Using Sports To Teach Finance And Economics Jan 2026

Using Sports To Teach Finance And Economics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Sustaining student interest in economics and finance is often a challenging task. One way to generate interest is through the use of examples that are interesting and relevant to the students. Sports provide many examples of finance and economics principles. In this paper, we provide seven sports examples that can be used to demonstrate various topics in and out of the classroom. These examples can be used either to introduce material or to assist more advanced students in gaining a deeper understanding of the subject matter. The examples have the additional benefit of providing memorable allegories to the business world.


Using Microsoft Corporation To Demonstrate The Optimal Capital Structure Trade-Off Theory Jan 2026

Using Microsoft Corporation To Demonstrate The Optimal Capital Structure Trade-Off Theory

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

In this paper, we apply the trade-off theory of capital structure to Microsoft. We use data for bond ratings, bond risk premiums, and levered CAPM betas to compute the cost of equity and the weighted average cost of capital for Microsoft at different debt levels. This study shows the impact of increasing financial leverage on WACC. As financial leverage increases, the WACC decreases until the optimal debt ratio is reached, after which, the WACC begins to rise. At this debt ratio, the value of Microsoft will be maximized. Our results indicate the optimal debt ratio for Microsoft is 37.5 percent.


Differences In Student Evaluations From Hybrid And Traditional Courses Jan 2026

Differences In Student Evaluations From Hybrid And Traditional Courses

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Hybrid courses contain online elements in combination with reduced in-class seat time. This study examines differences in student evaluations from hybrid and traditional sections of an introductory course in economic and business statistics. In our hybrid course, face-to-face lectures are replaced with online lectures and class periods are conducted as question-answer and practice sessions. We find strong evidence that students mark down evaluation scores in the hybrid versus traditional format. Markdowns occur across all dimensions of the evaluation instrument.

Twitter And The Public Choice Course: A Pedagogical Vignette On Political Information Technology

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Given the paucity of undergraduate textbooks in public choice, instructors often look for innovative approaches and unique examples when teaching undergraduate courses in public choice economics. This essay offers a pedagogical vignette for undergraduate courses in public choice that deals with the technological development in political information represented by “tweeting.” Twitter offers mobile communications services that some representatives use to boost their stock of political reputation capital.


Teaching Tamazight In Algeria Dialects And Territories Covered, Ramdane Boukherrouf Jan 2026

Teaching Tamazight In Algeria Dialects And Territories Covered, Ramdane Boukherrouf

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Our contribution consists in drawing up a report on the process of generalization of the teaching of Tamazight in Algeria. In effect, since its introduction to the school in 1995, the Ministry of National Education has initiated several policies for its generalization on both the vertical and horizontal levels. Our work proposes a quantitative and qualitative study of this policy. By using a numerical presentation of the number of teaching posts already on the labor market, and their illustration on geographical maps using the QGIS software, we highlight the policy of generalization of Tamazight teaching engaged in Algeria by spotlighting …


Brain-Type, Gender, And Student Success In The Principles Of Economics Jan 2026

Brain-Type, Gender, And Student Success In The Principles Of Economics

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Studies of the impact of gender on student performance in the principles of economics yield ambiguous conclusions. Some studies find that women are less successful than men in the principles of economics, while others conclude that gender is inconsequential. Few, if any, scientific works find women’s performance better than men’s performance. These ambiguities arise because past studies have not considered the distribution of brain-types by gender. This paper addresses the question of which brain-types are more successful in the principles of economics and whether these brain-types can be associated with a particular gender.


Attracting “Otherwise Bright” Women To Economics: An Administrative Strategy For Small To Medium Size Economics Departments Jan 2026

Attracting “Otherwise Bright” Women To Economics: An Administrative Strategy For Small To Medium Size Economics Departments

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This paper reports on a departmental strategy that targets students in the one-semester introductory economics survey course for non-majors by (1) aggressively marketing the economics degree, and (2) allowing high achieving students to waive the macroeconomic principles requirement for an economics degree. A detailed analysis of 602 student transcripts over a period of 33 years suggests that the waiver policy has not disadvantaged students in subsequent upper-level economics courses. On the contrary, women entering the economics program through the survey course have both significantly improved gender balance and the overall academic performance of economics students


French And Amazighity A Through The History Of Maghreb, Mohamed Quitout Jan 2026

French And Amazighity A Through The History Of Maghreb, Mohamed Quitout

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The author of this article intends to focus on a rarely mentioned subject, that of France's relationship to Amazigh and Amazigh. It is true that we have often heard about "the Berber policy of France". But did this policy really exist, a linguistic policy understood in the sense of a reasoned and finalized strategy leading to concrete actions on the key lands of Amazighity, namely the Amazigh language and culture. This paper will attempt to answer this paper by exploring the question throughout the period of the French colonization of Morocco and Algeria.


