Product characteristics and reputation effects in the wine market
Creators: name: Costanigro, Marco

Subjects: Wine industry -- Economic aspects -- Washington (State)

description: This dissertation analyzes the relationships between wine attributes and prices, with a focus on reputation effects. Contributions are made in the fields of industrial organization and econometrics, developing a model of firm behavior in the presence of collective and individual reputation incentives, and a technique broadly applicable to the task of estimating class-specific parametric models in the presence of class uncertainty. Data from California and Washington wines are analyzed. In a dynamic optimization framework, a theoretical model analyzes the firm's choice in maximizing the present value of its profits in a market in which the return of investing in quality is two-fold: collective (associated with the region of production) and firm reputation (associated with the brand or label). The results indicate that markets with fewer firms with both collective and firm reputation are conducive to the highest levels of quality.; The empirical part of the dissertation analyzes the effect of wine attributes on prices using hedonic models, while taking account of extreme product heterogeneity. It is hypothesized that multiple product classes exist. To identify and estimate class-specific hedonic models, two approaches are taken. The first approach uses price to segment the wine market, while the second uses all information to segment the market. In the price segmented model, accounting for multiple wine classes results in a greater ability to explain the variability in the data and produces more accurate and interpretable results regarding the implicit prices of the attributes. For the latter application, an innovative econometric technique is developed. First, a hedonic model for wine is estimated nonparametrically via local polynomial regression. Differences in the hedonic function across neighborhoods of data reflect changes in the underlying supply and demand functions. Data are then aggregated into groups of observations that share functionally similar estimates of the (local) hedonic functions. In this way, wine segments are endogenously determined on the basis of similarities in market equilibria. Using this methodology, four differentiated wine markets are identified: commercial, semi-premium, premium, and ultra-premium. Finally, parametric hedonic functions specific to each wine class are estimated, revealing significant differences in implicit prices of the attributes across classes.

Ideas sobre cómo ella representa un gran nudo que permite ser desenmarañado a partir de la comprensión de vitalidades contingentes como los haceres, alimentos y de quiénes y qué convoca la fiesta. El gran nudo que se señala es posible desatarlo gracias al acompañamiento de la vida que constantemente se está haciendo en Tayazú. Este es un trabajo que se levanta con mucha fuerza a partir del hacer, del aprender haciendo y del comprender la vida en Tayazú estando ahí, correspondiendo; fue necesario dejarse enseñar para hacer y hacer para dejarse enseñar. Ese hacer tiene que ver con el significado de ser parte del mundo, de habitarlo y de estar presente también en muchos otros mundos contenidos que se despliegan y dejan ver, en tensiones existentes, lo que es la vida misma.

Ideas on how it represents a big knot that allows to be unraveled from the understanding of contingent vitalities such as the doings, foods and of who and what summons the festivity. The big knot that is pointed out is possible to untie it thanks to the accompaniment of life that is constantly being done in Tayazú. This is a work that arises with great strength from doing, learning by doing and understanding life in Tayazú by being there, corresponding; it was necessary to let oneself be taught in order to do and to do in order to let oneself be taught. This doing has to do with the meaning of being part of the world, of inhabiting it and of being present also in many other contained worlds that unfold and let us see, in existing tensions, what life itself is.

description: We present a new method for constructing conformal Yano-Killing tensors in five-di\-men\-sio\-nal Anti-de Sitter space-time. The found tensors are represented in two different coordinate systems. We also discuss, in terms of CYK tensors, global charges which are well defined for asymptotically (five-dimensional) Anti-de Sitter space-time. Additionally in Appendix we present our own derivation of conformal Killing one-forms in four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space-time as an application of the Theorem presented in the paper.

description: The influenza A virus (IAV) genome consists of eight single-stranded RNA segments. Each segment is associated with a protein complex, with the 3' and 5' ends bound to the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the remainder associated with the viral nucleoprotein. During transcription of viral mRNA, this ribonucleoprotein complex steals short, 5'-capped transcripts produced by the cellular DNA dependent RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and uses them to prime transcription of viral mRNA. Here, we review the current knowledge on the process of IAV cap-snatching and suggest a requirement for RNAPII promoter-proximal pausing for efficient IAV mRNA transcription.

