Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visions of life in the 1950s often spring from the United States: supermarkets, freeways, huge gleaming cars, bright new appliances, automated households. Historian Joy Parr looks beyond the generalizations about the indulgence of this era to find a specifically Canadian consumer culture. Focusing on the records left by consumer groups and manufacturers, and relying on interviews and letters from many Canadian women who had set up household in the decade after the war, she reveals exactly how and why Canadian homemakers distinguished themselves from the consumer frenzy of their southern neighbours. Domestic Goods focuses primarily on the design, production, promotion, and consumption of furniture and appliances. For Parr, such a focus demands an analysis of the intertwining of the political, economic, and aesthetic. Parr examines how the shortage of appliances in the early postwar years was a direct result of government reconstruction policy, and how the international style of 'high modernism' reflected the postwar dream of free trade. But while manufacturers devised new plans for the consumer, depression-era frugality and a conscious setting of priorities within the family led potential customers to evade and rework what was offered them, eventually influencing the kinds of goods created. This book addresses questions such as, who designed furniture and appliances, and how were these designs arrived at? What was the role of consumer groups in influencing manufacturers and government policy? Why did women prefer their old wringer washers for over a decade after the automatic washer was brought in? In finding the answers the author celebrates and ultimately suggests reclaiming a particularly Canadian way of consuming.

Book excerpt: The term "Gross Domestic Product" refers to the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced (and sold on the market) within a country over a given time period (typically 1 year). The gross domestic product (GDP) is the most widely used indicator of economic activity. At the end of the 18th century, the first basic concept of GDP was developed. The modern concept was developed by American economist Simon Kuznets in 1934 and adopted as the primary indicator of a country's economy at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference. What does the term "Gross" mean? The term "gross" (as in "Gross Domestic Product") denotes that goods are counted regardless of how they are used. A product can be consumed, invested in, or used to replace an asset. In every case, the final "sales receipt" for the product will be added to the total GDP figure. "Net," on the other hand, does not take into account products used to replace an asset (in order to offset depreciation). The term "net" only refers to products that are intended for consumption or investment. What does"Domestic" stand for? (GDP vs. GNP and GNI) Household (GDP) The term "domestic" (as in "Gross Domestic Product") denotes a geographical inclusion criterion: goods and services counted are those produced within the country's borders, regardless of the producer's nationality. The output of a German-owned factory in the United States, for example, will be counted as part of the country's GDP. Gross National Product (GNP) "National" (in "Gross National Product"), on the other hand, indicates that the inclusion criterion is based on citizenship (nationality): goods and services are counted when produced by a country's national, regardless of where the production takes place physically. In this case, the output of a German-owned factory in the United States will be counted both as part of Germany's GNP and as part of the United States' GDP. GNI Because both are based on nationality rather than geography, GNI (Gross National Income) is a metric similar to GNP. The difference is that GNI uses the income approach to calculate total value, whereas GNP uses the production approach to calculate GDP. Theoretically, GNP and GNI should produce the same result. What does the term "Product" mean? The term "product" (as in "Gross Domestic Product") refers to the final goods and services that are sold on the market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains peer-reviewed papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting (EEDAL'19), held in Jinan, China from 6-8 November 2019. Energy efficiency helps to mitigate CO2 emissions and at the same time increases the security of energy supply. Energy efficiency is recognized as the cleanest, quickest and cheapest energy source. Not only this, but energy efficiency brings several additional benefits for society and end-users, such as lower energy costs, reduced local pollution, better outdoor and indoor air quality, etc. However, in some sectors, such as the residential sector, barriers to investments in energy efficiency remain. Legislation adopted in several jurisdictions (EU, Japan, USA, China, India, Australia, Brazil, etc.) helps in removing barriers and fosters investments in energy efficiency. These initiatives complement innovative financing schemes for energy efficiency, the provision of energy services by energy service companies and different types of information programs. At the same time, progress in appliance technologies and in solid state lighting offer high levels of efficiency. LED lighting is an example. As with previous conferences in this series, EEDAL’19 provided a unique forum to discuss and debate the latest developments in energy and environmental impact of households, including appliances, lighting, heating and cooling equipment, electronics, smart meters, consumer behavior, and policies and programs. EEDAL addressed non-technical issues such as consumer behavior, energy access in developing countries, and demand response.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume is intended to encourage appreciation of the cardinal significance for integrating macroeconomic policy variables and environmental factors and any other relevant externalities into sectoral policy analysis as a tool for improving choice of strategic factors in agricultural development, investment of allocative efficiency in agriculture and environmental protection and overall agricultural development management. The main concern of Matthew Okai is for choosing realistic policy instruments to promote development, quantifying constraints and evaluating the impacts of policy on objectives.
