by Peter Bagge
Published by Vertigo
Meet three certified geeks: a self-loathing journalist who has a seemingly normal girlfriend, a conspiracy theorist who still lives with his mother and an unemployed gamer who lives in his car. These strangely likable misfits find that dark personal secrets can sometimes be a virtue in OTHER LIVES, a hilarious original graphic novel by award-winning creator Peter Bagge (Hate). The story also explores people's identities, both real and created, and how the two become confused and conflated through the Internet and role-playing games.

Darling Daisy! This 2ish yr old, 65lb beautiful, muscle-packed girl is the perfect athletic partner for rigorous hiking and running. She's also always up for a good jog or even a bike-ride. If there is only time to play in the backyard, she's perfectly happy playing LOTS of fetch. She needs to have a large, fenced backyard in which to run, stretch and roll in the grass... and having a like-size boy to play with would be ideal. She's a smart girl that learns very quickly... and she's always eager to please. After a good romp outside, she's always ready to come in and relax... and if she can get away with it... her favorite place to ... (Read More)lounge across your lap! Daisy is also very quiet and well mannered. She's fully house and crate trained, and she can remain home alone for a reasonable amount of hours. Although she gets along great with other dogs, cats are not an option for this girl... and kids must be over 10yrs old. (Less)

Sweet Sully! He's approx 5yrs old, maybe just a bit younger... and weighs about 45-50ish lbs. He's the perfect size medium dog for hiking, walking, car rides or just hanging out. He's an easy going guy that is perfect blend of: sometimes very affectionate and attentive... sometimes aloof and independent. Because he can be somewhat reserved, kids must be over 14yrs old. He's okay with polite dogs of like size and larger but absolutely no small dogs, cats or other critters for this adorable boy. He can be left home alone for a reasonable amount of hours and he must have a fenced backyard in which to run and play.

Darling Denver! This 9mo old, 50lb boy is very sweet... and can't hear a thing! Yes, Denver is completely deaf. He doesn't let his hearing impairment affect him in any way because he loves to run through the yard with the other dogs or greet any person he meets. He's a very smart boy, too, and has learned quite a few hand signals quickly. He completed a 6wk training course during which he was even the star pupil! Denver is a very sweet, active boy that loves to run, jog, hike, play in the water and go on car rides... or anything else that has to do with outdoor activities. Although he gets along great with other dogs, he does get a ... (Read More)bit jealous when in the home with some so he must have an experienced owner. He's quite adorable and he's had lots of interest, but he is a special needs boy so he must have an owner that understands and is experienced with hearing impaired dogs.

Baby Girl was the beloved pet of an elderly couple, who simply took in too many needy dogs, and found themselves unable to properly care for the pack. Baby Girl is a 9 year old mixed breed, weighs about 40 pounds, loves getting hugs and snuggles. She gets along with most dogs. She has a medical condition (hip dysplasia) that restricts her activity somewhat.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Boxer in Washington
Boxer Dogs can make good pets in Washington if they match your IifestyIe. Boxer dogs are energetic, playful and intelligent animals, they like to clown around a lot and will keep you laughing. Boxers learn new things quickly, and, at the same time, can be clever and stubborn. Boxer dogs bond well with a family, are very affectionate and get along well with children. Boxers need a lot of exercise, and will be well-behaved as long as they are taken on long walks every day. If kept confined without a lot of exercise, however, boxer dogs can become destructive. Boxers require lots of human companionship and should never be left alone for long periods of time.

