On October 15, we met to listen to a presentation by Marques Griffin from ChevronTexaco. He gave an overview of the entire oil production process and gave an idea of what types of positions his company had available.

متن کاملWhy Do Chinese Households Save So Much?
Using a dataset that covers 5 decades (1960–2009), we show that the main determinants of China's household savings rate are disposable income (measured by its reciprocal) and the old-age dependency rate. The income growth rate and young age dependency rate have a limited role. Our findings support the Keynesian saving hypothesis instead of Modigliani’s life cycle hypothesis, although precaution...
متن کاملWhy so much stability ?
Niemi (1969), in an important but neglected paper, found that when orderings were drawn from a simulation based on the impartial culture, the greater the proportion of voter orderings that were single-peaked (a condition he called partial single-peakedness), the more likely was there to be a transitive group ordering. Niemi also found that the likelihood of transitivity increased with n, group ...
