This paper attempts to examine the link between nominal devaluation and real devaluation with special reference to the Philippines.
In doing so, we have used log linear relationship between the variables and have employed some sophisticated tests such as
Ng–Perron unit root test, autoregressive distributive lag model, and dynamic ordinary least squares test for the long run
correlation. The findings of the study with the Philippino quarterly data suggest that not only in the long run, but also
in the short run, nominal devaluation leads to real devaluation.

This study analyses the relationships between export, import and economic growth for the 13 transition economies. Empirical
results show that there is a unidirectional causality from economic growth to export. Empirical findings show that the growth-led
export hypothesis is valid in those countries and growth is rather shaped by increase in import demand.

This study reports a meta-analysis of 75 estimates of the efficiency-wage effect. It reveals a strong efficiency-wage effect
that depends upon whether researchers control for potential simultaneity between wages and productivity. Studies that control
for simultaneity tend to report stronger effects. Clear evidence of publication selection is also found. E24, J30.

This paper describes a prototype for the treatment of intimate relationships that takes into account how to evaluate attachment
styles in the couple relationship and in psychotherapy, and how to integrate this understanding into clinical practice. It
is important for the couple’s therapist to understand attachment, its neurobiological underpinnings, and its origins in early
development. Secure attachment in an adult relationship may be challenged if one or both partners have experienced disruption
of a primary attachment relationship. The goal of successful treatment is to restore the normative growth of intimacy, empathy,
understanding, healthy dependency, and connection.

Using data from 9,674 individuals in three waves of the Health and Retirement Study, we used three latent-class transition
models to predict the probabilities of monetary transfers that study participants made to adult children and received from
their adult children over a 6-year period of time, from 1998 to 2002. Generally, we found a high degree of stability in over
time transition patterns. Whereas time invariant predictor variables (i.e., age, race, and gender) were related to the probabilities
of transfers in Wave 1 of the study, these variables were not predictive of over time changes. Only changes in marital status
were consistently related to intergenerational exchanges of monetary resources over time.

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher
unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations
on the same individual provide scant evidence of declining reservation wages.

As clinical social work developed in America it was highly influenced by the concepts and techniques of psychoanalysis and
many of its practitioners became interested in seeking psychoanalytic training. More and more psychoanalysts are now coming
from a background in clinical social work due to the development of a network of interdisciplinary training institutes and
the opening of the Institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association to non-medical candidates. This special issue considers
how psychoanalysis may be affected as more of its practitioners and contributors come from a background in clinical social
work. This introduction reviews the history of the development of clinical social work and outlines the issues related to
“lay analysis” in this country.

Black Gold and Blue Gold: The Importance of Energy in the New Power Policy of the Russian Federation
Edoardo Lelli 《Transition Studies Review》2009,15(4):746-758
After having been forced to face a decade of economic and political difficulties, the Russian Federation is regaining a position
of prestige on the international stage thanks to an astute utilization of its huge reserves of oil and natural gas. With the
coming to power of Vladimir Putin—and in particular from 2004—the State has changed its policy in the energy field, aiming
to come back to exert a strict control over the main companies and assets. One of the most significant consequences of this
change has been the outbreak of disputes with Ukraine and Belarus about the selling price of gas, which caused fears among
the entire Europe about the reliability of Russia as a supplier of that resource. Moreover, the quarrels forced many Western
analysts to condemn the way Moscow is acting to try and become an “energy superpower”.

This study makes two contributions to the study of family and economic issues. First, it investigates the effects of consumer-market
shortage on fertility. Second, it considers the effects on fertility of eliminating consumer-market shortage using a survey
of families from the Former Soviet Union. The estimated model of fertility showed that consumer goods shortage and fertility
were positively related. The elimination of consumer goods shortage would, therefore, be expected to lower aggregate number
of children in the transition (post-Soviet) economies.

The paper proposes to discuss the issue of civicness in the governance of social services by analyzing policy changes relative
to the regulation and governance of social services in Europe. The empirical analysis is structured around the concept of
“governance regime.” The paper shows that modernization processes within the field of social services in Europe develop along
two radically different regulative conceptions reflected into two different governance regimes: market-based or competitive
governance vs civic-based or partnership governance. The governance of social services in Europe appears to take place within
a mix between two ideal-typical governance regimes: the market-based and partnership-based governance regimes.

