This study examines the nonlinear impacts of four country risk indices on the debt‐growth nexus for 61 countries in a panel data framework. Our results show evidence of the different debt‐growth nexus under the different degrees of country risk. Under a high‐risk environment, a country's economic growth is harmed by raising its public debt. The negative effects public debt has on economic growth become weak under low political and financial‐risk environments, while an increase in public debt could help to stimulate economic growth under low composite and economic risk environments. In addition, the differences of countries' income and debt levels also lead country risks to have different effects on the debt‐growth nexus, suggesting that a country should borrow appropriately based on its current risk environments while improving economic performance.

The value of fringe benefits is imputed to respondents of the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey. Results show that earnings equations understate the importance of segmentation variables (size, industry, and unionization) on economic inequality. Questions the practice of using earnings data to make inferences about the nature of stratification in the US economy, given the way in which compensation practices have changed since WW2.

Due to falling fertility rates, the aging of the baby-boom cohort, and increases in life expectancy, the percentage of the population that is elderly is expected to increase rapidly in the United States and Japan over the next two decades. These fourteen essays show that, despite differences in culture and social and government structure, population aging will have many similar macro and micro effects on the economic status and behavior of the elderly in both countries. The most obvious effects will be on social programs such as public pension systems and the provision for medical needs of the

The analysis of international environmental regimes shows that positive political regulation beyond the nation-state is possible if certain institutional requirements are taken into account. In response to the argument of Fritz W. Scharpf, who points to structural barriers to positive regulation in the European Union, the article seeks to demonstrate that international environmental regimes that effectively correct market outcomes do exist, that the difficulty of forming those regimes is due not only to cooperation-inhibiting interest constellations, but also to specific implementation problems of positive regulation, & that these implementation problems can be diminished by institutional design. Governance without government is therefore not doomed to failure from the start. Adapted from the source document.

"Eine der Lücken in der Forschung über internationale Normen ist der Prozess, über den diese Normen auf der jeweiligen nationalen Ebene institutionalisiert und angenommen werden. Eine internationale Norm, die auf ihrem Weg durch unterschiedliche nationale (und sogar grassroots-)Ebenen navigieren muss, benötigt inländische Norm-Unternehmer, um vor Ort etabliert zu werden. Der Beitrag zeichnet die lokale Verankerung der UN-Norm zu Frauen, Frieden und Sicherheit in den Philippinen nach, die von einem Netzwerk von Frauen-Friedensorganisationen mit transnationalen Verbindungen - dem Netzwerk Women Engaged in Action on UNSCR 1325 (WE Act 1325) - vorangetrieben worden ist. Er geht den Anfängen dieses Netzwerks und seiner kollektiven Arbeit an der Formulierung des philippinischen Nationalen Aktionsplans zu Resolution 1325 wie auch den verschiedenen Initiativen zur Ausgestaltung der Norm auf lokaler Ebene nach. Auch widmet er sich der Arbeit der Mitglieder des Netzwerks, die letztlich ein aktiver Teil des Friedensprozesses im Land geworden sind. Da die auf Frauenbelange bezogenen Gesetze in den Philippinen das Bekenntnis des Landes zu seinen internationalen Verpflichtungen widerspiegeln, zeigt die Fallstudie auch, wie Frauenrechtsthemen und -belange institutionalisiert worden sind. Diese Institutionalisierung bereite den Weg dafür, dass ein Gender-Bewusstsein Teil der normativen Einstellung von Schlüsselakteuren des gesellschaftlichen Wandels geworden ist." (Autorenreferat)
