Predicting House Prices Using Machine Learning, Pejal Rath, Robert Slater Mar 2026

Predicting House Prices Using Machine Learning, Pejal Rath, Robert Slater

SMU Data Science Review

This study explores the use of Machine Learning methods to predict housing prices, a problem of significant interest in real estate economics, and data science. Traditional hedonic pricing models have long been used to evaluate the impact of housing attributes on property values, but they often lack the flexibility to capture nonlinear relationships and complex feature interactions. Recent advancements in regression based and Machine Learning approaches provide promising alternatives that may improve prediction of accuracy and market insights. This research will investigate how models such as linear regression, random forest, and gradient boosting can be applied to publicly available housing …

Application Of Open-Source Small Large Language Models For Finance Report Analysis, Tue Vu, Mark Austin, Marcel Tuijn Mar 2026

Application Of Open-Source Small Large Language Models For Finance Report Analysis, Tue Vu, Mark Austin, Marcel Tuijn

SMU Data Science Review

The rapid integration of generative AI in finance introduces both opportunities and challenges, particularly when analyzing sensitive data such as Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. This study investigates the use of open-source Small Large Language Models (SLLMs), deployed locally through the Ollama and LangChain frameworks, combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for extracting financial insights relevant to index performance and reporting quality. Two key objectives guide this work: (1) benchmarking multiple open-source SLLMs for sentiment analysis, multiple-choice reasoning, and financial question answering, and (2) assessing the feasibility of locally deployed SLLMs for domain-specific financial queries.

Not All Ei Dimensions Are Created Equal: Differential Effects Of Perceived Leader Emotional Intelligence On Lmx Quality And Employee Engagement, Michael Frommack Mar 2026

Not All Ei Dimensions Are Created Equal: Differential Effects Of Perceived Leader Emotional Intelligence On Lmx Quality And Employee Engagement, Michael Frommack

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This quantitative study examined the pathways through which employees’ perceptions of their leaders’ emotional intelligence influenced employee engagement, with leader-member exchange (LMX) quality as a mediating mechanism. Using structural equation modeling with data from 368 full-time employees, the study investigated whether the four dimensions of leader emotional intelligence differentially predicted the three dimensions of employee engagement. Results demonstrated that leader EQ strongly predicted LMX quality (β = .80, p < .001, R² = .64), and that leader emotional intelligence and LMX quality significantly predicted employee engagement in bivariate analyses (β = .43, p < .001, R² = .19; β = .47, p < .001, R² = .22, respectively). However, LMX quality completely mediated this relationship. The indirect effect was significant (β = .26, p = .002), while the direct effect was nonsignificant after accounting for LMX (β = .17, p = .108), indicating full mediation. No dimension-specific pathways emerged after controlling for relationship quality. Supplementary analyses revealed that others’ emotion appraisal (OEA) demonstrated almost twice the predictive strength of the other emotional intelligence dimensions for predicting LMX quality (β = .45, p < .001). These findings provide empirical support for Social Exchange Theory and demonstrate that leader emotional intelligence is statistically accounted for by relationship quality mechanisms. Practical implications suggest that organizations should prioritize relationship building competencies in leadership development and selection. Theoretical implications challenge assumptions about dimensional equivalence in emotional intelligence frameworks and establish LMX quality as the complete mediator for leadership influence on employee engagement.

Exploring The Duality Of Intelligence Quotient And Emotional Intelligence In Leadership, Michael J. Shepherd Mar 2026

Exploring The Duality Of Intelligence Quotient And Emotional Intelligence In Leadership, Michael J. Shepherd

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Leadership effectiveness is a critical factor in organizational success, yet there is no clear consensus on what specific qualities and behaviors constitute effective leadership. Despite the litany of research studies on intelligence quotient and emotional intelligence, there has been limited, if any, research specifically focused on understanding the processes used by organizations to determine how these two characteristics work in conjunction with one another to create effective leadership. The following research study and literature review included exploring the fundamentals of the issue, and the methods and procedures used by organizations to determine leadership effectiveness or select new leaders. Understanding the …

Redesigning Online Graduate Orientation To Foster Academic Resilience And Prevent Underperformance, Stella Michael-Makri, David E. Rodriguez Mar 2026

Redesigning Online Graduate Orientation To Foster Academic Resilience And Prevent Underperformance, Stella Michael-Makri, David E. Rodriguez

Journal of Academic Underperformance

Graduate students in fully online programs often begin their academic journey without adequate preparation for the emotional, structural, and cultural challenges of graduate-level work. For students who are first-generation, racially marginalized, international, or returning to education after time away, this lack of scaffolding can lead to early disengagement, underperformance, or attrition. Orientation, often treated as a checklist of logistical tasks, represents a missed opportunity for meaningful academic intervention. This manuscript proposes a five-module conceptual model for online graduate orientation designed to proactively support online graduate students in the domains of emotional regulation and academic identity, time management and executive functioning, …

Rupturing The Sport Management Classroom: Zine-Making For World-Making, Roc Rochon, Chen Chen Mar 2026

Rupturing The Sport Management Classroom: Zine-Making For World-Making, Roc Rochon, Chen Chen

Sport Management Collection

The on-going COVID-19 pandemic (and the pandemic of capitalism, white supremacy, imperialism, and colonialism, etc.) calls for imaginative, relevant, and critical approaches in sport management education to address diverse, socially, and culturally dynamic students. Yet the bulk of existing educational resources remain rooted in reinforcing systems of domination and the structure of on-going settler colonialism (Chen & Mason, 2019; hooks, 1994). A major challenge in traditional approaches to “updating” the curriculum fall short in challenging the banking mode of education (Freire, 1970). Following Amis and Silk’s (2005) call for a “rupture” of the reproduction of the status quo within sport …