description: Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) are gaining considerable interest as a geolocation tool and are now widely applied in archaeology, ecology, and forensic research. However, their application for provenance requires the development of baseline models predicting surficial 87Sr/86Sr variations ("isoscapes"). A variety of empirically-based and process-based models have been proposed to build terrestrial 87Sr/86Sr isoscapes but, in their current forms, those models are not mature enough to be integrated with continuous-probability surface models used in geographic assignment. In this study, we aim to overcome those limitations and to predict 87Sr/86Sr variations across Western Europe by combining process-based models and a series of remote-sensing geospatial products into a regression framework. We find that random forest regression significantly outperforms other commonly used regression and interpolation methods, and efficiently predicts the multi-scale patterning of 87Sr/86Sr variations by accounting for geological, geomorphological and atmospheric controls. Random forest regression also provides an easily interpretable and flexible framework to integrate different types of environmental auxiliary variables required to model the multi-scale patterning of 87Sr/86Sr variability. The method is transferable to different scales and resolutions and can be applied to the large collection of geospatial data available at local and global levels. The isoscape generated in this study provides the most accurate 87Sr/86Sr predictions in bioavailable strontium for Western Europe (R2 = 0.58 and RMSE = 0.0023) to date, as well as a conservative estimate of spatial uncertainty by applying quantile regression forest. We anticipate that the method presented in this study combined with the growing numbers of bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr data and satellite geospatial products will extend the applicability of the 87Sr/86Sr geo-profiling tool in provenance applications.

description: An architectural tactic is a design decision that affects how well a software architecture addresses a particular quality attribute. This report describes how tactics are based on the parameters of quality attribute models. Tactics provide an architectural means of adjusting those parameters, which, in turn, can improve the quality-attribute-specific behavior of the resulting system. This report justifies the tactics for modifiability, using established concepts of coupling, cohesion, and cost motivations as the means of identifying parameters of interest. Various tactics are then described based on their ability to control these parameters. The report also describes a standard set of architectural patterns and their variants in terms of the use of these tactics.

description: We consider the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in slow-roll inflation. The inflaton field is described in a supergravity framework where the conformal invariance of the electromagnetic field is generically and naturally broken. For each class of inflationary scenarios, we determine the functional dependence of the gauge coupling that is consistent with the observations on the magnetic field strength at various astrophysical scales and, at the same time, avoid a back-reaction problem. Then, we study whether the required coupling functions can naturally emerge in well-motivated, possibly string-inspired, models. We argue that this is non trivial and can be realized only for a restricted class of scenarios. This includes power-law inflation where the inflaton field is interpreted as a modulus. However, this scenario seems to be consistent only if the energy scale of inflation is low and the reheating stage prolonged. Another reasonable possibility appears to be small field models since no back-reaction problem is present in this case but, unfortunately, the corresponding scenario cannot be justified in a stringy framework. Finally, large field models do not lead to sensible model building.

description: This module presents an introduction to models of software system evolution and their role in structuring software development. It includes a review of traditional software life-cycle models as well as software process models that have been recently proposed. It identifies three kinds of alternative models of software evolution that focus attention to either the products, production processes, or production settings as the major source of influence. It examines how different software engineering tools and techniques can support life-cycle or process approaches. It also identifies techniques for evaluating the practical utility of a given model of software evolution for development projects in different kinds of organizational settings.

description: Over their lifetime, systems exist in many forms, such as instances of a system deployed in different contexts or a system evolving over time. Variability may also occur in terms of functionality reflected in the domain architecture, nonfunctional properties (such as performance, reliability, and safety-criticality) that are realized in the runtime architecture, interfaces to the deployment environment with which the system interfaces, and mapping to computing platforms. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) is an industry-standard, architecture-modeling notation specifically designed to support a component-based approach to modeling embedded systems. This technical note discusses how AADL can be used to model system families and configurations of system and component variants. It shows that AADL supports system families by providing component types that are used to specify component interfaces and multiple implementations for each component type. This report also shows that AADL uses properties to represent multiple dimensions of system variability ranging from variation through conditional compilation to variation through different sets of calibration parameters.

description: This book proposes to separate knowledge from software and to make it a commodity that is called knowware. The architecture, representation and function of Knowware are discussed. The principles of knowware engineering and its three life cycle models: furnace model, crystallization model and spiral model are proposed and analyzed. Techniques of software/knowware co-engineering are introduced. A software component whose knowledge is replaced by knowware is called mixware. An object and component oriented development schema of mixware is introduced. In particular, the tower model and ladder model for mixware development are proposed and discussed. Finally, knowledge service and knowware based Web service are introduced and compared with Web service. In summary, knowware, software and hardware should be considered as three equally important underpinnings of IT industry.

