Analytical and empirical models of online auctions

description: This thesis provides a discussion on some analytical and empirical models of online auctions. The objective is to provide an alternative framework for analyzing online auctions, and to characterize the distribution of intermediate prices. Chapter 1 provides a mathematical formulation of the eBay auction format and background to the data used in the empirical analysis. Chapter 2 analyzes policies for optimally disposing inventory using online auctions. It is assumed a seller has a fixed number of items to sell using a sequence of, possibly overlapping, single-item auctions. The decision the seller must make is when to start each auction. The decision involves a trade-off between a holding cost for each period an item remains unsold, and a cannibalization effect among competing auctions. Consequently the seller must trade-off the expected marginal gain for the ongoing auctions with the expected marginal cost of the unreleased items by further deferring their release. The problem is formulated as a discrete time Markov Decision Problem. Conditions are derived to ensure that the optimal release policy is a control limit policy in the current price of the ongoing auctions. Chapter 2 focuses on the two item case which has sufficient complexity to raise challenging questions. An underlying assumption in Chapter 2 is that the auction dynamics can be captured by a set of transition probabilities. Chapter 3 shows with two fixed bidding strategies how the transition probabilities can be derived for a given auction format and bidder arrival process. The two specific bidding strategies analyzed are when bidders bid: 1) a minimal increment, and 2) their true valuation. Chapters 4 and 5 provides empirical analyzes of 4,000 eBay auctions conducted by Dell. Chapter 4 provides a statistical model where over discrete time periods, prices of online auctions follow a zero-inflated gamma distribution. Chapter 5 provides an analysis of the 44,000 bids placed in the auctions, based on bids following a gamma distribution. Both models presented in Chapters 4 and 5 are based on conditional probabilities given the price and elapsed time of an auction, and certain parameters of the competing auctions. Chapter 6 concludes the thesis with a discussion of the main results and possible extensions.

description: With literacy at the forefront of education, educators today carry the mighty but rewarding task of creating opportunities for students to engage in productive and meaningful literacy practices in the classroom for both educational and social justice aims (Lazar et al., 2012; Popp et al., 2021). This is especially important in social studies, which has the explicit goal of students learning about their local and global communities to become informed, engaged citizens (Barton & Levstik, 2003). Thus, it is imperative that teachers move away from reinforcing traditional instructional practices which focus on students learning facts from authoritative sources (such as textbooks and teachers) (Nokes, 2013) to more active, agentive meaning making with primary and secondary sources for students to understand the past and become agents of change for their present and future worlds.

description: Zusammenarbeit gilt als rationale und intendierte Strategie – die Kooperationspartner teilen bestimmte Interessen und einigen sich auf den besten Weg, diese zu verwirklichen. Aber was ist eigentlich mit den automatisierten Abläufen? Das Symposium des Käte Hamburger Kolleg „Global Cooperation in the 21st Century“ aus Anlass der Ruhrtriennale 2013 hat automatische, unbewusste und ungewollte Kooperationen hinter dem Rücken der Akteure zum Thema gemacht. Dazu gehören neben den sprichwörtlich gewordenen Marktmechanismen der „unsichtbaren Hand“ automatisierte Verrichtungen durch Roboter und Programme wie der Hochfrequenzhandel an den Börsen, aber auch schlafwandlerische Handlungen, Traumata und Psychopathologien des Alltagslebens und nicht zuletzt diverse „Vorsehungen“ und Prädestinationen. Können, wie Bernard Mandevilles Bienenfabel zeigen sollte, aus privaten Lastern öffentliche Vorteile werden? Die Weltgesellschaft, eine Welt voller nicht-intendierter Folgen, dürfte von solchen Antrieben bewegt sein. Das Symposium hat sie mit Beiträgen aus diversen Disziplinen, der Kunst- und Theaterwissenschaft, der Ökonomie, der Psychoanalyse und der Informatik zu ergründen versucht. Die Beiträge der Autoren und Autorinnen, die zu diesem Anlass verfasst worden sind, werden hier zum Nachlesen und Weiterdenken veröffentlicht. (aus der Einleitung von Claus Leggewie)

