Waldfogel","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3128269","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3128269","url":null,"abstract":"Citation measures are often employed to evaluate scholarship in business schools. We document here that citation practice as measured by the number of references per published article varies systematically across top-ranked journals in business school fields (accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, MIS, and operations). We develop a set of scale factors, based on references per article and inter-field citation patterns, for making citation measures comparable across fields. Because economics articles tend to cite literature sparingly, raw citation measures are systematically biased against economic scholarship.","PeriodicalId":409545,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Economics Education (ERN) (Topic)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128795240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

K̲h̲ān","doi":"10.12816/0025695","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12816/0025695","url":null,"abstract":"Islamic economics has made a respectable progress during the last four decades. A brief assessment of the existing literature on Islamic economics leads to identification of gaps. The most glaring deficiency in the existing literature is that it restates Islamic economic teachings but does not move any far toward transforming this knowledge into a social science that would allow verification or falsification of its postulates. Besides, there are several problems with the framework of Islamic economics. The paper proposes a methodology for transforming Islamic economic teachings into Islamic economics as a social science. The paper also presents a definition of Islamic economics that aims to overcome the deficiencies of the definitions presented so far. It makes some suggestions for refining the framework of Islamic economics. In the end, the paper suggests some significant areas for future research.","PeriodicalId":409545,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Economics Education (ERN) (Topic)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130536017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are economic processes ontologically dependent on the narratives used by economists to account for real phenomena? In this article, we draw both on Wheat's mapping techniques to homogenise theoretical economic discourse and on Pilkington's attempt to combine economics with language for specific purposes. We show that informed and fruitful discussions in the classroom necessitate the use of a new median pluralistic discourse that is yet to be elaborated upon, both by university and secondary school teachers. Finally, in order to illustrate our argumentation, we use a short case-study based on a course entitled 'Financial, Economic and Global Issues', taught to a public of non-native speakers of English, studying for a Masters degree in banking and finance at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France.","PeriodicalId":409545,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Economics Education (ERN) (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130557562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of these approaches is to improve lifelong economic decision making, but the evidence supporting their efficacy is thin. In this article, the authors discuss the trend toward elementary financial education and propose a framework for developing evidence-based programs. They emphasize the need for understanding the underlying mechanisms that facilitate the translation of student knowledge into the ability to make sound economic decisions over the life course. The framework illustrates the importance of articulating the intended mechanisms and effects of education programs. This focus on mechanisms will not only facilitate the evaluation of individual programs, but also the synthesis of evidence across interventions.","PeriodicalId":409545,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Economics Education (ERN) (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129186624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased water demand due to population growth and rising living standards (with changing diets and lifestyles) strains available water resources. In spite of reports about an imminent water crisis, the world is not running out of water. Water is a renewable global resource of which there is more than enough. The major concern is that water is very unevenly distributed across and within countries. Water scarcity is thus primarily a local phenomenon, and fears mount that climate change might worsen an already bad situation in water-scarce areas. In this context, calls for better water management are heard. \u0000 \u0000Water management used to be a matter of engineering and the supply side, especially associated with the construction of dams, canals, and so on. In recent years, there has been a shift toward economics and demand management. In this context, water markets are often featured as a tool to allocate water efficiently. There are water markets in Australia, some western U.S. states, Columbia, Chile, and South Africa. \u0000 \u0000Markets are such an integral part of our lives that we seldom think about how they function. They are popular among economists because well-functioning markets are efficient and maximize overall economic welfare. Markets are ideal, decentralized tools to allocate resources particularly when they involve many people whose preferences are impossible to keep track of. Figure 1 displays the main withdrawers of water in the United States. However popular markets are, they are not a panacea. They do not necessarily work well under all circumstances. Well-functioning water markets presuppose a complex set of regulations and institutions. \u0000 \u0000. . .","PeriodicalId":409545,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Economics Education (ERN) (Topic)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125617299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
