Paying It Forward: Who Does This?, Elizabeth C. Alexander, Charles Braun
Paying It Forward: Who Does This?, Elizabeth C. Alexander, Charles Braun
Faculty Research Day
Paying it forward experiences sometimes make the news when an exceptionally long line of drive through customers decide to utilize upstream reciprocity, aka Pay It Forward (PIF), as in an example from December of 2012 at the Tim Horton’s in Winnipeg when 226 customers each individually paid for the order of the customer behind them in line (Tsvetkova and Macy 2014). But in most cases, the experience involves far fewer customers and is much less newsworthy. Nevertheless, paying it forward is a phenomenon that warrants investigating to understand the moti vations and attributes that contribute to the activity, possibly to …
Sustainability & Entrepreneurship Manufacturing In Distressed West Virginia Counties, Margie J. Phillips
Sustainability & Entrepreneurship Manufacturing In Distressed West Virginia Counties, Margie J. Phillips
Faculty Research Day
This project will identify and define the economic challenges faced by distressed counties in West Virginia regarding sustainable and entrepreneurship manufacturing. In addition, one historic model will be examined as to their successes and past challenges.Large scale manufacturing, once a mainstay in the state’s economy has been and is on a steady decline in West Virginia. Even when manufacturing was a viable component of the state’s economy, it was concentrated, for the most part in populated areas. Rural areas, lacking the necessary infrastructure for robust manufacturing, was stuck in a perpetual distressed condition with only the production of coal as …
Real-Time Nowcasting Of Short-Run Of The Euro-Dollar Exchange Rate With Economic Fundamentals: Does The Measure Of Money Supply Matter?, Boniface Yemba, Michael Otunuga
Real-Time Nowcasting Of Short-Run Of The Euro-Dollar Exchange Rate With Economic Fundamentals: Does The Measure Of Money Supply Matter?, Boniface Yemba, Michael Otunuga
Faculty Research Day
This paper proposes a fundamental-monetary-based econometric model with mixed frequency data to now caste the Euro-Dollar short run exchange rate. We use the exact amount of information that are available to researchers or police makers at the time of prediction of exchange rate. The spot exchange rate information are available at week basis while other macroeconomic data like money supply, in action, industrial production, and interest rate are available at monthly basis. Since the monetary model consists of stable money demand functions (Bianco, 2012), not all the measure of money supply guaranties a stable money demand. Barnett (1978, 1980) has …
An Analysis Of The Sale Of Contracts By The Athletics After The 1914 Season, Jeffrey Archambault, Marie E. Archambault
An Analysis Of The Sale Of Contracts By The Athletics After The 1914 Season, Jeffrey Archambault, Marie E. Archambault
Faculty Research Day
The Philadelphia Athletics lost the 1914 World Series to the Boston Braves, being swept in four games. The Athletics had been favored to win the Series over the Braves, who had been in last place as late as the Fourth of July. After the season, Connie Mack, the owner/manager, sold many of the best players for the Athletics. The sale of athletes is often attributed to financial pressures caused by the Federal League, which hired several star players at relatively high salaries and began play in 1914. Perhaps the sales were part of an effort to rebuild the team after …
Conditional Cash Transfer And Girl Child Survival In India, Nabaneeta Biswas
Conditional Cash Transfer And Girl Child Survival In India, Nabaneeta Biswas
Faculty Research Day
This paper examines the impact of a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program on girls’ early childhood survival in India. With a view to improve sex ratios and alleviate the status of girls, the Government of India launched the Dhan Lakshmi financial incentive scheme in 2008 in select districts of seven states. The program offers financial benefits to parents for raising daughters. Using district-level data from a large household survey, we analyze the program’s effect on sex ratios in the state of Punjab, which reports one of the most skewed sex ratios in the country. Results indicate a positive impact of …
Gis Application In Economic Analyses: Using Aid Effectiveness In Sub-Saharan Africa As An Example, Yi Duan
Gis Application In Economic Analyses: Using Aid Effectiveness In Sub-Saharan Africa As An Example, Yi Duan
Faculty Research Day
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques provide invaluable tools in analyzing spatial patterns in economics. Different selections of spatial data layers enable spatial analyses for specific projects or tasks. Using a project on foreign aid effectiveness in sub-Saharan Africa as an example, this presentation shows that detailed aid effectiveness patterns at local level can be revealed using the cutting-edge GIS techniques and spatial analytic skills, which were largely neglected by the previous literature of aid effectiveness at country level. Overcoming the “aggregation bias”, this project finds that aid targeted at local level tends to promote local economic growth, while aid targeted …
