Environmental justice communities' participation and bureaucrats' involvement efforts in traditional participation and collaborative processes
Creators: name: Hung, Mei Jen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines environmental justice communities' participation and bureaucrats' efforts to involve these communities. The literature suggests that bureaucrats who favor control and technical rationality are usually in conflict with the idea of citizen participation. The literature on participation has neglected the role of bureaucrats in citizen participation. This dissertation uses case studies, survey, and interviews to examine bureaucrats' attitudes, behaviors, and motivations in involving communities in both traditional participation and collaborative processes. Twenty-one traditional participation cases and nineteen collaborative cases are examined. In the former, communities have shown strong motivation to participate; however, bureaucrats' implementation of participation has been problematic. Communities were dissatisfied with their participation and bureaucrats' failures to implement participation increased distrust. Some explanations of bureaucrats' failures are lack of respect, fear of too much participation, and bureaucratic slack. In most collaborative case studies, bureaucrats brought in expertise, resources, and built trust in government; however, their efforts may have resulted from the fear of lawsuits or complaints. In addition, bureaucrats excluded communities from the core structure of collaborative efforts in about half of the cases. They were concerned about efficiency and about their agency's reputation, and doubted communities' ability to participate. Dispute resolution cases show that bureaucrats can give communities leverage in negotiation with facility owners or developers. A survey of government employees involved in environmental justice efforts and twelve interviews are conducted to complement the case studies and test some of the hypothesis developed based on the case studies and the literature. The survey results show lack of education and resources and distrust are the major obstacles to participation. The results also show that political leadership is critical in bureaucrats' environmental justice efforts. Increasing workforce diversity would assist future efforts to address environmental justice. The survey results are exploratory. The response rate is not high and nonresponse bias needs to be considered. This dissertation provides some insights to bureaucrats' behaviors in encouraging citizen participation and recommends improving bureaucrats' understanding of communities and appreciation of local knowledge, developing trust and increasing workforce diversity.

description: This dissertation explores methodological issues in productivity measurement and the dynamics of market structure, competition and plant-level productivity growth in Colombia's manufacturing sector. Recent econometric developments have proposed significant improvements over traditionally used methods, offering simultaneity bias and selection bias corrections in estimating total factor productivity. However, the magnitude of this bias on production function estimates and its resulting effect on productivity calculations is unknown. We compare productivity estimates from six widely used techniques using both a gross output production function and the classical value added functional form. The dataset comprises a panel of Colombian manufacturing plants observed from 1993 to 2002. We find evidence of large disparities across methods in both productivity levels and growth estimates: correlations are low and there are large variations in the estimates of productivity dispersion across methods. The methods offer a contrasting view on the sources of productivity heterogeneity. Parametric estimates suggest that aggregate industry productivity is mainly the result of reallocation of resources to more efficient producers, while the semi-parametric methods attribute productivity differentials to within plant changes. Functional form specification, type of industry, and time horizon matters. The productivity estimates are used to examine the relationship between competition and productivity growth. While existing studies estimate measures of central tendency, we model plants' conditional productivity distribution using regression quantiles. The effect of competition on productivity growth varies widely based on plants' location in the conditional productivity growth distribution. We show that, after controlling for unobserved plant and industry heterogeneity, at upper ends of the productivity growth distribution a 'Schumpeterian' effect of higher competition lowering growth dominates. For firms at the lower tails an 'escape competition' effect of productivity improvements prevails. We also show that, within an industry the relationship between competition and productivity growth is correlated with existing levels of competition. The diversity in the competition-productivity relationship at the industry level suggests that industry orientation is fundamental in defining competition policy targets. While removing entry barriers and tightening antitrust/collusion policy could increase aggregate growth in some industries, higher competition need not necessarily favor growth of all firms in other industries.

