This document provides recommendations for things to do and places to visit in Naples, Italy. It recommends bringing sunscreen as it is a hot city, visiting beaches and historic places like the Nuovo Castle, and eating at Cafe Gambrinus to try dishes like pizza toscana, beef, and cheese. Important places to see include the old city and Piazza del gezú, and the Romeo Hotel is recommended for accommodations. The best time to visit is January when airport crowds are smaller and there are affordable family-friendly activities.
This document contains 11 black and white photography projects by Lexi Kehl for her DP1 photography class. Each project includes the title, a photographic technique or concept explored, and is identified as a black and white photograph. The techniques and concepts explored include triad, center of interest, physical framing, visual tension, leading lines, filling the frame, repetition, perspective, psychological tension, chaos, and S-curves.
This document discusses output volatility in emerging economies and how it is shaped by global and regional shocks. It finds that all economies are more sensitive to global and regional shocks than domestic shocks, though emerging economies are slightly more impacted by domestic shocks than developed economies. The document analyzes output and consumption volatility data from 102 countries across 5 regions. It finds heterogeneity across regions, with Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America exhibiting higher consumption and output volatility compared to other regions. The document also examines the relationship between savings and investment across regions and the role of financial institutions in this relationship.

Georges Méliès was a French filmmaker and magician born in Paris in 1861. He is considered one of the earliest pioneers of cinema. Some of his most famous films included A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Coronation of Edward VII (1902). While initially successful, Méliès faced bankruptcy after WWI and disappeared from public life, working instead as a toy salesman. He has since been recognized for his technical and narrative innovations in early cinema through films and books about his life and work.
The rapid rate of technological change can be overwhelming. Everyone sometimes needs to have a virtual CIO on call.

This paper studies how government dynamics impact output volatility in MENA economies. While emerging economies tend to have pro-cyclical fiscal policies, the effect of government on aggregate volatility has more to do with its quality than its size. The model developed accounts for a productive government sector that supplies public goods while facing tax collection inefficiencies and corruption, which impact fiscal and tax wedges. Estimates based on the model show that countries with more moderate output volatility and insignificant fiscal-output correlations, like Tunisia and Egypt, have stronger institutions.
