Robust test of Long Run Risk and Valuation risk model
Creators: name: Goutham, Gopalakrishna

Year: 2017
Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This paper tests the long run risk and valuation risk model using a robust estimation procedure. The persistent long run component of consumption growth process is proxied by a news based index that is created using a random forest algorithm. This news index is shown to predict aggregate long term consumption growth with an R-square of 57% and is robust to
inclusion of other commonly used predictors. I theoretically derive an estimatable bias term in adjusted Euler equation of the model that arises due to measurement error in consumption data and show that this bias term is non-zero. Using a three pass estimation procedure that accounts for this bias, I show that the long run risk and valuation risk model fails to explain
cross section of equity returns. This contrasts to the results from regular two pass Fama-MacBeth estimation procedure that implies that the same model explains the cross section of asset returns with statistically significant risk premia estimates.
A Primer on Alberta’s Oil sands Royalties
Creators: name: Dobson, Sarah
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2015

description: Fulfilling its campaign promise, the new NDP government announced a review of Alberta’s royalty framework in June 2015. The province receives royalty revenue from three main sources – natural gas, crude oil, and oil sands. Since the 2009-10 fiscal year the largest contributor to Alberta’s royalty revenues has been the oil sands. If you want a sense of how important oil sands royalties have been for Alberta’s finances, consider this: In the 2014–15 fiscal year, the government collected just over $5 billion from oil sands royalties. These royalties covered over 10 per cent of the province’s operational expenses of $48.6 billion in the same fiscal year. Over the last six fiscal years the oil sands have contributed an average of 10 per cent of revenues to provincial coffers. This makes oil sands royalties the fourth largest contributor behind personal income taxes (23 per cent), federal transfers (13 per cent) and corporate income taxes (11 per cent). But how many Albertans really understand how the royalty system works? What do we mean when we say “royalty”? How does the Alberta Government calculate royalties on oil sands producers? If the system is going to change, it’s important that Albertans understand how the current system works. That is what this paper is designed to do. For Albertans to properly judge the impact of new policy, they need a solid understanding of the current policy environment. We all know that oil prices have dropped and oil sands producers are losing profitability. As such, changes to the royalty system could have a deep and profound impact on the sector. Here are some of the issues this primer will study: • Pre-payout projects vs. post-payout projects, in other words, the classification of projects for royalty purposes based on whether the cumulative costs of a project exceed its cumulative revenues • Monthly payment of royalties vs. annual payment • Understanding the unit price of bitumen and how that price is applied • Gross vs. net revenues and the application of royalties • How the price of oil and the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars impact royalties • The historical and forecast contribution of oil sands royalties to Alberta’s finances Needless to say, a primer like this should be required reading for policymakers. It should also be required reading, however, for any Albertan who cares about the long-term benefit of the oil sands to Alberta’s revenue, and our financial future as a province.

The Canadian RMB Trading Centre: A Small Step in the Long Road of China’s Peaceful Rise in International Financial Markets
Creators: name: Curtis, John M.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2017

description: China is on the road to becoming a powerful force in global ﬁnancial markets; statistics suggest that already some 20 per cent of the world’s trade ﬁnance is currently conducted in the country’s currency — the yuan, or renminbi (RMB). That is a twentyfold increase in just ﬁve years. Canada has shrewdly connected its own ﬁnancial system to that of China’s, well before many other countries, in securing permission from China to host one of the world’s few renminbi trading hubs. The creation of these trading hubs is an important milestone for China in the long process of the internationalization of its currency. Hosting such a hub is an important milestone for Canada, in that it can help further the increase in bilateral trade and investment, the expanding exchange of businesspeople and students, and the official presence on the ground on the part of both countries’ governments. A key beneﬁt of the creation of an RMB trading centre in Canada is that it will enable Canadian ﬁnancial institutions to develop a capacity to trade, and an expertise in trading, Chinese currency for non-Chinese ﬁnancial instruments (such as stocks, bonds, etc.), and converting Canadian currency into Chinese investments. While this may seem straightforward, given the fact that so many different currencies are exchanged freely on global markets each day, the renminbi is unique in the fact that it has been a highly controlled, largely inaccessible currency. That has historically hampered its liquidity and added much more risk than is the case with other major currencies. Canada’s RMB trading hub will reduce those difficulties and risks. Just as signiﬁcant, however, is the symbolism of Canada’s new hub (which, really, is just a virtual hub, comprised of computer systems, rather than a physical office or trading ﬂoor). The designation of Canada as host to an RMB centre — one of just nine in the world, and the only one in North America — was the result of several years of co-ordinated and co-operative advocacy on the part of Canadian businesses and governments who recognized its future importance. And it is a more important step forward in Canada-China bilateral relations than it has perhaps been given credit for. As China marches towards internationalization and liberalization, Canada has positioned itself well as an early partner in that progress. The RMB trading centre might be just a small step, but it is a vital one, in ensuring that Canada remains closer to, and more connected to, China as it emerges as a powerful global force in the world’s ﬁnancial markets.