Gender, Sociocultural Representations Link With Family Structure In Moroccan Arabic Television Advertising, Naima Ouachene Jan 2026

Gender, Sociocultural Representations Link With Family Structure In Moroccan Arabic Television Advertising, Naima Ouachene

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Advertising is not just a reflection of society; it is a representation of the world. This phenomenon is very similar to what is called, in social psychology, a social representation. In addition, television advertisement in Moroccan Arabic employs elements of social thinking, beliefs, images, stigma or stereotypes that the receiver confronts with their own thinking system. In this regard, it recovers the image assigned to gender in Moroccan society in order to reproduce its own communicative strategies.

The Glossary Of Metonymy In The Moroccan Proverbs, Ouafae Idrissi Aydi Jan 2026

The Glossary Of Metonymy In The Moroccan Proverbs, Ouafae Idrissi Aydi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The proverb is certainly the statement that best reflects the relationship between the interlocutors and their society. Dissecting it will lead us to understand its different components. Certainly, the words that compose it are drawn from the core lexis of Moroccan speech. However, the arrangement that one makes of it is always subjected to societal and cultural values. The presence of the words referring to parts of the body does not go unnoticed since this kind of lexicon is part of the construction of the proverbial meaning. What are the names of the parts of the body that are legion? …


Characterizing Student Finance Organizations-A Survey Of Fma Chapters Jan 2026

Characterizing Student Finance Organizations-A Survey Of Fma Chapters

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

This manuscript presents the results of a survey of faculty advisors of student chapters of the Financial Management Association International (FMA). The institutions, advisors, and chapters are characterized in an effort to better understand how institutions serve their students—through the management of chapters and also how institutions provide that service through assignment of faculty advisors. The evidence indicates that chapters provide a wide-range of services and opportunities to students through the chapters, yet there appears to be differing perspectives as to the role, nature, and assignment, of chapter advisors.


Recent Trends And New Evidence In Economics And Finance Education Jan 2026

Recent Trends And New Evidence In Economics And Finance Education

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

The teaching of pre-college economics has been widely researched for over 45 years with studies focused upon teacher training and improving students’ understanding. This paper reviews that research base, and reports the results of a new national survey, as well as a summary of several recent developments in the field of economic education. Young people can learn economics best when taught by knowledgeable teachers using well developed curriculum materials. But, to accommodate expanding state requirements, pertinacious state bureaucracies must increase teacher training and curriculum standards.


The Supply Of Loanable Funds: A Comment On The Misconception And Its Implications Jan 2026

The Supply Of Loanable Funds: A Comment On The Misconception And Its Implications

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Recently Fields-Hart publish two articles on interest rate determination in this journal. In both articles, they analyze interest rates on the basis of an unconventional definition of the supply of loanable funds. In this note we argue that their concept of the supply of loanable funds based on “spillover from the money market” is a gross misunderstanding of the concept. Although Fields-Hart considered their concept as “critically important part of their story,” the results in their first article are independent of this mistake. However, their second article continues this misconception and hence yields invalid results.

The concentrations of lead were determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES). Statistical analyses using F-tests and two-tailed t-tests were conducted to examine the effects of health status, gender, smoking status, and their interactions on lead levels in washed fingernails. The concentrations of Pb in washed fingernails of healthy …


From Operations To Outcomes: The Role Of Industry 4.0 In Customer Management And Financial Performance, Hong Long Chen Jan 2026

From Operations To Outcomes: The Role Of Industry 4.0 In Customer Management And Financial Performance, Hong Long Chen

Management Dynamics

Despite extensive research on Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, relatively little attention has been given to their impact on financial performance at the firm level. This study proposes a model to investigate the links between I4.0 implementation level (I4.0IL), supply chain management performance (SCMP), customer management performance (CMP), and company financial outcomes using bootstrap-based structural equation modeling (SEM) with data from 91 companies across various sectors. The results of the bootstrap-based SEM with 1,000 resamples show that SCMP significantly influences both CMP and company financial performance, and CMP also significantly impacts financial performance. While I4.0IL does not significantly amplify the effects …

The Role Of Side-Chain Length And Counterion Mediation On Dimerization Of Rigid Sphere-Rod Amphiphiles: A Molecular Dynamics Investigation, Mesfin Tsige, Tianbo Liu, Javad Tamnanloo, Abdol Hadi Mokarizadeh Jan 2026

The Role Of Side-Chain Length And Counterion Mediation On Dimerization Of Rigid Sphere-Rod Amphiphiles: A Molecular Dynamics Investigation, Mesfin Tsige, Tianbo Liu, Javad Tamnanloo, Abdol Hadi Mokarizadeh

University Research

Rigid sphere-rod amphiphiles (RSRAs) comprising a Keggin polyoxometalate (POM) headgroup and an oligofluorene rod with different side chain lengths (C2, C6, C10, C16, are the number of carbon atoms per side chain) were probed by all-atom molecular dynamics in THF/water mixtures (15 and 33 vol % THF) with tetrabutylammonium (TBA+) counterions to elucidate the molecular origins of dimerization. Despite strong Keggin-Keggin electrostatic repulsion, stable dimers form through a synergy of (i) hydrophobic rod/side-chain interaction that strengthens with side-chain length and (ii) counterion-mediated attraction by TBA+, which localizes near the Keggins to screen electrostatic repulsion. Packing evolves from near-parallel rods for …
