Abstract:
‘Addiopizzo’ (Goodbye protection money) is a grassroots anti-mafia movement based in Palermo that stresses the individual consumer's responsibility for maintaining the Sicilian mafia's pizzo system. If you purchase products from a business that pays the pizzo you are indirectly supporting the mafia. By encouraging Palermitans to buy from ‘pizzo-free’ businesses, Addiopizzo uses the purchasing power of the consumer to fight organised crime. The community of ‘pizzo-free’ businesses is small but steadily growing whilst the number of critical consumers pledging to buy their products appears to have peaked. This article aims to investigate the reasons why consumers may be reluctant to support ‘pizzo-free’ businesses by asking those who have already made public their decision to do so. Whilst critical consumers cannot fully explain why the majority of Palermo's citizens continue to tolerate the pizzo system their attitudes towards them do highlight differences that may help to account for wider non-participation in Addiopizzo's campaign.

Abstract:
An individual's body size is central to its behaviour and physiology, and tightly linked to its movement ability. The spatial arrangement of resources and a consumer's capacity to locate them are therefore expected to exert strong selection on consumer body size. We investigated the evolutionary impact of both the fragmentation and loss of habitat on consumer body size and its feedback effects on resource distribution, under varying levels of information used during habitat choice. We developed a mechanistic, individual-based, spatially explicit model, including several allometric rules for key consumer traits. Our model reveals that as resources become more fragmented and scarce, informed habitat choice selects for larger body sizes while random habitat choice promotes small sizes. Information use may thus be an overlooked explanation for the observed variation in body size responses to habitat fragmentation. Moreover, we find that resources can accumulate and aggregate if information about resource abundance is incomplete. Informed movement results in stable resource–consumer dynamics and controlled resources across space. However, habitat loss and fragmentation destabilize local dynamics and disturb resource suppression by the consumer. Considering information use during movement is thus critical to understand the eco-evolutionary dynamics underlying the functioning and structuring of consumer communities.

Abstract:
Using qualitative methodology, this study investigated the effects of special education placement from the perspectives of nine high school students receiving learning disabilities services in separate classrooms. Three topics were investigated: peer acceptance, perceptions of self, and perceived efficacy of learning disabilities programs. Results indicated that students did not view their special education experiences as either socially or academically efficacious. Nevertheless, they valued the services because separate settings had provided means to avoid an unresponsive general education system. Students viewed the movement for integration of general and special education services as unrealistic. They perceived existent general education as unable and unwilling to adapt to individual student needs.

Abstract:
This study aims to heat mapping the consumer’s movement using background subtraction techniques. The mapping is built using the coordinate information obtained from the consumer location that detected from the video where the separation of the consumer object and the background is done by background subtraction technique. Tests were performed on eleven video of consumer data activity that have different activity characteristics that were created using Microsoft PowerPoint application. Simulated activities include walking straight, staying, walking back to the path that had been passed, pacing, disturbance from another object, the influence of color, the consumer walks meet and coincide with other consumers. From the test of video discovery is obtained accuracy of 96.07% for the detection process of consumer movement, where the lack of detection process occurs due to the absence of techniques used to perform the introduction of characteristics of consumer objects. The mapping process is very much in line with the number of coordinates generated in the motion detection process, but the inaccurate detection of movement in the entrance and exit areas makes the coordinates high. By filtering with Region of Interes (ROI) in the survey area, creating disturbances in the area of doors and areas with objects that produce movements other than consumers can be eliminated.

Abstract:
Abstract Consumer movements strive to change markets when those markets produce value outcomes that conflict with consumers’ higher-order values. Prior studies argue that consumer movements primarily seek to challenge these value outcomes by championing alternative higher-order values or by pressuring institutions to change market governance mechanisms. Building on and refining theorization on value regimes, this study illuminates a new type of consumer movement strategy where consumers collaborate to construct alternative object pathways. The study draws from ethnographic fieldwork in the German retail food sector and shows how building alternative object pathways allowed a consumer movement to mitigate the value regime’s excessive production of food waste. The revised value regime theorization offers a new and more holistic way of understanding and contextualizing how and where consumer movements mobilize for change. It also provides a new tool for understanding systemic value creation and the role of consumers in such processes.

