Open 'Secrets' and Uncomfortable Truths: Druze, Jews and Israel's New Nationality Law
Of all the ethno-religious minorities pained by the passage of Israel’s “nation-state” Basic Law of July 2018, none have expressed as much hurt as the Druze citizens of the Jewish state.1 Colloquia
Regional convergence and structural change in US housing markets
If house prices are convergent at the national level, monetary policy is easier to implement, and labour has an easier time achieving mobility across regions. Accordingly there have been several studies on home price convergence. Some of these previous papers have methodological problems. This paper examines home price convergence across the different regions of the United States using Pesaran’s pairwise approach. This method obviates some of the…
Did the Euro Common Currency Increase or Decrease Business Cycle Synchronization for its Member Countries
We use two variants of Markov switching models to assess changes in output synchronization since the creation of the euro. Out of eight eurozone countries investigated, only one—the Netherlands—has synchronization increased since euro adoption, supporting the ‘endogenous optimal currency area’ argument of Frankel and Rose. However, in three other cases, business cycle synchronization actually fell since the euro's creation. Thus the ‘endogeneity’…
"From Césaire to "Sarko: Generational and Ideological Transitions in Martinique and France
Once Again, From a Distance: Martinique and the French Presidential Election of 2007
In May 2007, Martinique did not follow the rest of France in endorsing Nicolas Sarkozy in his bid to become president. Along with the other overseas French states Guadeloupe and Réunion (but not Guyane), Martinique supported rather the Socialist candidate Ségolène Royal. Martinique thereby distanced itself from the rest of the République—as it had done in 1995—by backing a left-wing presidential candidate rather than the ultimately victorious rig…
Covered Interest Arbitrage: Then versus Now
We introduce a new weekly database of spot and forward US–UK exchange rates and interest rates to examine the integration of forward exchange markets during the classical Gold Standard period (1880–1914). Using threshold autoregressions (TARs), we estimate the transaction cost band of covered interest differentials (CIDs) and compare our results with studies of more recent periods. We find that CIDs for the US–UK rate were generally largest durin…
When is a nation ‘a nation’? Identity‐formation within a French West Indian people (Martinique)
Nationhood is usually considered a subjective state of being acquired by a self‐conscious group sharing cultural distinctiveness and political goals. Social scientists and historians also endeavor to delineate objective factors that impart national status to minority peoples. Rarely do the elected officials of a non‐sovereign people have the opportunity to vote on whether or not their constituency constitutes a discrete nation. The extraordinary …
Measuring Satisfaction in Jewish “Utopia”: A comparative analysis of the Reform kibbutzim
As a framework for social analysis, utopia is usually the province of classicists and political theorists. Yet practitioners of Jewish social studies — particularly specialists on the subject of the kibbutz — have much to offer non‐regional specialists of intentional communities and micropolities. Indeed, by applying standard social scientific techniques of survey and analysis, the kibbutz framework re‐emerges as a viable construct within contemp…

The Barings Crisis in Argentina: The role of exogenous European money market factors
The Barings crisis of 1890 was a wrenching financial crash and recession for Argentina. The episode is similar in many respects to the balance of payments difficulties in emerging markets during the 1990s. In particular, it serves as an example of the dangers of investment that is exogenous to the capital-importing, developing country, as opposed to investment driven by country-specific conditions. While some external factors, such as competition…
