Domestically Issued Public Debt As A Sustainable Alternative
Armenia has issued domestic public debt since 1995 to finance government activities and borrowing needs. Domestic debt currently makes up a larger portion of Armenia's total public debt than in the past. However, Armenia's domestic debt market has weaknesses like high interest rates, a weak investor base consisting mostly of commercial banks, and a thin secondary market. To develop Armenia's domestic debt market in a sustainable way, the document recommends that Armenia establish a debt management strategy, implement pension reforms, broaden its network of primary dealers, and standardize debt instruments and issuance calendars.
Civil Society and Corruption
This document summarizes research on Armenian public perceptions of NGOs and corruption. The research questions examined how NGOs are perceived in relation to corruption, and whether certain groups are more willing to counter corruption. The results found that NGOs have a "shallow positive" image and are not well known. Those willing to counter corruption tended to be urban residents of Yerevan and Tavush with higher education and incomes in the 120,000-240,000 AMD range monthly. Anti-corruption activists constituted around 1% of respondents.

Freedom of Expression and Censorship in Armenia
This document summarizes the results of a sociological study on public perceptions of freedom of expression in Armenia. It describes the methodology, including focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The main findings show that perceptions of freedom of expression differ based on context, with more tolerance in economic and legal spheres compared to individual and political spheres. Participants' views are categorized into traditional, political, and liberal types of thinking regarding acceptable limitations and regulation of freedom of expression.
Tabloid vs Broadsheet
The document summarizes the key differences between tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. Tabloid newspapers have a bolder layout with more images and shorter articles aimed at lower social groups. Broadsheet newspapers have a plainer layout with longer, more in-depth articles aimed at higher social groups. Broadsheets focus more on serious international and political news, while tabloids focus more on celebrity gossip and human interest stories.

Purpose of The Article Critique Paper
1). Psychological Purpose
This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This article critique paper will help you learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading at least one peer-reviewed articles (articles that have a Title Page, Abstract*, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page—I have already selected some articles for you to critique, so make sure you only critique one in the folder provided on Blackboard). This paper will also give you some insights into how the results sections are written in APA formatted research articles. Pay close attention to those sections, as throughout this course you’ll be writing up some results of your own!
In this relatively short paper, you will read one of five articles posted on blackboard and summarize what the authors did and what they found. The first part of the paper should focus on summarizing the design the authors used for their project. That is, you will identify the independent and dependent variables, talk about how the authors carried out their study, and then summarize the results (you don’t need to fully understand the statistics in the results, but try to get a sense of what the authors did in their analyses). In the second part of the paper, you will critique the article for its methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, in part three, you will provide your references for the Article Critique Paper in APA format.
2). APA Formatting Purpose
The second purpose of the Article Critique paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook! I highly recommend using the Paper I Checklist before submitting your paper, as it will help walk you through the picky nuances of APA formatting.
3). Writing Purpose
Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar.
*Most peer-reviewed articles do include an abstract, but the articles you will see on Blackboard lack an Abstract. There is a good reason for this, which you’ll find out about in a later paper!

That is, you will identify the independent and dependent variables, talk about how the authors carried out their study, and then summarize the results (you don’t need to fully understand the statistics in the results, but try to get a sense of what the authors did in their analyses). In the second part of the paper, you will critique the article for its methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, in part three, you will provide your references for the Article Critique Paper in APA format.
2). APA Formatting Purpose
The second purpose of the Article Critique paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as the APA style powerpoint on Canvas. We are using the 7th edition of the APA style manual.
3). Writing Purpose
Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar.
Article Critique Paper (60 points possible)
Each student is required to write an article critique paper based on one of the research articles present on Canvas only those articles listed on Canvas can be critiqued – if you critique a different article, it will not be graded). If you are unclear about any of this information, please ask.

LECTURE 2
Introduction
Learning to communicate appropriately and effectively in a variety of settings and in a variety of formats is an important skill in both academic and professional environments. In an online learning environment, learning to communicate effectively through writing is particularly important because it is, by far, how the majority of communication occurs. Review the learning objectives for this module within the course syllabus and use the following lecture, which is about various forms of written communication used in the online graduate setting, to accomplish them.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. Paraphrasing will help you grasp the full meaning of the source material and allow you to appropriately reference the source material to support your own ideas and academic writing. Paraphrased material is usually shorter and more concise than the original information. The following are some common guidelines taken from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2012), which may assist you with learning to paraphrase information gathered from reading materials for use in completing your coursework.
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
Set the original passage aside and, on a note card, write what you think the passage means in your own words (paraphrase).
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later of how you plan to use the information. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
Compare your paraphrase with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phrase you copied exactly from the original source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can cite it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into a paper or discussion question response.
The following is an example of paraphrasing (Purdue OWL, 2012), which i.