Mind the Gap: Transportation Challenges for Individuals Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Creators: name: Dudley, Carolyn

Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2016

description: WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?
An estimated 1 in 86 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)1 making it the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurological condition in Canada.2 Transportation challenges for those with ASD are a growing issue in Canada. People living with ASD3 and others who live with neurodevelopmental disability (NDD)4 rely almost exclusively on public transit and caregivers for transportation. The current transportation options are insufcient in meeting the needs of this population.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US?
Transportation is essential to promoting quality of life The transit system plays an essential role in improving quality of life for individuals with ASD and for their caregivers. However, problems with cognition, perception and communication are barriers to independence in transportation. Availability of transportation is critical to enable high levels of physical activity among those with intellectual disabilities.5 Safe and reliable transportation improves one’s ability to participate in programs that support quality of life and impacts employment, volunteering, religious participation, exercise, self-advocacy and health care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.6 Caregivers for those with ASD emphasize that transportation is critical to enable meaningful opportunity and community engagement in employment, education, healthcare and social pursuits.7

description: WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?
An estimated 1 in 86 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)1 making it the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurological condition in Canada.2 The true costs of lifelong support for people living with ASD3 are often underestimated and fail to acknowledge the value of caregiver time over the lifespan. Significant gaps in publically provided support systems leave the cost burden to be picked up by families. Relying on continued family supports where community services are fragmented or unavailable is not a sustainable approach.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US?
A continuum of supports are needed Most people living with ASD need supports that range from occasional assistance with higher level tasks, like organizing appointments or banking, to those who need continuous help with daily living.4 Areas where supportive care may be needed can be categorized broadly to include: self care, home living, service co-ordination, personal organization, health and safety management, adult day opportunities/employment, transportation, advocacy and social skills. These supports are most successful when they address the individual’s uniqueness in terms of communication, social, sensory, behavioural needs and physical and/or mental health conditions. Currently there are a lack of available supports, limiting opportunities for socialization, employment and residential living resulting in reduced independence for adults with ASD.

Creators: name: Halbritter, Michael
Year: 2010

description: In dieser Arbeit stehen die europäische Integration und die Kräfte bzw. Motivationen dahinter im Mittelpunkt. Konkret soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob das Konzept einer Allmacht durch Technik bzw. der Glaube an die technische Machbarkeit zum Einigungsprozess Europas beigetragen hat oder nicht. Wie es dazu kam und wie sich diese Technikaffinität geäußert hat, soll in der Arbeit nachvollzogen werden. In dieser Arbeit soll unter diesem Aspekt auf die technischen Ideen und Visionen verschiedener Persönlichkeiten eingegangen werden, die in der Zwischenkriegszeit bzw. in der unmittelbaren Zeit nach 1945 ihre große Blüte hatten. Einerseits handelt es sich hier um Herman Sörgel mit seinem Projekt Atlantropa, andererseits um EURATOM. Ziel von Atlantropa war es durch Schaffung eines neuen Superkontinents „Atlantropa“ alle großen Probleme in Europa zu lösen. Atlantropa sollte durch den Bau eines Staudammes bei Gibraltar geschaffen werden: das Mittelmeer vom Atlantik getrennt, dadurch abgesenkt und ein neuer (künstlicher) Kontinent geschaffen werden. Allgemein gibt es für Sörgels Atlantropapläne einen umfangreichen Nachlass in Form von Texten, Handschriften, Modellen, Zeichnungen im deutschen Museum in München. Für EURATOM gibt es eine große Menge an Sekundärliteratur – sowohl im Internet als auch in Buchform. Die Methode folgt klassischen Mitteln: Hermeneutik und Diskursanalyse. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass Technik als Mittel zur Problemlösung gerade in den 50er Jahren eine bedeutende Rolle inne gehabt hat: diese Rolle hat sich allerdings im Laufe der Zeit radikal gewandelt. Insbesondere wandelten sich die weiteren Integrationsschritte immer mehr zu einer wirtschaftlich-politischen Sicht.

