"More than 20,000 university-based faculty in the U.S. are researching education, so making it onto the Edu-Scholar list is an accomplishment in its own right," said Hess.
Sass's research focuses on the economics of education, with particular focus on teacher labor supply, measurement of teacher quality and school choice. His work has been published in academic journals including the Quarterly Journal of Economics , Journal of Public Economics and Journal of Labor Economics .

The Geo-Economics of the Water Deficit in Crimea - Jamestown
Since the 2014 annexation of Crimea, the Kremlin initiated unprecedented infrastructure projects that have had important geopolitical consequences for the region. Inter alia , Russia is presently completing three enormous projects: the Tavrida highway, Kerch Strait Bridge and thermal power stations on the peninsula.
In 2013, the total water consumed by Crimea amounted to 1,553.78 million cubic meters. Of this, water procured from the Dnieper River in Ukraine proper, via the North Crimean Canal, made up 86.65 percent of the total water intake; local stocks equaled 8.7 percent; groundwater—4.41 percent; and seawater—0.16 percent ( Meco.rk.gov.ru , December 2013). But following the peninsula's forcible annexation by Russia, Kyiv cut off water supplies from the Dnieper.

Ukraine has reported positive, albeit modest, economic growth consistently over the past 15 quarters. Meanwhile, according to the latest survey results, 88% of the American Chamber of Commerce member companies in Ukraine reported increased revenues in 2019 and 65% plan to increase their investments in Ukraine this year.

National statistics, such as GDP, exports and imports, are commonly referred to as the economy's "vital signs". They give the public a snapshot of the economy's health, the same way a doctor may check your blood pressure, temperature and heart rate to provide a quick health assessment.

Spread and stutter - Markets wake up with a jolt to the implications of covid-19 | Finance and
WHEN AMERICA, the hub of global capital, is this far into an economic expansion and a bull market, investors feel two conflicting impulses. They hope that the good times will last, so they are reluctant to pull their money out. They also worry that the party might suddenly end. This is the late-cycle mindset. It reacts to occasional growth scares—about trade wars or corporate debt or some other upset. But it tends not to take them seriously for long.
Investors have, sensibly, tried to calculate which assets are most exposed to the shock. The worst-hit stocks were of firms that rely on far-flung supply chains, such as carmakers or electronics firms; or are directly affected by restrictions on travel, such as airlines; or are most exposed to a China-led global slowdown, such as oil firms. Investors scrambled for safe assets. The yield on ten-year Treasury bonds fell to an all-time low of 1.31% on February 25th.

M ONEY MAKES the world go round. But where in the world is it going? In theory the answer lies in statistics published by the likes of America's Treasury Department and the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ), which track cross-border flows of debt and equity investments. In practice creative corporate accounting mucks up the official figures. A growing body of research is trying to clean up the mess.
Accounting for corporate behaviour would be simple, if it could be organised neatly according to national boundaries. Petrobras, a Brazilian oil giant, would sell its bonds directly to American or European investors. In reality many companies raise funds through foreign subsidiaries set up for the purpose. Petrobras raises debt through its subsidiary Petrobras Global Finance BV , based in the Netherlands.
Missoula Economic Partnership: Study to explore new tools for economic development
MISSOULA — The Missoula Economic Partnership will contribute to a study this spring to explore a range of tools that could make Montana more competitive on the economic front by turning to other states for models of success.
The Montana Economic Developers Association has already contracted a consultant to complete the study, and MEP will contribute its share to the cost in hopes of gleaning new tools it can take the next Legislature.

"We're working on an assessment of economic development tools that exist today in Montana, and also exploring what tools we can incorporate that other states, either in the country or in the region, are adopting or have deployed that we are not yet using in Montana," said Grant Kier, president of MEP.