Functions and genres of Chinese ESL children's English writing in school and at home
Creators: name: Sze, Sin Heng Celine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Drawing on a sociocultural perspective of genre as a social action situated in a particular context, this study examines the functions and genres of four second-grade ESL (English as a Second Language) children’s writing at home and at school. The two boys and two girls were born and raised in Canada, speaking English at school and with their siblings, and Cantonese at home with their parents who were immigrants from Hong Kong or China. A total of 67 pieces of school writing and 54 pieces of home writing were collected over a five-week period. Findings show that home writing exhibits a wider range of functions and genres than school writing. In the home context, the participating children wrote for more personal purposes, to entertain themselves, or to engage in social interactions with a real audience. In contrast, school writing narrowed the children’s choice of functions because of the teaching context, teacher expectations, and instructional objectives. Similarly, there was a greater variety in home genres, including greeting cards, diaries, notes, poems, and jokes in comparison to school genres that were confined to stories, journals, and list items. There was a strong relationship between the enactment of specific functions and particular genres while personal and social functions were more prevalent in their home-based than in their school-based writing. Qualitative analysis of the children’s writing shows that they constructed meaning with written language in individual ways in their enactment of functions and choice of genres and the use of different modes to represent meaning. The study suggests that teachers should be aware of the value of the writing opportunities and contexts children have at home and, therefore, incorporate such home experiences into classroom teaching. It also has implications for parents to conceive writing as a sociocultural as well as language practice, and to recognize the role of the home environment in their contributions to their children’s constructing meaning with written language. They should be aware of the need to build on the children’s interests and needs while encouraging them to write, and to make connections with school in working towards their writing development.
Biding time with close strangers: teachers’ sensemaking of newly arrived refugee youths’ educational aspirations in the Norwegian context

description: There is a widely recognised disjunction between the policies and practices of inclusive education for minority-language students. Using interview data, we analyse how teachers mediate tensions between their newly arrived refugee youth (NARY) students’ aspirations for higher education and limited opportunities to tailor teaching within Norway’s unitary educational system. The teachers are sympathetic to their students’ struggles with past experiences and with having to adapt quickly to an educational system alien to them and relate to NARYs as ‘close strangers’. They see aspirations for higher education in the foreseeable future as unrealistic for most NARYs. Using ‘sensemaking’ theory as an analytical resource, the teachers can be seen as using a ‘biding time’ approach, waiting patiently for students to opt for vocational instead of academic education. This makes it difficult for NARY students to make informed decisions about their aspirations, and it suppresses critique of how policy ideals of inclusive education are implemented in practice. Teacher education can be improved with more emphasis on how teachers can support and guide NARYs and involve them in their sensemaking of aspirations. This study also identifies challenges with a single-track unitary educational system, not tailored for individual differences between newly arrived language minority students. Newly arrived refugee youths (NARY) in Norway often aspire to higher education but are restricted by requirements of majority-language skills and country-specific competencies. In this study, we find that teachers typically feel emotionally close to their NARY students, while also seeing them as strangers to education requirements. The teachers manage tensions, from wanting both to be loyal to system requirements and to develop good relationships with NARY students, using a biding time approach: Waiting patiently for opportunities to persuade them to choose vocational training and postpone aspirations for higher education indefinitely, without telling them outright that they see their aspirations as unrealistic. This problem can be confronted by teachers themselves in how they communicate with NARY students and by alterations in teacher training. The study also shows that the unitary single-track education system in Norway is less inclusionary than expected because of limited adaptation of teaching and curricula.

