Sam Rayburn and New Deal Legislation, 1933-1936Turner, David P. 08 1900 (has links)
Sam Rayburn's record as Speaker of the House was undoubtedly his best known accomplishment during fifty years in Congress. Nevertheless he played a vital role as proponent of the New Deal during the period from 1933 to 1936 when he was Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Since Rayburn's role in passage of early New Deal statutes has been neglected, the purpose of this thesis is to examine his contributions to the Roosevelt Administration as leader in the debates on key legislation.

Vad är Euroskepticism? : What is Euroscepticism?Haxha, Engjell January 2019 (has links)
The focus of this study was to examine what euroskepticism stands for and what it is. Euroskepticism has been a marginal phenomenon under some long time but in the later years the definition of euroskepticism has become a mainstream definition. This definition has become in a longer extent a way to describe the dissatisfaction of the EU´s problems and crisis by the citizens of the European nation’s states. The studies approach point was to understand how Brexit went down, and what were the consequences that made this referendum a vote for the discontent of the elites in Brussels by the common man in United Kingdom. And if so, were the consequences something that could apply to euroskepticism, were the incitements of eurosceptic origin. When the study cleared this chapter about the timeline of Brexit then the study aimed for the consequences Brexit could have on euroscepticism and if euroscepticism would grow because of Brexit. This could only be explained by which deal UK would get from the European union. The results of the study demonstrate that in the end Brexit and the referendum was infused by the discontent of the lower classes in the community and by a notion that expressed itself in a way that was eurosceptic. The results demonstrated moreover that the eurosceptic as a definition has been a way to show the establishment that the losers of globalisations are there and their voices are going to get heard, and the voices are getting heard now through eurosceptic incitements and euroscepticism has become a banner of the common people.

Housing Markets, Government Programs, and Race during the Great DepressionKollmann, Trevor Matthew January 2011 (has links)
The thesis focuses on the role of race and poverty programs in influencing the housing market in the 1930s. I investigate claims that African American in-migration resulted in the decline of neighborhood property values in New York during the Great Depression. I find that contrary to the expectations of economists and government officials, African American migration initially increased housing values. However, this premium disappeared as the neighborhood was increasingly settled by African Americans.During the 1930s the federal and state governments introduced several programs designed to help people stay in their homes. In my analysis using U.S. Census data from 1920, 1930, and 1940, the results suggest that among the New Deal programs for non-farm households, the Federal Housing Administration was the only program that had a positive and statistically significant influence on the probability of home ownership for both white and black households. The Home Owners' Loan Corporation appears to have had no influence on home ownership rates. Among the farm programs, Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) grants are negatively associated with white farm home ownership rates, but had no statistically significant effect for black farmers which are consistent with previous findings that found the AAA spurred black out-migration from the rural south. Mortgage moratorium laws were associated with an increase in white farmers home ownership rates.Federal public housing for the poor was introduced during the New Deal. I examine how housing officials selected the location of public housing and measures the effect of public housing on surrounding contract rents in New York City between 1934 and 1940. I find that public housing was constructed in poor, crowded neighborhoods with nearby public transportation. My findings also suggest that public housing increased the share of contract rents throughout the city. The magnitude of the effect also appeared to not dissipate as the distance to public housing increased. However, my results suggest that the early public housing projects constructed by the Public Works Administration led to greater spillovers in in contract rents than the later projects constructed by the United States Housing Authority.

Thesis Abstract
Banks have done factoring for 10 years and have always viewed the operation as a self-compensatory and low-risk sort-term loan. Hoever, banks have suffered great credit losses in cases such as Procomp, Ya-Hsin and Everskill in recent years, which have made banks adopt a more careful approach when dealing this kind of business.
By collecting rules of factoring of some banks and making references to international practices, this research attemps to recognize alarming signs and builds a better warning system in the hope of reducing or avoiding potential Credit losses.
This warning system does audits from different approaches such as 3 major transaction subjects of factoring, 4 risk aspects, and 6 operation processes. It also uses analytical double-checking mechanism to audit the accuracy and rationality of each transaction from both the seller and the buyer, thus greatly reduces risks by detecting fake transaction at earliest possible time.
Key Words:
Factoring, Dispute, Fake deal, Risk Management.