With the anticipation for Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV continuing to grow, SOHH recently hit up Young Money artist Gudda Gudda to get the inside scoop on what listeners can expect to hear.
Promising big things to come, Gudda said Weezy's delayed LP will live up to fans' high expectations and serve as a proper follow-up to 2008's Tha Carter III.
"I think it's going to be big and I'm not just saying that because he's my homie," Gudda Gudda told SOHH when asked about the delayed project. "I'm just being honest. I think it's going to be big and it can match up to what Tha Carter III did. The expectations are really big and it's going to be really big for hip-hop when it finally comes out." (SOHH)
Gudda Gudda also gave props to other rap crews for the efforts to elevate hip-hop.
"I ain't going to say hip-hop ain't exciting right now because it is," Gudda Gudda added. "You have people like Eminem and Shady Records making a lot of noise. You have [the artists on] G.O.O.D. Music making a lot of noise. Maybach Music really came out of nowhere and is making a gang of noise. It's very exciting right now but I think Wayne's getting ready to put that sh*t out there that we need. It's good music. He's going to drop that album and it's going to get crazy." (SOHH)
Recently, Lil Wayne revealed Carter IV may be his final rap album.
The Young Money leader also revealed to XXL that he plans to retire soon and hints at C4 possibly being his last offering. "I'm bowing out still on top," he says. "I'ma make y'all want me when I retire. I'ma make y'all be like, 'Nooo!' I ain't leaving out this b*tch when y'all be like, 'Yeah, it's about time, dawg.' Carter IV might be my last one. I'ma make y'all be like, 'F*ck!' Yeah, n*gga, I'm gone." (XXL Mag)
Despite leaking weeks prior to its June 2008 release, Wayne's Carter III managed to sell over a million copies in seven days.
With opening day sales figures of approximately 223,000, the album sold 1,005,545 copies in its first week in the United States. With its first week sales, it is the largest first week sales for any album in 2008 in the United States and the first album to reach the million mark in one week since 50 Cent's The Massacre in 2005. (Wikipedia)
To date, Tha Carter III has sold over 3.5 million copies.
Tha Carter IV is slated to drop August 29th.

We are delighted to report that the Portland Development Commission (PDC) supports the restoration of $1.1 million in funding for Leach Botanical Garden.
Special thanks to East Portland advocates, Leach Executive Director David Porter, the Garden Board of Directors, and Portland Parks & Recreation Director Mike Abbaté for their efforts in making this possible.
Leach Botanical is the only signature developed park east of Interstate 205. The Leach Board intends to use the public funding to begin to implement the master plan, starting with a new entrance and visitor's center. The City's investment is expected to leverage substantial private support.
Securing funding for Leach Botanical Garden reflects Nick's continuing commitment to bring equity to East Portland. It is a part of a larger vision we call E205.
We encourage you to bring your friends and family to visit Leach Botanical, Portland's secret garden.