description: This study investigated the preference for compensational palliatives for the removed fuel subsidy in Nigeria using Kogi State as a case study. The objectives of the study include determination of the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, examination of preference for compensational palliatives between genders and among the populace, determination of the preferred channels of palliative distribution, and test of hypotheses at 5% levels of significance at the appropriate degrees of freedom. The study used a multi-stage random sampling technique for selection of the 600 (out of which 560 was valid) respondents for eliciting primary data from the three local government councils with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The analytical techniques employed to analyze the data include percentile analysis, charts, and chi-square statistics. The findings of the study include the following: that majority of the respondents are adults and literate, have an average household size of seven, and belong to cooperatives; there were differences between and among the palliative preferences; most both men and women preferred food stuff subsidy first among the alternative compensational subsidies, which pointed to the situation of food security in the country following the fuel subsidy removal; and that there are differences between and among the channels of distributing the palliatives. It was therefore recommended that the views of both males and females should be sought in adopting alternative palliatives to replace the removed fuel subsidy, government at all levels should not impose any alternative palliatives on the citizens without seeking their opinions, governments should find out from the people the preferred channels for distributing palliatives, and alternative subsidies should be given a legal framework as social welfare packages for the citizens.

Energy Literacy in Canada: A summary
Creators: name: Eisler, Dale
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2016

description: Surveys among the general population, business and policy leaders, and aboriginal Canadians reveal that, among all three groups, there is ample general knowledge about the way Canadians use energy and the costs related to it. But when they think about economic and social policy issues of importance, Canadians tend to consider energy a low priority. While this may be the consequence of living in an energysecure country, given that the economy’s strength, growth and resilience are so intimately linked to secure and sustainable sources of energy, that lack of engagement can only be problematic for policymakers dealing with energy-related issues. It can lead to important choices being made without widespread public awareness, input and agreement. But, even more worrisome is that these surveys found that all three Canadian cohorts surveyed severely lack trust in the key voices that speak on energy issues. They hold negative views of energy company executives, mistrust information from industry associations, and lack trust in their provincial and federal governments. Aboriginal Canadians were the least likely to trust all these sources. The importance of trust cannot be overstated. The absence of trust can lead to negative consequences for investment in the energy system, and can undermine public confidence in leadership, making the challenge of improving energy literacy that much more difficult. An early step towards remedying that credibility gap could include creating independent, credible, centralized institutions that serve as clearing houses for non-politicized energy information, such as the Energy Information Administration in the United States. In addition, it is clear that Canada can only benefit from measures that nurture robust yet sober debate about energy issues, that will help stimulate public engagement. To that end, the creation of a national advisory coalition, comprised of aboriginal Canadians, academics, opinion leaders and former senior public servants, could provide a forum that would help shape consensus on issues that currently suffer from excessive polarization. In the Canadian context, energy literacy must mean more than just having a reasonable appreciation of where our energy comes from and how it is distributed. It also means having a firm grasp of the economic and environmental impacts, coupled with the trade-offs that are an inevitable part of energy production. Thus, for the public to give energy-related issues the emphasis and importance they warrant requires a level of energy literacy that includes understanding its critical role in Canada’s current and future standard of living.

