Role of seniority

description: I study how organizations assign tasks to identify the best candidate to promote among a pool of workers. Task allocation and workers’ motivation interact through the organization’s promotion decisions. The organization designs the workers’ careers to both screen and develop talent. When only non-routine tasks are informative about a worker’s type and non-routine tasks are scarce, the organization’s preferred promotion system is an index contest. Each worker is assigned a number that depends only on his own type. The principal delegates the non-routine task to the worker whose current index is the highest and promotes the first worker whose type exceeds a threshold. Each worker’s threshold is independent of the other workers’ types. Competition is mediated by the allocation of tasks: who gets the opportunity to prove themselves is a determinant factor in promotions. Finally, features of the optimal promotion contest rationalize the prevalence of fast-track promotion, the role of seniority, or when a group of workers is systemically advantaged.

description: Government debt can be rolled over forever without primary surpluses in some stochastic economies, including some economies that are dynamically efficient. In an overlapping-generations model with a constant growth rate, g, of labor-augmenting productivity, and with shocks to the durability of capital, we show that along a balanced growth path, the maximum sustainable ratio of bonds to capital is attained when the risk-free interest rate, rf, equals g. Furthermore, this maximal ratio maximizes utility per capita along a balanced growth path and ensures that the economy is dynamically efficient.

IL FANTASMA DELLE “PROSE”. L’EREDITÀ DI PIETRO BEMBO NELLA GRAMMATICOGRAFIA SCOLASTICA ITALIANA
Creators: name: Patota, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2018

description: Il saggio si propone di valutare l’influenza delle Prose della Volgar lingua di Pietro Bembo sulle grammatiche italiane tra Ottocento e Novecento, considerando la complessiva produzione lessicografia per la scuola analiticamente studiata da Maria Catricalà prima e, più di recente, da Dalila Bachis. La “traccia” delle Prose si manifesta nel concetto di armonia neoplatonica, principio che struttura l’opera del Bembo e, di riflesso, attraversa le grammatiche scolastiche. Inoltre, comune (e originata dalle grammatiche del Bembo e del Fortunio) è il principio che la lingua scritta, con il filtro degli scrittori, deve prevalere su quella parlata. Il fantasma del modello bembiano sopravvive così, attraverso questi principi e con questa prospettiva di lettura, nella grammaticografia ottocentesca e novecentesca, che eredita dalle grammatiche scolastiche del Seicento e del Settecento una forma già divulgata dei modelli normativi cinquecenteschi.

The phantom of “Prose”. The heritage of Pietro Bembo in scholastic italian grammarography

The essay aims to evaluate the influence of the Prose della Volgar lingua by Pietro Bembo on Italian grammar books between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, considering the overall scholastic lexicographical production studied analytically by Maria Catricalà and Dalila Bachis. The “trace” of the Prose is found in the concept of Neoplatonic harmony, a principle that structured the work of Bembo and, consequently, scholastic grammar books. Moreover, the grammar books by Bembo and Fortunio sustained that written language, with the filter of the authors, prevailed over spoken language. Thus, the ghost of the Bembian model survives thanks to these principles. Nineteenth and twentieth-century grammatography inherited scholastic grammar books from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which were in turn based on sixteenth-century normative models.

description: L’articolo intende avviare uno studio sulla categoria di complemento nelle grammatiche scolastiche postunitarie. Sono state innanzitutto ripercorse le annotazioni relative all’analisi della frase semplice contenute nei programmi scolastici e nei documenti ministeriali della seconda metà dell’Ottocento, che concordano nel condannare il ricorso a definizioni e classificazioni troppo rigide e mnemoniche, ma che sono spesso disattese; la seconda parte analizza più nel dettaglio la grammatica di Luigi Morandi e Giulio Cappuccini (1894), che consente anche di confrontare le due edizioni pensate per i diversi ordini di scuola.

