written by one of Suu Kyi's key economic advisors who was imprisoned alongside her in the wake of the coup, Best Laid Plans explores the nature of the reforms, the resistance they inspired, and the events that brought this all-too brief era of change to its catastrophic conclusion.

Dynamic Programming
Dynamic programming (DP) is a sub-field of optimization concerned with sequential decision making over time. The essential ideas of DP have been adopted in many applications, from robotics and AI to the sequencing of DNA. It is used around the world to control aircraft, route shipping, test products, recommend information on media platforms and solve major research problems. Dynamic Programming: Finite States treats the theory of dynamic programming and its applications in economics, finance, and operations research. It contains classical results on dynamic programming as well as extensions created by researchers and practitioners as they wrestle with formulating and solving dynamic models that can explain patterns observed in data. Adopting an abstract framework that provides great generality, this book facilitates rapid progress to the research frontier by combining rigorous theory with numerous applications, many solved exercises, and detailed open-source computer code.
Money in the Dutch Republic
The Dutch Republic was an important hub in the early modern world-economy, a place where hundreds of monies were used alongside each other. Sebastian Felten explores regional, European and global circuits of exchange by analysing everyday practices in Dutch cities and villages in the period 1600-1850. He reveals how for peasants and craftsmen, stewards and churchmen, merchants and metallurgists, money was an everyday social technology that helped them to carve out a livelihood. With vivid examples of accounting and assaying practices, Felten offers a key to understanding the internal logic of early modern money. This book uses new archival evidence and an approach informed by the history of technology to show how plural currencies gave early modern users considerable agency. It explores how the move to uniform national currency limited this agency in the nineteenth century and thus helps us make sense of the new plurality of payments systems today.

Money, Warfare and Power in the Ancient World
Money, Warfare and Power in the Ancient World offers twelve papers analysing the processes, consequences and problems involved in the monetization of warfare and its connection to political power in antiquity. The contributions explore not only how powerful men and states used money and coinage to achieve their aims, but how these aims and methods had often already been shaped by the medium of coined money - typically with unintended consequences. These complex relationships between money, warfare and political power - both personal and collective - are explored across different cultures and socio-political systems around the ancient Mediterranean, ranging from Pharaonic Egypt to Late Antique Europe. This volume is also a tribute to the life and impact of Professor Matthew Trundle, an inspiring teacher and scholar, who was devoted to promoting the discipline of Classics in New Zealand and beyond. At the time of his death, he was writing a book on the wider importance of money in the Greek world. A central piece of this research is incorporated into this volume, completed by one of his former students, Christopher De Lisle. Additionally, Trundle had situated himself at the centre of a wide-ranging conversation on the nature of money and power in antiquity. The contributions of scholars of ancient monetization in this volume bring together many of the threads of those conversions, further advancing a field which Matthew Trundle had worked so tirelessly to promote.

Carbon Taxes
State and local governments in the United States are evaluating a wide range of policies to reduce carbon emissions, including, in some instances, carbon taxes, which have existed internationally for nearly 20 years. This report reviews existing carbon tax policies both internationally and in the United States. It also analyzes carbon policy design and effectiveness. Design considerations include which sectors to tax, where to set the tax rate, how to use tax revenues, what the impact will be on consumers, and how to ensure emissions reduction goals are achieved. Emission reductions that are due to carbon taxes can be difficult to measure, though some jurisdictions have quantified reductions in overall emissions and other jurisdictions have examined impacts that are due to programs funded by carbon tax revenues.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
