This paper provides a critique of information and communication technology (ICT) policies in developing countries. Based on critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Iranian government discourse in the case of electronic fund transfer at the point of sale (EFT-POS) system, we illustrate the influence of global discourse on the policies and their contributions to the outcomes. We also analyze how policy shaped the ways in which different actors were included and allowed to participate in the implementation process. We show that enhancing the mainstream criteria like the rate of ICT adoption and diffusion, do not necessarily mean that policy will reap the expected benefits. From this standpoint, we propose that the focus of debate in policy making and defining policy objectives should move beyond setting objectives exclusively adopted from global discourse to also considering local issues and concerns. In such conditions, there will be less resistance to the government plans and fewer social challenges. 相似文献

The behavior of privately owned and publicly owned water utilities is examined by calculating the percentage difference between
the observed cost and the optimum cost consistent with the Weak Axiom of Cost Minimization for each individual water utility.
It allows for a comprehensive analysis of nearly optimizing behavior of economic units as opposed to the conventional analysis
of exact optimizing behavior. The empirical results provide evidence that private water utilities are more efficient than
public water utilities. 相似文献

Research in economics and finance documents a puzzling negative relationship between stock returns and inflation rates in
markets of industrialized economies. The present study investigates this relationship for Korea and Mexico. We show that the
negative relationship between the real stock returns and unexpected inflation persists after purging inflation of the effects
of the real economic activity. Johansen and Juselius cointegration tests verify that the long-run equilibrium between stock
prices and general price levels is weak. However, in both economies, stock prices and general price levels seem to show a
strong long-run equilibrium with the real economic activity.
This paper benefited from the constructive suggestions of an anonymous referee. The remaining errors are the authors’ responsibility.

The marketing literature on program context includes several studies on the influence of program‐induced positive and negative emotions on the evaluation of embedded television advertisements. While the majority of these studies have been conducted with younger adults, new discoveries on the differentiated processes of emotion regulation among younger and older adults are reviving interest in this topic. The present study examined the impact of television program context on program‐induced affective reactions and on the processing of embedded television advertisements among younger and older adults. Program‐induced mood valence was manipulated by using excerpts from sad and happy films. This research shows that affective reactions elicited by sad and happy television programs, as well as attitude toward the advertisement, differ between younger and older adults. The level of sadness reported by older adults was lower than that of younger adults within a sad program context. The results also show a negative influence of a sad (versus a happy) program on attitude toward the advertisement among younger adults but not among older adults. These results confirm that in advancing age, it is possible to shape emotional responses to suit regulation goals. 相似文献

This paper simulates the effects of funding a comprehensive health plan (CHP) on consumer spending in the U.S. using a demographically enhanced dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System model. Quarterly observations on personal consumption expenditures and the relevant price indices of seven major commodity and service groups in the U.S. for the period 1963. 1 through 1989.4 comprise our data set. Our results show that the CHP financing causes no significant adjustment on the demand-side of the economy, i.e., consumer expenditures on the seven major commodity and service groups would decrease slightly in the short run under the CHP financing.

The Effects of Market Structure and Technology on Airline Fleet Composition after Deregulation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present study examines the effects of market structure and technology on airline fleet composition in the deregulated airline industry. To capture the effects of market structure and technology on airline fleet acquisition and use, a profit function which allows airline fleet in its specification is applied to derive the fleet composition function of an airline. The results show a steady pattern in airlines' adoption of two-engine wide-bodied aircraft during the post-deregulation era, providing evidence that the airlines have responded consistently to changes in market structure and technology in acquiring two-engine wide-bodied aircraft after deregulation. 相似文献