The brand has become Britain's premier luxury label, its only superbrand. With its designer Christopher Bailey at the helm, Burberry is London's answer to Chanel.
Once, owning a Mulberry handbag was thought the epitome of middle-class good taste. Safely fashionable, but not overly so.
Over 200,000 Chinese shoppers will visit London this week and they are in search of top designer brands. China is now the number one international market to visit Westfield London.
While both Amal Alamuddin and the Duchess of Cambridge are equally adept at looking chic and fashionable, it seems Amal is outdoing Kate in every way.
So what is it about Chris Martin that women find so irresistible? The answer is that he has carved out a niche so specific that only he occupies it. This makes him catnip to rich women with liberal values.
Prince Harry, 30, and Cressida Bonas, 25, were spotted out on a date at the Kensington Odeon the day after his birthday. Wearing casual leggings and trainers, she was seen leaving on her own.
The hats of milliner Philip Somerville have graced the heads of three generations of royal women: the Queen, Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cambridge.
If you're cursed with thin hair, like CATHERINE OSTLER, discreet extensions can offer a thicker head of hair but they aren't cheap; from £400 for real hair and £250 for monofibre.
Come next year and a new baby, the royal couple will live on the 'Riviera' of North Norfolk - and while its remoteness may be part of its appeal, so is its lively population of landed squires.
The blanket is having a moment, having been the toast of Burberry's autumn/winter show. But with the potential for looking like you've slept rough, are they acceptable outerwear?
When CATHERINE OSTLER sat down to write a recent assignment, which had no firm deadline, she soon found herself occupied with a multitude of seemingly important tasks.
Alexandra Tolstoy and Sergei Pugachev have been told they have to live on £10,000 a week after the High Court in London froze Mr Pugachev's assets. Russian authorities are investigating the collapse of his bank.
Although the Royal Family believe there is no point in throwing a big party for infants as they won't remember it, lucky Prince George has the Middletons, who make it their business - literally - to throw a good party.
The Duchess of Cambridge reportedly attended the school in West London with TV chef Rachel Khoo - who took notes for her when she was ill for a few days.
The Duchess of Cambridge has fitted her kitchen at Anmer Hall in Norfolk with American and German-built stainless steel appliances.
Kate opted for a new half-up, half-down style (left) as she visited a north London school yesterday, but not long into the visit her curls dropped dramatically (right).
It takes a team of four to produce classic numbers at £1,000 a pair - and a junior member of Palace staff has the job of making the shoes comfier.
Sicily exists in a freeze-frame hybrid of Visconti's The Leopard (fading aristocracy, crumbling palaces) and the dissolute glamour of The Godfather — well, it does for Catherine Ostler.
Those who have written off the romance underestimate not only Cressida's quiet tenacity, but also her formidable mother, Lady Mary Gaye Curzon.
Sitting in an airy West London drawing room decorated with exquisite good taste, Alexandra Tolstoy is busy telling me about her next house: a £12 million pile in Battersea.
The continued presence of Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend and the thought of attending the wedding of his best friend in Memphis next week appears to have given Cressida Bonas a fatal case of the jitters.
It is a sign of our affection for John Lewis that this Wednesday it reaches a milestone of 150 years, writes CATHERINE OSTLER.
Peacock have released a £1.99 dress - is this every bargain hunters dream or will it look and feel cheap? Catherine Ostler finds out.
Despite wearing a noticeably longer Catherine Walker coat and dress on her arrival in Australia, the Duchess of Cambridge still managed to be caught out by a gust of windy weather.
When Sophie Wessex (pictured with her husband and daughter, Louise) was pictured, red eyes brimful of tears and hugging a midwife in a Surrey hospital earlier this week, it was both touching and shocking.
Cressida, 25, is not a girl who wants to be seen to be waiting for the keys to Kensington Palace - and instead will move in to her first London flat at the end of the month.
You really couldn't make it up - Italian bulldozer of love and Sven ex Nancy Dell'Olio, and the Duchess of Cornwall's rakish little brother, the dashing adventurer-explorer Mark Shand.
To know how Fergie's feeling, one needs only to look at her yo-yoing waistline or her face. It's here the ups and downs of her emotional life are writ large.
The 'My Child First', or MCF brigade — as in, my child comes before your child, and certainly before all grown-ups — is on the rampage.
Zara Phillips proved herself the most down-to-earth of royal women when she stepped out just days before the birth of her first child.
From a £6,995 James Bond home cocktail kit and £5,430 Chanel handbag to a £645 leather domino set, here's a selection of fantastic presents - at fantastically expensive prices.
Known for having more lovers than anyone could count, Idina Sackville hosted wife-swapping parties in Africa at which she would allocate bedroom keys over a throw of the dice.
Emilia Jardine-Paterson (pictured with her husband David) and godfather William van Cutsem were among the godparents at today's ceremony.
F is for fruitcake... the top layer of Kate and William's booze-laden, iced white and cream wedding cake, which has been defrosted for the christening tea.
Individually they combine good looks, wealth and good breeding. Collectively they have conquered the worlds of business, sport, and even kissed a popstar.
Prince Harry looks to have fallen in love fast and hard with Cressida Bonas. And even if the wedding bells aren't quite ringing yet, it looks ever more likely they will at some stage, by CATHERINE OSTLER.
London is experiencing an influx of Chinese shoppers who are making the most of national holiday Golden Week to snap up designer brands in the UK.
You could forget about the gongs at the Emmys on Sunday night. Really, it was all about the gowns — even more so than at the Oscars.
Meet The Russians is a jolly fly-on-the-wall series that does little to challenge the stereotype of rich Russian London living.
The girls' hockey team bristle with teenage attitude and hormones — at least apart from the future Duchess of Cambridge, who is smiling sweetly, her hair swept up.
Bucking the celebrity trend of only wearing an outfit once, Princess Anne has reused in the extreme. Her record stands at 32 years, but who knows what's still in her closet, just waiting for a long-awaited outing.
Some of Kate and William's sensible married friends will desperately be hoping to be godparents to the future monarch. Among the candidates are Hugh and Rose Van Cutsem, left, and Kate's schoolfriend Alicia Fox-Pitt, right.
Just as we were waiting for one royal baby announcement, Buckingham Palace surprised us all with another: Zara Tindall, as they called her, is expecting a baby, writes CATHERINE OSTLER.
The wedding of Lady Melissa Percy, Duke of Northumberland's daughter, to William and Harry's great friend Thomas van Straubenzee (pictured together) is set to the society party of the year.
The word is that the first people to find out the sex, the hair colour, the weight, and the distribution of pudge and dimples of our future monarch will be Carole and Pippa Middleton.
The fashion world tripped over its platform shoes this week at the news that Mulberry's creative director Emma Hill had abandoned ship.
With her long legs and trim figure, Zara Phillips should have no problem putting together an outfit. But she usually wiggles into a dress too small or hacked off two inches of hemline. So the Mail has given her a makeover.
On the evidence of this very public display of affection on a London street after they had played tennis at the weekend, Pippa Middleton and her boyfriend Nico Jackson simply can't keep their hands off each other.
Here comes the bride - Ecclestone style. Bernie's elder daughter Tamara (pictured) is marrying Essex boy Jay Rutland in the South of France this weekend and she has promised it'll be 'really bling'.
She might do some charity work, and has a full-time job at a venture capital firm, but it seems Bea always finds time to meet her gang of A-list chums.

