We use geospatial data for 58,676 grid cells during the period 1997-2013 with about one million grid-by-year observations. Using fixed effects estimating techniques, we evaluate the impact of World Bank foreign aid projects on grid cell night-time light growth. The estimates reveal that World Bank foreign aid projects contribute significantly and positively to grid cell economic activity measured by night-time light growth. We complement the fast-growing literature using geocoded data to assess aid effectiveness at the subnational level. We provide evidence that the lack of robust empirical findings at the country and subnational (e.g., ADM1 and ADM2) level can be explained due to spatial aggregation and the choice of spatial units. Additional estimates and robustness tests further corroborate our main findings.},

abstract = {In this paper, we employ a correlated random effects econometric framework to simultaneously estimate the within and between effects of age on subjective well-being based on longitudinal survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The proposed approach helps to explain differing findings on the relationship between age and subjective well-being reported in a series of studies based on cross-sectional and/or longitudinal panel data. We find empirical support for a wave-like pattern of subjective well-being over the life course. In contrast to the existing literature, our results point to significantly different life cycle patterns for the within- and between-person results. While the between-person results show robust turning points of age around the mid-40s and 90s, the within-person findings indicate that subjective well-being is rather stable between age 16 and 23 and then approaches a local maximum at age 75. We show that the type of variation employed in the empirical analysis (e.g., cross-sectional vs. longitudinal panel) of the age-well-being association has a non-negligible impact on the obtained results and the inferences drawn. Moreover, we do not find support of a U-shape association between subjective well-being and age. This finding holds even if we restrict the sample to those survey respondents aged 18–65 years, indicating that the age-well-being relationship is more complex than a U-shape would predict. A series of additional robustness tests corroborate our main findings.},

abstract = {The issue of novelty-seeking traits have been related to important economic attitudes such as risk-taking, entrepreneurial, and explorative behaviors that foster technological progress and, thus, economic development. However, numerous molecular genetic studies have shown that novelty-seeking bearing individuals are prone to certain psychological “disadvantages” such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), leading to occupational and educational difficulties in modern societies. Using a recent compilation of DRD4 exon III allele frequencies – a particular gene variant that population geneticists have found to be sometimes associated with the human phenotype of novelty-seeking behavior – this paper advances a new country-level measure on the prevalence of novelty-seeking traits for a large number of countries worldwide. The results suggest a stable non-monotonic inverted U-shaped relationship between the country-level DRD4 exon III allele frequency measure and economic development. This finding is suggestive of the potential “benefits” and “costs” of novelty-seeking traits for the aggregate economy.},

Economics often pictures this phenomenon as a case of signalling: individuals engage in the volunteer programming of open-source software (OSS) as a labour-market signal resulting in a wage premium. Yet, this explanation could so far not be empirically tested. This article fills this gap by estimating an upper-bound composite wage premium of voluntary OSS contributions and by separating the potential signalling effect of OSS engagement from other effects. Although some 70% of OSS contributors believe that OSS involvement benefits their careers, we find no actual labour-market premium for OSS engagement. The presence of other motives, such as fun of play or altruism, renders OSS contributions too noisy to function as a signal.},

A capital good’s service can thus be measured directly by the energy consumed in production. We show important empirical advantages of this approximation over traditional measures. The empirical application reveals that this approach avoids a number of conceptual problems of the latter. Furthermore, this measure captures the utilization of the capital stock more accurately as it is more sensitive to fluctuations in economic activity. With a growth accounting exercise, it is shown that the differences between the new and the traditional measures are important for empirical work. Using the new measure yields significantly different results. Especially in times of global recession it provides higher and more feasible total factor productivity growth rates.},

Our results indicate that rising ethanol production exerts statistically significant positive impacts on sugarcane; negative impacts on rice, beans and soybeans acreage but no statistically significant effect on the areas for corn and manioc. The negative impacts on commodities' acreage have implications for the associated prices. Ceteris paribus, rising ethanol production puts some upward pressure on the prices for rice, beans and soybeans. However, the economic implication of these direct land use effects is attenuated due to the moderate scale of any effect.},

A trade-off between privacy protection and data usefulness is by now widely acknowledged. Real world data classification tasks, as for example credit scoring applications have to deal with such data security limitations by finding a way to effectively incorporate privacy preserving procedures. To this end we propose as a first stage to use a microaggregation procedure in order to anonymize data over personal credit client feature information. In a second stage we examine the performance of support vector machines (SVM) on such anonymized data. SVM are powerful and robust machine learning methods, having superior credit scoring classification performance when applied to original, non-anonymized data. We first partition the original credit scoring data set and construct anonymized data representatives, which are then used for credit client behavior forecasting models constructed by SVM and other comparable learning methods. The validation procedure for such models is adapted to the two-stage modeling approach. In order to assess the loss owing to data anonymization, the different classification models are evaluated against models that are trained on the original data.},

In a simple model, we formalize the innovation impact of OSS entry by examining a change in market structure from monopoly to duopoly under the assumption that software producers compete in technology rather than price or quantities. The model takes into account development costs and total cost of ownership, whereby the latter captures items such as network externalities.

