The course provides a survey of the theory and application of time series methods in econometrics. Topics covered will include univariate stationary and non-stationary models, vector autoregressions, frequency domain methods, models for estimation and inference in persistent time series, and structural breaks. We will cover different methods of estimation and inferences of modern dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models (DSGE): simulated method of moments, maximum likelihood and Bayesian approach. The empirical applications in the course will be drawn primarily from macroeconomics.

"Civilization is mostly the story of how seeds, meats, and ways to cook them travel from place to place." - Adam Gopnik, "What's Cooking" "A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one's accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes." - Wendell Berry, "The Pleasures of Eating" If you are what you eat, what are you? Food is at once the stuff of life and a potent symbol; it binds us to the earth, to our families, and to our cultures. The aroma of turkey roasting or the taste of green tea can be a portal to memories, while too many Big Macs can clog our arteries. The chef is an artist, yet those who pick oranges or process meat may be little more than slaves. In this class, we will explore many of the fascinating issues that surround food as both material fact and personal and cultural symbol. We will read essays by Chang-Rae Lee, Francine du Plessix Gray, M. F. K. Fisher, Anthony Bourdain, and others on such topics as family meals, the art and science of cooking, fair trade, eating disorders, and food's ability to awaken us to "our own powers of enjoyment" (M. F. K. Fisher). We will also read Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation and view one or more films or videos as a class. Assigned essays will grow out of memories and the texts we read, and will include personal narratives and essays that depend on research. Workshop review of writing in progress and revision of essays will be an important part of the course.

Published: 07/07/2009, 12:12 CET Deadline: 31/08/2009

Re-invent Europe through innovation and transform the EU into an innovation society. These are key orientations proposed by a Business Panel on future EU innovation policy for open consultation. The panel was set up by DG Enteprise and Industry to provide bold ideas for a new European Plan for Innovation. The Panel, a small group of renowned individuals bringing together different perspectives on innovation, have placed their ideas on the internet for open comment, and for stakeholders to vote, share and propose their own ideas. The consultation will run until the end of August, and the results will be used by the Panel to finalise their report to DG Enterprise and Industry in the early Autumn.

Online education programs at colleges and universities continue to grow in popularity. As a result, major accrediting agencies require online programs to demonstrate rigor and integrity equivalent to that of similar on-campus programs. Federal Regulations also require online programs to positively identify the student taking course exams. Some universities are turning to technology to combat cheating and verify the identity of the person taking tests. They also use the same technology to monitor the testing environment for evidence of cheating. This paper provides a case study of the process used to evaluate, adopt, and implement Remote Proctor at a small southern regional university (SSRU). Remote Proctor is a device that verifies the student’s identity through the use of biometric and photographic comparison.

Capire il bilancio e i dati economico finanziari

Sia per i Manager che operano in aziende che attualmente attraversano un periodo di difficoltà economico finanziaria, sia per quelli che stanno trascorrendo un periodo di buona stabilità, è di fondamentale importanza essere in grado di monitorare la situazione economica e lo stato di salute finanziaria della propria azienda , in un confronto costante con la concorrenza. E' quindi indispensabile che ogni imprenditore, manager, dirigente e consulente apprenda la gestione dei "numeri", per potere pianificare le azioni, definire gli obiettivi, misurare i progressi, analizzare i risultati. A questo proposito, Il Sole 24 ORE organizza un Master di specializzazione dedicato a tutti i Manager, destinato a fornire un quadro completo e integrato degli strumenti di lettura e interpretazione del bilancio, di redazione di un business plan, di una impostazione di un sistema di controllo di gestione, al fine di consentire agli operatori di completare le proprie competenze avendo sempre consapevolezza delle implicazioni economiche e finanziarie delle scelte aziendali. Questo corso fa parte del Master in Economics d'impresa:I

Event date: 2009-07-06 The EU-funded SICON ('Stability, identification and control in nonlinear structural dynamics') project is organising a training course on 'Vibration testing, identification of linear and nonlinear systems' in Liège, Belgium, from 6 to 10 July.

The demand for enhanced and reliable performance of vibrating structures in terms of weight, comfort, safety, noise and durability is ever increasing. At the same time, there is a demand for shorter design cycles, longer operating life, minimization of inspection and repair needs, and reduced costs.

This fifth course in a series is meant to provide a concise point of departure for researchers and practitioners wishing to assess the current state of the art in the identification of nonlinear structural models. It also intends to review several methods that have been proposed in technical literature and to highlight some obstacles that prevent these techniques from being applied to complex structures. Future research needs in nonlinear system identification will also be examined.

Slow dialogue: 1:13

Fast dialogue: 14:21

Emil: Have a seat. As you know, we need to talk about your annual performance evaluation. Is there anything you’d like to say before we get started?

