Essays in Behavioural Macroeconomics
Creators: name: Ravgotra, Sahil
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation consists of three chapters, each delving into various extensions of the New Keynesian model. The first chapter introduces a modification of the New Keynesian model to incorporate habit persistence and finite planning horizons, inspired by the work of Woodford (2019). This model, termed the Habit Persistence and Finite Horizon New Keynesian (HFNK) model, is shown to be empirically more robust and useful for monetary policy considerations than its standard, myopic, or finite-horizon counterparts. Our model reveals that planning horizons for households and firms are longer than typically suggested in the literature, under two years. The forecasting power of our model is found to outperform professional forecasts, particularly for output, showcasing its potential for real-world applications.

description: The second chapter expands upon the open economy New Keynesian model, incorporating agents with bounded rationality following \cite{G2020}. This development successfully addresses several puzzles related to the relationship between exchange rates and interest rates. It is found that employing actual exchange rate expectations, rather than rational ones, can make the uncovered interest parity (UIP) puzzles disappear. The model demonstrates that bounded rationality lessens the impacts of current monetary shocks and reduces the efficacy of forward guidance, particularly in more open economies. It also suggests that bounded rationality can enhance monetary spillovers, extend the persistence of the real exchange rate and net foreign assets, and exacerbate the unit root problem in small open economies.

description: The final chapter continues the exploration of bounded rationality within the open economy New Keynesian framework, offering a more behaviourally focused approach. This model again proves successful in addressing puzzling exchange rate and interest rate dynamics, and supports the idea of using actual, rather than rational, exchange rate expectations. This extension also brings into question the desirability of using the exchange rate as a nominal anchor in the context of optimal monetary policy. Interestingly, a welfare analysis conducted within this framework suggests that when agents fully and correctly anticipate the future, it results in more significant welfare losses than when they behave in a more adaptive and less fully informed manner. This counter-intuitive finding opens the door for further investigation into the role of behavioural factors in economic modelling.

Advances in genetic biocontrol: heritable vertebrate sex reversal and efficient base editors

description: Genetic biocontrol is a method of pest control where genetically modified organisms are released into the environment to reduce the harm caused by a pest population. The modifications are typically intended to reduce the population’s reproductive capacity, but they could also spread disease refractoriness, sensitivity to pesticides, or other alleles that reduce pest damage. Transgenic expression of genome modifying enzymes can enhance the spread of alleles for population suppression or modification. Owing to recent advances in genome engineering, enzymes can now be programmed to efficiently edit specific genomic loci. This thesis documents using CRISPR/Cas9 and cytosine base editors (CBEs) to create genetic biocontrol systems which distort sex ratios towards males.One of the most powerful methods for biasing the sex ratio of a population towards males is heritable sex reversal. As well as being used as a genetic biocontrol, female-to-male sex reversal could also facilitate generating all-male cultures for the commercially important Nile tilapia. In the model species, zebrafish, Danio rerio, we employed CRISPR/Cas9 to inactivate fancl, which conferred the super-Mendelian inheritance of alleles that cause sex reversal. To determine the extent of the sex reversal we compared the male bias in the transgenic offspring to the nontransgenic. In the F2 generation there was a clear bias towards males, a bias that was also seen in the earlier F1 generation. Genotyping of both the F1 generation and their F2 progeny showed that there was moderate germline editing, suggesting that extensive germline editing isn’t required for this method of sex reversal.In a separate study, we characterised highly efficient CBEs through genetically modifying the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to express six types of CBE. We used two promoters, a germline-specific nos promoter, and a ubiquitous actin promoter to each drive the expression of three types of cytidine deaminase. We assessed base editing efficiency by targeting the ebony gene, where germline transmission of a nonsense mutation would produce F2 ebony progeny. To optimise editing conditions, we compared both maternal and paternal transmission of the base editor at the F0 stage, along with maternal and paternal transmission at the F1 stage. The F2 offspring for each condition were assessed phenotypically and genotyped by Amp-seq.For all three actin-expressed base editors there was > 99% editing, with lower efficiency seen for nos-expressed base editors. The highest efficiency was seen for the actin-expressed AID deaminase, where > 99.5% editing efficiency was seen for all different pathways of transmission. Using this base editor, we attempted to create dominant female sterile mutations in the Easter gene, however we didn’t observe female sterility.

