    US Credit Unions: An Empirical Investigation of Size, Age and Growth (2005)

    Notes: Abstract/〉:  An econometric analysis of the growth performance of US credit unions for the period 1992–2001 investigates empirical relationships between size, age and growth. Ceteris paribus larger credit unions grew faster than smaller unions. State credit unions grew faster than federal credit unions, and single bond credit unions grew faster than multiple bond credit unions. The size-growth gradients were generally steeper for state than for federal credit unions, and for single bond than for multiple bond credit unions. These patterns are attributed to variations in legislation and regulatory treatment. There is some evidence that younger credit unions tended to outgrow older ones. This seems consistent with a life cycle typology of credit union growth and development. There is also evidence of a positive persistence of growth effect. The cross-sectional variance of growth is inversely related to size, but is largely independent of age.

    Leading employees in one-to-one dispute resolution (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Leadership & organization development journal 26 (2005), S. 263-279 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - Leaders are challenged with the efficient and effective management of their own and their employees' disputes. These are often managed inadequately using "fight", "flight", or management intervention. This paper aims to present the findings of a study into an effective alternative, "one-to-one dispute resolution". The method involves two employees resolving their dispute through face-to-face communication and without direct intervention by management. Design/methodology/approach - Using the Critical Incident Technique, incidents of one-to-one dispute resolution (n =249) were reported by 88 employees. The contents were analysed, and skill-related findings were validated using a questionnaire (n =106). Findings - The findings are presented in a descriptive model of the skilful process of one-to-one dispute resolution. The model is built on eight skill-sets that were central to the dispute resolution process. Research limitations/implications - How and when to effectively coach employees in the use of one-to-one dispute resolution, and the resulting personal and organisational outcomes, need to be examined. In addition, research into the practical application of the model, and in specific organisational contexts, is required. Practical implications - The study highlights the potential for more employees (including both the leaders and the led) to effectively "face" their own disputes without using "fight" or "flight". It challenges those leaders, who often act as third-party interveners, instead to coach their employees in the one-to-one resolution of disputes, while modelling the method themselves. Originality/value - Employees are offered a research-based model of dispute resolution that differs from problematic models in the dispute resolution literature and skills-training programs. A workable alternative to the methods of fight, flight and intervention is provided.

    Notes: To manage risk or to implement natural attenuation as a remedy, regulatory agencies must understand the processes that attenuate methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in ground water. Most case studies and laboratory studies in the literature indicate that natural biodegradation is not important; however, recent reports indicate that natural biodegradation of MTBE plays an important role under certain conditions. In an MTBE plume at a retail gasoline station in Parsippany, New Jersey, the long-term monitoring data indicated that the concentration of MTBE was slowly declining over time in the wells that were within the footprint of the plume. The ratio of tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) to MTBE increased with distance from the source area, and the ratio of TBA to MTBE in individual monitoring wells in the plume increased over time. This anecdotal evidence of natural biodegradation of MTBE to TBA at field scale was confirmed with a microcosm study. Core material from the interior of the plume was used to construct the microcosms. Following an initial lag period of 58 d, the concentration of MTBE decreased from more than 1460 μg/L to less than 10 μg/L within 199 d of incubation. As concentrations of MTBE declined in the microcosms, concentrations of TBA increased. The decrease in concentration of MTBE in the microcosms could be accounted for by an increase in the concentration of TBA.

    Notes: At a number of sites, a plume of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in ground water has dived below the screen of conventional monitoring wells and escaped detection. Techniques are needed to predict the vertical extent of MTBE in an aquifer. Two techniques that are emerging in the site characterization market are electrical conductivity logging and pneumatic slug testing performed in temporary push wells. These techniques were evaluated at a diving plume of MTBE in the aquifer that supplies water to the village of East Alton, Illinois. The plume stayed near the water table for the first 100 m from the potential sources and then dived below conventional monitoring over the next 100 m. At the location where the MTBE plume dived, the depth to water was 9.1 m below land surface. The first 10 m of material below the water table had an electrical conductivity near 100 mS/m, indicating silts and clays. An electrical conductivity near 25 mS/m, indicating sands or gravels, was encountered at a depth of 10.6 m below the water table, and the sands and gravel extended to a depth of at least 15.2 m below the water table. Pneumatic slug tests measured low hydraulic conductivity in the interval of silt and clay (0.34 and 0.012 m/d) and higher hydraulic conductivity in the interval with sands and gravels (12.5, 11.6, and 11.3 m/d). Ground water with the highest concentration of MTBE was produced just below the contact between the silt and clay and the sands and gravel.

