description: This dissertation empirically explores changes in the economic behavior of households and firms in the Vietnamese economy after the Doi Moi reforms. First, this research analyzes food expenditure patterns of households in Vietnam from 1993 to 2006 and estimates their income and price elasticities. Unlike previous studies, the paper estimates a complete demand system using the censored Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System to control for zero expenditures in some categories. The results suggest that food expenditure patterns are quite consistent although there are some shifts in food consumption overtime to more healthy bundles. The paper shows that the expenditure elasticity for the rice and cereal group decreases overtime. A one percent increase in income increases consumption within this group by 0.70 percent in 1993 but only 0.48 percent in 2006 while a rise of one percent in prices reduces rice consumption by 0.88 percent in 1993 and 0.96 percent in 2006. The second paper explores the link between household migration on household food security and nutrition using a panel data of households in 2004 and 2006. The paper finds that short-term migration has a positive impact on nutrition through increased per adult equivalent food expenditures, greater calories per adult equivalent consumed, and a more diversified diet. Short-term migration is found to be linked to shocks faced by the household suggesting that households are using short-term migration to maintain food security in the face of uncertainty. The third paper aims to advance our understanding of wage and productivity differentials between male and female workers in Vietnam. The paper also examines the factors influencing a firm's decision to hire female labor. We find no evidence of wage discrimination based on an analysis of the gender gap in wages and the gender gap in productivity. Our estimates instead suggest that on average female wages are 81 percent of male wages, while female productivity is only 41 percent of male productivity. This suggests that women receive a subsidy. This wage premium seems to be higher in state-owned enterprises. We also find that in state-owned enterprises unskilled workers seem to enjoy additional benefits or compensation (wage premium) compared to workers in the in private sector. Moreover, our analysis of female participation in firms indicates that the size of the firm and the sector in which a firm belongs to are statistically significant across models and seem to have a large impact on female employment. Firms that have a larger percentage of export sales are found to be more likely to employ women, while those firms that face corruption and stability constraints employ fewer women.

description: Why are people so often overconfident? We conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis that people become overconfident to more effectively persuade or deceive others. After performing a cognitively challenging task, half of our subjects are informed that they can earn money by convincing others of their superior performance. The privately elicited beliefs of informed subjects are significantly more confident than the beliefs of subjects in the control condition. By generating exogenous variation in confidence with a noisy performance signal, we are also able to show that higher confidence indeed makes subjects more persuasive in the subsequent face-to-face interactions.

description: We show that every sequential screening model is equivalent to a standard text book static screening model. We use this result and apply well-established techniques from static screening  to obtain solutions for classes of sequential screening models for which standard sequential screening techniques are not applicable. Moreover, we identify the counterparts of well-understood features of the static screening model in the corresponding sequential screening model such as the single-crossing condition and conditions that imply the optimality of deterministic schedules.

description: This dissertation examines the decision and policy-making processes that led to the implementation of Vietnamization in Richard Nixon's first presidential term. By addressing interdisciplinary scholarly issues that stand at the forefront of academic and historiographical debate, this study, using Vietnamization as a catalyst, carefully reviews the principles behind the policy, the role of each decision maker, the timing of the decision, the process that led to Vietnamization's implementation, and the impact of the policy on the 1968 and 1972 U.S. presidential elections. This dissertation concludes that Vietnamization was a political decision. It was born in the campaign of 1968; was largely formulated by politicians; was actuated by intense domestic pressure; failed to endorse military considerations; was decided within an isolated, domestic, politically influenced decision-making structure; was utilized as a forward-looking political tool aimed at augmenting public opinion; and was arguably as important as any other factor in ensuring Nixon's reelection in 1972.

description: Interactions between players with private information and opposed interests are often prone to bad advice and inefficient outcomes, e.g. markets for financial or health care services. In a deception game we investigate experimentally which factors could improve advice quality. Besides advisor competition and identifiability we add the possibility for clients to make a voluntary payment, a bonus, after observing advice quality. We observe a positive effect on the rate of truthful advice when the bonus creates multiple opportunities to reciprocate, that is, when the bonus is combined with identifiability (leading to several client-advisor interactions over the course of the game) or competition (allowing one advisor to have several clients who may reciprocate within one period).

