Materiality and atmosphere. Two American beat artists painting Europe

2019

The article discusses how European painting heavily influenced two American Beat painters in the post war years. Post-war American painting was often concerned with breaking away from traditional iconography and style, but Jay DeFeo and Joan Brown chose to engage with European traditional painting. Both artists travelled to Europe early in their careers and both declare an intense interest in European painters, paintings, and architecture. In Brown’s case particularly the works of Goya, Velazquez, and Rembrandt become scrutinized and remodeled in her pasty abstract style. De Feo, on her hand, states a particular interest in how the European cities’ distinct colors, lights and textures inspi…

Coffins in Finland : the history of production, design and attitudes

2017

AbstractCoffins as death-related objects have changed in Finland during the past 150 years and the Finnish funeral industry has been created to answer the changing needs of customers. No longer do people build coffins in the household, or only buy a coffin and some other items from the funeral company: now professionals manage entire funerals. Coffin designs have become simpler and less socially discriminating and the colour formerly reserved for children and young people, white, has become the most popular colour for a coffin. Attitudes towards coffins have also changed, from mild dislike of having a coffin in the home to general demand of hiding coffins even in funeral companies’ premises…

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Using Finnish Sign Language : Training Counselors in Signed ACT for the Deaf. A Pilot Study

2018

This study evaluated the implementation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Finnish Sign Language in a rehabilitation center for deaf people. Sixteen (16) clients and nine (9) staff members participated in this pilot study. Staff members received a brief training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) including 16 h lectures, 15 h supervision, and studying material. Each staff member treated 1–2 clients during 8–10 sessions. As part of the study, several ACT metaphors and exercises were translated into Finnish Sign Language. The study indicated that counselors with limited knowledge of psychological interventions were able to deliver an ACT intervention using Finnish Sign Language a…

The Psychological Foundations of Management in Family Firms: Emotions, Memories, and Experiences

2021

Exploring the psychological foundations of management in family firms is necessary to understand why they formulate and implement strategies differently from nonfamily firms, and why and how family firm behavior varies across different family firms. Picone et al. (2021. The psychological foundations of management in family firms: Values, biases, and heuristics. Family Business Review, 34(1), 12-32) have proposed a conceptual framework for the psychological foundations of management in family business, examining how the values, biases, and heuristics of family firm members affect strategic decision-making and family firm outcomes. Drawing on this framework, we examine emotions, memories, an…

Schatten über der Schwarzarbeit

2008

Die Diskussion uber Messung, Grosenordnung und Konsequenzen der Schwarzarbeit steht bereits deshalb unter einem Schatten, der den Blick dafur truben kann, weil Enste und Schneider trotz jahrelanger Befassung mit dem Thema Schwarzarbeit und Schattenwirtschaft nicht systematisch zu unterscheiden vermogen. Ihre Schatzungen fur die Dimension des Phanomens beruhen zudem generell auf wissenschaftlich nicht haltbaren Vorgehensweisen, die sie gleichwohl repetitiv anwenden. Die unterstellten Einnahmenverluste beim Staat ergeben sich im Ubrigen lediglich bei Vernachlassigung mikrookonomisch bedeutsamer Budgetrestriktionen sowie durch Auserachtlassung zwingender makrookonomischer Kreislaufzusammenhang…

Die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung von Schwarzarbeit

2007

Die Schwarzarbeit wird in der finanzpolitischen Diskussion in Deutschland als volkswirtschaftlich gewichtig angesehen, und es werden ihr erhebliche Einnahmenverluste des Staates zugeschrieben. Die vorliegende Arbeit hinterfragt diese Behauptungen. Nach einer Definition der Schwarzarbeit und ihrer Abgrenzung gegenuber ahnlichen Sachverhalten wird die unterstellte volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung zuruckgewiesen. Auserdem lasst sich im Rahmen einer konsistenten okonomischen Analyse zeigen, dass dem Staat durch Schwarzarbeit keinerlei Einnahmeausfalle entstehen. Nach allem ist das Ausmas der Schwarzarbeit in Deutschland gering, wobei gleichwohl allokative Wirkungen der Schwarzarbeit nicht auszusc…

The Effects of Financial Crisis on the Organizational Reputation of Banks: An Empirical Analysis of Newspaper Articles

2018

The recent financial crisis has triggered an intense debate about the role of banks in society, presumably changing the criteria used in the evaluation of organizations. Against this backdrop, we investigate the changing role of banks’ organizational features in shaping different dimensions of banks’ organizational reputation. Using the media as an important evaluator, we measure the reputational dimension of visibility based on the frequency of newspaper articles and the reputational dimension of favorability based on the sentiment of newspaper articles. Drawing on social judgment research for developing our hypotheses, we expect that organizational features such as financial performance …

Interventions with Sticky Social Norms: A Critique

2021

Abstract We study the consequences of policy interventions when social norms are endogenous but costly to change. In our environment, a group faces a negative externality that it partially mitigates through incentives in the form of punishments. In this setting, policy interventions can have unexpected consequences. The most striking is that when the cost of bargaining is high, introducing a Pigouvian tax can increase output—yet in doing so increase welfare. An observer who saw that an increase in a Pigouvian tax raised output might wrongly conclude that this harmed welfare and that a larger tax increase would also raise output. This counter-intuitive impact on output is demonstrated theore…

Do Price Barriers Exist in the European Carbon Market?

2017

ABSTRACTIt is generally thought that psychological prices in markets primarily traded by professional participants should play a limited role. The authors investigate the existence of key reference points in the European Carbon Market, which can be considered as a market with highly qualified stakeholders. They document the presence of key levels and barrier bands around European Union Allowances (EUA) prices. It appears that traders tend to consider these price levels as resistances in upward movements and as supports in downward movements. Furthermore, the authors have observed that the existence of price barriers affects both return and volume dynamics. Therefore, the results indicate th…
