title: Financial and trade integrations on international business cycle under market imperfection and heterogeneous agents

description: This thesis studies the effect of financial integration (FI) together with trade integration (TI) on international business cycles and different types of market participants in emerging markets under the presence of financial frictions and imperfect access to finance. The study adopted dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) framework and developed three international real business cycle (RBC) models to examine FI from various aspects.The simulation results show that the effect of FI on macroeconomic volatility and business cycle synchronization is mixed likely depending on TI, types of financial flow, severity of market frictions, and financial accessibility. Consumption smoothing benefit and welfare gain from higher FI are small or absent when market imperfection exists. People with more financial restrictions and no unconstrained domestic markets to rely on tend to be more negatively affected by increasing FI. TI generally lowers output and consumption fluctuation, increases business cycle synchronization, and slightly enhances welfare. Some evidences suggest that the impact of FI is weakened under higher trade possibly because FI and TI affect business cycles in opposite directions and their impacts might offset each other. Overall, there is a trade-off among diverse impacts of FI and greater FI is not entirely beneficial. Medium amount of FI combined with high trade tends to yield more desirable outcomes.The implication is that integrated policies are preferable. FI should be considered together with enhancing TI, reducing asymmetric frictions, improving unequal financial access, and advancing financial development. Deepening integration in both markets may be more favorable to business cycles than focusing at only FI. Everyone should be able to access and utilize saving, investment and borrowing opportunities. Moreover, a sound domestic financial market is an important support when FI is imperfect.

title: Effect of earnings expectations on major-occupation mismatch decisions among new college graduates

description: Major-occupation mismatch is a phenomenon where students graduated from one field of study but choose to work in another unrelated one. Due to lack of necessary skills and knowledge, the job is underperformed. As a result, the worker receives lower returns to education. These outcomes show that mismatch worse off both employer and employee.This Thesis aims at studying a potential factor that contributes to decision to choose mismatch occupation among college graduates with focus on new graduates. The factor studied is earnings expectation, whether it has effect on decision for graduates to opt for mismatch occupation. Data used in this research comes from resumes obtained from online job market in Thailand. Results indicate that earnings expectation consistently has positive effect on probability of a choice to be chosen. If graduates expect higher earnings from a mismatch occupation, they will be more likely to choose it over the match one. Size of effect from earnings expectation depends on whether the major they graduated from trains general or specific skills. Mismatch probability changes significantly for graduates from majors that train an appropriate level of specific skills. Graduates from majors training either highly general or highly specific skills will be less responsive to earnings expectation changes.For policy implication, the results indicate that raising earnings can reduce major-occupation mismatch for some occupations. They must require an appropriate level of specific skills, not too general or too specific.

title: Operational system development of luggage delivery service

description: Luggage handling is a regular but tiring, time-consuming activity when travelers stay abroad. The solution is designed to be easy, convenient, and helpful for foreigners. The niche market is underdeveloped and its business potential is high. Thailand welcomed more than 32 million foreign travelers in 2016. At the time of research, no business provides the solution in the city.By integrating market and operational requirements, an operational system can be developed to control costs, quality, and deliverables. Market requirements include customer behavior, market segments, differentiators, and customer expectation of the service. On the other hand, operational requirements are investigated through stakeholder analysis, capacity of logistics, and technologies and defined as operational objectives. Assumptions of market and operational requirements are analyzed and integrated to give an overview of the service.By applying project management techniques and new operational system, operators can adopt the information to define service scope, operations, organization, and required resources. The service quality is evaluated by the gap between consumer expectation and perceived service performance. The standardized procedures can reduce the variation of the process and secure the quality level. With a structural system, the elements can be investigated and optimized to create further benefits.

title: A critical evaluation of investment in an upstream business to supply the current production : a case study of metal shutter door productions

description: This research was created on the purpose of guiding the company's direction on investment to make or do nothing is a very important. In business, the investment meaning to growth of the company especially in special business sector as Viriyalohakij, which is Business to Business product with a family owned research is not conducted often.The method and tools that used in this study are mostly come from business point of view. That reflects on the investment cash flow and many financial components which are resources based view analysis by using VRIO tool for the process. Operation strategy will use Hill’s framework for scoping the company direction objectives and goals. While financial part will use ratio on analysis which are NPV represents for total alternative valued based on a certain period of time. IRR the international return rate that the alternative reflect in percentage, ROI represents for the percentage of return in this investment and ROI which represents for the amount of time spending before the cash flow make profit.The author decides to suggest the company to choose alternative 2.3 investment model, which is establishing a new business on the joint venture model of investment. Based on the environment (PESTLE analysis), the current situation is highly possibly to be worst case than normal case. Alternative 2.3 still in top 3 of VRIO analysis and also make the best financial outcome in financial analysis.