    Notes: Although tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) has not been used as a fuel oxygenate in Orange County, California, the concentrations of TBA in ground water at gasoline spill sites are high compared those of the conventional fuel oxygenate methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). In the year 2002, the geometric mean concentration of TBA was 839 μg/L compared to 627 μg/L for MTBE. There are two plausible sources of TBA, the TBA originally present in the gasoline and biodegradation of MTBE to TBA. Thirteen sites where the concentration of TBA was 〉10 mg/L were selected for study. Biodegradation was evaluated by determining the stable carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) of MTBE in the ground water. If MTBE was biodegraded, the residual MTBE should be enriched in the heavier carbon isotope 13C. The historical highest concentration of MTBE in each monitoring well and the δ13C of MTBE in the ground water were used to estimate the concentration of TBA produced from biodegradation of MTBE. Then, the estimated concentration of TBA was compared to the measured concentration. At each site, comparisons were made for the well in the source area, and the well in the plume outside the source area, that had the highest concentration of TBA. In the wells in the source areas, the estimate of TBA production accounted for the majority of TBA at 4 of the 13 sites. In the wells in the plume outside of the source area, the estimate accounted for the majority of TBA at six sites.

    Notes: Ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA, oxidized vitamin C) are dietary sources of vitamin C in humans. Both nutrients are absorbed from the lumen of the intestine and renal tubules by, respectively, enterocytes and renal epithelial cells. Subsequently vitamin C circulates in the blood and enters all of the other cells of the body. Concerning flux across the plasma membrane, simple diffusion of ascorbic acid plays only a small or negligible role. More important are specific mechanisms of transport and metabolism that concentrate vitamin C intracellularly to enhance its function as an enzyme cofactor and antioxidant. The known transport mechanisms are facilitated diffusion of DHAA through glucose-sensitive and -insensitive transporters, facilitated diffusion of ascorbate through channels, exocytosis of ascorbate in secretory vesicles, and secondary active transport of ascorbate through the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters SVCT1 and SVCT2 proteins that are encoded by the genes Slc23a1 and Slc23a2, respectively. Evidence is reviewed indicating that these transport pathways are regulated under physiological conditions and altered by aging and disease.

    Notes: Since its election in May 1997, the Labour Government in the United Kingdom has emphasized the need for modernization in the improvement of public services. For local government, this emphasis has led to the introduction of a variety of measures intended, primarily, to improve political management and service delivery. Two key policies have been the introduction of Best Value and the Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA). CPA is used by the Audit Commission for measuring local authority performance in England and has led to each authority being classified as excellent, good, fair, weak or poor. Each authority's classification has implications, financially and in terms of its freedom to determine priorities and policies. In addition, the structure of local government is being reviewed by central government, alongside discussions as to the merits of establishing regional assemblies. In considering the justification for, and the impact of, changes, it is important to consider the views of local government employees, not least professional groupings and chief officers. This paper reports the findings of a national survey of chief financial officers (CFOs) of the single tier and county council local authorities in England to establish their views on key features of the Government's modernization agenda.

    Assessing the Benefits of Trade Facilitation: A Global Perspective (2005)

    Notes: This paper estimates the relationship between trade facilitation and trade flows using a panel of disaggregated manufactured goods for the 2000–2001 period for 75 countries. Four categories of trade facilitation are defined, measured and assessed for their impact on bilateral trade flows using a gravity model. The four measures of trade facilitation are: port infrastructure (air and maritime), customs environment, regulatory environments and e-business infrastructure. The results suggest that raising global capacity halfway to the world average in the four areas would increase trade by $377 billion. Most regions of the world increase exports more than imports. In large part, this result stems from increased exports to OECD markets that is obtained through a country's own effort to improve ports, customs, regulations and services infrastructures. In addition, the results suggest that reform and capacity building in trade facilitation in areas related to GATT Articles V, VIII and X that are under discussion at the World Trade Organisation could expand trade and exports significantly. Many of the reform measures necessary to achieve this goal need not necessarily require large-scale investment projects, but rather action in legal and administrative reform to facilitate trade.