Newly generated knowledge is assumed not only to add to the existing R&D capital stocks but also, by displacing old knowledge, to destroy part of that capital. This is in stark contrast to the perpetual inventory method, which postulates a constant rate of depreciation. We compare both methods by estimating the impact of R&D and spillovers on output of nine industries in twelve OECD countries, and find that the new approach leads to more sensible and robust results.},

abstract = {Credit applicants are assigned to good or bad risk classes according to their record of defaulting. Each applicant is described by a high-dimensional input vector of situational characteristics and by an associated class label. A statistical model, which maps the inputs to the labels, can decide whether a new credit applicant should be accepted or rejected, by predicting the class label given the new inputs. Support vector machines (SVM) from statistical learning theory can build such models from the data, requiring extremely weak prior assumptions about the model structure. Furthermore, SVM divide a set of labelled credit applicants into subsets of ‘typical’ and ‘critical’ patterns. The correct class label of a typical pattern is usually very easy to predict, even with linear classification methods. Such patterns do not contain much information about the classification boundary. The critical patterns (the support vectors) contain the less trivial training examples. For instance, linear discriminant analysis with prior training subset selection via SVM also leads to improved generalization. Using non-linear SVM, more ‘surprising’ critical regions may be detected, but owing to the relative sparseness of the data, this potential seems to be limited in credit scoring practice.},

The paper investigates the question of why some producers of a proprietary software support the development of open source software (OSS) while others refuse any support.

In applications deriving from business intelligence, potentially valuable data from large databases often cannot be used in an unrestricted way. Privacy constraints may not allow the data modeler to use all of the existing feature variables in building the classification models. In certain situations, pre-processing the original data can lead to intermediate datasets, which hide private or commercially sensitive information but still contain information useful enough for building competitive classification models. To this end, we propose to cooperatively use both unsupervised Clustering and supervised Support Vector Machines. For an instance of real-life credit client scoring, we then evaluate our approach against the case of unrestricted use of all data features.},

abstract = {Credit client scoring on medium sized data sets can be accomplished by means of Support Vector Machines (SVM), a powerful and robust machine learning method. However, real life credit client data sets are usually huge, containing up to hundred thousands of records, with good credit clients vastly outnumbering the defaulting ones. Such data pose severe computational barriers for SVM and other kernel methods, especially if all pairwise data point similarities are requested. Hence, methods which avoid extensive training on the complete data are in high demand. A possible solution is clustering as preprocessing and classification on the more informative resulting data like cluster centers. Clustering variants which avoid the computation of all pairwise similarities robustly filter useful information from the large imbalanced credit client data set, especially when used in conjunction with a symbolic cluster representation. Subsequently, we construct credit client clusters representing both client classes, which are then used for training a non standard SVM adaptable to our imbalanced class set sizes. We also show that SVM trained on symbolic cluster centers result in classification models, which outperform traditional statistical models as well as SVM trained on all our original data.},

Support vector machines (SVM) are useful classification methods for credit client scoring. However, the urgent need to further boost classification performance as well as the stability of results in applications leads the machine learning community into developing SVM with multiple kernels and many other combined approaches. Using a data set from a German bank, we first examine the effects of combining a large number of base SVM on classification performance and robustness. The base models are trained on different sets of reduced client characteristics and may also use different kernels. Furthermore, using censored outputs of multiple SVM models leads to more reliable predictions in most cases. But there also remains a credit client subset that seems to be unpredictable. We show that in unbalanced data sets, most common in credit scoring, some minor adjustments may overcome this weakness. We then compare our results to the results obtained earlier with more traditional, single SVM credit scoring models.},

