[1] It has long been believed that there is a relationship between a society‟s culture and its ability to produce and sustain democratic forms of government. The ancient Athenians maintained that their democracy depended, in part, on the fostering of “civic virtue” or democratic culture. Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and J. S. Mill also maintained that culture and democracy were related, ...

A basic question of 4-manifold topology is whether the complex projective plane, CP admits exotic smooth structures. Thus one is interested in knowing the smallest m for which CP#mCP 2 admits an exotic smooth structure. In the late 1980’s, Dieter Kotschick [K] proved that the Barlow surface, which was known to be homeomorphic to CP#8CP 2 , is not diffeomorphic to it. In following years the subj...

Using an administrative data set containing daily information on individual workers’ employment histories, we investigate how workers’ labour market transitions are affected by international outsourcing. In order to do so, we estimate hazard rate models for match separations, as well as for worker flows from employment to another job, to unemployment, and to nonparticipation. Outsourcing is fou...