description: The paper examines the applicability of two different modelling techniques: CBSEM and PLS on the data set collected to investigate small and medium sized firm growth in the ICT industry in Australia and Hungary. The two analytical techniques are evaluated based on the research objectives and the conceptual model proposed by the authors. The data is tested for basic assumptions of CFA and CBSEM, as well as PLS. The results of CFA are discussed and the reliability indicators of the scales are presented. In reflection to the findings, PLS is the recommended technique for further analysis.

The relationship between leisure and mental wellbeing in middle-aged women who care for more than 20 hours per week : a secondary analysis using data from a national survey.
Creators: name: Clarke, Angela
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Background: Research has found that carers have limited leisure engagement compared with non-carers and they have reduced mental wellbeing. Middle aged women who are intensive carers (>20 hours a week) are at particular risk and were therefore the focus for this study. Objectives: The cross-sectional part of this study aimed to explore whether there was an association between leisure time satisfaction, variety, sporting engagement and frequency of leisure with carer wellbeing. The longitudinal part of this study aimed to explore whether becoming an intensive carer was associated with reduced leisure engagement and reduced wellbeing. Further, whether leisure engagement predicts wellbeing. Method: This study used data from a national UK study (UKLHS) that stratified sampling across the country. Data was collected annually and waves two and five were used for this study as they included a module about leisure and culture. Wellbeing was assessed through the GHQ-12. Secondary analysis of this data included general linear modelling and chi square. Results: Generally, cross sectional hypotheses were supported although frequency of leisure engagement was less relevant for wellbeing than variety and satisfaction (the latter of which explained 12% of the variance). Individuals who did sport had better wellbeing than those who did not. Individuals who became carers did not reduce their leisure engagement more than non-carers. Change in satisfaction and variety predicted change in wellbeing but change in frequency did not. Unexpectedly, individuals who were not carers at wave two, but were at wave five had poorer wellbeing at both time points compared to the non-carers. Conclusions: Leisure is a key contributor to emotional wellbeing, in particular, carer’s satisfaction with the amount of leisure time they have and whether they engage in physical activities. This has important implications for services that work with carers at a local level, and at a policy level.

description: In 1954, a United States assisted coup ousted the freely elected Jacobo Arbenz Guatemalan government. The Eisenhower administration took action because it believed the Guatemalan government was influenced by a communist movement directed from Moscow. Eisenhower's "New Look" foreign policy, a continuation of the containment theory, utilized and revitalized the inner core of the Executive Branch to achieve its objective of eliminating the communist menace emanating from Guatemala. The strategy that supported Eisenhower's policy was successful largely due to conducive political and public opinion in the United States and instability within Guatemala. The "New Look" strategy incorporated use of diplomatic maneuvering, regional support, and covert operations, including psychological warfare. By combining these elements, the "New Look" became the foundation for United States Cold War policy and strategy during the Eisenhower period.

