Cultural and heritage tourism shows tremendous potential in developing countries and regions where traditional economic activities are no longer sustainable. Sharing and preserving cultural heritage in tourism is challenging while advocating economic benefits. An integrated approach to examine sustainability, tourism, cultural heritage and economic wellbeing is overseen. Theorizing above concepts in postwar context indicates laps in academic literature. This paper examines the cultural and heritage tourism development potentials and their sustainability issues in postwar development in Jaffna. The study argues that comprehensive analysis of cultural resources and their potential in ongoing development, drawing plans and institutionalizing the cultural and heritage tourism initiatives, enlightening authorities on cultural and heritage tourism and sustainable community development, stakeholder empowerment and fully engaging all development agencies in a single mission in postwar areas are prerequisites for sustainability of ongoing isolated activities. The empowerment of community and other key stakeholders of the cultural heritage is the key to address long-term sustainability.
Cultural和遗产旅游在传统经济活动不再可持续的发展中国家和地区显示出巨大的潜力。在倡导经济效益的同时,在旅游业中分享和保护文化遗产具有挑战性。一个综合的方法来检查可持续发展,旅游,文化遗产和经济福利的监督。在战后语境中对上述概念进行理论化,是学术文献的失误。本文探讨了贾夫纳战后发展中文化遗产旅游的发展潜力及其可持续性问题。该研究认为,全面分析文化资源及其在持续发展中的潜力,制定计划并使文化和遗产旅游倡议制度化,启发文化和遗产旅游和可持续社区发展的当局,赋予利益相关者权力,并使所有发展机构充分参与战后地区的单一任务,是正在进行的孤立活动可持续性的先决条件。赋予文化遗产的社区和其他主要利益相关者权力是解决长期可持续性问题的关键。

This paper uses bicycles as a case study to illustrate how the needs of the bottom of the pyramid can be met through innovative financing of income generating assets. The organization, Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP) works with smallholder farmers that have sporadic incomes. Through a hybridized model of micro-credit and subsidization, BAP is able to make bicycles accessible to those that would otherwise not be able to afford them.

$1.90 Per Day: What Does it Say? 每天1.90美元:这说明了什么?
Pub Date : 2015-10-27 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2685096
S. Reddy, Rahul Lahoti
The World Bank’s global poverty estimates suffer from deep-seated problems arising from a single source, the lack of a standard for identifying who is poor and who is not that is consistent and meaningful. The new choice of an international poverty line of $1.90 (2011 PPP) does not in any way resolve these problems. We present alternate estimates of global, regional and national poverty based on reasoning as to what the Bank’s own method, consistently applied, would entail. These show an increase in the absolute number of poor since 1980 or 1990 for certain choices of poverty line. However, we recommend an approach to income poverty assessment that is altogether different, focusing directly on identifying the real requirements of human beings to attain income-dependent human capabilities.
世界银行的全球贫困估计受到单一来源的深层次问题的影响,即缺乏一致和有意义的标准来确定谁是穷人,谁不是穷人。国际贫困线的新选择是1.90美元(2011年购买力平价),并不能以任何方式解决这些问题。我们对全球、区域和国家的贫困状况提出了不同的估计,其依据是对世行一贯采用的方法所需要的结果进行推理。这些数据表明,自1980年或1990年以来,就某些选择的贫困线而言,贫困人口的绝对数量有所增加。然而,我们建议采用一种完全不同的收入贫穷评估方法,直接侧重于确定人类实现依赖收入的能力的真正需要。

Investment Choice in Defined-Contribution Pension Schemes: International Experience and Policy Issues 养老金固定缴款计划的投资选择:国际经验与政策问题
Pub Date : 2014-11-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2520439
Eduardo Rodríguez-Montemayor
Populations around the world are becoming older and countries are increasingly adopting defined contribution (DC) pension schemes to ensure adequate and sustainable retirement incomes for people. Such schemes typically give people the ability to exert choice in a series of key decisions in the administration of their own retirement wealth. One of such decisions is how to allocate retirement assets across different investment options. This paper reviews how investment choice in DC pension schemes is regulated across different countries and also reviews actual country experiences in terms of individual active choice. The discussion of policy implications is supported by the current knowledge in the literature on behavioral economics and finance. How much freedom workers should have over the choice of a pension provider and the choice of investment portfolio is a key economic and policy question because academic literature shows that people’s behavior is often characterized by naive decisions, inertia and switching and searching costs. What the evidence tells us, in general, is that the proportion of people that actively choose how to invest their pension contributions is low. People’s money is often invested in default investment funds. Therefore, policy intervention is usually desirable, particularly in the design of an optimal default policy. Our discussion suggests that an optimal regulation approach would move the basis of competition from short-term returns to long-term returns. One strategy is to set performance objectives for pension funds for outperforming a long-term benchmark fund (or funds) regulated by the government. Such funds could operate with life-cycle principles.
世界各地的人口正在老龄化,各国越来越多地采用固定缴款(DC)养老金计划,以确保人们获得充足和可持续的退休收入。这类计划通常使人们能够在管理自己退休财富的一系列关键决策中做出选择。其中一个决定是如何在不同的投资选择中分配退休资产。本文回顾了各国如何监管固定缴款养老金计划的投资选择,并从个人主动选择的角度回顾了各国的实际经验。对政策影响的讨论得到了当前行为经济学和金融学文献知识的支持。工人在选择养老金提供者和投资组合方面应该有多大的自由是一个关键的经济和政策问题,因为学术文献表明,人们的行为往往以幼稚的决定、惰性、转换和搜索成本为特征。总的来说,证据告诉我们,积极选择如何投资养老金的人的比例很低。人们的钱经常投资于违约投资基金。因此,策略干预通常是可取的,特别是在设计最优默认策略时。我们的讨论表明,最优的监管方法将使竞争的基础从短期回报转向长期回报。一种策略是为养老基金设定业绩目标,使其表现优于政府监管的长期基准基金。这类基金可以按照生命周期原则运作。

