April Fishing Report
Pompano! Extreme Pompano! The ocean has ignited with the
Spring Run! The silvers are everywhere. Where were they
all winter? After a mild winter who thought it would ever
start. This was the first year that I personally felt there
would be a very inconsequential bite. But ahoy mates its
a great time.
Solid reports from the Jupiter beaches thru the Dania Pier
have confirmed there are numerous schools of pompano moving
north. I personally never fish south of Singer Island. Recently
fished Palm Beach and the Lake Worth beaches and caught
those really beautiful 2 pound plus pomps! Those fat fish
that can be outdoor grilled whole and enjoyed with a fine
white wine or a really good beer. By the way pompano are
one of the healthiest fish you can eat.. The head is loaded
with nutritional tri-omega oil and the flesh is relatively
mercury free! These fish dine on shrimp, crabs, clams and
glass minnows. These food sources are not laden with the
mercury levels that bigger baits carry and influence the
larger fish we like to chase...
The April weather will continue to be immensely positive
to the length of the northern migration. Stacked with Northeasters
for the remainder of this month and cold air for the beginning
of May I am thankful..
The early a.m. bite has been solid big bluefish... They
definitely will bite sand fleas and Fish Bites without question.
The finger mullet are riding the interior swells and the
spinners and snook are cruising strong on their tails. A
major showing of nice whiting and croaker on the shoreline
breaks. The spanish mackeral are slicing and dicing the
minnows! Its worth the price of admission and admission
is free! Just get up and take all the appropriate gear you
have and be ready to target several species. Please don't
forget to include snook! Don't know the right lures and
or have the right tackle to cast those lures and or natural
bait the get the setups now! The Lott sales bro's are knowledgeable
in every aspect of the species you want to catch.. If u
love fishing get it done!
As we enter the new moon zone, get ready to make some adjustments
to the times you go fishing when it comes to the pomps.
The beginning few days of the "Full Fish Moon"
[a northern concept for the shad spawn] are potentially
all day bites for the migratory species. The snook will
appear early, early and 45 minutes before sunset. As we
enter the 1/2 moon the pompano bite will be absolute dim
light to 2 hours before sunset. The fuller the moon gets
the earlier and later the bite will be. The beauty of all
this is they will not be fussy about water color and or
wind. They are trimmed down for luggage and are going to
their northern homes. My job is to intersect them before
their gone. My prediction is a superb April with a great
Current baits of choice are easy... Blanched sand fleas
and fish bites when necessary. Here is the way I use synthetic
strips. I always if I can find them use the long lasting
strips that u can cut to the length u want. For me that
is one inch. You can trim and fashion them the way u want
but for me I like to cut them fat on the hook part and more
of a tail on the floating portion. The more stressed the
water is and I mean in the haziness of the ocean color the
more u should us Fish Bites. The clearer the water is than
use only bait.. Over colorizing your float rig with colorful
fish bite in gin clear water is only an advantage when its
getting dark outside. So far clams have been the secondary
bait and shrimp are tied for second. Clear water always

This is 100 % the best month of 2016 there can possibly
be for you to score all the fish I mentioned. Take some
time off. Its Spring! Tight Lines from Pompano Rich!
late summer when the bait is just starting to go north,
we have a kingfish run here in south Florida. My father
told me that in the past years this run hasn't been as good
as it was 15 to 25 years ago do to the netting that went
on in the 80's and early 90's. Since then netting has been
banned in Florida and the kingfish population is on the
This year and last year I haven't noticed many big kingfish
in the 50lb range, but what I have noticed is that there
are tons of king mackerel in the 5 to 20lb.range. Although
I have heard about the occasional "Smoker" this
past August I heard of probably a thousand or more "snakes"
caught. Almost anyone that I talked to that went fishing
out in the ocean this pat summer, was catching kingfish
on anything from jigs, live and dead bait, and event trolled
lures. This summer I caught about a half dozen on trolled
ballyhoo and live bait like greenies, goggle-eyes, sardines,
and menhaden
The kingfish tend to congregate around drop offs and wrecks
in any where from about 20 to 125ft. of water. They tend
to live in schools, although the 40 to 55lb. smokers have
been said to swim in pairs. They feed on anything from squid
to large baitfish such as goggle-eyes and blue runners.
There is an arsenal of angling methods used to catch these
fish. The way I like to use most is live chumming, because
it is more hands on and sometimes is known to catch more
fish. Another method that I have used while fishing with
my dad is slow trolling a big bait like a blue runner out
of and outrigger. This sometimes results in a bigger fish.
This is how I caught my biggest fish. You can also fish
off of a pier. Nice sized kingfish are known to come right
in by the pier and feed on the baits that are at the pier
for safety.
You can use lots of different kinds of tackle when fishing
for kingfish. You can use light tackle in the 12 to 20lb.
range. I prefer to use a 20 to 30lb. rod Lott Bros custom
rod with a shimano TLD 15, spooled with 475 yds of 20lb.
test line. I also use a G-Loomis 15 to 25lb. rod with the
same reel. Kingfish can also be caught on standup gear.
I suggest using anything in the 15 to 40lb. range, just
in case you hook into a "Smoker."
