The Economics of Financial Services in Emerging Markets Measuring the Output of the Banking and Insurance Industries

Any enquiry into the nature performance role demerits growth efficiency or other aspects of financial services such as banking and insurance activities requires rigorous estimates of their economic output i. e. the economic contributions made by these firms as well as by the industries as a whole. Accordingly this book condenses several theoretical methodological empirical and philosophical issues in conceptualizing measuring and empirically operationalizing the economic output of the banking and insurance industries. The analytical focus is on both Global and Emerging Markets perspectives. The book synthesizes applied and conceptual evidence to locate the chosen theme's analytical patterns consensus and disagreements. The selected subject matter is studied within the firm-level and aggregate settings bringing literature of varied scopes together. Contributions from various international academics practitioners and policymakers further enrich the narrative. The book concludes with data-driven case studies that analyze the extent to which the critical performance parameters of the banking and insurance industries in the BRIICS economies – including estimation of aggregate industry-level partial factor productivities total factor productivity technical efficiency and returns to scale – vary concerning alternate measures of their output. The present work also provides a brief note on the inputs measurement dimension following which there is a discussion on the limitations future scope and conclusions. This work will be valuable for researchers and policymakers undertaking performance analyses related to banking and insurance activities. It shall provide them with the examination of a plethora of analytical options and related issues on the theory and praxis of output measurement all finely organized into one single volume. | The Economics of Financial Services in Emerging Markets Measuring the Output of the Banking and Insurance Industries

Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

In this study author Caroline Huey analyzes the copious literary output of medieval poet and barber-surgeon Hans Folz in all its variety-whether Meisterlied Reimpaarspruch or carnival play. Heretofore published research to do with Folz's multifaceted and compelling oeuvre has been fragmentary because scholars have restricted themselves by genre in examining themes in Folz's work. By integrating the different themes across Folz's output and by integrating consideration (previously neglected by earlier critics) of Folz's role as barber-surgeon Huey offers new insights as to the interaction of these themes and to the character of the poet's work overall. She shows that ultimately Folz is concerned with the circulation of knowledge and power correct and incorrect behavior and above all with finding order. In each chapter Huey examines a particular theme from Folz's life and/or work. She looks at how adeptly he commandeers the new technology of printing to further his own ends; how his ubiquitous physicality connects his medical body to his Christian body; his attitude toward women; and the anti-Jewish thread in his work. | Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Originally published in 1967 this was the first book to discuss why agricultural supply became more ‘responsive’ and to provide broadly based evidence of the ways in which that ‘responsiveness’ may have influenced the growth of the economy. The editor chose 7 essays reprinted in full to illustrate altered perspectives of agricultural change. His substantial introduction places the beginnings of a significant rise in farm output as far back as the mid-seventeenth century and concludes that agriculture played a vital but complicated role in the economy of eighteenth-century England. | Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised

The essays in this volume first published in 1989 seek to re-examine an important area of economic theory: value and distribution. In a sustained and analytical critique two principle methodological approaches are compared and distinguished: the Classical or ‘surplus-based’ theories and the demand-and-supply-based equilibrium (DSE) theories. Although the essays are primarily concerned with value and distribution the critique necessarily extends to the theory of output and employment and in general to the theory of trade and accumulation. The book will be an invaluable reader for students of economic thought capital theory and Marxian political economy. | Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised

Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

John Antill (1904-1986) was one of the foremost composers of Australia's post-colonial period. Although a relatively prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia Antill's wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his famous ballet Corroboree - a work which was perceived to bring an authentic Australian musical style before both a national and international audience for the first time. Through Sir Eugene Goossens' championship the work was heard by enthusiastic audiences in Australia Britain Europe and the USA and was for many years the best-known work of any Australian-born and resident composer. Indeed it has remained for both Australian and overseas audiences an Australian musical icon. David Symons traces Antill's development as a composer from his early pre-Corroboree works which display a late Romantic to post-impressionist style through an analysis of the virile dissonant primitivist idiom of his magnum opus to an examination of his later output of theatrical orchestral and vocal/choral works. The book provides comprehensive and valuable insight into Antill's musical output at the same time focussing on more detailed analyses of his major works which have reached public performances and/or recordings. In this way the book not only presents a developmental picture of Antill's works but also demonstrates why they have made him one of Australia's most prominent musical creators of the post-colonial period. | Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Machine Translation (MT) has become widely used throughout the world as a medium of communication between those who live in different countries and speak different languages. However translation between distant languages constitutes a challenge for machines. Therefore translation evaluation is poised to play a significant role in the process of designing and developing effective MT systems. This book evaluates three prominent MT systems including Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr each of which provides translation between English and Arabic. In the book Almahasees scrutinizes the capacity of the three systems in dealing with translation between English and Arabic in a large corpus taken from various domains including the United Nation (UN) the World Health Organization (WHO) the Arab League Petra News Agency reports and two literary texts: The Old Man and the Sea and The Prophet. The evaluation covers holistic analysis to assess the output of the three systems in terms of Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) adequacy and fluency scales. The text also looks at error analysis to evaluate the systems’ output in terms of orthography lexis grammar and semantics at the entire-text level and in terms of lexis grammar and semantics at the collocation level. The research findings contained within this volume provide important feedback about the capabilities of the three MT systems with respect to EnglishArabic translation and paves the way for further research on such an important topic. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of translation studies and translation technology. | Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr
