- ItemA study of inflation in Sri Lanka using new colombo consumer's price index compared to the old Colombo consumer's price index(The University of Peradeniya, 0211) Paranirupanathan, ChandrakalaThis study is based on the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Sri Lanka, New Colombo Consumer’s Price Index (CCPI(N)), Colombo Consumer’s Price Index (CCPI), Real Wage Rate Index (RWRI), Broad Money (M2) and Narrow Money (M1). The variables CCPI(N), CCPI, RWRI, M2 and M1 show integrated of order 1 (I(1)) behavior. The Johansen Cointegration was applied to test the long-run relationship, and the test shows that there is a cointegration between the two indices CCPI(N) and CCPI, and also there is a cointegration between CCPI(N) and M2. Further, there is no cointegration between the pairs (CCPI(N), RWRI), and (CCPI(N), M1). However, when the variable M2 is included in the cointegration regression of CCPI(N) and M1, then there exist a cointegration relationship between CCPI(N) and M1. The short-run relationship was investigated by the Error- Correction Model, and the future values of CCPI(N) for the time period from December 2008 to November 2010 were also calculated by using the error- correction model. In addition, the future values of CCPI(N) were calculated by using Time series analysis. The results show that, for short-term forecasts ARIMA model and for long-term forecasts cointegration model are useful.

- ItemEarly history of education in Ceylon (from earliest tiomes up to Mahasena)(University of Ceylon, 1966-11) Jayasekera, M.A.The traditional history of Ceylon is considered to have started with the advent of Gijevs to Ceylon. The story of education, or that of the activities of Vijaya and his immediate successors during this period is hardly available. A subsequent event, namely the introduction of Buddhism however changed this situation. With the arrival of Mahinda and his sister Sanghamitta in Ceylon, and the consequent spread of Buddhism in the country, a new religion and a new culture took firm root in the Island. Arts and crafts, architecture, education, literature, may all be considered to have sprung from this one single event. Thus the story of education in early Ceylon is in a way the story of the spread of Buddhism in the country. However, this study has been confined mainly to examining the educational aspects of the activities of our early ancestors. This study may broadly be considered to contain two distinctive sections, the background and the story proper. Chapters one to six are devoted to examining the background, while the rest, chapters seven to eleven, are devoted to examining the effect of such a background. On the whole it may be said that this study has focussed attention on the fact that education has emanated from the religious teacher, starting with Mahinda himself. Even the secular form of education that may have prevailed in earliest ‘times has also been traced to the viharas and aramas, the residences of the early theras, although we have isolated instances of teachers like Pandula who may be considered to have functioned irrespective of any religious bearing. Panqula however, lived before the advent of Buddhism into the country. In this survey it has been observed that the practice of keeping ‘historical records', and the custom of maintaining the system of bhagakas kept alive the tradition of literary activity and study in the country. The building of religious edifices, and secular buildings, like thtpas and palaces etc., and the incising of inscriptions etc. on hard granite and the like kept alive the art of the craftsman and the artist.