description: We consider a budget-constrained mechanism designer who selects an optimal set of projects to maximize her utility. Projects may differ in their value for the designer, and their cost is private information. In this allocation problem, the quantity of procured projects is endogenously determined by the mechanism. The designer faces ex-post constraints: The participation and budget constraints must hold for each possible outcome, while the mechanism must be strategyproof. We identify settings in which the class of optimal mechanisms has a deferred acceptance auction representation which allows an implementation with a descending-clock auction. Only in the case of symmetric projects do price clocks descend synchronously such that the cheapest projects are implemented. The case in which values or costs are asymmetrically distributed features a novel tradeoff between quantity and quality. The reason is that guaranteeing allocation to the most favorable projects under strategyproofness comes at the cost of a diminished expected number of conducted projects.

description: We show that the excessive use of hidden orders causes artificial price pressures and abnormal asset returns. Using a simple game-theoretical setting, we demonstrate that this effect naturally arises from mis-coordination in trading schedules between traders, when suppliers of liquidity do not sufficiently disclose their trade intentions. As a result, hidden liquidity can increase trading costs and induce excess price fluctuations unrelated to information. Using NASDAQ order book data, we find strong empirical support and illustrate that hidden liquidity is higher if bid-ask spreads are smaller and relative tick sizes are higher.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der rechtlichen Kopplung von Autor und Text und den sich daraus ergebenden Reibungsflächen im digitalen Zeitalter. Dafür wird in einem ersten Schritt die historische Herausbildung des Urheberrechts und des Autorenbegriffes beleuchtet, um in einem zweiten Schritt die sich daraus ergebenden Probleme im Netz aufzuzeigen. Ausgegangen wird hierbei von Theorien aus dem Bereich der Intertextualität und der Postmoderne, die bereits im 20. Jahrhundert die Trennung von Autor und Werk verlangten. Daran anschließend wird die Mediendebatte rund um das Urheberrecht beleuchtet und die sich daraus ergebenden Probleme für die Netzkultur. Anhand der Buchprojekte „Eine neue Version ist verfügbar“ von Dirk von Gehlen“ und „The Art of Asking“ von Amanda Palmer wird aufgezeigt, wie sich die starren Definition von „Autor“ und „Werk“ verändern. Welche Probleme sich durch die Veränderung dieser Begrifflichkeiten ergeben, wird anhand des Beispiels „Remix“ erarbeitet. Hierbei wird konkret aufgezeigt, welche Reibungsflächen sich mit dem bestehenden Urheberrecht ergeben. Am Ende werden verschiedene Reformideen für das Urheberrecht aufgezeigt und ein Einblick in das Projekt „Creative Commons“, als positives Beispiel für eine Form der rechtlichen Gestaltung, gegeben.

Investigating the determinants of police corruption in three Caribbean nations
Creators: name: Pfaff, Debora Jill
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Police scholars attribute the presence of police corruption to a variety of factors including individual characteristics, organizational correlates, and systemic conditions. Most research investigating the determinants of police corruption focuses upon urban police agencies in developed nations, primarily the United States. Only recently has attention turned to less developed nations. In addition, current research addresses only the Rotten Apple and Rotten Barrel hypotheses; none have tested the Rotten Orchard hypothesis of police corruption comparatively. This study reports the findings of research on police perceptions of corruption in three developing Caribbean nations. A conceptual model is created based upon current developed nation literature specifying the relationships between individual and organizational factors and police corruption as measured through a self-administered survey. The comparison is made among three divergent nations, and thus a third level of analysis is included: governmental corruption. The findings suggest determinants of police corruption are similar in some respects and different in others between developing and developed nations.

description: We assess the motive and effectiveness of foreign exchange intervention in stabilizing exchange rate in Indonesia. High volatility of exchange rate and capital flows since the global crises have forced central banks to complement its interest rate response with foreign exchange intervention in managing domestic objectives of inflation and economic growth. Using Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Generalized Autoregressive Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models with monthly data from January 2004 to December 2018, we find that the motive of managing volatility of exchange rate is more visible than of managing the exchange rate changes and its misalignment to its fundamental level. We also find that foreign exchange rate intervention has been effective in Indonesia for managing exchange rate in both volatility and its misalignment to the fundamental levels. The results of this paper provide evidences of the efficacy of foreign exchange intervention in dealing with monetary policy trilemma in small-open economy.

