State Level Public Enterprises in India: Restructuring for Performance Improvement

This study examines a time period when economic policy at municipal and state level systematically made use of public enterprises. It not only sheds light on the political positions of parties and associations with regard to regulation and the discussions about privatisation, but also analyses the instrumentalisation of municipal and state-owned enterprises in terms of business cycle policy and structural policy. In doing so, it discusses the respective theoretical and political arguments as well as the use of the enterprises ‘in practice’. The various privatisation campaigns conducted pursed regulatory, fiscal and property-related goals. As far as business cycle policy was concerned, emphasis was placed on pricing, investment and financial policies. In terms of structural policy, regional and sectoral policy goals were pursued. Lastly, the study analyses the political influence and political control of public enterprises.

Facial Expressions Of Emotion

Abstract. Past research suggests that transient mood influences the perception of facial expressions of emotion, but relatively little is known about how trait-level emotionality (i.e., temperament) may influence emotion perception or interact with mood in this process. Consequently, we extended earlier work by examining how temperamental dimensions of negative emotionality and extraversion were associated with the perception accuracy and perceived intensity of three basic emotions and how the trait-level temperamental effect interacted with state-level self-reported mood in a sample of 88 adults (27 men, 18–51 years of age). The results indicated that higher levels of negative mood were associated with higher perception accuracy of angry and sad facial expressions, and higher levels of perceived intensity of anger. For perceived intensity of sadness, negative mood was associated with lower levels of perceived intensity, whereas negative emotionality was associated with higher levels of perceived intensity of sadness. Overall, our findings added to the limited literature on adult temperament and emotion perception.