Abstract:
This article brings together research on political consumerism, social movements and markets to analyse the phenomenon of fair trade coffee. It does this to demonstrate the influence of organised consumers in shaping markets, and to show that people are not inevitably individualised and seduced by the power of corporate marketing. The case of fair trade coffee is used because of the pivotal role of coffee in the global economy. ‘Organised consumers’ are treated as comprised of three inter-connecting, fluid, components: an activist core, responsible for building the campaign and its alternative trade networks; a widely dispersed alliance of civil society and social movement organisations, articulating the connections between trade justice, human rights and wellbeing; and an ‘outer edge’ of quasi-organised consumers acting as part of a largely imagined group by using economic capital to express cultural and political values. Despite saturated markets, and oligopoly among suppliers in a highly rationalised supply chain, such consumer movements have been instrumental in an emerging new trade paradigm, which has influenced the business and product strategies of trans-national corporations. The creation, and rising sales, of Fair Trade products are evidence of the role of consumers as sceptical actors, challenging consumerism and the ethics of a supply chain which impoverishes coffee farmers. Although the future trajectories of fair trade campaigns and products are uncertain, their growth indicates that people continue to draw on sources of social identity beyond that of ‘consumer’.

Abstract:
This paper examines the consumer movement in Malaysia, especially the Consumers' Association of Penang and the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations. It traces their history from the late 1960s, through a period of rapid social and economic change associated with the New Economic Policy of the 1970s and 1980s. Partly because of the absence of other NGOs in Malaysia (due to government clampdowns on civil society), consumer groups were able to take a prominent position and to develop socio-political campaigns on behalf of the poor and the disadvantaged. This proved an inspiration to consumer organizing globally, especially in the developed world, but it is not clear that consumerism as a social movement can be sustained. Since the mid-1980s, other NGOs have emerged, eclipsing the influence of consumerism, and promoting a human rights agenda which has overtaken the politics of consumption as the dominant oppositional rhetoric of non-governmental groups.

Abstract:
This research focuses on the frequent and persistent problem of truck shortages for time-sensitive, perishable produce shipment out of the Pacific Northwest. Washington State is the number one apple-producing state in the United States, accounting for more than 2.7 million tons of apples per year valued in excess of $1 billion. However, without timely and accessible transportation to move the product from production to the consumer's table, the value to apple producers and the state's economy diminishes rapidly. This research aims to identify and quantify the change in total transportation cost that occurs as a result of seasonal truck shortages and associated rate increases and to provide an avenue for evaluating changes in specific destination markets, modal changes, and market competitiveness. A cost-minimizing optimization model is used to represent apple shipments from 29 producing supply points to 16 domestic markets and three international export markets over four seasons for two modes (truck and rail). Total transportation costs increase nearly $12 million as a result of truck shortages, from $245.6 million without shortages to $257.5 million under the current seasonal situation. Overall (across all seasons), the export markets of Nogales, Arizona; McAllen, Texas; and the Port of Seattle, Washington, are most affected by the truck shortages, followed by domestic markets near Seattle and San Francisco, California. The large markets of New York City, New York, and Los Angeles, California also experience relatively large increases in transportation cost per ton mile.

