The thesis aims to build upon the Solow growth model to find the reasons behind Singapore’s rapid economic growth and transformation from 1965 to 2021. The basic Solow Growth model factors capital and labor force as the inputs for economic growth. However, the assumptions of the Solow Growth Model are too narrow as there are other factors behind a country’s economic growth. Existing literature on Singapore’s economic growth has showcased the various factors behind Singapore’s economic growth. Human capital, technology, trade,
FDI(Foreign Direct Investment), governance and leadership, political stability, location, culture, and geopolitics have major roles in Singapore’s economic growth and the Singaporean economy. These determinants can be cataloged into qualitative factors and quantitative factors. Hence, the thesis will take two different approaches. First, it will provide an empirical framework, a regression model, to measure the effects of the determinants such as physical capital, labor, human capital, and FDI on real GDP growth, through the extension of the Solow Growth Model. Second, the thesis will provide a qualitative assessment of the determinants through a case study as Singapore’s statehood and economic development were historically unprecedented. The results indicate that physical capital, labor, trade openness, FDI, and HCI have a significant impact on Singapore’s GDP growth. Moreover, the case study showcased that financialization, manufacturing, governance & leadership, technology, politics, geographic location, history, and culture were all determinants of Singapore’s economic growth from 1965 to 2021.
Welcome to volume 26 of the Adirondack Journal of Environmental Studies. Following our tagline: “Seeking Common Ground among A Multitude of viewpoints,” this issue contains a broad spectrum of topics and ideas. We cover birds, floods and climate change, history and politics, public safety, and we continue to shine a light on Adirondack archives.

Abstract
This collection (formerly the historical collection of the General Electric Company's William Stanley Library in Pittsfield, Massachusetts) consists of the papers of William Stanley Jr. (1858-1916) and records of the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Company and its successor, General Electric Pittsfield Works. Files include research notes, laboratory notebooks, sketches, scrapbooks, publications, photographs, and correspondence.
William Stanley Jr. (1858-1916) was an inventor and engineer who held 129 patents. He is responsible for pioneering the development and use of alternating current for electric light and power. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended private schools before enrolling at Yale University. He began to study law at age 21 but left school to look for a job in the emerging field of electricity. While in New York, he was employed in various roles before accepting a post with Edison rival, Hiram Maxim. In 1884, he went into a business venture with George Westinghouse of the Westinghouse Electrical Company in Pittsburgh which would prove tumultuous. Suffering from tuberculosis, he moved back to Great Barrington, Massachusetts for his health. Here he rented out a rubber factory to continue electrical experiments, of which, he considered outside of his scope of work for Westinghouse. In 1885, he developed the first practical transformer which spurred the development of AC power. The transformer design became the prototype for all future transformers, and his AC distribution system formed the basis of modern electrical power distribution. In 1890, Stanley joined with John Kelley and Cummings C. Chesney to form the Stanley Manufacturing Company in Pittsfield, Massachusetts with the purpose of manufacturing electrical products. The company quickly developed all components required to make an electrical system including the alternator, transformer, motor, watt-hour meter, and lights. Their products were sold as part of an S.K.C. system. The business was purchased by General Electric in 1903. His other inventions include the thermos bottle. Stanley died prematurely of tuberculosis in 1916.