NBC's Bob Costas caught a lot of flak over his gun-control comments during his Sunday Night Football halftime commentary last week.
"If Bob really wants to rid sports of deadly weapons," wrote Mike Bianchi of the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel, "he should advocate a ban on Dwight Howard's free throws."

Talking the talk
• Greg Cote of The Miami Herald, after the salary-dumping Marlins announced they will play their first spring-training game on Feb.23: "So you have only 11 more weeks to create those angry, vitriol-filled signs that the club will order confiscated."
• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on Geneva (Pa.) College's 43-year-old freshman swingman: "He's at that awkward age for a basketball player — too old to play college ball, too young for the Knicks."
Hold your fire
West Virginia has ordered Jonathan Kimble — who dresses in buckskins as the Mountaineer mascot — to stop using his musket as a hunting weapon after he killed a black bear with it and posted pictures on Facebook.
Just be thankful Kimble isn't the mascot at some other place that issues weaponry — like, say, Army.

Different and delicious! Only change I made was to go even lighter on the cayenne as my hubby's not too fond of it. The sauce was very thick but I used no more than two tbsp milk to thin it out.

Absolutely delicious! I used gluten free puff pastry and had to bake at slightly lower temperatures. To be cow's milk free, I made the sauce with almond cream and a sheep cheese which is similar to mild cheddar. Thanks for sharing, Karen :)

very good! and easy! used boring old Basa, and it tasted great! I crimped the ends of the pastry, and the cooking times were spot on!
I found the cheese sauce way to thick and rich for me, but I ended up cracking open the roll, and putting the sauce directly on the fish, worked well! made for nov 2011 tag game

Delightful! The flavor of the pickles (I used baby kosher dills) with the fish, a perfect combination. I sauteed the onions for a few minuses first, to barely soften them. The cheese sauce was excellent. I used one cup of 1/2 and 1/2 and one cup of 1%milk and Cavender's all purpose Greek seasoning, my all time favorite secret ingredient. A beautiful presentation to wow your friends with, they'll think you went to Le Cordon Bleu! (They don't need to know how easy it was, right?)! Thanks, Karen!people found this review Helpful.