«A bunch of different things». The classification of objects in post-Unitarian grammar books

The purpose of the article is to study the category of objects in scholastic Italian grammars from the post-Unitarian period. Initial focus is on the analysis of simple sentences contained in school programs and in ministerial papers from the second half of the 19th century, which agree in condemning the use of overly rigid, mnemonic definitions and taxonomies, but which were often disregarded. The second part centers on the grammar book by Luigi Morandi and Giulio Cappuccini (1894), including comparison between the two editions published for primary and secondary schools.

description: Over 30 million US adults do not use formal consumer credit. How many of these are inefficiently excluded because they lack a credit history or have a poor credit score? We develop a framework to characterize the efficiency-maximizing system of credit histories and credit scoring, subject to the constraints imposed by the severity of adverse selection and by the ability of credit histories to predict future risk. We find US consumer credit features a moderate amount of adverse selection and persistent consumer types. This adverse selection generates substantial welfare loss: a majority of today's non-borrowers would be first-best efficient to lend to. Credit reporting helps alleviate the costs of adverse selection, with the current US system recovering roughly two-thirds of the welfare that would be lost in a no-credit-reporting counterfactual, relative to a full-information first-best. We find that requiring histories to be shorter – or to forget past defaults sooner – would induce some market unraveling but also would help non-borrowing consumers escape the "no history trap."
LA DIDATTICA DELL’ITALIANO TRA LINGUA E LETTERATURA NELLE GRAMMATICHE POSTUNITARIE

Year: 2018

description: Il contributo analizza con quali modalità gli autori di grammatiche scolastiche postunitarie abbiano messo in pratica il ruolo di modello educativo, patriottico e linguistico della letteratura. Per farlo, l’autrice si avvale di un piccolo campione di dieci testi editi dopo l’Unità e prima della Riforma Gentile. Il punto di vista privilegiato per l’analisi è quello delle esercitazioni, in quanto gli autori attingono alla lingua letteraria per esercizi ed esempi. Il lavoro prende in esame la struttura delle grammatiche e il canone letterario proposto in esse; poi si concentra sul tipo di operazione che si richiede di fare negli esercizi utilizzando il testo letterario e infine fa riferimento agli altri tipi di testo presenti negli stessi esercizi. Dall’analisi così effettuata emerge che nelle grammatiche postunitarie brani tratti da opere letterarie (testi in prosa e in versi, appartenenti a diversi registri e prodotti nell’arco di cinque secoli) si mescolano a materiale linguistico inventato, in un composito panorama. Chiude l’intervento una breve riflessione sull’utilizzo dei testi letterari nell’insegnamento attuale della lingua italiana.

Teaching italian language and literature using post-unitarian grammar books

This paper analyzes how the post-unification authors of school grammar books put the role of an educational, patriotic and linguistic model of literature into practice. To do so, the author uses a small sample of ten texts published after the Unification and before the “Gentile” Reform. The analysis focuses on the exercises, since the authors drew on literary language for exercises and examples. The structure of grammars and the literary language proposed in them is examined; then it focuses on the types of operations required in the exercises based on the literary texts and finally considers the other types of texts present in the same exercises. The analysis shows that in the grammar books, extracts from literary works (texts in prose and verse, belonging to different registers spanning over five centuries) are mixed with invented linguistic material, in a composite panorama. Finally, there is a short reflection on the use of literary texts in current Italian language teaching.

description: Spatial and trophic interactions between macrofaunal species were studied in a high energy intertidal system during spring-summer low tides. Bioturbation by the enteropneust hemichordate, Balanoglossus aurantiacus (Girad), as evidenced by large fecal mounds, was a conspicuous feature on the sandflat Sediment characteristics were compared between ambient (non-fecal) and B. aurantiacus fecal mound types (fresh-oxidized, fresh-reduced, aged-oxidized, and aged-reduced). Fecal material was differentiated by age based on the presence or absence of mucus and the time of fecal deposition. The color of fecal material was used to assign oxidative state. Multiple isotopes (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) were used to determine the origins and transformations of organic matter within the sandflat The spatial distribution of macrobenthic species and community diversity metrics were studied in relation to ambient sediments and fecal mound types, tidal direction-distance from fecal mounds, and depth distribution below the sediment surface relative to fecal mounds.

