"... In PAGE 23: ... I then ask whether the probability that liberalization leads to an increase in growth, investment or inflation is significantly different in the good and bad policies/institutions subsamples. The results of this simple exercise are reported in Table13 . The rows of the table correspond to the same eight indicators of policy considered above.... ..."

"... In PAGE 35: ... Concerns over PVC include phthalates, metal stabilizers (lead, cadmium, organ- otins), toxicants used during manufacturing (vinyl chloride, ethylene dichloride), toxicants generated during manufacture and disposal (dioxins, furans), performance, and its poor recyclability (less than 1 percent annually in the US).162 Table10 shows numerous examples from the auto industry, building and construction uses, cabling, packaging, toys, and medical products. Industry giants moving away from PVC include prominent global corporations based in Japan, the EU, and the US.... ..."

"... In PAGE 41: ... Since these changes confine mostly to the politically easier policy sphere rather than the politically risky and administratively difficult legal and administrative spheres (see Saleth and Dinar, 1999), the variable capturing water policy performance can become a dominant factor explaining the overall performance of water institution. Water Institution Performance: Relative Role of Institutional Aspects While the results for equation [4] reported in Table 4 shows the overall linkages between water institution and its constituent components, those for equation [5] reported in Table5 show the linkages between water institution and some of the major institutional aspects underlying the three water institution components. These two equations are, therefore, interrelated not only because they have the same dependent variable but also because their independent variables are structurally related through equations [1] to [3].... In PAGE 42: ... The recognition of this fact is necessary for a better interpretation of the results reported in Table 5. The results in Table5 show how some of the most important legal, policy, and administrative aspects affect the overall performance of water institution. The model behind the results fits the data well and also has a good explanatory power.... ..."

"... In PAGE 19: ... In doing so, we hoped to discover whether someone who had read this major and timely discussion of scholarly electronic publishing could have anticipated the powerful and surprising stance the scientific societies would later take against E-Biomed. During the period that we analyzed, approximately 350 messages on the American Scientist forum (see Table3 ). discussed several dozen topics, including the relative costs of paper and e-media, the value and limitations of peer review, citations to e-journals, economic models where the author pays, and so on.... ..."

"... In PAGE 7: ... However, using the taxonomy enables one to identify this goal as a protection goal (integrity/security). Some goals were not truly relevant to privacy or privacy-related functionality and were unclassified for purposes of this study (see Table1 ). For example, the Wachovia goal, G548: MAINTAIN efficient service, reflects a general declaration of commitment by the company that expresses neither a privacy protection goal nor vulnerability.... In PAGE 7: ...ypothesis was confirmed (p-value=0.0089) [AE03]. For our current analysis, we also hypothesized that the number of protection goals in a financial privacy policy would be greater than the number of vulnerabilities; this hypothesis was also confirmed. When comparing the number of protection goals to the number of vulnerabilities in each financial policy (see Table1 ), the t-test analysis revealed a statistically significant difference (p-value=0.02215) between them....

For example, in the case of corruption and the IMF measure of financial openness (the second-last row in Table10 ), the results suggest that a change in financial openness from fully closed (0) to fully open (1) in a relatively corrupt country with a corruption score of 2 will raise growth by 2.6 percent, while in a relatively clean country with a score of 5, it will lower growth by almost 2 percent.... ..."

"... In PAGE 16: ... This is a market control mechanism, operated by the Federation of Insurance Companies, that allocates third-party policies to insurance companies on a rotational basis. This method of allocating compulsory motor business favors small companies ( Table10 ). Even after including comprehensive policies, which are contracted freely, no insurance company has a market share that exceeds 7 percent of the total.... ..."