Abstract:
The global warming phenomenon and its environmental impacts have seen the emergence of the green consumer who has become more aware of their power of demand through their consumption choices as they express their own attitudes, values, thoughts, feelings and behaviours in this regard. Organisations have taken cognisance of these trends and taken steps to exploit the opportunity by developing goods and services aimed at meeting the demands of the new consumer. This, in spite of the fact that knowledge of the variables, specifically green consumer profiles, awareness, knowledge and trust in influencing purchasing behaviour remains incomplete. The purpose of this treatise was to determine a clearer understanding of the relevance of these variables to enable marketers to craft more effective marketing strategies, thereby unlocking the profit potential of the green consumer. A model for green product purchasing behaviour was proposed based on extant literature and an empirical evaluation. An empirical analysis was conducted on a sample of 597 consumers over the age of 18 within the Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG) sector in South Africa. The main goal was to establish the relationships of the hypothesised model between the independent variables of green consumer profiles, green product trust, green product awareness and green product knowledge with the dependant variable green product purchase behaviour. There was a high prevalence of African and European female respondents in the 26 to 55 age group, living and working in the coastal areas of South Africa, predominantly Port Elizabeth, earning an income between 10 000 and 30 000 rand per month. The sample was consistent with the psychographic profile of the green consumer as described in the literature, which is characterised as a consumer that takes personal responsibility for environmental solutions, who believes they can make a contribution to solving environmental issues, incorporates green living into daily lives, considers environmental issues when making purchasing decisions, is knowledgeable of, deliberately seeks out and is prepared to pay a premium for environmentally friendly products. When analysing the relationships and the significances of the differences of the independent variables to the dependant variable in the hypothesised model, it was established that the independent variables green consumer profiles, green product awareness and green product trust were significantly related to the dependent variable. A MODEL FOR GREEN PRODUCT PURCHASING BEHAVIOUR green product purchase behaviour. This was in line with and supported the reviewed literature in this regard. It was also established that green product knowledge did not reflect any significant relationship to green product purchase behaviour. This finding did not correspond with the literature as significant relationships with green product knowledge and general environmental behaviour including green product purchase behaviours have been established therein. The findings further demonstrated that the independent variable green consumer profiles displayed the most significant relationship to green product purchase behaviour, followed by green product awareness and then green product trust. When considering the significance in the differences in strengths of these relationships it was noted that although green product awareness and trust may influence green product purchase behaviours it was a combination of psychographic variables reflecting a consumer’s general attitudes and beliefs towards the green agenda that displays the most significant relationship to green product purchase behaviour. Despite the fact that the study was limited to the South African FMCG sector, the profile of the green consumer in the literature was dated, the cause and effect relationships between the variables were not tested and the fact that the hypothesised model was limited to only four independent variables, the above findings may, from a marketing perspective, have practical application for marketing strategies aimed at increasing green product purchasing behaviour. The results imply that directing green marketing initiatives to consumers that are most inclined to purchase and consume green goods or services being those that fall within the biographical and psychographic parameters outlined in this treatise will result in the desired outcomes. Furthermore, marketers should also pursue initiatives that are known to support and increase the amount of green product trust that consumers have in green products, green communications and the organisation. Marketers can also benefit from well formulated green awareness campaigns as the success of these campaigns will yield greater green product awareness which could increase green product purchase behaviours and purchases of green products still further.

