Using the case of the new stadiums for the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany, this paper is the first multivariate work that examines the potential income and employment effects of new stadiums outside of the USA. This study is also the first work on this topic that conducts tests on the basis of a (serial correlation consistent) Difference-in-Difference model with level and trends. As a robustness check, we use the "ignoring time series information" model in a form that is modified for non-synchronous interventions. We were not able to identify income or employment effects of the construction of new stadiums for the FIFA World Cup 2006, which are significantly different from zero.

Indeed, what [Janet Afary] terms a "romantic bisexuality" was celebrated and even highly codified. For more than a millennium, Afary writes, "male homoerotic relations in Iran were bound by rules of courtship such as the bestowal of presents, the teaching of literary texts, bodybuilding and military training, mentorship, and the development of social contacts that would help the junior partner's career.
With an editorial board that embraced Russian social democratic concepts, including women's rights, MN was also "the first paper in the Shi[ite] Muslim world to endorse normative heterosexuality." Afary writes that "this illustrated satirical paper, which circulated among Iranian intellectuals and ordinary people alike, was enormously popular in the region because of its graphic cartoon...

The market for accounting PhDs has been pretty good for a while, except for the last year with hiring freezes like other industries. But the pressure is still there to publish and, at "research institutions," to publish both quality and quantity. The point of this article is to talk about publishing, not perishing, and how the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) has supported faculty members, specifically the author, in their careers. The very first paper the author wrote as an assistant professor, "Does ERP Fit in a Lean World?" was published in an IMA journal. She has been a member of IMA for about 10 years, and she thinks she can speak for many other faculty members when she says that they sincerely appreciate the support the association has given to them.

Partly on this basis, it is often assumed that Spinoza understood a life of virtue as one of pure activity, with as few passions as possible.4 This paper aims to show that Spinoza reserves an important role for the passions in a life of virtue.5 seen in a certain light, this claim might appear trivial: the passions, like sensations, are knowledge of the first kind, which provides us with the particular knowledge about external things necessary for comporting ourselves in the world. Since Spinoza's notion of true virtue involves a disposition to act consistently in accordance with reason, it follows that the passions play an integral and positive role in the virtuous life.48 This point helps us to see how Spinoza's moral philosophy breaks starkly with the Stoics.