Timing of Childhood Immigration and Children's Life Chances 儿童移民的时机和儿童的生活机会
Pub Date : 2014-10-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2518309
A. Hermansen
This article examines the relationship between the timing of childhood immigration and children’s life chances in adulthood. I analyze panel data on siblings from Norwegian administrative registries which enables me to disentangle the effect of age at arrival on adult socioeconomic outcomes from all fixed family-level conditions and endowments shared by siblings. Findings from sibling fixed-effects models reveal a progressively stronger adverse influence of immigration at later stages of childhood on children’s completed schooling, employment, adult earnings, occupational attainment, and social welfare assistance. The persistence of these relationships within families indicates that experiences related to the timing of childhood immigration have causal effects on later-life outcomes. The effect of age at arrival is heterogeneous across regions of origin. It is strong among childhood immigrants arriving from less-developed origin countries, but weak among children with background from developed countries. In sum, these findings indicate that the timing of childhood immigration after early-life formative periods can impose structural constraints on children’s human capital accumulation and labor market opportunities over the life course.
本文探讨了儿童移民时间与儿童成年后生活机会之间的关系。我分析了来自挪威行政登记处的兄弟姐妹的面板数据,这使我能够从所有固定的家庭水平条件和兄弟姐妹共有的禀赋中分离出年龄对成人社会经济结果的影响。兄弟姐妹固定效应模型的研究结果显示,儿童后期移民对儿童完成学业、就业、成年收入、职业成就和社会福利援助的不利影响逐渐增强。这些家庭关系的持续存在表明,与童年移民时间相关的经历对以后的生活结果有因果影响。到达时年龄的影响在不同的起源地区是不一样的。在来自欠发达原籍国的儿童移民中,这一比例较高,但在来自发达国家的儿童中,这一比例较低。总而言之,这些研究结果表明,儿童在生命早期形成期之后移民的时间可能对儿童一生中人力资本积累和劳动力市场机会构成结构性约束。

Knowing Communities and the Innovative Capacity of Cities 了解社区和城市的创新能力
Pub Date : 2013-12-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2384680
Ignasi Capdevila
The buzz-and-pipeline model (Maskell et al. 2006; Bathelt et al. 2004) claims that clusters of economic activity need both a rich “local buzz” and the creation of “global pipelines” with external actors to increase their innovative capacity. While co-location is sufficient to profit from the “buzz”, “pipelines” require a high investment in their construction and nurturing. This paper complements this model by emphasizing the role that actors outside firms, especially communities, play in facilitating both the local and the global knowledge dynamics in cities. The knowledge transfer between distant similar communities is facilitated by the cognitive proximity that bonds members of knowing communities and that appears more determinant than geographic proximity. This community-based model is empirically illustrated by a three-case study on different knowing communities in Barcelona (fabbers, coworkers and makers). The paper concludes that by fostering the development and nurturing of such communities, policy makers might contribute to increase the innovative capacity of urban agglomerations.
蜂鸣声和管道模型(Maskell et al. 2006;Bathelt et al. 2004)声称,经济活动集群既需要丰富的“本地嗡嗡声”,也需要与外部参与者建立“全球管道”,以提高其创新能力。虽然托管足以从“嗡嗡声”中获利,但“管道”需要在其建设和培育方面进行高额投资。本文通过强调企业以外的行动者,特别是社区,在促进城市本地和全球知识动态方面发挥的作用,对该模型进行了补充。遥远的相似社区之间的知识转移是由认知上的接近促进的,这种接近将已知社区的成员联系在一起,这似乎比地理上的接近更具决定性。通过对巴塞罗那不同知识社区(fabbers、同事和制造者)的三个案例研究,实证地说明了这种基于社区的模型。本文的结论是,决策者通过促进这些社区的发展和培育,可能有助于提高城市群的创新能力。

The paper presents the main results of the Eurosystemi?½s Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) with an emphasis on the data for Italy in the international context. The paper examines householdsi?½ socio-demographic characteristics, assets and income distribution, participation in real and financial assets and indebtedness levels. The results for Italy reveal a mean household gross income below the euro-area average. The concentration of income in Italy is roughly positioned at a median position, while the index of relative poverty is comparatively high. Among the main countries of the euro area, Italy shows the same average level of net worth per capita of Spain and slightly higher levels than those of France and Germany, in line with the high savings rates that characterized Italian households over the last few decades, although this trend has decreased in recent years. Finally, Italy shows the lowest percentage of indebted households.