This is one of the most fun fish to fish for in my area
during the summer. I would recommend this to anyone young
or old. HAPPY FISHING. <*)))><

As the heat of September continues to cook, so does the
South Florida Wahoo season. Although Wahoo are caught
year-round, the most numbers and the largest fish are
targeted from June through September. Wahoo are a member
of the pelagic family of fish. They are super fast swinmmers,
strong fighters, and great to eat no matter how you cook
them. With the exception of some billfish, Wahoo are one
of the only fish to have a single species tournament,
such as The Bahamas Wahoo Championship.
factors such as bait supply along our coast (i.e large
schools of bonito and flying fish), and water temperatures
in the 80+ degree mark attract fish. Another key factor
is a good north current, which is usually present in the
summer, along with a full moon.
the dolphin bite slows down, offshore fisherman look for
an alternate plan. Surface rigs give way to sub surface
fishing with downriggers, planers, and the ever-popular
wire-line. Techniques change, such as trolling speed,
depth, and time, which all vary from angler to angler.
Highspeed artificial lures do well when trolled at 10
knots or above, and large well-rigged natural baits such
as split-tail mullet, bonito strips, or horse ballyhoo
trolled between 5 and 9 knots seem to be the most productive.
Wahoo will hit a variety of bait at various speeds, but
the most important factor is well-presented or good swimming
bait. If it doesn't look good to you, Wahoo probably won't
like it either.
A Wahoo's mouth is a cutting machine. The hinge of the
mouth passes its serrated teeth and depending on the size,
the scissor like action can sever a full size bonito in
half in one quick bit. Wire leader is a must for Wahoo
fishing, with number 9 being the preferred size, or 175
lb cable when using lures.
Wahoo are known for long, lightning fast runs, line capacity
and smooth drags are most important when choosing your
tackle. 4/0 sized reels with 40lb monofilament will handle
most situations just fine, however most serious Wahoo
fisherman choose 6/0 or 50lb class outfits for either
surface or subsurface baits.
are pack feeders, and on any day, with good conditions,
more than one bite can occur in single area. A GPS waypoint
or certain depth and landmarks allow one to work a productive
area. Telltale signs of fish such as active baitfish (i.e.
bonito or flying fish) and good clean water make for a
good place to start.
A good amout of Wahoo seem and caught have cut a hooked
bonito in half and then returned for the other piece.
Most of the fish that do this are over 50 lbs. Last summer,
I I weighed a Wahoo for another angler with a similar
story tipping the scale at 72 lbs.
at Lott Brothers tackle shop in North Palm Beach, I can
definitely tell you the Wahoo holds the most burnt drag,
burned thumb, lure crushing, line breaking, reel spooling,
one that got away stories than any other fish.

A new data set of educational attainment in the world, 1950-2010Robert J. Barro | Jong Wha Lee
Volume 104, Issue , September 2013, Pages 184-198
Our panel data set on educational attainment has been updated for 146 countries from 1950 to 2010. The data are disaggregated by sex and by 5-year age intervals. We have improved the accuracy of estimation by using information from consistent census data, disaggregated by age group, along with new estimates of mortality rates and completion rates by age and education level. We compare the estimates with our previous ones (Barro and Lee, 2001) and alternative measures (Cohen and Soto, 2007). Our estimates of educational attainment provide a reasonable proxy for the stock of human capital for a broad group of countries and should be useful for a variety of empirical work. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Income maximization and the selection and sorting of international migrantsJeffrey Grogger | Gordon H. Hanson
Volume 95, Issue 1, May 2011, Pages 42-57
Two prominent features of international labor movements are that the more educated are more likely to emigrate (positive selection) and more educated migrants are more likely to settle in destination countries with high rewards to skill (positive sorting). Using data on emigrant stocks by schooling level and source country in OECD destinations, we find that a simple model of income maximization can account for both phenomena. Results on selection show that migrants for a source-destination pair are more educated relative to non-migrants the larger is the absolute skill-related difference in earnings between the destination country and the source. Results on sorting indicate that the relative stock of more educated migrants in a destination is increasing in the absolute earnings difference between high and low-skilled workers. We use our framework to compare alternative specifications of international migration, estimate the magnitude of migration costs by source-destination pair, and assess the contribution of wage differences to how migrants sort themselves across destination countries. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Creative accounting or creative destruction? Firm-level productivity growth in Chinese manufacturingLoren Brandt | Johannes Van Biesebroeck | Yifan Zhang
Volume 97, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 339-351
We present the first comprehensive set of firm-level total factor productivity (TFP) estimates for China's manufacturing sector that spans China's entry into the WTO. For our preferred estimate, which adjusts for a number of potential sources of measurement error and bias, the weighted average annual productivity growth for incumbents is 2.85% for a gross output production function and 7.96% for a value added production function over the period 1998-2007. This is among the highest compared to other countries. Productivity growth at the industry level is even higher, reflecting the dynamic force of creative destruction. Over the entire period, net entry accounts for over two thirds of total TFP growth. In contrast to earlier studies looking at total non-agriculture including services, we find that TFP growth dominates input accumulation as a source of output growth. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
DiasporasMichel Beine | Frédéric Docquier | Çaǧlar Özden
Volume 95, Issue 1, May 2011, Pages 30-41
Migration flows are shaped by a complex combination of self-selection and out-selection mechanisms, both of which are affected by the presence of a diaspora abroad. In this paper, we analyze how existing diasporas (the stock of people born in a country and living in another one) affect the size and human-capital structure of current bilateral migration flows. Our analysis exploits a bilateral data set on international migration by educational attainment from 195 countries to 30 OECD countries in 1990 and 2000. Based on simple micro-foundations and controlling for various determinants of migration, we found that diasporas increase migration flows and lower their average educational level. Interestingly, diasporas explain majority of the variability of migration flows and selection. This suggests that, without changing the generosity of family reunion programs, education-based selection rules are likely to have moderate impact. Our results are highly robust to the econometric techniques, accounting for the large proportion of zeros and endogeneity problems. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
Aid, Dutch disease, and manufacturing growthRaghuram G. Rajan | Arvind Subramanian
Volume 94, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 106-118
