This paper reports the direct and spillover effects of a campaign with a normative based report on residential water use in Colombia. The experimental design introduces an exogenous variation in the percentage of households receiving reports within a water utility, leaving households without reports but affected by the diffusion of information. The randomization is at two levels. First, assigning saturation percentages across water utilities and second, the treatment status across households conditional to that saturation. Findings show that accounting for spillovers leads to a higher impact of social norm campaigns than previous interventions. In addition, shorter periods between reports remind households to act pro-environmentally. Households receiving feedback every 30 days show a significant impact than every 60 in both treatment units. This paper emphasizes using social norm-based as an effective tool in promoting socially desirable pro-environmental behaviors and addressing spillovers to diffuse behavioral changes. In particular, in small urban settings with high social capital levels or during weather shocks that could affect water supply.

Une mauvaise herbe entre deux plaques de bitume. Le soleil printanier chauffant les pommettes. Une voiture brûlée dans un décor intact. Une maison en cours de réfection. Le lit d’une rivière redessinant ses contours. Viser une cible en plein centre. Viser une cible à côté. Marcher dans l’eau. S’entendre raconter une vie qui n’est pas la sienne. Être tenté de l’essayer pour voir ce qu’elle a de si désirable. Prendre une photo qui ne parlera qu’à soi. Attendre. Déblayer un chemin. Trouver une clairière. S’asseoir. Choisir sa route. La tension dans les muscles. Faire la course. Distinguer les couleurs. Trouver une personne belle. Le lui dire. S’installer près de l’eau. Écouter les histoires. Prendre le visage des autres.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 1,3, FOM Essen, Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen früher Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach bisherigem Verständnis ließ sich das betriebliche Rechnungswesen grob in internes und externes Rechnungswesen aufteilen. So zumindest der Stand der Forschung und Lehre bis weit in die 2010er Jahre hinein. Seit einiger Zeit ist jedoch zu beobachten, dass sich die Trennlinie zwischen internem und externem Rechnungswesen zunehmend verschiebt. So werden im Controlling beispielsweise zur Bewertung diverser Sachverhalte sowie für das Managementreporting nun häufiger auch Zahlen herangezogen, die vorher vornehmlich in Geschäftsberichten veröffentlicht worden sind. Aus der Verschmelzung ist der Begriff „Biltrolling“ (eine Wortschöpfung aus Bilanzbuchhalter und Controller) entstanden und mittlerweile zu einem vollständigen Berufsbild gewachsen, wenn auch bisher eher in kleinen bzw. mittelständischen Unternehmen. Die zunehmende Digitalisierung scheint, neben weiteren Treibern, die Konvergenz der beiden Zweige des Rechnungswesens zusätzlich zu beschleunigen. Um welche Treiber es sich im Einzelnen handelt, soll in den folgenden Kapiteln näher beleuchtet werden. Dazu wird ein Blick darauf geworfen, wie sich die Aufgaben, Zuständigkeiten und Adressaten von internem und externem Rechnungswesen unterscheiden und auf welchen Regelungen oder Vorschriften sie fußen. Anschließend wird die Konvergenz anhand von Beispielen erläutert, um sie im Fazit schlussendlich kritisch einzuordnen.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensforschung, Operations Research, Note: 1,3, FOM Essen, Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen früher Fachhochschule, Veranstaltung: Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Seminararbeit untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Grundaussagen der Prinzipal-Agent-Theorie und den verschiedenen Telearbeitsmodellen der heutigen Zeit. Es wird betrachtet, welche Probleme in der Beziehung zwischen Arbeitgebern (Prinzipal) und Arbeitnehmern (Agenten) bei der Anwendung von Telearbeitsmodellen entstehen können. Dazu werden im zweiten Kapitel zunächst die Charakteristiken von Telearbeit näher erläutert und auf die Vor- und Nachteile aus Sicht von Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmenden hingewiesen. Anschließend wird die PA-Theorie in ihren Grundzügen erklärt. Im dritten Kapitel werden die Annahmen der Prinzipal-Agent-Theorie mit den Herausforderungen von Telearbeitsmodellen in Kontext gebracht und erörtert, welche Annahmen der Theorie, in welchen Ausprägungen zutreffen und welche Probleme entstehen können. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, geeignete Lösungsansätze für das untersuchte Problem zu analysieren und diese in Kapitel vier vorzustellen sowie geeignete Handlungsempfehlungen daraus abzuleiten. Den Abschluss bildet das Fazit im fünften Kapitel, in welchem die Zieleerreichung dargestellt wird und die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zusammengefasst werden.

1963 – De Gaulle rejette le Royaume-Uni du Marché Unique, Jacques Anquetil gagne son quatrième Tour de France, la durée du service militaire est ramenée à 16 mois, le premier « hypermarché » sort de terre et... la SOCOMEC est créée à La Souterraine, dans la Creuse. 57 ans et une dizaine de repreneurs et de redressements judiciaires plus tard, La Souterraine Industrie (LSI, dernier nom de ce site industriel) ne compte plus que 120 employés, soit près de 4 fois moins que dans les années 1980. A travers les voix de cinq personnages hauts en couleur, leaders de la lutte connus sous le nom « L’Agence tout risque », il nous raconte les combats, les succès et les échecs de ces hommes qui se sont battus pour maintenir sur les rails un bastion industriel qui n’en finit plus d’être sur le point de disparaître.