It captures the most important lines of research dealing with the economics of \{OSS\} and its development. Research on these issues has made substantial progress in recent years, both in identifying particularities and in offering explanations for them. \{OSS\} is mainly programmed by volunteers who engage in such projects free of charge. The perplexing particularities such as volunteer programmers, free availability and the emergence of OSS-based for-profit firms create the backdrop for examining central research questions on the \{OSS\} phenomenon.. It discusses a primer on \{OSS\} and the surrounding development process including a sketch of how OSS-related activities actually generate revenues. The chapter addresses issues such as the motivation of for-profit firms in their participation in OSS, their relation to \{OSS\} communities, nature of sustainable OSS-based business models, and the innovation performance of OSS, addressing issues such as the innovation incentives for further developing an operating system or software applications for an operating system, and the impact of \{OSS\} competition on the willingness to innovate in software industries featuring highly concentrated market structures.},

This paper investigates the credit scoring performance of support vector machines (SVM) with weighted classes and moderated outputs. First, we consider the adjustment of support vector machines for credit scoring to a set of non standard situations important to practitioners. Such more sophisticated credit scoring systems will adapt to vastly different proportions of credit worthiness between sample and population. Different costs for different types of misclassification will also be handled. Second, sigmoid output mapping is used to derive default probabilities, important for constructing rating systems and a step towards more “personalized” credit contracts.},

abstract = {Previous literature has identified income, poor health and social relationships as the most important predictors of subjective well-being (SWB). In addition, the literature has identified a non-linear relationship between age and SWB, with a dip in SWB in mid-life. Explanations of the non-linear age-SWB relationship include the notion of unmet aspirations and the idea that people’s emotional response to the drivers of SWB changes with age. Against this background, we use representative longitudinal data for Germany (1992- 2019) with about 570,000 observations for more than 88,000 individuals aged 16-105 years to investigate if and how the association between SWB and its main predictors changes over the life cycle. Using fixed effects estimation to control for cohort effects and unobserved personal characteristics, we find that the marginal effects of income and social relationships vary with age in a wave-like fashion, while the negative marginal effect of poor health increases monotonically and progressively with age. Our results are similar for alternative measures of SWB (life satisfaction and living in misery) and for men and women. The agerelated changes in the importance of income and social relationships for SWB found in this paper help to explain the relationship between age and SWB found in previous literature.},

Using spatial regression techniques, I confirm the presence of peer effects for the eighth grade population in the USA in the TIMSS 2015 student assessment. For students, the likelihood of cooperation increases conditionally on visible and non-visible characteristics, such as age, gender, migratory background, and attitudes towards scholastic achievement. This grouping behavior is found to affect the spillover effects of student variables, such as gender and language skills. The main findings are robust to various definitions of the social network matrix, as well as to the inclusion of teacher fixed effects.},

The proposed approach overcomes the ambiguity in the relationship between age and subjective well-being reported in a series of studies based on cross-sectional and/or longitudinal panel data. Our results suggest that a cubic-type functional relationship between well-being and age fits the data best, leading to highly significant coefficient estimates associated with the age variables, and consistent within and between effects of age on subjective well-being. A linear or quadratic functional relationship between well-being and age is not empirically supported, as the between and within estimates of age on well-being differ significantly from each other. The main findings are robust to the inclusion of a broad range of individual-level sociological, demographic, and economic controls, and to the inclusion of various interviewer controls such as survey experience, survey type, and interviewer fixed effects.},

The analysis draws on a novel dataset that include daily retail prices of gasoline and diesel from virtually all fuel stations in Germany over the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. Our findings from the national, state-specific and station-level analyses based on an asymmetric error correction model indicate that asymmetric pricing is the norm rather than exception. Specifically, we find empirical evidence that points to a pervasive rockets-and-feathers pattern. We also find that asymmetric pricing in the German retail fuel market might partly be the consequence of tacit collusion among competitors as well as disparate search intensity on the part of consumers. We further show that temporal aggregation of station-level price data might lead to inaccurate inferences and could account for the contradictory findings in the extant literature.},

The proposed grid cell approach solves a number of endogeneity problems discussed in the aid effectiveness literature that make it diffcult to identify the true effect of foreign aid on development outcomes due to the presence of unobserved heterogeneity, lack of key country-level controls, aggregation bias, simultaneity and/or the presence of reverse causality in the association between foreign aid and economic growth, measurement errors, and endogenous sample selection bias. The estimates reveal that World Bank foreign aid projects contribute signifcantly to grid cell economic activity measured by night-time lights growth. This finding is robust to the presence of unobserved country-year and grid-cell-specific unobserved heterogeneity, and to the inclusion of a full set of grid-cell-specifc socioeconomic, demographic, con ict-related, biogeographic, and climatic controls. Additional sensitivity tests confirm the robustness of the main findings to various econometric estimators, alternative model specifications, and different spatial aggregation levels.},