description: History teaching in secondary school is intended to be a source of knowledge, hastening the nation-building process and enhancing the critical thinking and analytical skills of youth. It can serve as a tool for promoting peace and social cohesion within a nation. However, in Ethiopia, it has become a source of controversy, suspicion, hostility, and disharmony. This study investigates why history teaching in Ethiopia has not achieved its intended results, specifically its failure to prepare secondary school students to be critical thinkers and interpret the significance of the past. The study utilizes descriptive and historical research designs to explore this issue. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources, and the researchers employed the document analysis method to analyze them thematically and chronologically. The finding reveals that two main sets of ‘conundrums’, both external and internal, have prevented history from playing its desired role. These factors are interdependent: the internal issues stem from the external ones, and the external ones create fertile ground for the internal ones. Externally, factors such as foreign influences, foreign authors, and teachers played a role. Internally, factors like curriculum-based factors, disciplinary issues, ethnocentrism, the existence of competing narratives, and the state ideology of various regimes have impacted the direction of history teaching. Therefore, the combined influence of these internal and external dynamics has generally hindered the secondary school history teaching of the country from fulfilling its intended roles.

description: This paper discusses the nature of Chinese ideology and the policy of citizenship education from a cultural perspective, in the light of traditional life philosophies and current tendencies. The aim is to understand the Chinese conception of citizenship and the education of citizens as a nation-specific cultural formation and a production of politics. The analysis of the impacts of mainstream mental powers of Chinese civilization on citizenship education is based on reasoning in which the formation and characteristics of the concept of citizenship education is specified with respect to the mainstream ideologies of cultural heritage on the one hand and on the current Marxism on the other. The concept of a harmonious society has been a central political value of Chinese citizenship education in both past and present. The politics of citizenship education in today’s China appears ideologically as an attempt by the communist government to build a national identity in terms of reconciling the intellectual and cultural heritage of civilization with the social and political order based on a specific Chinese interpretation of Marxism. This article examines the characteristics of Chinese citizenship education, paying attention to the tension between the cultural heritage of Chinese civilization and the Marxist ideology that dominates today’s politics in China. Each country has its own unique spiritual foundation, a heritage of values ​​and beliefs that have shaped country-specific social conventions, influencing today’s ways of thinking and acting as well. Individual countries have their own country-specific notions of a good citizen and citizenship education aspirations and practices based on that. The article not only conveys information about the characteristics of citizenship education in China, but also inspires the reader to think about the nature of their own country’s concept of citizenship and the nature of citizenship education that embodies it. China’s example draws attention to possible tensions between country-specific intellectual heritage and contemporary political values, which is an essential issue ​​in each country’s national citizenship education.

description: Just as we can’t expect actors trained primarily for the stage to perform the same way in films, conventional Public Speaking (PS) must adapted to digital environments. This shift emphasizes the need to treat Digital Oratory (DO) as a separate, skill-based discipline. Our research aims to examine DO instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EDO) at the high school level. To evaluate the integration of Constructivism, Connectivism and Multimedia Learning Theories in EDO training, a mixed-methods study technique was employed, which involved creating a structured questionnaire, validating and disseminating it to communication experts (N = 52) worldwide. We have uncovered that EDO shares many fundamental characteristics with traditional PS while exhibiting distinct features. EDO prioritizes creativity, active listening, and leadership while also addressing the technical and digital competencies necessary for effective communication. Key challenges in implementing EDO courses include the lack of teacher training, institutional support, and inadequate technological infrastructure. EDO embraces an audience-centered and technology-based approach to communication training. Persuasive, prepared, and impromptu speeches, dynamic feedback, and interaction with the audience, as well as a balanced approach to the training of the rhetorical canons are an integral part of EDO. EDO training equips individuals with essential skills for 21st-century professional and personal development. Our research aims to contribute to the theoretical and practical understanding of English Digital Oratory (EDO), nowadays overriding communication paradigm.

description: The present study aims to analyze disability-related Amharic proverb messages, their implications, and gender orientation. To do so, a mixed research approach and descriptive survey design were applied. Data were collected through document analysis. The collected data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, frequency counts, and percentages. A total of 49 proverbs were analyzed. The analysis revealed that these analyzed disability-related Amharic proverbs were derogatory. Moreover, the findings showed that through the analysis of 49 proverbs, 11 themes (social, psychological, religious (spiritual), cognitive/perceptual, economical, anatomical, technological, advising, beauty, recruitment, health, and moral implications) have emerged. The analysis of the proverbs also revealed that most of the disability-related proverbs were gendered, while a few were gender-neutral. The overall results imply that disability-related Amharic proverbs have curriculum implications.

