With the declaration of a worldwide pandemic in March 2020 (World Health Organization 2020), COVID-19 has become a primary focus of governments and public health systems across the world with increases in infection and death rates. By mid-April 2020, more than 80% of countries had imposed containment and mitigation measures. But for developing nations, the threats of this global pandemic are more acute given the lack of resources and the capacity to deal with a shock of this magnitude (Loayza 2020). Despite calling for a lockdown on March 24th, 2020 (Pradhan 2020), Nepal faces several public health challenges including limited …

Online Retirement Planning Training: The Effects Of Usability On Cognitive Load And Retirement Planning Activity Levels, Natasha Hardy
Online Retirement Planning Training: The Effects Of Usability On Cognitive Load And Retirement Planning Activity Levels, Natasha Hardy
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
The shift from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans for the current generation of retiree planners, Generation X, has placed the onus on individuals to gather, comprehend, and utilize complex financial information in order to plan their own retirement. Low savings rates and retirement planning activity indicate that individuals are not up to the challenge. This research investigates the interplay of three facets of cognitive load, usability, tech and retirement anxiety and the effects of a usability intervention on retirement planning activity levels.
Study 1 used semi-structured interviews and cognitive task analysis to explore themes of computer and retirement …

Rationalizing Self-Defeating Behaviors: Theory And Evidence, Lars J. Lefgren, Olga B. Stoddard
Rationalizing Self-Defeating Behaviors: Theory And Evidence, Lars J. Lefgren, Olga B. Stoddard
Faculty Publications
Why do individuals engage in self-defeating behaviors like self-harm, addiction, and risky sexual behaviors? Why do they experience the apathy of depression or inaction when trapped by multiple competing problems? We propose a framework for explaining these and other related behaviors based on the insight that individuals can only experience a limited number of latent stimuli to which they are exposed. We conduct an experiment to test this model and find that more than two thirds of the subjects behave consistent with our theoretical framework.
Increasing Workplace Diversity: Evidence From A Recruiting Experiment At A Fortune 500 Company, Jeffrey A. Flory, Andreas Leibbrandt, Christina Rott, Olga B. Stoddard
Increasing Workplace Diversity: Evidence From A Recruiting Experiment At A Fortune 500 Company, Jeffrey A. Flory, Andreas Leibbrandt, Christina Rott, Olga B. Stoddard
Faculty Publications
While many firms have set ambitious goals to increase diversity in their ranks, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on effective ways to reach them. We use a natural field experiment to test several hypotheses on effective means to attract minority candidates for top professional careers. By randomly varying the content in recruiting materials of a major financial services corporation with more than 10,000 employees, we find that signaling explicit interest in employee diversity more than doubles the interest in openings among racial minority candidates, as well as the likelihood that they apply and are selected. Impacts on gender …
Modeling Time Series With Conditional Heteroscedastic Structure, Ratnayake Mudiyanselage Isuru Panduka Ratnayake
Modeling Time Series With Conditional Heteroscedastic Structure, Ratnayake Mudiyanselage Isuru Panduka Ratnayake
Doctoral Dissertations
"Models with a conditional heteroscedastic variance structure play a vital role in many applications, including modeling financial volatility. In this dissertation several existing formulations, motivated by the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic model, are further generalized to provide more effective modeling of price range data well as count data. First, the Conditional Autoregressive Range (CARR) model is generalized by introducing a composite range-based multiplicative component formulation named the Composite CARR model. This formulation enables a more effective modeling of the long and short-term volatility components present in price range data. It treats the long-term volatility as a stochastic component that in …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
ประเทศไทยเป็นประเทศผู้ส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรที่สำคัญ โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในกรณีของข้าว ยางพารา และมันสำปะหลัง อย่างไรก็ตาม ในช่วงหลายปีที่ผ่านมา โดยเฉพาะหลังจากปี พ.ศ.2552 แนวโน้มการส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรของประเทศไทยเริ่มอยู่ในทิศทางที่ลดลง อันเป็นผลมาจากการมีคู่แข่งทางการค้าที่มากขึ้นทั้งจากประเทศในภูมิภาคอาเซียน แอฟริกา และยุโรปตะวันออก ดังนั้น การศึกษาถึงปัจจัยที่กำหนดการส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรของประเทศไทยจึงมีความสำคัญเพื่อเป็นแนวทางวางนโยบายในการส่งเสริมความสามารถการแข่งขันด้านการส่งออกสินค้าเกษตร นอกจากนี้ หากพิจารณางานศึกษาถึงปัจจัยที่มีผลกระทบต่อการค้าระหว่างประเทศ สิ่งที่เป็นประเด็นสำคัญคือข้อมูลกระแสการค้าที่มีความสมมาตรหรือมีการค้าตลอดช่วงเวลา อย่างไรก็ตาม การเกิดข้อมูลกระแสการค้าที่เป็นศูนย์เป็นสิ่งที่พบได้บ่อยในข้อมูลการค้าระหว่างประเทศ อันเป็นผลจากการที่ประเทศต้นทางมีการค้ากับประเทศคู่ค้าไม่พร้อมกัน หรือประเทศคู่ค้าบางประเทศไม่มีการค้าในบางช่วงเวลา งานศึกษาก่อนหน้านี้พยายามจัดการกับปัญหาข้อมูลกระแสการค้าที่เป็นศูนย์ด้วยการละทิ้งข้อมูลการค้าที่เป็นศูนย์หรือการแทนที่ข้อมูลการค้าที่เป็นศูนย์ด้วยค่าข้อมูลที่เป็นบวกจำนวนที่น้อยแล้วประมาณค่าในรูปแบบสมการเชิงเส้นตรง ซึ่งวิธีการดังกล่าวอาจไม่เหมาะสมเนื่องจากก่อให้เกิดปัญหาความอคติของข้อมูล (Selection Bias) การศึกษานี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อเสนอเทคนิคการประมาณค่าแบบจำลองแรงโน้มถ่วงกับกระแสการค้าที่เป็นศูนย์ในสินค้าเกษตรสำคัญของประเทศไทย ได้แก่ ยางพารา ข้าว และผลิตภัณฑ์มันสำปะหลัง ลักษณะข้อมูลแบบพาเนลรายปี ตั้งแต่ปี พ.ศ.2543-2562 ด้วยวิธี Heckman Selection Model เพื่อจัดการกับปัญหา Selection Bias รวมถึงประยุกต์ใช้ Heterogeneous Firm Model จากงานศึกษาของ Helpman, Melitz and Rubinstein (2008) เพื่อจัดการกับปัญหา Heterogeneous Bias โดยการเพิ่มตัวแปรระดับผลิตภาพ (Productivity Threshold) ในแบบจำลองที่สะท้อนว่า ประเทศไทยตัดสินใจส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรเมื่อระดับผลิตภาพสูงมากเกินกว่าต้นทุนทางการค้า จากการศึกษาพบว่า การประมาณค่าแบบจำลองได้รับผลกระทบจากปัญหา Selection Bias และปัญหา Heterogenous Bias ในสินค้าเกษตรทั้ง 3 รายการ โดยปัจจัยที่กำหนดให้ประเทศไทยตัดสินใจส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรพิจารณาจากขนาดเศรษฐกิจของประเทศคู่ค้า ระยะห่างระหว่างประเทศ และระดับการเปิดประเทศเป็นหลัก อย่างไรก็ตามเมื่อพิจารณาถึงปัจจัยที่มีผลกระทบต่อการส่งออกสินค้าเกษตรแยกรายสินค้าพบว่า ยางพารา ควรให้ความสำคัญกับขนาดเศรษฐกิจของประเทศคู่ค้าควบคู่กับการให้ความสำคัญกับนโยบายของภาครัฐที่สนับสนุนการผลิตและการตลาดโดยพิจารณาถึงราคาซื้อขายยางพารา ควรยกระดับการเปิดประเทศและสนับสนุนการค้ากับประเทศคู่ค้าเพื่อนบ้านให้มากขึ้น สำหรับข้าว ควรให้ความสำคัญกับขนาดเศรษฐกิจของประเทศคู่ค้า การยกระดับผลิตภาพแรงงานการผลิตข้าวของเกษตรกร และขยายการค้าด้วยการยกระดับการเปิดประเทศที่มากขึ้น และสำหรับผลิตภัณฑ์มันสำปะหลัง ควรให้ความสำคัญกับขนาดเศรษฐกิจของประเทศคู่ค้าและสนับสนุนการค้ากับประเทศคู่ค้าเพื่อนบ้านให้มากขึ้นเช่นกัน
The Impact Of Different Provincial Economic Activities On Local Government's Revenue: The Case Of Provincial Administrative Organizations (Paos) In Thailand, Tanut Puangnuam
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Fiscal decentralization is a tool for government to delegate the authority to local government organizations (LAOs) in order to reduce the income gaps across regions. The government has responsibility to transfer funds to LAOs and reshape local revenue arrangements. The Provincial Administrative Organizations (PAOs) are the higher tier of LAOs at the provincial level. The majority of PAOs’ revenue comes from locally levied revenue, surcharge and shared revenue and intergovernmental transfer. Among the change of the development of Thailand’s provincial economy in Thailand, the revenue of the PAOs is significantly linked to economic growth in each province, which comes from …
Working Joblessness: Young People Deploying 21st Century Skills In Post-Conflict Liberia And Sierra Leone, Frances Fortune
Working Joblessness: Young People Deploying 21st Century Skills In Post-Conflict Liberia And Sierra Leone, Frances Fortune
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
In Liberia, state economic development policies based on the resource extractive industry's short-term needs have produced too few job opportunities for young people. The development policies have failed to grow the private sector to create jobs, recognize the importance of urbanization, or expand the informal economy's contribution to employment in urban areas. As a result, young people are obliged to use their creativity and digital connections to make a living outside of the normative models of work using an organic social process of bricolage. Bricolage is a type of entrepreneurship or a form of action which can occur in resource-scare …