description: Die Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Schauspieler Heinrich George und dessen politische Verstrickung im NS-Staat. Seine Rolle im NS-Kulturbetrieb wird anhand verschiedener Quellen analysiert. Ziel war es ein kritischeres Licht auf die Verantwortung Heinrich Georges bezüglich seines Verhaltens im NS-Staat zu werfen. Darüber hinaus wurden drei Propagandafilme der NS-Zeit analysiert und auch spezifisch auf die Rolle Heinrich Georges in diesen Filmen eingegangen. Der Bogen in die Gegenwart wird durch den Fernsehfilm George aus dem Jahr 2013 gespannt. Anhand dieses Films wurde die nach wie vor unkritische Darstellung des Schauspielers und der Umgang der Nachfahren Georges mit dessen Stellung im NS-Staat gezeigt.

description: A central distinction of 1996's welfare reform is that the federal government devolved authority to the states to design their own Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) programs. The current study explores the states' discretionary TANF programs, in terms of their effects on family well-being, as well as the political factors influencing the generosity of benefits. Due to its effects on increasing single mothers working. TANF may be related to dysfunctional behaviors among recipients' adolescent children (Dishion and Patterson, 2006; Duncan and Chase-Lansdale, 2004). Another perspective on the relationship between TANF and dysfunctional behaviors is rooted in Piven and Cloward (1993)'s social control perspective. They argue that minority dysfunctional behaviors explain variations in welfare generosity, dependent upon contextual factors. To test the interplay between TANF and dysfunctional behaviors, I conduct MSA- and state-level analyses. The MSA-level analysis tests the relationship between TANF and adolescent dysfunctional behaviors, defined as delinquency and teen pregnancy, across 59 MSAs in the U.S. from 1999 through 2006, using a negative binomial regression with fixed effects. This analysis tests the effects of TANF on adolescents, through increases in single mothers working. Secondly, this analysis tests a direct relationship between TANF family support programs and reductions in adolescent dysfunctional behaviors. The state-level analysis tests the relationship between dysfunctional behaviors, defined as minority, violent criminal arrests, and welfare benefit levels. This analysis includes data from the 50 U.S. States from 1996 through 2006 and employs a fixed effects OLS regression with panel-corrected standard errors, as well as a difference-in-difference estimation procedure. The results of these investigations are mixed. The MSA-level analyses suggest that adolescent dysfunctional behaviors are unrelated to the TANF effects on single mothers working. The analysis finds that TANF support programs are directly related to reductions in dysfunctional behaviors, but the small effect size and measurement errors limit substantive conclusions. In both state-level analyses, the results substantiate Piven and Cloward's theory. The findings suggest that dysfunctional behaviors among minorities account for variations in welfare generosity in the U.S. from 1996 through 2006, with the direction of that influence contingent upon political and demographic factors.

Exchange rate change, the trade balance and output growth in developing countries: Evidence from the CFA Franc Zone
Creators: name: Boumbouya, Raymond K.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation is an empirical study of the effects of exchange rate changes on economic activities in the CFA Franc Zone. Specifically, this study uses three econometric methodologies to investigate the responses of the trade balance and output to changes in the exchange rate in the CFA Franc Zone over the period 1980-2005. First, we use a generalized impulse response function (GIRF) to estimate the effect of exchange rate depreciation on the trade balance of Cote d'Ivoire. Second, a dynamic panel approach is used to estimate the effects of exchange rate changes on the trade balance of thirteen countries of the CFA Franc Zone. Third, a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model is employed to estimate the response of output to a shock to the real exchange rate in Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Senegal and Gabon. The main results show that exchange rate has minimal effects on the trade balance of the CFA Franc when we estimate the whole sample. When we disaggregate the data by region, it is only then the trade balance appears to be sensitive to exchange rate change; a case where the trade balance of the WAEMU region tends to be more sensitive than that of the CEMAC region. The results also show that the trade balance of Cote d'Ivoire describes a delayed J-curve, one that is inconsistent with the classic J-curve phenomenon. Finally, output in Cameroon and Gabon shows a significant contemporaneous decline while it does not significantly respond to a shock to the real exchange rate in Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal, thus providing support to the views that the effects of exchange rate on output in developing countries may be negative in the short run while neutral in the long run. The study also focuses on the reasons for the short run decline and the overall insensitivity. These findings suggest that policymakers of the CFA Franc Zone should be cautious about using exchange rate policy as a recovery effort, and that alternative policies may be sought for their growth agenda.

