... Entonces, si la mezcla productiva de un país está diversificada, en el sentido de que representa un portafolio de riesgos negativamente correlacionados, un país no pierde mucho al entrar a un área monetaria. Corden (1972) y más recientemente Masson y Melitz (1990) señalan que, de ser afectados por shocks similares, dos países pueden querer tomar respuestas diferentes, acordes con sus preferencias. Eliminadas las diferencias productivas, las diferencias en preferencias son un problema a resolver. ...

... In the case of the developing countries Visser (2008); Quinio (2009) and Crescembini (2011), found that there were ten major general drivers for CSR in developing countries; those drivers can be classified into internal drivers and external drivers. ...

... Those who are heavily involved in conventional activities will simply not have enough time to engage in delinquent or criminal behaviors (Payne and Salotti, 2007, p. 555). Other studies also assured that the person involved in conventional activities (working hours, plans, appointment, etc.) have had less opportunity to commit deviant acts (Cullen and Agnew, 2006;Viladimir, 2016;Huhata, 2012;Christiana, 2011;Freeman, 1996;Becker and Mulligan, 1997;Fajnzylber et al., 2002;Lochner and Moretti, 2004). ...

... Career decidedness and career indecision are opposing concepts, where decidedness indicates that the individual is committed to a career choice he/she wants to pursue, and indecision, where the individual has not chosen any career path to pursue (Martincin & Stead, 2015;Walsh & Osipow, 2014). Career indecision is also linked to psychological issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and self-efficiency (Pond, 2010). Are high school students with disabilities not able to make career decisions due to anxiety or low self-esteem? ...

... Educators should create a "developmental bridge" to support students' current sense of self that "invites them to become something more" (Torres & Baxter Magolda, 2004, p. 335). For instance, Dalton (2010), focusing on the composition classroom, advocated the use of writing as a pedagogical strategy to help student veterans perceive what they can and should achieve. Writing and dialogue, facilitated through a community of practice, may (better) support women student veterans as they "participate in the creation of new ways of being" (Huber, Murphy, & Clandinin, 2003, p. 351). ...

... In the study by Ivwighreghweta and Onoriode (2012) found that open access articles receive twice as many citations as articles behind pay barriers, and the advantage is sustained over time. Peter (2004) stated that some are more skeptical, attributing the results to "early view effect" (open access articles were online earlier) and selection bias (better articles, or better authors giving them open access). But the vast majority of studies show that open access results in more citations and possibly greater article impact, which in turn can affect tenure and promotion decisions. ...

... The food that we eat is closely linked to cultural codes, and it is precisely this which enables food to become a good indicator of identity (Crouch & O'Neill, 2000). Foods especially traditional dishes became assets for identity formation that allow the community to hold on to its local knowledge (Gvion, 2006 Timothy, 2016) and sustainability (Guerrero et al., 2009;Palladino, 2010;Ratnasingam, 2010;Yurtseven, 2011) as attributes that help the formation of a national identity, as it is essential to recognized nationalism and national identity. ...

... Research in Mozambique found that over and above a number of activities supporting child soldiers to recover from the trauma of their involvement in conflict, 'the need of the former child soldiers to be accepted by their families and communities after the war' was seen as the most pressing (Benotman and Malik 206,54). To facilitate this DDR programmes have focused on sensitising and strengthening local communities to prevent stigmatisation of children associated with or directly involved in previous conflicts (Reed 2010;Veale and Stavrou 2003). Therefore, 'community sensitization campaigns, community works projects and outward support of traditional community rites were some of the most important activities related to the successful recovery of many of the former child soldiers' in Mozambique (Boothby et al. 2006, 89). ...

... Webcasting technology has been deemed by some as the world's newest "celestial jukebox." 26 If webcasting streams were exempt from the royalties in the same way jukeboxes are, internet stations could merely pay licensing fees to artists. Not only would this policy simplify the law that applies to internet radio, it would, "prevent the sort of double dipping that many believe the RIAA seeks" (Myers). ...

... The term 'jihad' is identified as an armed struggle against the enemies of Islam, including non-Muslim nations and the existing heads of Muslim states who have replaced God's authority with theirs (Gerges, 2006;Rabasa et al., 2010). Ideological terrorist actions are seen by scholars as a form of reaction towards perceived social situations, including relative deprivation (Gurr, 1970;Love, 2009;Post et al., 2003;Post, 2007;Rose, 1982;Runciman, 1966;Walker & Smith, 2001). ...