Fecal and ambient sediments were well-sorted medium-fine sands with low total organics, indicative of a high-energy, highly permeable intertidal system. Total organics were higher in fecal mounds relative to ambient sediments. Stable isotope data indicated that drifting macroalgae, local patches of Spartina alterniflora, and plant detritus from surrounding marshes were the most likely organic sources for non-carnivorous species, with no direct incorporation of carbon from ambient or fecal sediments by deposit-feeding consumers. Nitrogen isotopes separated expected trophic levels and sulfur isotopes differentiated oxidized and reduced feeding habitats for consumers. Density of the haustoriid amphipod, Acanthohaustorius millsi Bousfield, was negatively associated with B. aurantiacus defecation; whereas, the paraonid polychaete, Paraonis fulgens (Levinson), was unaffected by the fecal disturbance. Both A millsi and P. fulgens exploited the upper surface sediments more than subsurface sediments; however, each was observed within deep subsurface sediments. Both species may use fecal mounds as foraging habitat and also move to greater sediment depths to avoid the physical disturbance of defecation, the overcrowding of surface sediments, or to avoid desiccation during low tide. The high mobility of A millsi and P. fulgens may permit coexistence with large bioturbators in this high-energy intertidal habitat.

Dopo alcuni paragrafi dedicati a delineare la situazione generale della didattica della scrittura a scuola (temi e testi ricorrenti, collocazione nei programmi, strumenti dedicati), si passeranno in rassegna alcune testimonianze e alcune opere innovative. In particolare, sarà dedicato ampio spazio al contributo di Giuseppe Lombardo Radice e di altri pedagogisti, senza però trascurare l’apporto dei linguisti più aperti all’innovazione e più sensibili alla realtà scolastica e sociale in evoluzione.

«For simple and healthy school use». Directions and writing exercises in grammar books and language education text books from the first decades of the 19th century

The article explores some significant examples of the changes in teaching writing which started in the early part of the 20th century in Italy. After an outline of the general situation of teaching writing at school (typical compositions and texts, place in school curricula, tools), some significant contributions and innovative works will be reviewed. Particular focus will be on Giuseppe Lombardo Radice and other educators, without neglecting the influence of linguists who were more willing to renew and more sensitive to school and social changes. On the basis of this analysis, we would like to retrace little-known but interesting precedents to better understand the current situation.

description: Sexual harassment imposes substantial economic costs on the victims, yet there is limited evidence on how to effectively deter it. Using a randomized controlled trial, I show that class-based sexual harassment awareness training with men in New Delhi reduces women’s reports of sexual harassment by classmates, even though men in the treatment group do not report improved attitudes. This is consistent with men avoiding harassing women to avoid peer disapproval. The training also leads to a long-lasting reduction in romantic relationships between men and women within the classroom. This is consistent with women not being able to judge men’s “quality” from their behavior once social reprehension of harassment generates a pooling equilibrium. A similar female intervention did not lead to detectable effects on these outcomes.

description: We study how the Fed’s communication of its forward-looking policy stance affects risk premia in financial markets. We analyze private deliberations of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to elicit policy stance beyond the current announcement. We show that more hawkish (dovish) policymakers’ views expressed in the FOMC meeting predict economically significant reductions (increases) in risk premia during the subsequent intermeeting period. The risk premium reaction unfolds gradually in the days after the FOMC announcement. The effect is not subsumed by the content of the FOMC statements and is distinct from the “on impact” risk-premium reduction caused by surprise rate cuts at the FOMC announcements, documented in the literature. To understand the predictive power of the Fed’s private deliberations, we trace out how the stance emerging from the meeting is revealed to the public via speeches and minutes, and tie the movements in risk premia to the granular communication events over the intermeeting period. The results highlight the role of communication in managing public risk perceptions.

description: La Grammatica italiana ad uso delle scuole (1918) di P.G. Goidànich riflette quella vocazione all’utilità che l’autore riconosceva tra i motivi della sua passione per la scienza linguistica, presentandosi come un testo rivolto ai bisogni di una scuola reale. A partire dalla Prefazione dell’autore, si passano in rassegna alcuni degli elementi di novità del libro, descrivendo poi la sua struttura e l’ordinamento della materia e soffermandosi sulla presenza di fonti orali, lessicografiche, letterarie nelle ricche informazioni di vocabolario.