Sandra: Yes, there is. I’ve tried really hard this year to improve on some of the shortcomings identified in my evaluation last year.

Emil: Hmm, I’m afraid that’s not reflected in this year’s evaluation. Your supervisor noted on the report that you’ve been performing below par for several months now, and your productivity is down, too.

Sandra: I can’t imagine why she would say that. If I haven’t excelled on the new project, I’ve at least pulled my weight. I don’t think she can fault me on that.

Emil: On the contrary, she thinks that you’ve been slacking off and not giving 100 percent.

Sandra: I have had some personal issues, but I didn’t think they had been affecting my work. I guess I’ve let them bring down my performance.

Emil: This was a hard decision, but we’re putting you on probation for the next three months. You’ll have another evaluation at the end of that time. If your performance isn’t up to par by that time, we’ll have to think about letting you go.

Sandra: That won’t happen. I’m going to pull out all the stops to prove myself.

Emil: Good. That’s what I wanted to hear.

<a href="http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=EN_NEWS&ACTION=D&SESSION=&RCN=30854">EU ministers adopt legal framework for European research infrastructures</a>

<img src="http://cordis.europa.eu/news/images/20090602_1.jpg" alt="">
European research ministers have agreed on a legal framework for the establishment of European research infrastructures. The decision paves the way for the creation of world class infrastructures that should help Europe to take the lead in a wide range of research fields.

The agreement was one of several reached at the latest Competitiveness Council meeting which took place in Brussels, Belgium, on 28 and 29 May.

Currently, national and EU laws do not meet the needs of complex research infrastructures with partners in many countries. To remedy this situation, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a new legal framework for European research infrastructures back in July 2008.

By December, discussions among the Member States had reached a stalemate over the thorny issue of how to exempt research infrastructures from VAT (Value Added Tax) and excise duty. The Czech Presidency suggested that European research infrastructures be treated as international organisations for VAT purposes. This proposal was accepted by a qualified majority.

Under the new legal framework, Member States wishing to host a European research infrastructure will have to declare in their application to the Commission that they recognise the new infrastructure as an international organisation.

'The legal framework will significantly cut financial and administrative costs and clarify the legal environment for the functioning of European research infrastructures and at the same time enhance scientific cooperation,' stated the Czech Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Miroslava Kopicová.

'In this way it will bring down barriers to investments in science and research. This achievement is considered a valuable success not only by me but also by my European counterparts.'

EU Commissioner for Science and Research Janez Potocnik welcomed the decision, saying: 'The Council's agreement is excellent news for EU research and for the EU economy. Investing today in the construction of large-scale research infrastructures can certainly contribute to the EU economic recovery and will surely reinforce our competitiveness when we get out of the recession. It will help to create jobs, economic activities, and help produce the cutting-edge scientific knowledge which will be the new engine for the EU's growth and competitiveness.'

The ministers also highlighted the important role research infrastructures can play in boosting regional development. In a statement, they invite Member States and the Commission to 'encourage the development of research infrastructures, including the distribution, in a way to facilitate balanced implementation of ERA [European Research Area], while preserving the principle of scientific excellence and ensuring effective access.'

They also stress the importance of analysing the socio-economic returns and cost effectiveness for the host region as well as for Europe as a whole.

Other items on the agenda included the evaluation and impact assessment of European research framework programmes (FPs) and the realisation of the ERA.

On the first point, ministers invited the Commission to 'clearly and explicitly acknowledge, when designing new FPs, the extent to which this work is based on evaluation results, foresight studies and impact assessments'.

Finally, on the development of the ERA, ministers encourage Member States and the Commission to 'further engage in ensuring enhanced complementarity and synergies between Community policies and instruments as well as between regional, national and intergovernmental initiatives.'

'Today, the Czech Presidency managed to meet several important priorities and fulfil the motto of a 'European Research Area without barriers',' concluded Minister Kopicová.

<a href="http://www.smallbusiness.co.uk/channels/employing-staff/news/1021516/smes-would-benefit-from-graduate-internships.thtml">SMEs 'would benefit from graduate internships'</a>

Government plans to increase internships will allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to benefit from taking on graduates, an expert asserts.

The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills recently unveiled the Graduate Talent Pool initiative, which will match people to internship schemes in private companies.

Elspeth Farrar, vice president of the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services, says that small firms tend to lack the financial resources to offer intern positions and the new scheme could see fresh talent injected into these workplaces.

She states that the SME sector has the potential to directly benefit from the talent pool, claiming small firms tend not to have established internship schemes and will be able to set them up with the government support.

However, Farrar adds that the success of the scheme is dependent on employers creating sensible intern programmes which offer real value to graduates.

The Graduate Talent Pool will see 250 short-term placements created through Mini Knowledge Transfer partnerships, which are a collaboration between a higher education provider, a company and graduate, with this figure increasing to 500 in 2010/11.