“It Started With A Beeper”, will take you through the ups and downs of the entrepreneur journey of David Lopez, Jr. as he recalls it. A good lighthearted book for anyone wanting to read the real-life experiences of a business owner and potentially come away with a few laughs and life lessons.

When eight misfits are brought together to help a long tenured (and tuned out) manager try and save one dying video game store from closure, they will learn more about the business (and each other) than they could have possibly bargained for. The only guarantee you will get from this adventure, Zelda doesn''t have sh*t on this Legend.

Alexia desperately wants to become one of the greatest super heroes of all time, just like her father, the much revered IRONHEAD. Upon his sudden death, however, Alexia''s destiny takes an unexpected turn. IRONHEAD''s empire n

Boxen, dealen, Karten spielen und ein bisschen Voltaire: In einer Kleinstadt mit endlosen Reihenhaussiedlungen irgendwo in der Provinz vertreiben sich Jonas und seine Kumpel die Zeit. Für sie ist es nicht Tristesse, sondern ihr Zuhause. Hier können sie große Töne spucken, hier werden sie respektiert. Ab und zu landet einer von ihnen im Knast. Jonas hat das Zeug zum Profiboxer, aber nicht den Elan. In der Hipster-Bar in der nahen Großstadt oder auf der Studentenparty machen er und seine Kumpel Stress, verlieben sich in Frauen, die für sie nicht infrage kommen, versuchen erst gar nicht, akzeptiert zu werden. Sie reden zwar vom Ausbruch, doch wem er gelingt, der gehört nicht mehr dazu. Mit großer erzählerischer Kraft und voller Poesie zeichnet David Lopez das lebendige Bild einer Generation, die sich selbst abgehängt hat. Der Roman über das Erwachsenwerden in einer Welt, die nichts verspricht, hat in Frankreich einen Nerv getroffen.

We document that the past three ?jobless? recoveries also featured asymmetries in labor force participation and labor compensation, with each falling to new lows during each cycle. We model these asymmetries as resulting from a strategic complementarity in firms'' wage setting and workers'' job search strategies. Strategic complementarity results in a continuum of possible equilibria with higher-wage equilibria welfare dominating lower-wage equilibria. Assuming that no economic agent deviates from an existing strategy unless deviation is a unilateral best response, the model exhibits (1) periods of endogenous rigidity in wages and participation, (2) persistent changes in wages, participation, and output in response to transitory movements in labor productivity, (3) sluggish recoveries including both a ?jobless " phase, in which productivity recovers while unemployment remains elevated, and a ?wageless " phase, in which employment recovers but wages remain depressed Calibrating the model suggests that the U.S. unemployment rate may need to fall to around 3 percent before labor compensation recovers to pre-Financial Crisis levels.

This paper outlines opportunities that field experimentation can bring to accommodation managers. It also describes specific types of experiment designs that can help exploit those opportunities and increase the adoption of field experimentation. Field experimentation (often through randomized testing) has been widely adopted as an optimization technique in product design and marketing in several industries. It is also considered as the golden standard for causal inference and thus a critical tool for decision makers. As such, companies have successfully used field experimentation to reduce costs, increase revenues, and maintain an edge in their customer experience in highly competitive environments. However, a number of optimization problems with a rich academic and commercial history have resisted this push. In certain industries, such as hospitality, to the authors'' knowledge, there is little publicly documented work detailing results of field experiments applied to revenue management, and the use of such tools remains the privilege of big corporate brands with a small overall market share. This happens in a $500 billion industry in which vendors and academics alike claim that price optimization can yield uplifts of 10% in revenue. This paper discusses the likely causes of the sparse adoption of field experimentation for revenue management in hospitality. By explicitly addressing the complexities of revenue management, and outlining specific experimental designs aimed at handling those complexities, this paper aims to start a public conversation about experimentation in hospitality that should benefit the industry as a whole.