Candidate Generative Ai Use In Pre‐Hire Employment Assessments: Self‐Reported Incidence And The Impact Of Warnings, Chet Robie, Timothy G. Wingate, Nataliya Baytalskaya, Hilary Butera

Business Faculty Publications

The rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) poses new challenges for the validity and fairness of pre‐hire employment assessments. Across two applied studies using large applicant samples completing a standardized pre‐hire assessment (which includes both cognitive and non‐cognitive components), we examined the self‐reported incidence of GenAI assistance, and the impact of warning statements designed to deter such behavior. In Study 1 (N = 5675), conducted in Q3 2024, fewer than 3% of applicants reported using GenAI, though up to 19% reported using GenAI in combination with algorithmic resources (e.g., search engines). All three warning statements (consequences, educational, and reasoning) …

Management Indicators For Agricultural Cooperatives, Gerard Deshayes Mar 2026

Management Indicators For Agricultural Cooperatives, Gerard Deshayes

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article examines how the performance of agricultural cooperatives can be evaluated through management indicators better suited to their specific economic nature than conventional business ratios. Using the case of a dairy cooperative, the author shows the limits of judging cooperative efficiency solely through profit rates and accounting results, since cooperatives pursue objectives linked not only to capital but also to member remuneration, product pricing, and service to producers. The paper distinguishes between economic efficiency and financial efficiency, and proposes a framework centered on value obtained and distributed value in order to assess how cooperative activity creates and redistributes benefits …

Foundations Of A New Strategy For Financing Traditional Agriculture Through Agricultural Credit, Bouarfa Mar 2026

Foundations Of A New Strategy For Financing Traditional Agriculture Through Agricultural Credit, Bouarfa

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article outlines a new strategy for financing traditional agriculture through agricultural credit in Morocco. It discusses the exceptional mobilization of financial resources after the drought crisis and argues that support to small farmers should move beyond emergency lending toward modern and durable forms of productive financing. The author emphasizes that rural credit for traditional agriculture must be aligned with the realities of peasant households, where production is often oriented toward self-consumption and family labor remains central. The paper advocates credit procedures, repayment methods, supervision, and local outreach mechanisms better adapted to small-scale farming in order to improve both productivity …

The Role Of Agricultural Credit In The Development Of Agriculture: The Case Of Morocco, T. Masmoudi Mar 2026

The Role Of Agricultural Credit In The Development Of Agriculture: The Case Of Morocco, T. Masmoudi

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This paper examines agricultural credit as a strategic instrument for agricultural development in Morocco. It argues that credit can contribute to investment, modernization, income growth, and social promotion, but only if it is embedded in a coherent economic and social policy framework. The author reviews the main obstacles that limited the effectiveness of agricultural credit, including inappropriate institutional choices, weak agrarian structures, insufficient organization, limited outreach, and intervention rules poorly adapted to small farmers. The article concludes that a more flexible, decentralized, and development-oriented credit system is necessary if rural finance is to serve the needs of traditional as well …

Production System And The Development Of Tobacco Cultivation In Morocco, A. Salhi Mar 2026

Production System And The Development Of Tobacco Cultivation In Morocco, A. Salhi

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The article reviews the historical evolution of tobacco cultivation in Morocco and examines the production system that supported its expansion. It traces the crop’s introduction, the role of the tobacco monopoly and public supervision, the spread of experimental stations and extension efforts, and the shift from larger industrial-style cultivation toward small family-based production in mountainous regions. The author shows that this family farming model reduced average plot size while improving quality, broadening planter participation, and adapting tobacco cultivation to areas with limited agricultural alternatives. Tobacco is presented as an example of how agro-industrial organization can reshape rural production structures and …

Rural Exodus And Development In Morocco, Dufraisse Mar 2026

Rural Exodus And Development In Morocco, Dufraisse

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This paper studies rural out-migration in Morocco and its implications for economic and territorial development. Using census comparisons and demographic estimates, the author seeks to measure the scale of rural exodus and to distinguish it from natural population growth. The article shows that migration from the countryside to towns and major cities intensified over time, with marked regional differences and a growing concentration in the largest urban centers. It argues that rural exodus is both a symptom of structural imbalance and a major development issue, requiring stronger rural policies rather than being treated as a purely demographic phenomenon.

The Crisis Of Moroccan Agriculture: State Strategy And Alternatives, Mohamed Raki Mar 2026

The Crisis Of Moroccan Agriculture: State Strategy And Alternatives, Mohamed Raki

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The article analyzes the structural crisis of Moroccan agriculture by linking slow production growth to rising food dependence and the increasing weight of agricultural imports. It criticizes the state’s technical choices, especially the heavy emphasis on dam-based irrigation and forms of modernization that favored selected sectors while leaving much of basic food production and small-scale farming behind. The author reviews the limits of hydro-agricultural investment, mechanization, and input-intensive modernization, and argues that these policies deepened external dependence and internal imbalances. In response, the paper calls for alternative development paths better suited to national needs, food security, and the realities of …

Some Reflections On Agricultural Policy: Constraints, Policy Levers, Degrees Of Freedom, And Choices, J. Molinier Mar 2026

Some Reflections On Agricultural Policy: Constraints, Policy Levers, Degrees Of Freedom, And Choices, J. Molinier

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This paper offers a conceptual reflection on agricultural policy by distinguishing between its structural constraints, its main instruments, and the room for public choice. The author argues that agricultural policy cannot be separated from broader economic policy and identifies major constraints linked to natural conditions, economic structures, political objectives, and international trends. The article reviews the principal levers available to governments, including policies on production techniques, farm structures, prices, population, and incomes, together with the financial means used to support them. It concludes that technical progress, price policy, and farmer training and organization are among the most decisive factors for …