Writing Assignment Illustration Essay You are required to s.docx
Writing Assignment: Illustration Essay
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes.
In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

Corruption Survey of Enterprises 2009
The document summarizes the results of corruption surveys conducted in Armenia in 2009 among households and enterprises. Some key findings include:
- 400 enterprise leaders were surveyed with a margin of error of ±4.9%
- 28.8% of surveyed businesses reported having a female in a top management position
- Corruption was seen as a serious problem in Armenia by both households and enterprises
- Unofficial payments to public officials were often required for various business operations
- The judicial system and tax administration were seen as the most corrupt institutions
- Respondents believed corruption could be reduced but saw few effective anti-corruption measures by the government
CRRC Armenia
CRRC is a network of research and training centers in the Caucasus region. It aims to strengthen social science research and public policy analysis. It provides resources like an IT lab, library, and access to databases to researchers. CRRC also conducts surveys on topics through its Data Initiative and provides fellows with funding to conduct original policy research. It offers training workshops, conferences and blogs to disseminate social science research.
eResources for Research
This document provides a summary of various eResources that can be used for research, including scholarly databases, survey reports and datasets, and useful links. It describes several databases like JSTOR, Project Muse, World Development Indicators, and EbscoHost that provide access to academic journals, publications, and statistics. It also lists survey datasets from the CRRC Data Initiative and other organizations on topics like corruption, labor migration, and demography in Armenia. Finally, it provides links to resources on research methodology.
Humanitarian Intervention
The document discusses various topics related to humanitarian intervention and sovereignty including:
1. The responsibility to protect principle holds that states have a primary responsibility to protect civilians, and the international community has a secondary responsibility to assist or intervene if the state is unwilling or unable to protect its population from mass atrocities.
2. There is debate around when and how humanitarian intervention should take place, with questions around the role of the UN Security Council and criteria for determining just cause.
3. While humanitarian intervention has become more accepted, it remains a highly political issue and requires balancing concerns of sovereignty and preventing mass atrocities or genocide. Global consensus and prevention should be the ultimate goals.
Household Corruption Survey 2009
The document summarizes key findings from corruption surveys conducted in Armenia in 2008 and 2009. It finds that corruption is still perceived as a major problem, though some indicators show slight improvements over the previous year. Respondents believe corruption exists across many levels of government and sectors of society. However, most people are still reluctant to report corrupt acts due to lack of faith in the system and fear of retaliation. The government is not seen as very effective in its anti-corruption efforts.
State of Armenian Irregular Migrants in Turkey
The document summarizes the findings of a research study on the state of Armenian migrants in Turkey. It finds that 94% of Armenian workers in Turkey are women who work in jobs like house cleaning and childcare. While Armenian migrants initially had fears about Turkey before arriving, their attitudes change positively after experiencing the cultural similarities between Turkish and Armenian people. However, Armenian children born in Turkey cannot access education and face an uncertain future due to a lack of citizenship rights.
IMF Regional Economic Outlook for the Caucasus and Central Asia
The document summarizes the International Monetary Fund's November 2009 regional economic outlook report for the Caucasus and Central Asia region. It finds that while the global economy is beginning to recover from the crisis, recovery in the CCA region will be modest, with growth expected to pick up in 2010 following a downturn in 2009. The crisis hit the region's energy importing countries hard through sharp drops in remittances and exports. Macroeconomic policies across the region were made more accommodative to counter the crisis impacts. Financial sectors remain stressed with rising non-performing loans. Poverty levels may rise in energy importers due to factors like lower incomes and employment. Sustained fiscal stimulus and financial sector stabilization will be important for recovery
Rewire Your Brain
- The document discusses how the brain can be rewired through neuroplasticity and how experiences shape neural connections. Repeated activation of neural pathways strengthens those connections while inactive pathways weaken over time.
- It also describes the different roles of the left and right hemispheres, with the right hemisphere specialized for holistic, emotional processing and the left for language and analytical thinking. Chronic stress can impact brain structures like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
The Sources and Uses of Survey Data on Armenia
1. The document discusses several data sources on Armenia including the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), Life in Transition Survey (LiTS), population census, and household surveys.
2. BEEPS examines the business environment in Armenia by surveying firms. LiTS provides individual-level data by surveying households to assess how transition has affected lives.
