Climate Change, Liberalism, and the Public/Private Distinction

2021

In an earlier paper (Jamieson and Di Paola 2016) we explored the ways in which anthropogenic climate change and more generally the Anthropocene—this new epoch in which no earthly place, form, entity, process, or system escapes the reach of human activity—puts pressure on some central categories and concepts of liberal democratic theory. In this chapter we focus on one particular distinction that is at the heart of liberal theory: that between the public and the private (henceforth ‘the Distinction’). Our claim is that climate change puts pressure on the Distinction in ways that are difficult for liberals to relieve. Our purpose is not to write an obituary for liberalism, but to articulate s…

Virtual Environment for Implementation and Testing Private Wide Area Network Solutions

2013

In this paper the concept of virtual environment for implementation and testing private Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions is presented. The VMware vSphere virtualization platform is used. The paper presents the ability to reflect the structure of any given WAN topology using Vyatta software routers and VMware virtualization platform and verifies its reliability regarding data transfer. The paper includes a number of performance tests to verify the dependability of the proposed solution and provide a proof-of-concept for the network topology during the Design phase of the PPDIOO methodology, right before the Implementation phase.

A legal and economic analysis of the concept of anticipatory breach under the CISG

2021

Contractual remedies are traditionally available after the breach of a contract, but can a party suspecting non-performance prior to the date of performance entitled to seek for remedies? The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), regulates the doctrine of anticipatory breach in Articles 71-73, outlining the circumstances in which an anticipatory breach is deemed to occur and the remedies available to the aggrieved party. The Convention entitles the innocent party to the right to suspend or avoid but it contains unambiguous terms in need for interpretation. Additionally, the doctrine of anticipatory breach begs the questions of economic efficiency, a fundamenta…

No evidence of systematic pre-emptive loggings after notifying landowners of their lands’ conservation potential

2020

Landowners can intentionally impair biodiversity values occurring on their land to pre-empt biodiversity protection. This often leads to significant negative effects on biodiversity. We studied whether landowners in Finland engaged in pre-emptive loggings after they were notified that their wooded mires are candidate sites for a mire protection program. After the notification, harvesting rates of the candidate wooded mires were significantly lower compared to harvesting rates of similar but non-candidate wooded mires. Annual and monthly harvesting rates indicated that notifying landowners of the conservation potential did not launch systematic pre-emptive logging behavior. Nevertheless, par…

Discretionary Government Consumption, Private Domestic Demand, and Crisis Episodes

2012

This paper analyzes the dynamic impact of discretionary government consumption purchases on private demand. Using a panel of 132 countries from 1960 to 2008, we find that while discretionary changes in government consumption lead to crowding-in effects in the short run, crowding-out effects take over in the medium run. In addition, we also find that both short-term crowding-in and mediumterm crowding out effects are amplified once we control for periods of crisis.

The Impact of Government Spending on the Private Sector: Crowding-out versus Crowding-in Effects

2011

Summary We contribute to the empirical literature on the effect of government spending on economic activity, by assessing the impact of changes in government spending-GDP ratio on (the short-term growth rates of) private consumption and investment. We do this by analysing a panel sample of 145 countries from 1960 to 2007. The results of our paper suggest that government spending produces important crowding-out effects, by negatively affecting both private consumption and investment. The result is broadly robust to both country and time effects, and different econometric specifications. In addition, we show that the effect of government consumption on private consumption and investment does …

Household Leverage and Fiscal Multipliers

2011

We study the size of fiscal multipliers in response to a government spending shock under different household leverage conditions in a general equilibrium setting with search and matching frictions. We allow for different levels of household indebtedness by changing the intensive margin of borrowing (loan-to-value ratio), as well as the extensive margin, defined as the number of borrowers over total population. The interaction between the consumption decisions of agents with limited access to credit and the process of wage bargaining and vacancy posting delivers two main results: (a) higher initial leverage makes it more likely to find output multipliers higher than one; and (b) a positive g…

The Convention For Choosing The Applicable Law – A Construction Specific For The Relationships Of Private Law With Foreign Element

2017

The legal relationships with foreign element generate the need to designate the law applicable in the conflict of laws. The national conflictual right and the European regulations govern the two complementary mechanisms for determining the law of the cause. Choosing the law by the parties gives expression to the subjective determination that, for some matters, is the rule, and for others, is the subsidiary solution. The recourse to the localization criteria of the applicable law signifies the objective determination of the law and contains variants that always lead to the identification of the lex causae. The method of concretizing the will of the parties is the choice convention of the app…
