Forecast new home sales and prices: a case study for the United States

LIU, JING 24 August 2010 (has links)
A nation’s housing sector has been the cornerstone of economic activity over the past several years. Right now, the economy of the United States is in a recession. To recover the economy, activity in the U.S. housing market deserves more attention, especially the new home market. Economists in the United States believe that if new home sales could keep increasing in the future, recovery of the whole housing market, even the whole economy in the U.S., would be hopeful. To bring the hope closer to the reality, forecasting changes in the new home market is important. An accurate forecast can provide useful information for the future, so that proper planning can take peace. The purpose of this thesis is to look for an appropriate method which can accurately forecast changes in new home sales and prices in the U.S. housing market, so that policy makers base decisions on reliable information.

'Negotiated outcomes' : an ethnography of the production and consumption of a BBC World Service radio soap opera for Afghanistan

Skuse, Andrew January 1999 (has links)
This study examines the production and consumption of a BBC World Service soap opera called New Home, New Life that is produced for the radio listening public of Afghanistan. Ethnographic fieldwork was undertaken at the BBC's radio production unit in northern Pakistan and in Pashtun communities within rural and urban areas in south-east and central Afghanistan. Critically informed by a material culture perspective, this thesis promotes a relational approach to the study of mass media production and consumption, this being perceived to represent an advance on studies that ignore spheres of production in favour of audience consumption. The choices and resources that listeners invest in radio services is addressed from the standpoint of the structuring of relations of trust, which in turn is related to issues of popularity, conflict and domestic radio use. The structures and prosaic daily patterns of radio soap opera production are addressed, with analysis being deepened to examine the production definition and audience appropriation of the soap opera's fictive context and characters. Here, issues of episodic and melodramatic structure also come to the fore. The representation of politics and religion represents a critical aspect of production, consumption and BBC impartiality, yet beneath policy it is shown that a far more social and negotiated form of production occurs. Following this analysis, the issues of localisation, romance and producer-consumer articulations are considered. Finally, the sociality of the soap opera is traced through audience gossip and the impact that emotive storylines have upon male and female listeners. Here, the issues of gender and space emerge in analytical focus.

Betydelsen av chefens kön för möjligheten att avancera internt : En kvantitativ studie om könsskillnader i upplevda avancemangsmöjligheter och närmaste chefens kön

Trygg, Lina January 2017 (has links)
Under de senaste decennierna har den vertikala segregeringen på arbetsmarknaden och den låga representationen av kvinnor på chefsbefattningar fått stor uppmärksamhet. Den här studien syftar till att undersöka könsskillnader i upplevda interna avancemangsmöjligheter, där ett delsyfte har varit att undersöka om närmaste chefens kön korrelerar med upplevda avancemangsmöjligheter för män och kvinnor. Den teoretiska ståndpunkten utgår från vanliga förklaringar till könsskillnader i lön och avancemangsmöjligheter: homosocial reproduktion, diskriminering och new home economics. Studien baseras på datamaterial från Levnadsundersökningen 2010, där urvalet består av män och kvinnor med en anställning och som är i åldrarna 20 till 60 år. Resultatet visar att en större andel män än kvinnor upplever att de har stora interna avancemangsmöjligheter. Vid justering för klass, humankapitalfaktorer och arbetsrelaterade faktorer i en multivariat regressionsanalys visar resultatet inte på några signifikanta skillnader mellan könen i upplevda avancemangsmöjligheter. Vid separata regressioner för en manlig närmaste chef och en kvinnlig närmaste chef visar resultatet däremot att det existerar könsskillnader i upplevda interna avancemangsmöjligheter vid en kvinnlig närmaste chef, där kvinnor har lägre sannolikhet att uppleva stora interna avancemangsmöjligheter, justerat för olika humankapitalfaktorer och arbetsrelaterade faktorer. Anmärkningsvärt är dock att det inte går att finna några signifikanta skillnader i upplevda interna avancemangsmöjligheter mellan kvinnor och män vid en manlig närmaste chef, justerat för olika humankapitalfaktorer och arbetsrelaterade faktorer.
