Transportation and the Three Es: Energy, the Economy and the Environment
| |
| The threat to national security and the implications of global climate change plus the rising cost of a fossil fuel dependent transportation system and ever increasing traffic congestion suggest reevaluation and reform of our national transportation policy. There’s good reason to restructure transportation priorities to support a sustainable transportation system which provides access to people, places, goods, and services in an environmentally responsible, socially acceptable, and economically viable manner. |

National Labor Relations Board FAQs
| |
| The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The statute guarantees the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively with their employers or to refrain from all such activity. Generally applying to all employers involved in interstate commerce - other than airlines, railroads, agriculture, and government - the Act implements the national labor policy of assuring free choice and encouraging collective bargaining as a means of maintaining industrial peace. Through the years, Congress has amended the Act and the Board and courts have developed a body of law drawn from the statute. |

5.1 The SME Development Policy (SMEDP): Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| It should be noted that the latest round of SME development policies are very
recent. The MIT released its national SME Development Policy in 2003, a process it has
been working on since 1998. The SME Development Policy was approved by Parliament
on 11 February 2003 and officially launched on 27 August 2003. The overall objective of
the policy is “to foster job creation and income generation through promoting the
creation of new SMEs and improving the performance and competitiveness of the
existing ones to increase their participation and contribution to the Tanzanian economy”
(MIT, 2003). The implementation plan for the SME Development Policy includes a list
of priority programmes and projects,24 categorized under seven major objectives: |

9.3 Micro-finance institutions (MFIs): Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| Micro-finance operators in Tanzania function within the framework of the
Government’s National Micro Finance Policy of 2000. The objectives of this policy are
to provide the basis for the evolution of an efficient and effective micro-finance system
to serve the low segment of society and contribute to economic growth and poverty
reduction (as described in MIT, 2002). The policy establishes a framework within which
micro-finance operators will develop, lays out the principles to guide operations of the
system, defines roles and responsibilities of actors, and provides guidelines for
coordinating mechanisms. The Central Bank was given the mandate to coordinate
implementation of the policy. It is interesting to note that the Micro Finance Policy
includes “gender equity” as a best practice. |

5.1 Determinants of diversification in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification
not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables.
This proposition naturally leads to the search for those economic and non-economic
policy actions that are likely to affect the level and rate of diversification in a country.
What evidence is there that links economic and non-economic variables with
national capacity to diversify? |

Metropolitics: Why Local Government is the Solution to Preserve American Democracy (and Society)
| |
| It's quite unfortunate that American national elections are perceived as a Partisan Death Match through which 51% of the nation gets to impose its personal beliefs on the hapless 49% minority. America's Culture War (Kulturkampf for you Germans out there) is still raging, and is increasingly being fought over national social policy. |

Monetary Police is Science, Everything Else is Stamp-Collecting
| |
| This new Eric Leeper paper seems delusional in arguing that monetary policy is science, while fiscal policy is stamp-collecting, but I maybe I'm just being crotchety. The piece also comes up with the new-to-me argument that monetary policy would be even better science if it weren't for fiscal policy mucking things up. |

Insurance Defense Costs
| |
| Does Your Business Insurance Policy Cover Defense Costs Within the Insurance Limit or Defense Costs Outside of the Insurance Limit?
Did you know that a liability policy, which is part of any typical business insurance policy or commercial insurance policy coverage, has two distinct obligations? A liability insurance policy, if it is a general liability, product liability or professional liability insurance policy is designed to protect you against your legal obligation to pay others because you have hurt them and/or have damaged their property. A policy also defends you against claims or lawsuits. In other words, besides paying for claims or suits, a liability policy also pays for their related legal costs and court fees. |