description: WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?
An estimated 1 in 86 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)1 making it the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurological condition in Canada.2 Adults living with ASD3 have the poorest employment outcomes of those with disabilities. Most earn less than the national minimum hourly wage, endure extended periods of joblessness and frequently shuffle between positions, further diminishing their prospects. These poor employment outcomes result in lower quality of life and often lead to steep economic costs.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US?
Employment success increases quality of life Employment enhances quality of life, cognitive functioning and overall well-being of persons with ASD by increasing economic self-sufficiency, financial security, independent living, community participation and self-esteem.4, 5, 6 Unfortunately, employment outcomes for those living with ASD are poor; only 25 per cent of adults with ASD are employed, most of this group is considered high-functioning and only six per cent are competitively employed.7, 8 Success in employment is attributable to a combination of individual characteristics, external supports and policy enabling employment opportunities.

description: WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)1 is the most common neurological condition diagnosed in children in Canada. Estimates of prevalence are reported as national numbers but may not reflect local numbers and consequently local needs. Local and provincial ASD prevalence estimates can be used by policy makers to inform local service delivery, resource allocation and future planning.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH TELL US?
ASD prevalence is on the rise Estimates of ASD prevalence in Canada have risen dramatically over the past several decades.2 The reason for the dramatic rise is uncertain and may be a result of a combination of a true rise in incidence, changing diagnostic criteria and increased awareness.3 It has been speculated that Alberta may have higher numbers of persons with ASD due to family in-migration to utilize higher levels of funding for ASD supports compared to other provinces.4 Prior to this study, there were no prevalence estimates for Alberta to assess this theory. A better understanding of Alberta ASD prevalence is critical as these estimates assist policy-makers, clinicians and educators in planning for school supports, adult day programs, employment programs, housing options and other programs essential to enhancing quality of life for individuals living with ASD and their families.

Lin). Main tasks are to solve a North-South dynamical system of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) and compute intertemporal welfare effects.

To run this Python program, one should save the two source files into the same folder of your computer. The file of main.py is the driver, while the file of NSmodel.py declares a Python class including class members and class functions.

Specifically, the Python program accomplishes the following:

Solve the North-South dynamical system of DAEs with the Python solver "scipy.integrate.solve_bvp" for a nonlnear stable manifold and the time paths of variables that evolve in transition to steady state;

Compute steady state equlibirums for various scenarios;

Compute intertemporal welfare effects for the North and South when Southern IPRs are tightened to match the Northern standard.

Robustness checks on the coefficient of creative destruction.

The Python program includes detailed remarks in order for the code to be reader-friendly.

title: Das Personenzentrierte Konzept in der Basalen Stimulation
Creators: name: Schneider, Martina
Year: 2011

description: Diese Diplomarbeit widmet sich der Idee, dass im Konzept der Basalen Stimulation oft intuitiv Arbeitsweisen gefunden werden, die im Kern den Grundbedingungen des personenzentrierten Ansatzes entsprechen, auch wenn diese den handelnden Personen nicht ausdrücklich bekannt sind. In der Behindertenarbeit und im Speziellen im Konzept der Basalen Stimulation gelten Kongruenz, Einfühlungsvermögen und Wertschätzung als eine Grundvorrausetzung. Im theoretischen Teil wird zu Beginn das Konzept der Basalen Stimulation, sowie der Personenzentrierte Ansatz nach Carl Rogers dargestellt. In einem weiteren Kapitel werden diese beiden Ansätze miteinander in Verbindung gebracht. Eine für diese Arbeit, eigens durchgeführte empirische Studie mittels der qualitativen Forschungsmethode des persönlichen Gespräches nach Langer (2000) dient dabei der praktischen Untermauerung des theoretischen Teils der Arbeit.
description: This diploma-thesis devotes itself to the idea, that in the draught of the basal stimulation often functions are found intuitively, which correspond in the core to the basic terms of the person centred approach, even if these are not known to the acting person expressly. In the work with disabled persons and especially in the draught of the basal stimulation congruence, empathy and esteem are important as a base. In the beginning of he theoretical part the draught of the basal stimulation, as well as the person centred approach after Carl Rogers are shown. In an other chapter these both attempts are associated with each other. A qualitative survey, based on the method of “the personal interview” by Langer (2000) intends to enrich the theoretical part of the diploma – thesis.

title: Age of Acquisition und agrammatische Störungen der Morphologie
Creators: name: Roithner, Julian
Year: 2010

