Fishing for Growth
Religion and Psychological Distress in Japan
This study introduces data from a new random sample of Japanese adults. Findings show that reporting of distress symptoms are: ( 1. positively associated with a religious coping index (i.e., beliefs that religion or supernatural beings provide comfort, support or protection), (2. associated in different directions with ownership of different household altars (positively for Shintō altars and negatively for ancestor altars), (3. negatively associa…
Shinto festival involvement and sense of self in contemporary Japan
In recent decades, hundreds of studies have addressed connections between religious beliefs and behaviours and individual well-being in Europe and the US. There are only a handful of publications that examine these important links in Japan, however. In this paper, I rely on participant observation and in-depth interviews with some of the leaders of Kyoto's Gion Festival to illustrate associations between public ritual involvement and sense of sel…
Ritual Participation and Social Support in a Major Japanese Festival
In this study, residents of Kyôto's Gion Festival 'float-cart neighborhoods' reveal how ritual participation yields a strong sense of community, and this is connected with several forms of social support.

The neoclassical employment model applied to Ghanaian manufacturing
The neoclassical framework is applied to analyze employment generating policies for Ghanaian industry. Elasticities of substitution clustering around 1.0 were found for five industries. However, as guides to employment policy, such econometric measurements of the CES function measure the wrong concept of elasticity, may contain serious upward biases, and miss some important features of LDC industry. Although these shortcomings suggest less scope …
