The article reviews methodological aspects of qualitative social ownership research and presents empirical results on data collected in Estonia. The research approach is abduction, the strategy case study, choices multiple methods and it can be categorised as an explanatory cross-sectional research project. Purposive sampling for in-depth face-to-face interviews has been used. In social science, typologies (Doty and Glick, 1994; Elo-Pärssinen, 2007; Hornaday, 1990; Kluge, 2000, Kelle and Kluge, 2010) are a well-known form of theory building. The goal of the author’s ownership research is to produce new knowledge, in the form of ownership typology, analysing owners of companies in Estonia. Based on cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling, five initial value types have been described. The author’s future work will be focused on characterisation of the constructed types using all collected qualitative data. In addition, the criteria for the characterisation of the types have to be specified by ideal types.

El diario barcelonés La Vanguardia nació en 1881 con una expresa voluntad de resaltar su contenido literario y científico. The New York Times, desde el mismo momento de su publicación, cuando aún era The New York Daily Times, incluía noticias procedentes del ámbito científico y técnico.

The New York Times, from the very beginning of its publication, still being called The New York Daily Times, used to include news from scientific and technological environments. The history of science journalism has been milestoned by science communicators who were able to keep a pool of readers interested in scientific, technological and medical development. «Para comprender una ciencia es necesario conocer su historia» Auguste Comte Siempre es difícil abordar una historia no escrita.

One of the well-known and simple steady-state methods used to predict heating and cooling energy consumption of buildings is the bin method that requires reliable and detailed bin data. In this study, the bin data for Turkey are determined by using long-term measured data. The bin data for dry-bulb temperature from À36 C to 45 C with 3 C increments are calculated in six daily 4-h shifts for 78 provinces of Turkey. #

This paper compares the business cycle features of the EC economies using quarterly and annual data since 1960 and the Real Business Cycle model as a guidance. The evidence suggests that there are remarkable similarities between the business cycle pattern of these countries, despite significant differences in the patterns of fiscal and monetary policies and the terms of trade. We take this evidence to suggest that the type of shocks and the propagation mechanism is fairly similar across the EC countries. Hence the process of European integration under a set of uniform institutions and policies should not be a problem as far as the business cycle is concerned.

In this paper we develop a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium overlapping generations (OLG) model with health as a durable good to study the life-cycle behaviors of health care spending and financing. We show that a calibrated version of our generalized Grossman model is able to match the life-cycle trend of insurance take up ratios and average medical expenditure from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data in 2004/05. We then apply our model to analyze the macroeconomic implications of a counter factual health care reform in the U.S., using a system of universal health insurance vouchers. Our results suggest that health insurance vouchers are able to extend insurance coverage to the entire population but they also increase aggregate spending on health. More importantly, we find that the positive insurance effect (efficient risk pooling) dominates the negative incentive effect (tax distortions and moral hazard) which results in significant welfare gains for all generations when a payroll tax is used to finance the voucher program. In addition, our results suggest that the choice of tax financing instrument and accounting for general equilibrium adjustments are critical in determining the performance of the voucher program.
