Public Information Arrival, Thomas Berry, Keith Howe

Thomas D Berry

The authors develop a measure of public information flow to financial markets and use it to document the patterns of information arrival, with an emphasis on the intraday flows. The measure is the number of news releases by Reuter's News Service per unit of time. The authors find that public information arrival is nonconstant, displaying seasonalities and distinct intraday patterns. Next they relate their measure of public information to aggregate measures of intraday market activity. The authors' results suggest a positive, moderate relationship between public information and trading volume but an insignificant relationship with price volatility. Copyright 1994 by American …

Calibrating Essay Markers With The Partial Credit Model, Geoff Masters, Siek Khoo

Dr Siek Toon Khoo

This paper shows how a range of differences in marker behaviour, including leniency/severity and central tendency, can be detected and investigated using the Rasch partial credit model. The method allows for variations in the use of rating categories by estimating a set of rating 'thresholds' for each assessor. By calibrating each assessor's rating behaviour in this way, the method automatically takes account of detected differences among assessors in the measurement process.

Cross-Sectional Research Methods, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

This entry considers initially the different types of research studies that can be carried out in educational research, and their relationship to cross-sectional studies, the advantages and disadvantages of cross-sectional studies, the usefulness of cross- sectional studies, the difference kinds of research studies that are essentially cross-sectional in nature, as well as the gradations in types of investigation between cross- sectional and longitudinal research studies.