description: The UK’s STEM skills gap is a pervasive issue, manifesting as a marked shortage of skilled workers in these sectors. This shortage poses significant challenges for employers, who find it increasingly difficult to fill job vacancies with qualified candidates. The gravity of this problem has not gone unnoticed, with the government launching initiatives to bridge the gap. These initiatives range from increased funding for STEM educational programmes to the active promotion of apprenticeships that provide hands-on training and experience. However, as efforts to address the gap intensify, there have been conflicting reports on whether a STEM skills gap really exists. To gain deeper insights into this issue, we employed the PRISMA protocol, a recognised methodological approach, to curate relevant research reports for a systematic review. Our meticulous and critical evaluation of these reports aimed to discern their respective definitions of STEM and to tackle the overarching question of what truly constitutes STEM in academic and policy contexts. Our analysis revealed that there are inconsistencies in definitions of STEM and this can lead to interpretations that vary widely, and sometimes conflict with one another. We found different research reports include different subject areas under the STEM umbrella. Recognising the potential implications of such disparities, we advocate for standardisation in the way we cluster STEM skills/subjects. Such an approach not only promises clarity but will also pave the way for coordinated effective interventions. We identify and discuss potential avenues for future research and believe the paper will resonate with researchers and policymakers.

description: Educators’ competences in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a growing field of study. Still, critics warn that competence frameworks should not be used as a technical prescription without reflecting on the complexity of the educational setting. This study aims to shed light on the competences that educators in ESD, across both formal and non-formal educational settings, perceive as necessary for their role while analyzing how their motivations and challenges are interlinked with their ESD competences. These issues are explored through 18 online interviews with ESD educators within the Barcelona Metropolitan Area in Spain, where multiple and diverse ESD settings co-exist. Atlas.ti was used for the content analysis. Results show that a diverse set of competences was persistently perceived among participants as necessary. Across both formal and non-formal contexts, the role of competences such as Transdisciplinary and Empathy was especially interlinked with their motivations and challenges. Nonetheless, competences such as Systems were more relevant in the formal setting, while Participation was emphasized in the non-formal context. We discuss the various ways that educators perceive ESD competences as necessary, which are influenced by their working settings (e.g. formal and non-formal), but also their particular pedagogical challenges and individual motivations for proper diagnosis and training.

description: This study examined the persistence of first-year engineering students at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) pre- and mid-COVID-19 interruptions and whether their characteristics (race/ethnicity, financial need status, first-generation status, SAT scores) predicted their persistence. Using logistic regression, we compared the persistence of three cohorts (i.e. cohorts 1 and 2: pre-COVID-19 cohorts; cohort 3: mid-COVID-19 cohort) at both institutions. Before adjusting for student characteristics, the logistic regression results indicated students in the mid-COVID-19 cohorts had better persistence than most pre-COVID-19 cohorts at the HSI and HBCU. Additionally, at both institutions, after controlling for the variables in the model and regardless of cohort, students with higher SAT math scores (HSI) and higher SAT composite scores (HBCU) were more likely to persist in engineering. Also, after controlling for other variables in the models, persistence was not related to financial need or first-generation status, and these relationships were consistent across cohorts and institutions. Implications and limitations are discussed.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed numerous challenges for Street-Level Bureaucrats (SLBs). This paper adopts the sensemaking framework to examine the teaching experiences of high school teachers in the online environment, specifically focusing on their interpretation and implementation of COVID-19-related policies. Sixteen teachers from different high schools in Vietnam were selected purposely as participants in this study by considering the geographical influence and school rankings. The study reveals that decision-makers tend to grant higher levels of discretion to SLBs during crises compared to normal circumstances in the Vietnamese context, emphasizing the role of socio-cultural and political contexts in shaping policy implementation within centralized education systems. Also, recognizing the significance of policy signals and adopting a bottom-up approach that acknowledges the impact of SLBs on policy outcomes is paramount. By providing valuable insights to policymakers and school officials, this study provides an implication for reevaluating how better-established policy signals are received during times of crisis to prevent unintended consequences that may arise from local-level policy implementation.
