• Sommario/riassunto: Cricket, law and the meaning of life ...In a readable, informed and absorbing discussion of cricket's defining controversies - bodyline, chucking, ball-tampering, sledging, walking and the use of technology, among many others - David Fraser explores the ambiguities of law and social order in cricket. Cricket and the Law charts the interrelationship between cricket and legal theory - between the law of the game and the law of our lives - and demonstrates how cricket's cultural conventions can escape the confines of the game to carry far b

The Effect of Foreign Aid on Sub-national Development : A Quantile Regression Approach / / Dumebi Ochem

• Sommario/riassunto: This ePaper investigates the non-linear effects of geo-referenced World Bank aid projects on economic development at the sub-national level, measured as night-time luminosity. The data framework is based on a grid cell structure at a 0.5 x 0.5 decimal degree resolution, covering approximately 10,600 grid cells across 54 African countries, over the period of 1992 to 2014. This approach addresses endogeneity concerns associated with sample selection and reverse causality. Using a fixed effects quantile regression approach, I estimate the impact of foreign aid at distinct levels of development within countries. Overall, the results suggest a positive and statistically significant effect of aid on night-time luminosity, with the largest impact observed within relatively poorer grid cells. In addition, there is evidence of spill-over aid effects from neighbouring grid cells. These findings are however sensitive to different model specifications and variable transformations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master’s dissertations.

• Sommario/riassunto: Los suelos urbanos han sido y son motivo de estudio por parte de investigadores que tratan de aportar soluciones y líneas de trabajo para mejorar las formas de vida y la calidad de nuestro entorno. Así este trabajo parte, por un lado, del interés de un grupo de investigación que, desde años, ha puesto su mirada sobre el estado, condiciones funcionales y desarrollo de los suelos urbanos industriales que, hoy en día, se suman al concepto más amplio de AAE (empresariales, logísticas, comerciales o de desarrollo científico, tecnológico, ) y, por otro, del interés de la Administración Pública Provincial, la Diputación de Valencia, que, en este caso, ha apostado por la mejora permanente de las AAE en su marco territorial. Esta obra forma parte de una serie de tres volúmenes, donde el trabajo o se plantea como una colección de documentos con una temática general común, la renovación de las áreas de actividad económica. La lectura de los diferentes trabajos se puede realizar de forma individual, entendiendo cada volumen como un estudio específico de una determinada AAE de un municipio concreto, y también, como un ejemplo representativo de un ámbito urbanístico con unas características territoriales, urbanas, paisajísticas o de infraestructura concretas, que pueden servir como referencia a otros municipios con elementos en un contexto similar.

• Sommario/riassunto: What makes the Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions series stand out is its focus on all three characteristics that make up this research field - studies from scholars in different countries, with different research questions, relying on different theoretical perspectives. Such a broad, and inclusive, approach to mergers and acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates and metrics. The collections published each year provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars on a global scale. Doing so not only broadens the questions being studied, but also helps researchers consider the inter-relationships among different perspectives. In the final analysis, the best way to build understanding around a topic as diffuse as mergers and acquisitions is to be both integrative, and expansive, in choice of research questions and theoretical underpinnings. Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions offers this unique perspective, not easily found elsewhere, that will help scholars think about mergers and acquisitions in new ways, building our knowledge base on this critical topic.