We examine the effects of aid on the growth of manufacturing, using a methodology that exploits the variation within countries and across manufacturing sectors, and corrects for possible reverse causality. We find that aid inflows have systematic adverse effects on a country's competitiveness, as reflected in the lower relative growth rate of exportable industries. We provide some evidence suggesting that the channel for these effects is the real exchange rate appreciation caused by aid inflows. We conjecture that this may explain, in part, why it is hard to find robust evidence that foreign aid helps countries grow. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
Consumption risk, technology adoption and poverty traps: Evidence from EthiopiaStefan Dercon | Luc Christiaensen
Volume 96, Issue 2, November 2011, Pages 159-173
Much has been written on the determinants of technology adoption in agriculture, with issues such as input availability, knowledge and education, risk preferences, profitability, and credit constraints receiving much attention. This paper focuses on a factor that has been less well documented: the differential ability of households to take on risky production technologies for fear of the welfare consequences if shocks result in poor harvests. Building on an explicit model, this is explored in panel data from Ethiopia. Historical rainfall distributions are used to identify consumption risk. Controlling for unobserved household and time-varying village characteristics, it emerges that not just ex ante credit constraints, but also the possibly low consumption outcomes when harvests fail, discourage the application of fertilizer. The lack of insurance or alternative means of keeping consumption smooth leaves some trapped in low return, lower risk agriculture, one of the mechanisms through which poverty perpetuates itself in agrarian settings. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
The (evolving) role of agriculture in poverty reduction-An empirical perspectiveLuc Christiaensen | Lionel Demery | Jesper Kuhl
Volume 96, Issue 2, November 2011, Pages 239-254
The role of agriculture in development remains much debated. This paper takes an empirical perspective and focuses on poverty, as opposed to growth alone. The contribution of a sector to poverty reduction is shown to depend on its own growth performance, its indirect impact on growth in other sectors, the extent to which poor people participate in the sector, and the size of the sector in the overall economy. Bringing together these different effects using cross-country econometric evidence indicates that agriculture is significantly more effective in reducing poverty among the poorest of the poor (as reflected in the $1-day squared poverty gap). It is also up to 3.2 times better at reducing $1-day headcount poverty in low-income and resource rich countries (including those in Sub-Saharan Africa), at least when societies are not fundamentally unequal. However, when it comes to the better off poor (reflected in the $2-day measure), non-agriculture has the edge. These results are driven by the much larger participation of poorer households in growth from agriculture and the lower poverty reducing effect of non-agriculture in the presence of extractive industries. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Migrant networks and foreign direct investmentBeata S. Javorcik | Çaǧlar Özden | Mariana Spatareanu | Cristina Neagu
Volume 94, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 231-241
Although there exists a sizeable literature documenting the importance of ethnic networks for international trade, little attention has been devoted to studying the effects of migrants on foreign direct investment (FDI). The presence of migrants can stimulate FDI by promoting information flows across international borders and by serving as a contract enforcement mechanism. This paper investigates the link between the presence of migrants in the US and US FDI in the migrants' countries of origin, taking into account the potential endogeneity concerns. The results suggest that US FDI abroad is positively correlated with the presence of migrants from the host country. The data further indicate that the relationship between FDI and migration is stronger for migrants with tertiary education. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Do remittances promote financial development?Reena Aggarwal | Asli Demirgüç-Kunt | Maria Soledad Martínez Pería
Volume 96, Issue 2, November 2011, Pages 255-264
Workers' remittances to developing countries have become the second largest type of flows after foreign direct investment. This paper uses data on remittance flows to 109 developing countries during 1975-2007 to study the link between remittances and financial sector development. In particular, we examine the association between remittances and the aggregate level of deposits and credit intermediated by the local banking sector. This is an important question considering the extensive literature that has documented the growth-enhancing and poverty-reducing effects of financial development. We provide evidence of a positive, significant, and robust link between remittances and financial development in developing countries. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Measuring subjective expectations in developing countries: A critical review and new evidenceAdeline Delavande | Xavier Giné | David McKenzie
Volume 94, Issue 2, March 2011, Pages 151-163
The majority of economic decisions are forward-looking and thus involve expectations of future outcomes. Understanding the expectations that individuals have is thus of crucial importance to designing and evaluating policies in health, education, finance, migration, social protection, and many other areas. However, the majority of developing country surveys are static in nature and many do not elicit subjective expectations of individuals. Possible reasons given for not collecting this information include fears that poor, illiterate individuals do not understand probability concepts, that it takes far too much time to ask such questions, or that the answers add little value. This paper provides a critical review and new analysis of subjective expectations data from developing countries and refutes each of these concerns. We find that people in developing countries can generally understand and answer probabilistic questions, such questions are not prohibitive in time to ask, and the expectations are useful predictors of future behavior and economic decisions. The paper discusses the different methods used for eliciting such information, the key methodological issues involved, and the open research questions. The available evidence suggests that collecting expectations data is both feasible and valuable, suggesting that it should be incorporated into more developing country surveys. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
The microeconomic determinants of emigration and return migration of the best and brightest: Evidence from the PacificJohn Gibson | David McKenzie
Volume 95, Issue 1, May 2011, Pages 18-29