description: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a combination of information and communication technologies used in transportation systems to improve efficiency and safety for transport users. It also encompasses the growing field of connected and autonomous vehicles that is expected to have significant benefits for the economy and overall safety of travel. Two of the main challenges within ITS are managing the scalability of large networks, and securing communication between ITS entities, especially given that entities may be malicious and need to be revoked. To address security and privacy concerns within ITS, public key infrastructure (PKI) has been deployed in vehicular communication architectures. Such architectures detail how entities (vehicles, road-side units, etc.) communicate with each other and how their credentials need to be revoked when they become malicious so that they cannot continue to communicate with other entities. This thesis covers both analysis of protocols within existing architectures and also proposes new architectures. Our work contributes to the analysis of existing architectures for revocation. We present a symbolic analysis of existing REWIRE protocols using the Tamarin Prover, and show that not all their desired security goals are met. We propose a new variant of REWIRE called O-Token which addresses the required properties based on vehicular public key infrastructure. Vehicular communication architectures are becoming more heterogeneous and therefore there is active research in identifying how vehicles can themselves become a root of trust for supporting secure communications in ITS. We present a new vehicular communication architecture, based on trusted computing, which removes the need for additional PKI infrastructure within an ITS. It enables secure operations to be performed within vehicles without relying on constant message exchange with infrastructure. The novelty of our architecture is the use of Direct Anonymous Attestation to manage the security and privacy of entities, to improve the scalability and revocation in large networks. Furthermore, the architecture is resilient to colluding trusted third party infrastructure. Our final contribution is an analysis of one variant of Direct Anonymous Attestation, ECC-DAA, based on the ISO/IEC 20008-2:2013 standard. We evaluate whether it provides the security and privacy guarantees needed in order for it to be a central technique within our scalable vehicular communication architecture. Our symbolic analysis of an ECC-DAA specification using the Tamarin Prover identifies an attack which exploits a single compromised trusted platform module to undermine other uncompromised ones. We propose a solution and demonstrate the revised specification ensures the protocol's robustness.

Exploring the experience of academic staff working in Higher Education during COVID-19

Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide since it was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. In an attempt to reduce the spread of the disease within the UK, social distancing and country-wide lockdowns were introduced; and non-essential staff, including the majority of higher education (HE) staff, were required to quickly adapt the way they worked in order to continue offering education for their students. Whilst the impact of COVID-19 on UK HE students has been well researched and documented, the impact on HE staff – a population already in political turmoil and known to be associated with poor mental health – remains comparatively under-researched. This paper therefore explores HE staff’s experience of working through the COVID-19 pandemic; specifically staff’s experience of remote working, the impact on their mental well-being, and their experiences around the support offered by their institutions. Ten HE staff members were interviewed. Through thematic analysis three key themes emerged; overwhelming workload, frustration with employing institution, and loss of connection. This analysis concludes that pre-existing difficulties within the sector have been further exacerbated by the pandemic, and new challenges – such as poor inter-personal relationships between colleagues and lack of trust in university well-being schemes – have resulted in a seriously damaging impact on the psychological well-being of HE staff. The findings suggest that Universities should re-visit how they are supporting their staff’s wellbeing in the context of significant unrest within the sector, and consider tackling the cause of difficulties being reported rather than focussing on mitigating the symptoms. Limitations and avenues for potential future research are discussed.

description: Die asiatische Finanzkrise hat am Ende des letzten Jahrtausends die Philippinen hart getroffen. Im Gegensatz zu den Ökonomien anderer südostasiatischer Staaten, wie Thailand oder Singapur, hat sich die philippinische Ökonomie wesentlich langsamer erholen können. Sicherlich ist ein Grund dafür, dass die Philippinen durch die Gleichzeitigkeit des Klimaphänomens El Nino und den damit verbundenen Ernteausfällen mehrfach belastet waren. Während die allgemeine Wirtschaftsleistung und vor allem der Immobilienmarkt teilweise gravierende Einbußen hinnehmen mussten, scheint die Asienkrise auf die rasant zunehmende Verbreitung von großflächigen Einkaufszentren in den Philippinen keinen negativen Einfluss gehabt zu haben.

description: Die Philippinen standen nicht im Zentrum der Asienkrise. Dennoch spürte das Land ihre Auswirkungen an verschiedenen Fronten. Obwohl alle betroffenen Länder gleichermaßen unter den sozialen und ökonomischen Folgen zu leiden hatten, scheinen die Philippinen eines der Länder zu sein, die auf lange Sicht ernster betroffen waren und die negativen Auswirkungen heute noch spüren. Ohne einen ausreichenden Puffer an natürlichen Ressourcen, Einnahmen, sozialer Infrastruktur und einer fehlenden ökonomischen Basis mussten die vielen Kleinverdiener die Last der Krise tragen, die Arbeitslosigkeit verschlimmerte sich und die Armut wuchs.

