Tourism and financial development in small states : Evidence from Caribbean countries

Colin Cannonier; Monica Galloway Burke

Tourism expenditure in Caribbean countries represents the single largest inflow of foreign exchange and is associated with a significant amount of international capital flows. Yet, the relationship between tourism and financial development (FD) has received scant attention in the academic literature. This article focuses on whether tourism promotes FD in Caribbean economies. We do so by using newly constructed data on tourism flows to the region during the period 1980–2013. We find that tourist expenditure, on average, has a positive and significant impact on various measures of FD. At our most conservative estimates, we find that by increasing tourism expenditures per capita by about

1200 (USD), depth in the financial system improves by about 10–15%, while efficiency increases by about 34%. Our results are robust to instrumental variables, system generalized method of moments, and limited information maximum likelihood estimation techniques as well as to a variety of measures of FD. Such findings may have important policy implications related to facilitating growth and development through an increase in efficiency in the system of FD.

Stress and Violence in the Workplace and on Campus: A Growing Problem for Business, Industry and Academia.

Matthew L. Hunt; Aaron W. Hughey; Monica Galloway Burke

As we continue into the new millennium, it is imperative that educational institutions equip graduates with the knowledge and skills that are increasingly needed and valued by business and industry. In this article, the authors argue that the case study approach and, specifically, case study competitions constitute an ideal pedagogical strategy for achieving this objective in an effective and efficient manner, with resulting benefits for both students and employers.

External confirmation of adherence to standards: as applicable to academic programmes as to business and industry

Aaron W. Hughey; Monica Galloway Burke

Levels of stress and violence at work have been increasing globally for the past few decades. Whether the setting is business and industry or a college campus, this disturbing trend affects a growing number of people, including those who do not work directly in these environments. In this paper the authors describe the relationship between stress and violence and offer recommendations as to how managers and administrators can reduce employee and student stress levels and help to prevent hostile behaviour from occurring in private companies, public agencies and institutions of higher education. Proactive strategies for preventing violent incidents are included together with suggestions on how to deal effectively with such incidents when they do arise.

The economic growth impact of tourism in Small Island Developing States—evidence from the Caribbean

Colin Cannonier; Monica Galloway Burke

The development of, and adherence to, performance standards is imperative for success in todays competitive global market. This is as true for academic programmes in higher education as it is for the manufacturing and service sectors. Just like their counterparts in business and industry, it is important that graduate career preparation programmes are subject to an external validation process that can substantiate whether or not they are indeed following applicable standards. In this paper the authors discuss the current status of accreditation for graduate programmes designed to prepare tomorrows leaders in the student services profession and argue for the development of a new certification system based on the standards established by the US Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS).

Examining Perceptions of Networking among African American Women in Student Affairs.

Monica Galloway Burke; Joelle Davis Carter

Tourism’s contribution to economic output in the Caribbean exceeds that in other regions of the world. We use panel data over the period of three decades, focusing exclusively on Caribbean islands, to study the causal link between tourism and economic growth. The results show that tourism has a positive and statistically significant effect on real Gross Domestic Product growth. A 10% increase in tourism spending is found to increase economic growth from 0.3% to 1%, a finding that is consistent with similar studies. A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that the overall tourism multiplier is around 0.25 which is smaller than estimates from previous studies. These results have important implications for researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers.

Media Review: Promoting Diversity and Social Justice: Educating People from Privileged Groups

Monica Galloway Burke

Since career networks offer access to upper level positions, being a part of one can offer opportunities and access to information, knowledge and referrals for career mobility. However, the duality of race and gender can create a distinctive challenge to gaining access to career networks, which are crucial components to rise to the upper level of leadership positions. The purpose of this article is to explore the perceptions of African American women in the field of student affairs regarding perceptions of career networking and mentoring on their career advancement and professional growth. Specific emphasis was also placed on their viewpoints describing how the formation of their career network facilitates access to resources, information, and career advancement. Implications and recommendations are provided for the development of programs and initiatives to advance African American women in student affairs.

Media Review: Making Good on the Promise: Student Affairs Professionals with Disabilities

Monica Galloway Burke

Promoting diversity and social justice education is a complex and often challenging undertaking. Issues related to oppression, privilege, and dominance are sensitive to many individuals, which can give rise to a range of emotions and reactions. As someone who facilitates and engages others in these types of discussions, I intimately understand the challenges inherent to the educational process. If diversity and social justice efforts are to be promoted, those charged with educating people about social justice and diversity should be, as Dianne Goodman explained, “not only wellversed in content areas; but are also knowledgeable and skilled in issues and pedagogy, theories, and frameworks” (2011, pp. 2–3).

Media Review: Brothers and Sisters: Diversity in College Fraternities and Sororities

Monica Galloway Burke

Throughout history, individuals with disabilities have been associated with institutionalization, segregation, charity, exclusion, apprehension, and discrimination. As a result, persons with disabilities have become a marginalized group that often faces physical, attitudinal, sociopolitical, and sociocultural barriers. Accordingly, these obstacles can make it difficult for employees and students with disabilities to integrate successfully into the collegiate environment. Making Good on the Promise, written for student development faculty, student affairs practitioners, and practitioners-to-be, is designed to inform and encourage new ways of thinking about individuals with disabilities in higher education.

Areas of Marital Dissatisfaction Among Long-Term Couples

Jill D. Duba; Aaron W. Hughey; Tracy Lara; Monica Galloway Burke

Since Phi Beta Kappa, the first Greek fraternity in the U.S., was established in 1776, fraternal organizations have been instrumental in enhancing student development outside of the classroom. They play an integral role by providing college students with the opportunity to express themselves socially and intellectually. Accordingly, cultural-interest fraternities and sororities on college campuses based on ethnicity, race, sexual preference, and religion expand this role by serving as conduits for students with a variety of worldviews and experiences.