Currently, there is a context of expanding market of organic products, stimulated by the increased demand of public policies for the sector of family farming and for the increasing offer of organic products in supermarkets and other channels, such as fairs, specialized stores and Internet. The input of organic in supermarkets tends to be seen as part of the ?conventionalization? of organic agriculture and as a force that would leads to reduction or even disappearance of alternative commercialization channels. However, is noticed that collective shopping experiences of organic products remain, persist and even grow in the country. This work object is the Ecological Network, an association of organic products consumers, created in 2001 in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in order to facilitate homes' supplies with organic food and help small farmers to drain their production. The main issue of this research is to understand the permanence of such association of consumers in the context of changes in the role played by both State and market facing the organic agriculture. As conclusion, it was pointed that the Ecological Network has been updating and expanding the meanings and senses of their practices of organic products purchase, perceived by its members as an alternative, "more politicized" and thus differentiated when related to shopping through other channels. The difference, according to associates, seems to lie in the fact that in the Network, the purchase of organic is done in an organized and collective way, and therefore committed not only to the personal health, the small farmer and the environment, but also with the management of the Network and with the fight in the public sphere by issues related to food and organic farming family. So, despite the purchase be the structuring activity of the Ecological Network, there is a perception among its members, that the shopping, by itself, is not a sufficient form of participation and is not seen as an efficient way to fight for more meaningful changes in society. Thus, at the same time that the Ecological Network is inserted in a context of spillover of the political sphere for individual actions, such as the consumption, it remains the notion of politics as synonymous of collective participation. This leads us to think that the Network represents, for its members, a space that promotes materialization of values and political participation in society. In this sense, can be understood in the process of greenerism and politicization of consumption and, yet in the context of New Social Economic Movements
Atualmente, observa-se um contexto de expans?o da comercializa??o de produtos org?nicos, estimulado pelo aumento da demanda, por pol?ticas p?blicas para o setor da agricultura familiar e pela amplia??o da oferta de produtos org?nicos em supermercados e em outros canais, como feiras, lojas especializadas e Internet. A entrada de org?nicos nos supermercados tende a ser vista como parte do processo de ?convencionaliza??o? da agricultura org?nica e como uma for?a que levaria ? redu??o ou mesmo ao desaparecimento dos canais alternativos de comercializa??o. No entanto, observa-se que experi?ncias de compras coletivas de produtos org?nicos se mant?m, persistem e at? mesmo crescem pelo pa?s. Este trabalho tem por objeto a Rede Ecol?gica, uma associa??o de consumidores de produtos org?nicos, criada em 2001, no Rio de Janeiro/RJ, com o objetivo de facilitar o abastecimento dos lares com alimentos org?nicos e de ajudar o pequeno produtor a escoar sua produ??o. A quest?o central desta pesquisa ? compreender a perman?ncia deste tipo de associa??o de consumidores em um contexto de mudan?as no papel desempenhado tanto pelo Estado quanto pelo mercado frente ? agricultura familiar org?nica. Como conclus?o, apontamos que a Rede Ecol?gica vem atualizando e ampliando os significados e os sentidos de suas pr?ticas de compra de produtos org?nicos, percebidas por seus membros como alternativas, ?mais politizadas? e, portanto, diferenciadas em rela??o ?s compras em outros canais. A diferen?a, de acordo com os associados, parece estar no fato de que, na Rede, a compra de org?nicos ? feita de forma organizada e coletiva e, portanto, comprometida n?o s? com a sa?de pessoal, o pequeno produtor e o meio ambiente, mas tamb?m com a gest?o da Rede e com a luta na esfera p?blica por temas referentes ? alimenta??o e ? agricultura familiar org?nica. Assim, apesar da compra ser a atividade estruturante da Rede Ecol?gica, h? uma percep??o, entre seus associados, de que a compra, por si s?, n?o constitui uma forma suficiente de participa??o, bem como n?o ? vista como uma maneira eficiente de lutar por mudan?as mais significativas na sociedade. Deste modo, ao mesmo tempo em que a Rede Ecol?gica est? inserida em um contexto de transbordamento da esfera pol?tica para a??es individuais, a exemplo das propostas de consumo sustent?vel ou respons?vel, mantem a no??o de pol?tica como sin?nimo de participa??o coletiva. Isso nos leva a pensar que a Rede representa, para seus membros, um espa?o de materializa??o de valores e de participa??o pol?tica na sociedade. Neste sentido, pode ser compreendida como parte do processo de ambientaliza??o e politiza??o do consumo e, ainda, no contexto dos Novos Movimentos Sociais Econ?micos

Abstract:
My research interest is to understand consumer behavior related to transnationalism. In this dissertation, I address three questions concerning consumption and transnationalism. First, I situate transnationalism within the extensive body of work in consumer culture theory on globalization. Second, I examine one aspect of transnationalism: transnational consumer lifestyle that characterizes the lifestyle of individuals who simultaneously work and/or live in multiple countries (Glick Schiller et al. 1999). This is an interesting context to re-examine important consumer behavior phenomena, including consumer acculturation, relationship to home in contemporary globalization, and the role of consumption in managing a fragmented and multicentered life. Third, I examine another aspect of transnationalism: transnational consumer movement facilitated by transnational digital spaces. Transnational digital spaces, such as social media platforms, facilitate connections between activists, transnational news agencies, and political and social figures and institutions across borders and have the potential to empower some consumers, specifically those in totalitarian societies. I believe these are important phenomena that shape contemporary global consumer culture, but they have received little attention in consumer research thus far.