title: California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project Application and Consumer Survey Data: Data used in a 2020 analysis of "EV Converts"

description: These data are from a survey of participants in the California's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, a statewide consumer cash rebate for the purchase or lease of a qualifying clean vehicle. The survey data were used in an analysis of "EV Converts" or rebate recipients who had little or no knowledge or interest in an EV at the start of their new car search. The abstract for that work follows here: To expand markets for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) beyond enthusiastic early adopters, investments must be strategic. This research characterizes a segment of EV adoption that points the way toward the mainstream: EV consumers with low or no initial interest in EVs, or “EV Converts.” Logistic regression is utilized to profile EV Convert demographic, household, and regional characteristics; vehicle-transaction details; and purchase motivations—based on 2016–2017 survey data characterizing 5,447 rebated California EV consumers. Explanatory factors are rank-ordered—separately for battery EVs (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs), to inform targeted outreach and incentive design. EV Converts tend to have relatively “lower” values on factors that might have otherwise “pre-converted” them to EV interest: hours researching EVs online; motivation from environmental impacts and carpool-lane access; and solar ownership. PHEV Converts more closely resemble new-car buyers, but BEV Converts “go beyond” mainstream markets on two measures: they are younger and less-frequently white/Caucasian than new-car buyers. BEV Converts also tend to: lack workplace charging, be moderately motivated by energy independence, and reside in Southern California or the Central Valley. Predictors that not only help target, but also help convert, consumers include rebates for BEV consumers and, modestly, fuel-cost savings for PHEV consumers.

title: Religious Priming, Religious Beliefs & Charitable Giving in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire Data

description: The data are lab-in-the-field experiments conducted in Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire in 2018. Surveys were collected from 1,583 adults which included basic demographic data. Half of the respondents randomly received a priming question, "Do you believe in heaven and hell?" The respondents were asked whether they would donate their survey participation fee, which was randomized to three levels, to an orphanage. We tested the hypothesis that the prime would increase the probability of giving to charity, whether respondents who believe would be more likely to give, and whether giving decreased as the opportunity cost (the participation fee) increased. The religious prompt was not statistically significantly associated with increased giving, but, among those who were prompted, those who believe were more likely to donate. Giving propensity decreased as the fee increased.

title: Landscape and Selection of Vaccine Epitopes in SARS-CoV-2

description: Early in the pandemic, we designed a SARS-CoV-2 peptide vaccine containing epitope regions optimized for concurrent B cell, CD4+ T cell, and CD8+ T cell stimulation. The rationale for this design was to drive both humoral and cellular immunity with high specificity while avoiding undesired effects such as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). In this study, we combine computational prediction of T cell epitopes, recently published B cell epitope mapping studies, and epitope accessibility to select candidate peptide vaccines for SARS-CoV-2. We begin with an exploration of the space of possible T cell epitopes in SARS-CoV-2 with interrogation of predicted HLA-I and HLA-II ligands, overlap between predicted ligands, protein source, as well as concurrent human/murine coverage. Beyond MHC affinity, T cell vaccine candidates were further refined by predicted immunogenicity, viral source protein abundance, sequence conservation, coverage of high frequency HLA alleles and co-localization of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes. B cell epitope regions were chosen from linear epitope mapping studies of convalescent patient serum, followed by filtering to select regions with surface accessibility, high sequence conservation, spatial localization near functional domains of the spike glycoprotein, and avoidance of glycosylation sites. From 58 initial candidates, three B cell epitope regions were identified. By combining these B cell and T cell analyses, as well as a manufacturability heuristic, we propose a set of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine peptides for use in subsequent murine studies. The immunogenicity of the selected peptides was validated using ELISpot and ELISA following murine vaccination. We also curated a dataset of almost a thousand observed T-cell epitopes from convalescent COVID-19 patients across eight studies. Our vaccine selection process appears to be effective at predicting recurrent T-cell epitopes and strong T-cell responses were observed in mice following vaccination. Humoral responses were deficient, likely due to the unrestricted conformational space inhabited by linear vaccine peptides. Overall, we find our selection process and vaccine formulation to be appropriate for identifying T-cell epitopes and eliciting T-cell responses against those epitopes.

title: Dataset: Consistent after all: behavioural repeatability in a long-lived lizard across a 6-year field study

description: This dataset contains the data used in Payne et al. (2021) Animal Behaviour. Consistent after all: behavioural repeatability in a long-lived lizard across a 6-year field study. In Payne et al. (2021), we studied animal personalities over an 8-year period, representing 6 study years, in a wild population of the long-lived sleepy lizard, Tiliqua rugosa. Using Bayesian generalized linear mixed models for 170 unique individuals and a total of 379 lizard-years, we 1) considered the effects of a suite of predictors – particularly lizard sex, mass, and tick counts – on lizard aggression and boldness; 2) assessed repeatability (i.e., consistent differences among individuals) of these behaviours over different time scales and between lizard sexes; and 3) evaluated the correlation, or behavioural syndrome, between aggression and boldness. We found that males were marginally more aggressive and bolder than females, mass had no significant effect, and tick loads exhibited a positive relationship with aggression and boldness. For repeatability, we found that even with the long timescales considered in this study, aggression and boldness were both repeatable – across the entire dataset (~0.4 and ~0.3, respectively), as well as among years (~0.4 and ~0.4, respectively). Repeatability did not differ substantially between the sexes. We found no syndrome between aggression and boldness. Our results are notable because they demonstrate that wild animals may exhibit consistent personality differences in ecologically-relevant behaviours over extended periods, even in the face of substantial temporal variation in ecological and social factors. The data provided here include the information required for our analyses. Briefly, sleepy lizards in our study site (near Maude, South Australia) have a limited activity season, mainly August - December. During these seasons, we repeatedly captured lizards, assessing their ticks, mass, sex, and behaviour. The csv file (behavior_data.csv) in this dataset includes these variables (e.g., aggression and boldness scores, trial dates, tick counts, etc). For more details on our methodology and the study system, please see Payne et al. (2021) and citations therein. Please also see the meta file (meta.md) included with the dataset, which describes our variables in detail. The meta file is in markdown format, which can be opened in any program capable of viewing plain text files.