Using Omnichannel Sales Data Analytics To Decide Between Store And Distribution Center Fulfillment Options, Jingran Zhang, Sanchoy Das
Using Omnichannel Sales Data Analytics To Decide Between Store And Distribution Center Fulfillment Options, Jingran Zhang, Sanchoy Das
Faculty Research Day
A brick-and-mortar retailer can fulfill online customer orders in two ways (i) Buy Online Fulfill from Store (BOFS) - Picked from store inventory, and (ii) Fulfill from Distribution Center (FDC) - Picked from DC or warehouse inventory. The fulfillment decision is made in real time for each order, with the primary goal of maximizing the revenue value of the store inventory. Analysis of sales data in both online and store channels is used to forecast the value of the dispersed inventory, and then develop a prescriptive model for making a fulfillment decision.
Changes In Business Core & Accounting Course Requirements: Aacsb Influences, Marie Archambault, Jeffrey Archambault, Jean Price
Changes In Business Core & Accounting Course Requirements: Aacsb Influences, Marie Archambault, Jeffrey Archambault, Jean Price
Faculty Research Day
This study explores the business core requirements and accounting program requirements of universities accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) and those without such accreditation during both 1996/97 and 2012/13 academic years. The sample of 50 universities consists of 25 with AACSB accreditation and 25 without AACSB accreditation during the 1996/97 academic year. Differences are examined in the courses and credit hours required in various courses between the two types of universities as well as changes in these programs between the two time periods. The changes that have occurred between 1996/97 and 2012/13 are compared …
Does An Information Technology Investment Contribute To Company Performance: A Further Examination Of The Productivity Paradox, Marc Sollosy, Rick Weible
Does An Information Technology Investment Contribute To Company Performance: A Further Examination Of The Productivity Paradox, Marc Sollosy, Rick Weible
Faculty Research Day
This article continues the discussion examining IT’s contribution on firm performance. Byrnjolfsson (1993) identified what is known as the “productivity paradox” and posited a number of reasons for it. Carr (2003) added fuel by suggesting IT is ubiquitous and provides no significant firm advantage. This study does identify that industry type and size matters. Utilizing the position of CIO, or similar, as a proxy for IT emphasis, the study finds that non-IT intensive organizations, with annual sales less than $101 million do achieve performance advantages over firms without an IT emphasis. The implication being that the debate is far from …
Implications Of Upcoding On Medicare Fraud, Alberto Coustasse, Katrina Cremeans, Carli Followay, Jessica Oldaker
Implications Of Upcoding On Medicare Fraud, Alberto Coustasse, Katrina Cremeans, Carli Followay, Jessica Oldaker
Faculty Research Day
The complexity of and quantity of funds involved in Medicare reimbursements have led to a significant increase in the number of Medicare fraud. A particular kind of Medicare fraud, upcoding, has contributed to excessive and avoidable health care spending. Upcoding has been an illegal tactic that some providers have used to increase their Medicare reimbursement for specific medical conditions. This is accomplished by coding a provided service as a more expensive service than what was performed. With the proliferation of upcoding, there has been an unprecedented $12.5 billion in fraudulent Medicare charges. While solving the problem of upcoding will not …
Cryptocurrencies: Myth Vs. Reality, Sarina Baldoni
Cryptocurrencies: Myth Vs. Reality, Sarina Baldoni
Shared Knowledge Conference
Valuing the market of cryptocurrencies has raised both excitement and fear in popular discussion, with concerns about its legitimacy heatedly debated across the financial world. The cryptocurrency market has grown to 2,042 separate currencies, and despite rampant speculation about the future, current research provides little insight to a market approaching $217 billion in market capitalization. The purpose of this research is to examine how the 67 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization respond to events, determine if cryptocurrencies behave individually or as a collective asset class, and what factors influence cryptocurrency valuation. On January 16, 2018, the price of Bitcoin fell …
Viability Of Zero-Based Budgeting Methods In The City Of Albuquerque, Justin P. O'Shea
Viability Of Zero-Based Budgeting Methods In The City Of Albuquerque, Justin P. O'Shea
Shared Knowledge Conference
This project’s objective is to study and propose an alternative budgeting method for use by the City of Albuquerque’s municipal government. Zero-base budgeting (ZBB) is a modern government budgeting process that allocates funds starting from a base of zero for operating units and requires annual justification of all resource and service items in the budget. Although traditional ZBB is rare in practice, local and state governments in the United States are starting to utilize elements of ZBB and are incorporating ZBB methods into their current budgeting process. Interannual variability in economic standing and resultant municipal revenues has prompted the City …