Dealing with heterogeneity in entrepreneurship research
Creators: name: Davidsson, Per
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It has been argued that entrepreneurship research has not 'come far enough, fast enough' (Low, 2001). Although the volume of research has grown dramatically, as has the number of specific subtopics covered, there are relatively few issues on which the entrepreneurship research community has arrived at a consensus. Arguably, one factor that hampers knowledge development in entrepreneurship is the heterogeneity of the phenomenon. Business ventures are started by individuals and teams with very different backgrounds and motivations, pursuing business ideas of very variable inherent quality in environments that also show tremendous variability. As a result it is difficult to arrive at broadly valid generalizations, and studies that include all the variance at once risk arriving at nothing but weak results and increased bewilderment. This paper discusses strategies for dealing with the entrepreneurship phenomenon's inherent heterogeneity in research design, sampling, operationalization and analysis, so that individual studies can contribute to knowledge accumulation rather than to increased confusion. Specific instances of exemplary, published works that have employed these strategies are discussed throughout the paper.

The experiences of men providing informal care to a relative with a long-term physical health condition.
Creators: name: Jagdev, Amit
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Background and Objectives: In recent years there has been a growing interest in understanding caregiver experiences within a positive psychology framework, however several issues have impacted on the development of literature in this area. These include a lack of theory from which to understand positive aspects of caregiving, and a difficulty in operationalising positive aspects of caregiving. Furthermore, despite acknowledgement that subgroups of caregivers experience positive aspects of caregiving in different ways, there has been very little research into the experiences of male caregivers. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate how male caregivers describe their experiences of caregiving using qualitative methods to help corroborate or develop existing literature around positive aspects of caregiving. Research Design and Methods: 6 male caregivers from the south-east of England were interviewed about their caregiving experiences using qualitative research methods. Data was transcribed and analysed by the researcher using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The analysis revealed 3 themes around the caregiver experience: experiencing losses and frustrations from caring for a loved one, finding ways to hold on to a sense of self, and experiencing caregiving as bringing one closer to one’s values. The concepts of value and identity were identified within each of these themes. Discussion and Implications: Results are discussed in the context of Breakwell’s identity process theory. In particular, it is noted that caregiver experiences relate to how much caregiving allows one to be true to one’s identity. Homogeneity of the sample is discussed as a limitation. Further research is suggested to explore how values and identity relate to caregiver well-being. Keywords: caregiver, identity, positive, theory

description: Community empowerment can be a powerful determinant of HIV risk among sex workers (SWs). This study modeled the impact of social cohesion on client condom refusal among SWs in Vancouver. Longitudinal data were drawn from a prospective cohort of SWs (2010–2013). Lippman and colleagues’ Social Cohesion Scale measured SWs’ connectedness (i.e., perception of mutual aid, trust, support). Multivariable logistic regression examined the independent effect of social cohesion on client condom refusal. Of 654 SWs, 22 % reported baseline client condom refusal and 34 % over 3 years. The baseline median social cohesion score was 24 (IQR 20–29, range 4–45). In the final confounding model, for every one-point increase in the social cohesion score, average odds of condom refusal decreased by 3 % (AOR 0.97; 95 % CI 0.95–0.99). Community empowerment can have a direct protective effect on HIV risk. These findings highlight the need for a legal framework that enables collectivization and SW-led efforts in the HIV response.