A unique survey which tracks worldwide the best and brightest academic performers from three Pacific countries is used to assess the extent of emigration and return migration among the very highly skilled, and to analyze, at the microeconomic level, the determinants of these migration choices. Although we estimate that the income gains from migration are very large, not everyone migrates and many return. Within this group of highly skilled individuals the emigration decision is found to be most strongly associated with preference variables such as risk aversion and patience, and choice of subjects in secondary school, and not strongly linked to either liquidity constraints or to the gain in income to be had from migrating. Likewise, the decision to return is strongly linked to family and lifestyle reasons, rather than to the income opportunities in different countries. Overall the data suggest a relatively limited role for income maximization in distinguishing migration propensities among the very highly skilled, and a need to pay more attention to other components of the utility maximization decision. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
Where does microfinance flourish? Microfinance institution performance in macroeconomic contextChristian Ahlin | Jocelyn Lin | Michael Maio
Volume 95, Issue 2, July 2011, Pages 105-120
We study whether and how the success of microfinance institutions ("MFI"s) depends on the country-level context, in particular macroeconomic and macro-institutional features. Understanding these linkages can make MFI evaluation more accurate and, further, can help to locate microfinance in the broader picture of economic development. We collect data on 373 MFIs and merge it with country-level economic and institutional data. Evidence arises for complementarity between MFI performance and the broader economy. For example, MFIs are more likely to cover costs when growth is stronger; and MFIs in financially deeper economies have lower default and operating costs, and charge lower interest rates. There is also evidence suggestive of substitutability or rivalry. For example, more manufacturing and higher workforce participation are associated with slower growth in MFI outreach. Overall, the country context appears to be an important determinant of MFI performance; MFI performance should be handicapped for the environment in which it was achieved. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
The long-run impact of bombing VietnamEdward Miguel | Gérard Roland
Volume 96, Issue 1, September 2011, Pages 1-15
We investigate the impact of U.S. bombing on later economic development in Vietnam. The Vietnam War featured the most intense bombing campaign in military history and had massive humanitarian costs. We use a unique U.S. military dataset containing bombing intensity at the district level (N = 584) to assess whether the war damage led to persistent local poverty traps. We compare the heavily bombed districts to other districts controlling for district demographic and geographic characteristics, and use an instrumental variable approach exploiting distance to the 17th parallel demilitarized zone. U.S. bombing does not have negative impacts on local poverty rates, consumption levels, infrastructure, literacy or population density through 2002. This finding indicates that even the most intense bombing in human history did not generate local poverty traps in Vietnam. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
What makes growth sustained?Andrew Berg | Jonathan D. Ostry | Jeromin Zettelmeyer
Volume 98, Issue 2, July 2012, Pages 149-166
We identify structural breaks in economic growth in 140 countries and use these to define "growth spells:" periods of high growth preceded by an upbreak and ending either with a downbreak or with the end of the sample. Growth spells tend to be shorter in African and Latin American countries than elsewhere. We find evidence that growth duration is positively related to: the degree of equality of the income distribution; democratic institutions; export orientation (with higher propensities to export manufactures, greater openness to FDI, and avoidance of exchange rate overvaluation favorable for duration); and macroeconomic stability. © 2011 Internatinal Monetary Fund.
Informal employment in developing countries: Opportunity or last resort?Isabel Günther | Andrey Launov
Volume 97, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 88-98
There is an ongoing debate among researchers and policy makers, whether informal sector employment is a result of competitive market forces or labor market segmentation. More recently it has been argued that none of the two theories sufficiently explains informal employment, but that the informal sector shows a heterogenous structure. For some workers the informal sector is an attractive employment opportunity, whereas for others - rationed out of the formal sector - the informal sector is a strategy of last resort. To test the empirical relevance of this hypothesis we formulate an econometric model which allows for several unobserved segments within the informal sector and apply it to the urban labor market in Côte d'Ivoire. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
The effect of armed conflict on accumulation of schooling: Results from TajikistanOlga Shemyakina
Volume 95, Issue 2, July 2011, Pages 186-200
This paper uses differences in regional and temporal exposure to the 1992-1998 armed conflict in Tajikistan to study the effect of violent conflict on schooling outcomes. Data on the past damage to a household's residences from the 1999 Tajik Living Standards Survey is used as well as data on the events during the conflict within a conceptual framework that controls for important individual, household and community characteristics. Girls who were of school age during the conflict and lived in affected regions were less likely to complete their mandatory schooling than girls of the same age who lived in the regions relatively unaffected by conflict. The results also indicate that exposure to violent conflict had a large and statistically significant negative effect on the enrollment of girls. No effect of regional and household conflict exposure on education of boys was found. The results are robust to community and household fixed effects, selection into violence and migration. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Internal finance and growth: Microeconometric evidence on Chinese firmsAlessandra Guariglia | Xiaoxuan Liu | Lina Song
Volume 96, Issue 1, September 2011, Pages 79-94
Using a panel of 79,841 Chinese firms over the period 2000-2007, we examine the extent to which liquidity constraints affect firms' assets growth. We find that state owned enterprises are not affected, while the availability of internal finance represents a binding constraint for the growth of private firms, especially those operating in coastal regions, with negligible foreign ownership. Thanks to their high productivity, cash flow is, however, so abundant for these firms that they are able to grow at a very fast rate, despite being discriminated against by financial institutions. Hence, well developed external capital markets may not always be needed for fast economic growth. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
The role of extensive and intensive margins and export growthTibor Besedeš | Thomas J. Prusa
Volume 96, Issue 2, November 2011, Pages 371-379
We investigate and compare countries' export growth based on their performance at the extensive and intensive export margins. Our empirical approach is motivated by an extension to the Melitz (2003) model of heterogeneous firms in which exporters are subject to a one-time sunk cost and also a per-period fixed cost. With imperfect information a firm may enter export markets but shortly exit when it learns its per-period fixed costs. We apply this insight to disaggregated export data and confirm that indeed most export relationships are very short lived. We then show that the survival issue is a significant factor in explaining differences in long run export performance. We find that developing countries would experience significantly higher export growth if they were able to improve their performance with respect to the two key components of the intensive margin: survival and deepening. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Return migration, human capital accumulation and the brain drainChristian Dustmann | Itzhak Fadlon | Yoram Weiss
