RULES OF THE GAME: CENTRAL BANK INDEPENDENCE DURING THE INTERWAR YEARS
In: International organization, Band 50, Heft 3, S. 407-443
ISSN: 0020-8183
CENTRAL BANK INDEPENDENCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH RESTRICTIVE MONETARY CHOICES THAT CAN BE DEFLATIONARY WITHIN FIXED EXCHANGE-RATE REGIMES. BECAUSE CENTRAL BANKS ACT TO COUNTER-ACT DOMESTIC INFLATION, THEY PUT A PREMIUM ON DOMESTIC PRICE STABILITY AT THE EXPENSE OF INTERNATIONAL MONETARY STABILITY. EVIDENCE FROM FIFTEEN COUNTRIES BETWEEN 1925 AND 1938 SHOWS THAT THE MORE INDEPENDENT CENTRAL BANKS TOOK MORE DEFLATIONARY POLICIES THAN WERE NECESSARY FOR EXTERNAL ADJUSTMENT. CENTRAL BANKS IN GENERAL WERE MORE RESTRICTIVE UNDER LEFT-WING GOVERNMENTS THAN THEY WERE UNDER MORE CONSERVATIVE REGIMES AND OFTE WERE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN REQUIRED FOR EXTERNAL EQUILIBRATION. THIS SUGGESTS THAT POLICIES OF INDEPENDENT CENTRAL BANKS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE DOMESTIC PRICE STABILITY MAY FORCE DEFLATIONARY PRESSURES ONTO OTHER STATES IN THE SYSTEM AND POTENTIALLY DESTABILIZE A FIXED EXCHANGE-RATE REGIME.

Zwischen 1925 und 1938 haben die mehr unabhängigen Zentralbanken fünfzehn ausgewählter Länder eine restriktivere Geldpolitik durchgeführt als andere. Damit konnte zwar die interne Stabilität, gemessen an der Geldwertstabilität, in diesen Ländern gesichert werden, doch ist damit aufgrund positiver Konjunkturtransmission deflationärer Druck auf andere Länder ausgeübt worden, der ein System fester Wechselkurse gefährden kann. Dieses Ergebnis spricht damit gegen unabhängige Zentralbanken in einem fixen Wechselkurssystem. (SWP-Wil)

Psychosocial drivers of land management behaviour: How threats, norms, and context influence deforestation intentions
Understanding how private landholders make deforestation decisions is of paramount importance for conservation. Behavioural frameworks from the social sciences have a lot to offer researchers and practitioners, yet these insights remain underutilised in describing what drives landholders' deforestation intentions under important political, social, and management contexts. Using survey data of private landholders in Queensland, Australia, we compare the ability of two popular behavioural models to predict future deforestation intentions, and propose a more integrated behavioural model of deforestation intentions. We found that the integrated model outperformed other models, revealing the importance of threat perceptions, attitudes, and social norms for predicting landholders' deforestation intentions. Social capital, policy uncertainty, and years of experience are important contextual moderators of these psychological factors. We conclude with recommendations for promoting behaviour change in this deforestation hotspot and highlight how others can adopt similar approaches to illuminate more proximate drivers of environmental behaviours in other contexts.

Evaluation of Take‐Home Exposure and Risk Associated with the Handling of Clothing Contaminated with Chrysotile Asbestos
In: Risk analysis: an international journal, Band 34, Heft 8, S. 1448-1468
ISSN: 1539-6924
The potential for para‐occupational (or take‐home) exposures from contaminated clothing has been recognized for the past 60 years. To better characterize the take‐home asbestos exposure pathway, a study was performed to measure the relationship between airborne chrysotile concentrations in the workplace, the contamination of work clothing, and take‐home exposures and risks. The study included air sampling during two activities: (1) contamination of work clothing by airborne chrysotile (i.e., loading the clothing), and (2) handling and shaking out of the clothes. The clothes were contaminated at three different target airborne chrysotile concentrations (0–0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter [f/cc], 1–2 f/cc, and 2–4 f/cc; two events each for 31–43 minutes; six events total). Arithmetic mean concentrations for the three target loading levels were 0.01 f/cc, 1.65 f/cc, and 2.84 f/cc (National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety [NIOSH] 7402). Following the loading events, six matched 30‐minute clothes‐handling and shake‐out events were conducted, each including 15 minutes of active handling (15‐minute means; 0.014–0.097 f/cc) and 15 additional minutes of no handling (30‐minute means; 0.006–0.063 f/cc). Percentages of personal clothes‐handling TWAs relative to clothes‐loading TWAs were calculated for event pairs to characterize exposure potential during daily versus weekly clothes‐handling activity. Airborne concentrations for the clothes handler were 0.2–1.4% (eight‐hour TWA or daily ratio) and 0.03–0.27% (40‐hour TWA or weekly ratio) of loading TWAs. Cumulative chrysotile doses for clothes handling at airborne concentrations tested were estimated to be consistent with lifetime cumulative chrysotile doses associated with ambient air exposure (range for take‐home or ambient doses: 0.00044–0.105 f/cc year).