description: The objective of machine-based binaural sound source localisation is to estimate the position of sound sources as accurately as possible from a binaural sound signal. A subset of machine-based binaural sound source localisation methods utilise the listener’s measured head related transfer function (HRTF) dataset. These HRTF-based binaural sound source localisation methods provide opportunities for audio augmented reality and may also provide head mounted visualisations for the hard of hearing. In their original publications, the majority of HRTF-based binaural sound source localisation methods have been tested by synthetically generating their test data and training data using the exact same HRTF dataset. It has been shown that these methods are using the unique measurement noise present in the HRTFs in the dataset as a cue for localisation. This would not occur in a real life setting. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation methodology is used in this thesis. The evaluation methodology is designed to test the methods’ robustness to different sources of noise associated with HRTF-based binaural sound source localisation.
description: A HRTF-based binaural sound source localisation method is proposed that uses interaural and spectral features for localisation of sound sources with any direction of arrival (DOA) on the full-sphere. The method is designed to be robust to the presence of reverberation, additive noise and different types of sounds. The method uses the interaural phase difference (IPD) for lateral angle localisation, then interaural and spectral features for polar angle localisation. For polar angle estimation, the method applies a different weighting to the likelihood distributions derived from the interaural and spectral features depending on the estimated lateral angle. In particular, only the spectral features are used for sound sources near or on the median plane. The proposed method outperforms the state of the art HRTF-based binaural sound source localisation methods in challenging testing conditions with the presence of measurement noise and reverberation.

Subjects: Instructional leadership competency, principals, effective management of secondary school.

description: This study determined the principals’ instructional leadership competency and effective management of secondary schools in Anambra State. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. Related literature pertinent to the study were reviewed which exposed the need for the study. Correlational research design was adopted using a population of all the 263 principals of public secondary schools in the area of the study. The entire population was used as the sample size since the population is a manageable size and the respondents were adequately reached. The instrument for data collection was researcher’s structured questionnaire. Cronbach Alpha method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument. The overall reliability indexes obtained were 0.81, 0.79 and 0.83. Data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation to answer the research questions and to test the null hypotheses at .05 level of significant. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data collected. The results showed that there is an average positive relationship between principals’ instructional leadership competency (monitoring of instruction and promotion of professional development) and effective management of secondary schools in Anambra State. The results also showed that there is a significant relationship between principals’ instructional leadership competency (monitoring of instruction and promotion of professional development) and effective management of secondary schools. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that principals should always have routine instructional supervision taking into cognizance the effective classroom management strategies, lesson preparation and delivery as well as class interaction
G8-Interview: Stimme aus dem Süden – Wie ein philippinischer Aktivist die Proteste gegen den Gipfel erlebt hat

description: In der Vorbereitung auf die Proteste gegen den G8-Gipfel in Heiligendamm Anfang Juni 2007 war noch viel davon die Rede, dass solche Gipfel illegitim seien, weil sie Beschlüsse auf Kosten vieler Menschen und Länder im globalen Süden treffen. Die Proteste, die zu einem großen Teil in Rostock stattfanden, waren dann jedoch von innenpolitischen Themen überschattet: Den Razzien im Mai gegen linke Kulturzentren, der Straßenschlacht am Rande der Großdemonstration vom 2. Juni, den Lügen der Polizeipressestelle. Internationalistische Themen sind in den Hintergrund gerückt.

description: Präsidentin Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo zeichnet ein rosarotes Bild von der wirtschaftlichen Lage im Land. Ende August 2007 stellte sie eine Vierteljahresbilanz vor und brüstete sich damit, dass das Wirtschaftswachstum dieses Jahr mit 7,5 Prozent um zwei Prozent über dem des Vergleichsquartals im letzten Jahr liege, »das größte Wachstum seit zwei Jahrzehnten«(PDI, 30.8.2007).

description: Seit ein paar Jahren wird soziale Unsicherheit, auch Prekarisierung wieder zu einem Thema in den Ländern des globalen Nordens. Sowohl ein Blick zurück in der Geschichte als auch ein Blick über die Mauern der Festung Europa hinaus macht allerdings deutlich, dass es zutreffender wäre, von einer »Normalität der Prekarität« (Gruppe Blauer Montag) zu sprechen. Heute gilt für immer mehr Menschen und Gruppen in Europa wieder das, was für die meisten, insbesondere Migrant/innen und Menschen im globalen Süden seit jeher Alltag war und ist: In den Ländern des Südens war – mit Ausnahme der ostasiatischen und lateinamerikanischen Industrienationen – informelle, ungeschützte Arbeit ohne sozialstaatliche Strukturen das Normalarbeitsverhältnis.