description: Rare event sampling techniques have been used to investigate the connectivity properties of the state space of chess positions.
 This work entails writing a client program anew for the rare event sampler SPRES [1] (Stochastic Process Rare Event Sampling), studying the connectivity properties of specific subspaces, modelling the sampled subspaces as random graphs, exploring their emergent properties and studying the resilience in connectivity of sampled regions with a proposed flow network model. Finally, by modelling chess in terms of statistical mechanics, certain aspects of its long term behaviour are characterized in a manner analogous to certain physical systems, e.g. the motion of Brownian particles or the glassy phase of amorphous materials.

title: Narration und Attraktion in gegenwärtigen Animationsfilmserien für Kinder
Creators: name: Streit, Andrea
Year: 2015

description: In dieser Arbeit geht es darum, die Kinderanimationsfilmserien, Das Dschungelbuch, das im Herbst 2014 im öffentlich rechtlichen KIKA lief und Cosmo und Wanda, das zur gleichen Zeit auf dem Privatfernsehkanal NICKELODEON gezeigt wurde, unter den Aspekten Narration und Attraktion zu analysieren. Unter Einbeziehung theoretischer Grundlagen aus der Erzähltheorie u.a. nach Genette, sowie Gunnings Aufsatz zum Kino der Attraktionen konnte herausgearbeitet werden, dass der ausgewählten Episode des Dschungelbuchs eine komplexe Erzählstruktur zugrunde liegt die nur selten durch Mittel der Attraktion gebrochen wird. Im Gegensatz dazu weist die Episode von Cosmo und Wanda eine hohe Dichte von Elementen der Attraktion auf und folgt in der narrativen Struktur einfachen dramaturgischen Notwendigkeiten.
description: In this thesis the two animated series for children, Das Dschungelbuch, which has been broadcasted in the public service television channel KIKA during autumn 2014, and Cosmo und Wanda, which in the same period of time has been broadcasted in the private television channel NICKELODEON, are being compared under the aspects narration and attraction. Theoretical principles of narration theory, inter alia according to Genette and Gunning‘s essay „The Cinema Of Attractions“, have been applied and show that the chosen episode of Das Dschungelbuch has a complex narrative structure which rarely is interrupted by means of attraction. Whereas very many elements of attraction can be found in the chosen episode of the series Cosmo und Wanda which uses a narrative structure based on rather basic dramaturgic necessities.

Ubuntu: Globalization, accommodation, and contestation in South Africa
Creators: name: Ngcoya, Mvuselelo
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Following the end of constitutional apartheid, indigenous perspectives and practices have gained prominence in South Africa. This dissertation examines the promise of the indigenous philosophy of ubuntu and asks how and why this worldview has emerged as one of the most important keywords in the new postcolony. It outlines the role of ubuntu in the transition from apartheid and explores what it may reveal about the shifting power relations in the shadow of neoliberal globalization conditions. While there is a growing body of literature on the philosophical aspects of ubuntu, there is a dearth of detailed empirical research that connects its multiple uses to the social, political, and economic relations in the country. In exploring the potential of ubuntu in shaping the future of a democratic South Africa, the dissertation brings to the fore the voices of community organizations and individual activists. A combination of qualitative methods was used; primarily ethnographic field research in Clermont, a township on the outskirts of Durban. In addition to participating in the activities of community groups, the research benefited from unstructured interviews of leaders and representatives of 23 community organizations and non-governmental organizations in the township. Interviews of ubuntu-oriented international actors underscored a key point: the resurgence of ubuntu in South Africa is not an isolated local phenomenon and it has significance for understanding similar global phenomena. The research findings reveal that despite decades of subjugation under colonial rule, indigenous knowledges and practices thrived and continue to be relevant in the new postcolony. While it is important to pose the question, "What is ubuntu?" the dissertation follows a more sociological approach that asks: "Who speaks of ubuntu? And to what end?" To answer these questions, the study borrows conceptual tools from indigenous knowledge literature, globalization studies, and Karl Polanyi's notion of the double-movement theorem. The sociological approach adopted here demonstrates that the resurgence of ubuntu does not represent mere postmodern articulations of identity politics (or so-called "invented traditions"). Rather, it marks the production of new forms of consciousness and the expression of discontent with (post)modernity.

