On Listening as Analysis
Our paper addresses the notion of listening as a method of analysis. Our reflections stem from our development of an interactive sound art piece entitled Selfie Orchestra. This work is produced with sound, image, and GPS data gleaned from audience members’ cell phones. It features an interactive 3D simulation of the La Friche la Belle de Mai district in Marseille, France. We begin with a brief description of this project, highlighting our attempt…
Exchange Rate Pass-through to Import Prices, and Monetary Policy in South Africa
Understanding how import prices adjust to exchange rates helps anticipate inflation effects and monetary policy responses. This article examines exchange rate pass-through to the monthly import price index in South Africa during 1980–2009. Short-horizon pass-through estimates are calculated using both single equation equilibrium correction models and systems (Johansen) models, controlling for both domestic and foreign costs. Average pass-through …
Sonification and Acoustic Environments
Sonification can allow us to connect sound and/or music via data to the environment; in another sense, by “displaying” data through sound, sonification participates in creating our acoustic environment. The authors consider here the significance of certain aspects of this relationship

Networked Music & Soundart Timeline (NMSAT)
In 2008, Jérôme Joy initiated the ‘Networked Music & SoundArt Timeline’ (NMSAT)—a monitor on the history of networked music and sound. The Timeline is maintained by the NMSAT Development Committee, consisting primarily of researchers and artists from partner institutions. The team is complemented by a pool of authors and editors contributing to Locus Sonus's projects (such as, for instance, members of WLP – World Listening Project) and individual…
On Risk Aversion and Investment
We develop a two-period model where a risk-averse entrepreneur decides on the size of an investment project and how to finance it. He can use debt and/or equity finance; an incentive compatibility constraint limits the extent to which the project can be financed with equity. With debt, he may, in certain circumstances, credibly threaten default to provoke renegotiation. Under pure equity finance, investment is efficient. There are conditions unde…
Local Leaders in a Global Setting
Small regional communities are having widely different experiences of globalisation but many share dependent relations with corporations and governments. Those which are under threat are often finding themselves dependent on their own resources, including the leadership of local people. This article compares the interpretations of change and the experiences of local leaders in two geographically and historically diverse situations. It finds that …

Continuity, change and consumption
This article surveys four aspects of Britain's post‐war economic experience. We explore the main features of employment and production, and some major developments in the housing and energy markets. This is followed by a brief scrutiny of currency changes, and then by a more detailed look at wages, inflation and unemployment. The main part of the paper is devoted to consumption. Consumption is the ultimate aim of economic activity and in our view…
Segmented Labor Markets in Alabama's Pulp and Paper Industry1
Alabama's forest products industry plays a dominant role in the state's rural economy. Examination of how access to employment opportunities is distributed provides insight into how the benefits of this industry are distributed. Based on a combination of available secondary data and semi-structured interviews with management and workers in the pulp and paper sector of Alabama's forest products industry, a clear picture of segmented labor markets …

Unemployment
This text provides an up-to-date, comprehensive guide to the ecomonics of unemployment. Peter Sinclair studies three complementary aspects of unemployment: the statisitical and human facts; the explanatory theories; and the policies. The book examines the economic theories which have emerged from the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, and includes a detailed survey of the characteristics of the unemployed. Sinclair explores the links b…

Parliament vs. People
Fishermen Divided
Limited-entry schemes have recently been widely touted as solutions to economic and biological problems in coastal fisheries. Here the experience of licensing in the shrimp and cod dragging fisheries of northwest Newfoundland is assessed in relation to the theoretical advantages claimed for it. After reviewing the development of the region's fisheries prior to limited entry, it is argued that the economic objectives of licensing were partially ac…
