Funding information systems

May 1998 · Fund Raising Management

P Rux

Funding is an on-going, not just a one-time start-up, challenge. If we want to add "bells and whistles" to reap a full return on our hefty investments in basic computing and telecommunication structures, we need to think about funding as an integral, on-going part of our information systems.

Introduction: Towards a Public Criminology

January 2016

Roger Matthews

There has been a recent shift of emphasis towards making social scientific investigation more policy relevant. University departments and funding bodies are increasingly using terms like ‘impact’, ‘deliverables’ and ‘outputs’ and more frequently aim to identify the beneficiaries of research studies. There has also been an important and timely debate in the social sciences about developing a ... [Show full abstract] ‘public criminology’ that is able to contribute to contemporary policy debates (Burawoy 2004; Currie 2007). Some leading criminologists have argued that the criminological industry is becoming increasingly socially and politically irrelevant and has little to contribute to the major debates on crime and justice (Austin 2003; Cullen 2011). Others have put the case for making criminology more policy oriented by asking ‘What is to be done?’ (Burawoy 2005, 2008). This debate raises important questions about the role of the academic researcher.

Agricultural Trilateral Cooperation: A Case Study of the FAO + China + Host Country Model

January 2019

Trilateral cooperation, especially on the model of “traditional donors (including developed countries and multilateral development agencies) + emerging donors + developing countries,” has become a bridge linking South–North cooperation and South–South cooperation. This trilateral cooperation model can also contribute to improving the effectiveness of international aid and constructing new global ... [Show full abstract] development partnerships. China is actively involved in trilateral cooperation, working with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to promote agricultural development in developing countries. The model of “FAO + China + host countries” has built up a mature system and mechanism to promote agricultural cooperation through dispatching Chinese agricultural experts and benefiting from FAO’s administrative platform. The model offers agricultural technology and piloting programs at local level, such as districts and villages in developing countries. Over the past decades, China’s role has been transformed from technology provider to funding, technology and administration provider, and the Trust Fund model piloted by China has extended the financing, participation of emerging donors, and accountability of host countries in international development cooperation.

Implicit Debt in Public‐Sector Pension Plans: An International Comparison

April 2012 · International Social Security Review

Most countries have separate pension plans for public‐sector employees. The future fiscal burden of these plans can be substantial as the government usually is the largest employer, pension promises in the public sector tend to be relatively generous, and future payments have to be paid out directly from government revenues (pay‐as‐you‐go) or by funded plans (pension funds) which tend to be ... [Show full abstract] underfunded. The valuation and disclosure of these promises in some countries lacks transparency, which may hide potentially huge fiscal liabilities to be passed on to future generations of workers. In order to arrive at a fair comparison between countries regarding the fiscal burden of their public‐sector pension plans, this article recommends that unfunded pension liabilities should be measured and reported according to a standard approach for reasons of fiscal transparency and better policy‐making. From a sample of Member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, the size of the net unfunded liabilities as of the end of 2008 is estimated in fair value terms. This fiscal burden can also be interpreted as the implicit pension debt in fair value terms.

PUBLICIZÁCIA PRÁVNEJ REGULÁCIE OBCHODOVANIA

Abstrakt v rodném jazyce Právna regulácia obchodovania má dominujúco súkromnoprávny charakter, avšak exestuje nemalo prípadov, keď verejná moc z rôznych dôvodov zasahuje do obchodovania a právnou reguláciou ustanovuje špecifické pravidla obchodovania. Verejnoprávnou reguláciou obchodovania sa určujú pravidlá obchodovania pre vybrané subjekty, najmä pre tie, ktoré majú verejnoprávny charakter ... [Show full abstract] alebo ktoré podnikajú pod dohľadom, či nad podnikaním, ktorých sa vykonáva dozor, resp. tie, ktoré pri obchodovaní používajú prostriedky z verejných zdrojov. Okrem toho je predmetom verejnoprávnej regulácie obchodovania s určitými komoditám, organizovanie obchodovania na určitých obchodných miestach, respektíve organizovanie vybraných trhov. Klíčová slova v rodném jazyce Obchodovanie, dohľad nad podnikaním, ekonomická sila, hrozba zneužitia ekonomickej sily, verejné obstarávanie, zákaz obchodovania, uvádzanie komodit na trh, obchodná licencia, cenová regulácia. Abstract The civil character dominates the legal regulation of trading. However, there are some cases where a public authority intervenes in trading for certain reasons and through legal regulation stipulates specific rules for trading. Statutory regulation of trading determines the trading rules for selected subjects, especially for those which have a statutory character or for those which run a business under supervision or under control, i.e. for those which use public funds while trading. Besides this, the subject of the statutory regulation of trading with certain commodities is also the organisation of the trading at specific locations, or the organisation of specific markets.

Need to ensure the financing of conservation

November 2012

J.M. Morera Bosch

In the past fifteen years, the Spanish roadways network has undergone widespread development, fundamentally owing to the funds transferred from the European Union. This has forced a notable increase in conservation expenditure in order to preserve this wealth of roadways and maintain the roads at acceptable safety levels. However, the crisis that the country is experiencing has made it necessary ... [Show full abstract] to reduce the current expenditure of the Administrations in order to contain the high levels of deficit that Spanish accounts have been carrying. The budgets of the Development Ministry have been drastically cut back and, consequently, so have those for the conservation of the Roadways Network. This article, for the sake of ensuring stable financing for the conservation of this network, proposes the application of a pay-per-use tax or toll in an important part of the network. It calculates the likely cash flows within a reasonable set of hypotheses and demonstrates that these would be sufficient to achieve the ends being pursued. Finally it conducts an analysis of the advantages and drawbacks of the system.

Bang for the Buck: California Court Processing and Budget Allocations: 1976–1986

December 1993 · The Social Science Journal

We collected California data by county involving total criminal justice system budgets, law enforcement budgets, court budgets, and the total number of criminal justice system personnel for the years 1976 through 1986. Rates of change for each county variable were calculated and compared to determine: (1) which criminal justice agency benefited the most from increases in funding at the system ... [Show full abstract] level, and (2) which branch of the court system had the greatest rate of increase in productivity due to increases in operating budget. We found that law enforcement received the greatest share of increases in the criminal justice system budgets, and lower courts produced the greatest increases in productivity due to increase in budget. We concluded that the court system, and specially the superior court system represent a bureaucratized institution, and state legislature attempts to improve the functioning of the court system by allocating additional funds, most often produce little positive change in operations.