Metabolic analysis of solventogenic clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 (HMT).

description: The market for solvent production is predicted to reach $43.4 billion in 2018, with n-butanol having over 20% market share value where n-Butanol is the chemical precursor of several industrially important products, such as butyl-acetate, butyl-acrylate, glycol-ethers, and plasticisers. Butanol is currently produced from crude oil, and therefore in light of dwindling fossil fuel reserves, and more importantly, the need for green and clean production processes, synthesis of bio-butanol from biomass using Clostridia represents a viable and desirable alternative method. This project focuses on the metabolic and physiologic characterisation of the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) producing species Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum (Csb). A minimal medium for Csb was defined based on literature data, modified by the addition of glutamate to support growth. Interestingly, batch cultures using this medium showed that Csb was able to grow and produce butanol under aerobic conditions, with titres of approximately 74% of those observed under anaerobic conditions. Steady state cultures in chemostats are essential to elucidate and characterise physiological features of microorganisms. Steady state cultures of Csb were used to determine the effect of acid production on solventogenesis, bacterial growth, and energy metabolism. Studies at different pH in the range 5.5 to 6.5 showed no correlation with the onset of solventogenesis. However, the pH and the growth rate seem to influence the productivity of butanol. In those experiments, significant increases in the production rate of butanol were observed when the dilution (growth) rate increased from 0.01 h-1 to 0.03 h-1 and the pH decreased from 6.5 to 5.5. Growth is potentially linked to production rate due to an increased demand for ATP and NADH recycling. The use of genome scale metabolic models allows for the interpretation of metabolic and physiological changes upon changes in the culture conditions. A metabolic model of Csb was constructed based on the genome sequence of the microorganism and incorporating biomass synthesis equations specific for Csb which were constructed based on the analysis of the composition of the cells grown in the chemostat experiments, as opposed to current models that use biomass composition from related species (e.g. B. subtilis). The metabolic model was used to perform flux balance analysis to identify and interpret the changes in the distribution of metabolic fluxes that would explain the metabolic changes observed in Csb cultured under different conditions. This work has demonstrated the basis for the presence of monophasic solventogenesis in C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum and provided important tools (defined media, GSMN equations) to improve industrial scale production of renewable sources of carbon-based feedstocks and thus reducing reliance on crude oil.

description: The academic entrepreneur’s choices and behaviours have been identified by Brennan et al. (2005) as the core field of interest of the research stream on academic entrepreneurship. The present work focuses on this core. The main goal of the paper is to present some classical and emergent models of academic entrepreneurship through exploring and focusing on the motivations of the entrepreneurial decision. Risk aversion, desire of independence, economic and financial reward and “academic return” are the key drivers of the critical decision to start-up a new venture within an academic context. This explorative study is based on two polar case studies, which analyze two different models of hybrid entrepreneurship.

description: Trotz Friedens- und Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen der Regierung in Manila und muslimischen Widerstandsgruppen bleibt die Lage im Süden der Philippinen äußerst angespannt. Allein am 9. August 2007 erlitten auf der Insel Jolo die Regierungstruppen mit 26 getöteten Soldaten die seit Jahren schwersten Verluste. Präsidentin Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lässt mobil machen: Seit dem 21. August gilt für Armee und Polizei landesweit erhöhte Alarmbereitschaft. Für die Zivilbevölkerung einmal mehr ein Grund, sich durch Flucht in Sicherheit zu bringen. Internationale Vermittler bemühen sich derweil, dass die Krisenstimmung nicht in eine neuerliche Kriegsstimmung umschlägt.