The Influence of Paranormal Belief on House Buying: Implications for Taiwanese Consumer Behavior 超自然信念对房屋购买的影响:对台湾消费者行为的启示
Pub Date : 2012-11-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2174245
Tungshan Chou, Ling-Chuan Chang
Despite the large impact of paranormal belief on human behavior, we currently know very little about its implications for consumer behaviors. This study uses house buying as the target consumer behavior, we seek to explore the influence of paranormal belief on the taboos Taiwanese adults encounter in their decision to buy a house. In addition to the seven dimensions of paranormal belief identified by Tobacyk (1988) in the western society, we also included two dimensions commonly observed in the eastern society: qi and feng-shui. Our results support the assertions that paranormal belief has influence on Taiwanese consumer behavior and eastern paranormal belief adds to the predictive power of the traditional construct of the western paranormal belief in relation to predicting consumer behaviors in the eastern context.
尽管超自然信仰对人类行为的影响很大,但我们目前对其对消费者行为的影响知之甚少。本研究以购买房屋为目标消费行为,探讨超自然信仰对台湾成年人在购买房屋时遇到的禁忌的影响。除了Tobacyk(1988)在西方社会中确定的超自然信仰的七个维度外,我们还包括了东方社会中常见的两个维度:气和风水。我们的研究结果支持超自然信仰对台湾消费者行为的影响,而东方超自然信仰增加了西方超自然信仰传统建构对东方情境下消费者行为的预测力。

Gender Responsiveness in Planning and Budgeting: A Study of Annual Plan Budget of Kothamangalam Municipal Corporation 计划和预算中的性别反应:科塔曼加拉姆市政公司年度计划预算研究

Women in India are relatively disadvantaged and they enjoy somewhat a lower status than men in spite of the various measures and efforts taken by different governments. Gender gap still exists regarding their access to education and employment. The most recent way out suggested nationally as well as internationally to bridge this gap is through the initiation of Gender Responsiveness in the formulation of plans and budgeting the plan outlays. The present study in this context examines the gender responsiveness in the eleventh plan policies and outlays of the Kothamangalam Municipal Corporation. Gender Responsive Budget (GRB) is actually government planning and budgeting that contributes to the advancement of gender equality. 'It does not in any way mean separate budgets for women, or for men. It is an attempt to break down or disaggregate the government’s mainstream budget according to its impacts on women and men'. The present study in this context examines the gender responsiveness in the eleventh plan policies and outlays of the Kothamangalam Municipal Corporation.
印度妇女处于相对不利的地位,尽管不同政府采取了各种措施和努力,但她们的地位比男性低。她们在接受教育和就业方面仍然存在性别差距。国家和国际上建议的弥合这一差距的最新出路是在制定计划和编制计划支出预算时开始对性别问题作出反应。在这方面,本研究审查了Kothamangalam市政公司在第十一个计划政策和支出方面的性别反应。促进性别平等预算(GRB)实际上是有助于促进性别平等的政府规划和预算。“这绝不意味着男女预算要分开。它试图根据对女性和男性的影响来分解或分解政府的主流预算。在这方面,本研究审查了Kothamangalam市政公司在第十一个计划政策和支出方面的性别反应。

The present study in this context examines the gender responsiveness in the eleventh plan policies and outlays of the Kothamangalam Municipal Corporation.","PeriodicalId":250628,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Social & Cultural Issues (Topic)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130789215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green certificates are the main instrument for promoting renewable electricity (RES-E) in Sweden. But certificates cover only a limited share of total RES-E production. Under partial coverage, crowding out may arise whereby costly new RES-E replaces inexpensive old RES-E. Granting certificates to all of RES-E production improves efficiency, but leaves windfall rent to otherwise profitable facilities. We also analyze transaction costs in the permit process for new RES-E in Sweden. Municipalities veto socially desirable projects because of asymmetrically distributed investment costs and benefits. We propose market-based permit fees rather than limited veto rights as a solution to this NIMBY problem.
绿色证书是瑞典推广可再生电力(RES-E)的主要工具。但证书只覆盖了RES-E总生产的有限份额。在部分覆盖下,昂贵的新RES-E取代廉价的旧RES-E可能会出现挤出现象。向所有的RES-E产品颁发证书可以提高效率,但却给其他有利可图的设施留下了意外的租金。我们还分析了瑞典新RES-E许可过程中的交易成本。由于投资成本和收益分配不对称,市政当局否决了社会期望的项目。我们建议以市场为基础的许可费而不是有限的否决权来解决邻避问题。
