Ministério das Relações ExterioresItem Dubai, debt, and dependency : the political and economic implications of the bailout of Dubai(2011-05) Frasca, Alexandra Marguerite; Henry, Clement M., 1937-; Leeds, SandyThe goal of this thesis is to identify the main political and economic implications of Dubai’s debt crisis and subsequent bailout by her wealthier and more powerful sister emirate Abu Dhabi. This paper examines the implications of the bailout of Dubai on two levels: Dubai’s relationship with Abu Dhabi and Dubai’s relationship with the international investment community. The paper first provides a brief background on Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and discusses Dubai’s key characteristics that helped give Dubai her nickname Dubai Inc. – an opportune location, the Al-Maktoum ruling family, and state-led entrepreneurship. It then discusses Dubai’s historically competitive relationship with Abu Dhabi and Dubai’s push to diversify economically away from oil. The paper outlines two key economic developments – the rise of Dubai’s real estate and tourism sectors and the creation of Dubai’s government-related enterprises (GREs), which helped finance the real estate bubble. This thesis suggests that Abu Dhabi now holds unquestionable power over Dubai and can control Dubai’s GREs and their subsidiaries such as Dubai World. This paper also argues that the international investment community will demand increased transparency and higher standards of corporate governance of Dubai’s businesses in light of the entrenched poor practices that the bailout exposed within the tiny-city state's GREs and companies.Item The economic history of Texas, 1900-1930, with some attention to social aspects(1934) Steen, Ralph Wright; Not availableItem An economic interpretation of the ratification of the Federal Constitution in North Carolina(1948) Pool, William C.; Barker, Eugene C.

Data were gathered on the dependent variable (truckload freight) and on thirty independent variables (economic indicators of the Southwestern Region) for the base period 1957 to 1971. Missing values from the time series data were estimated by curve fitting techniques to the known data points. Multiple regression analyses were used to measure the linear relationship between the dependent variable and a set of independent variables, taking into consideration the interrelationships among the independent variables. From these analyses, predictor regression equations were formulated using either uniform or mixed inclusion levels for all independent variables. Three equations were chosen for further analysis. The independent variables in the selected equations were forecast by extrapolation from the curve which best fit the known data points of each variable. Comparison of the three predictor regression equations, a Department of Transportation projection, and the closest fitting extrapolation of the truckload freight data, along with all the statistical evidence available, led to the selection of a "best" forecast,which is a set of four economic indicators.Item An interpretative analysis of the economic and educational status of Latin-Americans in Texas, with emphasis upon the basic factors underlying an approach to an improved program of occupational guidance, training, and adjustment for secondary schools(1942) Broom, Perry Morris, 1908-; Sánchez, George Isidore, 1906-1972Item La página de Maíz(0000-00-00) Asociación Equipo MaízItem The workers of San Antonio, Texas, 1900-1940(1952) Shapiro, Harold Arthur, 1916-; Allen, Ruth Alice, 1889-1979
