First Nations Bank of Canada: Interview with Mr. Keith Martell Chair Of The Board of Directors

On December 9, 1996, the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) and TD Bank officially launched the First Nations Bank of Canada. The First Nations Bank of Canada is a schedule II chartered bank that serves Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal customers throughout Canada. It is the first such bank of its kind in North America, conceived, packaged and developed by Aboriginal People for Aboriginal People. Former Chief Blaine Favel, FSIN stated at the grand opening “the bank is one of many important steps towards Aboriginal people's economic self sufficiency and political self determination ... the Indian economy alone in Canada represents billions of dollars and we are aggressively seeking customers for the First Nations Bank.” Mr. Keith Martell is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the First Nations Bank of Canada. A member of the Waterhen Lake First Nation, Keith completed his Commerce degree at the University of Saskatchewan, obtained his CA designation and worked with the chartered accounting firm KPMG for 10 years before joining FSIN in 1995.

Large scale retail stores (LSRS) increased fast during the high economic growth period in Japan. From 1970's they started to locate even in small local towns and affected small scale retail stores in adjacent rural areas. By the 1980's their impact was very significant. This study examined this phenomena in Tottori Prefecture in 1979 and 1991. The objective is to examine changes in spatial structure of retail by analysing retail sales and sales floor area (SFA) in relation to location characteristics at local goverments level.First, Correlation Analysis (CA) was used to analyze the relationship between characteristics of cities and towns and sales of 3 types of commodities, i. e. food, cloths, and others. It was observed that the degree of urbanization and degree of commerce has strong correlation with sales, but the correlation was stronger in 1991 than in 1979. There is no big differences among the commodities examined. Parameters obtained with the CA were then used as variables in Principal Component Analysis (PCI.) . Three principal component (PC) were obtained, representing 97% of the original information. PC 1 is the correlation between degree of urbanization and sales. PC 2 is the correlation between degree of commerce and sales, and PC 3 is the correlation between degree of centrality of cities and towns, and sales. For PC 1, at both periods, food experienced decrease in sales, while the sales of other commodities increased. This means, sales of commodities other than food concentrated in the urban area, while food sales are distributed in wider area. For PC 2 all commodities' sales increased. All commodities' sales decreased in PC 3. It means sales are strongly correlated with degree of commerce and level of centrality of cities and towns. For the cities and towns which had high degree of urbanization, high degree of commerce and high level of centrality showed increasing trend in retail business and the reverse of the above is true. In the objective region cities and towns can be grouped into those with increasing and that with decreasing retail businesses.An equation to predict the size of the small scale retail store was formulated as follows: M3j = λPj - μΣiM1i/dbij - vΣiM2i/dbijwhere λ, μ, v, b are parameters. Pj is population of city or town j. dij road distance from city or town i to city or town j. M1i is SFA of LSRS type 1 in city or town i. M2i, is SFA of LSRS type 2 in city or town i. M3j is SFA of small scale retail store in city or town j. Along the classical Huff model, the b parameter was fixed as 2. Regression was used to calibratie the equation. R2 obtained with 1979 and 1991 data of O. 993 and O. 989, indicates relialiability of the model. Thus the scale of small retail store in a city or town is mostly proportional to the population of the city or town in which it is located, the floor areas of LSRS and the distances to the other cities or towns.

William Harold Hutt: A Personal Memoir

South African Journal of EconomicsVolume 58, Issue 3 p. 167-172 William Harold Hutt: A Personal Memoir O.P.F. HORWOOD, O.P.F. HORWOOD Professor Owen Horwood studied under Professor Hutt at the University of Cape Town for the Bachelor of Commerce degree, graduating as such in 1938. After holding senior positions in industry he was appointed Senior lecturer - later associate professor - in Hutt's Department of Commerce (Applied Economics) at UCT at the end of 1947, taking the place of his friend and fellow student, Basil Yamey, who had accepted a lecturing post at the London School of Economics. Horwood was closely associated with Hutt as a colleague at UCT for more than eight years. Thereafter he served as professor and head of the Department of Economics, first in the newly established University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and then in the University of Natal, of which he subsequently became Principal and Vice Chancellor. He was Visiting Professor of Economics at Duke University in 1961/62. Horwood was appointed to the South African Cabinet in 1972, becoming Minister of Finance at the beginning of 1975, a position he held for nearly ten years. After retiring from politics, he served as chairman of the Nedbank Group (now Nedcor) for five years.

ECONOMICS DEGREES AND THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC SERVICE: A NOTE*

At present the Australian Public Service employs about 14,000 university graduates, one quarter of whom have majored in economics, usually in an economics, commerce, arts (economics) or science (economics) degree. As can be seen from Table 1, this proportion of economics degrees to total degrees has remained fairly constant over the last decade. It is a reflection of the great emphasis placed on the recruitment of graduates in economics to the APS since the war, and especially since 1960.