Abstract:
Entering into the 21st century, sustainable living has become a popular topic of concern for scientists and engineers, politicians, news reporters and individuals alike. Most importantly though, sustainable living has become popular to the modern consumer, and many firms are attempting to understand and cater their efforts to the ecologically conscious consumer. Previous studies have shown that the use of psychographics, as opposed to demographics, result in more significant results that can help firms identify ecologically conscious consumers. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between consumers who identify as pescetarian, vegetarian, or vegan, and their respective participation in the green movement in terms of their pro-environmental attitudes and their purchase behaviors. Consumers' reason for choosing an alternative diet, their relative commitment to the alternative diet, as well as their level of green participation based on the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale and the Ecologically Conscious Consumer Behavior (ECCB) scale was measure and analyzed. Additionally, a conclusion and discussion of the study, potential marketing implications, and suggestions for future studies will be reviewed.

Abstract:
The British Consumer Co-operative Movement was a pioneer of the industrial film. The Movement engaged with cinema from the late 1890s and film was used to promote its ideals and trade well into the twentieth century. Existing studies of Labour cinema in Britain have paid little attention to the film propaganda of Co-operators and this thesis challenges the historiography for being too concerned with a narrowly defined political activism and chronologically restricted to the decade 1929-1939. An examination of the cinema of Co-operation reveals a far broader engagement with film; both in terms of its role in promoting a moralistic form of distribution, which sought to replace Capitalism and the exploitative profit system; and in the Movement's notable achievements with film both before and after the pre-World War two decade. The thesis begins by considering the treatment of the Co-operative Movement by Labour historians, and demonstrates an equal diminishing of its role in workers' cultural and economic struggle as that characteristic of Labour film scholars. The historiographical analysis is succeeded by an examination of the culture of Co-operation, considering the Movement as an alternative and oppositional formation to the dominant society, and proceeds to survey some of the principal cultural and recreational activities and formations sponsored by Co-op Societies: education, drama, music, sport, holidays and the family. The historiographical and cultural analysis contextually informs the succeeding historical examination of the Co-operative Movement's engagement with film in the period 1896-1970. This work arises out of a close inspection of the primary evidence preserved in the wealth of literature put out by the Movement. The observations and conclusions presented here are significantly informed by a reading and analysis of the numerous Movement films, the majority of which have never been consulted by film scholars before, and have come to light and been preserved as a part of the research conducted for the thesis. A detailed critical filmography, presented as an appendix, supplements the thesis.

Abstract:
Black Lives Matter rörelsen engagerade människor både internationellt och nationellt under våren 2020. Företag var inte sena med att ta ställning och visa deras stöd i frågan, vilket ledde till olika typer av reaktioner bland deras konsumenter. Denna studie ämnar undersöka svenska konsumenters attityd gentemot företag som använder sig av brand activism som svar på sociala rörelser, där Black Lives Matter valts som empiriskt kontext. Studien ämnar också besvara vilka de viktigaste aspekterna bakom konsumenters attityd är. En förstudie har gjorts genom netnografi och empiri har samlats in genom en webbenkät med 260 svenska respondenter. Studiens analys och resultat tyder på att respondenternas generella inställning till brand activism är positiv i de fall då respondenterna anser att den sociala rörelsen som stöttas är viktig. Det finns dock tre dimensioner som påverkar den övergripande attityden. Dessa är autentiskt innehåll, attityd gentemot företaget och värdet i handlingar. Inom dessa dimensioner utrönas flertalet teman där företagets historia och storlek, innehållet i själva budskapet samt att det genomsyrar organisationen är de viktigaste. Vidare är även temana utbildande, genuin och handlingskraftig kommunikation inom brand activism viktiga delar att ta med sig från resultatet.
The Black Lives Matter movement engaged people both internationally and nationally in the spring of 2020. Companies were not late to join in and show their support in favour of the movement, which led to various reactions among their consumers. This study aims to examine the attitude of Swedish consumers towards companies that use brand activism as a response to social movements, where the Black Lives Matter movement serves as an empirical context. The study also intends to answer what the key aspects behind the studied consumer attitudes are. A prestudy has been done through netnography and empirical data has been collected for the main study through a web survey with 260 Swedish respondents. The study’s analysis and results indicate that the respondents’ general attitude towards the use of brand activism is positive in cases where the respondents believe that the social movement being endorsed is of importance. However, there are three dimensions that affect the overall attitude. These are authentic content, attitude towards the company and the value of actions. Within these dimensions several themes are identified, where the company’s history and size, the content of the message itself and that it permeates the organization are the most important. Furthermore, the themes of educational, genuine and actionable communication within brand activism are also important takeaways from the result.

