This paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017. Nigeria and Norway have been chosen as reference countries due to their abundance of natural resources by similar economic performance, while the ranking in the Human Development Index differs dramatically. As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country’s cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. The hypothesis presented and discussed in this paper was researched before. A qualitative research approach was used in the author’s master’s thesis “The Human Development Index (HDI) as a Reflection of Resource Abundance (using Nigeria and Norway as a case study)” in 2018. The management of scarce resources is an important aspect in the development of modern countries and those on the threshold of becoming industrialised nations. The effects of a mistaken resource management are not only of a purely economic nature but also of a social and socio-economic nature. In order to present a partial aspect of these dependencies and influences this paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017. Nigeria and Norway have been chosen as reference countries due to their abundance of natural resources by similar economic performance, while the ranking in the Human Development Index differs significantly. As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country’s cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. This paper found out in a holistic perspective that (not or poorly managed) resource wealth in itself has a negative impact on socio-economic development and significantly reduces the productivity of the citizens of a state. This is expressed in particular for the years 2002 till 2017 in a negative correlation of GDP per capita and HDI value with the share respectively the size of resources in the GDP of a country.
Mit der Verabschiedung der Europäischen Güterrechtsverordnung für Ehegatten und eingetragene Partner hat der Unionsgesetzgeber die Vereinheitlichung des Kollisionsrechts in Europa weiter vorangetrieben. Zentraler Baustein beider Rechtsakte ist die Parteiautonomie, die mit Blick auf Eheleute an bewährte Traditionen anknüpft, für Lebenspartner aber eine echte Neuerung bringt.
By developing innovative solutions to social and environmental problems, sustainable ventures carry greatpotential. Entrepreneurship which focuses especially on new venture creation can be developed through education anduniversities, in particular, are called upon to provide an impetus for social change. But social innovations are associatedwith certain hurdles, which are related to the multi-dimensionality, i.e. the tension between creating social,environmental and economic value and dealing with a multiplicity of stakeholders. The already complex field ofentrepreneurship education has to face these challenges. This paper, therefore, aims to identify starting points for theintegration of sustainability into entrepreneurship education. To pursue this goal experiences from three differentproject initiatives between the partner universities: Lapland University of Applied Sciences, FH Aachen University ofApplied Sciences and Turiba University are reflected and findings are systematically condensed into recommendationsfor education on sustainable entrepreneurship.
The construction of a statistical test is investigated which is based only on “reliability” and “precision” as quality criteria. The reliability of a statistical test is quantifiedin a straightforward way by the probability that the decision of the test is correct. However, the quantification of the precision of a statistical test is not at all evident. Thereforethe paper presents and discusses several approaches. Moreover the distinction of “nullhypothesis” and “alternative hypothesis” is not necessary any longer.
Sonderbilanz und Status
(2003)
In den letzten Jahren haben in Deutschland mehrere Bundesländer Studiengebühren eingeführt. Seitdem wird in der Politik heftig über das Für und Wider diskutiert. Von den Gegnern wird häufig das Argument vorgebracht, Studiengebühren seien sozial ungerecht und würden insbesondere einkommensschwache Bevölkerungsschichten von einem Studium abhalten. Bestätigt werden sie von den Zahlen aus Umfragen, denen zufolge über 70 Prozent derjenigen, die sich gegen ein Studium entscheiden, finanzielle Gründe für einen Studienverzicht anführen. Befürworter halten dem entgegen, Studiengebühren seien angesichts knapper öffentlicher Kassen unbedingt notwendig, da nur so die Qualität der Lehre aufrechterhalten bzw. verbessert werden könne. Zudem würden Studiengebühren die sozialen Bildungsbarrieren keineswegs erhöhen, was auch daran erkennbar sei, dass infolge der Studiengebühren die Zahl der Studierenden nicht zurückgegangen ist. Der vorliegende Artikel leistet einen Beitrag zu dieser Debatte, indem er die an einer Hochschule in Nordrhein-Westfalen gesammelten Erfahrungen mit Studiengebühren auswertet
