The Effect Of Birth Order On Behavior On Behavior And Academic Performance, Maria Long
The Effect Of Birth Order On Behavior On Behavior And Academic Performance, Maria Long
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This paper studies the effect of birth order on a child’s math and reading comprehension aptitudes and likelihood of behavior problems. Numerous studies have been performed on this topic and the conclusions have varied. In this paper, I control for gender, race, number of siblings, mother’s age at birth, mother’s marital status at birth of child, and how often children argue with their parents about homework. I find evidence to suggest that first-born children will have significantly higher academic performance outcomes, last-born children will have significantly lower behavior issues, and the environment in which a child is raised will have …

Managerial Turnover In The English Premier League And The Subsequent Results, Jarrod Connally
Managerial Turnover In The English Premier League And The Subsequent Results, Jarrod Connally
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Efficient productivity often relies upon the matching of managerial skills and the resources available for production. Often, poor production outcomes can be attributed to those not directly involved in the production: the managers. Similarly, poor results in professional sports are often attributed to the men and women who never play a minute of a game: the managers/coaches. Managers are routinely blamed for performance and are often the first change an owner or a club will make to improve results. This paper will attempt to determine the performance effects of changing a club’s manager in soccer’s English Premier League (EPL). Further, …

A Study Of The Stochastic Behavior Of Durable Goods Consumption, Alexander Lebedinsky
A Study Of The Stochastic Behavior Of Durable Goods Consumption, Alexander Lebedinsky
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The author of this thesis examines the stochastic behavior of durables consumption in the rational expectations/permanent income hypothesis framework. The testing in this paper parallels the studies conducted by other researchers, who basing their work mainly on quarterly data rejected the frictionless rational expectations/permanent income hypothesis. The distinctive feature of this thesis is that the models are examined using monthly instead of quarterly data. The results of the estimation are compared to the results based on quarterly data. The results show that estimates obtained using monthly data seem to be more consistent with the frictionless rational expectations/permanent income hypothesis than …