Si esaminano poi alcune voci (lui, lei, loro soggetto, gli per loro, cosa pronome interrogativo), anche nel confronto con altre grammatiche, tenendo conto della prospettiva che fa da sfondo alla Grammatica: la distinzione tra lingua letteraria comune, lingua familiare, lingua solenne. Infine viene segnalato uno degli aspetti più interessanti del testo, l’attenzione rivolta alla variazione, attraverso alcuni esempi o casi significativi passati in rassegna, che mostrano la consistente e articolata presenza di rilievi sociolinguistici.

The “grammar” of P. G. Goidànich: linguistics “useful for practical life”

The Grammatica italiana ad uso delle scuole (1918) by P. G. Goidànich reflects author’s vocation to utility which he recognized as the basis for his passion for linguistic science, addressed to the needs of a real school. Starting from the Preface, I will review some of the novel elements of the book, describing its structure and the order of the subjects, focusing on the presence of oral, lexicographical and literary sources in the rich language used. Then I will examine some grammatical forms (lui, lei, loro subject, gli for loro, cosa interrogative pronoun), also in comparison with other grammars: the distinction between lingua letteraria comune, lingua familiare, lingua solenne. Finally, the attention given to the variation, one of the most interesting aspects of this grammar book, will be illustrated through some examples, showing the consistent and articulated presence of sociolinguistic references.

Radial-Velocity Signatures Of Magnetic Features On The Sun Observed As A Star

description: In recent years, the search for Earth-mass planets using radial-velocity measurements has become increasingly limited by signals arising from stellar activity. Individual magnetic features induce localized changes in intensity and velocity, which combine to change the apparent radial velocity of the star. Therefore it is critical to identify an indicator of activity-driven radial-velocity variations on the timescale of stellar rotation periods. We use 617.3 nm photospheric filtergrams, magnetograms, and dopplergrams from SDO/HMI and 170.0 nm chromospheric filtergrams from AIA to identify magnetically-driven solar features and reconstruct the integrated solar radial velocity with six samples per day over the course of 2014. Breaking the solar image up into regions of umbrae, penumbrae, quiet Sun, network, and plages, we find a distinct variation in the center-to-limb intensity-weighted velocity for each region. In agreement with past studies, we find that the suppression of convective blueshift is dominated by plages and network, rather than dark photospheric features. In the future, this work will be highly useful for identifying indicators which correlate with rotationally modulated radial-velocity variations. This will allow us to break the activity barrier that currently precludes the precise characterization of exoplanet properties at the lowest masses.

description: This paper studies the macroeconomic consequences of asymmetric interest rate shocks at which small open economies borrow in international financial markets. Empirically, we document that borrowing spreads have two distinct regimes. The first one features stable borrowing rates, i.e. low risk. In contrast, the second phase displays large spreads with significant volatility and asymmetry – high risk. We fit the spreads to a rich statistical process that allows for changes in the level, volatility, skewness, and kurtosis of the spread’s distribution. Each of the spread regimes is estimated to be highly persistent. When we embed the estimated spreads in a standard small-open economy model, we find that 1) Spread shocks alone explain a large fraction of the volatility in consumption and investment in the data 2) Interest shocks of similar magnitude have stronger contractionary effects in an economy where only low risk exists than in one with changes between high and low risk. 3) The transition from an economy with only low-risk interest rate shocks to one like in the data results in a significant and persistent contraction. The welfare cost of this transition equals 2.4% of consumption. Finally, an unexpected increase in skewness pushes the economy into a recession with output, consumption, and investment dropping by as much as 1%, 2%, and 5%, respectively. This contraction resembles those experienced by developing countries during sudden stop episodes.

description: In an experiment that elicits subjects' willingness to pay (WTP) for the outcome of a lottery, we confirm the fourfold pattern of risk attitudes described by Kahneman and Tversky. In addition, we document a systematic effect of stake sizes on the magnitude and sign of the relative risk premium, holding fixed both the probability that a lottery pays off and the sign of its payoff (gain vs. loss). We further show that in our data, there is a log-linear relationship between the monetary payoff of the lottery and WTP, conditional on the probability of the payoff and its sign. We account quantitatively for this relationship, and the way in which it varies with both the probability and sign of the lottery payoff, in a model in which all departures from risk-neutral bidding are attributed to an optimal adaptation of bidding behavior to the presence of cognitive noise. Moreover, the cognitive noise required by our hypothesis is consistent with patterns of bias and variability in judgments about numerical magnitudes and probabilities that have been observed in other contexts.