Abstract:
“Local,” “organic,” “natural,” and “Fairtrade” are just several of the many claims adorning the food products that line grocery store shelves. These promises of environmental sustainability and social responsibility are pillars of the “good food revolution” sweeping the nation as consumers demand alternatives to the products of the industrial food system. Green consumerism, the premise that consumer demand for environmentally sustainable goods will bring about ecologically beneficial outcomes, is at the heart of the sustainable food movement. This thesis takes a critical look at the operation of green consumerism in the food system. It explores the ideology and shortcomings of neoliberal consumer-citizenship that informs the “vote with your fork” rhetoric promoted throughout alternative food markets. Examining the plant-based foods movement as a case study, it attempts to shed light on aspects of food production that are obscured by the promises of “conscious consumption,” such as environmental impacts, accessibility, and reinforcement of the dominant dietary and patriarchal paradigm. Ultimately, the emphasis on consumerism as a means to remedy the failures of the industrial food system instead perpetuates social inequalities and environmental exploitation while relieving powerful institutions and the public of the responsibility to enact significant change. This thesis concludes with recommendations for a multi-sectored approach to the good food revolution that incorporates government, corporate, and grassroots action to bring about a truly sustainable food system.

Abstract:
The promise of cheap and widely available 3D printers may be one of the best and worst aspects of Additive Manufacturing (AM). A non-technical consumer may pay significantly more for a 3D printer with “no assembly required”. Since it is reasonable to assume that they may not understand how the printer works and what will come out of it, they may wind up returning it because it does not meet their expectations. While consumers are starting to use 3D printers, designers in industry are utilizing Rapid Prototyping (RP) machines to manufacture final products in addition to prototypes. Designers will need to know AM principles in order to communicate design specifications to a RP lab technician so that a part passes Quality Assurance inspection. Training users on fundamental layer-based manufacturing methods can assist before and after a 3D printer purchase and reduce the strain on RP labs in industry. This paper presents an extensible software application that simulates an AM process in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. The application parses machine component movements and printed segment attributes from G-code files exported from the MakerBot® Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. Position, speed, and type of movement are used to simulate the physical machine movements. A print “segment” is created at the start and end positions of a print movement. Color-coding segment attributes and modifying their size and shape establishes a visual relationship between terminology for a print setting and its representation in the virtual environment. This visual relationship between printed segments and print settings makes it easier to learn the 3D printing process and associated terminology. Novice and expert users can modify print settings in the virtual environment before and after printing a prototype. Identifying and fixing a mistake in the virtual environment reduces the time and cost to print a part with the desired quality. Training multidisciplinary users in a virtual world allows them to explore AM processes in detail from any angle or scale desired. This application has been tested in a cube shaped virtual reality CAVE system with each side measuring ten feet powered by a 96-node graphics computer cluster. Approximately 20 hours of demonstrations have been performed for public outreach programs related to STEM initiatives and visitors from industry who have had a variety of AM experience.