An update of a Christmas classic from Family Force 5
Alternative pop-rock band Family Force 5 releases their Christmas single, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" on November 18. True to form, Family Force 5 adds their signature electronic/dance/pop vibe to this interpretation of the holiday classic, complemented by their trademark over-the-top artwork.
Like many bands, the creation of the song all came down to the right inspiration. Unlike many bands, their inspiration revolved around some cheap green velvet from the basement. Derek Mount (a.k.a., "Chap Stique") explains: "We were sitting around the studio struggling to find the right sound until Riley (Friesen, producer) grabbed a cheap, velvet Christmas tree costume that was lying in his basement and gave it to Hollywood. As soon as he put on that ridiculous green suit, the rest of us started cracking up and then blared early 2000's hip-hop through his headphones so he could play along for inspiration. After a few minutes, Hollywood came up with a ghetto, bouncy beat and the track pretty much wrote itself. Once we had the pocket, the remaining parts felt very natural, and very Family Force 5."
The single drops just two days after the band wraps their 28-city "We Believe Fall Tour" with the Newsboys and 7eventh Time Down, closing out a dynamic year for the band. In October, they landed their first Hot AC/CHR No. 1 radio hit, "Let It Be Love" from their critically acclaimed album, Time Stands Still, that shot to the top of multiple album charts when it debuted Aug. 5 from Word Entertainment. Additionally, "BZRK (feat. KB)," the first music video from Time Stands Still, became the No. 1 most-viewed music video at MTV.com.
The band recently finished shooting its next highly anticipated video, "Sweep the Leg" and can be seen on Winter Jam 2015, which kicks off its 47-city run January 2. Family Force 5 will be joining label-mates Skillet, Francesca Battistelli, for KING & COUNTRY, Blanca, About A Mile and VERIDIA.