Quelque part entre la banlieue et la campagne, là où leurs parents ont eux-mêmes grandi, Jonas et ses amis tuent le temps. Ils fument, ils jouent aux cartes, ils font pousser de l''herbe dans le jardin, et quand ils sortent, c''est pour constater ce qui les éloigne des autres. Dans cet univers à cheval entre deux mondes, où tout semble voué à la répétition du même, leur fief, c''est le langage, son usage et son accès, qu''il soit porté par Lahuiss quand il interprète le Candide de Voltaire et explique aux autres comment parler aux filles pour les séduire, par Poto quand il rappe ou invective ses amis, par Ixe et ses sublimes fautes d''orthographe. Ce qui est en jeu, c''est la montée progressive d''une poésie de l''existence dans un monde sans horizon. Au fil de ce roman écrit au cordeau, une gravité se dégage, une beauté qu''on extirpe du tragique ordinaire, à travers une voix neuve, celle de l''auteur de Fief. David Lopez a trente ans. Fief est son premier roman.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Environmental Sciences, Fiji National University (College of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Fiji National University), language: English, abstract: Fiji Islands are among the most dynamic economies in the South Pacific, with rapid changes on infrastructure and industrial developments, tourism and commercial agriculture; even though they often come alongside environmental impacts on endemic biota and ecosystems that are not well understood, not much is invested on research to plan a sustainable use of land. Parallel unsolved concerns are land tenure issues in which ancestral community ownership coexists with modern markets; tensions over land leases between ethnical groups and high population growth trigger land use intensification, and rise of emigrations, of landlessness, of unemployment and finally of poverty. Therefore, it is of a national interest to asses these trends for long term sustainable land use planning; even nearly 3500 years ago a record of regulations aimed to achieve sustainability and equality: “3 ...for six years you may plant crops inyour fields, prune your vineyards, and gather what they produce. 4 But during the seventh year, you must let the land rest. 8 Count seven of these years seven times for a total of 49 years... during that time there will be seven ·years of rest 9 and proclaim liberty to everyone living in the land... everyone is to return to their own property” (Leviticus 25). In this document, the first chapter is a synopsis of land use in the rural areas of Fiji islands, its evolution, types, problems and alternatives, the second chapter is a review of some common free gis packages available in the internet useful for forestry and land use evaluations, their number and degrees of sophistication are ever growing; the last two chapters are applications, first on detecting the severity of land use intensity in relation to other socioeconomic parameters, and second on the planning of the best places for planting trees of economic or ecological importance. The articles were presented at international conferences, they are in no way a comprehensive treatise on the subject; my main purpose is to ignite the interest of students and staff working in the forestry field to try on and propose projects of various types, scales and complexity, with just a standard PC and access to internet and library resources.

In recent years, the Federal Reserve has made substantial changes to its framework for monetary policymaking by providing greater clarity regarding its objectives, its intentions regarding the use of monetary policy--including nontraditional policy tools such as forward guidance and asset purchases--in the pursuit of those objectives, and its broader policy strategy. These changes reflected both a response to changes in economists'' understanding of the most effective way to implement monetary policy and a response to specific challenges posed by the financial crisis and its aftermath, particularly the effective lower bound on nominal interest rates. We trace the recent evolution of the Federal Reserve''s framework, and use a small-scale macro model and a simple static model to help illuminate the approaches taken with nontraditional monetary policy tools. A number of foreign central banks have made similar innovations in response to similar developments. On balance, the Federal Reserve has moved closer to "flexible inflation targeting," but the Federal Reserve''s approach includes a balanced focus on two objectives and the use of a flexible horizon over which policy aims to foster those objectives. Going forward, further changes in central banks'' frameworks may be needed to address issues raised by the financial crisis. For example, some have suggested that the sustained period at the effective lower bound points to the need for central banks to establish a different policy objective, such as a higher inflation target or a nominal income target. We use our small-scale model of the U.S. economy to examine the potential benefits and costs of such changes. We also discuss the broad issue of how central banks should integrate financial stability policy and monetary policy.

The purpose of this critical multi-case qualitative study was to explore reciprocal connections between participants and other stakeholders established through the community-school partnerships (CSPs) at three Latina/o majority secondary schools in an economically disadvantaged region of Southwest Texas. To achieve its purpose the study examined the ways in which various campus and district level leaders demonstrated ownership of the CSPs, especially focusing on how the connections with parents and the community were established and maintained. Additionally, the study investigated the connection between the program perceptions of participating parents and other community members in relation to the school and district based perceptions of the programs’ outcomes. This type of research could lend key insights to educational leaders and practitioners working with large Latina/o student populations at the secondary school level. Additionally, this research is occurring at a crucial time in our nation’s history, when the number of Latina/o students underperforming on college readiness measures portends impactful and lasting consequences to the future of the nation.

Continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactors are being investigated for their ability to efficiently produce high quality nanoparticles. While many nanomaterials can be produced via continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactors, silicon is of particular interest, due to its abundance and relevance in many energy related fields. Significant gaps still exist in the understanding of the kinetics responsible for particle growth, structural evolution, and surface termination of continuous flow non-thermal plasma reactor produced particles. Particle interaction with plasma radicals results in the heating of the particles, which in turn affects the kinetics of particle growth, structural evolution, and surface termination during synthesis and processing. We have investigated the details of plasma-nanoparticle interaction by using in-flight and in-situ characterization techniques. For the first time, we have measured the temperature of a free-standing particle immersed in a non-equilibrium processing plasma.

These evolution models are critical because a planet''s composition can change substantially over its lifetime. Close-in planets, like most of those found so far, are bombarded by large amounts of ionizing radiation, which over time can completely strip away a planet''s atmosphere; even turning a gas-rich Neptune sized planet into a barren rocky super-Earth.
