The document analyzes the determinants of the financial crisis, identifying three key factors: 1) Low interest rates increased the supply of credit. 2) Rising income inequality and growth of institutional investors increased demand for mortgages and securitized bonds. 3) The rise of shadow banking and enabling factors allowed risks to accumulate in the financial system.
This document outlines New Zealand's approach to national security which focuses on building resilience through a systems approach. It emphasizes managing risks, reducing vulnerabilities, and building resilience within the same framework. Recent crises in New Zealand like earthquakes and industrial accidents highlighted the importance of this approach and lessons around strengthening infrastructure, community support, and adaptive emergency management.

This document summarizes the work of the OECD's Inclusive Growth Initiative. It established a multidimensional framework to measure inclusive growth that accounts for income as well as non-income factors like employment and health. Between 2012-2014, the initiative delivered reports applying this framework and identifying policy areas that can boost both growth and inclusiveness. Going forward, it will refine the methodology, integrate inclusive growth analysis across policy sectors, and conduct national and regional case studies to strengthen the evidence base and mainstream inclusive growth policymaking.

The document discusses measurement of inclusive growth presented at a seminar. It introduces a formula for measuring inclusive growth that considers average household income, differences in health and unemployment as a percentage of income, equivalent income for household groups, and an inequality measure. The presentation proposes updating the data to 2011, developing data on health inequalities, testing different specifications for a "jobs" component, and comparing the inclusive growth measure to other indicators such as measures of subjective well-being.
Tmkaberd castle had a brave knight named Tatul as its king who successfully defended the castle from attacks by its enemy, King Nadir. However, Tatul's beautiful wife betrayed him by opening the castle gates for Nadir after she was bribed with promises of gold and servants. Nadir and his soldiers then killed Tatul, his warriors, and Tatul's wife after Tatul and his men had drunk wine and fallen asleep. The legend teaches that nothing is more dangerous for a knight than wine and women.
This document summarizes research on how inequality affects economic growth and human capital accumulation. The key points are:
1. Analysis of OECD countries finds that lower net income inequality is linked to higher economic growth rates. Reducing inequality by 1 Gini point could increase annual GDP growth by 0.2 percentage points.
2. Inequality at the bottom of the income distribution, not the top, appears to negatively impact growth.
3. Inequality reduces human capital accumulation, but only for those from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds. It lowers their education levels and skills proficiency even when controlling for education. This suggests inequality decreases opportunities for the poor.
The document discusses the use of narratives and numbers in climate change science and policymaking. It notes that while climate models provide quantitative projections, there is still significant uncertainty. Narratives are therefore also used to describe potential climate futures in a qualitative way. The "2 degree Celsius" narrative in particular aims to motivate climate action by framing 2C as the maximum safe level of warming. However, it emerged indirectly and its cost-benefit analysis is still debated. The document argues that to best inform policymaking, climate projections need to better integrate narratives with socioeconomic factors to assess impacts across scales and sectors. Foresight approaches should combine top-down and bottom-up methods to explore uncertain long-term issues like climate change.

1) The document discusses new approaches to addressing environmental challenges. It focuses on three projects examining the costs of policy inaction on issues like climate change, the impact of tighter environmental policies on productivity, and the economic and social effects of environmental reforms.
2) It finds that the costs of inaction on climate change are substantial, with global damages estimated to reach 5-9% of GDP by 2100 under a business as usual scenario. Tighter environmental policies also do not necessarily harm productivity when properly designed.
3) The document advocates assessing reforms using macroeconomic models and microsimulation to evaluate their efficiency, environmental effectiveness, and distributional consequences like the impact of fossil fuel subsidy phase outs on household income.
1) Policy makers often use simple models to address complex policy questions, which can create tensions as real-world systems tend to be complex with emergent and networked properties.
2) Work by David Tuckett on narratives in financial markets illustrates complexity, as investors make decisions under uncertainty based on sense-making narratives rather than rational utility maximization.
3) Examples of interactions between complexity academics and policymakers, like projects applying complexity science to real cases, show potential for better addressing complex problems but also questions if current structures support such work.
Yerevan has been the capital of Armenia since 1918 and has a long history dating back to 782 BC when the fortress of Erebuni was founded, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. As the largest city in Armenia, Yerevan sits along the Hrazdan River and serves as the cultural, administrative and industrial center of the country, having become Armenia's principal center for culture, art, industry and national government after World War I.

