When do cooperation and commitment matter in a monetary union?

2013

International audience; This paper offers a framework to study strategic interactions between private players, national fiscal authorities and a common central bank in monetary unions. We establish general conditions, in terms of restrictions on spillover effects of actions by private and public players, under which games that differ in the degree of cooperation and commitment can admit the same equilibrium outcome. We use these conditions to characterize benchmark results on the irrelevance of cooperation and commitment established in recent literature. Moreover, we show for a general setting, in which the benchmark results do not apply, that gains from fiscal cooperation depend on the num…

DOES REAL INTEREST RATE PARITY HOLD FOR OECD COUNTRIES? NEW EVIDENCE USING PANEL STATIONARITY TESTS WITH CROSS-SECTION DEPENDENCE AND STRUCTURAL BREA…

2010

This paper tests for real interest rate parity (RIRP) among the 17 major Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries over the period 1978:Q1–2006:Q1. The econometric methods applied consist of combining the use of panel data tests that are valid under cross-section dependence and the presence of multiple structural breaks. This feature is important because the misspecification errors due to not accounting for structural breaks and/or cross-section dependence can lead to misleading conclusions. Our results support the fulfilment of the weak version of the RIRP for short-term interest rate differentials once dependence and structural breaks are considered.

‘Experimental Union’ and Baltic Sea cooperation: the case of the European Union’s Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR)

2018

In the past, Baltic Sea cooperation has been characterized by a plethora of actors, embracing a wide range of policy objectives, such as the establishment of a good environmental status for the regional sea. In 2009, the European Council endorsed the European Union’s (EU) Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) as a new tool in the repertoire of Cohesion Policy and European Territorial Cooperation (ETC). The EUSBSR seeks to foster cross-sectoral coordination and functional cooperation in policy areas of ‘macro-region-level’ relevance, such as transport infrastructure, economic development and environmental protection – thus projecting a ‘soft space’ of transnational Baltic Sea cooperati…

Odeseizar la educación y la cooperación para el desarrollo en España : una mirada internacional a la AOD y al ODS 4

2020

El presente artículo pretende centrar su atención en la política sectorial de la AOD vinculada a la educación desde la ingeniería cosmopolita de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible que han permitido odeseizarlas políticas mundiales (Barandiarán, 2017), de las que la cooperación y la educación constituyen dos objetos de análisis e investigación. Para ello, sus objetivos se centrarán en revisar el caso español del binomio AOD y educación y cómo, estrechamente vinculado a la ortodoxia política mundial homogeneizadora que proviene de manera intencionalmente manifiesta por parte de los organismos internacionales, la AOD en la actualidad y en este ámbito específico se ha canalizado y transmuta…

Associations between structures, processes and outcomes in inter-municipal cooperation in out-of-hours services in Norway: A survey study

2020

Abstract Inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) has gained widespread recognition as a beneficial strategy for improving efficiency and quality in the provision of out-of-hours emergency care services (OOH services). Little attention, however, has been given to the additional costs of cooperation and the relational processes through which benefits and costs are likely to result. Based on survey data from 266 (77%) Norwegian municipalities involved in IMC in OOH services in 2015, this study aimed to investigate how the structure (governance form, complexity and stability) and quality (trust and consensus) of cooperation processes interact to influence the perceived outcomes (benefits and costs) o…

ES enerģijas politika un Turcijas loma energoapgādes drošības kontekstā.

2015

Ņemot vērā vietējo energoresursu trūkumu, ES ir bijusi enerģijas importētājas pozīcijā jau kopš tās dibināšanas. Lai gan energoapgādes drošība galvenokārt ir bijusi ES darba kārtībā, tikai nesen ir veikti stingri drošības pasākumi. Konflikts starp Ukrainu un Krieviju sākās 2013. gadā un parāda, cik steidzama un stingra rīcība ir nepieciešama, lai tiktu nodrošināta droša energoapgāde. Saistībā ar iepriekš minēto, enerģijas piegāžu diversifikācija ieņem ļoti īpašu lomu dalībvalstu dienaskārtībā kopā ar to uzticamo sabiedroto - Turciju. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izskaidrot kā ES enerģētiskā atkarība ir mainījusies laika gaitā, analizēt esošos energoapgādes drošības pasākumus un pierādīt Turcijas l…

Eiropas Savienības un Kazahstānas divpusējās attiecības: svarīgāko motīvu pārskatīšana

2019

Maģistra darbā apskatītas ES un Kazahstānas divpusējās attiecības, uzsverot attiecību virzitājmotīvus un veicinošos apstākļus. Darba autore secina, ka sadarbība ar ES Kazahstānai ir kā iespēja paaugstināt tās ekonomisko modernizāciju un palielināt tās politisko leģitimitāti pasaules politikā, kas ļoti labi atbilst Kazahstānas daudzvirzienu politiskajam diskursam. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka šī partnerība ir nozīmīga, tā kā ES saglabā vienlaicīgi pozitīvu virzienu uz Kazahstānu, neatkarīgi no tā, ka valsts turpina lēni virzīties uz ES vērtību sasniegšanu. Autore analizējusi šīs divpusējās attiecības, balstoties uz „pragmatisko modernizācijas” modeli. Maģistra darbā analizēts, vai būtu jāp…

Double-balloon enteroscopy-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of small-bowel varices: an international experience from 2 European tertia…

2019

Background and Aims Small-bowel varices (SBVs) are an uncommon consequence of portal hypertension. Radiologic intervention is usually considered for first-line management. When radiologic intervention is not possible, management options become very limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE)-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of SBVs. Methods This was a retrospective review of DBE-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of SBVs (December 2015 to October 2016). Results Ten DBEs were performed in 6 patients (4 women; median age, 68.5 years). No radiologic or surgical options were deemed feasible. Thirteen nests of SBVs…
