TL;DR: In this article, the importance of relative prices, institutional quality and other factors which are regressed on the estimated total factor productivity (TFP) was examined, and the results showed that relative prices have significant effects on TFP.
Abstract: The paper examines the importance of relative prices, institutional quality and other factors which are regressed on the estimated total factor productivity (TFP). With panel data of 26 African countries for the period 1980-2011, the results show that relative prices have significant effects on TFP. Also the quality of institutions is an important determinant of non-input component of output growth. The macroeconomic measures to get “prices right” in sub Saharan Africa may also be constrained by the linkages of institutions to the macroeconomic variables. Thus, policies of getting prices right with establishing strong institutions are worth continuously pursuing with vigor.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of corporate identity as the sum of all things that tell stakeholder groups what a company thinks of itself and how it aims to be perceived by others.

It is the practice of fashioning an image that clearly represents where the business strives to position itself in the market place, an image that is consistent with, and supportive of its brands, products, and services.Practical implications – Reference is drawn from post‐communist Kazakhstan serving to highlight how corporate image can be misjudged in smaller communities and the negative effects this can have on business.Originality/value – The article provides sound practical advice on the need for organizations to develop a corporate image and how to achieve this.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply a two-tiered contribution model to ascertain the determinants of donors' participation and contribution levels to giving aid for controlling HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Abstract: This article applies a two-tiered contribution model to ascertain the determinants of donors’ participation and contribution levels to giving aid for controlling HIV/AIDS in Africa Bayesian spatial estimates for the two-tiered model are presented for 22 donor countries that gave aid to 48 recipient countries during 2000–2007 We account for the public nature of HIV/AIDS contributions by including the contributions of other donors as a determinant at both participation and expenditure stages, along with standard determinants of general assistance Independent variables account for altruistic, political, economic, location, institutional, and environmental factors Donor’s reaction to spillovers differs in the two stages, thereby supporting the two-tiered estimates over the single-stage Tobit estimates Aid for AIDS in Africa is motivated by a complex mix of strategic (publicness), altruistic, and donor self-interests Key factors at both stages include donors’ spillovers, rule of law, past colonial ties, sharing a common language, trade, and people living with HIV A host of robustness tests are presented

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the famous novel Koshpendiler (1976) by Ilyas Esenberlin and argue that this historical novel can be considered as an example of post-colonial discourse.
Abstract: This article focuses on the famous novel Koshpendiler (1976) by Ilyas Esenberlin. This literary work occupies a special place in Soviet Kazakh literature because it raises important problems such as the foundation of the state and nation, the sense of territoriality, and the struggle against Russian colonizers. The authors argue that this historical novel can be considered as an example of post-colonial discourse. The novel itself is an extrapolation of the 1970s' Soviet reality when national Union republics, including Kazakhstan, were seeking greater independence. Kazakh cultural elites and the intelligentsia turned to the past history of nation-building to address the problems of the present day. Not having an opportunity to openly express their views, the Kazakh establishment preferred to express their national sentiments through the historical genre. In this work, the authors suggest their own vision of Soviet national literature from political science and historical perspectives.