- News media sentiment and investor behavior (2014)
- This paper investigates the impact of news media sentiment on financial market returns and volatility in the long-term. We hypothesize that the way the media formulate and present news to the public produces different perceptions and, thus, incurs different investor behavior. To analyze such framing effects we distinguish between optimistic and pessimistic news frames. We construct a monthly media sentiment indicator by taking the ratio of the number of newspaper articles that contain predetermined negative words to the number of newspaper articles that contain predetermined positive words in the headline and/or the lead paragraph. Our results indicate that pessimistic news media sentiment is positively related to global market volatility and negatively related to global market returns 12 to 24 months in advance. We show that our media sentiment indicator reflects very well the financial market crises and pricing bubbles over the past 20 years.
- The broken buck stops here: embracing sponsor support in money market fund reform (2014)
- Since the 2008 financial crisis, in which the Reserve Primary Fund "broke the buck," money market funds (MMFs) have been the subject of ongoing policy debate. Many commentators view MMFs as a key contributor to the crisis because widespread redemption demands during the days following the Lehman bankruptcy contributed to a freeze in the credit markets. In response, MMFs were deemed a component of the nefarious shadow banking industry and targeted for regulatory reform. The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) misguided 2014 reforms responded by potentially exacerbating MMF fragility while potentially crippling large segments of the MMF industry. Determining the appropriate approach to MMF reform has been difficult. Banks regulators supported requiring MMFs to trade at a floating net asset value (NAV) rather than a stable $1 share price. By definition, a floating NAV prevents MMFs from breaking the buck but is unlikely to eliminate the risk of large redemptions in a time of crisis. Other reform proposals have similar shortcomings. More fundamentally, the SEC's reforms may substantially reduce the utility of MMFs for many investors, which could, in turn, affect the availability of short term credit. The shape of MMF reform has been influenced by a turf war among regulators as the SEC has battled with bank regulators both about the need for additional reforms and about the structure and timing of those reforms. Bank regulators have been influential in shaping the terms of the debate by using banking rhetoric to frame the narrative of MMF fragility. This rhetoric masks a critical difference between banks and MMFs – asset segregation. Unlike banks, MMF sponsors have assets and operations that are separate from the assets of the MMF itself. This difference has caused the SEC to mistake sponsor support as a weakness rather than a key stability-enhancing feature. As a result, the SEC mistakenly adopted reforms that burden sponsor support instead of encouraging it. As this article explains, required sponsor support offers a novel and simple regulatory solution to MMF fragility. Accordingly this article proposes that the SEC require MMF sponsors explicitly to guarantee the $1 share price. Taking sponsor support out of the shadows embraces rather than ignores the advantage that MMFs offer over banks through asset partitioning. At the same time, sponsor support harnesses market discipline as a constraint against MMF risk-taking and moral hazard.
- How does tax progressivity and household heterogeneity affect laffer curves? (2014)
- How much additional tax revenue can the government generate by increasing labor income taxes? In this paper we provide a quantitative answer to this question, and study the importance of the progressivity of the tax schedule for the ability of the government to generate tax revenues. We develop a rich overlapping generations model featuring an explicit family structure, extensive and intensive margins of labor supply, endogenous accumulation of labor market experience as well as standard intertemporal consumption-savings choices in the presence of uninsurable idiosyncratic labor productivity risk. We calibrate the model to US macro, micro and tax data and characterize the labor income tax Laffer curve under the current choice of the progressivity of the labor income tax code as well as when varying progressivity. We find that more progressive labor income taxes significantly reduce tax revenues. For the US, converting to a flat tax code raises the peak of the Laffer curve by 6%, whereas converting to a tax system with progressivity similar to Denmark would lower the peak by 7%. We also show that, relative to a representative agent economy tax revenues are less sensitive to the progressivity of the tax code in our economy. This finding is due to the fact that labor supply of two earner households is less elastic (along the intensive margin) and the endogenous accumulation of labor market experience makes labor supply of females less elastic (around the extensive margin) to changes in tax progressivity.
- Fitting parsimonious household-portfolio models to data (2014)
- US data and new stockholding data from fifteen European countries and China exhibit a common pattern: stockholding shares increase in household income and wealth. Yet, there is a multitude of numbers to match through models. Using a single utility function across households (parsimony), we suggest a strategy for fitting stockholding numbers, while replicating that saving rates increase in wealth, too. The key is introducing subsistence consumption to an Epstein-Zin-Weil utility function, creating endogenous risk-aversion differences across rich and poor. A closed-form solution for the model with insurable labor-income risk serves as calibration guide for numerical simulations with uninsurable labor-income risk.