Abstract:
Pressure ulcers remain a significant secondary complication for many wheelchair users, having significant adverse impacts on the health, function and independence of wheelchair users. Research suggests that both the magnitude and duration of loading on tissues can lead to tissue necrosis. This motivated research to measure the in-seat movement of wheelchair users as a means to characterize time of loading. During these research activities, the consistent finding was that persons were not adhering to their weight shift regimens as taught during rehabilitation. This served as motivation to develop a consumer product to inform users of their activities. The transition from a research tool to a consumer product is endowed with challenges. This paper describes the technology as well as the activities required to make this transition. Specific design challenges included attention to usability and device engagement and the need for near real-time data management and analysis to inform users of their in-seat movements.

Abstract:
Coordinating transactions among companies that allow the appropriate movement of goods, services, and information to consumers from suppliers effectively and efficiently still is hard to accomplish. There are many situations in which the logistic performance failed, frequently because of the difficul-ty of synchronising the business technological systems with the logistic processes, thereby yielding disastrous consequences. Thus causing the loss of time, money, and even certain companies could close and will be weeded out if they do not cope with application of e-logistics while performing their business. This article presents discussion of e-logistics and its application in e-commerce. The applica-tion of innovative solutions in logistics will yield posititve outcomes that will help improve the compa-ny’s overall performance. The consumer satisfaction by e-commerce will be taken in consideration, and in particular by e-logistic solutions. Such methods as literature review, synthesis and and compar-ison wil be employed.

Abstract:
The rise of the accountability movement in education has resulted in the proliferation of school report cards, school ratings and rankings, and other kinds of performance reporting for public consumption and policy use. To understand the strengths and limitations of school rating systems and the role they play in shaping public perceptions and school improvement practices, this paper situates rating systems within the broader field of comparative organizational assessments and neo-institutional theory; describes school rankings and rating systems in use by states and consumer-oriented enterprises; and details four aspects of school ratings (measurement, transformation, integration, and presentation) that affect their use and interpretation.

Abstract:
Economic reasons are among the basic explanatory factors of migration, whether international or internally within a country. In turn, migratory movements have effects on the economy in terms of economic growth in general, but also in the different markets (work, housing, consumer goods, etc.) and public services (education, health, social services, etc.). The purpose of this document is to offer an overview of these interactions between migration and the economy in the case of the Canary Islands. To do this, certain conceptual clarifications will be made initially involving the mutual determination of both processes, before later providing specifics with evidence on the Canarian case for the main issues considered: the economic reasons for migration, and its impact on economic growth, the labour market and the living conditions of the immigrant population. The final section alludes to the importance of the institutional framework that regulates these relations between migration and the economy, which are far from being interpretable as a mechanical relationship and isolated from the political sphere.

Abstract:
The internet and digital technologies are upending global trade. Industries and supply chains are being transformed, and the movement of data across borders is now central to the operation of the global economy. Provisions in trade agreements address many aspects of the digital economy – from cross-border data flows, to the protection of citizens’ personal data, and the regulation of the internet and new technologies like artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making. The UK government has identified digital trade as a priority in its Global Britain strategy and one of the main sources of economic growth to recover from the pandemic. It wants the UK to play a leading role in setting the international standards and regulations that govern the global digital economy. The regulation of digital trade is a fast-evolving and contentious issue, and the US, European Union (EU), and China have adopted different approaches. Now that the UK has left the EU, it will need to navigate across multiple and often conflicting digital realms. The UK needs to decide which policy objectives it will prioritise, how to regulate the digital economy domestically, and how best to achieve its priorities when negotiating international trade agreements. There is an urgent need to develop a robust, evidence-based approach to the UK’s digital trade strategy that takes into account the perspectives of businesses, workers, and citizens, as well as the approaches of other countries in the global economy. This working paper aims to inform UK policy debates by assessing the state of play in digital trade globally. The authors present a detailed analysis of five policy areas that are central to discussions on digital trade for the UK: cross-border data flows and privacy; internet access and content regulation; intellectual property and innovation; e-commerce (including trade facilitation and consumer protection); and taxation (customs duties on e-commerce and digital services taxes). In each of these areas the authors compare and contrast the approaches taken by the US, EU and China, discuss the public policy implications, and examine the choices facing the UK.