Framing Inclusion: The Media Treatment Of Irregular Immigrants' Right To Health Care In Spain, Alisa Petroff, Anahí Viladrich, Sònia Parella
Publications and Research
With the passing of Royal Decree-Law 16/2012, Spain’s national health system switched from a model defined by universal and free health care principles, to a private insurance system that excluded large population groups. Based on a qualitative research design, this paper examines the media treatment of undocumented immigrants’ prerogatives to public health care in Spain (2012–2018). The analysis of 234 articles, drawn from three major Spanish newspapers, reveals three frames that underscore the media’s "rhetorics of inclusion," which argue for the extension of free medical services to irregular immigrants a topic traditionally underestimated by the literature. The moralist frame, supported …

Public Health Spending, Governance Quality And Poverty Alleviation, Mohamad Komarudin
Public Health Spending, Governance Quality And Poverty Alleviation, Mohamad Komarudin
Economics and Finance in Indonesia
Poverty alleviation has become the main priority program in most developing countries. This research empirically studies the correlation between public health spending, governance quality, and poverty alleviation in developing countries. The panel data were estimated via a random-effects (RE) model and robustness check using instrumental variables (IV) (two-stage least-squares [2SLS]) and first-difference generalized method of moments (GMM) because of the endogeneity problem. The results suggest that public health spending has a significant effect on reducing the poverty rate, and that countries with better governance tend to reduce poverty than countries with poor governance. Increasing public health spending by one percentage …
