But a Whimper

In my last rustication, I opined the details of the 300-page Google Book Deal settlement made in late 2008 between Google and authors and publishers vis-à-vis Google’s massive digitization scheme (those cases, viz., Authors Guild et al v. Google and McGraw-Hill et al v. Google).

Developing Comprehensive Academic Plans

Institutions engage in academic planning to supplement strategic planning processes and guide future academic direction. This report profiles the processes seven public research institutions undertook to develop comprehensive academic plans and to identify opportunities to create signature “programs of tomorrow.

O patrimônio de afetação na incorporação imobiliária

O presente estudo trata do contrato da incorporação imobiliária como instrumento de função social relevantíssima por dizer respeito a dois gravíssimos problemas de Nação, que são o da Construção Civil e o do enorme déficit habitacional existente no país – deve ser entendido e disciplinado à luz da lei específica, sem eliminar a possibilidade de sujeição às regras tutelares, porque é óbvio que não se trata do negócio imune e cláusulas e praxes abusivas por parte dos incorporadores. O enfoque, porém, não é de ser feito para se afastar a disciplina da Lei nº 4.591/1964, que é específica e que há de prevalecer, quando não houver cláusula abusiva a reprimir. Os postulados de Chalhub (2012) exposto neste estudo representam, em suma, uma contribuição muito relevante para as letras jurídicas num campo de incomum interesse para as relações econômicas e num momento de crise nacional, em que os olhos de toda Nação se voltam para a incrementação do desenvolvimento econômico, com necessidade fundamental e inadiável.

Is China a Northern Partner to Mercosul?

We contrast Free Trade Areas involving Mercosul and the EU25, the US and China, respectively, using a new CGE model and associated database. Roughly, the China FTA lies halfway the other two, a bias towards the US pattern being suggested. When considering China a new Northern partner, protective deals don’t seem advisable. China’s advantages should prevail when facing the US or the EU: its need of capital goods, for instance, may open profitable cross-exchanges. China’s emergence can be a positive factor, if placed in an enlarged policy space where, together with its Asian neighbours, it counter-balances the US-EU polarity.

A family of autoregressive conditional duration models

This paper develops a family of autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models that encompasses most specifications in the literature. The nesting relies on a Box-Cox transformation with shape parameter λ to the conditional duration process and a possibly asymmetric shocks impact curve. We establish conditions for the existence of higher-order moments, strict stationarity, geometric ergodicity and β-mixing property with exponential decay. We next derive moment recursion relations and the autocovariance function of the power λ of the duration process. Finally, we assess the practical usefulness of our family of ACD models using NYSE transactions data, with special attention to IBM price durations. The results warrant the extra flexibility provided either by the Box-Cox transformation or by the asymmetric response to shocks.