Evaluation of an Equation for the Canada-U.S. Real Exchange Rate
Creators: name: Luo, Yanxin
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Amano and van Norden first developed an equation for the Canada-U.S. real exchange rate in 1993, that empirically verified the existence of a relationship between commodity terms-of-trade variables, the interest rate differential and the real value of the Canadian dollar. Two years later, Lafrance and van Norden modified this equation, and reached a similar conclusion using quarterly data from 1972Q2 to 1993Q4. Using quarterly data retrieved from Federal Reserve Economics Data (FRED) and Statistics Canada, this paper revisits Lafrance and van Norden’s equation and empirically examines its feasibility from 1972Q1 to 2017Q1. First, I try to replicate the Lafrance and Van Norden’s (1995) results using the same sample period as they used (1972Q2 to 1993Q4). I also estimate the same equation with an extended sample period (1993Q4 to 2017Q1). The results show that the signs of the coefficients are consistent with those of Lafrance and van Norden, but their magnitudes are not; also, this equation has less explanatory power when the latest data are used. Next, after dividing the whole sample into five subsamples, each longer than the previous one, the major findings correspond to my expectation that the non-energy commodity terms of trade place upward pressure on the value of the Canadian dollar. However, the impact of the energy commodity terms of trade has shifted from depreciating to appreciating. Last, two modifications of the original equation aiming to improve the results demonstrate that the interest rate differential is a puzzling variable when it comes to explaining the movements of the real exchange rate; further research is needed to explain the unexpected finding that the interest rate differential no longer seems to influence the real exchange rate.

Only $τ$-lepton decays with hadrons in the final state are considered. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed; model-independent upper limits are set on the visible $τν$ production cross section. Heavy $W^{\prime}$ bosons with masses less than 3.7 TeV in the Sequential Standard Model and masses less than 2.2-3.8 TeV depending on the coupling in the non-universal G(221) model are excluded at the 95% credibility level.

Introduction: Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate are commonly used in dogs with OA, but evidence around efficacy is mixed. This study evaluated the effectiveness of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, marine based fatty acid compounds (PCSO-524 and EAB-277), and carprofen for the alleviation of canine hip OA pain. This was a prospective, block-randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Methods: Seventy-five owned pet dogs with hip OA were assigned randomly into five treatment groups: PCSO-524, Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, EAB-277, carprofen, and Placebo (sunflower oil). Peak vertical force (PVF) and subjective orthopedic assessment scores (OAS) were evaluated before treatment (week 0), and at weeks 2, 4, and 6 during treatment. Results: At week 2, the carprofen group showed a significant increase in PVF (3.14 ± 5.33; mean ± SD). After 4 weeks, the increases in PVF of the PCSO-524 (3.90 ± 3.52), EAB-277 (4.17 ± 4.94), and carprofen (3.08 ± 5.87) groups were significant, and significantly greater than placebo (0.08 ± 1.90) and glucosamine (-0.05 ± 6.34) groups. After 6 weeks, the change of PVF in the PCSO-524 (4.14 ± 4.65), EAB-277 (4.45 ± 4.23), and carprofen (4.21 ± 6.52) groups were significant and significantly higher than the placebo group (-0.33 ± 3.65). The change in PVF in the glucosamine group (1.08 ± 5.49) lay between the placebo group and the other treatment groups. The OAS did not show any significant change in any group. Discussion: PCSO-524 and EAB-277, but not glucosamine/chondroitin, resulted in significant improvements in PVF from baseline after 4 weeks, and 6 weeks, and to a similar degree to that seen with carprofen.

description: Ongoing field work centered at the Information Technology Process Institute (ITPI) makes clear that processes that control change and access within information technology (IT) management and operations simultaneously reduce security risk and increase efficiency and effectiveness. The CERT's Coordination Center is building on this work. This technical note describes a system dynamics model that embodies CERT's current hypothesis of why and how these controls reduce the problematic behavior of the low-performing IT operation. CERT has also started to extend the model in ways that reflect the improved performance seen by high performers. In the longer term, the hope is that this model will help to specify, explain, and justify a prescriptive process for integrating change and access controls into organizations' business processes in a way that most effectively reduces security risk and increases IT operational effectiveness and efficiency.