title: Disneys Zeichentrickwerke nach 1990 in der visuellen Kulturgeschichte
Creators: name: Förster, Bettina
Year: 2014

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellungsform von Disneys Zeichentrickwerken ab den 1990er Jahren aus dem Blickwinkel der Visuellen Kulturgeschichte. Dabei wird der Schwerpunkt auf die Fragestellung nach einer möglichen Mehrfachadressierung der Zeichentrickproduktionen gestellt, welche auf soziokulturell und historisch codierte Visualisierungselemente und polyseme, doppelsinnige Sendungsebenen basiert. Die Untersuchung der ausgewählten Filme konzentriert sich auf die unterschiedliche Lesart von kindlichen und erwachsenen ZuseherInnen und deren Verarbeitung in Hinblick auf die zumeist als „harmlos“ klassifizierte Darstellungsform. Hierbei soll herausgefunden werden, inwieweit Disneys Zeichentrickfilme dominante und tradierte Ideologien, stereotypisierte Geschlechter-, Race-, Klassen-, und Rollenbilder vermitteln und infolge dessen Othering, Diskriminierung, Rassismus, Subjektivierung, Klischeebildung und eine Dominanz des konservativen amerikanischen Werte-, und Weltbildes produzieren, u.a durch die diese Prozesse begünstigende stets verhandelte und forcierte Dichotomie Darstellung gut/böse, schwarz/weiß Zeichnung, Ost/West, privilegiert/unterlegen, alt/jung, schön/hässlich uvm, welche eminent Ausgrenzung intensivieren. Es wurde ergründet, dass seit der explizierten Vermarktung als „Family Entertainment“ Filme Disney zunehmend durch die dem erwachsenen Rezipienten angepasste ironisierte Sprachkomik, Musik, ausgeweiteten Stoffwahl, sowie die soziokulturellen, intermedialen, intertextuellen und politischen Versatzstücke, eine verstärkt majorenne Adressierung angestrebt, als auch tatsächlich erzielt wird. In der Arbeit wurde die Darlegung der, in Hinblick auf die Tradierung diverser ausgrenzender Stereotypen, als problematisch zu beurteilenden Rezeptionsprozesse der kindlichen ZuseherInnen durch die forcierte wirkungsästhetische Konzeptionen, versucht. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht weiters eine kritische Reflexionshaltung anzuregen.

description: The current study examined the effects of chronic stress and a genetic risk score on the presence of hypertension and elevated systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure among Hispanics/Latinos in the target population of Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Of the participants (N = 11,623) assessed during two clinic visits (Visit 1 2008–2013 & Visit 2 2014–2018), we analysed data from 7,429 adults (50.4% female), aged 18–74, who were genotyped and responded to chronic stress questionnaires. We calculated an unweighted genetic risk score using blood pressure increasing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found to be generalisable to Hispanics/Latinos (10 SNPs). Linear and logistic regression models were used to estimate associations between chronic stress and genetic risk score and their interaction, with prevalent Visit 2 SBP or DBP, and hypertension, respectively. Models accounted for sampling weights, stratification, and cluster design. Chronic stress (adjusted OR = 1.18, 95%CI:1.15,1.22) and hypertension genetic risk score (adjusted OR = 1.04, 95%CI:1.01,1.07) were significantly associated with prevalent hypertension, but there was no significant interaction between the chronic stress and genetic risk score on hypertension (p = .49). genetic risk score (b = .32, 95%CI:.08, .55, R2 = .02) and chronic stress (b = .45, 95%CI:.19, .72, R2 = .11) were related to DBP, with no significant interaction (p = .62). Genetic risk score (b = .42, 95%CI:.08, .76, R2 = .01) and chronic stress (b = .80, 95%CI:.34,1.26, R2 = .11) were also related to SBP, with no significant interaction (p = .51). Results demonstrate the utility of a genetic risk score for blood pressure and are consistent with literature suggesting chronic stress has a strong, direct association with elevated blood pressure among U.S. Hispanics/Latinos.
