1) The document discusses using geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze regional trade integration in South Asia. It summarizes the functions and benefits of a proposed GIS application and database for the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
2) Three scenarios for infrastructure investments are simulated using an economic geography model to analyze their effects on income growth across districts. Significant income gains are observed, with many peripheral areas benefiting dramatically from improved connectivity.
3) Next steps proposed include developing the GIS application for broader use, partnering to open access while ensuring data security and integrity, and refining the database to support regional investment planning and target-setting.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning.

This paper analyzes how the value of political capital varies across different institutional domains in China's transitioning market economy. The researchers conducted a transaction-focused analysis to compare advantages from political connections. Their results show political capital is most valuable in domains where the government restricts economic activity. This suggests China may have experienced a transition tipping point around 2000, as the value of political connections there does not differ fundamentally from patterns in established market economies. The paper aims to provide a nuanced view of political capital's fungibility across different transaction types and institutional settings.
This document discusses the U.S. model of capitalism and its influence internationally. It makes three key points:
1. The postwar U.S. model encouraged other countries to adopt American-style capitalism, but attempts to export the model involved hybridization as countries adapted it to their own institutions.
2. Challenges to the U.S. model came from the success of Japanese firms and rapidly industrializing Asian countries that did not strictly follow Western prescriptions.
3. The current financial crisis has weakened the appeal of the U.S. model and its reliance on deregulated financial markets, leading to interest in alternative models of capitalism.

This study examined the positioning techniques used by political marketers to appeal to young voters in India. The researcher conducted a survey of 46 youth to understand the impact of different techniques. The survey found that banners, flags and paintings had the most influence, followed by processions and rallies. It also found that Facebook was the most popular social media platform and debates on news channels sometimes changed views. However, the time spent on various media did not consistently correlate with their influence on voting decisions. The study provided insight into how political parties can most effectively connect with and influence young Indian voters.
Knowledge management processes allow enterprises to improve outcomes and make better decisions faster.

Scott Stratten gave a webinar on how to effectively pitch the media. Some key points included: treating PR as a two-way conversation to build relationships, not just broadcasting messages; creating unique, individualized messages for each media contact; following up on pitches; and focusing on creating "Uber PR" by developing content that gets shared widely on its own merits and reaches beyond one's immediate network. The goal is to get content shared by those with no direct connection to help it spread to a third circle of audiences.

1) The Public Affairs Committee (PAC) disseminates OECD publications through multiple channels to reach wider audiences, translating summaries into 26 languages.
2) PAC adds value by ensuring OECD publications are noticed through active dissemination strategies, distributing over 17,000 items per year from 400 publications.
3) Without PAC, dissemination of OECD publications would be reduced by over 92.5%, from over 1 million downloads and print books to a small fraction reaching audiences. PAC plays a key role in making OECD knowledge accessible globally.