Volume 95, Issue 1, May 2011, Pages 58-67
In this paper we present a model that explains migrations as decisions that respond to where human capital can be acquired more efficiently, and where the return to human capital is highest. The basic framework is a dynamic Roy model in which a worker possesses two distinct skills that can be augmented by learning by doing. There are different implicit prices, in different countries and different rates of skill accumulation. Our analysis contributes to the literature on the selection of immigrants and return migrants by offering a richer framework that may help to accommodate selection of emigrants and return migrants that are not immediately compatible with the one-dimensional skill model. Our analysis also has implications for the debate on brain drain and brain gain. In the two skills model presented here, return migration can lead to a mitigation of the brain drain, or even the creation of a "brain gain", where those who return bring the home country augmented local skills. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Multilateral resistance to migrationSimone Bertoli | Jesús Fernández-Huertas Moraga
Volume 102, Issue , May 2013, Pages 79-100
The rate of migration observed between two countries does not depend solely on their relative attractiveness, but also on the one of alternative destinations. Following the trade literature, we term the influence exerted by other destinations on bilateral flows as Multilateral Resistance to Migration, and we show how it can be accounted for when estimating the determinants of migration rates in the context of a general individual random utility maximization model. We propose the use of the Common Correlated Effects estimator (Pesaran, 2006) and apply it to high-frequency data on the Spanish immigration boom between 1997 and 2009. Compared to more restrictive estimation strategies developed in the literature, the bias goes in the expected direction: we find a smaller effect of GDP per capita and a larger effect of migration policies on bilateral rates. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Estimating domestic content in exports when processing trade is pervasiveRobert Koopman | Zhi Wang | Shang Jin Wei
Volume 99, Issue 1, September 2012, Pages 178-189
For many questions, it is crucial to know the extent of domestic value added (DVA) in a country's exports, but the computation is more complicated when processing trade is pervasive. We propose a method for computing domestic and foreign contents that allows for processing trade. By applying our framework to Chinese data, we estimate that the share of domestic content in its manufactured exports was about 50% before China's WTO membership, and has risen to nearly 60% since then. There are also interesting variations across sectors. Those sectors that are likely labeled as relatively sophisticated such as electronic devices have particularly low domestic content (about 30% or less). © 2011.
Methods of household consumption measurement through surveys: Experimental results from TanzaniaKathleen Beegle | Joachim De Weerdt | Jed Friedman | John Gibson
Volume 98, Issue 1, May 2012, Pages 3-18
Surveys of consumption expenditure vary widely across many dimensions, including the level of reporting, the length of the reference period, and the degree of commodity detail. These variations occur both across countries and also over time within countries, with little current understanding of the implications of such changes for spatially and temporally consistent measurement of household consumption and poverty. A field experiment in Tanzania tests eight alternative methods of measuring household consumption, finding significant differences between consumption reported by the benchmark personal diary and other diary and recall formats. Under-reporting is particularly apparent for illiterate households and for urban respondents completing household diaries; recall modules measure lower consumption than a personal diary, with larger gaps among poorer households and for households with more adult members. Variations in reporting accuracy by household characteristics are also discussed and differences in measured poverty as a result of survey design are explored. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
The political economy of linguistic cleavagesKlaus Desmet | Ignacio Ortuño-Ortín | Romain Wacziarg
Volume 97, Issue 2, March 2012, Pages 322-338
This paper uses a linguistic tree, describing the genealogical relationship between all 6912 world languages, to compute measures of diversity at different levels of linguistic aggregation. By doing so, we let the data inform us on which linguistic cleavages are most relevant for a range of political economy outcomes, rather than making ad hoc choices. We find that deep cleavages, originating thousands of years ago, lead to better predictors of civil conflict and redistribution. The opposite pattern emerges when it comes to the impact of linguistic diversity on growth and public goods provision, where finer distinctions between languages matter. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Does school autonomy make sense everywhere? Panel estimates from PISAEric A. Hanushek | Susanne Link | Ludger Woessmann
Volume 104, Issue , September 2013, Pages 212-232
Decentralization of decision-making is among the most intriguing recent school reforms, in part because countries went in opposite directions over the past decade and because prior evidence is inconclusive. We suggest that autonomy may be conducive to student achievement in well-developed systems but detrimental in low-performing systems. We construct a panel dataset from the four waves of international PISA tests spanning 2000-2009, comprising over one million students in 42 countries. Relying on panel estimation with country fixed effects, we estimate the effect of school autonomy from within-country changes in the average share of schools with autonomy over key elements of school operations. Our results suggest that autonomy affects student achievement negatively in developing and low-performing countries, but positively in developed and high-performing countries. These estimates are unaffected by a wide variety of robustness and specification tests, providing confidence in the need for nuanced application of reform ideas. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
On graduation from fiscal procyclicalityJeffrey A. Frankel | Carlos A. Vegh | Guillermo Vuletin
Volume 100, Issue 1, January 2013, Pages 32-47
In the past, industrial countries have tended to pursue countercyclical or, at worst, acyclical fiscal policy. In sharp contrast, emerging and developing countries have followed procyclical fiscal policy, thus exacerbating the underlying business cycle. We show that, over the last decade, about a third of the developing world has been able to escape the procyclicality trap and actually become countercyclical. We then focus on the role played by the quality of institutions, which appears to be a key determinant of a country's ability to graduate. We show that, even after controlling for the endogeneity of institutions and other determinants of fiscal procyclicality, there is a causal link running from stronger institutions to less procyclical or more countercyclical fiscal policy. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

3 500 metres of tracks.