The importance of temporal organization in memory for music and language

description: Four experiments examined the influence of temporal organization in memory for music and language. In Experiments 1, 2, and 3 participants were presented with pairs of audio clips, each corresponding to half of a phrase (linguistic or musical). One group judged if the second clip of a pair was from a familiar source or not, and the first clip served as a prime for the second (familiarity group). Another group judged if the second clip was from the same source as the first clip (same/different group). The pairs comprised two clips from the same familiar source, two clips from two different familiar sources, or the first clip from a familiar and the second clip from an unfamiliar source. The clips could be presented in a forward order or a backward order, in which the second clip (corresponding to the second half of a phrase) was played first. The results showed that both groups demonstrated priming in that they were faster and more accurate in forward and backward directions when both melodies were from the same familiar song (Experiment 1). When pairs involved longer temporal distances between the clips, participants were slower and less accurate (Experiment 2). When instrumental pieces and linguistic pairs comprising familiar sayings were used, both groups demonstrated differences between the musical and linguistic stimuli, with general faster reaction times to the linguistic stimuli (Experiment 3). In Experiment 4, all materials from the previous experiments were used, and song lyrics were also introduced. Instead of pairs of clips, extended clips were played, either in temporal or scrambled order, and all participants performed the familiarity task as the clip played, allowing for an online measure of processing. Participants were faster with the linguistic stimuli compared to the musical stimuli; in addition, responses were slower with scrambled song melodies compared to instrumental melodies. Results are discussed in the context of accessing music and text either separately or simultaneously, and the presence of mechanisms governing processing of music and language.

description: Given n discrete observations of a homogeneous diffusion process with a piecewise constant diffusion coefficient containing one point of discontinuity p0, we study the semiparametric problem of estimating its 'change in space'- point p_0 in the high-frequency setting. We establish a lower bound for the minimax rate of convergence n^--3/4, which is slower than the n^-1-rate in traditional change-point problems.

Policy entrepreneurship in the U.S. Senate: Evidence from morning hour speeches
Creators: name: Moukarim, Joumana
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Using original data from morning hour speeches in the 104 th and 108th Congresses, this study revisits a debate in the literature on the importance of internal and external conditions in explaining policy activism in the Senate. Do internal resources shape entrepreneurial efforts in the Senate, as some argue? Or is behavior of senators as individualistic and unhampered by institutional constraints, as others seem to maintain? And, what role do senators' external circumstances play in explaining their zeal for policy activism?; In addressing these questions, I examine three forms of entrepreneurship on the Senate floor during the morning hour: speech frequency (how frequently senators speak on policy issues), speech focus (how frequently senators speak on state and national issues), and speech frames (how frequently senators frame issues as problems in policy speeches). In my analyses of floor behavior, I distinguish between pre-agenda and agenda speeches. The goal is to reveal the characteristics of policy entrepreneurs in the Senate, who (1) use unstructured floor time during the morning hour to debate pending policy choices (agenda issues) and (2) use this time to pursue and promote issues they view as important, but which have yet to find a place on the Senate agenda (pre-agenda speeches). In my analyses, I explore conditions, internal and external, that distinguish senators who actively purse their policy goals in morning speeches from senators who are less active during the morning hour. Results from this study suggest that internal rules remain important predictors of entrepreneurial efforts in the Senate. I also find that contextual factors, mainly the diversity of state interests, also play an important role in explaining policy activism during the morning hour. These findings confirm and expand on other works in the field and illustrate the strong impact of internal and external factors on policy entrepreneurship in the Senate.
Switching on electricity demand response: Evidence for German households

description: Empirical evidence on the response of German households to electricity price changes is sparse. Using panel data originating from Germany’s Residential Energy Consumption Survey (GRECS), we fill this void by employing an instrumental variable approach to cope with the endogeneity of the consumers’ tariff choice. By additionally exploiting our information on the households’ knowledge about power prices, we also employ an Endogenous Switching Regression Model to estimate price elasticities for two groups of households, finding that only those households that are informed about prices are sensitive to price changes, whereas the electricity demand of uninformed households is entirely price-inelastic.