- "Non qua servus est, sed qua homo." Der rechtliche Status von Sklaven bei Luis de Molina (2014)
- Luis de Molina (1535-1600) grants slaves a legal status through which they can take up a position with respect to their masters between equivalent legal entity and legal object. Here, what is decisive is the figure of the subjective right, which both for Molina and modern proponents of this legal concept describes the 'right per se'. According to Molina's definition of ius, the denial of a subjective right or the hindrance of exercising an individual right represents an injustice. The rights granted to a slave in virtue of his being regarded a human being (despite the condition of slavery) serve to protect the slave against unjust acts. Molina does not distinguish the slave as a legal entity as separate from his master insofar as the slave should be protected against injustices committed against him or his property; injustices for which he would be entitled to compensation. Yet, the slave is not able to stake his claim to a particular right because it is not possible for him to take the matter to court. His natural law justified coequal legal status with respect to his master is limited in such a way by the positive legal order (by means of which slavery is generally made possible) that he is to be held legally incompetent as a legal entity with regard to defending and enforcing his 'qua homo'-legal rights. This precarious situation is due to the complicated legal intermediate position of a human legal entity, which, at the same time, represents the legal object of another person.
- Ein Fall der technisierten Gesellschaft: BGH, Urteil vom 24.1.2013 – III ZR 98/12, BGHZ 196, 101 – Ausfall des Internetzugangs (2014)
- Der Bundesgerichtshof hat im vergangenen Jahr entschieden, dass es "einen ersatzfähigen Vermögensschaden darstellen [kann] , wenn dem Inhaber eines DSL-Anschlusses die Möglichkeit genommen wird, seinen Zugang zum Intern et zu nutzen, ohne dass ihm hierdurch Mehraufwendungen entstanden oder Einnahmen entgangen sind" (BGHZ 196, 101). Eine techniksoziologische Analyse dieser Rechtsprechung zum vermögensrechtlich bestimmten, abstrakt berechneten Nutzungsausfallersatz legt demgegenüber eine andere Begründung des Anspruchs auf Nutzungsentschädigung nahe. Der alternative Leitsatz lautet: Wird dem Inhaber eines Internetanschlusses die Möglichkeit genommen, seinen Zugang zum Internet zu nutzen, so ist ihm auch wegen eines hier durch hervorgerufenen immateriellen Schadens eine billige Entschädigung in Geld zu gewähren .
- Mobilitätsverhalten von Heranwachsenden und Möglichkeiten zur Bindung an den ÖPNV : eine Synthese des Forschungsstandes von deutschsprachiger und internationaler Forschungsliteratur (2014)
- Während aktuelle empirische Daten Hinweise auf einen Wandel der Mobilitätsorientierung von Jugendlichen und Heranwachsenden in Agglomerationen liefern, ist im ländlichen Raum der Trend zur individuellen Motorisierung ungebrochen. Die vorliegende Synthese des Forschungsstandes deutschsprachiger und internationaler Forschungsliteratur stellt Erkenntnisse zum Mobilitätsverhalten und zu mobilitätsbezogenen Einstellungen sowie bisher durchgeführte Maßnahmen zur Beeinflussung des Mobilitätsverhaltens von Personen in der Altersgruppe bis ca. 27 Jahre vor.
- MAIN: Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (2012)
- The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) was designed in order to assess narrative skills in children who acquire one or more languages from birth or from early age. MAIN is suitable for children from 3 to 10 years and evaluates both comprehension and production of narratives. Its design allows for the assessment of several languages in the same child, as well as for different elicitation modes: Model Story, Retelling, and Telling. MAIN contains four parallel stories, each with a carefully designed six-picture sequence. The stories are controlled for cognitive and linguistic complexity, parallelism in macrostructure and microstructure, as well as for cultural appropriateness and robustness. The instrument has been developed on the basis of extensive piloting with more than 550 monolingual and bilingual children aged 3 to 10, for 15 different languages and language combinations. Even though MAIN has not been norm-referenced yet, its standardized procedures can be used for evaluation, intervention and research purposes. MAIN is currently available in the following languages: English, Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bulgarian, Croatian, Cypriot Greek, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Standard Arabic, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Welsh.
- The dynamics of crises and the equity premium (2014)
- There has been a considerable debate about whether disaster models can rationalize the equity premium puzzle. This is because empirically disasters are not single extreme events, but long-lasting periods in which moderate negative consumption growth realizations cluster. Our paper proposes a novel way to explain this stylized fact. By allowing for consumption drops that can spark an economic crisis, we introduce a new economic channel that combines long-run and short-run risk. First, we document that our model can match consumption data of several countries. Second, it generates a large equity risk premium even if consumption drops are of moderate size.