Creating A Workplace Culture Of Civility And Respect: Preventing Unlawful Harassment And Discrimination, Rose Davenport
Shared Knowledge Conference
This research project identifies a plan to study best practices addressing unlawful workplace harassment and discrimination in New Mexico-based hospital healthcare systems. Initially, this project focusses on Presbyterian Healthcare Services and the University of New Mexico Hospital, with the possibility of including other local healthcare systems. In light of recent developments from “#MeToo” and “Time’s Up” movements, the issues of unlawful sexual harassment and discrimination are hot topics in today’s society and need to be more openly addressed by all levels of an organization, in order to identify these issues head-on and hopefully prevent them from continuing to occur in …

Of Expectations And Experiences: The Moderating Effect Of Valenced Expectations On Enjoyment Of A Positive Vs. Negative Experience, Molly C. Mcgehee
Shared Knowledge Conference
Some extant literature argues that expectations drive enjoyment of experiences, while other literature argues that expectations only comparatively influence enjoyment. The current work addresses this discrepancy and demonstrates that while positive expectations do result in favorable enjoyment of experiences, negative expectations result in the comparative process suggested by others.

The Statistical Comparison Of Remittances In Kosovo With Balkan Countries, Blerina Jashari, Mentor Geci
UBT International Conference
Taking into account that Kosovo is a developing country, revenues coming from other countries play an important role. The paper will present a clear picture that examines the level of remittances in the country as well as external countries. In addition to the level of remittances, a literature review will also be made regarding the methodology used. Remittances received in Kosovo, which also represent the largest category within the secondary income account, amounted to euro 568.8 million in September 2015, representing an annual growth of 12.5 percent. One of the reasons why a remittance study is done is to identify …
Use Composite Commutation Functions In Determining The Diffie-Hellman Keys, Faton Kabashi, Azir Jusufi
Use Composite Commutation Functions In Determining The Diffie-Hellman Keys, Faton Kabashi, Azir Jusufi
UBT International Conference
The Diffie-Hellman protocol was proposed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. Diffie and Hellman wanted a mathematical function where encryption and decryption would not be important, ie �(�(�))=�(�(�)). Such functions exist, but most are two-way, ie finding inverse functions is easy work eg. such a function is � (�) = 2�.
A practical example of these functions is the electrical switch. However, these functions are not usable in cryptography. Important are the concrete forms of so-called one-way functions. These problem functions appear to find their inverse functions, which are found through complex procedures. So for a given � we can …