3. Examples are given of how the data from these sources has been used such as analyzing how tax evasion varies with bribery using BEEPS data, and studying income mobility and the impact of remittances on education spending using LiTS data.
Institutional Sources of Corruption in the Case of Armenia
This document analyzes the relationship between perceptions of corruption in Armenia and three institutional sources: formal rules, informal rules, and enforcement mechanisms. Statistical models show perceptions of enforcement mechanisms and informal rules significantly correlate with perceived corruption, but not formal rules. Higher education levels also correlate with higher perceived corruption. The document recommends reforms like transparency laws and judicial reforms to strengthen enforcement mechanisms to reduce corruption by impacting informal norms.
ILCS Raking
Raking is a method used to adjust survey totals to match independent control totals. It takes existing survey weights and ratios them up to each total control in turn until results are close to the desired outcomes. Raking can increase stability and reduce bias and variance in survey results by making them consistent with reasonable control totals. The raking process converges to hit all control totals while improving information quality without changing the underlying survey data. Raking is done quickly on computers and costs are incurred to explain the method.
Data Quality: Issues and Fixes
This document discusses data quality issues and methods for addressing them. It defines two perspectives on quality - conformance to requirements and fitness for use. There are four costs of poor quality: reputation, prevention, detection, and repair. Methods for addressing quality issues include data editing, imputation, and fabrication. Data editing involves techniques like range tests, deterministic tests, and probabilistic tests to identify potential errors. Imputation is used to handle missing or misreported data, but care must be taken not to over-impute. Fabrication poses a threat as intentionally entering false data undermines quality. Overall the document emphasizes improving quality through understanding sources of error rather than over-editing data.
School-to-Work Transitions after Two Decades of Post-Communist Transition
The document summarizes research on the labor market transitions of people aged 31-37 in 2007 in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It finds that full employment remained elusive for many, with over half unable to find stable, well-paying jobs. Public sector employment was still an important source of higher-quality jobs, especially for women and university graduates. Salaries remained quite low overall, forcing many young people to continue living with their families. While some economic growth had occurred, its benefits were concentrated among the already advantaged, leaving the status quo largely unchanged.
School-to-Work Transitions after Two Decades of Post-Communist Transition
This document summarizes research from surveys conducted in 2007 on young people aged 31-37 in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It finds that while proportions in different career paths may have changed over time and between countries/regions, the core career paths themselves have remained remarkably consistent. The main career paths identified are: 1) Fully employed with a "western lifestyle" salary, 2) Regular private/public employment, 3) Business ownership, 4) Under-employment, and 5) Unemployment. The paper argues these career structures formed in the early transition period continue to shape opportunities.
Ethics and CSR
1. Business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be competitive strategies that create shared value for businesses and society.
2. CSR involves economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities of businesses to various stakeholders.
3. Strategic CSR moves beyond good citizenship by integrating social and ethical considerations into core operations and strategy, which can lower costs and better serve customer needs.
4. Studies show that companies with strong CSR programs outperform those without, as ethical behavior builds trust and strengthens brands.
In Search of a Dramatic Equilibrium: Was the Armenian Dram Overvalued?
This document uses three approaches - purchasing power parity, behavioral equilibrium exchange rate, and external sustainability - to estimate the equilibrium exchange rate for Armenia's currency, the dram. All three approaches suggest the dram was overvalued by 20-30% prior to its devaluation in March 2009. Specifically, the purchasing power parity approach estimates the equilibrium exchange rate based on relative price levels and productivity differentials between Armenia and its trade partners. It finds the dram was closest to equilibrium in the mid-2000s but overvalued by around 30% in 2008.
In Search of a Dramatic Equilibrium: Was the Armenia n Dram Overvalued?
The document discusses different approaches to estimating Armenia's equilibrium real exchange rate and whether the Armenian dram was overvalued prior to its devaluation in March 2009. Three main approaches are used: the purchasing power parity approach, the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate approach, and the external sustainability approach. All three approaches suggest that the dram was overvalued by 20-30% before the devaluation, and that the devaluation has brought the exchange rate back into equilibrium. Key reforms are still needed to boost competitiveness through productivity gains and improving the business environment.