The Outdoor Display is the highlight of every InnoTrans show. Vehicles can be presented on tracks, which are located directly adjacent to the exhibition halls. From high-speed trains to hybrid locomotives; from road-rail vehicles to trams – this is where manufacturers present their new products to the trade public. It is also where vehicles are handed over to their operators. This is the place to experience hands-on technology.
Special Gauge
The Outdoor Display area is a unique feature of InnoTrans and in 2014 an additional highlight was added. For the first time in addition to ten standard gauge tracks a Special Gauge Display provided an area for showcasing wide-gauge and narrow gauge vehicles. InnoTrans can now thus cater for further vehicle gauges, offering the industry even more opportunities to present its rail vehicles to an international audience in Berlin.
Bus Display
For the first time InnoTrans offers the Bus Display at the Sommergarten for bus manufacturer who shows their public transport buses not just static, further it is possible to drive at the Demonstration Course together with trade visitors.
At the InnoTrans Virtual Market Place you can also find our complete list of vehicles of InnoTrans 2016.

In the world of IPOs, money can be made fast and lost even faster. If companies do not perform as expected, or high hopes and dreams make way for more sober "real" news and figures, then their share prices will subsequently drop.
The following is a list of 3 companies which should be dropped immediately before their share prices do. For those with a bit more conviction, these stocks are good short candidates as well.
Pandora Media (NYSE:P)
What can I say? I dislike the advertising business model. I dislike the low barrier of entry to the internet radio space. I dislike the fickle nature of "free" users who will jump ship to the next "free" thing as it suits them. I dislike the lack of content, lack of "hook" and reliance on a mobile internet delivery system which just is not ready for them yet, and will not be for years to come. To top it all off, I think they will have a bear of a time competing with free over-the-air radio, and the satellite radio giant SiriusXM (NASDAQ:SIRI).
Consider the following 1 year chart:
Notice the bearish triangle with support at $10 and steadily decreasing resistance? Bad news. With earnings scheduled for March 6th, the stock could turn south shortly after and head towards $10 again. Dump it. Or if you have conviction, buy puts or short the stock.
Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN)
Groupon is another "dislike" from me. Based around a concept of offering local deals on products and services at a fraction of the price, it is fast becoming a failed experiment. Groupon depends on local businesses to subscribe to their model and see real value from their "investment" through participation in Groupon's low priced deals. Businesses just aren't seeing the value in returning customers based upon their "sell at a loss" deals.
Groupon, thanks for saving me a bit of cash, but I used you to get some cheap food and products and now I'm done with you. Consider the following 1 year chart :
Notice again, a bearish triangle with a couple of blips above and below. Support is roughly $18.5 and resistance is steadily decreasing. At a current share price of $19.20 and Q4 earnings coming in 5 cents below analyst estimates, Groupon is flirting with dangerous territory here. Toss Groupon into the trash with your weekly circular and get out while you still can. This is also a prime candidate for put options or for shorting.
Yelp (NYSE:YELP)
Ouch. This stock just had its IPO on Friday. How can anyone be saying to dump it so soon, or even worse, suggest shorting it? If the stock had options available, I'd buy puts too.
The writing is on the wall for this one. This was an IPO of $15, run up to $24.58 in a single day. Virtually every single tech IPO posts a huge pop to start, and then drops significantly soon after. Look at Pandora and Groupon above for evidence. Look at Linkedin (NYSE:LNKD). Yelp is a fitting name for this company, as those who just bought in on the IPO may find themselves yelping in pain as their wallets catch on fire and money burns away.
For the sake of uniformity, here's Yelp's 1 day chart from Friday:
Take a good long look at these prices, because I expect the share price to move south in short order from here. If you bought in, I hope you bought in below the close of $24.58. Drop it before it takes you down with it.
With an IPO, especially a tech IPO, more often that not it is important to get in, and get out just as fast. Take some gains, and let others do the speculating. Give the stock a few months and see where it goes from there and then re-enter if you are comfortable. Throwing money at the new guy is a poor move -- didn't we learn back in 2000?
Disclosure: I am long SIRI.
Additional disclosure: I may initiate a short position in P or GRPN at any time through the purchase of put options.

Jake's Deli tailoring menu for Grand Avenue location

Packers fans: Are you suited for reality TV?
Reality TV fans may be getting a dose of Wisconsin culture soon with a show focused on Wisconsin's faithful football fans. Apparently producers from the Style Network were in Green Bay on Friday looking for the most vivacious Cheeseheads to cast for a pilot to be filmed by the end of the year.
Packers wives are currently featured in "The Better Half" on WLUK-TV (Channel 11) in five Wisconsin TV markets, but the NBCUniversal-owned Style Network would bring Packer pride to a cable TV audience on the heels of shows like "Jerseylicious" and "Big Rich Texas." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Planned Parenthood Promotes Prayer Event For Libs To Pray For More Abortions…
Planned Parenthood abortion business officials in Ohio are looking for volunteers to pray at a prayer event. A prayer to increase the abortion business… because 1.21 abortions a year in the US is not a big enough holocaust of humanity to satisfy the bloodlust of feminist baby killers.
Via LifeNews:
No, Planned Parenthood is not asking people to pray for an end to abortion in the way pro-life advocates pray at prayer events like 40 Days for Life. Instead the abortion giant is hoping Buckeye State residents will pray for more abortions.