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Flexionsmorphologie des deutschen Plural- und Partizipsystems. Genauer gesagt behandelt sie deren Erwerb und Verarbeitung, sowie Störung bei aphasischen Patienten mit agrammatischer Symptomatik. Diese drei Hauptthemen wurden je für sich alleine, als auch der Einfluss des Erwerbsreihenfolge auf das Störungsbild bei Aphasikern, untersucht. Zusammenhänge zwischen Erwerbszeitpunkt und Verlust nennt man in der Linguistik und Psychologie Age of Acquisition – Effekte. Hierzu stellte ich einige Studien und Erklärungsansätze vor. Dazu musste jedoch vorher geklärt werden, was man unter Erwerb versteht, oder genauer gesagt, ab wann man etwas als erworben ansehen kann. Auch hierzu gibt es viele Theorien, von denen ich einige präsentierte und schließlich meine eigene Definition postulierte. Weiters ging ich, wie bereits erwähnt, auf die Struktur des deutschen Partizip- bzw. Pluralsystems ein, wobei ich mein Hauptaugenmerk auf den wesentlich komplexeren Plural legte. An dieser Stelle wurden verschiedne Faktoren der jeweiligen Marker behandelt, die den Erwerb beeinflussen (könnten). Weiters stellte ich zum Punkt Verarbeitungsmodelle, Single- und Dual Mechanism Modelle vor, sowie auch alternative Ansätze dazu. Auch einige Langzeituntersuchungen und Elizitationsstudien zu Erwerb bzw. Emergenz präsentierte und verglich ich. Um dies theoretischen Ansätze und Studienergebnisse zu überprüfen führte ich selbst je einen Test zu Plural- und Partizipfähigkeiten, bei Kindern und Agrammatikern durch. Die Ergebnisse stimmten mit einigen Angaben aus der Literatur überein, anderen widersprachen sie komplett, wie z.B. der Annahme von –s als Defaultplural. Die aus meinen Daten abstrahierte Erwerbsreihenfolge konnte die Leistung der Aphasiker relativ gut vorhersagen, was die Annahme eines Age of Acquisition – Effekts plausibel erscheinen lässt.
title: Cultural Autonomies in the Italian Autonomous Region of Friulia Venezia Giulia

Year: 2023

description: Italy’s autonomous region of Friuli Venezia Giulia (hereinafter FVG or the Region) covers the tri-border area of Italy, Slovenia and Austria. Here, one can discern the presence of three minorities: the German-speaking, the Friulian and the Slovene minority groups. These three minorities can be distinguished based on their status, characteristics, structure, history and expression of collective interests.
In the Italian Constitution and legislation as well as in the Region’s legislation, all three communities are identified as linguistic minorities, irrespective of their socio-political and socio-linguistic situation (Vidau 2013, 33). This term is used in Italian legislation as such a definition is the minimum possible common denominator of all legally protected types of minority groups in the Italian peninsula which comprise border-area national minorities, communities speaking regional languages and minorities that form linguistic islands or archipelagos. However, the use of this term can be also controversial, if the term is used by the majority nation in order to diminish the political significance of the presence of a minority. Consequently, the problem of minority rights is reduced to merely a problem of language, regardless of the fact that the nature of a minority is usually multifaceted and also includes the issues of political and broader social engagement. Moreover, the term national minority is used in international instruments such as the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (FCNM).

Osmia (Haetosmia) brachyura altera Peters 1974: 294. Type material: Holotype ♀, “Gulbahar, 1700 m, 8– 25.6.1956 ” (Afghanistan), Senckenberg Frankfurt.
New records. IRAN: Isfahan: Central province, Kashan—Abuzed-abad, 25– 27.5.1976, 1♀, 1♂ (leg. Holzschuh, Ressl). TURKMENISTAN: Ashgabat, 2.7.1928, 1♀ (leg. V. Gussakovskiy). UZBEKISTAN: Navbakhor, 30 km N of Kokand, 13.5.1994, 1♂ (leg. M. Halada); PAKISTAN: Killi Sarda, 12 km S of Quetta, 22.5.1984, 1♂ (leg. J. Rozen, Lodhi, Stupakoff); Pishin, 40 km N of Quetta, 23– 27.5.1984, 2♀, 6♂ (leg. J. Rozen, Lodhi, Stupakoff, R.J. McGinley).
Distribution. From central Iran over southern Turkmenistan eastwards to eastern Uzbekistan, northern Afghanistan and western Pakistan (Fig. 9).
Pollen hosts. All six pollen loads (from three different localities in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan) exclusively consisted of pollen of Heliotropium, suggesting a probable exclusive preference for this plant genus as pollen source..
Nesting biology. Unknown.
Notes. Peters (1974) considered H. altera to be a subspecies of H. brachyura (Morawitz 1875). However, the distribution areas of the two taxa, which distinctly differ morphologically e.g. in the length of the vertex and the relative length of the second segment of the labial palpus, partly overlap in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. Therefore, we consider the subspecies H. brachyura altera to be a species of its own, i.e. H. altera (Peters 1974), stat. nov .. H. altera has a distinctly larger distribution area than H. brachyura, which seems to be restricted to the Karakum and Kyzylkum Desert.

