Using both aggregate and bilateral remittances data in a panel data setting, the study demonstrates that this effect is robust and causal. Moreover, the econometric analysis reveals that remittance flows are more effective in channeling economic downturns than upswings from the sending countries to remittance-receiving economies. The analysis suggests that measures of openness and spillovers could be enhanced by accounting for the role of the remittances channel. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aEmigrant remittances 606 $aForeign exchange 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmigrant remittances. 615 0$aForeign exchange. 700 $aBarajas$b Adolfo$0984093 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452570403321 996 $aWorkers' remittances$92253844 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03104nam 2200649 a 450 001 9910785428803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-95291-9 010 $a9786612952913 010 $a90-04-19360-X 024 7 $a10.1163/ej.9789004188105.i-1088 035 $a(CKB)2670000000066435 035 $a(EBL)634982 035 $a(OCoLC)697175247 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000438178 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11305103 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000438178 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10449557 035 $a(PQKB)10734580 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC634982 035 $a(OCoLC)656213171 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004193604 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL634982 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10439230 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL295291 035 $a(PPN)174391501 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000066435 100 $a20100804d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aInquisitors and heretics in thirteenth-century Languedoc$b[electronic resource] $eedition and translation of Toulouse inquisition depositions, 1273-1282 /$fedited by Peter Biller, Caterina Bruschi, and Shelagh Sneddon 210 $aLeiden ;$aBoston $cBrill$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (1104 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in the history of Christian traditions,$x1573-5664 ;$vv. 147 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-04-18810-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $apt. 1. Introduction -- pt. 2. Edition and translation of Doat 25-26. 330 $aIn the study of inquisition and heresy in Languedoc the late thirteenth century is a dark hole. This book redresses this, providing an edition and translation of depositions of heresy suspects interrogated in Toulouse 1273-82, preserved in a copy of 1669. The book?s introduction investigates the history and reliability of this copy, and, together with the edition, illuminates the inquisitors and scribes who produced the original register. The edited text shows a Cathar hierarchy in exile in Italy, a Cathar revival in Languedoc, and its destruction by a re-launched inquisition. Inquisitors? questioning led to depositions which are extraordinarily colourful and lively, and in this they anticipate the circumstantial detail of the early fourteenth century depositions upon which Le Roy Ladurie?s famous Montaillou was based. 410 0$aStudies in the history of Christian traditions ;$vv. 147. 606 $aChristian heretics$zFrance$zLanguedoc$xHistory 607 $aLanguedoc (France)$xChurch history$yTo 1500 615 0$aChristian heretics$xHistory. 676 $a272/.20944809022 701 $aBiller$b Peter$020935 701 $aBruschi$b Caterina$f1968-$01497533 701 $aSneddon$b Shelagh$01497534 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785428803321 996 $aInquisitors and heretics in thirteenth-century Languedoc$93722715 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07217nam 22007211c 450 001 9910953572703321 005 20200115203623.0 010 $a9786611082765 010 $a9781472560049 010 $a1472560043 010 $a9781281082763 010 $a1281082767 010 $a9781847313546 010 $a184731354X 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472560049 035 $a(CKB)1000000000405758 035 $a(EBL)317923 035 $a(OCoLC)476111479 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000131184 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11148793 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000131184 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10016821 035 $a(PQKB)10102249 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1772694 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC317923 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09255781 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL317923 035 $a(UtOrBLW)BP9781472560049BC 035 $a(Perlego)810058 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000405758 100 $a20140929d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe cost of democracy$eparty funding in modern British politics$fK.

In recent years, row has followed row - from million-pound donations, to the so-called 'loans for peerages' affair. The question was the subject of an official investigation by Sir Hayden Phillips, whose blueprint for reform was produced in March 2007. This book charts the evolution of the party funding problem in recent years and explores the weaknesses of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, which was enacted in a vain attempt to clean up British politics. The book sets out a number of core principles which should inform the development of public policy in this field, and examines the different strategies for the implementation of these principles. Having regard to the experience of othercountries, including Canada, Germany and Sweden, a radical framework ofreform is proposed, designed to address the emerging crisis of party government with serious implications for democracy itself. The main concern is with the development of bold reform initiatives to encourage political parties to recruit and retain members, and give members rights in relation to the government and administration of these parties. This thoughtful yet hard-hitting account by one of the leading scholars in the field will be of interest to constitutional lawyers and political scientists, as well as journalists and those with an interest in the way we are governed 606 $aCampaign funds$zGreat Britain 606 $2Constitutional & administrative law 606 $aCampaign funds$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $aPolitical parties$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1997- 615 0$aCampaign funds 615 0$aCampaign funds$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a324.241/011 700 $aEwing$b K.