The employment requirements of disabled persons : a study of the development of state supported employment provisionKleinschmidt, Timothy Paul January 2000 (has links)
This thesis deals with the historical background concerning the development of disability-related employment measures and the employment exclusion experienced by disabled persons. In particular, the enquiry focuses upon the early post-war period up until the introduction in 1997 of the New Deal for Disabled Persons. The thesis postulates that: 1. major policy shifts within the Employment Service Disability Services (ESDS) in the early 1990s did not sufficiently reflect the employment integration needs of disabled persons; in spite of a major social values shift, to welfare-to-work measures for disabled persons these measures proved to be problematic; problems existed because of the following three inter-related negative social factors; 3.1 lack of adequate neeeds assessment and response to disabled persons labour-market requirements; 3.2 lack of support for work capability enhancement; and 3.3 lack of suitable work-integrated environments,accessible jobs and adequate socially 'adjusted' working conditions. Although the study was carried out prior to the New Deal for Disabled Persons (NDDP), the main concerns raised by this study, regarding disabled persons labour market integration needs, would still appear to prevail. However, the post- NDDP developments and implications for the employment of disabled persons under the NDDP would require further research that is beyond the ambit of the present study which terminated prior to the introduction of the New Deal. The study examined national developments of disability policy of the Employment Service (ES), in the light of transitions within service philosophy during the 1990s. This took the form of a major shift on the part of policy makers of the 'position' of disabled persons to mainstream labour markets. Prior to the early 1990s, the position of disabled persons was largely one of relative labour-market marginality. Many disabled persons experienced social alienation, denoting exclusion from or restricted entry into employment, on terms that were often significant of a position of exploitative 'integration'. With the collapse in the 1980s and 1990s of the Keynes-Beveridge Welfare State, the outcome for disabled persons was a reconceptuality of their relationship to labour markets. This factor was driven by rising state-benefit dependency and decommodification. The perspective of the New Right, with its anti-statedependency ideology, ushered in a new regime wherein disabled persons were to be exposed to similar labour-market rigours as the non-disabled. While the two tier disability-employment regulatory system, set in place by Tomlinson (1942), remained relatively intact, the new requirements of what has been described as a 'Schumpeterian Workfare State' (Jessop, 1992,1994), ensured that the ES, Disability Service, faced a need for radical reform. It is the framework and conception of this revised approach, to disabled persons labour-market involvement, that constitutes the basis of the present study. The research ' contribution to disability and employment lies in the presentation of employment service users' own perceptions of the suitability of the ESDS. However debate presented, maintains that the fundamental relationship of disabled persons to employment, without corresponding change towards the social values perceptions of disabled persons, ensures that employment associated alienation will remain intact.

Venture capital deal selection in AustraliaPeters, Timothy Edward, Banking & Finance, Australian School of Business, UNSW January 2009 (has links)
All venture capital investments exhibit some form of asymmetric information. The seminal paper on the structure of venture investments, Kaplan and Stromberg (2004), investigates how venture capitalists use deal construction to control agency conflicts within funded deals and their associated internal, external and execution risks. Another key strand of the academic literature has reviewed the contractual arrangements venture capital firms reach, the process of venture capital selection and determinants of their success from a post-investment perspective (Fried and Hisrich (1994), Manigart, Vermeir and Sapienza (1996), Gompers and Lerner (2004), Wright and Robbie (1998)). This thesis also explores venture capital investment, albeit from a preinvestment standpoint. In contrast to Kaplan and Stromberg???s (2004) demonstration of the use of venture capital mechanisms to control agency issues, this research addresses how agency issues influence the final selection of potential investments by venture capitalists. Kaplan and Stromberg (2004) use post-funding metrics to capture risks, which influence post-contract design. From a pre-funding perspective, internal, external and execution risks are subjective, rare and difficult to measure. Nevertheless, this thesis uses pre-funding proxies to replicate these risks, some of which have direct empirical academic support. Information for sixtytwo deals, thirty-four funded and twenty-eight unfunded, was hand collected through a combination of surveys, interviews and consultation with five of Australia???s leading venture capital firms, and individuals from the Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (AVCAL) board and executive. The key results indicate that once past initial screening stages, investment proposals that have a higher likelihood of receiving venture investment are those that had prior government investment, and/or, where the entrepreneur has proposed the investment be through milestone tranches and where revenue is already being generated (for early stage ventures). The results suggest that venture capitalists tend to allocate capital to investments perceived as ???safer??? with respect to agency conflicts. More specifically, venture capitalists are more reliant on signals of quality and lower risk, such as government grants, restriction of capital outlay and prior revenue generation ??? all of which reduce associated levels of internal and execution risk in new ventures.