description: Die Wiedernutzung von durch verkippten Abraum geprägten Flächen ehemaliger Braunkohletagebaue als Bauland hat in den letzten Jahren an Bedeutung gewonnen. Aufgrund der durch die Verkipptechnologie entstandenen Inhomogenität es Baugrundes, ist mit starken Schwankungen der bodenmechanischen Eigenschaften zu rechnen. Dies macht den Umgang mit solchen Kippenböden schwierig. Dennoch hat es bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt einige Projekte gegeben, die die Bebauung von Tagebaukippen beinhaltet haben. Das in dieser Arbeit behandelte Projekt umfasst den Neubau einer Erschließungsstraße, die teilweise über eine Braunkohletagebaukippe führt. Für den Verkehrsdamm, gegründet auf Kippenboden, ist in dieser Arbeit eine Setzungsprognose zu erstellen. Dazu müssen zunächst vorhandene Daten der Baugrunderkundung und Bauplanung erfasst und ausgewertet werden. Für die Setzungsberechnung relevante Baugrund- und Materialparameter und Maße werden zunächst zusammengefasst. Neben seiner Inhomogenität ist besonders die makroporige Struktur des Baugrundes durch Klumpenbildung entscheidend. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die Messdaten aus dem Setzungsmonitoring ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse dieser Messungen dienen zum einen dem Vergleich mit den durch Berechnung oder Abschätzung ermittelten Setzungen und zum anderen der Kalibrierung oer Rückrechnung der Steifemodule im analytischen Berechnungsteil. Das Setzungsverhalten von Verkehrsdämmen auf Tagebaukippen ist grundsätzlich durch die große Verformbarkeit des Kippenbaugrundes unter Belastung geprägt. Aber auch die Setzungsanteile aus Eigensetzung der Kippe und des Dammes müssen in die Betrachtungen einbezogen werden. Dazu gibt es Abschätzungen und einfache Formeln auf Basis von Erfahrungswerten. Eine Besonderheit stellen eventuelle Sättigungssackungen des Kippenbodens resultierend aus dem Wiederanstieg des Grundwassers dar. Für diesen Verformungsanteil existiert lediglich ein Abschätzungsansatz aus Erfahrungswerten. Die Addition der einzeln ermittelten Verformungsanteile führt dann zur Setzungsprognose mithilfe konventioneller Verfahren. Mit dem Programm PLAXIS wird im nächsten Schritt eine numerische Berechnung der Dammsituation in den betrachteten Berechnungsschnitten durchgeführt. Relevante Materialmodelle und die Wahl der Parameter werden beschrieben und begründet. Im Zuge der Bearbeitung kommen das Mohr-Coulomb-Modell, das Hardening-Soil-Modell und das Soft-Soil-Modell zur Anwendung. Die berechneten Setzungen werden miteinander und mit den gemessenen Setzungen verglichen, um ihre Tauglichkeit für den Sonderfall der Tagebaukippen zu bewerten. Im Sinne einer Baugrundverbesserung existiert eine Vielzahl an Maßnahmen, die reduzierend oder beschleunigend bezogen auf die Verformungen des Baugrundes wirken. Auf diese Verfahren wird in einem abschließenden Abschnitt näher eingegangen. In einer kritischen Bewertung wird projektspezifisch ihre Tauglichkeit bzw. Anwendbarkeit geprüft.