The spontaneous process of immigration of Diaspora Armenians to Armenia started in 1990s. The absence of a relevant policy
in the Diaspora and in the Republic of Armenia made the social cost of relocation for many immigrants rather high. New contacts
turned into a psychological, social and cultural ordeal for both the relocated and local residents. The group isolation within
parts of one unit as a problem has a tendency to grow. Research uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand
the challenges of immigrants in the Armenian reality, to identify policy and ideology gaps to overcome those challenges. The
conclusions of the research can help policy-makers and interested/relevant organizations in Armenia and the Diaspora in the
development of policies to regulate the spontaneous and ineffective processes in and out of the country, and direct all Armenians
forces to country democratisation processes.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

The establishment of eye contact between a musician and his or her listeners, and its influence on musical perception, has
been neglected by musical performance research. Two experiments were conducted to verify the hypothesis that increased eye
contact between musician and audience leads the latter to better appreciate the music performed by the former. In the first
experiment a musician played and sang three pieces, whereas in the second study he played without vocal support. The results
of both experiments showed that directing the musicians’ gaze toward the audience enhanced the qualities of the musical experience.

This paper extends the program evaluation literature by investigating intra-household externalities generated by a reproductive
health program, administered as a quasi-control experiment in rural Bangladesh. Although the program targeted only mothers
and children in randomly selected treatment areas, using a reduced form demand approach and data from Matlab Health and Socio-economic
Survey of 1996, we found a significantly positive spillover impact of this reproductive health program on the health of the
never-targeted elderly women.

Do Work Demands and Resources Predict Work-to-Family Conflict and Facilitation? A Study of Iranian Male Employees 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
This study examined the effects of some work demands-resources on two dimensions of work-to-family interface among Iranian
employees. The results of canonical correlation and multiple-regression showed that among work resources (i.e., social support
and autonomy), social support was associated negatively with work-to-family conflict and autonomy was associated positively
with work-to-family facilitation. Also, among work demands (i.e., job demands and working hours), job demands were associated
with both work-to-family conflict and work-to-family facilitation. Unlike previous studies, working hours shows a positive
association with work-to-family facilitation, which may be explained by the specific cultural context in Iran. The findings
of the study will be of importance to employees and organizations.

Theory suggests that individual performance pay increases effort but may reduce the incentive to help co-workers. In an original
survey of finance industry employees subject to individual performance pay, we demonstrate that those workers who report they
do not help co-workers earn significantly more. This result is particularly strong for those workers with the strongest individual
performance pay incentives. Moreover, when those workers report that their coworkers help them, they also earn significantly
more. These dual results are consistent with a strong incentive to free-ride on the helping effort of others in the face of
individual performance pay.

The role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the United Nations (UN), as well as in world politics in general, is
increasingly gaining the attention of scholars of international law, political science and social anthropology. Using extensive
earlier research on NGO-UN relations and on the concept of global governance, it is concluded that although NGOs are becoming
increasingly influential actors on the international arena, several problems impede their influence from growing within the
UN. Once the inefficiencies of NGOs participation in United Nations’ bodies and institutions have been described, we propose
some modalities of reform of this Organization, with the purpose of improving the involvement of world civil society in UN
decision-making processes, and increasing its democratic profile. Finally, the study suggests several areas that require future
research and more in-depth study in order to make predictions about how NGO-UN relations will evolve in the coming decades.

This exploratory study focuses on classifying attitudes toward institutional features of Individual Development Accounts (IDAs).
The study also examines the extent to which attitudes change and how they are associated with saving in IDAs. While attitudes
toward IDAs were generally positive, latent class analysis (LCA) found three groups at Wave 3: highly
positive, moderately positive, and mixed opinion. The study found dynamic changes in attitudes at 18 months and 48 months after the baseline interview. While 63% of participants
showed no changes in attitudes, 22% changed their attitudes negatively and 15% positively. Participants with highly positive
attitudes at both 18 months and 48 months had significantly more savings than participants without highly positive attitudes,
suggesting that attitudes may influence saving outcomes in IDAs.

Qualitative research has investigated distinct couple types that divide work and family responsibilities based on employment
circumstances and relationship characteristics, but such research is not conducive to identifying frequencies of couple types
or statistically comparing work-family circumstances across couple types. The current study incorporated both employment and
family variables in identifying four distinct dual-earner couple types among respondents from the National Survey of the Changing
Workforce. Couple types were compared regarding demographic information, and memberships in couple types were predicted based
on this information. Some significant differences emerged that may begin to explain the circumstances and motivations behind
selecting certain work-family arrangements, though the more peer-like couples were less distinct and in some ways less economically advantaged than expected.

This paper concerns the author’s countertransference reflections on her work with a gay adolescent who identifies with powerfully
destructive internal objects, including Hitler and the Monster. The author describes her countertransference inquiry through
which she experiences her own potential destructiveness in order to help accommodate her adolescent patient’s rejected and
disowned self states.