As this Planned Parenthood announcement indicates, the abortion corporation wants people to join an abortion activist who is calling for prayer in response to the state's refusal to expand Obamacare, which funds abortion and sends taxapayer dollars to the abortion giant. Planned Parenthood seeks people who think their religion calls on them to pray for "reproductive health," which is a euphemism for abortion.
I have never felt so disgusted. The gall that these murder shops think they could even qualify to sequester God for more murder business is extraordinary. My only conclusion is that they are not praying to the God of Moses, Isaac or Abraham but to the god of darkness, Lucifer himself.

- i never EVER write reviews but have received this dress and am amazed. i had very low expectations of quality and fit (despite all the reviews i read). it arrived yesterday and i was surprised how heavy the material actually was and by how forgiving the dress is..... i was expecting a heavy investment in magic knickers but no, it skims in all the right places and makes me look like 2 sizes smaller. the cut is generous and the material quality is good. Quite frankly am absolutely amazed and have just ordered another in a different colour. if you have any doubts, put to one side and order it - i would be very surprised if you are anything less than delighted.
lovely dress
- more than 3 year(s)
- I bought my dress in lilac it is lovely unfortunately it is big for me :( but nothing a dress maker cannot handle.
If you worried about the quality or if the dress will not look like the picture don't be.
Just worry about getting the correct measurements so go to a professional and get them to measure you.
Great service !! Very good quality
- more than 3 year(s)
- I ordered this dress for a Christmas wedding. Was looking for a dark Green customer service send me an actual Fabric catalog photo. The dress fit was perfect, quality very good. I was expecting such a good outcome. Although i had put some wait on hips and waste i went for size 4 instead of 6 and it was perfect. Only minor adjustment i had to make was on breast as am a bit smaller. Nothing hard to fix. Overall amazing dress!!!
The best dress I've ever seen!
- First of all I want to thank staff of this high quality shop. Great communication and helpfulness of staff is a great advantage of the shop.
As for the dress all words of admiration have been told. That's why it remains only to join to all positive feedbacks. I've ordered custom color - ivory, and I'm really satisfied with it. Everything is perfect: seams, cut, quality of the fabric. I'm very pleased with the purchase. If you got any doubts, don't waste your time for reflection and buy it asap.
beautiful dress
- I ordered a ready made size 4 and got it in one week! The dress is beautiful and it fits me perfectly!
Absolutely stunning dress!
- more than 5 year(s)
- Amazing quality! Fully lined and the fabric was first class! I ordered a size 6 and I did have to get it altered but it wasn't a problem only cost a few dollars! Does run a bit big so I recommend look at the website measurments and order one size smaller! I ordered my second dress from the company a gold Taylor Swift number I can't wait to see how amazing it is! Great company, excellent craftsmanship:)
Fab Dress, so beautiful
- Fab dress, only took 2 weeks to receive, excellent material, very same dress as seen on film, perfect colour, best buy ever..:)
- more than 3 year(s)
- I ordered this in black and the dress just arrived after exactly 3 weeks! The fabric is great quality and the craftsmanship is stunning! Really well made dress, sooooo glad i bought it! It will just need some minor adjustments to the straps as my bust size is a bit smaller but nothing too demanding!
Thank you so much, i'm very happy with it! :)
Gorgeous dress
- All I can say is that I was amazed by how beautiful this dress is. I wore it for my registry wedding. Risky as I have never ordered custom made dresses online. Looked simple yet stunning. Got many compliments. Have already ordered another dress and will continue too!
- I ordered this dress for the marine ball and it was perfect. So unique and yet everyone recognized this awesome dress from the movie.
Great dress & fast shipping
- I'm absolutely amazed with this website. I ordered this dress 2 weeks ago and it has already arrived! And I live in Brazil!! The fabric is the softest thing and the quality of the dress is overall great. Thank you!
good quality
- I ordered this dress for my daughters prom and was very happy with what I received. We did have to some major alterations done on it (too long, waist was too long, straps needed to be shortened) but that wasnt the dresses fault. We received the dress very quickly and was happy with the quality and color...she received soo many compliments throughout the night and looked amazing!
Love my dress
- Ordered this dress for my college senior formal and it is just as I expected!! I have been in love with this dress since I first saw the movie, and now I can have it all for myself! Fast shipping, great quality, would definitely recommend it to anyone considering buying it! However, they recommend buying one size smaller because it runs big, however, if you are slightly larger in the bust, order your normal size because it sits to high if you order one size smaller. It is easier to have it altered when it is a hair big than a hair too tight in the boobs!!!
Timing was awesome...
- Timing was awesome...It does look to be made very well and the color is amazing. I can't wait to wear it!
An amazing dress just like in the film
- Item arrived as described and well packaged. An amazing dress just like in the film.Thanks!
- the dress is JUST like the movie. i got it a size too big though so i am definitely having to alter it, but that was my own fault. great shipping!
- I recently purchased this dress for my senior prom. It shipped in one week which is great! The dress is GREAT quality and absolutely beautiful! I bought the right size, however it is a tad loose-but that's not the dress's fault. It's better to have too loose than too tight (You can always alter it). I love this dress, Thank You!!
- I just received this dress last week. I was mostly surprised as my iniitial enquiries regarding this dress before ordering were answered to me within 24 hours. Living in Victoria, Australia - I wasn't quite sure on how long the shipping and delivery process would take. From the moment I placed this order I received my dress within 6 business days. This dress is just beautiful - plain - but exactly what the picture describes. The sewing is of very high quality, the fabric is amazing - overall, I would recommend this dress to anyone who like me just loved it the very first time I lay eyes on it.
My only concern was sizing - but with only minor alterations with the straps (which were slightly too big) I definitely made the right decision with the size I ordered. My measurements were in between sizes 2 & 4, and I decided to order the size 2. Best choice. I hope this helps others when ordering.