The poster presentation is about the Swedish pop band ABBA. It provides information on the band members whose first initials make up the band's name. It also notes that ABBA has sold between 140-500 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The poster includes photos of the band and lists some of the presenter's favorite ABBA songs.

Malia has many shops selling soaps and souvenirs, as well as tasty food from Greece and other countries. There are also fun dolls outside the shops good for photos. Sights include the Palace of Malia from 1800 BC and the soft sandy seaside is great for swimming, building sandcastles, and relaxing in nature.
2. ՓԱՍՏԵՐ ՍՏԻ ՄԱՍԻՆ
• 1. Հոգեբանները հավատացնում են, որ ցանկացած մարդ 1 օրում 200անգամ սուտ է
խոսում:
• 2. Գիտնականների ուսումնասիրությունները ցույց տվեցին, որ որքան մարդը
կրթված է, այնքան ավելի շատ է սուտ խոսում:
• 3. Տղամարդիկ առավել շատ են ստում, քան կանայք` հատկապես դատարկ
բաներում:
• 4. Որպեսզի հնարավոր լինի տարբերել իրականությունը հորինվածքից հարկավոր է
ուշադրություն դարձնել խոսակցության ժամանակ մի քանի նշանների
• 5. Եթե մարդը ստում է, ապա դուք կլսեք պատմություն այն բանի մաին, թե որքան
լավն էր սնունդը, հիանալի էր եղանակը, ինչ հույզեր է ունեցել այս կամ այն
իրադարձություններից, իսկ մարդկանց մասին միայն մի քանի թռուցիկ ակնարկ:
3. ՄԱՐՄՆԻ ՇԱՐԺՈՒՄՆԵՐԸ
• Եթե ձեր զրուցակիցը պատմելու ընթացքում ձեռքերով հպվում է
դեմքին, փակում է քիթը, բերանը, ապա դա նշան է, որ
գիտակցորեն պատնեշ է ստեղծում ձեր մեջ: Հարկավոր է նաև
ուշադրություն դարձնել այն փաստին, որ զրուցակիցը անընդհատ,
գնում է մեկ քայլ հետ. Դա նշան է, որ նա ցնականում է հեռու մնալ
ձեզանից և ինչ-որ բան չբացահայտել: Հստակ ուշադրություն
դարձրեք, երբ ձեր դիմացինը հարցին պատասխանելիս հետ է
քայլում կամ գլուխը ներքև կամ վերև է պահում. Դա նույնպես
փակվելու փորձ է:
4. ՀՈՒՅԶԵՐԸ
• Ստի բացահայտման ժամանակ չափազանց կարևոր է դիմացինի
հույզերին հետևելը, քանզի շատ հույզեր անկառավարելի են
մարդկանց համար, և դժվար է դրանք թաքցնելը: Ամերիկացի
հոգեբան Պաուլ Էկմանը, որը ակտիվ կերպով ուսումնասիրում էր
մարդկային հույզերի տեսակներն ու դրսևորումները, պնդում է, որ
մկանները, որոնք կառավարում են դեմքը, գիտակցությունը չի
կարողանում կառավարել, այսինքն` կեղծ ժպիտը քիչ թե շատ
հնարավոր է տարրանջատել անկեղծ ժպիտից:
5. ԱՉՔԵՐԻ ՇԱՐԺՈՒՄՆԵՐԸ
• Ճիշտ է ասված, որ աչքերը հոգու հայելին են: Դրա գիտական
բացատրությունն այն է, որ աչքերը իրականում շատ ակտիվ
մասնակցում են մտածողության գործընթացներին: Նրանք
անընդհատ գտնվում են շարժման մեջ և ընդունում են դիրք`
կախված այն բանից, թե ուղեղի որ շրջանն է տվյալ պահին
ակտիվ: Իմանալով այդ ամենը` կարելի է մշտապես տեղեկություն
ունենալ այն մասին, թե ինչով է զբաղված այդ պահին ուղեղը:
6. ՀԱՅԱՑՔԻ ՈՒՂՂՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ
• Աջ վերև- երևակայական հիշողության ակտիվացում
• Ձախ վերև- նկարի կոնստրուկտավորում
• Ձախ- հորինում է ձայն
• Աջ- փորձում է հիշել, այն ինչ լսել է
• Ներքև և ձախ- ստուգում է զգացողությունները և հույզերը
• Ներքև աջ- վերլուծում է իրավիճակը
• Ուղիղ- տեղեկատվության ընկալում