Contemporary Trends In Banking, Bashkim Nuredini, Muhamet Gërvalla
UBT International Conference
Over the recent decades, serious changes occurred in the economic, technological and social development, having reflected on banking operations. Changes ensuing today in the field of banking are of utmost significance. Banks are becoming multifunctional or in a certain fashion, are becoming genuine department stores of modern age. The globalization of financial and banking flows is realized by conceiving a new banking concept, due to bank adjustment to the new conditions of management. The traditional bank role has been evidently altered, hence banks in present-day conditions, apart from the standard banking operations, conduct a major number of unconventional banking operations, …
Training Employees To Stay: T&D In Retaining Talent, Megan M. Waite, Troi N. Robinson-Moss, Sydney M. Kopelic, Shawn Bergman
Training Employees To Stay: T&D In Retaining Talent, Megan M. Waite, Troi N. Robinson-Moss, Sydney M. Kopelic, Shawn Bergman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The employee-driven market and “war for talent” demand organizations be increasingly competitive in maintaining the best workforce possible. Furthermore, factors such as millennial “job hopping,” employees leaving because of fears of layoffs and downsizing, and exiting the company without documenting valuable knowledge are all reasons to seek methods to decrease turnover. Organizations can use strategic and evidence-based training and development (T&D) practices to retain talent and prevent the loss of institutional knowledge. This session will discuss how T&D can be used to reduce involuntary turnover in organizations and cover how self-paced training, error management training (EMT), and the use of …

The Determinants Of Bank Interest Rate Margins: A Panel Approach For Some Balkan Countries, Fidane Spahija Gjikolli
UBT International Conference
Studying interest rates has always been in focus of researches. Loans are the main source of funds for businesses and individuals, especially in the Balkan countries. The main problem is that high interest rate margins can indicate many factors, such as: The informal economy, problems with the cadaster system, an ineffective job of courts, the inability of Central Banks to inject liquidity, weaknesses in the quality of financial reporting of businesses, non-performing loans. It looks like all these problems are in favor of banks, by maximizing their profit. It is well known that the intermediary role of bank is to …

Organizational Alignment Through Leadership Proficiency And Human System Interventions, Kristin Weger, Raeshaun Jones, Lisa Matsuyama, Michael Buford, Jarielle Prince, Sarah Rose Stough
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Across many organizations, agencies and programs have been tasked with building, training, and retaining the workforce needed. Yet, only few organizations have succeeded in their efforts by creating a culture in which workforce preferences align and overarching leadership support is provided. Such a cultural transformation requires not only a behavioral shift from employees, but especially from those in leadership positions, in order to break from the typical way that organizations have long encouraged them to behave. Although the importance of leadership has been emphasized in previous literature, no consistent description of leadership attributes or promising application of human system interventions …
An Initial Key Evaluation Of The Strategic Interaction Between Macroeconomic Policies In Albania, Bernard Dosti, Elena Polo
An Initial Key Evaluation Of The Strategic Interaction Between Macroeconomic Policies In Albania, Bernard Dosti, Elena Polo
UBT International Conference
Monetary and fiscal policy constitutes principal macro-policies, even though they are usually designed and implemented with quite different - sometimes even contrary - goals. Although they have a certain degree of independence mostly in the institutional basis, there is also a considerable level of interdependence between them. This one is usually found in the literature with the term “interaction” and then “harmonization” when the country operates within a monetary union. The first objective of this paper is to shortly identify main elements of the interaction between macro-policies. The second objective is to evaluate this mutual interaction among them for the …

Assessment Of Education, Attitudes And Financial Behavior Towards Financial Decision-Making - The Case Of Students With Economic Aid, Perseta Grabova, Meril Canameri, Merlina Guni, Jona Hoxha
UBT International Conference
In today's society, individuals face financial pressures since a very young age. International studies in the field of behavior and financial literacy have shown that individuals who acquire financial knowledge at an early age will be able to manage their money, make the right financial decisions, and con-tribute to the financial stability of their country. Other studies argue that limited financial literacy is an important obstacle for low-income households to require products and financial services as they do not know or are unfamiliar with such products and services and consequently, they cannot obtain them. By analyzing the perception of the …