Subjects: College students -- Conduct of life

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between religiosity and academic success in first-year college students. The study employed qualitative methods of data collection and analysis to accomplish this purpose. A purposeful sample of ten first-year college students was selected as participants, five from a community college in eastern Washington state, and five from a major research university. They were asked to describe, from their own experiences, the connection between religion and academic success. As the study proceeded four major themes emerged from the data. The first theme had to do with the perceived expectations placed upon the students by parents, religion and God. The second theme was concerned with the idea that adherence to religious values and behaviors allowed the students to focus their attention on academic pursuits and not on academic distractions such as partying, sex, drugs, or alcohol consumption. The third theme had to do with their perception that individual religiosity acted as a support system during school. That is, God was always there to assist them to accomplish their school work. The final theme related to the belief that religion allowed them to see the big picture and how educational success fit into the overall scheme of things. This study is significant in that it contributes substantive knowledge of the role religiosity plays in academic success. Conclusions and implications resulting from this study may be useful to both college and high school professionals as well as religious leaders.

description: Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is an approach to develop software systems by creating models and applying automated transformations to them to ultimately generate the implementation for a target platform. Although the main focus of MDE is on the generation of code, it is also necessary to support the analysis of the designs with respect to quality attributes such as performance. To complement the model-to-implementation path of MDE approaches, an MDE tool infrastructure should provide what we call model-driven analysis. This paper describes an approach to model-driven analysis based on reasoning frameworks. In particular, it describes a performance reasoning framework that can transform a design into a model suitable for analysis of real-time performance properties with different evaluation procedures including rate monotonic analysis and simulation. The concepts presented in this paper have been implemented in the PACC Starter Kit, a development environment that supports code generation and analysis from the same models.

description: Dynamic frequency tuning of the 40.67 GHz intermode beat frequency of a 1255 nm emitting 1 mm long monolithic self mode-locked single section optical frequency comb InAs/InGaAs quantum dot laser across 70 MHz is experimentally demonstrated by fine-delay dual-cavity controlled all optical self-injection. Fiber-based macroscopic optical delay lengths are 9.4 m (round-trip time of 62.7 ns) and 16.5 m (round-trip time of 110.1 ns), the maximum studied microscopic delay tuning times are 40 ps and the optical self-injection strengths are below 0.02%. For selected delay times, the lowest intermode beat frequency line width amounts to 2 kHz indicating an improvement of carrier phase coherence by a factor of 700 as compared to the free-running laser. We validate these experimental results by a simple and universal stochastic time-domain model which is applied for the first time to model a self mode-locked quantum dot laser subject to optical self-injection. Modeling results are in good quantitative agreement.
Child care use and maternal labour supply: Evidence from Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians [2020]

Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the impacts of COVID-19 on child care use and maternal labour supply in Canada. Using the data from Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians - Parenting during the Pandemic [2020], I see sharp drops both in child care use and maternal labour supply during the quarantine and possibly when the lockdown is over . Meanwhile, mothers who have 0 - 5 years old children, university degrees, and immigrants show stronger dependence on child care services. Mothers with disabled children tend to spend more time helping their children with learning activities related to school.

description: An article from Social Science and Medicine, written by Snyder and Wilson (2012), examined the use of healthcare services by urban Aboriginal populations in Canada. Using the Behavioural Model of Health Services Use (BMHSU), predisposing, enabling, and need factors were organized and used for data analysis. Specifically, a comparison was made between conventional (physicians and nurses) and traditional (traditional healers) health service utilization in Toronto and Winnipeg. In addition to the geographical and educational factors, the results of the research recognized mobility as a significant predisposing complement to healthcare utilization.

description: Model Based Verification (MBV) is a systematic approach to finding defects (errors) in software requirements, designs, or code. MBV involves creating essential models of system behavior and analyzing these models against formal representations of expected properties, known as claims. Claim generation has been identified as a particularly complex activity within model-based verification. This technical note describes a pattern-based approach to facilitate claim generation. The report includes a list of directly usable patterns for the most frequent expected properties found in system specifications.

description: We investigate a tunneling and emission process of a thin-shell from a Schwarzschild black hole, where the shell was initially located beyond the Einstein-Rosen bridge and finally appears at the right side of the Penrose diagram. In order to obtain such a solution, we should assume that the areal radius of the black hole horizon increases after the tunneling. Hence, there is a parameter range such that the tunneling rate is exponentially enhanced, rather than suppressed. We may have two interpretations regarding this. First, such a tunneling process from the past horizon is improbable by physical reasons; second, such a tunneling is possible in principle, but in order to obtain a stable Einstein-Rosen bridge, one needs to restrict the parameter spaces. If such a process is allowed, this can be a non-perturbative contribution to Einstein-Rosen bridges as well as eternal black holes.

description: Plants have developed different tropisms: in particular, they re-orient the growth of their branches towards light (phototropism) or upwards (gravitropism). How these tropisms affect the shape of a tree crown remains unanswered. We address this question by developing a propagating front model of tree growth. This model being length-free, it leads to self-similar solutions, independent of the initial conditions, at long time. Varying the intensities of each tropism, different self-similar shapes emerge, including singular ones. Interestingly, these shapes bear similarities with existing tree species. It is concluded that the core of specific crown shapes in trees relies on the balance between tropisms.