Hier wird zunächst verdeutlicht, was Kompetenzen im eigentlichen Sinn sind, welche Arten von Kompetenzen es gibt und wie sie zu erkennen sind. Darüber hinaus wird definiert, was Kommunikation ist und welche Bausteine notwendig sind, um eine wahre Kommunikation zu führen. Anschließend wird auf das Thema „Mediation“ näher eingegangen. Im Anschluss daran folgt die Beschreibung und Verdeutlichung der Modelle und warum Mediation ein geeignetes Tool für die Kommunikation ist. Die drei Hauptkapitel dieser Masterarbeit werden im nächsten Schritt angeführt. Im Kapitel „Soft Skills“ wird das Thema kritisch durchleuchtet und die wesentlichen Rollen der Eigenschaften definiert, die diesem Begriff zugeschrieben werden. Es folgen auch Verbesserungsvorschläge zu den wichtigsten Eigenschaften. Das zweite Kapitel befasst sich insbesondere mit dem Thema „Konfliktmanagement“. Dadurch soll dem Leser die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, ein klares Bild von diesem Begriff zu bekommen. Den Fragen nach der Art von möglichen Konflikten sowie deren Ursachen wird hier ebenfalls Rechnung getragen, indem konkrete Lösungsvorschläge genannt werden. Im letzten Kapitel wird der Versuch unternommen, das Thema „Konfliktmanagement“ mit dem Gesundheitswesen zu verknüpfen. Es soll gezeigt werden, zu welchen Auswirkungen und zu welchen Risiken etwaige Konflikte im Gesundheitswesen führen können. Warum gerade Mediation ein brauchbares Hilfsmittel der Soft Skills darstellt und Auswege aus dieser konfliktbeladenen Situation liefert, erfährt der Leser ebenfalls in diesem Kapitel der Masterarbeit.

Phallus about 2.5 times length of costal arm of valva, stout at base, distal 1/3 thorn-shaped; a stout process at basal 2/3 on ventral surface of phallus, column-shaped, with tiny spines at apex; cornuti consisting of four thorns about 1/4 length of phallus, three short thin spines, and one weakly sclerotized, short and stout process composed of cluster tiny spines.
Diagnosis. Cochylidia liui can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the forewing having a broad subapical fascia, the phallus having a stout column-shaped process with tiny spines at apex, and the valva nearly rectangular.
Distribution. China (Guizhou).
Etymology. This new species is named after the late Professor Youqiao Liu who was the first expert on the tortricid of China.

description: We show that widely used macroprudential regulations that rely on historical cost accounting (HCA) — to insulate banks' balance sheets from financial market volatility — significantly affect the transmission of monetary policy. Using detailed supervisory data from Italian banks, we find that HCA mutes the transmission of quantitative easing on bank lending supply, weakening the effectiveness of monetary policy in reducing firm credit constraints. We also show that a drop in the market price of HCA-valued securities is equivalent to a reduction in capital requirements, which is large and nearly identical in Italy and the US.

description: We introduce a framework for analyzing geopolitical and economic competition around the world. Geopolitical power arises from the ability to jointly exercise threats arising from separate economic activities. Being able to retaliate against a deviating country across multiple arenas, often involving indirect threats from third parties also being pressured, increases the off equilibrium threats and, thus, helps in equilibrium to alleviate incentive compatibility constraints in global trade and production. A world hegemon, like the United States, can extract the benefits arising from relaxing these constraints. We characterize strategic industries, enforcement externalities, and the increasing returns to scale in strategic sectors that lead to the emergence of hegemons. We formalize the idea of economic coercion as a combination of strategic pressure points and extraction points. We then apply the framework to make sense of both modern and historical episodes. We explore the structure of China’s Belt and Road Initiative and China’s attempts at utilizing economic power for non-economic aims, and recent attempts by western countries to introduce measures to limit this influence.

description: This paper introduces the probabilistic formulation of continuous-time economic models: forward stochastic differential equations (SDE) govern the dynamics of backward-looking variables, and backward SDEs capture that of forward-looking variables. Deep learning streamlines the search for the probabilistic solution, which is less sensitive to the “curse of dimensionality.” The paper proposes a straightforward algorithm and assesses its accuracy by considering a multiple-country model with an explicit solution under symmetric states. Combining with the finite volume method, the algorithm can obtain global dynamics of heterogeneous-agent models with aggregate shocks, in which agents consider the distribution of individual states as a state variable.