A very satisified customer.
- I received this dress promptly and it is perfect. I got in ivory and am planning on wearing for my wedding. Straps were a bit long and a bit big in bust but easily fixed...overall this is perfect. I compared it to the original that prices at 695.00. Very similiar!! Love Love Love it!!!
Lovely and soft
- I must say I was aware about a size and a quality but the dress is really nice. It is well made, the fabric is good and so soft and the tail flows amazingly after you! The shipment was wow...not even one week - express. I need to make some small adjustments on the sides below the armpits since the material does not adhere to the body and sticks out a bit but that's not a problem. It is adorable, I am looking forward for the party next week to wear it:)

Hello, currently the dress seems to be only available in the original yellow color and the standard sizes 2-10. I was hoping to order it in a dark navy and maybe in custom measures.

Alumni Spotlight: Avery Nickerson
Friday, October 21, 2016
What year did you graduate and with what Major/Minor? I graduated in May 2015 with a BA in Marine Science and a minor in Chemistry. What is your hometown? Leawood, Kansas Where are you now and what are you doing? I'm in New York City at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. I spent part of the last year working as a legal intern for Hillary For America and I am currently a legal intern for the Innocence Project. What was your favorite thing about dept/usd? My favorite thing about USD was the Marine Science department. My favorite thing about the Marine Science department was everything: the professors, my classmates, the classes, and the fieldtrips. I have never met anyone that compares to the professors I had during my time at USD. Their dedication, passion, and enthusiasm are unmatched. They brought us donuts for study sessions, came in on weekends to help us review for finals, planned exciting fieldtrips, helped us plan for the future, and, most importantly, took the time to get to know us (the students) as individuals. The Marine Science professors truly care about each students' success and growth. I specifically remember coming into a professor's office after receiving a less than ideal grade and he helped me work through every single problem until I understood my mistakes. Moreover, I could see he was just as concerned about my performance on the exam as I was and that he genuinely wanted to help me improve- I will never forget that meeting. I wish my words could do these amazing people justice. My classmates were absolutely fantastic. They were diverse, interesting, intelligent, creative, and kind. I truly believe I had the best graduating class ever. We studied together, worked on projects together, and hung out outside of class. We were a group of friends who cheered each other on, laughed with each other, and cried when we had to say goodbye after graduation. I still keep in contact with many of my classmates. I know that each and every one of them will do amazing things. The classes and the field trips were engaging, challenging, and enriching. Most of what I learned about science, I learned in the field. The USD Marine Science department's commitment to hands-on learning is what makes it unique. My favorite memories from undergrad all are from our fieldtrips: camping in the desert, dropping grabs off the side of a boat, snorkeling around Mission Bay, kayaking in La Jolla cove, and getting to hold a live horn shark (this is easily my favorite memory). Words cannot express how grateful I am that I chose to study Marine Biology at USD. How did your degree from Environmental and Ocean Sciences (or MARS) help prepare you for what you are doing? The great thing about the MARS degree is that it is incredibly inclusive- students learn chemistry, biology, geology, geochemistry, ecology, oceanography, physics, policy, public speaking, etc. On a logistical level, the subject matter that falls under the MARS umbrella qualified me to take the Patent Bar Exam in order to become a patent agent/patent law attorney (which is one of my ultimate goals). On a broader scale, my MARS degree helped me develop the skills necessary to think critically, come up with creative solutions, and ask thoughtful questions. Because I learned to develop and conduct experiments during my time at USD, I was trained to think in a logical, deliberate, and novel way. Both of my legal internships specifically hired me because of my science background. Employers see my science degree and recognize that I will bring a unique perspective to their projects. I've especially used my tools and resources from MARS while working for the Innocence Project, where I work to find evidence to exonerate wrongly convicted people using DNA testing. My experience with reading scientific literature, developing experimental strategies, and paying close attention to detail has given me a better understanding of forensic science and DNA test results. Furthermore, I believe the rigorous and challenging course work prepared me for my 1L year. MARS taught me how to study effectively, discuss complex information, and develop working relationships with colleagues. What advice do you have for current undergraduates? Be open to change. You will have classes and professors that completely change your life, so be open to exploring new goals and career paths. Be interested. Even if you expect a class to be boring or think you won't like the subject, give it a chance. Ask questions. A bad grade is not the end of the world. It is not a reflection of who you are or what you learned. The most important thing is working as hard as you can, learning both inside and outside the classroom, and truly taking in this experience. Get to know your professors. Seriously, they're the best people. Take every opportunity presented to you. You never know where it will lead and what you will learn. Be present. These are four amazing years during which you will work hard, meet wonderful people, struggle, grow, create memories, and learn things that you will carry with you for the rest of your life.

Wellington:New Zealand will host Pakistan for a three-Test series from late November after the Black Caps cancelled their tour to the troubled country over security fears.
New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan said on Tuesday that the Test series would follow four one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches between the two countries in the United Arab Emirates.
New Zealand backed out of a planned full tour to Pakistan after gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in March, killing eight Pakistanis and injuring seven members of the touring squad.
Vaughan told commercial radio the venues for the three Tests were yet to be decided, and New Zealand's variable weather in early summer had to be taken into account.
"First-class cricket would have been going for a little while, so we're not talking about a ridiculously early start for the series," Vaughan said.
"But the weather here in December can be fickle, so we probably need to be mindful of that."
Pakistan will cover the costs associated with New Zealand hosting the series, but will also retain the television rights for the series, he said.
New Zealand will also host tours by Bangladesh and Australia over the southern hemisphere summer.
