The future of public space is uncertain. Although public spaces
have become increasingly shabby and crowded, novel alternatives
have appeared in the form of fantastic, semi-public pleasure
grounds, developed by well-heeled, crowd-pleasing entrepreneurs and
devoted to profit, consumption, and self-indulgence. Philosophers
and geographers have converged on the topic of public space,
fascinated and in many ways alarmed by fundamental changes in the
way post-industrial societies produce space for public use, and in
the way citizens of these same societies perceive and constitute
themselves as a public. The contributors to this volume advance
this inquiry, making extensive use of political and social theory.
Philosophy and Geography II: The Production of Public Space gives
readers an enhanced appreciation of the intimate connections
between political principles, social processes, and the
commonplaces of our everyday environments.
In the contemporary city, the physical infrastructure and sensorial
experiences of two millennia are now inter-woven within an
invisible digital matrix. This matrix alters human perceptions of
the city, informs our behaviour and increasingly influences the
urban designs we ultimately inhabit. Digital Futures and the City
of Today cuts through these issues to analyse the work of
architects, designers, media specialists and a growing number of
community activists, laying out a multi-faceted view of the complex
integrated phenomenon of the contemporary city. Split into three
sections, the book interrogates the concept of the 'smart' city,
examines innovative digital projects from around the world,
documents experimental visions for the future, and describes
projects that engage local communities in the design process.
The estimation of the effects of treatments ??? endogenous
variables representing everything from individual participation in
a training program to national participation in a World Bank loan
program ??? has occupied much of the theoretical and applied
econometric research literatures in recent years. This volume
brings together a diverse collection of papers on this important
topic by leaders in the field from around the world. Some of the
papers offer new theoretical contributions on various estimation
techniques and others provide timely empirical applications
illustrating the benefits of these and other methods. All of the
papers share two common themes. First, as different estimators
estimate different treatment effect parameters, it is vital to know
what you are estimating and to know to whom the estimate applies.
Second, as different estimators require different identification
assumptions, it is crucial to understand the assumptions underlying
each estimator. In empirical applications, the researcher must also
make the case that the assumptions hold based on the available data
and the institutional context. The theoretical contributions range
over a variety of different estimators drawn from both statistics
and econometrics, including matching and other non-parametric
methods, panel methods, instrumental variables, methods based on
hazard rate models and principal stratification, and they draw upon
both the Bayesian and classical statistical traditions. The
empirical contributions focus mainly on the evaluation of active
labor market programs in Europe and the United States, but also
examine of the effect of parenthood on wages and of the number of
children on child health.
*Contains both theoretical and emperical contributions
*Examples from both Europe and the US