description: Trade policy is often cast as a solution to the free-riding problem in international climate agreements. This paper uncovers the extent to which trade policy can deliver on this promise. We introduce abatement technology and carbon externality into a multi-country, multi-industry quantitative trade model. Our framework accommodates a rich set of policy considerations, including firm delocation, multilateral carbon leakage, and returns to scale in production and abatement. By deriving simple analytical formulas for optimal carbon, production, and border taxes, we are able to quantify the reduction in CO2 emissions under two prominent proposals that combine carbon pricing with trade policy.

First, we show that carbon border taxes can replicate at most 1% of the CO2 reduction attainable under global climate cooperation. By comparison, Nordhaus's (2015) climate club proposal can foster global climate cooperation and reduce global CO2 emissions by up to 61%. This successful outcome hinges on both the US and EU committing to the climate club as core members, using their collective trade penalties to enforce climate cooperation by reluctant governments.

description: We evaluate the FDIC’s costs for resolving at-risk banks, as defined in Jiang et al., 2023 using the model developed in Allen et al., 2023 to determine bidder valuations of at-risk banks and simulate bidding. We show that resolution would cost the FDIC over $200 billion, if it maintained its bidder size and health restrictions, well in excess of the amount in its fund. Costs could be lowered if the FDIC relaxed these criteria and/or peeled off parts of the troubled banks. Our results illustrate that, during times of crisis, resolution costs can spiral because the set of unconstrained healthy bidders dries up.

Diagnosis. Adult (Fig. 11) with wingspan 10.0−16.0 mm. Cochylidia subroseana roseotincta is very similar to C. moguntiana (Rössler, 1864), but C. subroseana roseotincta can be distinguished by the forewing with an inconspicuous subapical fascia, the socius separated from the base to the apex, and the ventral margin of the valva almost straight in the male genitalia (Fig. 20); and the corpus bursae about two times the length of the ductus bursae in the female genitalia (Fig. 26). In C. moguntiana the subapical fascia is conspicuous, the socius is coalescent basally and separated distally, and the valva is concave inward on the ventral margin in the male genitalia; the corpus bursae is slightly shorter than the ductus bursae in the female genitalia.
Distribution. China (Anhui, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hunan, Jilin, Shanxi, Tianjin), Korea, Japan, Russia, Europe.
Hostplants. Solidago sp. (Razowski 1970).

description: The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) has been used to assess the probability of arbitrarily applicable relational responding or as an indirect measure of implicit attitudes. To date, IRAP effects have commonly been quantified using the DIRAP scoring algorithm, which was derived from Greenwald, Nosek and Banaji’s (2003) D effect size measure. In the article, we highlight the difference between an effect size measure and a scoring algorithm, discuss the drawbacks associated with D, and propose an alternative: a probabilistic, semiparametric measure referred to as the Probabilistic Index (Thas, De Neve, Clement, & Ottoy, 2012). Using a relatively large IRAP dataset, we demonstrate how the PI is more robust to the influence of outliers and skew (which are typical of reaction time data), and improves internal consistency. Finally, we conclude that PI models, in addition to producing point estimate scores, can also provide confidence intervals, significance tests, and afford the possibility to include covariates, all of which may aid single subject design studies.

description: A fully relativistic three-dimensional Cauchy-characteristic matching (CCM) algorithm is implemented for physical degrees of freedom in a numerical relativity code SpECTRE. The method is free of approximations and can be applied to any physical system. We test the algorithm with various scenarios involving smooth data, including the propagation of Teukolsky waves within a flat background, the perturbation of a Kerr black hole with a Teukolsky wave, and the injection of a gravitational-wave pulse from the characteristic grid. Our investigations reveal no numerical instabilities in the simulations. In addition, the tests indicate that the CCM algorithm effectively directs characteristic information into the inner Cauchy system, yielding higher precision in waveforms and smaller violations of Bondi-gauge constraints, especially when the outer boundary of the Cauchy evolution is at a smaller radius.
